SAD REPORT.
Fears that Commissioner Butler
is Buried in a Snowslide.

The treacherous SHOWS Of Bald mountain have
probably claimed another victim in the person OF Hon
George T. Butler OF Atlanta. He left this place for
his home, Fastening to again join his wife, children
and friends last Friday Notwithstanding at Rocky
Bar Saturday evening. Securing pair Of snowshoes
he left Rocky Bar early Sunday morning for Atlanta
Will Tate, the mail carrier, the same morning de-
parted from Atlanta for Rocky Bar. When at point
on the side Of Bald mountain, at the head of Black
Warrior gulch, Mr. Tate heard the laundering sound
usually made by snowslide and halted just in time
TO prevent being captured by mighty avalanche.
Alter the slide had passed, he proceeded ON and at
the opposite side of the clearance made by the slide
he observed fresh snowshoe tracks, which excited his
suspicion and wonder for the safety OF unknown
traveller. He, however, proceeded on his journey,
and after going few miles he met John Holland,
on his way TO Atlanta, TO whom he related his expe-
rience. Holland knowing that Butler had left Rocky
Bar early that morning. asked Tate where he met
him, and upon Tate replying that ne had not seen
Butler, they both feared that Butler lost in the
avalanche and each went his way to report the sad
circumstances Searching parties Immediately
organized at each Of the towns to proceed to the
and at least determine the facts To-nights
stage will probably bring definite news-meantime

AT CROSS-PURPOSES.

Whenever new soldier appeared in the
guards of Frederick, the Great, of Prussia,
it was the habit of the King to ask him the
three following questions; ''How old are
vice? Are you satisfied with your pay and
treatment?' 1t once happened that a
young French soldier, who had served in
his own country, expressed IA wish to join
the Prussian army, aud, bscause of his
splendid development, he was at once ac
copied. He was unable to speak a single
word OF the German language, hut his
captain told him that the King was certain
to ask him questions in that language the
first time he saw him, and he advised him,
therefore, to learn by heart the proper re-
plies to the usual three questions of his
Majesty The soldier lost no time in learn
ing them, and on the first day that he made
his appearance in the ranks Frederick APP
preached to interrogate him. 1t so hap
pened, however, that the King began with
the second question first, and asked him
GLOW long have you been in my SCI
vice?'
Twenty. one years, answered the young
man.
His youth sufficiently indicated that he
had not carried gun for any such length
of time as that, and his Majesty, greatly
astonIshed, said
GLOW old are you?"
Zone year, ant please your Majesty"
The King, still further amazed, ex-
claimed:
''You or must certainly be bereft of
our sensesW
The soldier, of course, taking this for the
third question, and glad that the ordeal
was over so easily, replied:
Both, ant please your Majesty"
"This is the first time was ever treated
as mailman at the head of my army"
replied Frederick, greatly puzzled.
The Ttcuc'u,un, mhrsc s.ocn Of German
was now used up, stood quiet Presently
the King spoke to him again, whereupon
the soldier blurted out in French that he
did not understand single word of Ger
man. The King, who had been much an
noycd, was now greatly amused, and after
urging upon him the necessity Of doing
his duty, left him.-lIarper's Round Table

WHAT FLATTERY WILL DO.

1t was the afternoon of the club meeting,
and the girl who prides herself on the
earnestness of her aims and objects in life
ci",c Ito the room w.5n the light uf a
noble resolve clarifying her countenance.
1--WE been reading the lovelest book in
the world, girls she exclaimed, enthu-
siastcally, ''and henceforth | shall never
ilatfer or deceive anybody. The author
says that tiatrcry is the worst Of sins, and
that"
"Tell us your experience next week. -
interrupted the sarcastic maiden, grimly.
''Th;-r will be lot more intc, esting tAan
an account of the books preachngs, and
besides" But the earnest girl had flown
off in Indignation. And she was decidedly
meek and crestfallen when next the club
members met.
"You needn't laugh she remarked to
the sarcastic maiden, who was grinning
expectantly, "for believe what the book
said was true, only we're not sufficiently
developed to live by such an elevated
standard. You know, | said | should
never ilatter anybody again in all my life
Well that was last week. Now Pm going
to fatter everybody. Pve had enough of
plain speaking to last me lifetime. Last
Monday ] told mamma she was getting
crows feet, when knew she wanted me
to say she wasn't. Next day Mamie ask ed
me how old thought she looked and
told her honestly. Msmma hasn't got over
being vexed with me yet, and as for Mamie,
l don't suppose she'll ever speak to me
again.
"Wednesday our pastor called and
wanted my honest opinion Of his last ser
