Holding His Job For Him.

"Of all the excuses have ever heard
from people for not paying their bills, y
said collector for prominent firm
the other day, Il got the neatest today
from a very wealthy man who always
owes the house bill. No matter
whether the bill is for $40 or 500, he
always pays $5. l have gone back the
next week and got $5 more, and once l
went back twice in one week, and he
paid me So each time and seemed glad
to see me. got to know him pretty
well, and the other day l asked him
why he did not pay it all, as l knew he
had the money"
WELL said the old fellow, If pay
you everything l owe you at one time
you will collect so fast that pretty soon
you will be out of job for the want of
something to collect
81 don't know whether that was his
reason or not but let the subject drop
and am just going around there now
for. another $5."-Memphis Scimitar.

The Gentle Reader.

What has become of the gentle fead-
er? asks Samuel M. Crothers in The
Atlantic. One does not like to think
that he has passed away with the
stagecoach and the weekly news letter
and that henceforth we are to be con-
fronted only with the stony glare Of the
intelligent reading public. Once upon
time-that is to say, generation or
two ago-he was very highly esteemed.
TO him books were dedicated with long
rambling prefaces and with episodes
which were their own excuse for being.
In the very middle of the story the
writer would stop with word Of apol-
ogy or explanation addressed to the
gentle reader or at the very least with
q nod or a wink no matter If the fate
Of the hero be in suspense or the plot
be inextricably involved.
"Hang the plot! says the author. 81
must have a chat with the gentle read
er and find out what he thinks about
it."
And SO condolences were interchang-
ed, and there was gossip about the uni
verse and suggestions in regard to the
queerness Of human nature until at
last the author would jump up with:
Enough of this, gentle reader; perhaps
it's time to go back to the story"

Britain's New War Medal.

The medal for the South African cam
paign will be the most expensive and
the most ornate issued by the War Of
flee in recent years. The medal proper
is a ve-pointed star, with a gold CEN
ter surrounded by a ring Of bronze, on
which the words "South Africa" appear
in raised letters. In the center Of all
Is a miniature Of the Queen. The medal
is the same size as the Khedival Star Of
1881. The ribbon is Of four colors, g
stripe of khaki in the center, two Of
white and one each of red and blue.
There will probably be a bar granted
for each, important engagement.

Tmhrellas for Savages.

Nearly twenty Englishmen are now
at work on seven umbrellas for an
Ashantee chief and his faithful staff.
There is nothing under the sun chief
can wear, not even excepting CASTOR
silk hat or a red-lined cavalry coat, so
calculated to strike awe into the minds
Of refractory natives and so 1mbue
them with a spirit Of obedience as
"gingham." Traders, when they want
to obtain free access to the country OF
one Of the hostile tribes, make presents
Of wornout clothing to the natives, or
even "gamp" to a particularly obsti-
nate and pugnacious chief.
A London syndicate of gold coast
traders has given the order and are
paying for the umbrellas in question,
which will be given to bribe the vain,
dusky warriors. James Smith Il Sons,
Of Oxford street, are making them at
f35. for the large one and EGO each for
the others. When finished the umbrel-
las will be gorgeous beyond the dream
Of the most imaginative negro.
For the chief present will be nearly
fifteen feet across, quite descent
sized tent In fact, on state occasions
it will be so used. The handle will
then be stuck in the ground and six
slaves will act as the tent pegs. The
material from which it is being made is
silk, and the colors are to be "red,
white and bluev' What will some OF
our political stump orators say to this?
Round the edge will be a deep rich
fringe, and on the top an elaborately
chased cup surmounted by a British
lion, rampant.
For the staff the umbrellas will be
somewhat smaller and less majestic.
What rejoicings there will be in the
land when the carriers arrive with
those parasol-tentlike umbrellas; and
how pleased will the city men be with
the return for their good-natured and
thoughtful action!-London Express.

A WHOLE VILLAGE
Attacked by Grip One Family Escaped
by Using Pe.ru.na.
wINONA. Stark Co., Ind.


