Criticised the Cooking and Nearly Lost
His Life.
II was in a little village in the south
ern part of Humboldt county, Cal,
short time ago." related a travelling
man, "and was sitting on dry goods
box in front of the only store in the
place trying to sell the proprietor a bill
of goods, when we observed a bare
headed man tearing down the trail a
quarter of q mile up the mountain.
Wonder what's arter im,' unused
the storekeeper, as he stopped the prog
ress of his jackknife in the middle Of n
single.
Bang! went a rife, and little cloud
of dust few up behind the man who was
running. He jumped about ten feet
sideways, let out yell and then came
aoundering down the trail. Bang!
went another shot, and bunch of
leaves dropped from bush over his
head. Then we saw a grizzled old
mountaineer a couple of hundred yards
up the mountain in hot pursuit. Every
time he caught sight of the fleeing man
he stopped and took shot at him. A
couple of minutes later San Francisco
attorney staggered into the store and
begged for protection.
Whats the matterT asked the
storekeeper.
"'He's trying-to murder-me!
gasped the attorney, as he crawled un-
der counter.
THE storekeeper locked the doors
Just as the pursuer came up.
Whats the trouble, Ike| he in
qlIired through chink of the door.

'Old Ike was pacified with bottle of

Pullman Car Charges.

Galveston Tribune.
The decline in the market value
OF shares in the Pullman Palace
Car company, which has been
quite marked Of late, is attributed
to the agitation of the question Of
lower rates for sleeping car accom-.
modations, which reductions may
be secured through the medium Of
nationa legislation.
This Is the state ment of Pullman
palace car people, who are siren
uously opposed to any reduction
In the rates which they have so
long been permitted to exact Of
their patrons. They insist that
there is no merit in the con tention
that q difference should be made
in the price demanded for upper
and lower berths, though it is ad.
mitted that upper berths are not
in demand until all the lower
ones have been engaged. They as
sumo that their patrons should
be required to pay as much for
second-class as for the first. class
accommodations, for dernier re-
sort as for a first choice. This is
contrary to reason and fairness.
1t is the exaction OF a monopoly
which has heretofore had things
30 much its own way that it could
snap its fingers at the protests Of
the travelling public. II this cor
poration is made to understand
that its rates can be regulated as
are those OF other departments of
railroad transportation, it will be
greatly to the advantage of the
travelling public.

from that elevated to the Office of as
sistant doorkeeper, which position he
has filled until he has come to be as
much a fixture in the chamber as the
marble clock which, according to cap
itol gossip, he was wont to turn back
at the end of each March session, when
some special legislation was desired to
be completed. His duties embrace the
general housekeeping of the senate,
the seating of the members and the
actual police work of the sergeant-at-
arms, when that official is called upon
to act in that capacity. 1t was in that
capacity that in his younger days he
had to face the only revolver, save one,
that has ever been drawn in the senate.
It was in the hands of senator from
one of the small states, who, being very
much intoxicated, was raising a row,
and the sergeant-at-arms was finally
ordered to take him into custody.
When "Bully" Brooks made his mem
orable assault on Charles Sumner, it
was Mr.. Bassett who assisted the Mas
sachusetts statesman to the cloakroom,
assisted to battle his wounds and pre-
pare him for removal to his home.
Persons who have visited the senate
chamber any time within the last quar-
ter of century have noticed pleas
ant-faced old gentleman with white
hair and beard, the former curled care
fully in a roll, who sat at the left of
the presiding officer. When a message
was received from the president of the
United States or from the house of rep
resentatives it was he who announced
the fact to the senate. Although he has
performed this duty for years, he in
variably made as much fuss over it
as though it was his first attempt. His
face would turn scarlet, and, as he
bowed his head to the presiding officer,
there was culver in his voice as he
uttered the stereotyped formula. This
was accompanied by hesitancy of
speech, as if uncertain whether or not
his remarks would fall on appreciative
ears. Capt. Bassett has been the re-
cipient of numerous marks of esteem
from the senators. On the anniversary
of his 5Oth year of service he was pre-
scented with a beautiful silver snuff
box, the presentation being made by
the presiding officer. In 1876, on his
birthday, an oil painting of himself
was presented to him, accompanied by
letter signed by Senator Anthony, ION
behalf of the members of the senate,
irrespective of party" and on the oc-
casion of his golden wedding he was
presented with handsome silver sal
yer.

WHY MEN STAND.
Complex Mechanism Renders 1t Possible
But the Attitude Is Not Normal

Complex Mechanism Renders 1t Poss ible
But the Attitude Is Not Normal
We are so accustomed to standing up
right as a natural attitude that few of
us think what special complex mech
anism is required for this purpose.
A moments consideration will show
that the ordinary explanation of the
erect position (the center of gravity to
be directly above the feet) is INSULT
cient. When man is suddenly shot,
whether from the front or behind, he
drops on his face, for the truth is that
there is much more weight in the front
of the spinal column than behind it.
The fact is that when we are standing
a large number of powerful muscles
Cboth front and back are simultane-
ously at work, the effects of their ac-
ton being to neutralize each other.
Thus, the legs would fall forward were
it not that they are kept vertical on the
feet by the strong tendon (the
"Achilles") at the back of the heel. At
the same time the muscles of the thigh
are frightened so as TO prevent us taking
sitting position, and the muscles OF
the back are pulled tense so that the
trunk does not stoop forward. The
head is prevented from dropping on the
chest by the ligaments in the nape of
the neck. That the upright is not its
normal position is easily shown by the
fact that a man mods as he falls asleep;
for as soon as the controlling nervous
force is deadened the head drops for
ward by its own weight, only to be
pulled back in position again with a
Jerk when the brain becomes suddenly
aware of an unusual attitude.-Scottish
American.

What Will be the Price !

There are two matters that are
now troubling the minds of the
cotton planters, and they are, what
is going to be the price OF cotton this
year? and tho other how mnr|l
will the oil mills pay for the seed
they will buy? Everything at
this time points to a fair price at
least for The cotton crop of 1S96'97,
but there is nothing indicative Of
what the maximum, or even the
average, price is going to be for
seed. The planters are anxious
that the latter problem should be
settled in a definite and permanent
manner, while they are willing to
take their chances on the price of
the staple. In some localities the
producers are talking of holding
