Colonel Canaeron'S Eloquent
Words of Welcome

At the meeting Of the Grand Camp
of Confederate Veterans at Petersburg
on Wednesday, Colonel William E,
Cameron, Of that City, delivered the
address Of welcome, The speech was o
gem. at Is the finest one l ever
heard" said one veteran. All around
him the same sentiment was expressed.
at the hotels and at the general
headquarters the veterans spoke of it
with marked enthusiasm. They cheered
it for a long time after the last
words of the peroration had been
spoken.
Cononel Cameron said:
Grand Commander and Veterans:

"The ties that bind US are not thos-
brittle things of yesterday, which form
the basis Of that which men call friend

"For back, in the springtime OF our

Mans Superiority,

One sees many curious phases of hui
man nature in the safe deposit vaults
of a banking insttution--from the wo-
men who never by any chance know
where their keys are and go through
bag and pocketbook with reckless haste
to the man who is not quite certain
that he has locked his box and returns
to the vault three or four times puts
his key in the lock, shakes it hard and
finally goes away convinced that "all
is. we'll" But in recent experience with
a new customer to whom was renting
box the climax was reached When
l handed him the keys and said:
"Now, here are two keys. Separate
them so that if you lose one you will
have the other to admit you"
He quickly replied:
Every Well l will put one on my
key ring and lock the other up in my
box
And yet they tell us that men are
more logical than women.-New Lip

PRETTY ROUGH SPORT.
A Crrel Game Played In the Camps
of Canadian Lumbermen.

So full of peril is the lumberman's
life that even his sports and games
must be spiced with danger or they
will pail upon his taste. On the long
winter nights a cruel game called
"Jack, where be ye?" is frequently
played.
The middle of the largest room in the
camp is cleared Two men are secure
ly blindfolded and, having previously
drawn lots for the first whack, they
kneel on the floor. In his right hand
each man holds "a stout leather strap,
in his left another leather strap, or a
rope is held by the end, either close to
the floor OF, in some camps, actually
on it. The latter strap, being kept
taut by the combatants, guarantees a
uniform distance between them. They
are quite near enough to hurt each
other severely, which not infreauently
| happens.
| Now, the man who has been lucky
enough to draw the first call shouts,
Jack, where be ye?" to which his OPP
ponent must Immediately answer,
"Here 1 be-" Then the first man
Il
| strikes at the place where he imagines
his adversary to be, with the heavy
leather strap. If he hits his man, he
| is entitled to another blow-may call
out again, Jack, where be YEP and
the other must answer, Here be-"
This is continued till the first man
misses, when he must take his turn
| at being struck
The others form a ring around the
two combatants, bets are made, and
each faction encourages and applauds
it's chosen man. There are regular
rounds, and the game is usually kept
up until one or the other has had
enough or perhaps till one is carried
off the scene wounded Hard heads
can stand hard knocks, and volunteers
for the sport are numerous. At the
beginning there is generally no malice
A hard blow is struck-it is expected
it is the game. But it occasionally
happens that the game develops into
fierce duel-Pearson's

CLOSE FIGURING.

How a Woman Upheld Her Reputn-
ton For Economy.
She was the wife of an official Of a
st. Paul street corporation. Her one
pet hobby was economy. Though her
husband made an excellent salary, she
was rigid in her rules pertaining to the
buying of the necessaries for the
household. She would haunt bargain
counters and market stalls for hours in
order to get the benefit of reduction
of few cents on the article desired.
The corporation official, with much
laughter used to tease his better half
about what he4called her "stinginess."
So one day. feeling hurt at his ridicule,
she resolved to take him to market
with her and demonstrate beyond a
doubt that she was most economical
buyer. He consented, STIMULATING that
he was not to be asked to carry the
basket.
Arriving at the market, she made
several purchases, and then at one
stall inquired the price of eggs.
'sWhat," she exclaimed, "16 cents a
dozen? No, indeed. that is too high"
She dragged her reluctant husband
after her from one stand to another,
still inquiring the price of eggs and al
ways receiving the same answer until
near the upper end of the market.
Here she found a dealer who offered
to sell her eggs in any quantity for Is
cents. To her husband she said Joy
ously:
There, | told you SO. Why, those
others We're robbers"
Turning to the salesman, she ordered
half dozen eggs, gravely handed him
the S cents asked in payment and
went home, prattling away about the
worth Of economy in marketing and
the alleged willingness of dealers to
gouge the unsuspecting customer.
And to this day she does not know
that her husband and his friends
laughed over it at the club.-Baltimore

New Orleans, Oct. 16.-Monday
night fire broke out on the thiid
floor of the fve-story iron-frame
building on Camp street, owned by

al, which front on the two cross
streets between which the fire was
raging, almost touching the walls OF
the burning building.
The flames spread TO the Teutonla

it, too, was a total wreck. Half doz-
en- small flames broke out on adjoin-
ing roofs, but were extinguished.
The Tulane building, occupied by
the Union Furniture Co., was valued
at $4,000. II was insured for 100000,
and the loss was total. The furniture
companys stock was valued at 100000,

Insurance building was worth about

Mount Vernon, o., Oct. 16.-The
vault of the bank at Danville, o., was
blown open, early Tuesday morning,
