HlLLYS JOKE.
Tho Story Of n Mountain Goat Who Is OF
n Humorous Turn Of Mind.


A mouHtain goat thatT once kept in
confinement was about as cunning as
the crerago street arab, and, had he
lived to maturity and Kept on acquir-
ing knowledge, the chances are would
have had to move out and give him the
ranch
He usually followed me, says a
writer il Fcrcst and Stream, on short
excursions into the woods, and gen
orally kept right at my ihecls; but on
one, occasion he Jagged behind, and,
although l called him aevcral times,
he paid no heed. l finally walked back
TO see what he was interested in and
found him busy feeding on some moss
that grew ct the roots OF Q fir tree,
SO lcit him and continued my tramp.
EEt after ] had got away a short dis
taEcc tl,c thought occurred to me to
hide end sec how he would act; so
Slipped into hollow stump close by
the trail and awaited the rcGrlt. Pros
emily / heard him coming bounding
along the t-ail. a-.l after he had
passed l stuck out my head to watch
him. When he got twenty feet beyond
me he stopped ard commenced looking
around, and the cornical expression of
his face as lie scanned every object
that bore any semblance to human
ba;nc caused me to burst out laughinT,
when he turned and cav me. Then he
commenced to sulll and would not 60
any further. SO I had to go home.
The next day he followed me as
usual, but in the midst of some thick
br:lch ed down timber got interested
in bird that 1 was following up, and
forgot the goat, and when I came to
loot. fer him he wa1 gone. Wall.ing back
to where l last saw him called, but
no BILLY came in sight. Then / com
nenced q diligont search, and present
ly caught sight OF something white
beneath brush heap. STOPPING down
end looking in, / saw the little brute
curlcd Up in heap, and not Z more
could Gct oat of him. Reaching in,
caught hin by the leg and pulled him
out. cnd gave him good cutting On
both sides OF his head. Eut he did
not raiEd il bit, and seemed to enjoy
the joke immensely, capcring about in
his usual manner all the way home. aG
if Ea-y:ouid say: "You hid from ETC
yesterday and l hid from you to-day,
cni hororS are even"

THE czAn'o pEouLIARIri.s.
A Ruler of Simple ,.al,:ts Who Hates All
Ceremony.

A Ruler of Simple Habits v.ho Hates AL
Ceremony.
The correspondent of the London
Times in Paris says that the French
will be greatly disappointed if they
think that q general or al admiral, ns
an ambassador in st. Petersburg, will
be more successful in getting the eur
of the car than plain citizen. The
fact is, he says, that the czar never
gives an audience. lie then continues:
''This man, who disposes CT one of the
vastcst empires in the world, before
whom everything falls down, whom no
one reoists, for whom it is enough that
he should raise little finger to set in
movement millions and millions of
men, is neither 10 soldier nor sailor
nor n diplomat. ';I,lhight add that he is
almost what is.known here as 2 bour-
gcois. He has Q horror of fetcs, he de-
tests ceremonies, he loves neither mill
tary nor naval reviews. He adoreS his
family and is scontented only with them.
He is not one OF thoac Russians who
are half savage, half Machiavcl, he
is rather d 'Gimple mujils, o, lover OF
truth an;f'E speaker of it. .eWhc1 he
returns toSSt. Petersburg, be bids
the diplomaticy corps not to como TO
meet him. ,NYhchsuhc' presiac3 per-.
force at Il review -.he leaves the field as
soon us possible and is pleased to get
down from his horse, for he does not
like IT. 2iAt "Copenhagen his greatest
pleasure con5isted in goingb ont ina

with the lpailchtrians who pretetfia
not to rccogJsixc- kim, and in ta.sidg,h
cab. Indeed, hoi yucc amused himaef.
in very odd fashion, he: and mn his,
family taking tramcar togo into the.
country. In politics AZ in, every thing
else the ears ideas are simple. He is
not connunicatiye.,b because he does
not know ho" to develop his thoughts.
He has never spoken for FIVE con3ecu-
tive minutes in his life. When he Isl
Denmark or in the Crirnca, a3 his gov
crnmcnt accompanies hin, he dcyotcs
half an hour day to signing papers,
and that constitutes the only bust
ncss. The military attaches sec him
ut the revieivs, but there Is no possible
chance Of conversation with HIN. An
ambassador may ecc hiin yho:l ball
is given in his honor, but he can have
no conversation with him; CT he riay
see him ut ball at another asa5aasa,-
doris or Mt some small court reception,
but these occasions are rare.'

THE SPIDER AND THE FLY.
How q Yellow Jacket Prevented a Walk
IrftO tho rarior.

How q Yellow Jacket Prevented a Walk
Into tho rarior.
The act of taking n fellows part, Or
helping to defend him against an enc
my, is not confined to man. Nearly
all of the lower animals have this par
ticular instinct, says q writer in the
Philadelphia Times, but it is, / believe
an exceedingly rare occurrence to find
creature of one order pitching in,'
as the boys would say, and cxerting
his efforts in behalf of fellow crea-
ture of another order. 1t fell to my
lot not long ago to witness an act of
this kind. Outside grocery store
there stood sugar barrel, emptied of
its contents. There was one particu-
lar lily near the bottom of the outside
of the barrel, !; and right beside hir,
stood good-sized eycl,ow jacket. All
of sudden great gray spider hurried
out of his web and sped straight for the
fly. In another moment the dy was in
his grasp and a struggle began. The
fly tried SO hard to get away that he
must have attracted the attention Of
the yellow jacket, for that worthy
turned around and looked right at the
contestants. Then as quick us flash
he few into the fray himself, and the
spider found that he had two enemies
to deal with. The yellow jackctseemcd
very careful not to hurt the fly, but it
was q caution the way he put it to
the spider. At last the spider released
his hold on the fly and directed all his
efforts to subduing the yellow jacket.
Then the battle began in earnest.
Time and again the spider sunk his
fangs into the yellow jacket, and time
and again was he pierced through with
his enerny'o terrible sword, the fly al
this time buzzing over the heads of.the
two combatants. Finally the spider,
unable to withstand the tlirusts my
longer, gave up the ghost and died.
The yellow jacket stuhG him once
more and then waddlcd off with torn
wing and a wounded leg, the fly fol-
lowing him.

