His Hair Stood ON End.

"Up to FIVE years ago." said a pros
pector to st. Louis Republic reporter,
II didn't believe in such thing as a
mans hair standing on end" And
then the old gentleman told the story
of the fright that led him to change
his mind:
II was In the mountains Of Idaho
with a friend, and we ran short of
fresh meat, 30 one day l took my gun
and started Off alone. went into a
ravine and was making my way along
q little brook when I came suddenly
upon n queer sight. Not four feet in
front OF me, in the full blaze of the
sun, lay four mountain lions asleep.
"For half minute thought them
dead, but as l stood staring at them,
with my leart In my mouth, every one
Of them sprank up with growl. And
they faced around at me, looking ugly,
shifting the air, with their whiskers
drawn back, showing the white line
Of their teeth, switching their tails
and looking like demons.
"As for me, / stood rooted to the
spot. couldn't move from sheer fright.
A queer, numb sensation began in my
ankles and crept up my body, and
literally felt my hair rise.
II stood there motionless for several
minutes. Then one of the beasts drop.
ped his tail and whined. The others
followed his example. My presence
mystified them. A few seconds later
they turned about and crept away
down the ravine, looking back STEALTH
ny two or three times to see me.
"When they were out Of sight, I be.
gan to breathe again. didn't care to
hunt any more that day and made fol
the camp ut top speed. That was the
time my hair stood on end, and my
scalp was sore to the touch for weel
afterward."

A Careful Mother.

This Is story one woman is never
tired of telling Of a mother whose child
had been Ill with scarlet fever. She
always emphasizes the fact, too, that
the mother was possessed, upon ordi-
nary occasions, with good sense and
would be called more than ordinarily
intelligent woman. She was, too, n
more than ordinarily careful mother,
and 1t was as an illustration Of this
that she told the story Of the care Of
her boy to the friend who now repeats
II. Not as much was known about
sanitary conditions then as now, but
1t was not in time Of primitive igno-
rance.
II always believe in taking the great
est care to prevent contagion in any
disease" said the mother, "and with
the fever l was extraordinarily care
full. Why, when the skin began to
peel ! rubbed the child down with my
hands every day to remove every loose
fragment, let 1t fall into cloth, and
then l gathered it up carefully and
shook 1t out the window"
The listener to that story laughed
then and there, to the great surprise
and indignation of the. mother, and
laughs now at the ridiculous ignorance
of a woman who claimed to have even
a vestige of common sense.-New York

wiIl.o,.the-wisp Salvation.

A well known rector of an east end
church was approached one day by a
lady who said she desired to rent a
seat In a row nearest the door Of his
church. The rector responded that the
seats In that row were all free and that
she was at liberty to occupy any one Of
them, but she persisted, saying that
she desired to have 1t for her own.
Being somewhat curious rs to her
reasons, the clerical gentleman said,
"But, madam, tell me why you wish to
sit SO far back2" ..4
After some hesitancy she responded
that she simply couldn't bear to have
any one "sit behind her."
"Yet you will be sitting behind 9th.
ers, who perhaps feel the same way"
said the rector laughingly.
'That may be-" replied the devout
lady earnestly, "but you know have
such wretched little wisp of hair at
the back Of my head that 1t would GER
tainly interfere with my devotions II
knew any one was looking at it,

S1OO Reward. 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages. and that
is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous, surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers, that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that 1t fails to cure.

"A beautiful scene" said an old thea
ter gocr, may be utterly ruined by
some trifling mistake, and IN error Of
seemingly infnitesimal dimensions
throw out an entire company. Often
times, however, the ready wit and pres
ence Of mind of an actor or actress may
save the day and turn what might 9TH
erwise have been disaster into triumph.
One Of the most difficult of all scenes to
carry Off successfully occurs in the op-
era Of 'Siegfried.' You will remember
that Siegfried awakens Brunnhilde
from her long sleep with a kiss. Wag-
ner has SO arranged It that the kiss
seems as long to the audience as the
immortal slumber itself. In reality It
lasts about 10 seconds, but It seems un-
ending. IL Is a most trying situation
for the singers, for the audience is ex-
tremely likely to grow restless.
"Some years ago at performance of
'Siegfrie1 in st. Louis Alvary-poor
t.hap!-was singing Siegfried to Nine.
Sucher's Brunnhilde. He had got about
half way through his lengthy oscula.
ton when the gallery began a success.
sion Of smacks, constantly increasing
in volume. 1t was critical moment;
but, as the event proved, one that was
to add to Alvery's already large wreath
of laurels.
SLOWLY he raised his magniflcently
handsome head and turned toward the
audience and silently looked the CALLER
les into silence. In ten seconds he had
completely mastered them, and you
could have heard a pin drop in the
great house. Then he dropped his face
on that Of Brunnhilde, and that kiss
went on to Its appointed and Sapholikt
finish without further interruption
from the audience. 1t was as fine ar
exhibition Of the control great per
sonality can exercise over an audience
as I have ever witnessed."-New Yorl

One of the Queer sights Of Brooklyn.

One of the Queer Sights Of Brooklyn.
speaking Of queer things that hap
pen in Brooklyn" said member Of the
finance department, "a few nights ago
I was going out on late train on the
Fifth avenue elevated road. There
were few passengers In the car. Sit
ting opposite me was demure looking
Brooklynite with large bundle under
each arm. The bundles were closely
wrapped with newspapers.
. "Suddenly violent internal move
ment agitated the bundle under the
mans left arm, and moment later the
head Of q large game rooster broke
through the paper. As soon as the roost-
er's head was clear he crowed loud
and defiantly. Then the bundle under
the other arm heaved and struggled,
another beak and comb appeared, and
the crow Of defiance was promptly an
swered by one Of challenge.
"Then for five minutes those two
roosters crowed at 30 seconds inter-
walls, while their owner struggled des.
.perately. to get them back into the
wrappings where be had thought them
effectually concealed. He Indignantly
refused the request of the other passen-
gers to put them on the floor Of the car
and let them fight 1t out."-New York

HI. After Dinner speech.

There Is no field Of mental effort in
which success In its most Hattering
form may be won quicker than on the
after dinner platform. The man who
can amuse and instruct such an audi
ence, for instance, as that which as
sembles each year ut the New England
society dinner, perhaps the most crit
ical In New York, may awake to find
himself famous. A few hours before
Henry w. Grady of Atlanta was to
speak at the New England society's
dinner In 1886 a correspondent Of a
southern newspaper asked him what
he would say, and he replied:
"The Lord only knows. I have
thought of 1000 things to say, 500 Of
which II say they will murder me
when get back home, and IL l say the
other 500 they will murder me at the
banquet"
The ovation which the young, smooth
faced southerner, almost unknown in
New York, received ut the dinner that
night when the last ringing sentence
Of his speech had been spoken never
has been equaled ON n similar occa-
sion, and his fellow citizens at home
stood for hours In the rain in crowds
waiting to greet him on his arrival as
the spokesman Of the new south. His
progress from local to national
reputation had been made In a bound.

In spite of the fact that the season
