Mr.. BANNlSTER'S BEARD.
1t Caused StOppage of Pleasant
NeiGhbOrly Relations.


The Bannisters and the Ridgeleys are,
or were, what might almost be called
bosom friends. Mrs. Bannister's girl has
often borrowed eggs and other things
from Mrs. Ridgeley's cook. For three
years these two excellent families have
lived side by side without n quarrel.
This may be due to the fact that the
Bannisters have no children. Mrs. Ban
mister can hear Mrs. Ridgeley praise her
little Dorothy and repeat the smart say
ings of her little Percival without feeling
any jealousy whatever.
Theirs has been an ideal friendship.
Still it is only friendship, after all. There
is always among them that polite con-
straint which keeps people on their best
behavior. 1t is not as if they were men,
bers of one family.
And so it came to pass when Mr.. Ban
mister had his beard removed that Mrs.
Ridgeley was careful not to tell him what
she really thought of his appearance. She
assured him that he looked young with a
smooth face, but at home she declared
that he was "a perfect fright"
81 don't see," she said to her husband,
"why his wife ever permitted him to
have it cut off He surely must have had
a beard before they were married or she
could never have fallen in love with him.
Really he looks like a scarecrow.
never knew that a beard could make 50
much difference in a mans appearance"
One evening two or three weeks later
the Bannisters We're sitting on the Ridge
leys' porch. They had talked about the
weather and the war and other things
when little Percival suddenly exclaimed:
"Oh, mamma, Mr.. Bannister's letting
them grow again! Did you notice it?
He doesn't look like a fright or a scare
crow any more, does he?"
Mrs. Ridgeley's girl hasn't borrowed a
thing out of the Bannister kitchen since.

Grapes In the New York Market.

Moore's Early is the first grape to
reach the New York market in quanti-
ties. 1t resembles the dark Concord
which follows 1t. Then comes the Del
aware, little red grape, with a par
ticular flavor of its own. Isabella and
Old Salem are close on the heels of the
Concord and have many purchasers.
Then come the grapes with green skin
the Niagara, Martha and others. The
Catawba is the last to ripen.

blood curdling hiss that denotes the terri
BILE creature is about to strike" says Will
Sparks in Ainslee's. "The danger from
the rattlesnake is as great today as it
ever was, and the man who starts down
any rocky canyon is liable to meet one or
more. Generally speaking, the rattle
snake gives warning when it is ready for
business, but it happens that this warn
ing is seldom given until the man is quite
close-often too close to escape.
"Of almost the same color as the rocks,
the snake lies practically concealed from
view, and the first the traveller knows of
its presence is the deadly singing of the
rattles. Unless the man has heard it be-
fore he will not be able to locate it. The
terrible sound seems to mingle with the
sunshine, and the bewildered man is as
likely to walk into the jaws of death as
to run in the direction of safety. Unless
medical aid is at hand very shortly after
the bite death is sure to follow. An aw-
full death it is; the Indians say the most
awful death man can die"

1t Is alleged that the Charles II. Lane
was in Nome waters during the latter Part
of September and that the complainants
took passage. each paying SIS for. their
usual statement that the vessel was not
accessible and they were compelled TO
rely on the statements OF agents as to her
condition. They set forth that they were
not given the accommodations promised
them and were compelled to sleep on
boards or tables, frequently in places
where the noise rendered rest almost I'M
possible. They state that the food fur
nished them was of poor quality, and
that they received no potatoes butter or
sugar and insufficient salt. The meat, II
Is alleged. was frequently partially decom-
posed and unfit for use. 1t Is also claimed
that the food was prepared in an un-
clearly manner and served on tables
which were left unclaimed from the be-
ginning to the end OF the voyage.
In addition to these statements the libel
ants claim that they were subjected to
insults from the members of the crew
and that. owing to the unfitness of the
boilers for the work assigned, the vessel
was forced to lay to for six days In all.

John Downie. Mr.. Shawl alleges the

him by the California courts, and were
afterward stolen by the mother. He says
he was unable to locate them for ten
months after this occurred. and that

leges that they have been forbidden by
Downie to have anything to do with him.
and they have refused to speak to him
