HOW TO ENTERTAIN.
BY ozIAs MIDSUMMER.

John Marshall Jones one Sunday went
To see somebody's sister
When lecrning she'd whitherward bent,
Forthwith there and then missed her.
Now, John was not the man to weep
b'or such nishap forever.
He knew his love was such 'twould keep
Aor ever, ever, ever.
But when the widowed mother came
To greet him for her daughter,
He vowed she looked good in q frame-
Much better than he thought her.
For there she stood the doorway in,
Its frame about her standing,
And solry was for what had been,
AS stood he on the landing.
sWill you come in ?" she sweetly said,
When few flame Of motion
AthWarc the man from feet to head,
Because twas to his notion.
He took seat upon chair,
His feet placed on the carpet,
And wondered at her wealth OF hair
II she alone could part it,
The thought, though downed al times would
tease
When sighed he with its worry
"He1l 60 she thought because o. these,
So asked him no5 to hurry.
Then came O crash of dismal sound,
The cat was in the cellar,
She thought that burglars were around
And hoped he'd look and tell her.
He went, but not alone went he;
He went with her attending,
He went the burglar bold to see,
While DER her shoulder bending.
But somehow they the cellar missed,
Forgot what they were doing
And ere where they were going wtst
Discovered they were wooing.
They found themselves in circling gait
Around the table vending,
And slaking thirst for love TO safe
BY signs and gances sending.
But very soon they also found
Their thirst was not a5ating,
When clasp they each the other round.
And walked, no longer waiting.
So to the lounge they loving went,
And loving sat together,
When seemed her mind on nature bent,
For talked she of the weather.
This ruined all his blissful hope,
And burned his heart to ashes;
1t burst like bubbles made of soap,
He cursed these widow mashes.
"Ha, ha!" the widow shouted then,
I've tried your soul with FIRE;
Come, Joy what you mad hoped 10 Wnen
welcomed your desire.
"For"--but before she'd said the more.
He'd wondered what now this is,
When healed his heart of every sore
AS poured she in the Mrs.
For on his breast she trembling leaned,
And on her breast he gloried;
AS fed they on the feast that seemed
OF fat things forty stored.
They lived for life may long be borne
Ere Joy rends it asunder,
But this sweet Joy was closely shorn,
And of this there's no wonder
For Just then came the daughter home,
And saw them mixed and cuddled
And heard their vain excuses some,
And got them badly nuddled
SO great became her anger then
She uttered some hard saying,
When learned she John was. like most men,
Must entertained be, if staying.
This cheered the maidens heart again,
She blessed her darling mother.i
But vowed henceforth she'd entertain,
Not leave it to another.

JANET LEE
In the Shadow of the
GaUOWS.
BY DAVID LOWRY.
CHAPTER XIII.
GILES ELLIS TRIUMPH.


The pulse OF New England quickened
as the waves of superstition rolled over
the land. Men and women hitherto re-
spected by their fellows were thrown into
prison upon pretexts so trivial that the
generation accustomed 10 the railway,
telegraph, and telephone cannot compre-
hend much less realize, the extent Of the
craze that sent thousands to untimely
graves in Europe, and overpowered rea-
fon, humanity and justice in New Eng
lanI.
Envy and hate, malice and revenge
ru'ed the hour. Neighbors at variance,
instead of resorting to the courts, de-
nounced each other as witches. The
prisons were crowded with men, women,
and children.
At a time when the strongest men
yielded to despair, pleading guilty to
charges coined by the malevolent. cow
ering before the ignorant and headstrong,
Janet Lee displayeda degree of fortitude
and resolution that won for her the adj
miration Of all who knew her, and the re-
spect of the more intellieent was out
spoken as her case was discussed. She
was as cheerful in Ipswich Jail as when
she was at home, seemingly.
DO not give up hope, mother. 1t ls
not like the people of Massachusetts 10
hang women and children. have more
faith in our friends in Salem than 10
think they will let them hang two women
on such slender evidence.
IF we had but told the truth at first, !"
Dorothea answered. "Or if Martin Lee
knew now

