When PapOOsc Dies.

The Indian mother, when her baby
dies, does not believe that swift angels
bear it into the sunshine of the spirit
land, but she has beautiful dream to
solace her bereavement. The cruel
empty places which everywhere meet
the white mothers eye are unknown to
her, for to her tender fancy a little
spirit child fills them.
1t is not uncommon. says the author
of Little Folks of Many Lands" to
see in Mexico or in Canada a pair of
elaborate tiny moccasinS above little
Indian grave. \ mothers fingers have
made them, a mothers hand has hung
them there. to help n ha3y's feet over
the lots, rough road that stretches be-
tween his fathers wigwam and the
Great Chiefs happy hunting gro"nl7.
Indians believe that a baby's spirit
cannot reach the spirit land until the
child, if living, would have been OLD
enough and strong enough to walk.
Until that time the little spirit hovers
about it's mother. And often it grows
tired-oh, so very tired-so the tender
mother carries a papoose's cradle on
her back that the baby spirit may ride
ard rest when 1t will.
The cradle is filed with the sOftest
feathers-for spirits rest more COM
fortably upon feathers; hard things
bruise them-and all papoosc's old toys
dangle from it's hood, for dead papoose
may like to play even as living papoose
did

pcnse of the Ticket Puncher.
II made a short trip the other day."
said Jones, as he smiled softly to himself
"There were six of US in the party, and
when we were ready to go home there
was some doubt about whether or not we
would be able to catch our train. / went
on ahead, promising to buy the tickets, so
there would be no delay when the others
arrived. l managed to reach the station
in time and secured the tickets, but the
train arrived before my friends did, and
l found myself on board with five extra
tickets that had no earthly use for, so
resolved to amuse myself at the expense
of the conductor. Tearing up the check
that he gave me when he took up my
ticket, l waited for him to come around
again.
Tickets he said shortly on his next
round, seeing that had no check.
81 gave up another ticket without q
word and promptly tore up the check that
he gave me.
Tickets he started to say when he
came around again, and then he looked
hard at me, and 1 handed over another
ticket without comment.
"'See here, where is your checkP he
demanded on his next trip.
For reply handed over another
ticket.
when he came around again, he look
ed at me in a startled manner, and
heard him give a sigh OF relief when he
passed and had made no sign. 1 let him
go until he was nearly to the door, and
then l yelled to him that he had over
looked me and frantically waved another
ticket.
1.-THE next stop was mine, and as l
passed the conductor on the outside
handed him another ticket with the re-
mark that he had overlooked me.
"That conductor has an idea that he
has been worked by some sort Of a new
game. but is unable to figure 1t out.'t

"Mebbe it wasn't exactly a fiirta-
tion," sullenly admitted the brother
after awhile.
The Rev. Peters said he was using
the fan to drive away the flies and
bring a breath of cool air as he read
over the sermon he was to preach on
the following Sunday. He had neither
noticed the widow nor Angelina nor
her father. The Widow Moreland had
insisted on being present. Yes, she
knew all about tlirtations, but really
she hadn't the nerve to sit at an open
window under The eyes of her neigh
bors and attempt n Irritation with n
clergyman and the pastor of the church
she was soon to be a member of. If
she used her fan languidly, it was to
drive away the droning house flies; If
briskly, it was to warn Il darning nee
die or beetle to keep a safe distance
"Were 1 to fiirt," added the widow
as she shook out her fan and smiled
coyly, 81 should do like this"
And she went through such a series
of motions and gestures as no elder of
that church had ever seen before, and
some of them almost found themselves
trying to reply to the signals.
well, Brother Harris, what shall
we Go?" asked Deacon Spooner as the
widow retired.
Il guess Angelina was mistaken"
was the hesitating reply.
"And you?"
81 guess l was too. Yes, I'm willing
to say 1 was and take it all back.

ture OF the lady as an impressionist of

which she entered was occupied, and for
moment she stood alone in the aisle,
the only passenger who was not receiving
all that the nickel invested at the gate
called for.
Two young men who seemed to be
strangers sat near the spot where the
fat lady stood They looked at her and
then at each other and without saying
anything got up. The woman glanced at
the place they had vacated as if meas
uring it with her eye, and then sat down,
saying:

SHOT AROUND CORNERS.
Investigation Proved That a Pistol
Was Capable of Doing So.

