TWO BLONOS.
One of Them Was Impolite, but the Other
One Got Even.

One of Them Was ImpOlite, but the Other
One Got Even.
A sallow little blond entered an
electric car and sat down effusively by
a very handsome blond with brown
eyes.
"Oh, Harriet! / am so glad to see
you'll I've had so many engagements
lately that l see nothing of you. How
have you been?''
Much as usual" answered the
brown eyed blond.
"Are you going to the - little
Lenten dance?"
"NO"
"You aren't! Why, everybody is 60
ing"
''It will be very pOpulOus dance.
''But why aren't you going?"
A shade Of annoyance passed over the
brown eyed blond's face, but she an
swered simply, because I'm not in
vited. F"
"Oh, that's too bad! I'm so sorry you
were left out. And they seemed to have
gone into the highways and hedges,
too from what l can hear. I'm going
to wear violet silk "
81 think you might wear violet silk, "
said the brown eyed blond gently but
distinctly, turning a searching gaze
upon her companions complexion, eff
you put on plenty Of powder. You are
determined TO wear violet silk?'
81 thought think stammered
the other woman, reddening through
her sallOwnCSS.
"Then be sure to remember my adj
vice and put on plenty of powder-yes,
1 think in that case you might venture
to wear violet silk" "
The sallow blond did not say anoth-
er word, but sat over Ostentatiously and
gave newcomer a seat. Perhaps sh9
had not meant to be rude, with her sor-
row and her highways and hedges. But
people were smiling around her, secret
ly glad, as we cannot help being, of
witnessing the neat pat with which a
skilled 'fencer drops roistering and

RIDING ON A 6oCH.
The Steed Which Cyclone Furnished an
Impromptu Traveller.

Christian Van den Harvner, familiar
" known in Celina, O., as Cyclone
Johnny, is perhaps the only man living
that enjoys the unique distinction of
having ridden a cyclone astride house
door for a distance of over a quarter of
mile. This remarkable feat was pCr-
formed not as matter of choice, but
perfOrce of necessity by the above NAM
ed person when the cyclone swept across
Celina in May, 1886.
Cyclone JOhnny's description of the
cyclone is graphic and thrilling. He
was living at the time eight miles west
of Celina, and on the night of the cy-
clone he and Mr.. Bryan's family were
watching the raging of the storm in the
west. The electric display was wonder
full, and to him it seemed as though the
world was about to come to ,n end by
fire. The flashes were so brilliant that
the eyes could not withstand them. The
family became alarmed and decided to
go TO the cellar for safety. The cellar
was directly underneath the porch, on
the west side of the house, and Harvner
assisted IN getting the children TO this
place Of safety, and he was the last one
to leave the house. Just as he stepped
upon the porch and before he released
his hold upon the doorknob the storm
swept down upon him in all its fury.
He went sailing through the air, over
the tops of trees, the uppermost branch
es of which tore his clothes from his
body. The gait he travelled was terrific,
and it seemed but a second from the
time he started until he found himself
safely dropped into large field unin-
jured, save for the scratches inflicted
upon him as he sailed over the top of the
trees. This field was a little over quar-
ter of mile from Mr.. Bryan house,
and Harvner wandered around in the
darkness and driving rain until he met
a searching party, among whom was
Mr.. Bryan, who, together with his en-
tire family, were saved by their oppor-
tune fight TO the cellar.-Cincinnat

MILITARY INCIDENTS.
Accident to Major McKcc--rocuIiar
Case of Gen. 4. Bow noughcrty.

Concerning the accident to Major
Mckee, Of the Ninth regiment. T. p.
Ryder the Wilkes Barre Records cor
respondent at Chickamauga Park, says
under date of June /:
The greatest spectacle ever witnessed
on this historic ncld since the Federal
and Confederate forces met in deadly
conflict was the division dress parade,
which was held on Kclley's field yester-
day OIninE. The entire division was
in force and as most of the men were
newly equipped they presented an i'm
pressiVe appearance. But the scene was
marrtd by most unfortunate accident
which happened to the troops when re-
turning. AS the Ninth regiment was en-
tering camp the mounted officers spurred
ahead. Major Mckee, Of the Second hat
TALON was with them and they were go-
ing at lively pace, Directly in front
Of the major were two trees growing
close together
The horse tried to get between them,
but Major Mckee, knowing the space TO
be too narrow, Ieigning the horse to one
side, the animal swcrVed suddenly and
the major lost his balance as the horse
swept by the tree. Its rider was leaning
over to one side and before he could re-
cover himself he struck the trunk and
was thrown violently TO the ground. The
entire staff and Surgeons Weaver and
Stewart were there in moment and the
major was perfectly conscious when car
ricd to his tent The surgeons were re-
lievcd, however To find that he escaped
with a couple of broken ribs and a cash
on the nose. As / write this he is chat
ting with some friends in his tent, al
though the pain at times makes him
vince. His fine constitution will bring
him to his feet again in short time.
owing to the disability of Major Mckee,
Captain Flannery, of Company H. who
is the senior captain of the regiment, is
acting as major Of the Second battal-
ion.
There is a good deal of dissatisfaction
among the men owing to the irregu-
larlty of the fresh meat and the fresh
bread supply, and the disgusting resu-
larity with which they are fed salt pork
and hard tack. The majority OF them are
not used to such fare ana many are un-
able TO eat the pork,

who was reduced from sergeant major
of the Ninth regiment to private by
Colonel G. Bow DOugherty, of the
Ninth, who is now an acting brgadier

ter in his daily correspondence to the

storm Of wrath that was about 20 break

In a voice husky and tense with pas
sion, the general invited me to a seat,
when, from clipping some one had been
kind enough to forward him, he began
reading aloud the article l had written
for the Times day or two ago. His an
ger was so great as To seriously affect
his articulation but he finally finished
even to the reading of my name, which
was attached. Turning terrific glance
upon me he then demanded: Did you
