Indian Hospitality.

When Mrs. Jackson was pursuing
her Investigations among the mission
Indians of southern California she was
invited to pass the night at the Pot
rero-a mountain meadow or pasture
high up the mountain side, and
reached by an almost impossible road.
The Indian woman who gave her the
invitation assured her timidly that
they had plenty of beds and would do
all they knew how to do to make her
and her companion comfortable. How
well this promise was fulfilled may be
gathered from Mrs. Jackson's narra-
tive.
One might be in many dear-priced
hotel less comfortably lodged and
served than we were by these hospita-
BILE Indians in their mud house, foored
with earth.
In my bedroom were three beds, all
neatly made. with lace-trimmed sheets
and pillow-cases and patchwork cover
lids. AS fell asleep I wondered if in
the morning / should see Indian heads
on the pillows opposite me. The
whole place was swarming with men,
possible for them to spare so many
UOQS" Dub uOg WI L WdhOO pAOA 2
were the beds still undisturbed.
A soft-eyed Indian girl was on her
knees rummaging in one of the trunks.
Seeing me awake she murmured few
words in Indian which conveyed her
apology as well as if | had understood
them. From the very bottom of the
trunk she drew out a gilt-edged mug,
darted out of the room end came back
bringing it filed with fresh water. As
she set It in the chair, in which she
had already put tin pan OF water
and clean, coarse towel, she smiled
and made sign that it was for my
teeth.
The food which they gave us was a
SURPRISE; it was far better than we had
found the night before at the house OF
an Austrian colonel's son at Pala.
Chicken, deliciously cooked, with
rice and chile; soda biscuits delicately
made, good milk and butter, all laid
in orderly fashion, with clean table
cloth and clean white stone china.
When said to my hostess that re-
gretted very much that they had giver
up their beds in my room, she an
swered me with wave of her han6
that sit was nothing; they hoped hae
slept well; that they had plenty o.
other beds"
The hospitable lie did not deceiv,
me, for by examination l had con
vinced myself that the greater part o
the family must have slept on thu
bare earth in the kitchen.
We left there at o'clock in th'
morning. One of the men, the "cap
tain," rode off with us to see us saf
on our way. When we had passed tn
worst gullies and powders he whirlet
his horse, lifted his ragged sombrer
with the grace of a cavalier, smiled
wished US good day and good lucl
and was out of sight in second, hi
little wild pony galloping up ths~rougl
trail as if it were race-course.

Stupid in Her.

They spoke at greater or less length
upon politics, religion, weather, mill
linery, gloves, neckties, skating, the
drama, society, dancing, the public
schools, the church and its mission,
the probability of continuance of
sleighing, the difficulty of getting hired
girls, the supply of natural gas, and
other topics of minor importance. Still
he fingered. Instinct told him that
the old man was yet awake, but he set
the danger at naught and stayed.
There was another subject which he
wished to breach. "My dear friend
~ 1t seemed a very cold and dis
tant form of address, but he had pre-
viously decided it was the best under
the circumstances. 81 wish to speak
-to-you of something very near to
my heart" "Why--" As she stared
at him the perplexity in her face sud-
denly gave away to intelligence. "Oh,
yes; 1 know. your lungs. How are
they, anyway? How stupid in me not
to ask" He never knew what he MUIR
INJURED in reply. When he recovered
complete consciousness he was walk
ing home, and the crisp snow was
crushing noisily under his feet.-- Gin

Business Enterprise.

"Talk about business enterprise"
said Frank L. Perley. away back in
'85 we had young fellow with US who
was getting SIS and his board. The
night Jumbo was killed in St. Thomas
this boy developed himself. We were
all sympathizing with poor old Jumbo
and wondering how we could replace
him. The youngster was thinking of
something else. You know the tail of
an elephant has at the very tip bunch
of thick hair, very much like brush.
This boy got under the fence and had
pulled every hair out of Jumb bo's tail.
His business at the circus was to sell
balloons to children. Well, there were
seventy-six of those thick hairs. and at
the show the next afternoon he was
selling them for one dollar apiece as
relics of the great giant. He sold
seventy-five of them and practically
found $75. The other one he kept for
himself and still wears it as his
mascot. "-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

CARPET
1t
ABSOLUTE
COST.

We find we have much too large
stock of Carpets to carry over. In Or
der to reduce it, we have decided to
make horizontal reduction " that
will move them at once.
We are not prone to indulgence in
sensational head lines or extravagant
boasting, but " at this time and place"
positively assert that we shall place
lower prices on Carpets than they were
ever before sold for in Portage County
"a bona fide cost basis.
ssThere is reason in all things" and
our reason for this sacrifice in price is
that we want the room for our Fall
stock.
Now is your opportunity. You will
scarcely have another such an one in
life time to buy elegant Floor Cover
ings untainted with profit to the seller,
1t will pay you to anticipate your
purchases in the line of Carpets.
We mention in particular our large
aud superb stock of Body and Tapes
try Brussels. The prices we have
marked on them will meet your ap.
proVal, and cause you to willingly part
with your bottom dollar, if needs be,
in a Carpet investment. Just think
of it: An elegant Brussels Carpet at
but trihe more cost than an Ingram.
Our MOquettes, Art Squares, Rugs,
Mattings, Oil Cloths and LinOleums
are all dumped in the cost hopper.
These prices necessitate strictly cash
sales. Respectfully,

Life in Hawaii.