Was Capable of Doing So.
Speaking of PISTOLS" said New Or
leans lawyer, 81 am reminded Of re-
markable case in which was interested
soon after the war, when l was practic-
ing over in Alabama. A general shoot
ing ARRAY, growing out of a family feud,
had taken place at crossroads store, and
IN influential planter named McDermott
was killed. He was standing behind a
little shed, a considerable distance away,
at the time, and young man named
Lee Allen was firing out of the store
window at another OF the crowd. Nc
Dermott was hit in the head, and the
bullet was identified as coming from
Aliens pistol, which was an English
weapon Of a very unusual size, caliber
At. But the singular part of the affair
was that the place where the planter
stood was out of the range of the win
dow. The corner of the shed interposed,
and it was simply impossible to under
stand how the missile reached its mark.
| was engaged for the defense, and after
carefully measuring the ground and fir
ing several test shots l became conyinc-
ed that my client was innocent and that
there had been another At caliber pistol
in the fight. The circumstantial evidence
seemed TO Dear OUT my lQQlSpu
bly,, and 1 felt confident of an acquittal,
when at the eleventh hour the unexpect-
ed happened and knocked out my props.
at occurred to the prosecuting attor-
ney to test Aliens weapon and find out
exactly how it carried. Accordingly he
screwed it in a wise and blazed away
a few times at target at different
distances. The result was astounding.
Up to about so feet it shot all right, but
at that point the bullet suddenly veered
off at all sorts of extraordinary tangents.
Sometimes it sailed up into the air, some
times it plunged downward and some
times it swooped off to one side. The
explanation, however, was simple. 1t
seemed that Allen had found the barrel
too long and q week or so before the
fight had filed off several inches. That
operation completely destroyed the eff
feet of the rifiing, and instead of i'm
parting a true circular twist to the bull
let it gave it peculiar English as bill
lard players would say, which was as
other. That experiment fully explained
the mystery of McDermott's taking off.
Ny client was convicted Of manslaughter
and afterward pardoned. l don't know
what became of the pistol. 1t should
have been preserved as the only gun
on earth that pitched curved balls."-

MAKING FIRE BY WOOD.
One Camper Who Tried This An
Client Plen Withnut Success.

One Camper Who Tried This An.
cient Plan Without Success.
Hanged if 1 believe anybody ever
made a fire by rubbing two sticks to-
gether, all travellers yarns to the con-
trary notwithstanding" declared an en-
thusiastic local sportsman the other day.
Il spent n couple of weeks with camp
ing party last spring, and one morning l
got separated from the other boys, and it
was night before found my way back to
our shack. l am an inveterate smoker,
and when filed up my pipe after wan
dering around for an hour or two l was
Mortified to find that my match safe was
empty AS soon as l made that discov-
cry my desire for q smoke increased
about 800 per cent. If l had had my gun
along, l could have started a blaze with
out trouble, but unluckily had set out to
do some fishing and had no weapon but
my hook and line. Naturally the first
thing that occurred to me was flint and
steel, but l couldn't find any flint, and
then happened to think of the old story
about making fire with two pieces of
wood.
"Well, won't tire you with details, but
If ever a man gave an experiment a con-
scientious trial / did ON this occasion. l
picked up chunks of half a dozen differ
ent kinds of wood, trimmed them down
with my penknife and tried them all in
various combinations, using one hard and
one soft stick, exactly as the story books
say the Indians do. But, although l rub
bed until the pesky things were chafed
nearly in two, l never succeeded in get
ting them even warm. At last 1 remem-
bered reading somewhere about a scheme
of the natives of Java, who are said to
lay a fat piece of wood on the ground
and twirl a small rod, top fashion, on its
surface, by means of cord. I soon
made one of the machines, cutting up my
suspenders for the string. At the end of
half an hour / was redhot and the appa-
ratus was dead cold. But had gone far
enough to convince ME that the man who
wrote the story was a triple plated liar,
and l yearned violently for his gore. 1
struck camp just about dusk, and the
first thing did was to grab coal from
the fire and put it on my pipe. Later on
l discovered four matches in the lining of
my vest. l won't repeat my remarks, but
my friends asked me why l didn't talk
that way in the woods. They say my
language would have set fire to q piece of
asbestus" - New Orleans Times-Demo-
