He Went to Scof.

A rural New Jersey member who
had announced in the House that the
wants and sufferings of the insane of
the State "were all humbug," went to
her parlor to silence her with his argu-
ments, but was constrained by her
gentle force to listen to hers. At the
end of an hour and half he moved
into the middle of the room. and thus
delivered himself: "Ma'am, / bid you
good night. | do not want, for my
part, to hear anything more; the 9TH
ers can stay if they want to, ara con-
Utnced;; you've conquered me out and
out; l shall vote for the hospital II
you'll come to the House and talk
there as you've done here, no man
that isn't brute can stand you; and
SO, when 4 mans convinced, that's
enough. The Lord bless you!" There

Wicked Jennie

The Gslesburg Mail tells the following
story. which is of local interest:
1t seems that the woman Jennie Dean
who came here from Rock Island. and
who was arrested. being charged with
robbing a Swede man of $40, has a bad
record. When she came TO this city three
weeks ago she called on the police and
said she vas looking for a man inst she
wanted TO have arrested for breach of
promise. SO far as known she never
found the man. but has put in the greater
psrL of her time since in hanging around
saloons and doing up" any unsuspec,ing
man that might come Ter way. II is said
that she was in one of the Mikado rooms
back of the Prairie street saloon tie 9TH
er day when q certain Galesbarger and
friend from Davenport came in The
Davenport man had large roll ofn.one Y,
and in displaying it the gay Jennie got
glimpse of 1t She did not know
that the Galesburg and Daven-
port men were friends, and SO proposed
to The former that they roll" the D4v-
export man for his money. She said
she had simple scheme that would
work 20 perfection. She would 90 out
to drug store ard get five cents worth
Of some kind cf a drug and that this
would be put in a glass OF beer and
given to the man. She would then do
the rest and would divide the cash with
the Galesburger. The latter did not
take kindly TO the scheme and berated
Jennie in loud terms for wanting TO do
uD his friend She then said she was
fooling, aud offered to set up the cigars
II seems that this fac came to the know
ledge of the authorities yesterday and
they proposed to bring up the man who
runs the saloon and the Gslesburg man
as witnesses in the case against the
woman. tu' when they went for the wits
nesses the ssloonkeeper jumped into his
cutter and made up one OF the back
streets. while the Galesburger took leg

DIGGER INDIAN LEGEND,
The Hldeous Little Red Man" Lives In
Cave and Sends Sickness.

Many long years ago the captain of
the Famblo tribe of the Digger Indian.
lay very sick in his wickiup. In vain
did the medicine man brew his herbs,
apply his lamentations, beat his TOM
tom and make his rattle. The fever
could not be checked, and the old man
steadily sank. All the tribe mourned,
and there was much feasting and self
torture, but the bad spirit that had
sent the fever could not be appeased,
says the San Francisco Chronicle.
One night the captains youngest
daughter had dream; there appeared
to her the Little Red Man." Tho told
her that he was the bad spirit who had
sent the fever, but that if she would
follow him he would give her an herb
which, when stepped in water, would
heal the sick. She arose and followed
him, and after great many hours of
tramping across the hills and valleys
they came to mighty gorge where
the wonderful fever plant" grew,
The Little Red Man" plucked the
herbs from the rocks. gave them to her
and told her to hasten back to her ia
Their.
1t was only a dream, but the Girl
could not forget it, and the next day
she left the camp and endeavored to
find the gorge where grew the healing
herbs. For several days she sought in
vain, and as she was about to return
she heard voice whisper Follow"
and saw the footprints of man form
ing in the sand before her. She
obeyed the voice and followed. and
her invisible guide led her to the gorge
where grew the healing herbs. She
put forth her hand TO pluck them,
when voice cried "Stopl" and the
Little Red man stood before her.
you must not touch the herbs now"
he said, but follow me. This is the
second time you have seen me. Now
you shall see the home of the bad
spirit. Follow"
Again she followed. for she feared
the Little Red man and was anxious to
please him. They entered the gloomy
gorge, where all was as silent as death;
where the birds and bees and flowers
were OF stone, and came to mighty
cavern, the walls and roof of which
were covered with glittering crystals
that flashed forth all the colors of the
rainbow. In one corner of this lonely
cavern was little spring that sparkled
and sang with enhancing melody.
The Little Red Man turned 10 her and
said:
This is the home of the bad spirit
that sent the fever to your father. Il
an he. can save your fathers life,
but you must promise that when YOU
have taken the herbs to him you will
return to me, drink of the singing
spring, and remain with me forever"
But the captains daughter was
frightened. The Little Red Man was
old and hideous and very, very bad
spirit. She fed from him and re-
turned to her home, and as she en-
tered her fathers tepee the old cap
tain turned his face to the wall and
died. And unto this day the Diggers
believe that the Little Red Man lives
in a wonderful cavern somewhere in
the coast range, and sends sickness
upon them because the captains
daughter would not drink of the sing
ing spring and remain with him for
ever.

time the fiel3 for nomination seemed to
be in undisputed possession OF the mayor

Love For the ZigZag.

The straight line is al aEomination
to the Chinese. They endeavor to
avoid it In their streets and buildings
and have banished it completely where
country field paths are concerned.
They Will always substitute a curve

it into a ziGzag.
In districts not devastated by the Tai
Pings nor subject TO the influence Of
the foreigner. the houses and temples
are characterized by curved, often
peaked. roofs. ornamcUted with fantas-
tic notifications of the myriad stroke

gions are soon found to have a mental
world TO correspond. The straight line
is secuted. They think in curves and
~zigzaCS. To the Chinese mind the
straight line is suggestive of death and
demons. 1t belongs not TO the heaven
above nor 10 the earth beneath. In a
true horizon line are seen the "undula-
