But horrors what was this peculiar
and most disagreeable odor? What
had happened? The doctor, more
courageous than the others, advanced
to the side of his pet and carefully
raised the cloth. He quickly dropped
it again and hurriedly left the room,
locking the door behind him.
That night two men came steathily
under cover Of the darkness and the
baby was removed to its last resting
place under the sod in spot far re-
moved from the city's center,
The doctors friends have never
ceased to joke him on his elephantine
experience, and the doctor himself
has never ceased to swear little
when he thinks Of the clcphantine
bills he had to pay, which were as
follows:
To,ruckster and his mate Pete for haul
ing (when demonstrating with the man
said It was not his business to be

Il Was Dead Economy.

An excursion from Birmingham to
Montgomery the other day, says the
Birmingham Agc-Herald. A negro
man appeared at the ticket office in
the depot and purchased ticket for
himself. Then he said to the agent
"Boss, | want mother round triI
ticket for Il corpse"
The agent opened his eyes in as
tonishment. An excursion ticket fol
q corpse was something new to him
even with his varied experience.
The negro explained "Y0u see
boss, my brudder died yesterday ant
want to take the corpse down tt
Montgomery to let the family view
the mains, and den bring 'em back t,
Birmingham aud bury em. Di
will be heap cheaper den fur de fam
| lily to come up here"
The agent saw at once that thi
was a stroke of economy and enter
prise on the part of the c0lorcd man
There were probably dozen mem
bers Of the family and ticket 70
them 10 Birmingham and board whil
here would be quite expensive. Th
corpse could get the benefit of the eA
cursion rates to Montgomery an
would pay no board while there. Thu
the colored man subseryed the ends 6
economy and preserved his respect ft
the grief Of his family at the sam
timc.

Sam Scores the Senate.

Rev. Sam Jones, who has of late
been bombarding the distillers up in
Tennessee, in a letter to the Atlanta
Journal, has the following character
istic criticism of the United States
Senate:
sec the Senate is still yaporizing
and delaying. Now the papers talk of
gold shipment to Europe, and things
do not look as lovely as they did a
week ago-and the worst may not be
over. ...
read with interest Mr.. Cleyeland's
letter to Governor Morthen. 1t seems
that he has ceased to argue and has
begun to pray. It's time to dissolve
Parliament.

What II Free Coinage.

Among vast number of inquiries
bearing on the silver question, the
Courier-Journal has received the fol-
lowing;
"Wcre the President and his sccrc-
tary to coin silver bullion as contem-
plated by tho Sherman act, and pay
it out to redeem the certificates, would
not that be practical free coinage OF
the American product.
Along with this we have on our Ia
bic a number of questions asking u
definition Of free coinage, and wheth-
or free coinage und unlimited coinage
mcau the same thing. We take these
inquiries to mean that there is some
confusion in the peoples minds on
these points, and will endeayor to
make the matter plain.
Strickly speaking, free coinage aud
unlimited coinage are different. Free
coinage, in its proper meaning, sim.
ply implies that there shall De no
charge for the work done at the mint
in converting the bullion into coin.
Unlimited coinage means that there
shall be no limit imposed by law as
to the quantity coined. But what the
extreme silver men want is free and
unlimited coinage Of silver for pri.
yate at the ratio Of IS to l." In cur
rent discussion it is not usual to en-.
ploy the whole Of this formla. 1t Is
usually shortened into free coinage,
which for conyicncc is made to stand
for the whole phrase,
In practice what Is called free coin
age is to permit the owner Of 37ll
graius silver bullion, worth on tn,
market last Saturday o6a cents, t
take 1t to mint and get dollar TO

ROMANCE OF THE STORM.
New Orleans Picayure.


