Hard and Bitter Wills.

It was remarked by writer long ago
that there is no revenge so hard and
bitter as that of an old man," and it is
one of the astonishing perversities Of
many natures that the longer they live
the harder they hug their possessions.
The most disinterested affection is pass
ed over, the most faithful and most val
liable services are slightly and grudg-
ingly rewarded. This mental and moral
disease notably aficts the richest The
Marquis d'Aligre was singular exam
pie. His will was concocted with spe-
cial desire to disappoint and insult his
relatives, friends and servants. To the
first it said: "As for you, my relatives
who have been SO long spelling upon
this fortune on which I had concentrate
ed all my affections, you are not going
to touch a penny of it, and not one Of

squandered the millions which the old

Divorce In Burma,

Suppose a Burmese husband and wife
quarrel and determine to separate The
wife, who always does all the market
ing, goes out and buys two little can
dies of equal length, which are made
especially for this use. She brings them
home. She and her husband sit down
Oh the floor and light them simultane-
ously. One candle stands for him, the
other for her. The one whose candle
burns out first rises and goes out of the
house forever, with nothing but what
he Or she may have Oh. The one whose
candle has survived the longest, even
by second, takes everything. So the
divorce and division Of the property, if
you can call that a division, are settled.

THE PLAINS IN WINTER.
A Journey Across the Continent In Marcel
Is Like q Voyage.

A Journey Across the Continent In March
Is Like Voyage.
The journey across the continent from
like voyage. When one lands at St.
Paul from the overland train, it is with
all the sensations of making port after
having passed over the icebound sea OF
the plains.
The uniform dazzle Of miles of mo-
notonous snow, broken only where it
sinks to indigo shadow or swells to
crests of intolerable light, has for days
given to the world outside the pane a
sentiment of immensely rarely matched
by the moving sea.
= There is majesty in the limitless
sweep of level earth, so slightly over
arched by the level sky, but majesty
that becomes desolation when seen in
intimate relation to human life.
A furry team of horses struggling
across the plains, drawing a meager
sledge load of tirewood along narrow
trail in the snow to some unseen farm
house, alternating through the long
few fierce weeks of summer sunshine; a
little schoolhouse Of unplaned boards
perched on a swell of the vast, silent
landscape; a farmhouse backed by barn
and corral, with tiny yard in front
encircled by a tawdry frill of white
washed paling, showing yellow above
the snowfall these, with miles Of snow
between, pierce one with keener sense
Of loneliness than could any personal
experience
The human element is so inadequate
that one passes these scattered evidences
Of a struggle for life as in a sound ship
one might pass frail craft at sea.
There are eagle minds upon which
this solemn hostility of unconquered
nature acts as challenge; one sees this
in the voice and step and eye of men
who have built Dakota and Montana
towns. Sturdy and unawed, they have
fought their way and wrested for them
selves a foothold on the great inhospi-
table plains.
The level iridescent blaze Of cloud
less winter days, the treeless prairies
afame with color materialized in a
thousand wild flowers, the dreary swells
of autumn brown, lifted here and there
into sharp buttes Of threatening stone
each in its own way impresses the
imagination, but repels the Nesting in.

She Wilted Him.

There is one patron of the North
Pennsylvania street line who has the
reputation Of being most dreadfully dis
agreeable. The conductors say he is a
kicker, and the neighbors say he has the
dyspepsia. Anyway he generally creates
scene wherever he goes, but since a
recent experience he is little particu-
lar, about his conduct on street Car.
He boarded a crowded car at-we]l,
some street between Ohio and Seventh.
The aisle was filled with persons hold
ing on to the straps. He stood for a Sec
ond in the doorway and glowered at
those within. The conductor placed his
hand on the shoulder of the bad tenn
pered man and said:
the doorway" r.
The disagreeable man turned his head
bit and snapped in return:
"Don't get gay. Stop your pushing,
or I'll report .-,
The unfortunate man, while making
this speech to the conductor, did not OBJ
serve that woman was attempting to
pass out. Like many others, he thought
the car had stopped for him alone. But
his Grabbed remarks were cut short by
an energetic shove from the lady passen-
ger. She thought his cutting remarks
were aimed at her, and in a high pitched
voice she replied: - 4. :
"You are insulting, sir, and very un-
gentlemanly. I must get out, and if you
are not enough Of gentleman to allow
me to pass shall do some reporting. ,"
The bad tempered man tried to explain
and apologize, but the woman brushed
past him. All the passengers heard the
remarks and witnessed the incident, and
the disagreeable man looked truly
ashamed. indianapolis Journal. +

SIX PEOPLE KILLED.

GUTHRIE, Ok, April 1s-Couriers just
arrived here from Tishomingo, the
capital of the Chickasaw nation. re-
port that battle is raging between
Gov. Moseley and 200 insurrectionists
Six people have been killed and eight
wounded, SO the report says, and the
greatest excitement prevails. The
cause of the trouble is due to bad po-
itical blood which has long pervaded
the Chickasaw seat of government,
and has existed since the legislature
ousted Willis Brown, Charles Brown
and Noah McGill, who claimed to have
been duly elected sheriffs of the ma
ton, alleging that the legislature did
not have authority to reject their
claims to such offices.
On Tuesday morning Gov. Moseley
issued orders to all sheriffs, constables
and deputies throughout the nation to
report to him at once with arms When
the officers gathered around the house
200 enraged men, headed by McGill
and the Brown brothers. rushed from
adjoining houses and deadly riot fol-
lowed The names of the dead and
wounded could not be ascertained by
the couriers, owing to the great ex-
element which prevailed.
Gov. Moseley and his official retinue
escaped by rushing to houses on the
outskirts of the town. Moseley has
called a special session of the legisla-
ture to take action. Tishomingo is
now in terrible state of excitement,
and white people are fleeing. Another
battle is looked for at any moment
GOVERNMENT ASKED TO INTERFERE.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-A message
was received by the president yester-
day asking that the government inter-
fere in the troubles in the Chickasaw
nation to protect life and property. 1t
was signed by eight leading men of the
Chickasaw nation and represented the
situation at Tishomingo, the capital
of the nation, as critical, owing
to the trou bles between Gov.
Moseley and the Brown faction, the
latter claiming that they were elected
sheriffs of the nation at the last cleo
ton; while the governor is sustaining
a similar claim made by other parties
belonging to his faction. The presi-
dent has given the matter no attention
as yet, but if the troubles continue
some action will no doubt be taken.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-The French
government has sought in vain to pre-
vent the exclusion from the American
mails Of a large number of their news
papers that publish advertisements of
a government lottery scheme. This is
a plan for the placing of bonds I'M
der a system of premiums awarded
by drawings. For the reason
it is governmental institution
and is not an ordinary lottery,
the French government felt the re-
striction should not apply, but upon
investigation the state department
found that the case is precisely similar
to the one decided by the supreme
court of the United States concerning
the bonds issued by the Austrian gov
eminent, and was obliged to reply
that the executive had no power to
suspend the law and that the papers
must be excluded as long as they pub
lished the advertisement

made against me by Mr.. Hicks a few
weeks since on the eve of my sailing for

to the management of my London prop

their information from the housing com

must be his excuse for the absurd state
ment which he makes about my country
