ner visit it was dark. She had stayed
to supper, and as the girl opened tine
door she saw that she was somewhat ex-
cited.
"What is it, Kitty" she asked rather
gravely, because the girl was inclined to
get frustrated easily.
''oh, mem, what was the name OF the
girl as lived here before / camel" she
responded with a counter question.
"Here name3 Sarah something, ]
cannot remember just now-why7"
''oh, there was a young man here
looking for his sister, but her name was
Annie Donovan. He said he hadn't
seen her in ten years, and she was grown
IN now, and be talked bu~tchfully about
her. 1t would bring tears till your eyes,
ma'am, 10 hev heard him."
''Kitty, l wouldn't gossip with strange
=len if l were you. j 1t isn't safe. He
probably was a tramp aud all that story
about his sister was made up out of whole
cloth. What else did he want7"
"Nothing, ma'am, and didn't let him
inside the kitchen door. He warn't no
tramp, an I'm sure he were tellin' the
truth"
Mrs. Bascomb did not prolong the ar.
gument, but busted herself until bedtime
with some household duties, which were
really in the line of pleasure to her wo.
manly nature. Then she saw that the
house was,locked up, sent Kitty to bed
aad vent into her front psrlor, which
was lighted and cosy, just as if the mas
Ger of the house were at home.
''I must send fathers message TO How

self at the pretty little desk which had
been one OF her wedding presents, she
wrote o postal card. After giving the

Then be rung of, and Mrs. Bascomb
went in search of the satchel, which she
packed with q def hand. She was q
Young oma sensible, well-balanced,
sud nothing ever disturbed or annoyed
her to the extent OF making her fdgety
or nervous. Being in robust health,
sue hardly knew what nerves meant.
She was self-reliaut, but domestic, aud
absorbed IN her home life, which COM
prised her world. And she never crossed
any bridges until she came to them. She
knew that her husband had intended
going TO New York on the following
day, and did not wonder or ponder over
his change of plans.
When the messenger came for the
satchel she sent it carefully packed, just
as she knew her husband wanted it.
She added nothing to its usual contents,
and subtrlcted nothing. Yes, stay.

need it,"
She smiled and smiled again without
being a villain. The idea Of needing
firearms seemed so incougruous aud
absurd.
In the afternoon she went up to her
homc to "borrow her sister," as she ex.
pressed it. But Miss Madgie had gone
away with some young friends, and was
engaged to spend the nigat at the house
of a schoolmate. So Mrs. Bascomb re-
turned home alone.

Probably the most remarkable political
address of the year was that just issued
by the democratic leaders of Minnesota
through the democratic association of
Minnesota. 1t says in part: s'It is
useless to disguise the fact that our party
is confronted with serious peril. 1t is
time for plain words. Silence now is
disloyalty to our party and its cause.
IL less than two years after winning the
won, and while in full possession of
the powers then given us, we present
the appearance of defeated party, while
our opponents defeated in the battle

WAYS OF THE FAKIRs.
Where and How Fortune-Telling Sharps
Get in Their Work.

Get In Their Work.
It is said by the detectives of the
central office, who occasionally have
to deal with the fortune-telling, hyp-
motto and clairvoyant sharps, that
these latter gentry make their living
by the skill with which they treat the
curious maiden ladies of uncertain age
and the army of stout and middle
aged women who endeavor, by bleach
ing their hair and powdering their
faces, to conceal from themselves and
the world the fact that they arc grow
ing old. The fortune tellers, says the
New York Sun, are men who appar-
emily realize that there is in this world
q large number of foolish women of
mature years, who do not object to
paying three or five dollars for having
their fortunes told by some of the re-
narkable malseers who are doing such
lucrative business just now in this
line. The fortune-telling sharps
are usually men between thirty
and forty years of age, of an owl
like air and more or less impressive
ness of manner, and they fondle the
hands of their visitors as they read the
lines after a fashion that would be
ridiculous were it not lucrative. There
is no real harm in all of this, according
to the detectives, except that once in
awhile 4 particularly idle and foolish
old woman permits one of these sharps
to get the best of her so far as to ex-
tort sums of money, on one preteXt
or another, beyond the usual three
dollar limit for consultation. Some
times the pretext is an enlargement
of his business, his desire to
buy beautiful picture, or some
other trinlket of value to him, but
as often as not the man succeeds in
wheedling sums of money varying from
five dollars to twenty-five dollars
purely as '1oan.' 1t is when the
''loan" gets to be of unusual proper
tions that the police are called in.
They know the fortune tellers very
well, and there is never any difficulty
in getting back the money, but the
elderly, foolish woman in the case is
usually in state of tremendous men
tai perturbation while it is ali go
ing on.