"And why should / not be brave? Am

Alas! John Lee is not what he was.
His spirit is broken.
Il am much mistaken if my father does
not show the people of Salem ere long
the stuff the Lees are made OF.
Footsteps approached the door as she
spoke, and the jailer admitted John Lee,
who clasped wife and daughter in his
arms AS he held them OF, scanning
their features closely, he said bitterly:
$50. This is Salem's return to the
wife and daughter of the man who served
her in her need 1t we're better my neigh

added between his clenched teeth; Il

The great siphon in the new aque-
duct for the water supply of New York
City is considered a most wonderful
piece of hydraulic engineering. It
conveys the metropolitan water supply
across the Harlem at depth of 307
feet beneath the river bed Certain ad
vantages were gained by this method
over stone or steel viaduct which, it
is believed, will counterbalance its
greater cost. Not the least of these is
the immunity from danger of foreign
attack.

DesDeratc Indeed.

Dolores, Colo. Special, Jan. 16.-News
was received here tonight that Phil
Foote, the most noted desperate in the
West, has again distinguished himself
by the daring robbery of Henry Mayer,
ing company, on the Colorado river in
Utah. He got away with $4,000. Some
six months ago Foote held up the dealer
in u faro bank in McDermott's club
rooms in Salt Lake. He made his es-
cape, after a running fight with officers,
reached the Henry mountains in safety,
and with his companion constructed a
raft and embarked on it for a voyage
bown the most dangerous part of the
river, it being their intention to get into
the wilds of Arizona away from the
United States marshals. When the raft
got as far as Cataract Canon it was
caught up in the whirling eddies and
dashed to pieces against the rocky cliffs.
Foote and his companion were thrown
into the river and carried over the cat
aract, and We're only saved by being car
ried into one of the numerous little box
or side canyons. Their clothes were lit
orally torn from their backs, and they
were bruised and bleeding. They con-
ST. ucted another raft from lumber which
had washed into the little canyon, and
after another perilous voyage managed
to reach Dandy Crossing. where they eff
tected landing. Since that time Footes
whereabouts have been unknown until
yesterday. when he appeared on the road
between Rabbit Valley and Salina and
made Mayer shell out. It is thought
that he has his stronghold in the Rabbit
valley. and United States marshals will
proceed against him at once. He is a
desperate OF most resOlute type, and it
Is not likely that he will be taken alive.

Dolores. Colo. Special. Jan. 16.-News
was received here tonight by courier
that one of the many saloons on wagon
road leading from here to the San Juan
country was raided by band of Indians
last night. The Indians have been very
restless of late, roaming around in close
proximity to saloons and have been try
ing to pl rchase whisky, but United States
marshals kept too close watch en- the
saloons to allow them to sell any. Last
night a saloon run by a German about
sixty miles from here, was attacked by
band of about fifty Indians led by
Navajo Mike, and all the contents car
ried away. There were eight people
in the saloon at the time. Most of them
were prospectors on their way to the
San Juan. Navajo Mike, who speaks
some English, told the saloonkeeper that
the red men must have some frewater.
The redskins in the meantime were cir

When the saloonkeper refused to sell
liquor a signal was given and about half
the Indians dismounted and carried away
all the grog in the store. The saloon
keeper, realizing how futile it would be

" dams to have their own way about
things. The news of the raid has Great
ed great excitement among people in
this section of the country who are &C
quainted with the desperate character of
the Navajo Indians. 1t is now feared
that with lots of firewater the many
threats of Indians against whites coming
on their reservation will now be carried
out. The Indians ever since the boom
commenced have displayed a most sui
len disposition and have thwarted pros
pectors in every conceivable manner. A
bloody battle seems inevitable between
redskins and prospectors. There are
about 5000 people now in the camp and
only one white woman. Most of the
prospectors are out of provisions and are
in a desperate mood. If battle does
occur the Indians will have but little
show.

Detroit Tribune -
"Here," declared the missionary,

The noble red men opened their
eyes, but made no reply.
"Come, We who weary" urged the
missionary.
"Huhn' 800,
The Indians seemed quite contente-
with their present position. The in
ducements held out by the bald-head-
ed party with red nose were not
sufficiently powerful to arouse within
their breasts any consuming desire
for a change.
"Be men!" exclaimed the man Of
God.
'tHuh!'
The denizens of the forest evidently
preferred to be Indians. Possibly it
was more fun, but they didn't say.
