A NIGHT IN A SANDSTONE.

One night in their journey across the
desert in Egypt Mr.. and Mrs. White
law Reid were awakened by the blow
ing down of their tents. The fine,
piercing sand was coming from all
directions, and breathing was both
painful and difficult. Mr.. Reid called
to the Bedouin attendants, who acted
as their guides as we'll as guards. The
Bedouins knew just what to do. They
saw in an instant that a severe sand
storm was upon them. Mr.. and Mrs.
Reid were told to lie fat upon their
faces. The Bedouins put saddles over
their heads and then wrapped head
and saddle in three thicknesses OF
woolen blankets The storm ragged fol

moved. SO penetrating was the sane
that in spite of the thick covering ovel

story of stump speaking in the Golden
state.
A turgid orator, so noted for his ver-
bosity and heaviness that he had been
dubbed Melancholy" McCullom, was
assigned to speak, at mining camp
in the mountains. There were about
fifty miners present when he began.
But when at the end of couple of
hours he gave no signs of finishing, his
listeners dropped away. Some went
back to their work. but the majority
sought wherewith to quench their
thirst, which had been immensely
aggravated by the dryness of the dis
course
Finally there was but one auditor
left, dilapidated, weary-looking old
fellow. Fixing his gaze on him, Nc
Cullom pulled out mans size six
shooter and laid it ON the table. The
old fellow drawled out:
''Be you goin' to shoot, eff l go?'
"You bet l am" responded McCul.
lom. 'I'm bound to finish my speech,
even if / have to shoot to keep an au
dience."
The old fellow sighed in tired
manner, edged off slowly, saying as ht
did so:
