cuater,. Joke on Osborn.

The late Charles Osborn, the New
York broker, and Gen. Custer were in
innate friends, and Osborn annually
visited the general at his camp on the
plains. During one of the Indian cam
paigns he invited Osborn and a party
of friends out to Kansas, and after
giving them a buffalo hunt. arranged
a novel experience In the way of an
Indian scare. AS Osborn was lying in
his tent one night firing was heard at
the outposts and the rapid riding Of the
pickets. Boots and saddles" was the
order in the disturbed atmosphere of
the night, and Custer appeared to Os-
born loaded with rifle, two revolvers, a
sabre and scalping knife.
Charlie" he said, In his quick, ner-
vous way, you must defend yourself.
Sitting Bull and Flea-in-Y our Boots,
with Wiggle-Tail-Jim and Scalp Lock
Skowhegan are on us In force. | didn't
want to alarm you before. but the safe
ty of my command is my first duty.
Things look serious. If we don't meet
again, God bless you."
The broker fell on his knees. .My
God, Custer" he cried, "on1y get me out
of this! I'll carry 100000 shares Of
Western Union for you into the firm to
get me home. Only save me-" 81
But Custer was gone, and the camp
by shrewd arrangement burst into a
blaze, and shots, oaths and war-whoops
were intermixed, until suddenly a
painted object loomed on Osborn s
sight, and something was flung into his
face-a human scalp. He dropped tc
the ground, said the Lords prayer

Detail i'm Hardware BUSINESS.

"In no other business in the world. !"
said Chicago hardware merchant, sis
there such multiciplity Of detail as
there is in this. 1t is not a thousand and
one objects you have to keep track of,
but ten thousand and one The great
American inventor Is forever at work
in this line, and there is not day that
we do not add some new items to our
stock, and relegate some others to the
realms of the obsolete. 1t has become
business of specialists to as great an
extent as the profession of medicine
has, and, although l have been in Il
twenty years, I7don't know it all yet. 3
'.It takes mans memory, too, as no
other business ever does. The other
day a man came in here looking for a
certain style of hanger for a folding
door. No other kind could be used on
his doors, and If he couldn't get them
he would have to have new doors made
at considerable expense. The hanger
was of an obsolete pattern, and, while
l didn't have 1t, told him would try
and get 1t.
81 went to my friend LIS store
and asked the clerks there If they had
any of them. No, not one. Then'I went
to L. himself. l told him that If
teen years ago I had bought some
there, and asked him If he would help
me. He said those must have been the
last he sod, as they had been out of
date fifteen years, but, after thinking
a few moments, he took me upstairs,
and there, upon high shelf, we found
two hangers such as wanted.
"sI just happened to think, says Mr..
l., that I stuck those away there

n.f. ~ the Maroh Of Prorre...


There are few quieter, more Sc
oluded villages in England than the
Moons, east and west, lying among the
Hampshire Downes. Old Winchester
Hill presiding over the scene seems to
tell of some old British city there
abouts, the forerunner of the more
famous city of the plains. And the
Romans were busy about the hills
with camps and summer settlements
lang syne. But nothing much has hap
pened there since. Sturdy Cobbett
passed that way in his Rural Ride'k"
and maryeled at the huge church of
East Neon in it's mighty solitude.
Built to hold thousands. and now, in
Cobbett's time. a few shepherds and
graziers. sparsely scatteretd. form the
whole population of the parish. And
still the process of depo oulation goes
ION, as census tables tell. But the
Moons are to have railway at
last, and we read that the Neon valley
railway from Alton to Fareham. a dis
tance of. about 26 miles, will run
through country hitherto quite un-
touched by any railway, and will afford
aIapid and direct means OF cOmmuni-
cation between Aldershot and the
southern ports and defenses of Ports
mouth. Southampton and Gosport. =

Love grows by what 1t doesn't feed

|, Love never condescends to reason;
that is why it is SO reasonable.
No thin girl will ever admit that there

Of her oftener.
You can always distract woman's

Some of the worst gifts that Santa

women wear In them.
The first time girl kisses man she
tries to pose just like the actress she
once saw kiss in some play.
The average woman gets about half
standings with people she likes.
After girl has been engaged three
or four times she feels lonesome every
night man doesn't propose to her.

