A Valuable Play Toy.

Miss Olive Schreiner recently told the
following story: She and her brothers
and sisters had as one of their play
things bright stone that they called
the candle stone. 1t was about the size
Of a walnut and would flash in bright
and singular way when held to tho
light. Not until she had quite grown
up and the candle stone had been lost
for years did any of them realize that it
was diamond of doubtless immense
value. The Kimberley mines were in the
unknown future, but this stone had per-
haps been washed down by some torrent
or brought by other chance from that
region.

The Man with the Ginger Beard Tells a
Story of Early Colorado Days. -
"Them fellers at Chicago is a maxim
a whole lot of money in the hash bust
ness,' SAID the man with the ginger
beard, ''but 1 jist bet they amt none
of them got on to the scheme that
Teller out in Colorado did oncet.'
The grocer sat looking dreamily out
the window, wondering when his COM
mission was coming with the postmas-
tership, says the indianapolis Journal
The man with the ginger beard noticed
his abstraction, got insulted, walked
across the street, thought better of it,
came back and went on as though
the grocer had exhibited the deepest
interest
'Itwas jist like this" he said. This
here teller made a thousand dollars in
one year a-sellin' air-tight pies
''What is alright pies?''
"Air-tight pies" said the man with
the ginger beard, sis pies which is air
tight. The Teller made 'em this way
Them pies was made out of two crusts,
and the film was wind, which he
blowed into them till they was about
two inches thick. You see, he sold
them pies to the tourists, to be ct off
the premises mostly when they was
out eXplorin'. Teller would buy the
pie, thinking it was the thickest pie
for the money that ever he had bought,
and so it was; but when he come to bite
into it his teeth would come together
so sudden that some of 'em was jist as
likely to break off as not. But then
tenderfeet is made to be skinned, and
when the Lord sends one good mans
way he is sucker hisself if he don't
do him up as he should be did"

MARKED BY THE DEVILS HOOP
The Strange Story Told by an Old Negro
in Missouri.


in Missouri.
Henry Rice, an aged negro who re
sides, or did, not more than year ago,
at Rolla, this state, says the St. Louis
Republic, makes what is probably the
most remarka BILE claim that ever came
from the mouth of a human being
viz: That he had sold his soul to. the
devil and that his Satanic majesty
sealed the bargain by putting his trade
mark on the Negroes breast. In sup
port of this preprosterous statement
Rice exhibits a deep scar situated di-
rectly over the heart, which appears
to have been burned deep into the flesh
with a branding iron about the shape
and size of the hoof of a two-year-old
heifer This scar, the old negro de-
clares, is the print or mark of the
devils hoof, and that it is memorial
of a compact which ne made with the
king of the sulphurous regions away
back in slavery days. According to
the terms of the contract the negro is to
have supernatural powers over his race
during the few feeting days that he
remains a tenant on earth, and that
when all is over his soul is to go-not to
God, who gave it, but to the devil, who
has marked it as his own. When Rice
and the devil had settled on the condi-
lions outlined above the lessee of the
Negroes soul placed his cloven hoof
over the heart of the wicked old Afri-
can and left ifs inde1ih1e irnnraSS as
evidence of his future proprietary
right to burn the old man to his hearts
content.

That Is, When 1t Was Applied to Some

The Texas congressman usually has
shrewd perception of humor, re-
marks the Washington ost. The del
egation has corner on half the good
stories going, and can lay claim to sew
eral which have got away. A CORE
spondent backed the dean of the dele
cation up in a corner the other day
and told the following tale:
ga friend of NINE" said the CORE
spondent, ''came up from Texas when
the session opened, and as he expected
to be here some time he looked around
for moderate-priced room, which he
located in a nice neighborhood. A
motherly old lady showed him the
room, which pleased him very much
AS he was about to leave the room she
asked him where he was from.
From Texas, madam
"'Well, let me show you how this
gas works. You turn it on so, and put
match to it, so; when you get through
turn it off, So
But understand all about gas.
We have it at home.'
Yes, but have had a good deal of
trouble with Texans about gas, and it
doesn't do any harm to show you Turn
it on SO, and turn it off this way.
Don't try to blow it out
But, madam protested my friend,
you needn't go to all that trouble. If it
will relieve your mind any, I lived in
Chicago for six months before coming
here
You did, eh? Well, I want you to
understand that this is respectable
house, and 1 won't have any poker
playing or drinking and carousing up
here"
''Haw, haw!' laughed the congress
man, that is one of the best stories l
ever heard" and his sides shook with
laughter.
But" said the cores pondent, "the
boys are sending that story out tonight
and saying that you are the Texan"

pretty low-down sort of a yarn to spin
on anybody" grumbled the congress

burg and placed in the hermitage Il
In 1881, a mound was opened called
by the Tartars 1.-THE Hillock of the
Brave" and in a room of hewn stone
the remains of Scythian king were
found, together with those of his wife,
his war horse and servant. His gold.
en- crown and ornaments were there
untouched.
Even the sarcophagus of carved cy-
press wood, in which his body was laid,
remains undecayed, and the carving
and gilt figures upon it are still sharp
and beautiful.
1t seems incredible that substance
so frail should have endured for more
than two thousand years uninjured.
The gold bars of his shield, the sill
yer slaves of his heralds, the collar of
twisted gold wire, are to be seen, be-
sides many other articles found in his
tomb, although large number were
stolen at the time of the discovery.
But still more interesting and beau

AN UNWElLDY CROWD.

Events of the Fifty third session of
congress justify the belief that the Dem
ocratic party does not know how to
handle a majority. 1t is making a
worse showing than it did when 1t
struggled as minority against Repub-
lican reforms. Beside the long extra
session. two months of the regular ses-
sion have passed and none of those
things have been accomplished for
which the party painted to come into
power. Indeed, nothing appears near
accomplishment, unless it be the repeal
of the federal elections bill, concerning
which there seems to be a unanimity of
Democratic purpose.
So far the greatest obstacles to legis-
Iation have been furnished by the Dem
ocratic majority. Every week presents
unexpected complications of govern
ment about which the party seems to
be hopelessly divided. Although the
matter has not been brought to test,
it appears that the chief opposition to
the prayer of Secretary Carlisle for re-
lief will come from the majority. While
the Republicans in congress deprecate
the foolishness and mismanagement
which has made relief necessary, they
would probably consent to the issue of
the three per cent bonds, but it is al
most certain that the Democratic ma
iority will let the secretary worry.
The tariff bill dispute has taken such
shape that the Republican members
of congress have little to do.
The majority was given plenty of rope
by the voters year ago last Noyem Der
and the strangling process seems to be
going on nicely. In the meantime,
though, the business of the country is
standing still to watch the performance.
