TOO GREAT A RISK.

et''I'm going to give up the business, :" said the life insurance agent with a sigh. q don't care whether they meant it for a joke or not It's a hard life, and. people have no business trying to be funny at my expense
 q have always prided myself upon my ability to land a man when once succeeded in getting his attention. But I had a new experience the other day. I was working hard to convince a par ty that it was his duty to take out some of our insurance upon his life for the protection of his family, and saw that I had him wavering, when I had to pause for breath. and he broke in with.
 By the way, how much do you carry on your life?'
 While I. taken unaware by the abruptness of the question, was stam- mering a reply, he escaped. The incl dent set me to thinking. I had in- duced hundreds of men to insure their lives for the benefit of their families. and yet I had never thought far enough to carry any insurance upon my own life: It didn't look consistent now that came to consider the ques- tion. and I resolved to remedy it at once. To think is to act with me, and sat down and filled out an application at once for a good round sum.

then and there to bedeck themselves. Those that wore the big gray felt hats pinned a band of the fringe around the, brim, with the balls dangling; some made necklaces and bracelets of it, and others used it for belts, while all that was left they 1ooped fantastically over their red blankets.
 There were broad grins of satisfac- tion on their faces, when suddenly the leader said: "Eat," and off they strode in search of food.
 One squaw, says the Detroit Free Press, got big sack full of bananas and, calmly seating herself in the middle of the pavement in the busiest part of the town, began to devour them. This was too much for group of small boys near by. They imme7 diately dared the .loravest of their number to steal or beg a banana. As the former was far from safe, he put on hungry, woe-begone look and ap7 preached, gesticulating and saying: .sMe eati" The squaw eyed him un- blinl1ingIy and went on bolting ba- nanas. But with his companions guy ing him from distance, the urchin would not give up, so the pantomime continued until the last banana disap- peared, when she rose with bounce, slapped it's skin full in the boys face, and strode off after more.

LOST RIVER.


 Nearly every visitor who comes 10 Orangeyille, Ind, has pointed out 10 him on of the chief points of interest in Orange county-the place where Lost River made it's first appearance, after long course under the earth The town is perched picturesquely on the rocks above the natural wonder The pool has the appearance of an in- mense spring, and the waters DOH anu swirl up from the unknown deptns. The water is clear and pure, haVlhS passed through natures filters of saud and gravel Through the summer the water is as cold as that drawn from deep well in the winter the tenn perature seems warmer, as the pool has never been known to freeze over. Boats have been rowed over the buD- bling surface, while soundings were made with heavy pieces of iron ana lead and 800 feet of rope has been played out and failed to reach the bot tom.
 Half a mile above this point IS place known as the gulf, where the waters rise in a deep, funnel-like val ley, and flow above the surface Ill a serpentine course for about fifty yards. Then the river rusheS into a cavity and hides under the rocks again. It

 There is operated a queer device fer drawing water from the big pool. The device consists of two wires running over drum. which is turned by crank. The wires run on .pulleys to the pool, where they are anchored by heavy weights in the water. The ris- ing and falling of the pool does not interfere with the operations of the contrivance. A large tin bucket is fastened to one of the wires. It rolls down the incline until it strikes the water. when it turns over and sinks beneath the surface. The operator of the device feels the jerk, reverses the crank and the bucket speedily returns flied to the brim with cool, sparkling water-Chicago Post.

A YOUNG MANS PLIGHT.

 It was the second time that the hero of the story had accompanied the young lady home. She asked him if he wouldn't come in. He said he would.
 Sarah took his hat, told him to sit down, and left the room. She had hardly gone before her mother came in, smiled sweetly, and, dropping down beside the young man, said:
 q always did say that if a poor but respectable young man fell in love with our Sarah he should have my con- sent"
 The young man started with alarmi
 ''She has, acknowledged to me that she loves you.' continued the mother, '.and whatever is for her happiness is for mine.'' 'I-I-haven't-' stammered the young man.
 ''Oh, never mind; make no apology. I know you haven't much money, but of course, you'll live in my house."
 'sI had no idea off, he began.
 ''I know you hadn't, but it's all right" continued Sarah's mamma, re- assuringly. with your wages and what the boarders will bring in we shall get along as comfortably as pos Sible."