He Sized Up His Customer,

A rather loudly dressed gentleman
stepped into the necktie department Of

a supercilious tone that would have
nettled a craven image into anger ut
tered the single mandatory word:
"Neckties!'
Then he threw back his head as if the

tice. This top-lofty air aggravated the
assistant, but he quietly displayed a
number of late patterns with deferen-
tial air.

Many Heroic Incidents.
There were many instances OF nero
ism displayed The Eleventh Infantry.
U. S. A., led by their adjutant, saved
at least 100 lives, by rescuing people
from the water. The adjutant person
ally saved fifteen from drowning. With
life line tied to his waist. he dashed
bravely into the torrent again anu
again, depending upon his men to draw
his body out. The flremen of Ponce
also worked bravely, and one noble
fellow lost his life.
A fiat valley, usually ten or twelve
feet above the water level, extends
along Del Rio Portuguese. stretching
from half mile to mile on either
side. On this plain the plantations are
situated. Around the planters house.
and often near the river bank, cluster
the huts of the poems, or laborers. from
twenty to fifty on each plantation.

was an oppressive, heart-rending, fu-
nereal atmosphere that seemed to hang
like pail of despair over the stricken
isle.
Full particulars of the terrible storm
show the great destruction and ac-
centuate the horrible condition of the
peasant, or peon. Houses and roofs to
shelter were as serious questions as
food was before the government issued
free rations and made other provisions
to feed the destitute. The ruins in
most cases consisted Of floor only,
with few articles left thereon. At
Ponce and along the southern shore
the hurricane spent its greatest fury.
The front of the storm reached there
about daylight and the wind and rain
continued to increase til about noon,
when they gradually subsided. This
advance guard had broken the palm

trees, snapped off and stripped of their
fruit the banana and plantain trees
the chief food of the peons-and had
torn and beaten down the coffee trees
and the sugar cane. Many houses had
been unroofed; but few, If any, lives
were lost, though many were injured
by the flying debris.
At dusk the worst seemed to be over,
for the wind and rain had ceased. But
between and o'clock in the evening
the storm recommended, accompanied
by torrential rain and gales. The lit
tie Portuguese River, usually a mere
creek, already swollen from the morn
ang rain, became raging torrent It
jumped out Of its banks at curve Just
above Ponce, and swept down through
the streets. Small houses, with whole
families, were borne down in its re-
sistless current and either lodged in
some fence corner or carried out to sea.
In one yard in the city were found the
bodies of daughter, father, mother and
grandmother.
At one place in the street where the
drift was checked, twenty-four bodies
were picked up, most Of rnem poems.
Some of them, however, gave evidence
of refinement and one was thought to
be an American, but SO quickly does
decomposition set in in that hot eli
mate that it was impossible to recog-
nize him. DR.. Sidley, an American
physician, had a narrow escape from
death. He had recently purchased and
fitted up a handsome home, prepara-
tory to receiving the bride he expected
soon to bring from Chicago. He re-
manned in his house as long as was pos
sible. Tying his money to his arm, and
in his underclothes only, he struggled
through water up to his neck and at
times over his head. Fortunately
some one grasped him by the hair as
he swept past a house and he was
saved.
! The flood was at it's height near mid
night and the scenes along the river
were heartrending. House after house
.hoated past toward the ocean, carry
ing its three, four, and even more,
wretched passengers, who uttered pit
eous cries for help. The night was
lighted by incessant flashes of light
ming, though with little thunder. Many
persons held lamps at their windows
and balconies to aid the struggling and
their rescuers.
1t was a wonderful but horrible
sight. A city of 10000 people was en-
tirely under water, a foaming torren
pouring through the streets; lightning
hashing; men, women and especially
children struggling with the current