OF the people of these islands it can
be truly SAID that they are the most
amiable, careless, irresponsible people
in the world. The nearest approach
to work of any of them is in their en-
ployment as cowboys on the stock
ranches. They are wonderfully ex-
pert horsemen and also become adept
in the use of the lasso. A native man,
or a native woman for that matter, is
never so happy as when on spirited
horse, going at hand gallop, deeked
out with fiowery leis and streamers of
bright colored cloth, in screaming
conversation with a whole troop of
companions. They ride their horses
to death, they kill their babies with
neglect and improper food, and yet it
cannot be said that there is grain of
conscious cruelty in their nature.
They are icentious and sensual to an
unparalleled degree-in fact, the most
promiscuous and unbridled intercourse
is the universal rule among them. Yet
there is no record of any violence ever
done by them to a woman. A white
woman is absolutely safe among them
without any protection, and is exempt
from insult or even disrespect, beyond
what may come from an unconscious
usage of etiquette. Many of them
pass the greater part of their lives
squatted on woven grass mats before
the doors of their huts, chattering in
consequentially and eating their meal
of fox when the inclination comes to
them Washington Star.

Choosing a Husband.

But what rubbish is all this talk of
"best possible husbands" A girl
takes the man who offers, if he APP
pears to be upright, honorable and in
earnest. If she does not, she runs the
risk of going to seed, with a red nose,
a canary bird and lap dog. The
chief trouble with her is not to knew
whether she has got the best article in
the market. but whether the man who
SAYS he loves her means what he says.
1t is easy for Il man to acquire the art
of lovemaking, and with little prac-
tice some men can do it quite skillful-
ly. How to know when they are act
ing, and when they are obeying an IT.
resistible and ungovernable impulse is
the thing a girl wants to be able TO de-
termine. Better learn that than make
herself connoisseur in men. A wo-
mans happiness is to large degree
dependent on the quality of him to
whom she has given herself, body, soul
and heart; but, if he really loves her,
she can mould him to her will. Then,
considering that all women believe
they know how to manage husband,
she can make good husband out of
him. for he will be like clay in the
hands of the potter.-ArgonGut

A Successful Book Agent.

: Book agents, like poets and artists,
must be born. They cannot be made.
A good address, tact, brilliant CONVEX
sational powers and both veracity and
unyeracity are the inborn elements
necessary for the successful book can
vasser. That the fascinating and suave
manner of the average professional
book agent is irresistible is proved by
the fact that there is hardly a person
in the United States who, at some time
or other, has not subscribed for a book
that he did not want.
Some years ago one of these aeepts
visited small hamlet in the state of
Michigan, selling "The Royal Pa'ah of
Life" He had just nine books in his
valise and he was determine4. to sell
all of them that day. The first man
he approached was prominent in the
church.
You had better call Vp at the house
and see my wife, for she buys all the
BOOKS" said the man.. ,eood-naturedly.
But, with the customary pertinacity
OF the guild, the agent made a sale.
HIS success continued until about 8
o'clock IN the afternoon; he had sold
seven copies of his book. He was
anxious to get away and determined
TO sen the Remaining two copies, SC he
called on the wife of his first customer
and tlrst being careful to ascertain
that her husband had not been home
since morning he sold her one of his
books.
When the husband came home he
gave his wife parcel, saving:
There; one of those confounded
book agents talked me into buying that
book @->'
"What" exclaimed his wife, ga bookP
Why, bought one, too"
When they compared notes thev
found that they were well supplied
with "The Royal Path of Life"
The man was furious, and while he
was putting on his boots to go down
10 the station to get square with that
"Vlllalnous agent" neighbor rode by
and the irate man shouted to him to
detain that book-agent at the station,
as he wished particularly to see him.
When the neighbor reached the sta,
ton the train was in sight
MY friend, Mr. -. wishes yery
much to see you before you leave
town." he shouted.
"Oh, yes!" said the agent blandlF
"he wants one Of my books and haTe
just one left"
"How much is itp" said the man
hurriedly, for the train was at hand
1.-TWO dollars"
Here's your money"
The train moved off, carrying tht
book-agent, just as the excited chure q
member, in hot haste, came in sigbt i
His anger at the lab est imposition M j,

Convinced by an Oriental Adept.

Convinced by an Oriental Adept.
"The stories of the remarkable power
of the oriental adopts to bury them
selves for months have not been exag-
gerated in the least" said Archibald
G. Lewellyn, a Britonian, whose ruddy
tan and sturdy frame bespoke the ex-
posure and trials of many lands.
"When / first went to India some
years ago, like every other white man
l was absolutely incredulous as to the
ability of any man on earth to be her.
metically sealed in a box and buried
underground for six months, or six
hours, for that matter.
zone day my dhinga told me of a
fakir who had just come into the little
village, who, he said, could perform
the feat. After a great deal of cere-
mony and by dint of liberal bribe we
set about to bury the yellow-skinned
old rascal. He was not very lovable
object, and would have about as lit
tie trouble on my conscience in killing
him as any human being l ever saw,
but felt like an accessory to mur-
der as we lowered him into a trench
in my garden and heard the plunk OF
the earth upon his coffin. He was
swathed in bandages from head to
foot. He had drawn himself up into a
ball, had rolled back his tongue into
his throat, stuffed his ears and nos
trils with soft wadding, and was ap-
parently dead ten minutes after he be-
gan his final preparations.
81 put white guard over that grave
night and day for six months. At the
end of shat time, as agreed, the natives
gathered together and l sent for the
officers of our mess and we dug him
up. If I had seen Moses resurreeted,
if julius Caesar were to walk down
Pennsylvania avenue, would not be
more astonished than l was when
saw that fakir. He was covered with
mould, and, while perfectly inanimate
had not decayed.
"In about three hours he had fully
recovered and was chanting the praises
of Buddha. ~ Washington Nea0s.