MELTON WAS BRUTAL.
That Is Why His Good Wife Will Never Again Buy "a Box of
 Cigars for Him.

Mrs. Melton, asserts the Chicago Tribune, is not going to buy any more cigars for her husband. She almost believes now that all the jokes in the comic papers anent the kind of cigars wives buy for their husbands are true. She has insisted ever since Christmas when she bought the first box of cigars for Mrs. Melton on purchasing all his tobacco for him.
 Mr. Melton thought it would be too bad to tell his wife just how bad the cigars were, since her only object in buying them was to contribute to his pleasure, so he smiled as sweetly as

BOTH PRAYERS ANSWERED.

General Joe Wheeler is good to the interviewer. He talks without re serve, as if speaking to a friend, says the Independent. He is modest in his manner, even meek looking, and cer- tainly no one at first sight would inn agine that this gentle, genial, kindly man was hero of some of the bold est, grimmest battles of modern times
 General o. o. Howard, who com manded one of the wings of Sher- mans army on the famous march to the sea, and who bore Lees first shock at Gettysburg, is another of pre- cisely the same type. No one could be simpler, kinder or gentler. In fact it seems to be the rule with men as with steel, that the hardest knocks produce the best temper. Old army officers and old physicians are apt to have a broad minded charity and a hopeful, sunny love of their kind which is rare elsewhere. They re- verse the rule of the witty French cynic: 'sThe more I know about men the better I like dogs.'
 The last time I interviewed Gen eral Howard it was on the subject of answers to prayers and I thought had him. In his famous fight with Stonewall Jackson the Union forces were defeated, so I inquired of Gen eral Howard:
 'sYou prayed before that battle?"
 ''Yes," he answered.
 ''Then how was it that he gained the victory? Did that mean that the union cause was wrong?''
 Very gently the good old general re- piled: Both. our prayers were an- swered. Jackson prayed for immediate victory and I for the ultimate tri- umph of our cause. We both got what we prayed for"

Postmaster General Smiths Orders
 Regarding Second Glass Matter.
 WASHINGTON. July Postmaster General Smith has signed three orders amending i'll important particulars three postal regulations affecting second class mail matter. The changes will effect sweeping and radical reforms in the de- partment practices and methods of treat ing this class of matter.
 The first order amends section PIC, which is the general definition, so as to exclude from the second class publica- tions which have the characteristics of books. This amendment is in these words:
 Periodical publications herein referred characteristics of books, but only such as consist of current news or miscellaneous literary matter or both (not excluding ad- vertising) and conform to the statutory characteristics of second class matter.''
 The second order amends section 2S1 in several particulars, the principal one being that publications the subscriptions to which are not founded on their value as news or literary journals and which by the general use of premiums or other considerations in the form of chances to win prizes, etc, to induce subscriptions in effect circulate at apparently nominal rate will be excluded from the second class
 that unsold copies of second class publi- cations may not be returned at the pound rate to news agents or to publishers

YOUNG WOMEN SAW WOOD.
of Christian Endeavor Society at Providence, R. I.

a wood-sawing contest, with two young women as the operators, was the unique conclusion of the semian- nual meeting of the Christian Endeav- or society of the Lakewood Baptist church at Providence, R. l., the other night. The event was not down on the programme, and even to the prin- eipals the performance was sur prise
 At the close of the meeting the president arose, and, stating that the two young women members who last February debated the question wheth- CT woman could do the work of man would prove it by saving wood, brought out two sawbucks and two sections of the same log of wood. It was good able-bodied log, too. Also, he had two saws, with nice, sharp teeth.
 The two young women looked dis mayed. Then the humor of the situ- ation dawned on them and they smiled. One of them dared the other to do it, and that settled the ques- tion. Some of the young men showed the girls how to place the log on the buck and how to steady it by plant ing knee on it. Also, one of them was advised to take fast strokes Tn the contest to determine the quickest sawyer of the two.
 The girls took positions and when the word was given started at it. One of the saws flew up and down in short, jerEy strokes until the teeth stuck at intervals in the log, while the buck danced over the floor. The other young woman sawed like vet eran and had the advantage of weight and knee position. She finished her log in one minute and 50 seconds, winning the race. as well as the de- bate. while the other took two min- utes and 32 seconds for the feat
