NERVE ENOUGH foR ANYTHING.

A BOY Who Could Not Be Frightened by .
DispIeased Corpse or Professors Tricks,
DR.. McTavish of Edinburgh was some
thing Of q ventriloquist, and it befeD
that he wanted a lad to assist in the
surgery who must necessarily be Of
strong nerves. He received several ap
plications, and when telling a lad what
The duties were, in order to test his
nerves, he would say, while pointing TO
grinning skeleton standing upright in
o corner, Part of your work would DO
30 feed the skeleton there, and while
you are here you may as well try to do
go''
A few lads would consent to trial
and received basin of hot cruel and a
spoon. While they were pouring the
hot mess into the skull the doctor would
throw his voice so as to make it appear
to proceed from the jaws of the bony
customer and gurgle out, "Br-r-r-gr- uh
that's hotP'
This was too much, and without ex.
oeption the lads dropped the basin and
bolted. The doctor began to despair of
ever getting suitable helpmate until
small boy came and was given the cruel
and spoon.
After the first spoonful the skeleton
appeared to say, "Gr-r-r-uh-r-br, that's
hotI'
Shoveling in the scalding Cruel as
fast as ever, the lad raped the skull
and impatiently retorted, well, blow
it, carn't yer, yer ould bony"
The doctor sat down in his chair and
fairly reared, but when he came to he
engaged the lad on the spot.-Londou

Some Facts concerning That LumbeTins

but Picturesque Vehicle.
One would scarcely expect to find OK
carts made in this city, but they ars
made here by one man afacturer as part
Of a general wagon making business.
The sale of OK carts in this country is
decreasing. Here the use of them has
always in large measure been confined
TO the rough and billy farms of the New
England and middle states, and even in
those states they are now giving way to
carts and wagons drawn by horses. Old
farmers brought up to use OK carts con-
tinue to use them, but their sons donok
The younger men buy not oxen. but
horses, not OK carts, but wagons and
horse carts. How much of this change
is due to the fact that the stony, billy
lands are now pretty well cleared and
that oxen are less needed for blowing,
how much is due to the spirit of the
age with its quicker movesasnt in ali
Che fields of labor, how much to a great
sr inclination toward luxury, it might
be difficult to say, but the OK cart is
passing away. It is still used, however,
10 some extent. It may be met perhaps
u the haying field, perhaps under the
spreading elms at the village black
smiths shop The cart met amid such
surroundings is quite as likely to have
been made in the city as in the country,
for they are all substantially alike.
The only important changes that have
been made in OK carts in many years
have been the substitution of iron for
wooden axles and the broadening of the
face of the Wheel All OK carts are nov
built with iron axles and 4 inch tires
New York city built OK carts are sold
in western Connecticut, In western
Massachusetts and in New York, and
occasionally in remoter parts of this
country. There is steady demand for
them from the planters of the West In,
dies and of Central and South America.
An OK cart costs about $10O.--Nev

Not Today.

An English lady, travelling in New
Zealand, wakes enthusiastic over the
beauties of the country, especially in ite
mountainous parts. She tells a funny
little story about the sharp witted driver
Of the public coach in which she made
some of her expeditions.
At one point, where the steep road
overhangs the river, Davis, the driver,
always took the opportunity to tighten
the load for his horses.
Gentlemen, he would say in an
insinuating tone, "the Prince of Wales
always gets out and walks here y
1t is to be presumed that he had usu-
ally found his fares" quite ready to
follow in the footsteps of SO distin-
guished a predecessor, but one day a
man, who had already heard the speech
more than once, stole a march upon the
willy Davis. The ground was wet, and
the passenger was not in a mood fol
climbing. so as they approached the
spot he anticipated the drivers hint by
remarking;
"Davis, the Prince of Wales isn't go.

Fair Play For Lady Somerset.

