THE WORM TURNED.
Story of Man Who Cultivated Nice
 Disposition.

Do you see that woman going out? ?" said the man in the dry goods house whose business k Is to make things all right with dissatisfied customers She's only one of 'em I have a score GIT more every day She's kicking about a dress. We've altered it twic9. and she still thinks it doesn't quite it her in the back. It's hard job to look pleasant and be perennially agreeable, and I never knew but one man who could do it. He was the complaint man in a big store-a friend of mine and he held the place for twenty years. He never failed to say the right thing and was the most perfect jolly that ever was. He knew how to con- pliment woman as to form and con- plexion in way that never was equal ed. His smile was the envy of all the statesmen in the place. It had a win hing sweetness about it that was sim ply irresistible and never failed to van qufsh the most desperate kicker. One day an uncle of my friend died and left him $40 000. A few moments after the news reached my friend an old pa- tron of the store came ina woman who for years had been noted as a kicker, but whom it had been my friends duty and pleasure to make sat- lsfed with her purchases. She had bonnet in her hand and was kicking about the shape, the trimmings and everything in way that was calcu- lated to carry terror to the stoutest heart. 'So,' said my friend, you don't like this bonnet. You don't like any, thing about it. We'll, don't blame you. It don't suit you in any way, and 1t can't be made to suit you Of course 1t can't. And there's no bonnet on earth that can be made to suit such pig=faced, disagreeab1e woman as you are, anyway He had repressed his natural feeling for twenty years, but the worm that had been trodden upon through two decades turned at last. He then put on his hat. and the place that had known him so long knew him no more forever. ."-Fx.

A Story of Majuba Hill.

\ When the vice president OF the
Transvaal Republic was visiting in this
city i'll 1890, says the Chicago Evening
Post. he and his wife and little grand
daughter were the guests OF a we'll
known Boer sympathizer One even
ing, sitting around the fire, Mrs. Jou
bert, who is very proud OF her husband
told the story OF the British attack and
defeat at Majuba Hill, telling how she
aroused her sleeping spouse and fairly
pitched him (she is woman of power
full physiquc) out OF the tent be-
| fore he would believe the British were
fairly upon them She took credit for
the victory, and when she had finished
the story, her husband, who had never
taken his eyes from her during the mar
ration, said: 1T is true; she is right,
and but for her the story OF Majuba
Hill would have been different" Mrs.
| .Joubert speaks no English Her little
granddaughter translated what she said
into French for the benefit OF the host
and hostess According to her story,
the wives OF the soldcry and officers
had come, as is the custom OF the Bocr
vrouw in times OF war. to the camp to
remain over and attend meeting with
the men. Bright and early she was
up Sunday morning to make the coffee
for her husband. Going outside, Mrs
Joubcrt looked up the hill and saw
something cleaning in the sunlight,
which she at once decided were bayo-
nets. The night before it had rained
hard, and the thick log which followed
was now disappearing in thin mist.
She rushed back into the tent and called
to her husband: The British are on
the hill. Get up quick and out" Go
back to bed, woman was the sleepy
rctort OF her husband; ''the sand isn't
out OF your eyes yet: What do you
think the sentrics arc doing?' With
that he turned over and was about to
resume his nap, when his wife shook
him. She is powerful woman, as has
been told, and the grasp reused her
now iratc lord. She made him go to
the door; and with his own eyes he saw
she was right. Cronjc was hastily
summoned. and within thirty minutes
Joubcrt (wthout his coffee and 100
sharpshooters were climbing up the al
most perpendicular face OF the hill,
while the main body of between 600
and 700 Beers advanced in the regular
way to sham attack. The British had
taken advantage OF the dense fog and
by rapid march had passed inside the
sentry line They advanced about GOO
strong. TO meet the Boer force, never
dreaming that anyone could attack
them from the walled hill above Down
on their knees Joubcrt and his 100
sharpshooters dropped, and after one
volley 100 British soldiers fell to the
ground. The British turned and at
tempted charge Only one more vol
lev was sent into their ranks by the
Beers. Then there were many more
dead or wounded on the field. Their
comrades turned and fled The Beers
returned to camp and had their coffee.
