Richmond Dispatch: We call atten-
tion to the fact that Terre Haute,
where a Negro was lynched the other
day, is not country village in the un-
civilized and Negro hating South; but
a city of some 10000 inhabitants, in the
highly civilized Negro loving state of
Indiana. And furthermore-but why
go further? The lynching of Negroes
Is becoming so common at the North as
to hardly call for comment.

HE WARNED DEPEw.-Chauncey M.
Depew was one evening entertaining a
party of congenial friends in Washing
ton. He was at his best. The affair
was partaking largely Of the nature OF
a lightning monologue; but as the quail
ity Of his talk was, as usual, fully up
to the quantity, the others were not
complaining. But even he must take
breath, and as he paused momentarily
to do so one of his friends suddenly
Strengthened up in his chair and in a
most impressive manner said:
Senator, you might have pneumonia
and recover, you might have yellow fe-
yer and recover, you might have small
pox and recover; but" and he shook a
warning finger solemnly, IF you ever
get lockjaw you'll burst!'-Harper's

NOVEL ENJoYMENT.-There was a
commander on a British cruiser who
was concentrated energy person1fed
He was the man who never slept. HE
was the bugbear of the crew, all and
sundry, hence the point of McAlister's
tale.
McAlister was a boatswain who un-
expectedly came into a small fortune
whereupon, quitting the service, he
bought a snug little cottage as many
miles away from salt water as it is
possible for a man to get in England
When he was comfortably settled he
employed a boy to come to his door eV-
cry morning at half past 5, knock and
say:
"Please, sir the commander wants

Whereupon every morning the now
free boatswain had the JOY Of singing
out in his grandest voice:

der."-Pall Mall Magazine.

LUXURIOUS HoNEsTY.-At the conclu-

excellent teacher, desirous of admins

ed of the boys if they had enjoyed the
repast.
They all replied, "Yes, sir"
"Then," asked the tee cher, IF you
had slipped into my garden and picked
these strawberries without my leave
would they have tasted as good as
now?"
Every small boy in that strained and
sticky company shrieked, mo, Sir"
why not?'
"'Cause," said little Thomas, with
the cheerfulness of conscious virtue
Then we shouldn't have had cream
and sugar with 'em!"

Of the Brule Sioux. who pined and died
at Laramie when she heard that the
soldier she loved had come back from
the far east with pale-facrd bride.
There were red men OF the Ogallallas
to whom the name of Hal Folsom was a
taunt and an insult to this day, men
whom his father had vainly sought to
appease, and they were Burning Star,
the lover, and two younger braves, the
brothers of the girl they swore that
Hal had lured away.
South OF the Platte as ii rolled past
Frayne and Laramie, those Indians
were bound by treaty not to go. North
of the Platte Hal Folsom was warned
never again to venture. These were
the stories which were well known to

An Epitaph That Failed.

A Louisville wit goes to church, or
did go TO church, where a prominent
member of the congregation who had
pew close by used to slumber through
the entire service. When the text was
given out he nodded, and by the time
the pastor got good start he was OBJ
livious OF everything until the pastor
woke him up. After awhile the man
died, and one day shortly afterward
one of the friends of the family came
TO the wit and said: "See here, old boy,
1 don't pretend TO be smart and up-to-
date like you, but Blanks wife has sent
for me and asked me to arrange about
the inscription on her husbands mon
ument. She wants something short
and appropriate, and over this she is
going TO have his name and the date Of
his birth and death. I'm the last per-
son in the world 10 undertake such a
job, so / thought you might help me
out" "Why, with pleasure" said the
joker, and his grin should have warned
the caller, but il didn't. Taking out a
pencil and notebook, the fiend wrote a
line or two and handed it over. "See
how you like it," he said, and as the APP
licant read the lines they ran as fol-
lows: George Blank, born, died