New Orleans Picsyune.
Great disasters like that which
overlook the Chcnere island and
swept away so many OF its ill-fatc1
inhabitants, like all disasters, have
their romance about them. A Plea
yune reporter on the island Saturday
heard a very sad story from the pcO-
pic.
Amile Delgrante, the son OF Romeo
Delgrante, was a young fisherman,
twenty-one years old. He was ener-
getic, a hard worker, a close flnancier
and had accumulated considerable
money selling oysters and fish. He
owned his lugger, itself representing
several hundred dollars savings, and
he had house of his own. He had
brought the lumber with which 1t had
been built from New Orleans, taking
up a load on his return trips from sell
ing oysters. In this way he had built
his own house, and covered it with
palmetto found on the island. His
house was completed several weeks
ago.
Day after day would the young man
work about the house. repairing tho
fence or beautifying the yards. A few
days before the storm A mile returned
from New Orleans with new suit
of clothes and his friends join
ed hlm in his trusty lugger. Out
they sailed across the waters for
Chandelier islands, where lived Regi-
ma, whom Amile loved She was Il
tlsherman's daughter, and Amile had
) met her on the lake while their
fathers boats were fishing side by
! side. He loved her, and she promis-
ed to marry him. This was why he
) luilt the house. This was why he
and his companions were on the Che
t neirc island.
The young persons were made man
) and wife. A day or two were spent
) in festivities. The happy couple Sun
, day morning boarded their lugger and
{ sailed across the waters to the new
home Amile had prepared for them.

1t sounds paradoxical TO say that
vows Of friendship and brotherhood
mean covert declarations Of war and
portents Of battle, murder, and sud-

KICKED INTO A FORTUNE.

Maj. Jones, the Lake Valley { N
NJ. mining expert, was talkin
aboat Tom Powers the other night
He said Powers was the laskiss
man on earth, because he va
kicked into q fortune.
How did is happeH? Old Sam
Toms big brown aule, did th'
kicking, and the Noondsy mine i
the fortune he kicked him ists
Any man without Powers lscl
would have bssH kicked into king
dom come instead OF the riches
diggings in the territories. HI
was frsighting from Lake Valley
to the mining cxmps in the Black
range and was lucky il he csulc
keep at work. He WAS about al
slsmsy IS they mako men and
never made trip without being
kicked, bitten or troddsn ON by bis
teana. One nuls in the striag, Old
Sam, was a regular devil; the brute
knew that Tom was afraid OF HIM
and never missed a chance to bite
or kick at him. One day in the
latter part OF September, 1897, Tom
started from Lake Valley with \
heavy load bound to John Burks's
camp. The distance was eighty
milss. and part OF the way the
road was hardly more than a trail
along the side Of the mountains.
Half dozen good tssnasters had
refused tho contract, but Tom took
i, because ths price offered was
more than double what he cosld
obtaiA on any other roHts. Bets
were freely made that the outfit
would 60 aver the grade, but Tom
succeeded in gsttin. over sixty
miles OF read without single
hitch. Then hs was at tie Hog
back, a narrow 'idge along which
the road ran and on each side was
deep canyon. At no place is
the road mere than u soupls Of
feet wider than a'wag.n, and the
grade is very heavy. Halfway
across something startled Old Sam
and he began to kick for all he VAS
worth.
"rom whipped and swors. but
Sam only made his heels fly faster
and at last managed to get oRtsids
the traces and then, as if satisfied
with the fun he had, the brute lay
down right in the middle of the
road and dsfsd TOMS every effort
to get him up. A ceupls OF Msxi-
cans happened along, and at Toms
Invitation they took = hand. One
of them gathered q lot Of dry grass
and piled it close to tAs mules
headquarters and set it on FIRE. 1t
took Sam sbsut two seconds to
change his position and land his
heels on Toms stomach with a
force which ssnt him over the
edge OF tue road and down the
bank. He dropped twenty-five or
thirty feet down the side OF the
msxntain. Where did he Land?
Why on the edge of the Monday,
Of course. He had sense enough
to keep his discovery a secret, and
wrote to his brother in Denver to
gather up all the cash he could
and get down to New Mexico i'm
mediatsly. The frat thing We knew
in Lake Valley a gang of man
were developing the mine. All the
rock taken out is sent to Cerrlllos
to be worked, and the deeper they
go the richer the ledge is. 1t paid
handsomely from the start and the
BOYS srs getting about ten thou
sand dollars month clear OF eI-
penses. The first thing Tom did
was to purchase Old Sam, and the
N uls is now living 4 life Of ease,
with a big pasture to Craze In and
a good stable t, slsep in at night.
