WOULDN'T STAY BURIED.
Amusing Adventure of the Man Who
Was Dissatisfied With His Coffin.

A few weeks ago an Armenian,
while walking in the bazaar CO Adana,
in Asia Minor, fell on the pavement in
fit. The people in his vicinity, find
ing him unconscious, sent for the mu-
nicipal physician, who examined him
and certified that he was dead.
He was recognized as being an Ar
menian, SO his body was handed over
to the authorities of a neighboring
Armenian church. There was not
enough money in his pockets to pay
for the expense of his burial. so the
authorities postponed the funeral to
the next day, by which time they
hoped to collect enough money from
charitable Armenians. The body was
put in coffin and left in a corner OF
the church.
At night, however, the man returned
to his senses, and finding himself in a
coffin, the narrowest of all prisons, be-
gan to shrek wildly. His voice and
the Gathering of the coffin awoke the
priest and attendants, who were sleep
ing in an adjacent building. They
were terrified, but eventually entered
the church, and perceiving whence the
cries came rescued the man.
Early next morning the latter went
into a coffin shop, where, by strange
coincidence, the first person he met
was the man who had nailed up his
coffin the night before. The latter

The Cathedral of the West

Changed unspeakably and utterly.
says Emerson Hough in the Century,
the old West lies in ruins. To pick
about among those ruins may. indeed
be to find here and there a bit of local
color; but were it not better to reflect
that this color may be only the broken
bits of a cathedral pane? Restore that
cathedral, in recollection, in imagina.
ton ct least, if it be within the skill of
art or literature to do so. Restore it.
and write upon it's arch the thought
that history may be more than a mere
recital of wars and religions; that the
destruction of human life may be ma.
tionally not SO great as the develop.
ment of human character. Give the
men Of the old West, parents of the
men of the new west, this epitaph-
that they had character. Let the
heroes have place of honor in their
own cathedral; and so may the west

western skies smile over them remem.

Geronimo.

Geronimo, who has had more crimes
laid to him than any other Indian war
rior, is a good Indian these days, and
leads a quiet and peaceful life. He
is now a prisoner at Fort Sill, Okla
homa, and the officers allow him all
the privileges possible under the rules
governing prisoners of war. Although
prisoner he is paid sS5 month as a
government scout, but is not allowed
to carry loaded gun. He has no
work to do, and spends much of his
time making bead work and other
fancy articles, which he sells to white
visitors. Out Of this trade, it is said
he makes $4,000 a year. When the
old warrior is asked if he has saved
any money he says: "Me no save any
money-me spend it on squaws and
heap gladness." By squaws he means
wives, and he has several, but he. does
not live with any of them, preferring a
tent in summer and grass wickiup in
winter. Geronimo said to be so
years old. He does not know his age.

A PAINFUL STORY.

She thought he was a Daisy,
And he though she was duck,
To win her love would be to him
A wondrous streak of luck;
But he hadn't met her nanny,
And she hadn't met his dad,
And their lives had been less dismal
II he had, and II she had.
They met each other in the park,
This Daisy and this Duck;
The winged shaft from. Cupid's bow
Quite through their hearts had
struck.
Her nanny wasn't ION to it."
His dad knew not "the ropes"
And II they hadn't soon caught on,
There'd been no blasted hopes.
Alas, for Daisy's bitter woe,
Likewise the tears OF Duck,
When on each tender heart there fell
The cruel, horrid stroke,
Her rnammy's wrath came with jolt,
His Dads came with boom,
Her cries, his screams were heard
afar,
Adown the alleys gloom.
And now they seldom go abroad,
Nor Daisy, nor yet Duck.
They tell their friends in confidence,
Their gentle hearts are broke;
But boom" and Jolt" not only fell
Upon each loving heart,
'ris noted that when e'er they sit,
The tears of sorrow start.
