Il Cherokee who drew at TahleGuah
recently for himself. his wife and his
children quite Il large sum of money in
fall discharge of his personal interest
In the Cherokee strip came neal losing
every dollar of it before returning
home. One day when the distribution
was exceptionally heavy two very spec
ulat1ve recipients were standing to-
Gether near the post Office. \ boy was
seen coming along the street on Il
Jucking pony. For 50 young Il boy he
held his seat well, but it seemed ex-
cceding probable to the onlOokcrS that
before he got the pony home he would
either be thrown or would have 20 get
off The two Indians discussed the
proposition with much excitement. and
finally one nan bet the other the en-
Tire government per capita that the
boy would be thrown before he got
past them.
The bet WIS accepted with vicious
ea%erness, and as they watched the
antics Of the pony a il whirled round,
bucled. sat down on it. launches. and
did everything else that was cver
known to Il trick horse. they almost
came to blows in the excitement Of
their argument. Finally the horse,
despairing Of any other means of get
ting rid Of its rider, leaped in the air
and fell on its side. knocking half the
lie ont of the boy. and then rolling
completely over him. An alteration,
OF course followed As to which had
won the bet. The pIucky boy hung on
to the horn Of his saddle. although APP
pareutly fatally injured. He neither
fell off nor got of, but was lifted off

who rushed quickly to the rescue. Eff
forts We're made to quiet the two In
dams, and the suggestion that the bet
be declared of was freely made. As
each man declined to pay the other,
this was the final outcome of the af-
fair; but the wagering of such a COM
paratively large sum over such an in
significant event shows that specula-

OLD Blue CHINA.

One of the Component Parts of a De-
lfEhtful Picture.
From ths New York Herald So. ..s...,
When Whistler made a marvel of beauty
of his dining room by decorating the walls
with old blue china there was a revival of
interest in azure-tinted ware throughout
the length and breadth Of England, but In
America the admiration for "old blue
Gates from the colonial period, and has
neither waned nor renewed its intensity
from modern fads.
There is quite u difference, however,
among amateur connoisseurs as to the rel
alive artistic merits of the va.ious depths
in tone. some claiming that the pale tint
of the old floating blue the early Wedge
wood and of the willow ware used by our
grandmothers, lends itself to harmonious
blending with It's surroundings, while 9TH
ers claim the exclusive merit of beauty for
the deep blue Of the Statfordshire ware, III
which are made the now rather scarce and
rare Lafayette plates1 the "B. and .. Rail-

From LIE Littoral.

From LIE Littoral. 90. -as.
The inhabitants of the south of France
enjoy nothing so much as taking the rise
out of the Parisans-"epater les Parisien-
gues." as they term it. A ratepayer in the
Commune Of Sales du Garden Department
of the Card has sent up a petition to the
chamber Of deputies. petition which is be-
ing largely commented upon by the chron-
iquers of the Paris press. In the said petit
tion-which. by the way, is numerously
signed-M. Plagnol demands theolegal abo-
lition of the corset or, at least, the impo-
sition of tax on this implement of torture.
According to article 63 of the rules of pro-
cedure the petition will have to go before
committee of members, who are not likely
to report favorably, as their wives may
have a word to say on the subject. The
staymakers are treating the whole affair
with a smile of contemptuous pity. In
Paris alone this industry affords employ
ment to. ntnety-eight large manufacturers
and 42O dealers or makers to measure.

Lieutenant B., who carried the lantern,
looked at his watch by it's light and an
nounced that they had Just three minutes
to spare. The door was unlocked with diff
nculty, for the fastenings had grown rusty
from disuse.
by Georger' cried the first man who
stepped into the hall. there's something
going on upstairs?'
It's A." said his friend. laughing, and
they all started upstairs, Mr.. B. walking
ahead with the lantern.
Another Tragedy.
A cry Of agonized despair startled the
smiles from their lips and quickened their
steps to run. B. pushed open the door
OF the room from which the sounds had
come. As he did so. and before he could
see anything, the lantern was dashed from
his hand and the door slammed behind
him. He stood still in the darkness for
a Few awful, terror-stricken seconds Then
he took step forward and tripped over
something on the floor. He stopped over,
and his hand encountered a pool of warm,
oozing liquid. 1t flashed on his mind that
this was blood and that the thing he had
stumbled over was a mans body. His
heart almost stopped beating. He was
AFRAID to move. afraid to breathe. The in
stants during which his friends in the hall
were striking light and opening the door
seemed an eternity. Lieut.. B. is now the
gray-haired father of a family, but he
says the horror of that moment is as fresh
as though it had all happened yesterday.
At last the door was opened. The young
men crowded in with their candles. There
at their feet lay poor A. with the Malay
knife in his heart!
Explanations are always an anti-climax.
But the explanation of the foregoing trag-
edy is too curious to omit, though its pre-
tentions to being ghost story are thereby
destroyed. After this second murder the
authorities were aroused to a display Of
tardy activity. The house was carefully
searched and the discovery made that the

staircases and storage chambers. One of
these secret doors accounted for the muir
derer's escape and his return to get the
knife. which he evidently felt would be a
dangerous clue In the secret chambers
were found considerable supply of arms
and a large quantity of valuables Of the
most varied description. 1t was evident
that the place had been used as a refuge
and store house by Chinese pirates, its
proximity to the water making it the more
convenient. The owner of the knife and
some members of his gang were subse-
quently captured and put to death.
