Two Truc Fish Stories,

"Just after the first Worlds fair ban.
quet," said Abram Williams, n prominent
fire insurance manager, "a party of gentle
men were talking in one of the parlors OF
the Palmer House, where the feast was
spread, and, as will happen sometimes, you
know, the conversation drifted to fish sto.
ries. And fish stories reminded Delegate
White, Of the south, of an experience he
had in New Mexico.
1.-THE fish were so PLENTIFUL said Mr..
White, that all our party needed to do
when we wanted q dinner of fish was to
take two boards or shingles, and forming
them in the shape of a scoop just dish out
as many as we needed for a meal
"When Mr.. White had finished there
was a moments silence, then Edwin
Walker, attorney for the st. Paul road,
quietly said;
"'That's not much of a fish story, Mr..
White. Why, when | was travelling up
one Of the small rivers in southern Alaska
| saw fish in such great numbers that the
water could not be seen. 1t was a most
remarkable thing, and | have never heard
of the like before or since. They were act.
ually so thick that they were wedged in
the water, heads down, and all that could
be seen wa thousands of their w~riggline
tails sticking up out of the water, each
one, Of course, having an individual mo.
ton Of it's own A shout of laughter
greeted Mr.. Walker from every one except
Mr.. White, whose face flushed up holly,
then paled until it was whittier than a
sheet, as he said;
"'But, Mr.. Walker, my story was true
And so was my story true responded Mr..
Walker.
"And the best of it was that Mr.. Walk,
er's story was literally true, as Mrs. Walker
later in the evening testified. 1t was in
the spawning season, and just above the
spot where the remarkable sight was wit
messed was a narrow rapids. The salmon
went up the stream in such quantities that
many were crowded out of the water, and
gave to the scene literally the aspect told
by Mr.. Walker. "-Chicago Globe.

Tow Peter Cooper Struggled.

Peter Cooper, who founded the Cooper
institute, had a hard struggle, because as
a boy his health was of the frailest. He
went to school but one year of his life, and
during that year he could only 20 every
other day. But when he was eight years
old he was earning his living by pulling
hair from the skins of the rabbits his
father shot to make hat pulp.
He had not half a chance" 1t seemed
almost literally that he had no chance at
all. He went to New York when he was
seventeen years old to make his fortune.
He walked the streets for days before he
got n place, and then apprenticed himself
to a carriage maker for five years for his
board and two dollars a month.
He had neither time nor money for what
people call pleasures, but he had the pleas
ure of hope. While he was working for
fifty cents a week he said to himself, "If |
ever get rich | will build a place where the
poor boys and girls Of New York may have
an education Free" And he did it.-Youth's

A Pretty Souvenir.

For a decidedly pretty souvenir procure
a piece of celluloid s by 6 inches. On this
paint pansies, not In punches or groups, as
is usually seen, but each one distinct by
itself. Do not have too many Of them; not
more than eight at the most. If possible
paint from nature, and if you take a little
trouble to look around you will be sur.
prised at the variety, both in size and color,
of these flowers. Shades and tints you did
not know existed you will find in n pansy.
The artistic arrangement of the flowers
and the harmony of the colors must de.
pend on your sense of the aesthetic.
Lace the edges Of the celluloid together
with narrow lavender ribbon, and you have
a pretty whisk broom holder. Cut three
pieces of blotting paper the size ofthe cellu.
loid, fasten them MI together at one end
with a big bow Of ribbon, and there is as
pretty II blotter rs ever a girl gave to her
boy.-New York Advertiser.

How Elephants AFRO Tanned.

