The city clerk read petitions from all
the rejected applicants for license and
Mr.. Chew moved to lay them on the ia
bic. The ayes and noes were taken and
the motion was lost, five voting to table
the applications and eleven against.
The vote was as follows:

Friends Well Met,

When true-hearted men in north and
south met and Understood each other,
there was never real enmity between
them. A certain Virginian lived near
the field of Mechanicsville, where Nc
Clellan fought one of his severe battles
in the summer of 1862. This man went
out to the field, after the northern
troops had retired from it, and noticed
a little fellow lying, wounded, in the
hot sun, AS he looked pityingly at
the boy, the young fellow gained cour-
age to make a request: "Neighbor,
won't you get me a drink Of water?
I'm very thirsty" "Of course. | will"
said the man, and he brought the
water. The little fellow was enccur-
aged by this, and he asked again:
Wont you get me taken to the hos
pital? I'm badly wounded" well,
now, my boy" said the man, of I get
you taken care of, and you are we'll
enough to go home again, are you COM
ing down here to fight me and my folks
once more? How about that?" 1t was
a hard test for a wounded prisoner. but
the boy stood it. He looked his captor
firmly in the eye, and said: "That l
would, my friend" Il tell you" said
the Virginian afterward, ~ liked his
pluck. I had that boy taken to the
hospital, and he had good care"
The Neihart herald. [volume] (Neihart, Mont.) 1890-1901, 1900-01-13

The morning was fine and warm; tia
skylight was open, and a pleasant cur
rent Of air passed through the clean,
wainscoted cabin. A spotless white
cloth was on the table, across which
there were dashed certain bars OF wood,
technically termed a fiddle, to keep
the plates and glasses from falling to
leeward; and on looking from my cur
tanned berth (for | was not permitted
to rise) / saw the captain and mate at
lunch over brandy and water, biscuits
and cheese; and busy the while with
charts and compasses, as they were
comparing their nautical notes and OBJ
servations.
The brig seemed to be running stead
lily through the water upon the star
board tack, and l could hear the gurgle
of the sea under her counter, as 1t bub-
bled away in the wake astern-in fact,
the sound seemed to be just a foot
above my ear, realizing the terrible
idea that there was only a plank be-
tween me and eternity"
Capt. Samuel Weston was a we'll
made man of middle hight, and some
where about forty years of g He
was rather grave than jovial In man
ner, but pleasant, kind and gentleman
ly. There was nothing about him that
particularly indicated the seaman, and
he never used startling adjectives, or,
according to the proverbial idea. inter-
larded his conversation with obscure
nautical phraseology.
He wore a short p~ea-coat with brass
buttons, and a straw hat. A handsome
gold ring secured his necktie, and the
fag-end of a cheroot was between his
teeth. He was exactly portrayed thus
in his colored calotype, which was
framed and screwed into the bulkhead.
Close by it was another of a lady with
a little boy, standing at the base of a
column, which of course had a crimson
curtain f%estooned behind it; and they,
l had 10 doubt, were his wife and child.
So Capt. Weston-or, as he preferred
to call himself, Sam Weston-was more
domestic in his tastes than those who
usually live by salt water are sup
posed to be.
Neither was there anything partic-
ularly nautical in the appearance of the
mate, who was a smart and athletic
young fellow, about fve-and-twenty
years of age, with somewhat of a Glas-
gov accent, keen gray eyes and sandy
colored hair; and he it was (though
was not aware of it then. or for long
after) who boldly plunged into the
stormy sea, and swan to the founder
ing schooner, and finding that l could
neither understand nor obey instruc-
tions, had made a line fast to my waist,
and thus conveyed me safely into the
boat; so to this young Scotchman l
owed my life and a debt Of gratitude.

The Wrong Leg.

A well-known Archbishop of Dublin
was, toward the end of his life, af-
flicted by his absence of mind, that led
often to startling developments. The
most devout OF men, the best of hus-
bands, he figured in one anecdote that
might have got a less well-known
pietist into trouble. It was at a din
ner given by the Lord Lieutenant OF
Ireland. In the midst of the dinner
the company was startled by seeing
the Archbishop rise from his seat,
looking pale and agitated, and crying:
sit has come, it has comet" What
has come, your Grace?" eagerly cried
half a dozen voices from different parts
of the table. "Wha | have been ex-
pecting for some years-a stroke of
paralysis" solemnly answered the
Archbishop. Il have been pinchlng
myself for the past two minutes. and
find my leg entirely without sensa-
ton" Pardon me, my dear Archbish-
op," said the hostess, looking up to
him with a quizzlcal smile, pardon
me for ~contradicting you, but 1t Ia me
that you have been pinching."

Or. The Adventures Of
An Eton Boy.
BY JAMES RANT
CHAPTER II.-(Continued.)
by JAMES GRANT.

CHAPTER H.-(Continued.)
Now l began to be assaulted by that
illness, which terror and anxiety had
hitherto but partially representa- vio-
lent seasickness in all it's horror.
Afraid of being washed from the deck,
over which the waves were breaking
now, once more l crept in wretchedness
below.
Before descending, l cast a despair
ing glance at the loosening sail which
still caught the wind; it was a ource
of increasing danger which dared not
attempt to remedy, even had | strength
to have done so, for the wet deck was
now sloping like the roof of a house,
and l would assuredly have fallen into
the sea to leeward. After several feeble
efforts, I succeeded in partially closing
the companion hatch, for warmth and
security, and, descending, threw myself
on the cabin floor, sick and despairing.
The lurching of the vessel, the close
ness of the atmosphere, and general
odor of the cabin, overpowered me at
last; | became fearfully i'll, and from
being so, lapsed into Inconsistencies,
after enduring all the wretchedness in
duced by that ailment of the ocean.
For the top of my head seemed about
to fly off, it's sides to be crushed in;
there was a singing in my ears, an
ache in my eyeballs; and then came
that awful sinking of the pulses, of the
body, of the soul itself which thou
sands have endured in cases of aggra-
waited sea-sickness, but one has been
able to depict.
In short, after a paroxysm of illness
and tears, l became totally unconscious
of the peril and horror of my situation,
and found a refuge in sleep.

Lord and MInister.

The Scottish Leader says that the
former Lord Elphinstone's parish min
lister was a very scatter brained theo-
Logan, and in his sermons often knew
not the end from the beginning. One
Sunday his Lordship. in his customary
sleeping, gave vent to an unmlstak-
able snore' This was too much for
the minister, who stopped and cried;
"Waken, my Lord Eiphipstone," A
grunt followed and then his lordship
answered; I'm no ~sleepin', minister"
But "e are sleepin'. I wager We din
NJ zen what said last" exclaimed the
{ pastor. "Ou, ay," returned the peer.
"Ye said, 'Waken, my Lord Elphin-
stone" "Ay. ay," said the minister.
But I wager We dinna ken what

the nobleman, promptly. "Tll wager
ye dinna ken yerself."
