YoN YONSoN's DISPATCH.
Ole Oleson Was Hardly to Blame Fol-
Not Understanding 1t.


One awfully blizzardy night in January
/ was seated in the little doghouse called
a telegraph office on the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy railroad in Illinois.
The time was midnight, and was deeply
engrossed in that thrilling detective sto-
ry, "Shadowed by Three" when the door
few open and a specimen of humanity
entered my office.
Several things were the matter with
him.
He was nearly frozen, excited to the
point of insanity and could not talk Eng
lish.
The purpose of his visit was made
known by grunts, signs and jargon OF
uninteligible language-hew wanted to send
a telegram, and | was to copy it from his
dictation and then send it on the wire.
The nativity of my caller was Swedish.
He repeated to me, | am sure, 600 times
what he wanted to say in the message,
and as he could only talk Swedish | tried
to make a message out of it, with Eng
lish spelling. When, after almost coming
to blows about the thing, finally accom-
plished the task to the best of my abilt
ty, my attempts resulted in a message
reading as follows:
Ole Oleson, Monmouth, Ills.-Hess Hesson
hedcatlaiku accom- heair savare ahashutehasel.
YoN YoEsoN.
This message | read over to the caller
just as it sounded to me, and he nodded
that it was all right consequently | sent
it to Monmouth, and the next thing |
heard of it was three days later, when a
dozen Swedes visited me > either find
out why Ole OlcsDu had not COZ e to our
city or to do me bodily injury. The mat
ter was left to arbitration, and when Ole
was heard from he explained that he did
not understand the message. When it got
to him, it was adorned with all the fan
tastes of which such words in the hands
Of young operators are capable. His copy
read:

After various diplomatic essays, it de-
veloped that my customer had been talk
ing to me in English" with a Swedish
dialect and that what he wanted to say
was:

For corroboration of what / am
about to relate | give you the Haidara
had Gazette of the dates Of June 6, 8
and "A of the year 1872 In those
three issues, as well as In others later
on, you will find much space devoted
to the case of the man who went by
the name of Chilka.
This Hindoo Chilka, who was about
40 years of age, came to the canton
ment at Haidarabad as a peddler Of
fetiches. He had the beaks and claws
of birds, the feet of small animals, the
skins and teeth of serpents and the
ears and claws of tigers and panthers.
He claimed that all his stock had been
blessed by holy man and that each
and every article was a charm. The
native soldier is full of superstition,
and the English soldier in India at
least hopes for good luck. Together
they always buy literally of these
peddlers. There were charms against
death, wounds, sickness, loss and what
not, and the very cheapest and poorest
was a guarantee that its possessor
would never be struck by lightning.
The man had been selling his goods
for an hour or so when dispute arose

THE HOUSEHOLD.
A Box For ComfortabIes-Drap
For Three Paned WindOw-On
Color Schemes.

A box is a very handy receptacle to
be used where one has not plenty Of
closets for slowing away comfortables,
quilts aud blankets safely from the
moths, or for storing away worsted
dresses and underclothes, etc, that are
not wanted for immediate use.
To make the box, use lumber that
has been dressed on both sides. Wide
boards will work to the best advan-
tage. Make it Al inches long, % inches
wide and 1872 inches deep, with good,
thick cover, which must project III
inches all around, except at the back,
where the hinges go on.
Make a cushion on top of the lid
from 11a to inches high in the CEN
ter rounding off at the outer edges.
Pile excelsior on top of the lid until IL
is about the right height, and then
muslin, tacking it into place with small
furniture tacks.
Instead of the excelsior, old COM
fortables can be used to upholster the
top. After the cushion has been stun
ed the whole box must be covered
outside and inside with cloth. Blue
denim and pink, white or blue cam
brio are used for this purpose.
Line the inside Of the box and the
underside of the lid with pink cam
brio, and fasten it in place with In
visible tacks. The inside lining should
extend over the top edge, where 1t will
be met by the outside covering. Cover
the outside of the box smoothly with
the denim, and join the two goods al
the inside of edge, letting the denim
lap over the pink a little, tack close
enough together to hold it firmly, alsS
tack at intervals along each corner.
Blue figured denim and rose pink
cambria were used in making the one
| am describing, and 1t made a very
pretty and cheerful combination. Gov

Small Boy Who Removed "a Possi-

An up town family has two interesting
children who are always getting into mis-

ally the instigator of the escapades, and

him and gives the cat coal oil and sets
the plants on fire and steals the eggs the
cook expects to have for breakfast, ito

cake" she usually escapes with a lighter
punishment than is meted out to the chief
culprit
Recently, however the heir of the fam
lily got even. An uncle of the children had
given each of them beautiful little cut
glass goblet. Now, they didn't care a
thing about the cut glass part, but they
cared very much for the fact that the
name Of each was traced on his posses
sion, and they treasured them as If they
were wrought Of diamonds-for awhile.
The first day, indeed, they would hard
ly drink from them they deemed them so
precious. The second the inventive genius
of the son tempted him to set his on the
kitchen stove so that it would get soft
and he could write his age on it. Direct
ly, of course, it was in bits.
Then he tried to buy his sisters treas
ure, but it was not for sale. Not even
two boxes Of tin soldiers and an equal
share in the hobby horse could induce her
TO part with it, Then, after much cogita-
, ton, the ingenious youngster bethought
him of a project.
Put your goblet on this stone, sis, and
then wen let this big stone drop on it and
bounce off. tn be lots Of fun the goblet
is so nice and hard he said.
Confiding little sister, nothing loath, did
as she was bid, and in a moment all that
remained of her cherished possession also
was broken to pieces.

of the house amiably, when all was over.

pane and two narrower ones for the
side panes, the scalloped line Of the
lower edge of the draped blind being
maintained in the less expensive style.
The lower part of the window Is trim
med with a dwarf curtain of cream or
old gold soft silk run on to a rod top
and bottom. Hemstitched curtains of
silk to match are hung from the top of
the window. They are unfettered by
sashes and meet the dwarf curtains.
OF course all the curtains used could
be of lace instead Of silk, If preferred.
Soft silk curtains can be easily washed
and ironed at home, as they require no
stiffening. The curtains sketched are
not even embellished with frills to add
to the trouble Of ironing. This win
dow decoration, therefore, could be
taken down, washed and put up again
in an hour or two. Frills of silk could
be added to the curtains, but the SIM

distinct style and are more uncommon
