Unwslcome Guests

Some years ago three young men
were camping in the Sierra Nevada
mountains, killing deer, fishing and
cooking delcctable food. One day
it happened that one of them had
twisted his ankle, and the others
went hunting without him. As he
could not move about be was natural
ly somewhat bored, land after reading
awhile in the shade of tree he fell
asleep. Thus he tells what followed:
woke up with start and the
feeling that something was about to
happen. Fifteen Indians sat in a
half circle about ME waiting for me
to stir.
They had fixed upon mo their l5
pair of black, beady eyes, and not
one of them moved a muscle. All
of them had guns, and, what was
more important, each had presumab-
ly two sound legs, whereas was han
dicapped by my lameness.
| looked at them, and they contin-
ued looking at me. A lightning ex-
press of speculation ran through my
head. l remembered that the depu-
ty sheriff of the nearest settlement
had lately shot an Indian by
accident and that the tribe had
sworn to have his scalp. Did / look
like the deputy sheriff? Was it my
scalp they wanted?
Their eyes never wandered, but
mine did, for / could not help glapc-
ing at my gun, at least Is feet away,
and at the spot where big Indian
sat composedly on my cartridges.
Finally one buck made a remark.
"Fishhook p said he.
"No," said /. mo fishhook.n
Silence again for IS minutes.
Then another indicated by glance
a piece of voniaon hung up in troo
and grunted his approval of it. I
nodded, and he rose, solemnly took
it down and laid it on the ground
beside him.
A little, boyish fellow, with eyes
more restless than those of the others,
removed his gaze from me to a
greasy piece of red flannel besides
me, with which one of our men had
been cleaning his gun. took it up
and held it out to him, and he accepted
it with outward composure and, /
have no doubt, inward rapture.
Then we had another period OF silent
reflection, and they rose, stalked
solemnly away to their horses teth-
cred in neighboring grove and
rode off. They had made me a high
ly conventional social visit.--Y outh's
Companion.

Ephraim's Jag.

Ephraim Thomas is colored gen
tleman who has lately developed as
tonishing capacity to get into hot
water and the station house. he can
get drunk quicker and make howl
ing nuisance of himself on shorter
notice than any gentleman of his
color in Allegheny county. At times
Ephraim' think tank is filed with
the idea that he owns the earth. On
such occasions he scorns the police,
and halfway makes up his mind to
do up the whole outfit. This has a
tendency to bring him into conflict
with Justice Thompson and then
trouble begins.
Ephraim has had three interviews
with the justice since the first OF
the month, and came off second best
every time. But he is not discour-
aged. AS soon as the doors of the
municipal salon open for his deliver
ance he starts off in search of another
jag and fifteen minutes later there is
open war between him aud society
in general and the police in particu-
lar. His last conference with Justice
Thompson took place Friday. Those
who were present declare it was I'M
usually interesting.
When Ephraim took his seat in
the dock the justice was thoughtfully
examining his docket.

THE MODEL CHURCH.

Well, wife. pye found the model church,
| worshipped there today,
1t made me think of good old times,
Before my hair was gray.
The meeting house was fairer built
Than they were years ago,
But then found when / went In,
&. 1t was not built for show.
The sexton did not set me down
Away back by the door;
He saw that was old and deaf,
And knew that was poor;
He must have been Christian man,
He led me boldly through
The long aisle of that crowded church
To find pleasant pew.
I wished you heard the singing, wife.
1t had the old time ring;
The preacher said. with trumphet voice:
Let all the people sing.
Old Coronation was the tune,
The music upward rolled
Until thought heard the angel choir
Strike on their harps of gold.
My deafness seemed to melt away,
Ny spirit caught the fire,
l joined my feeble trembling notes
With that melodious choir
And sang as in my youthful days,
Let angels PROSTATE fall
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.'
tell you, wife. it did me good
To sing that song once more,
felt like some wrecked mariner
Who gets glimpse OF shore;
almost wanted to lay aside
This weather-beaten form,
And anchor safely in the port
Forever from the storm.
Twas not fiowery sermon, wife,
But simple Gospel truth,
1t suited humble men like me,
1t fitted hopeful youth;
To win immortal souls to Christ
The earnest preacher tried,
He talked not of himself or creed,
But Jesus crucified.
Dear wife, the toll win soon be DER,
The victory soon be won,
The shining band Is just ahead,
Our race is nearly run;
We'er nearing Canan's happy shore,
A land 30 bright and fair;
Thal God, We'll never sin again,
There'll be no sorrow there.

The "Changsable Rose" of Mongolia.


One of the achievements of the
Chinese-the one on which they
pride themselves above all others,
unless it is the art of raising oaks in
thin bles-is the ''changeable rose, "
real rose in everything except that
it is white when in the shade and
blood red as soon as the sunlight
strikes it. The words las soon" in
the last sentence above do not liter
ally mean instantaneously, but one
thing is sure, the Transformation is
rapid enough for the wondering>eyes
that are allowed the rare pleasure OF
beholding such a wonderful sight.
After night, or when in q dark
room, this curiosity of the rose fam
lily is a pure. waxy white blossom,
the thick. succulent petals much re-
minding one of gigantic mandrake
flowers. with the exception that even
the stamens and pistils are of the
same immaculate ,olor.
When transferred to open air. the
transform alton Immediately sets in,
the time of the entire change of the
flower from ivid whiteness to the
most sanguine of all sanguine hues
depending on the degree of sunlight
and warmth. First the petals take
on kind of washed or faded blue
color which rapidly changes to very
faint blush of pink. The pink grad
ually deepens in hue until you find
that your lily white rose of an hour
before is as red as the reddest peony
that ever bloomed. st. Louis Repub
