gristmill the other side of Corlears
Hook, teaching and explaining to him
the new method of multiplication. We
had scarce half score mugs of ale and
my head was clear as bell when saw
gray cloaked figure hastily enter the
door of the Wursthaus. "
"You will agree, Herr Won Schneist,
that it is my bounden duty to search
your premises?" quoth the captain.
"Assuredly, herr captain" he re-
piled, "but before you begin I will
serve you and your men with some of
my new ale" Without giving them
time to answer he hustled toward the
big butt in the dark corner and straight
way dispensed generous measure of tho
beverage to them. Not having such high
opinions of the power of his satanic
majesty as the citizens. they quaffed it
down, but pronounced it stale and fiat.
Then began scene of turmoil and
confusion, enough to make the vrouw's
heart break with anguish. But though
the iron bound linen chest was turned
upside down and emptied of its contents
in an unseemly manner, and though
closets were upturned, beds overthrown
and the whole house pulled out at cor
ners, she never murmured or complained.
But nothing was found, and though
the taproom was lightly passed over
there was no place in it that a man
could hide-except possibly the big butt
in the dark corner. That, however, was
full of ale-for had they not drank some
Of it?
And so the watch marched away emp
ty handed, and left to the host and his
vrouw the task of putting things to
rights
The gray cloaked demon was seen
several times thereafter, but no con-
certed attempt was made to follow it
up. About two months from the time
of the fruitless search the few faithful
adherents of the Wursthaus noted that
both Hans and his wife wore very grave
faces. In few days they announced
that young traveller from Boston was
dangerously i'll in the darkened bedroom
up stairs, and the Dutch physician
who had but just arrived from Holland
was sent for. He came again and
again, and the faces of the worthy
couple showed deep sympathy for the
youthful guest. Finally the doctor came
in the middle of the night and staid till
morning, but the soul of his patient fed
before the dawn.
Heavy grief o'erhung the Schneist
household, and the Wursthaus was
closed till after the funeral Even then
old Hans showed a settled grief in his
altered demeanor
Observant neighbors noted that the
big butt in the corner was never used
after the soldiers drank from 1T, and
when few months had sped, and COM
parsons came to be made, it was found
that the gray cloaked phantom had
never been seen since the young stranger
was taken sick. 1t was also commented
upon that no one came from Boston to
inquire about him. Bnt there was o
many who believed till their dying day
that it was genuine ghost that had
been seen by Jacob Twiller ct al. glid-
ing along the old Bowerie road.-Pierce

No Man Need Want Bread and Butter IL
He Can Say ''Sombrero Bota."
Some time ago two Chilean gentle
men, friends of each other, agreed to
visit Europe. One of them resolved to
proceed overland to Buenos Ayres, and
from thence to Montevideo, where he
would join the straits steamer, while
the other preferred to make the journey
by sea.
In due time the steamer arrived at
Montevideo, and the two friends met
again. After the customary salutations
were over they commenced to compare
notes of their respective trips. The trav-
eler by sea complained that the Chilean
stewards on board professed profound
ignorance Of their native tongue and
persisted in answering all questions put
in that language with "What, sir?" OF
"Beg pardon, sir |" "Only imagine, :"
he said, 'that during all the voyage
from Valparaiso to Moutevideo I have
been unable to obtain pan con mante-
quilla, because the stewards either
would not or could not understand me. :"
MY dear friend" replied the over
land route man, 81 will tell you how to
overcome that difficulty. There is a
considerable number of Spanish words
which can be made to do duty as Eng
lish 1t is merely a question of pursuing
up the mouth and speaking harshly
through the teeth. For instance, in the
case of pan con mantequilla, the Span
ish words to be employed are sombrero
y bota. Make the trial and you will be
convinced of the efficacy of my method. u
Next morning the two friends sat
down together to breakfast, and the
overland man, nudging his companion,
whispered. ''Try my method. Imme-
diately afterward pna of the Chilean
mozos who was unable to comprehend
the meaning Of pan con mantequilla ap-
preached, and the passenger, screwing
PIP his mouth and speaking through his
teeth, exclaimed, "Sombrero bota. {"
"Some bread and butter? Yes, sir"
came the answer, and the passenger
had no difficulty after that in procuring
pan con mantequilia. Chilean Times.

