How He Dealt with coward,.

In appearance Osman Pasha, the
lion of Plevna, was handsome and pre-
possessing, looking a born leader of
men. Like Napoleon, he was always
distinguished by the plainness of his
uniform. He had queer habit of al
ways, even in battle, carrying a pen
Gil behind his ear, butt end foremost.
He was taciturn, grave, abrupt and
disdainful of forms and etiquette. He
hated all foreigners, especially Ger
mans, Russians and English. AS for
war correspondents, he entertained the
utmost detestation of them, whence
the deeds of his army were never
chronicled as they should have been.
He had strange method Of dealing
with towards. He would send for
them and publicly box their ears.
When really angry, his rage was terri
BILE.
After the sortie and the surrender he
was seen to be weeping tears of rage
and shame. He was, it may be. a

defense. 1t is one Of the finest feats
of military history"

The Song Of the Yukon River,

There is something peculiar about
the Yukon river that | have never
heard of in connection with any other
stream" said Captain Gray. who has
been running boats on the big Alaska
artery. From the mouth of the Yukon
up as far as there is any navigable
water the stream is constantly sing
ing. No matter where you are, there
is a sound like that made by escaping
steam. At first used to think that
maybe it came from the boiler or en-
gnes. But when we were tied up at
night, with everything cold, the sound
was the same. | have puzzled my
brain to find an explanation of the
phenomenon, but without avail The
singing goes on day and night.
When you get up stream some dis
lance. you can also hear the rocks
rolling over the bed Of the river, and
this produces most peculiar sound."-

Something He couldn,t Wear.

A wealthy American who became a
convert to Rome was very generous to
Pope Leo XIII in money matters He
had done many generous things, and
the pope had rewarded him with or
ders and medals galore. For once a
year this convert made a pilgrimage to
Rome, where he was kindly received
by the holy father as son and gener-
ally, until the orders We're exhausted,
each time was bestowed with some
fresh honor On such occasions all
these brave metal pieces were attached
to the rich Americans breast.
"Tll soon end that" the pope remark
ed to a confidante who was at his side
during the levee. Next time shall
give him snuffbox," which he did,
and beautiful jeweled box it was.
The following year the American
turned up again and was granted an
audience, when to the holy fathers
CONSERVATION the faithful son of the
church appeared not only with all his
medals. but with the snuffbox attached
to his waistcoat.
'"The next time" the pope said, with
comicai sigh, 81 shall present him
with a marble topped table. 1t is the
only thing | can think of that he can't
tie to his waistcoat."

Climate and Crop Report.

DIES MONIES, AUGUST 20. 1900
The past week was unusually hot
and wet. The daily excess in tenn
perature ranged from three to six
degrees. From the 18th to 18th, in
elusive, it was showery in nearly all
parts of the state, and excessive
amounts of rainfall are reported
from numerous stations in the cen
trail and southern sections. In
many localities the showers were
accompanied by severe squalls and
did some damage to windmills,
light buildings, stacks of grain, etc;
and heavy corn suffered some inju-
ry by being tangled and lodged.
But the damage has been light in
comparison with the vast amount
of benefit resulting from the album
dant moisture.
Threshing has been delayed. but
a good beginning has been made in
fall blowing, with soil in excellent
condition; and this likely to result
in an increased acreage of winter
wheat in the southern section.

lily from effects of windstorms, &: n l

Her Inst Drink

In Hyde Park lives a young matron
who is of such high nervous temporal
ment that if she drinks the very small
est amount of alcoholic stimulant be-
fore going to bed the result is sleepless-
ness for the remainder of the night.
Some nights ago number of friends
dropped in for the evening, and the
husband. who, by the way, is south
erner, suggested that he make mint
julep for each of the company The
suggestion was received with delight
& and the juleps were promptly mixed.
In his wife's glass. however, he put
only enough whisky to flavor the
water, probably not more than a tea
spoonful. OF this she slipped about
half. The result, however, was the
same. She was troubled with insomnia
all night long, and it was not until )
o'clock in the morning that she drop
ped off to sleep and, as conse-
quence, was not called for breakfast.
At 10 o'clock she came down stairs
and hearing the voices Of children on
the front porch stopped to listen. Her
heart filled with motherly pride as she
heard her elder son, a boy of e. telling
seven or eight children from the neigh
borhood that they must not make too
much noise as his mamma was asleep.
Imagine her horror, too, as the young
hopeful added:

night that she couldn't come down to

A Football Incident In New York.


Mr.. Frank w. Graves during his
newspaper career witnessed many sim
gular scenes, but the oldest one hap
pened, according to Mr. Graves, in the
old days when the big college football
teams played their star games on the
New York polo grounds on Thanksgiv-
ing day.
Princeton had played and Yale had
Won
Going up Broadway there walked
dapper young Princeton man and
girl. Going down Broadway at the
same moment We're eight victorious
young Yale men. They were happy,
but silent, and they came straight
down the street until they spied the
Princeton pair.
Then still in silence, moved by sin
gle purpose, the Yale men formed
circle, and as the other pedestrians
made way for them they went around
and around the Princeton pair. At first
the young man was surprised, then an
gered, and at last be raised his cane
and made a dash for liberty, whereup-
on the Yale men stopped and, without
word, fell upon him as they do in
football, quietly. heavily and quickly. .
Then, Strengthening themselves again
into a line, the eight Yalesians stopped
moment and in concert raised their
hats to the thoroughly frightened girl
and silently resumed their march down
the street.-Saturday Evening Post.

Not Too Dead.

II am not prepared to state that the
dead can come to life," said Pennsyl-
vania man, but the experience of q
friend of mine in a Pennsylvania Ger
man town would seem to incline one
that way.
"In the town where he was visiting
he became acquainted with the local
undertaken and in that way was ena-
bled to be present at the funeral of
young woman who had expired from
shock at seeing her husband fall from
load of hay. He was not hurt at all,
but she was, to all intents and pur-
poses, as dead as the proverbial door
nail. The body was laid out in the par
lor, and all the relatives and friends
had assembled to pay their last re-
spects to the dead.
