years ago and sf6mbIed- into a camp of
Indians where there was an epidemic Of
smallpox raging. Ii would never do for
him to return home after having been
exposed to that contagion, and it also
was incumbent on him as a man with
sympathetic heart to try to stamp out
the terrible disease. He and his friend
pondered over the situation for long
time, and at last plan caIne to them.
"How do you suppose we stamped
that smallpox out?" the sheriff says as
he tells the story.
"Well, it was this way. Neither of
Us had any medical education, and if
we had it wouldn' have done any good,
for we had no remedies with us, and it
would have been impossible to make
those Indians take any medicine. What
do you think we did? We Just rounded
up all the Indians that had the disease,
and when we were sure that we had ev-
cry one of them and had burned all
their effects we buried all the Indians up
to their necks in the ground and left them
there for the night. The next morning
we came around to see how they were
getting along, and-would you believe
it?-the wolves had come during the
might and had eaten off the heads of ev-
cry one of those Indians. That stamped
out the epidemic in that whole section,
and to this day there has never been q
case of smallpox there. 1t was rather
rough treatment, but ever since then
that tribe of Indians have been among
my very best friends. New York Sun.

CARMEN SYLvA'S HEART.
1t Is Very Tender, as a Little Roumanian
Girl Has Reason to Know.

1T Is Very Tender, rs Little Rou m anian
Girl Has Reason to Know.
4ere is a pretty little story about Carmen
SYLVIA: A few years ago, when she was in
the zenith of her popularity and health. she
visited a small village school incog. and
asked permission to put the children
through their "paces." The schoolmistress
was highly delighted. Although she was
unaware of the high rank Of her visitor,
she guessed from outward appearances that
the latter was Of no common order. The
children did their mistress credit, answer
ing with great promptitude all the simple
questions the Queen put to them.
Just before leaving the Queen noticed
one little tot In far corner Of the room,
with her tangled head of hair bent over
some book. The child was $50 deeply en-
crossed in her reading that she took no no.
tice whatever of anybody in the room. The
Queen asked the reason Of her silence; was
she deaf or otherwise afflicted? "Oh, no, "
was the answer, "but she is stupid and
never attends to her studies, but seizes
every opportunity to read story books. u
Carmen sylvia walked quietly up to the lit
tie reader, and putting her hand on the
curly head, asked gently what the child was
reading, and the latter held up the book to
the strange lady. 1t was Fairy Stories
and Poems," by Carmen Sylvia. "And do
YOU like these tales?" asked their author.
Like them, madame? oh, love them!'
And Carmen Sylvia took the child in her
arms. kissed the little flushed face, and
departed. About a week afterward the
child's aunt Qor the little maiden was an
orphan) received letter from the Queen
offering to educate and bring UP the child
The offer was gratefully and thankfully
accepted, and now the little one is In ohs
of the best schools In Roumania.

1t was known in TIE United States
marshal's Office at Nashville that Wild
cat whisky was coming down the Cum
berland river. The marshal was new in
Office, and therefore was determined to
do his duty, which, of course, was to
see that the illicit distilleries, no mat
ter how remote, should be destroyed,
and that the distillers should be brought
to justice. His predecessor in office had
been likewise determined and had sent
brave men to the mountains, but whis-
ky had continued to come down the
Cumberland river. The present mar
shall, Captain Hayes, an old Confeder-
ate officer, said that he thought that
when the boys found out that he really
wanted them to quit they would do so.
He understood them, he knew their ma
lures, their impulsiveness and their dis
position to yield to persuasion. So he
sent deputy and four men to tell the
boys to quit. One night about week
later some one rang the doorbell, and
the marshal himself went to the door.
"Why," said he, 'have you got back,
Caney?"
Caney answered, eyes, just about. "
"Where is the deputy marshall"
t'Well, he's back too."

boys that I wanted them to quit theil

the groups around the faro layouts are
smaller and more quiet than those around
the other tables. Many a man has come to
Robv with a sure system to beat the faro
bank and had to borrow car fare to get
back to Chicago. There are no poker tables
in the main hall, but several of the smaller
apartments have been fitted up for the
great American game"

continues until the last train leaves for
Chicago, at about o'clock the next morn
ing. The amphitheater and other rooms
are lighted by electricity. Arrangements
are being made for heating them, these IA
cilities being at present lacking
But the arena is not the only place where
gambling is carried on in Roby. In fact,
about every third house is now occupied by
members of the sporting fraternity, and
games of all kinds are running The town
is crowded with sharpers. Fights, FIRE
quently attended with shooting and stab
bing, are of almost daily occurrence.
For awhile the trains running to and
from Roby were worked by skin" gam

pany has put stop to this, however, and
if one of these men dares TO show his nose
on board a train he is unceremOniously
elected by conductor and brakemen. The
''sure thing" gamblers have now estab
lished their stands on the road leading from
the town square" to the arena and keep
the constable busy driving them away. No
sooner do they disappear from one spot,
however, than they bob up in another, and
the game goes merrily on.
Following the example set bya more EN-
inent divine, a clergyman having a church
in Roby has made an attempt to purify the
moral atmosphere. of the town. He started
by daily visiting the arena and learning
the names of several of the gamblers active
ly engaged in the games conducted there
He had them arrested and brought before
Squire" Merritt on the charge of being
common gamblers. Two or three of the
prisoners were convicted and fined $50 each,
after which they returned to their stands
at the arena and continued business as be-
fora In retaliation the gamblers swore outa
