A Convenient Brother.

1t is serious offence for German
soldier to appear in public except in
uniform. Even when he is on furlough
he must always wear it.
A certain Lieut.. Schmidt, who was
engaged in some adventure or other
dressed up as q civilian, was having a
fine time of it, when on turning a cor
ner he unexpectedly met his colonel,
Lieutenant Schmidt, however, did not
lose his presence of mind, but in u
changed voice inquired
"Can you tell me, sir, where Lieuten-
ant Schmidt lives? I am his brother
from the country, and am paying him
visit"
The colonel gave the desired infor.
nation, and Lieutenant Schmidt hur-
ried home and got into uniform as soon
as possible. He thought he had de-
ceiyed his superior officer, but next day
when he met the colonel the latter said:
Lieutenant Schmidt, if your brother
from the country pays you another
visit, I'll have him placed in close con-
finement for thirty days"

Thomas" said Mrs. Brown Jonas,
"I-er-think you ought to have few

Mr.. Jones, you know I regard the

jest, my dear ? If paying seven

Il think that q few ancestral portraits
would be delightful.
But our families are not limited ;
your mother was Smith, and mine re-

the late census shows
Thomas, this is actually sacrilegious.
Our ancestry is noble, proud one

Il am not connoisseur, my love,
but, Judging by appearances, I should
say that my grandfather must have had
a hand in it at the age of four. Time

Then it is not worth much as a por-

Il might, my love, but I rarely do. "

I'VE can get the picture, but as to

THE LIGHTHOUSE.

Oft shall heavens sentries sleeE
Lodged in cloudy donjon-keep;
Dark or bright yon starry host.
Still the Hesper of our coast
Watches over weltering miles
Set with treacherous reefy isles.
When the seaman on black nights
Has no cheer from heavens lights,
He unbalanced shall heed this ray
Constant thrown upon his way.
Earthly hands the beacon trim,
But it shall not fail to him.
What, if sailing from afar
Without grace of moon or star,
lat length withdraw mine ewes
From the masked, unmoved skies,
Turning from the blank above
Towards the star of Human Love-
All the light the night vouchsafes
To the wild seas driven waits!

was presided over by Lin Bush.
He attempted to prevent the entrance
of The females, but they were not to be
stopped by trites. Bush was tossed to

HELEN M'GRATH's BODY.
1t Is Not Yet Found in the Ruins
of Jefferson's House.


BUZZARD's BAY, Mass, April 2.-The
scene of yesterdays fatal fire was Wis.,
tied by hundreds of people today, and
the shores OF Buttermilk bay, in the
vicinity of Crows Nest, presented an
animated appearance. The guard had
lively time at midnight, when the
wind suddenly changed to the east and
blew a gale. The sparks were blown
into the pine woods and were
eXtinguiShed with much diff
Guilty. Early this morning a
search was instituted for the body of
Helen McGrath. The debris was care
fully removed and the search continued
all day, but no trace of the missing
woman was found. 1t is the general
opinion that the unfortunate woman
was instantly killed by the force of the
explosion, and that as the cellar floor
was covered with gasoline, she was cre-
mated. But the finding of the bones Of
dog at noon aroused hope that the
WOman'S remains might YET be found.
Miss Collinson, the maid, is the most
seriously burned of the survivors. She
was thrown down by the force Of the
explosion, and was frightfully burned
about the face, arms and hands. Her
was resting ae comfortably as could be
expected. Clarence Whipple, an enl-
ploye, was also terribly burned OH the
face, arms and hands, and, as he COM
plains Of severe pains in the chest, it is
feared that he inhaled some of the
flames and is internally injured.
Frank Ashport, another employe, was
in the cellar at the time of the eXplO-
sion, and is also suffering from severe
burns on his face and hands. Whipple
and Ashport, although suffering intense
pain, herOically endeavored to save
Miss McGrath from the fiery furnace.
Miss Symons was not severely burned
as the others, and has been with Mrs,
jefferson at Mr.. Bassett's.

COMING TO A HEAD.

PARIS, Tex, April 2.-The more the
action of the Choctaw militia is looked
into, the worse it appears. Something
new is cropping out every day. When
Judge Gibbons, United States commits
Sioner at AntlerS, went to the military
camp last Sunday and asked them 10
give him a list of the parties wanted,
they furnished him with the following
names: Willis Jones, Albert Jackson,
TorbsOn Hamison, Andrew Williams,
Isaac. Reuben, Morris Bond. Gal ThCmaS,
Crawford Nail, Sam Holdfeld. Cyrus
Aaron, CephaS Williams, Elias Lomond.
These they claimed to have process for.
Tuesday. when pressed to name those
for whom they had writS by Commits
sioner kirkpatrick and Assistant United
States District Attorney Lee, they said
they only had writ for Willis Jones,
but they wanted Albert Jackson. whom
they claimed had taken Jones from the
light hOrSemen. Just before attacking
Locke's house they were assured by
several that Locke had not seen Jones
IN two months and knew nothing of his
whereabouts. Albert Jackson and his
friends deny that he took Jones
from the light horse. They say Jones
made his escape and went to Jackson's
house, who broke the shackles off him.
Another rather strange thing is that
on Tuesday morning Elias Loving, who
was 10 have been shot at PaShmatoha
court ground for the murder of Grany
COvatt, whom he suspected of being a
witch, on March 10, vino was reprieved
by Gov. Jones, went 10 LOcke'S camp
and asked TO be armed and join his
forces. He told Locke that he had been
with the militia, but quit them and
wanted to fight for Locke. He
was sent away, as he was regarded
other thing is known beyond a shadow
of doubt-Milt Lowe, young white
man and nOn-citiZen, who was working
for Locke plowing, heard the (iring and
went to the house and started to take
the children to an clubhouse for safety.
They fired at him eight times, he says,
and the physical facts corroborate his
statement. That they fired a number of
shots at Commissioner Gibbons, who
went to Locke's house during the bat
tle,ls not doubted by any person who has
visited the scene and saw the places
where he stood on the lower story. The
number Of bullet holes in the lower
story show that they were not intended
for Locke or any Of his men, who were
all up stairs. Bullet holes in the fence
they were not intended for Locke's
house, as these things were done by
men not in authority, and against the
orders of the captain. They made no
demand OIL Locke for any one when
they charged on his house. When their
captain searched the house he said
there was no one there that he
wanted. 1t Is now known that
Dukes was informed just be-
fore ne charged the house
that Locke was ut home alone and was
told that then was the time to get him.
Agent Bennett yesterday took Ben
Springs commission from him as In
dian policeman for participating in the
attack on Locke's house. Agent Ben
net has just left GoOdland bearing prop
ositions for settlement to be submitted
to Locke. The matter will come to
head tomorrow.
