The typographical situation to which
Kentucky and Tennessee Were rele-

people who lave in the suns of the
South. Their characteristics extend
over into Arkansas, which, too, is
rugged, and has been more rugged in
some of ito people. Yet Kentucky
makes the gallants Of American his

The Last Straw.

The limit of conjugal devotion is
ludicrously pictured i'll book written
to amuse the novel-readers of twenty
years ago. An eminently practical,
matter-of- fact husband is bidding good
by to sentimental wife.
She put both her arms about his neck.
"John," she sobbed, you are going
away
This was SO palpable that 1t would
have been madness to attempt denial;
so he merely observed. Look out for
my collar. Maria.''
You will think of your wife while
you are gone" she whispered, huskily.
He was trifle nervous under the
pressure of her arms upon his collar;
but he spoke reassuringly: II will bear
it in mind. my dear"
you will think of me as mourning
your absence. and anxiously awaiting
your return!" she murmured.
"You can trust me to attend to it." he
replied, with as much firmncss us if it
had been a request for barrel of
mackerel.
"4And you'll be very careful of your
self, for my sakey' she suggested, in a
broken voice.
81 will see it attended to, my dear.
But it is almost time for the train," and
he gravely sought to remove her arms
from his neck.
John! John!' she convulsively cried,
don't forget me! don't forget me.'

proach in his tone, 81 have made a

of the holes in the wall, though l
had never seen so much money before
In my life. For each dollar in Ameri-

Poison 1gnorantly Sold.
We often read in the paperssa ecounts
of men and women who take pills-..sv
powdersin the dark, and never read the
labels on medicine bottles. The special
providence which SO frequently watches
over them interviewed in a still more
wonderful way in behalf of certain re-
cent travellers in South Africa, and
more particularly in behalf of their ma
tive friends.
Upon returning to camp, writes one
of them, we found that John, the driver,
had purchased load of pumpkins,
which the native men and women from
the Mazoe Valley had brought to the
wagon to barter.
AT first l was pleased, but when l
found that John had traded away
about twenty pounds of preseryative,
consisting of alum and arsenic, which
he had mistaken for salt, was filed
with dismay.
We knew not the villages whence the
natives had come, nor could we explain
the mistake, being ignorant of the Ian
suage; and before my scared mental
vision rose piles of dead Mashonas,
pestilence, and war on whites, provided
there remained enough live Mashonas
to make 1t.
Hence it was that before daylight the
next morning we left for the fort. We
made no mention of the matter to any
one; but year later, when visiting the
Mazoe Valley, inquired of the natives
if there had been any disease among
them about the time when the white
men arrived in the country.
They said that there had been an cpl
demic of stomach-acie, but fortunately
no one had died from it. My conscience
was profoundly relieved.

Did London Work Mckinley?
Advocates of sound money" do not

standard upon the country exactly as
the London Government has fastened
1t upon Great Britain. 1t would be
interesting to know what the argu-

to them there is not the shadow of

Federal Judge Shiras at Dubuque
handed down an opinion in the Indian
case from the lama County reservation.
The case was that in which the husband
of an Indian girl, h-Puc-Ka- Chez,
sued for writ of habeas corpus to Sc
cure her release from the Indian agent.
The agent had had himself appointed
guardian of the girl by the District Court
of Tama County, and by virtue of the
appointment restrained her against her
will and against the will of relatives and
compelled her to attend the Indian
school. Her attorney claimed the State
had no authority over the Indians, that
the local court cannot appoint guard
ians and the agent has no authority to
compel her attendance at school. Judge
Shiras sustains the Indians at every
point and censures the agent; he also
severely censures whites who interfered.