In the island of Ceylon the people arc
very fond of elephant hunting. They be-
gin by clearing an open space near a forest,
part Of which is strongly fenced in with
trunks Of trees, with open places for doors.
This is called y corral. When so much of
the work is done the natives get behind
and around the elephants with blazing
torches, shaking spears and rafting all
kinds Of noisy instruments in order to
brighten the huge animals while all the
time driving them toward the open doors
Of the corral.
At last with a rush the great herd enters,
the entrances are barred, and the poor
giants of the woods find themselves hope
lessly imprisoned. An elephants rage is
dreadful to witness, but the ingenuity of
man has found Il way of subduing it. One
by one each prisoner is freed again, and
tame elephants, remarkable for their
sagacity, come up to him, stroke him with
their trunks and otherwise cajole him
until they lead him on to II good, strong
tree. The natives creep up behind, and in
n minute a rope with a running knot is
around the elephants leg and made fast to
q tree.
All the time this is going on the tame
elephants are humoring their deluded vic.
tim, but as soon as he il secured they &C
away and leave him, Which is a shabby
trick. Then the men bring him nice cocoa
nuts and leaves to eat, which, of course, he
refuses, as he is again in a great passion
and struggling to be free. But hunger
subdues even the ~lercest, and at last his
wild roaring ceases to resound through the
woods and he is forced to eat.
From that time the tanning process is
comparatively easy; again and again he is
fed, as he requires it, by a kind hand; and
the elephant, susceptible to kindness, be.
comes at last n docile servant of the man.

OLD TIMES IN TEXAS.
How n Quaker vigilantc Made Friends
with Ben Thompson, of Austin.

WIN Dtu AhOtipbOut Va Ausbihs
When John r. Hoxie came to Texas to
live twenty years ago Que of the first
things he did to identify himself with the
country was to join a vigilance committee.
Mr.. Hoxie is reputed to be the largest in
dividual taxpayer in the state. He is sew
eral times a millionaire. His ancestors
were Quakers. His training was all for
peace. But such were the conditions Of
society in that part Of Texas to which he
moved from Illinois that he soon found
himself at the head Of u volunteer organi-
cation of his neighbors to enforce morality
by vigorous measures.
Mr.. Hoxie went down to Galveston to
attend a public gathering. A community
of 10000 or 1900 people was trying to play
host to a crowd of 100000 or $4,000 strangers.
Mr.. Hoxie was late getting in, and the
clerk OF the hotel said in n somewhat du.
bious tone;
"Mr. HoXie, Tl have to put you in q
room with Mr.. Thompson, Of Austin"
"That's all right, sir" said Mr.. Hoxie.
The bell boy led the way up stairs, opened
the door and stepped back. Mr.. Hoxie en-.

been on springs, dropped two revolvers,

In the morning Mr.. HoXio rose first. lie

it. The flannel Of these dimensions is
unshaped, save that in the center of II
side it is cut down about six inches and
the sides turned over, making two little

AS for the finishing touches, these
consist merely of a line of silken feather

course, is turned in) and extending all

also round the points at wrists and

A Touching Incident,

A group Of emigrants wa gathered in
the long, dreary passage which opens on
the bay at the Jersey City station, and as
the passengers waiting for the midnight
train strayed that way they observed a
stolid, pathetic look on each face that told
of some greater sorrow than the loneliness
of a strange land. There were the aged
grandmother, the father and mother, and
a family of half grown children-little men
and w~omen-who moved and talked and
looked like their elders. But they were all
silent now and sat m~otionless on the hard
benches on which their rude luggage was
piled.
Between the father and mother was a
rough bed, extemporized from shawls and
comforters and a coarse cloth coat, and on
that bed the youngest Of the family was
sleeping; but there was that in the aspect
Of the group that denoted such a deep sor-
row that one of the passengers approached
and asked;
as the child sick2"
The Danish people shook their heads-it
was an unknown tongue to them. But one
of the boys, who had picked up a few of
the necessary English words from his fell
low travellers on the steamship voyage to
this country, answered, without moving a
muscle of his face;
"Yesh-shleeps."
An hour later an official stopped and
looked at the group. Then he turned down,
with no ungentle hand, the coverlid from
what he believed to be the sleeping child.
WHY" he exclaimed, starting back,
"this child is dead"
"Yesh," said the boy who could speak
English, "shleep-dead."
And these people had sat by their dead
for nearly eight long hours, racked with
anxiety as to what they should do, dis
tractcd with grief, yet unable to speak a
word of their trouble to the many sympa.
thizing hearts that were within reach OF
them.
They left the little yellow haired girl
baby, consigned to a foreign grave, and
went on their way; but though they shed
no tears, there was that in their blue eyes
that told Of n deep wound, and doubtless
in their new home they will miss tho
quaint little figure in its blue wooden dress
and round white cap and tiny wooden
shoes-the Danish baby that lies alone un-
der the shade trees Of Jersey City.-Youth's
