His Knockout Blow.

The greatest heavyweight pugilistic

champions of two continents were at
last face to face in struggle for the
world's belt.
Round after round had passed, and
the issue, so long in doubt, seemed now
to favor the foreigner He had attained
a record of 9,S77 words per minute, and
it was apparent that the American could
not long withstand the strain.
Suddenly the spectators saw the for
eigner hesitate, tremble, stop. In the
silence that followed the American
was heard beginning the thirty-ninth
clause of the forty eighth section of a
hypothetical question.
Before its close his opponent had
fallen insensible to the floor. The bat
tie was won.-IIew York Press.

A PHILOSOPHICAL ROMANCE.
It Was All Very Queer and Ended In a
Most Peculiar Manner.


The theosophical gossips were discuss
ing matters that were of deep interest
to them, including mahatmas, reincar-
nations and things of that sort.
''That Perkins wilkins affair was
very sad one," said the theosophical
gossip in white at last.
81 hadn't heard of it. replied the
one In dark red
Dear mel I thought every one had
heard of that, returned the one IN
white. "Of course you heard Of their
original marriage?''
81 believe so. 1t was in $500 B. O.,
wasn't it?''
Eyes, that was the date. You've
heard Of their devotion ever since then,
too, 1 suppose p"
1--WE heard something of it-that is.
I've heard that they have been married
at every reincarnatiOn.
Precisely" said the one in white.

You see, in the course Of these "a cen
turtles they have grown very devoted TO
each other. -
Naturally"
And they have vowed eternal love
and devotion. -
mot at all surprising.
And they have sworn to marry again
at every succeeding reincarnatiOn. "
Quite likely. But what OF it?'
The one in dark red was becoming
impatient for the details of the sad
affair.
''At the beginning, :" explained the
one in white, Perkins was the woman
and Wilkins was the man. "
You surprise meP' exclaimed the
one in dark red. 81 hadn't heard Of
that "
"Oh, yes; it's common gossip. At
the third reincarnation the sexes in
some way got mixed up, and Perkins be-
came the man and Wilkins the woman.
That was trifie awkward, but it didn' t
interfere with their marital plans to
any serious extent. Now, however,
We'll, what now?''
Now, I have just heard the sad de-
tails of their latest reincarnation, and

relating to typhoid fever. In 1886 the
number of cases of this disease was
7,771, being over IA per 1000; in 1884
it was 1850, being under per 1000; a
reduction obtained by an almost pro-

WHY He DID MOL SHOOT.
The Drummer Had a Good Excuse For
Spsring the Gray Wolf


1--WE were playing cards in the Late
and Early saloon at Pizen Junction one
night, +" said the major, as he called for
some more of the same, land though
none of us knew the others name we
had grown quite sOciable as the evening
wore on. My nearest neighbor was an
eastern man, whom took to be a COM
mercial traveller. In the midst Of the
game the door burst open, and wild
haired old codger in a bearskin coat en-
tered, or rather fell, into the room. He
had a revolver in each hand and had
evidently been loading up heavily all
around. The barkeeper, when he caught
sight of the visitor, let off howl like
wolf and Immediately dropped behind
the bar just in time TO avoid stopping
a bullet which went crashing into a
bottle on the shelf was go astonished
at the sight of this apparition that L
had not noticed the sudden disappear
ance of every one but the drummer and
myself.

then and bumped into the drummer,
who was already there. 1t was far from
safe even in that position, for bullets
were flying around wildly, and 1T would
be miracle if we could elude them all

me a short time before while Dragging
about his ability to shoot.

dare say at the first shot he'll run.
my companion pretended not to
hear, and for the next five minutes we
were occupied trying to fix up barri-
cade between us and the man with the
guns Fortunately the barkeeper had
left the door in the floor open leading
to the cellar. and, just as we hoped, the
gray wolf of the plains, as he called
himself, tumbled into it. / had pres
ence of mind enough to get out of my
retreat and drop the trap and bolt it
Why in thunder didn't you shootP'
I said to the drummer when we had
succeeded in lighting one of the least
broken of the lamps. You might have
saved Us a very unpleasant ten minutes.