During the winter I and my FAMILY
of six were taken with la grippe. me
disease was very prevalent at that
time in the village where | resided,
nearly everyone being sick with II.
Our doctors treated it as best they
could. but were very unsuccessful In
the treatment of it. AS soon as my
family were taken sick l went to the
drug store and bought six bottles OF
Pe-ru-na. and we all took it according
to the directions given on the bottle;
and although our cases seemed to be
more than usually violent in the out
set. yet our recovery was prompt, and
we were all we'll much sooner than
those who were treated by the regular
physicians.
Many people died of this la grippe
during this epidemic, and few, If any,
were sick so short time as myself and
family. After we were all we'll we
had one bottle of Pe-ru-na left.

The Boy who Learned the way.


He was very young-about 13-this
boy who spent most of his time in the
studios watching the artists draw and
paint and wishing he cousl do the
same.
what kind of pencils do you useY'
he said one day, and they gave him
one of the kind. That night he tried to
make q figure he had seen one of the
artists draw, it seemed SO easy. But
he could not do the same kind Of work.
Perhaps I haven't the right kind of
paper" he reasoned. 81 will get a
piece tomorrow" Even the right kind
of paper did not help him any.
81 need studio and an easel" was
his next conclusion. II have the de-
sire; surely all l need now are the
necessary surroundings"
A few years Of impatient waiting
passed before he secured the "neces
sary surroundings" and when he had
them all and still found it impossible
to draw the truth dawned upon him.
Il know what is wrong" he cried.

nothing of the principles of art. l

IN ITS THROAT.
The Cuckoo Carries Its Egg to Some
Other Birds Nest.

The Cuckoo Carries Its Egg to Some
Other Birds Nest.
Some recent observations by a Brit
ish naturalist, If they are accurate,
should do much to solve the question
how the cuckoo deposits its eggs in
other birds nests. The naturalist was
sitting by the roadside when a cuckoo
lit on hedge at a short distance from
him. Presently the bird flew across to
the opposite hedge. Immediately there
was uproar among the little birds and
half a dozen sparrows set upon the
newcomer and drove it off. In this
there was nothing unusual, as the or
binary hard-working, conscientious
bird has natural antipathy to the
cuckoo.
After a brief struggle the cuckoo
flew away, to return to the charge in
the space Of few minutes. On it's first
appearance the naturalist had noticed
nothing curious about the cuckoo; but
now he observed that it's neck was
swollen up in a strange manner, as
though the bird had some large object
in it's esophagus. This time the cuckoo
made for different point in the hedge
and was not molested by the sparrows.
A pair of robins, however, barred it's
approach, and a fierce battle ensued.
The robins hung on to- their big adver-
sary with determination. The throat
was their chief point Of attack, and
the cuckoo was once or twice so hard
pressed that it opened it's beak and
squawked dismally. However, weight
told, and the cuckoo finally succeeded
in making it's way into the hedge. Here
it remained for a few moments, it's
tail being visible to the observer the
whole time.
After the bird had flown away the
naturalist went over to the spot. He
found a robins nest containing three
eggs, one of which was that of a
cuckoo. The egg was covered with a
sticky substance like saliva. No in
stance of the observation Of a cuckoo
actually laying an egg is recorded. This
birds position was such that it could
not have been laying an egg. Again
the fact that the bird squawked when
hard pressed by the robins proves that
1t was not carrying an egg in its mouth.
Finally there was the lump in the
throat and the saliva on the egg. From
all this the naturalist concluded that
the cuckoo is in the habit Of swallow
ing its egg as far as the upper part
of it's esophagus or somewhat in the
same manner as some snakes are said
to do ON the approach of danger, and
disgorging it in the nest which it has

A Rishon,s Retort.

At dinner party a young man was
once talking rather foolishly about
Darwin and his books. and he said to
the bishop of Winchester (Wilberforce).
"My lord. have you read Darwin's last
book on the Descent of ManY" "Yes.
have" said the bishop. whereupon
the young man continued: What non
sense it is talking of our being de-
scended from apes. Besides, can't
see the use Of such stuff. can't see
what difference it would make to me if
my grandfather was an ape"
no" the bishop replied; II don't see
that it would. But it must have made
an amazing difference to your grand
motherw
The young man had no more to say.
