make an apology for my presence when the
lady half rose from the partly reclining posi-

indicating a chair near the great window
which was swung open and led to a small
balcony without.
Her voice was sweet, but even in these
few words noticed the affectation of in
Election so common with ladies of fashion,
and her original position, which she imme-
diately resained after thus addressing me,
was pose pure and simple, doubtless
taken for the purpose of exposing her fine
arm and the graceful curves of her small
though equally fine figure.

The presence of mind of an American
soldier in moments of danger is one
of his chief characteristics. A brother
CT Father de Smet, the noted Jesuit
missionary, who labored among the In
dams of the west about a quarter of
n century ago, was with his regiment
on some western campaign. One day
he wandered too far from the command.
and suddenly found himself surround
ed by band Of hostile Indians. He
was seized and was just about TO be
tomahawked. when he remembered
hearing his brother say one day that
the Indians had a great devotion for
the sign OF the cross, the symbol of
the Catholic faith Accordingly he
raised his right hand to his forehead
and in distinct tones repeated the
words: I'm the name of the Father
and of the Son and the Holy Ghost"
As De Smet had expected the effect was
magical and in less than five minutes
he was free man.-St. Louis Republic.

How the Uproarious Hosiery of 4
Swell Young Man Struck
Hotel Clerk.

There is young business man who has
more hosiery than he knows what to do
with. He was quite recently on a business
trip, and happened to stop for couple of
days in Philadelphia. He wanted to get
some advertising, but he was not fixed to pay
for it, and he had read about the king of
the dudes" and other freaks who manage to
get some brief .notoriety because of their
antics. He had ten dollars to spare on a
scheme, and he accordingly went to bar
gain sale at which they had lot of last sum-
mer socks at SO cents pair. He spent the
money on these things, and he went out of
his way to get the most outrageous combina-
tons of color and the most bizarre effects
that were in the place. He succeeded won.

asphalt sidewalks curl as they do under ex-
treme heat. His extremities fairly shrieked
Then he spent the day in the corridor of the
hotel sitting in a conspicuous place showing
off the socks. He would wear pair for
about 20 minutes, 60 to his room, change.
and, coming down, show off another design
for about the same time. He did this for al.
most ten hours, and naturally attracted
quite a good deal of attention That was
what he wanted, but he could not break into
the newspapers. The clerk when he was
paving his bill said:
You ought to patent that invention"
What's that?" asked the sock man with
an anticipatory smile, as he expected some.

Two Men Killed and More Than Forty In.
jured in a Collision.
BRAZIL, Ind, March "A miners
train, carrying 400 workmen employed
at the mines north Of here to their
homes in this city, was run into by a
local freight on the Chicago and Eastern
Illinois and the caboose and two cars
were smashed to splinters. Melvin
Easter and Charles Crompey were in.
stantly killed and more than 40 persons
seriously wounded. The wreck occurred
in a deep cut in the center of a short
curve. The railway company at once
sent a special train and brought the
wounded to this city. All the vehicles
obtainable at livery stables and from
private homes were procured to take the
men to their MONIES. Every physician in
town was engaged and it will take the
greater part Of the night TO care for the
wounded. The accident is said to be
ca, ed by inability to see the lights on
the miners train until within a few feet
of it.
