TWO TOUGH TALES.
Couple of Drummers Who Had Struck
Extremes,

A Chicago drummer and New York
drummer met in a hotel one night and
talked ten minutes of trade, ten
minutes of choruses, ten minutes
of politics, and concluded with a
couple of Munchausen yarns that if
properly paid for would be entitled to
the biggest share of the cake, says the
New York Mail and Express.

man, ''and had great time. tell you,
but we struck some cold weather few

We ran across an old dame named Lid,
who had settled at the very spot where
King Canute used to drink his eight
flagons of ale for breakfast. Very cold
there. The steam from the teakettle
would fall like snow in front of the
fireplace. Out in the open air, when
ever a man spoke, his breath CONCEALED

ACROSS THE PLAINS BY WAGON.
Wherein the Journey Is Different from
What 1t Was In 80.

What 1t Was In 40.
A day or two since family of immi-
grants from southern Kansas, who had
travelled all the way across to Oregon
in their own wagon and were five
months on the way, camped a few
miles east of this city, says the Port
land Oregonian. So seldom do immi-
grants "cross the plains" with teams
nowadays that Mr.. Smith inquired how
they had come to make the trip.
The immigrant said there were many
more families on the way, strung along,
whom he had passed. He had become
weary of the ups and downs of life in
Kansas, and had started to make a
home on Lewis river, where he had
some friends. He was a man of some
means, and had wife and several
half grown children. When he con-
cluded to emigrate he had nine horses,
one of them a mare for which he had
paid five hundred dollars. He could
not sell them for anything, so con-
cluded to drive to Oregon, save railroad
fare, and have his horses after he got
here. He bought carriage and a cart
for his family, and, loading his outfit
in farm wagon, hitched up his horses
and struck out
The mans account of the trip shows
that, while crossing the plains now is
much the same as in the days of 40 and
whereabouts, in other respects il is a
very different affair. For instance. in
stead of finding plenty of grass for his
stock and game for his family, he found
no game, and had to buy feed for his
horses all the way, the plains" being
now comparatively settled country,
AS far as wear and tear to wagons and
animals goes, the trip was all that
could have been anticipated. He lost
all his horses, his cart and carriage,
and came through the Barlow Gate
with a pair of eastern Oregon causes
hitched to his farm wagon, the wheels
of which were braced with oak grubs
and body bound up with withes. He
said his five hundred-dollar mare was
stolen, and the others had succumbed
to alkali water and other things. He
now says it would have been cheaper
to shoot his horses and come by rail-
road. He could have arrived at his
destination in three days from the time
he started at a cost of about two hun
dred dollars. However, he did not
care. They had seen the country. and
had at last reached the promised land.

A WISE DOCTOR.
He Stood Not on the Order OF His Going,
But He Got.

But He Got.
An English doctor, attached to the
court of a rajah. made himself almost
indispensable to his highness. He had,
fortunately. also made friend of his
prime minister. On one occasion his
highness, being slightly indisposed,
had taken, by the doctors advice, a
seidlitz powder, with which he ex-
pressed himself delighted. Its ten
dency to boil and fizz ready to blow
your nose off" seemed to him to scat
ter coolness," and he seemed so much
better after taking it that the doctor
felt himself justified in joining in n
hunting party. Presently horsenan
from the palace, in the confidential
employment of the grand vizier, gal
loped up to him. MY master bids me
tell YOU" he said, that his highness
has broken open your medicine chest
and taken, first, all the white powders
and then all the blue" Gracious
goodness" cried the doctor, there
were twenty-three of each of them!"
"My master adds continued the mes
senger, dropping his voice, that you
had better make for the frontier with
out one moments delay" The doctor
put spurs to his horse and never drew
rein till he was "out of the jurisdiction
of the court"

The Secret of Getting the Most Out OF
the Animal.

the Animal
In dealing with horses, says a writer
in Atlantic Monthly, there are two
things to be done. First, to control
and restrain them; secondly, to stimu-
late and encourage them to do their
best. For dozen men that can do the
first you will find only one who can do
the second.
Sometimes this faculty crops out In
unexpected places | was once riding
on the back seat of an open carriage
drawn by two lazy horses. On the
front seat, beside the driver, sat q
Methodist minister, a solemn-faced per-
son, with long, and except that his
upper lip was shaven, full beard. He
was dressed in black clothes, and alto
gether looked the very antipodes of
horsy man. ..
The team were plodding slowly
along, with heads and tails down,
when, at his request, the reins were
handed over to the parson. As soon as
he had taken them, and had uttered
the quiet word of command, the nags
seemed to be electrified; up went their
heads and tails; ten years slipped off
their backs, and away they started at
an elastic NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. gait.
These horses not only obeyed the
minister, but they took pleasure in
obeying him.
1t would be hard to say what is the
secret of this power, but 1 doubt if ii
is ever found in any man not possessed
of both a strong will and a feeling for
dumb animals.

know that there will be no trouble in

GENTLEdEN:-At the last regular
meeting of the American League the
inclosed resolution was unanimously
adopted, and I have been requested
to forward the same to your honorable
body.
Whereas, During the last few years
of commercial depression. while the
distress in many lands has been great,
Hawaii, also, has not escaped; and
Whereas, The calls upon the be-
nevolence of our people in supplying
the necessary food, and in several
cases purchasing passage upon out
going vessels, have been such that the
treasures of our benevolent societies
have become depleted; and
Whereas, 1t appears that the num-
ber of unemployed in this city Is in
creasing; and
Whereas, Upon inquiry at the
various benevolent organizations and
the plantation agencies, it appears
that the number of applications for
labor have not materially increased;
therefore be it
Resolved, That in the opinion OF the
American League the Councils should
promptly adopt measures TO prevent
the landing upon these shores or such
persons as nave no definite prospects
of supporting themselves here.
