Their with her remarks Mr.. Culver
showed sings of real anxiety and arose
to his feet.
''Miss Susanna" he exclaimed, .'don't
say another word. Really, I cannot
listen to it, 3
But must say it to you," she in
sisted, because, as it seemed to her, that
was the proper way to conduct sue
cessful courtship, and now that she had
begun it She most decidedly wished it
to be successful.
Il tell you won't hear it. This is
entirely unexpected, and I am sure
nothing in my conduct has ever war
ranted you in broaching this subject
to me-" st
Mr.. Culver was very evidently in
earnest, and Susanna almost chuckled
to herself, for this was the very way
young women acted under the circum-
stances in which Mr.. Culver was placed.
All it needed now was a little more
coaxing, and Susanna nerved herself
for the final pop. 1f
Perhaps you have not thought so,n
she said in her scftest voice, "but to me
there has ever been desire to say to
you what am now saying. Mr.. Gull
ver-John," and Susanna came very
close to him, notwithstanding she was
so nervous she hardly knew what to do.
"Hold on, Susanna, hold on" he ex-
claimed. "Confound it," (that shocked
her, for she knew no girl ever talked
that way under such circumstances,
however much she must have thought
it). II don't want you to be talking
in any other woman's interest. There
is only one woman in the world that
want, and-and- and Mr.. Gull
yer was getting nervous himself now
and Susanna gasred. "And-oh, Sus-
anna," he said, desperately, "don't you
know that womanis you? You, Susan
ma. Don't you know it is you?"
Mr.. Culver caught Susanna's two
hands in his and looked into her eyes
with such pleading, pathetic, intense
sincerity that all her plans were con-
sumed like straw in fierce blaze and
she simply tumbled into his arms and
let him finish the proposal she thought
she had begun in such a mastery man
ner.
And Mr.. Culver finished it with gilt

NAVIGATING MONKEY INA RAGE.
Attacks a Trainer, Slaps Dog and Yanks
Claws Out Of q Leopard.

Attacks a Trainer, Slaps a Dog and Yanks
Claws Out Of q Leopard.
One of the worst of man-eating mon
keys ever brought to this country was
received by Daniel Burns, the dealer in
animals at 16S South street, New York
city, the other day. The monkey ar
rived from India in consignment of
4C specimens of Simian breeds and is
intended for exhibition purposes. He
has face similar to Johanna's, except
that it is white, and instead of teeth
for incisors has two fangs over an inch
long. Separating him from a number
of one-eighth-inch wire. During the
voyage he managed to tear the screen
from it's fastenings and before the man
in charge could stop him he had killed
four large ring-tailed monkeys.
When an effort was made by young
Rurns, who is a trainer of beasts, to
take him from his cage the animal, with
the strength: of a gorilla, tore Burns
hands from about his throat and sunk
his fangs into one of them. AS young
Burns let go his hold the monkey
jumped from the cage and made dash
for the rear of the store A terrier
that has been trained to watch all sorts
Of animals made for him, only to be
slapped to standstill in a few seconds.
The monkey then perched upon the top
Of q leopard's cage, and as the leopard
stuck out paw seized it and tore the
claws from it.
He was finally knocked senseiess by
a blow on the head with an iron feed
ing fork and put into cage. He will
probably be placed on exhibition in
Central park for short while before
being shipped west. He stands about
four feet high, is a bunch of muscles,
has the strength of a gorilla, but weighs
about one-half as much as Johanna or
the late Chico.

handle and the other provided with a
stud or spur for the butt of the spear
to rest against. It is used thus:
Grasping the handle as he would a
sword, the man fits the shaft of the
spear into the groove, with the butt
resting against the stud, steadying the
spear with the finger. Then, extending
his arm and bending back his hand till
the spear lies horizontal, he aims at the
mark and propels the weapon by a
quick forward jerk of the stick. In this
way I have seen the Eskimo boys cast

Nebraska has been termed the
"Blackwater state" The explanation
of this poetical nickname is found in
the fact that the water of the princi-
pal streams is as dark as that of the
rivers flowing from the Dogs of Ire
land. The soil Of Nebraska is very rich
and loamy, and It is said there are peat
beds in the state, the statement being
apparently confirmed by the color Of
the water, which is caused by the pres.
ence Of organic matter.
