MR.. WAIT AWHILE RAYMOND.
lie Explains How He Came by His
Rather Peculiar Name.

Wayte A. Raymond is a name which
one sees occasionally inscribed upon the
register at the Buttcrhcld There is
nothing peculiar about the name or about
its posscssor, but there is an interesting
story about the way in which the name
was conferred. Mr.. Raymond is n com
mercial traveller who has been coming to
Utica for % years and is one Of the best
known statesmen in the druggists supply
trade. The other afternoon while in
reminiscent mood he related how it came
about that he was named in the way that
he was.

youngest of family Of II children My
parents are both still alive, and in fact,
there has been but one death in our family
for the past 30 years. AS is the custom
with parents. | was no sooner born than
my parents began casting about for
suitable name to hcstow upon me. They
did not find the task an easy one. how
ever, for they had named ! others and
had about exhausted the category. Not
being able to agree upon name for their
last born, it is said that they invited the
ncighbors to make suggestions, but, it
seems, with no better results. | was

mother became impatient and said to my
father: Now it is shameful not to name
this child. Let us agree upon something
at once.
Father, tired Of rehearsnC the list,
replied as he had often done before: oh,
mother don't let's hurry. Wait awhile,
and we will find something that will suit
us both

idea striking her. Wait awhile, We'll,

THE END.
Tbc Wnr Dance.

Among many people of every age
dancing has had warlike significance,
and there are many tribes now that so
resort to the war dance. The famous
Pyrrhic dance represented the overtak-
ing of an enemy and doing battle with
him. Today among the Iulus grant
dances are merely the accompaniment
to the colloQuial war and hunting
songs, i'm which the women put Qucs-
tions which are answered by the men.
There are mimic fights, which go by
the name of war dances, almost uni
VcrSal among tribes to which war IS
one of the great interests of life. The
bravery dance of the Dahomeyans and
the hoolec of the Bhil tribe in the
Nindhya hills of India are the most apt
illustrations.
Nearly all savage tribes have regu-
lar war dance, so that II is scarcely
possible to select one as having Il more
warike significance than the rest. All
the performers appear in fighting cos

conflict, pursuit or defeat There is
one very picturesque dance of the Ma
tai Kafiirs which probably refers to
the departure of the warriors for bat
tie. The women appeal plaintively to
the men, who slowly withdraw, STAMP

was visited by tornado with singular
effects. Unlike similar phenomena,
this was to the inhabitants a provi-
dental deliverance from pest which
threatened their economic ruin. Some
time previously the FOrmica sacchari-
Nora, species of ant, appeared in
such numbers as to make the annihila-
tion of the sugar cane n question of 4
few weeks only. After in vain trying
many eXpedients and offering large re-
wards for a remedy against the plague,
the helpless people resolved to aban-

themselves to another island. BY this
famous tempest Providence accom-

with all his appliances, had failed to
overcome. The ant was exterminated

CUApTER X.

TrnFERT DAhtHNr PROPOSES A TOAST.
Herbert Iarrent hao lett Astray
hrcyed mp win hope. Together they
had gone page by page through old
Marsden diary and together had come
to the conclusion that here ut last was
something like the ,'ath
Astray was eTult@nt III what he called
the iVu establishment o. his innocence,
bat Darrent'L enthusiasm was little
less pronounced. lie recognized that
wmle there was undoubtedly much in
the diary that was true there was also
much that revealed nothing but the
wanderin@sof an en'eehlod intellect and
that in any cndeavor to get the sentence
passed upon ANtray MWsoen revoked
there would be the greatest difficulty to
persuade the governor where the truth
ended and imagination commenced If
Josiah Marsden dreamed that he had
killed his enemy. the man who logged
ms footsteps through Europe and had
chromcled rs fact IN ms diary thar he
had done 80, when it could be conclu-
FYely proYal that at the date SET down
ne mad not been away from Norcombe'
HIS, 1t was equally possible that the
final entry the one that SAID that
Astray had been and gone, might also
be REGARDED as the outcome Of a dream
and Darrent was bound to own this
possibility to himself, although he now
thoroughly believed IN the innocence OF
the man-that Astray might have re-
turned.
He felt that Astray was innocent,
and yet if Aatray had not committed
the murder, who had? Was it a stran-
ger, perhaps a tramp, after all?
II would be hard, very hard TO make
the cool headed governor believe that a
man who had been stabbed had in the
throcs of death written, II am diving.

This is the advice which the New

wanted to know how to increase his
height by three inches. In the first
place, eat beans. They have an up

their parents are long or short. PEG.
pie who live on turnips, the broad, fat
variety, generally partake of the ma

rotund and dropsical If beans do not
aid your stature try tying cannon