The able and distinguished reformer
MAS discussing the tipping system with
3 plain ordinary travelling salesman
while they were taking dinner on din

''The exorbitant fees," he said,
(which are bestowed on servants is but
another instance of a tendency to be
overgenerous, which, once reduced to
a custom, becomes the severest kind of
tax, in that it is likely to affect the
warmest hearted people. Why, my dear
sir, should we pay the 25 cent fees?
Why indeed the 10 cent fee? Why any
fee to the porter? He is paid his wages,
or at least he is supposed to have been
paid his wages. Passengers pay their
fares. They pay extra for reserved seats.

LONELY MOUNDS AT POINT BARROW.
They Mark the Antiquity of a Native Race,
but Do Not Tell Its Story.


but Do Not Tell Its Story.
Point Barrow, Alaska, the northern
most point of land of the North Ameri-
can continent, has some interesting
graveyards of its own. About II years
ago Lieutenant Ray, in his report Of
the polar expedition to Point Barrow,
recorded that in digging shaft 26 feet
below the earth's surface to obtain
earth temperatures he found pair of
wooden goggles, pointing to the great
lapse of time since these shores were
first peopled. The Alaska Mining Rec
ord says that this country was undoubt-
edly inhabited long before Columbus
discovered America. Of the origin or
descent of the inhabitants no definite
trace has been found, and there are no
records of the past among the people
who now live there. Their language
abounds in legends, but none gives any
data by which to judge how long these
desolate shores have been inhabited
The ruins of ancient villages and
winter huts along the seashore and in
the interior show that the country has
been inhabited for centuries There are
mounds at Point Barrow marking the
site of three huts dating back to the
time when the natives had no iron and
the men "talked like dog" These
mounds stand in the middle of marsh,
and the sinking of the land caused the
site to be flooded and abandoned. The
inhabitants in times past have followed
the receding line of ice which at one
time capped the northern part of this
continent and have moved along the
easiest line of travel. This is shown in
the general distribution of similar
people, speaking a similar tongue, from
Greenland to Bering strait. The dis
tribution of the race today marks the
routes travelled. The seashore led them
along the coasts of Labrador and Green
land, Hudson bay and its tributary
waters. They came down the Yukon, so
rich in minerals, to people the shores of
that stream and the interior of Alaska,
and travelled along the coast to Cape
Prince of Wales. To this day they use
dogs instead of deer, the natives of
North America having never domesti-
Gated the reindeer, and they speak a
different tongue from their neighbors
across the strait in Siberia
Some writers on the subject have ad-
vanced the theory that the natives Of
Alaska are descendants of the race Of
people that Cortes drove out of Mexico,
others that they are Japanese Or Chinese
in origin, and others still that they
came to this country across the strait
from Siberia So far as definite infor=
nation is concerned, one guess is as
good as another. The lonely mounds
at Point Barrow mark the antiquity Of
the race, but they do not tell its story.

"THE republican press should either
quit writing editorials about the disas-
ter which they claim the Wilson bill
brought upon the country, or throw out
the reports of increased wages and the
starting up of mills with which their
columns are filed" says the Baltimore
NeUs. There is no doubt that the Viii.
son bill inflicted serious injury on the
business interests of the country, and
it is too much to expect the republican
press to refrain from abiding to the
fact But as to the cuckoo press, it is
every bit as misleading as it would
have US regard the republican press.
If the cuckoo press were honest, it
would quit talking about the wilson
tariff law in connection with returning
prosperity and give proper credit to the
Gorman-Brice piece of party perfidy.'

committee on finance of the United