It stands to reason that newspapers to

only interesting type of womanhood ara
finding the amiable Lady Henry Somer.
set, brilliant as she is something of an
ogre and bore. 1t is a saddening test OF
the taste and character controlling
American journalists today in our cities.
Miss Willard says that the current par
agraphs about this brave and brilliant
English woman so called Crusade" in
this country are very nearly cruel to a
woman who came to this country avow
eddy to study quietly our customs and
politics, and with no intention to in
struct whole country or to attack any
thing. When the New York reporters
fiocked about Lady Henry Somerset on
her arrival and quizzed her, she spoke
Of the recent crusades in London against
iagrant indecencies in low class thea
tiers, and expressed her hearty wish that
all such evils might be abated on both
sides Of the sea. At once it was said,
and it has been ceaselessly repeated, that
Lady Henry came here to organize
crusade, to cultivate a fad, and SO forth
She is certainly deeply and practical
" interested in all that has any relation
to highest cultivation and freedom of
humanity, and she is daily found in good
works, now at a convention, now at
meeting at Mrs. Bulls house, and she
speaks on suffrage whenever she can be
of service to the cause that she and Miss
Willard have at heart. Titles are, how
ever, a sort of natural romantic bait to
our democracy, and fiercer light than
ever beat upon native born reformer
like Miss Willard inevitably falls upon
the lady who is associated with her.
The American press has long ago accept
ed and honored the exceptional and in
sellectuaI ability and rare devotion to
public ends of Miss Willard, and it is
with pleasure that in her name we ask
of it fair play and gentler courtesy for
that most interesting and admirable ex-
ample of the new woman, in the best
sense of that abused term, Lady Henry
Somerset.

Jim French and the Kid, Remain.
ing Members OF the Cook Gang
Killed at CatoOsA.

NEOsHo, Mo-, Feb. S.-Last night
Jim French and Verdigris Kid, the
remaining members of the notorious
Cook gang, undertook to rob the
store of c. w. Patton & Co. at Catoo-
"a. |, T., which ended in the killing
of both of them and fatally woundiRg
of S. B. Irvine, the manager of Pat
ton & Co.'S store. French and the
Kid rode into the town and went to
the hotel and found a travelling man
and blacksmith trying to keep warm
during the coldest night in the sea-
son. They marched them out doors
without overcoats or hats, and told
them to do as they bid. They then
marched them to PattOn's large store
and told them to raise the window in
the rear of the building.
Verdigris Kid remained in front
and began shooting through the door.
Mack Williams, a cowboy from Texas,
who had only arrived in town during
the day, and who was asleep in the
store with Irvine, opened the door,
and as he did so fired the contents of
lot gun into the Kid. At the same
time Irvine shot at the Kid, his shot
also taking effect. French who was
at the rear window, saw him fall, and
surprising Irvine had shot him, at
once shot Irvine through the back,
the bail passing through his body.
Seeing the fash through the window.
Williams shot the remaining load in
gun through the rear window and
hid Ills gun, and made French, who
came in The store then, believe he
had no arms and had done shooting.
He helped French lay the Kid upon
the counter, and French then helped
him lay Irvine on bed in the rear
of tbs store. Ffench told Irvine he
was going to kill him for killing his
partner, but turned a second to re-
lieve Williams of a watch when the

TERRITORY COURTS.
Indian Appropriation Committee
Refused the Morgan Amend
meat. sem Hopeful.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-The commit
tee on appropriations, which has in
hand the Indian appropriation bill
and to which was referred the Morgan
amendment providing for the est
lishment OF three federal courts in
the Indian Territory with complete
Jurisdiction over that country, refuses
to put such amendment in the bin.
The amendment is so far reaching in
its pup0ses that the appropriation bill
does not want TO handle IL. Another
reason why this committee refuses to
have anything to doRith the amend
ment is that il fears the president
may object to the amendment be-
cause Of its ultimate purpose TO de-
stroy the tribal relations and thereby
violate the treaty with the Indians
and veto the appropriation bill.- The
next move will be TO put the Morgan
amendment in the Teller bill, which
provides for more courts in the terri
tory. III the president does not inter
pose a veto the chances are that the
/ Moran amendment will finally be-
come law. Its advocates have al
ready offered TO leave the courts al
Paris and Fort Smith as far as their
jurisdiction is concerned undisturbed
for eighteen months and after that
time permit them to dispose Of all
the cases on their docketS. This
would give these courts at least two
years more of Indian business and the
/ friends Of these courts seem to think
this is the best that can be done. As
has been said in these dispatches the
tribal relations in the territory and
the Indian Jurisdiction Of the Pari;
and Fort Smith courts are doomed.