AN AERICAN KING.

He Was Jealous of the Talents of His
After Emin Pasha had learned of the
fall of Khartoum and the conquest OF
the Soudan by the Mahdists, he gave up
hope of being able to defend the equa-
torial province with the force at his
disposal, says Youths Companion.
To rescue the Egyptians who gar
risoned the various posts was now his
first duty, and he began to make his
plans for march to the sea. The only
practical route appeared to lie through
The kingdom of Unyoro, which bounds
the province ou the southeast. Ac-
cordingly he sent his medical officer,
Vita Hassan, with valuable presents of
ivory and other things, to the king of
the country to obtain permission for
the passage of the troops through his
dominions.
This, African monarch, who was
named Kabarega, though in outward
appearance mere savage, showed
that he possessed some of the qualities
of a successful ruler.
Among the presents sent him was a
little box which had come from Nam
bettu, a country in the extreme west
ern part of the province. When the
king noticed that it was made of a
single piece of wood he was very much
pleased with it and asked the envoy
whether he thought that his subjects
We're capable of initiating such work.
81 answered him." says Vita Hassan,
''that the Wanyoro had no experience
in such work and that it would be very
difficult for them to do it as well as
the Mambettu, who were skilled in
of n r.f 4 &1,o
most varied and difficult objects. In a
really artistic manner they are able to
make dishes, plates, bowls, stands and
even Turkish jugs with their long and
crooked necks.
1.-THE Wanyoro, on the other hand,
understand the preparation of skins.
This is their speciality, as woodwork
ing is that of the Mambettu. Ny words
aroused the jealousy of Kabarega, and
he counted on his fingers to five, and
then said: 'On this day pointing to
the fifth finger, come here again, and
l will show you whether or not my peo-
pie can make box like this
'On the fifth day the Wanyoro had
succeeded, under the most frightful
threats of the king, in manufacturing
a similar box of perhaps even better
construction. Full of pride, Kabarega
showed it to me with the words: What
use is it being king if I cannot get
my subjects to make everything which
/ wish?'
"'But what if you desire something
which is beyond their ability or their
knowledge?'
'''There is no need of that, for have
not lost my head; 1 shall never bid
them fetch me the moon, but if it is a
thing which is not beyond our power,
cannot permit that they should give
up at the first difficulty

If the number of ewes that have been
sent to the Chicago market during the
past month is fair index, then the sup
ply of sheep in the future will be ma
terially cut short. From fifty to seventy
five per cent of the sheep marketed for
awhile were ewes, and this means that
the breeding stock was reduced in pro-
portion. and the supply of lambs will be
much shortened. The utter discourage
ment which prevailed among sheepmen
during the past season is responsible for
this radical move. The next thing there
will be shortage in sheep, prices will
advance and everybody will go to raising
them again, and glance at the figures
of the past year will reveal what that
signifies. Sheep are prolific, and more
prudence and conservatism should be
exercised in raising and marketing them.
This showing operates against the fine
wool men, of course, but also upon the
mutton sheep men in a minor degree, of
course. The merino sheep men catch it
every time as of course, in fact, the
breeders of mutton, and have the advan-
tage, but in no wise fair show in con-
gress just now.-Prairie Farmer Chicago.