A Mountain of Hornstono.

Mount Kineo, which rises prccipi-
fously seven hundred feet out of the
Moosehcad lake, in Maine, is wholly
composed Of bornstone, and Is the
largest mass of that mineral in the
known world. There is no true flint
An the United States. but bor.stone so
closely resembles it that it takes an
Expert to tell the difference. This rock
'ivpplied arrow heads to Indians hun
reds and thousands of miles away
he discovery of these arrow heads in

belief that nsystem of com,nercinl.-ex-

POWER OF THE IMAGINATION.
How q Sufferer from Asthma Thought IIo
Had Secured Eresh Air.

11o" u SuHeEeT from ASLhulh 11S
Had Secured Eresh All.
An unfortunate astllmatic, compelled
to nuke q hurried journey from home,
arrived very late ut night at country
inn; where he had never put up before.
says writer in Hygiene: Completely
worn out, he partoo!s of supper and
was then shown into a huge, old-fash-
ioued bedroom, the further portion of
which was only diInly illuminated by n
miserable candle. He was not long in
throwing of his clothes, extinguis!liEg
the candle and slipping into bed. The
feeling of being in q strange place ant.
the rapid mental review OF many Incl
dents of his days journey, with the
closcness OF the heat, combined with
the late supper, brought on a walCcful,
nervous condition which induced an
attack of asthma. Gasping for breath,
he scarcelWlsnew what to do; TO get Up
and gropc about such large room il
quest of door or window by which he
could admit more air seemed beyond
his powers. All ut once he Remembered
that; at the far. end OF the
room he had noticed, while undressing,
q reflection US from glass. This he
promptly cOncluueu NiCGU nave CeCl
the window, and, scizing stick which
he had plaeeaion q. chair by the bed
side, he hurled it through the gloom.
His conjccturcs We're confirmed to his
satisfaction, for the Gathering on the
floor of the, pieces Of broken glass
showed him that he had not only
guessed as to the position of the win
dow, but had also succeeded in smasll-
ing one OF the pancs. In his imagina-
tion the air OF the room beeamc cooler
and fre5hcr, and the paroxysm of diff
cult breathing soon ceased, the result
being that he fell into % refreshing
slu,nber which lasted till morning,
Upon his awaiting he was surprised to
find the daylight streaming into the
room from Il direction exactly opposite
to that in which, overnight, he i'm
ngincd the window to be situated.
Turning to glnnce down the room, he
discovered he had smashed quantity
of glass, surely enough, but it had
formed no part of the window, as he
supposed, but the front OF glazed

The Friend compliments me ON
the fact that | have imputed no evil
motives to those whom ! criticize,
and | in turn cannot too highly
acknowledge the manly courtesy
with which the editor has borne his
share in what has been to both of us
painful controversy. know Of
nothing more contemplate in con-
troversy than the imputation of
motives to your opponents, but |
have had to bear that, as knew
should. The paltry motives of ma
/ tional jealousy, personal ambition,
"royalist" glamor-have all been
! flung at me, and | do not tremble.
! But one thing | ask, that the friends,
who have been the friends Of a life
time, will believe that it has been an
unspeakable grief to me, that my
sense OF honor and duty compelled
me to take up position which must
have given pain to them as we'll as
to myself. Every conviction tells
me that a government of law and
order cannot rest upon the basis of
the acclamations of mass meeting.
luS culhCS may PloW duu loOh ldli,
and the builders may be honest and
true-but if the foundation is rot
ten, the building can never be safe.
l ventured to warn some of my
friends last year of the mess into
which they were getting, and | will
close this letter with quotation
from another letter which you pub
lished for me dated Nov. "a. 1892.
Perhaps some of those who rebuked
me for my utterances then, may not
be unwilling now to reconsider, in
the light of their present political
condition, the warning | had the
temerity to give. said "a suspicion
of disloyalty and infdelity has
adhered around some of those who
ought to be directing Hawaiian
affairs, and they have not only lost
their own influence, but have played
into the hands of worse men, who
have at least wit enough to be loyal
When the lesson contained in those
words has been honestly accepted, |
can see some prospect of peace for
Hawaii
only ask that my friends will
not be the less my friends because l
have the courage to say an unpopular
thing, when | know it to be true.

He Wants Paw for His Sand,

Louis Feurer. an Oregonian. filed a COM
plant in the United States court yester-
day against the city Of Seattle by which
he seeks to recover $l4, 500 damages for
injury TO his property and $500 for build
ing sand taken from his land by the de-
PENDANT. In his complaint Mr.. Fsurer
alleges that he owns a number of lots in
William n. Bells seventh addition, and
that the city took possession of his prop
erty without his consent on May 1. 1891,
and retained it until November 5, 1891. 1t
is further claimed that the city con-
structed sewer through two of the lots,
but subsequently, abandoned it. At the
time the sewer was built the plaintiff
claims that he had wharf upon a part of
the property and intended to erect a brick
building upon the undermined lots, but
found them unsafe for building purposes.
The sand was taken from the property
during the time the city was in posses
sion, and its value is set at $500.
