TINELA'S REVENGE.
A Noted Traveller Tells Of Scenes
in That Dark Land.

Alone in dark corner of his tent,
toying with the beads of his rosary, sat
Osmani ibn Seyf His swarthy Arab
face was lined and careworn and his
eyes were downcast in thoughtful
mood.
For six weeks this famous slave
raider had led his caravan of Mauycma
marauders and captivcs through the
dismal depths of the great African for
est in search OF human prey. Day by
day they had trudged through thorny
underground. beneath the impcnctra-
BILE canopy of primeval trees; and each
night they had slept. hungry, upon the
sodded ground, in the Initiated atmos-
pierre of decaying vegetation.
The region that they had travcrsed
was uninhabited.
That afternoon Manycma follower
had been wounded by wooden spear,
adroitly concealed in the bushes, by
the side of n wcll-worn elephant track.
Here at last was an evidence of man
The caravan had halted, formed an
effective Zcreba, and Osmani had dis
patched scouts to survey the vicinity.
"iiodi!' cried a voice from without
Osmani started from his reverie, and
instinctivcly reached towards the load
ed rifle by his side
'Karibr'
curtain was drawn aside, reveal
ing the figure of an armed negro.
'Ah! Khalifan."
'Salaam Bwana!" the negro crossed
his hands upon his breast and bowed
"Khabari gani? Speak, what news?"
Good news" replied the negro
i'm ft,l nf n,-xrit,
"the scouts have returned"
Vienna! And what have they found?"
In a few words the negro explained
that the scouts had discovered traces
of Il large native village, situate about
two hours march to the eastward of
their encampment.
Osmani's face instantly lightened.
1T is WE'LL" said he. 1.-The sun is now
setting. Two hours before the dawn
we march upon that village. Tonight,
no fires, no noise. 'Sikia?"
Our masters words are law"
"Haya! May Allah preserve us!'
and Osmani waved his hand in token of
dismissal.
With profound salaam, the negro
withdrew. Sentinels were posted,
and soon the camp was wrapped in
Slumber
The night air grew cold. A storm
swept over tho forest. The rain fill

gcther in groups.
It was Still dark and cherries when
Osnani emerged from his tent.
"Similla! Similla! Make way, there,
for Bwana Osmani!"
Silent and sullen the Manycma ma
rauders arose, stretched their stiffencd
limbs and buci!lcd their ammunition
belts around their waists. Each man
rolled strip of dirty white cotton
cloth around his head, turban wise, TO
serve as a discriminating mark in the
coming fray with the naked savages.

Holiday Charities.

Baltimore American, do not allow
your charity to stop with Christmas
Day.
Philadelphia Record.-It is time to
put away old grudges and give away
old clothes.
Chicago Tribune.-A million for
charity, but not CENTS worth of soup
for voluntary idleness.
Chicago Times.-Christmas charity
is sort of income tax which everybody
should be willing to pay.
Detroit Free Press. There are few
handsomer presents for poor friend
this year than a ton of coal.
Baltimore American.-The practical
philanthropist has an opportunity just
now to discriminate between the needy
poor and the impostors.
Boston Herald. This is not exactly
the time Of the year for landlords to
evict tenants for non-payment of rent.
They had better go slow in this busi-
ness just at present.
Chicago News.-Usually those who
need help the most are the last to ask
for it, and SO their necessities are not
often disclosed until it is too late. The
charitable public should bear the fact
in mind and seek in all ways possible
to reach the real sufferers.

old-Fashioned Tea Parties.

The ''tea-parties'' of our grand
mothers day are coming into favor,
writes Mrs. Van Koert Schuyler in the
January Ladies' Home Journal. The
table is set with old-fashioned simpli-
city. and lighted by candles in silver
"branches," as the candlesticks in
those faraway days were called. The
china is white and gold, and the linen
of the very finest. Plates Of thin
bread and butter ''spread on the Loaf, !"
cold ham and tongue. grated cheese,
fruit cake, pound cake, crullers and
jumbles, with ''Damson preserves"
and ''short-cake" known to moderns as
soda-biscuit), concluding with hot
wafies, furnishes fac-simile tea-table
of sixty or seventy years ago. There
is certain old-fashioned fragrance
about such informal meetings, like the
perfume that exhales from a jar Of
roses, whose sweetness still fingers,
though the day of their blooming is
long since past.

She skirmished wildly through her

It was from the little New England
village. 1t was full of shining leaves
and glistening berries. She put it in
a great bowl and placed it on a table,
where it lowered over the marble head
from Greece.
"What marvellous thing that head
is" murmured Josephine's mamma.
mot SO wonderful, think, as thu
holly" replied Josephine, airily.
And then she went upstairs and de-
liberately assured herself that gift Of
green leaves and red berries, accom-
panied by heart, was much more to

forever her claim to be considered a

MRS. cLEvELAND.s COUSIN.

She Was Brigham Young's Early2Love
and Favorite Wife.
Mrs. Cleveland has cousin, ol
rather second cousin, who lives
quietly in Salt Lake City, and is one OF
the numerous widows of the lamented
Brigham Young. She was Amelia
Folsom, daughter of Mrs. Cleveland's Is
great-uncle, Robert, and Brigham
Young first fell in love with her when
be was on his fathers farm, near
Palmyra, N. Y. Amelia smiled upon
him, but Amelia's father played the
traditional Part of the stern parent and
bade the farmers son begone.
Brigham departed and did various
sorts of work until he joined the Nor
mon Church and became power in it.
When in 1S40 he was sent to England
as missionary be stopped on the way
to see Amelia and renew his proposal
But Miss Folsom IS parents were natur-
ally as much averse to Mr.. Young as
ever, and he was sent off again. When
he returned to the United States and
began his triumphant career in the
Mormon Church he seemed to forget
his early love. But when he had OBJ
tanned dozen or so of his celebrated
collection of wives he again bethought
him of Amelia Folsom and went back
to New York to ask her to marry him.
Her father was dead and she accepted
him. She returned with him to Utah,
became his favorite wife, lived in the
house known as "Amelia's Palace"
and she still lives in Salt Lake City in
. small adobe house. She is over
seventy years old, still retaining traces
Of her early beauty.
And it is an interesting question
Mormcnism would hgve
gained its powerful advocate and dis
,iple if Mrs. Cleveland's great-uncle
mad not proved so obstinate in the
