Wanted to Brush Them OF.

Passing down a quiet street not long
since saw two beautifully dressed WON
en- approaching. They were clad in deli
cate colors, and spick and span from
head to foot. Between them and me was
q garbage wagon, and just as they came
opposite about two tons of ashes was
hoisted into it with result to the women
that was detrimental to their appearance
to a marked degree.
THAT mean old thing" said one.
II know he did it on purpose, said the
other.
my eyes are so full of ashes can't
see a thing
"And so is my mouth" said the other
But the climax was reached when the
driver of the garbage wagon accosted
them, saying:

hearts were beating beneath their dainty

One of the most curious facts given by
DR.. Parsons in his report on influenza re
lates to what is called strangers cold, y
an epidemic from which the little com
munity living at St. Kilda, in the broad
waters of the north Atlantic suffers every
time vessel from any other part of the
world arrives. Indeed, so surely does this
outbreak follow the arrival of boat that
it is called by the islanders "boat cough"
In other oceanic islands the same odd eff
fects have been observed
In an island $50 miles east of New Zea
land similar epidemic attacks both Euro
peans and Maoris on the arrival of a ship.
So regular is the occurrence that when
murrimurri, as the cold is called, appears,
the good folk are so sure that ship is in
the port that they ride straight off to the
harbor ito fetch their letters" Stran
gers cold and influenza are remarkably
alike in their symptoms.
The cause of the former is attributed to
the organisms of disease that people in
populons lands carry about with them,
and to which they themselves are Injured
If that be so, whence comes our Influenza

Once on a time many crows lived in the

sand under It, One day coyote was pass

them They were dancing in a circle, and
each crow had upon his back large bag
Crow friends, what are you doingS"
asked the coyote, who was much Interested

dance"
The coyote went running home. There
his old mother was sitting In the corner of
the fireplace. The stupid coyote picked ND
stick and struck her on the head and put
her in bag. and hurried back to the dance
with her.
The crows were dancing merrily and
singing:
"Ai mana, que-ee-rah, que. ee-rah. ("
tAlas, Manual you are shaking, you are
shakingD The coyote Joined the dance,
with the bag on his back, and sang as the
crows did:
"Ai mana, que-ee- rah, que-ee rah." TAI
mana Is an exclamation always used by
mourners.l
But at last the crows burst out laughing,
and said. What do you bring in your
bag2"
my mother, as you told me-" replied the
coyote. showing them
Then the crows emptied their bags, which
were filled with nothing but sand, and flew
up into the tree, laughing.
The coyote then saw that they had played
him trick. and started home, crying "Ai
nanap When he got home he took his
mother from the bag and tried to set her
up in the chimney corner, always crying,
All mani, why don't you sit up as befores''
But she could not, for she was dead. When
he found that she could not sit up any
more he vowed to follow the crows and
eat them all the rest of his life, and from
that day to this he has been bunting them,

A certain famous English general, the
hero of two eastern wars, found his health
beginning to give way beneath the strain
of long and arduous service, and was or
dered home by his doctors. On the day of
his embarkation for England he was &C
companied by a vast crowd of friends, to
whom he began to distribute various small
tokens of his regard.
"Well, general" asked the bishop OF
Calcutta, who was one of the party, have
you no memento to leave to an old friend
like me?'
"Oh, | have not forgotten you, my lord"
cried the general. ION the contrary,
have bequeathed to you my entire stock Of
impudence,"
"Ten thousand thanks, my dear gen
eral, replied the undaunted bishop. You
have given me by far the largest and most
valuable part of your property"
And then the bishops wife turned to her
husband and said sweetly, MY dear, | am
glad to see that you have come into your
legacy so soon. David Ker in Harper's.

The Corean Umbrella.

The desideratum at present is a portable
umbrella. There is fortune for the man
who inyents a really good umbrella which
can be slowed in a valise or trunk. There
is an unpatented Corean umbrella that
may fill the bill. When it begins to rain
the picturesque and stately Corean swell
reaches into his sleeve and produces
folded, oiled paper affair resembling fan.
This is spread and set over the hat like an
sxtinguisher, and is kept in place by two
strings held under the chin. 1t is not very
large, bat anything that will cover Co
rean hat will keep the rain from Corean.

THE VOTE IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

The vote in the state of South Dakota
this year is the lishtest in the history Of
the state. 1t falls under 1000, of which,
according to the returns claimed to be
correct, the republicans poll nearly 20, 600,
the populisls nearly $4,000 and the demo-
Gratis almost 5000. There is nothing IN
the figures to warrant the high growing
of the republicans. The vote is little
more than half a full vote of the state.
There was no excitement, nothing to
call out IL vote 1t had been heralded by
all parties that the election OF Judges
should be non partisan. This had been
especially taught by the indedendents,
and had taken deep root in the counsels
of the party, 50 that no enthusiasm could
be awakened. The light vote naturally
effected the farmer vote more than amy
other, and it is the farmer vote that is
the strength of the independent cause.
The towns aud villages voted little short
Of their usual strength, while the farmer
was busy in his field, preparing the
ground for another crop OF 4UcenJ wheat.
Tho populist loss, Notwithstanding
this is iufnltesmally small Last years
vote showed that for every eighty repub-
lican votes cast there were fifty-six indie
pendent votes cast, while this year for
every eighty republican votes cast the
independents polled ffty-one. In year
when the towns and villages did the
voting this is a remarkably good show
ing. If IN it the party ia power sees
great cause to whoop and tear their
throats, there should be ns objection on
the part of the independents.
In the contest for circuit judges, the
independents carried the Eighth district,
electing Judge Plowman by u majority
of 6S They came within 81 votes of
defeating Judge Gardner in the Rapid
City district. and but :or the rawliver
eating republicans Of the Sisseton agency
they would have elected Bouck in the
Third district. These intelligent blanket
bucks were marched to the polls under
agency orders and were voted like cattle,
some 300 of them and the country was
saved!
The vote from the Hills shows that the
republicans were badly worsted, and the
Spartan herosm Of the independents who
dare TO down monopoly in it's stronghold
is sure to find II hearty response in the
Voice OF 1894 east of the Missouri The
scandal Of The present South Daketa ad-
ministration and the corruption of the
last legislature, will be set to music and
sung in every school house in the state.
All that is necessary is to make the facts
known; the voters will do the rest.-
