THE CURTAIN FALLS.

Squire Fambrough insisted that his
son should go to the house and look it
over for tho sake of old times, and
young Clopton went along to keep Miss

The others were not gone long. AS
they came back courier was seen rid
ing through the woods at breakneck
speed, going from the Union lines to
those of the Confederatcs and carrying
a white flag. Fitzpatrick hailed him,
and he drew rein long enough to cry
% out as he waved his flag:
"Lee has surrendered!1'

patrick, "but dang me if hadn t ruther
somebody had 'a'shot me right spang in

Lieutenant Clopton took out his pock-
etknife and began to whittle stick.
John Fambrough turned away, and his
sister leaned her hands on his shoulder
and began to weep. Squire Fambrough
rubbed his chin thoughtfully and sighed.

HE JUST STANDS STILL.
That Is His Business, and Ho Makes Fl
For the Crowd.

That Is His Business, and Ho Makes Fun
For the Crowd.
Any man can have lots of fun in this
world if he only knows how to start out
for it. No hard work is necessary. This
is proved by the fact that the man who
probably furnishes more fun for himself
and other folks than any single individ-
ual on or off the stage doesn't do sim
gle thing but stand still.
Probably every man, woman and child
in Chicago has seen standing in front of
a big business house at the corner of
Clark and Madison streets a TALL we'll
green coachman's s livery, white helmet
and white gloves His name is Alphonso
Costello. He was formerly member of
the city police force and has been a pri-
vate detective and constable. His duty
now is really only to attract attention
to the house where he is employed and
to act as usher to patrons who come in
carriages
Some men would get mighty tired
and lonesome with nothing to do but
stand in front of big store all day, but
he doesn't. Whenever time hangs heavi
ly on his hands and he feels the need of
recreation. he strikes statuesque posi-
tion and fixes his eye on the advertise
ment of "sure death to cockroaches"
sign across the street.
The attitude never fails to attract the
attention of passersby. AS soon as one
person stops to satisfy himself whether
sit" is statue or real, live man the
fun begins. Everybody else stops to look
too. The comments of the crowd make
no impression on the figure standing be-
fore it. Then the more inqnisitive-and
that doesn't bar the gentler sex-begin
poking with parasols or their fingers
'to see if the thing will move"
Alphonso catches his breath and an
other crowd. He repeats the trick may
be 20 times day, and it always works
to his satisfaction and that of the clerks
inside. Chicago Inter Ocean.

The Motionless Tiger.

Now and then a soldier has been
found kneeling on the battlefield as if
about to take aim at the enemy, but
stone dead. A bullet in the brain had
converted him into a statue of himself.
Captain Forsyth, in his Highland of
Central India,'' tells of a similar effect
produced by an explosive she'll on a
tiger.
The captain, while in the howdah of
his trained elephant hunting a tiger,
saw the beast crouching under bush
on the bank of ravine. He got steady
shot and fired a three ounce she'll at the
tigers broad forehead.
To his surprise. for the distance was
but 80 yards, there was no result. Not
a motion of the tiger acknowledged the
shot.
He rode round quarter of the circle,
but still the tiger remained motionless,
but looking intently in the same direc-
tion. Growing more and more amazed,
the captain rode nearer, with his rifle
ON full cock, but the tiger did not move.
Then he caused the elephant to kick the
beast. The tiger fell over. He was stone
dead. The she'll had struck him full in
the center of the forehead, burst in his
b1ain and killed him instantly.
