Henry Van Meter, who died in Ban
gor about 25.years ago at the advanced
age of 110, was genuine old Virginia
darky who drifted down east in some
mysterious way in the early part of this
century.
He imagined himself charged with
inspiration from various spirits and
was in reality unbalanced in his mind
for the greater part of the time, on ac.
count Of the superstitious beliefs which
possessed him.
At one time he was summoned to
court as witness in certain case, and
the counsel on each side badgered him
with questions until his wits became SO
entangled that his answers grew quite
wild and preposterous Noticing the
distress and confusion Of the poor old
witness, the judge, who was a most
kind hearted man, hushed the lawyers
and put a simple question to the bewil-
dered darky, with the intention Of bring
ing him back to the starting point.
This third assault, for SO Van Meter
regarded the kindly judges interposi-
tion, proved the last straw to the old
darky.

The Horse as q Fighter.

Said an ex-cowboy: 81 never saw
either cows or buffaloes attack horse
so as to amount to anything, but want
to rise right up and testify to the won
derful fighting powers of the horse. He
is built for more ways and kinds of
fighting than any other product Of ma
ture. He can bite, and he can kick out
behind, and he can strike with his fore
legs. When he is in action, he fights all
over. If you want to see fun, you should
see wolves attack bunch of horses ON
the plains. The horses get together with
their heads forming the hub Of awheel
and their bodies forming the spokes.
Then they fight the wolves with their
hind legs. They fill the air with wolves,
and every wolf lands dead, wounded or
i'll Horses avoid fight as rule, but
will go out of their way to kill snake.
They jump on the snakes, clubbing their
hocfs and using them like mallet. The
only other fights they seek are with un-
mounted men, whom they frequently at
tack, or else with one another, and in
the latter case they resemble buzzsaw
in action, all parts going at once. -

The Sim Of Frest.pr.

There is one sin which it seems to
me is everywhere and by everybody un-
derestimated, and quite too much over
looked in valuations Of character. II is
the sin of fretting. It is as common as
air, as speech, so common that unless it
rises above its usual monotone we do
not even observe it. Watch any ordina-
~ coming together of people, and see
how many minutes it will be before
somebody frets-that is, makes more or
less complaining statement or something
or other which probably every one in
the room, or in the car, or the street
corner, it may be. knew before, and
probably nobody can help. Why say
anything about it; 1t is cold, it is hot,
it is wet, it is dry; somebody has bro
ken an appointment. ill cooked meal;
stupidity or bad faith somewhere has
resulted in discomfort There are plenty
of things to fret about. 1t is simply as
tonishing how much annoyance may be
found in the course of every days liv-
ing, even at the simplest. il one only
keeps sharp eye out ON that side of
things. Even Holy Writ says we are
prone TO trouble as sparks fly upward.
But even to the sparks flying upward,
in the blacklist of smoke, there is blue
sky above; and the less time they waste
on the road the sooner they will reach
it. Fretting is all time wasted on the
road. Helen Hunt.

ters, the following lines to him:

Promptly enough the check went, but

must have received his insurance mon

forgotten. But it was very forcibly re-
called to my mind when next ! paid
visit to my home, for he did not call
upon me, as he had always been wont
to do. On the contrary, he Stunned a
meeting with me.

most kindly spirit possible, contained
these words: i regret have got $3.50

A Dog In . Crowd.

It is really cruel to take dog, and

No one possessing any imagination
would ever do it. Can you fancy what
the feelings of little animal must be
when it finds itself in perfect forest
Of legs, each leg provided with a foot
shod in hard leather and liable to come

ably be Of a powerful kind. --Philadel-

FATHER PAMpHILE.

and was preparing for the priesthood.
One day his brother, Joseph Damien di
Venster, who was then 10 years Of age,
was brought to see him. Joseph remain
ed to dine. and when he returned home
told his father that he, too, desired to
become priest. He accordingly began
studying at once, and afterward return
ed home to receive his mothers blessing.
Father Pamphile prepared himself for
missionary work in the south seas, but
at the last minute was taken with a
fever and forbidden to 60.
Father Pamphile was deeply disap-
pointed, and Joseph pleased him very
much by volunteering to go in his stead.
Thus it was that Father Joseph Damien,
the heroic priest, came to visit Hawaii.
After laboring for several years in the
Pacific islands Father Damien one day
heard his bishop lamenting that he could
not send missionary to the lepers on
the volcanic island Of Molokai. Father
Damien at once volunteered to devote
his life to the work. For 10 years he la
bored among the outcasts, dressing their
wounds, improving their moral, spirit
ual and physical condition, and bury
ing them when they died. Finally he
contracted the loathsome disease, and
died April 15, 1889.
Father Pamphile will aid in carrying
on the work his martyred brother began.
He will have a much easier task, how
ever, for Father Conrardy, Damien's g
assistant; Father Wendolin Moellers and
a number Of brave nuns are now minis
tering to the physical and spiritual wants
of the Molokai lepers. Father Pamphile
is So years Of age, and Belgian. He is
agraduate Of the University Of Lonvain,
and has served there as professor of the
ology for many years. The settlement at
Molokai has been in existence since 1868,
when the awful spread Of leprosy
throughout the Hawaiian group COM
PEELED the government to banish all the
victims Of the disease to the island. No
provision was made for their accommo-
datioD, and they were huddled together
in miserable huts, regardless Of age, sex
or the commonest decency. Their condi-,
tion was wonderfully improved by Fa-
ther Damien.

to adopt the stage as his career. For
three years Woodland roved about the
country with different companies, and
finally reached st. Louis. Every one

proving his health he started across the

and when he finally reached California

clothing was SO tattered and his hair and
whiskers were SO luxuriant, however.
that he was enabled for time to pose
in Sacramento museum as captured
wild man. He then organized cooper
ative theatrical company and made a
great deal Of money playing i'll mining
camps. The company consisted of a
manager, an orchestra. made up of a
single fiddler, and six actors, two wom-
en- and four men. They hung up blue
blankets for wings, dispensed with the
formality of curtain, and produced
such easy plays as Hamlet "Mac-
beth" and 1.-THE Lady of Lyons.
Woodland was always in great demand
as q singer, although, as he remarks, he
couldn't sing little bit" He mod
estly admits, however, that his audi
ences favored him particularly because
he wrote his own songs and made them
up to date. 1t was at this time that he
wrote
My name II is Joe Bowers:

in San Francisco and became popular all
