Chief Goes Shonpina.

Chief Ga Ne Cue the huge Indian who plays d leading role in .'The Flaming Arrow" at the Bijou theatre this week, went on a shopping tour yesterday in a Birmingham department store. As he stalked into the establishment with all the dignity and gravity of the noble red man 1t can readily be imagined that something of a commotion resulted among the saleslades and customers who were scattered about
 The chief /wanted to purchase a silk petticoat for his squaw and after he had been directed to the proper depart ment he began to make his selection. After a great deal of weighty cogitation and numerous "umphs' the chief finally picked out gorgeous. affair, burnt almond in shade and one of the loud est garments in the store. It pleased his critical eye.
 How mucn?' asked Chief Ga Ne Cue.
 Twenty dollars" replied the clerk.
 "Umph," remarked the Indian, and he proceeded to study the pattern again. However. he did not show any disposition to haggle and depositing g with the clerk, he strode out to get the remainder Of the money In a few minutes he was back again and paid the balance.
 As the bundle was being wrapped up the clerk said: You are good to your wife"
 She good to me- replied the chief, inn mensely pleased "She very little" he continued. "Only come to here' meas z. ,f r., nous frame. Have three wives. Two dead" Ther the bundle came and with the remarks, Matinee today" Chief Ga Ne Cue marched out, well pleased with his purchase.

 It appears that Johann Hoch's method of promoting his matrimonial syndicate was first to play upon zither and then play on the heart strings or his victims.
 An oetogenarian who gave a dinner to 100 widows at which he was the only maa present has just passed away in peace. One hundred widows pitted against one lone man and he an octogenarian at thatl It is not every man who has the courage to face a masked battery of 100 pairs of widows eyes at a dinner table and 1t is not every man who has survived the trial and lived to die in bed without at least one of his guests to shed tear in an official capacity.
 Another man has departed from this troubled life carrying with him the repu- tation of never having told a lie With all due respect to the Father of His Country" and that diverting legend of the cherry tree which has cast a halo about his name it is a courageous thing for d man to calmly asser- that a fse- hood has never passed his lips. He should think long and deeply before thus com hitting himself. It will be recalled that Solomon remarked that all men are liars and Solomon was no fool. It may be possible for a man to live a long life with out ever yielding to prevarication, but 1t is not probable and it is much easier to stir up admiration for man whose claims to greatness are more consistent with that human frailty which is pro-

 Along with Captain Goodwin, And there we saw the men and boys
 As thick as Hasty Pudding. There they had little gun,
 As big as log of maple, Mounted on a little cart,
 A load for fathers cattle. And every time they fired it off
 It took a horn of powder; It went something like fathers gun, Only a Nation louder.
 Cornstalks twist your hair,
 Cartwheels around you: Great dragons swallow you up
 And mortar and pestle pound you.

Russian Local Government.

A correspondent asks, What is a zemstvo?" A zemstvo is a grade above a mir, which is the unit of govern ment in Russia, just as the township is the unit in New England, and the county in Alabama. The mir has a chief or master or board which con ducts local affairs in it's village, for the peasants do not live on the land they cultivate, but are clustered, as ill Franco or Germany, in nearby viii lage.
 Zemstvos were recently organized, and they may be municipal or provin-

FATE.

By Bret Harte The sky is clouded, the rocks are bare. The spray of the tempest is white in air: The winds are out with the waves at
 play, And l shall not tempt the sea today. The trail is narrow the wood is dim, The panther clings to the arching limb; And the lions whelps are abroad at play, And I shall not join in the chase today. But the ship sailed safely over the sea, And the hunters came from the chase
 in glee; And the town that was builded upon
 rock Was swallowed up in the earthquake

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 There is no excitement in doing the things you are allowed to to do.
 A girl doesn't have to have faith in a man to trust him; she has only to like him.
 A woman is mighty patient the way she can wait for her son to become a great man.
 It seems very reckless to a woman to invest money in bonds when clothes could be bought with it.
 A wife has great deal of faith in herself to think her husband cant be in- terested in any other woman.

1.-THE Tomb Closed
by a Stone. -

We know that the door OF the Lords
tomb was closed by stone rolled be-
fore the opening. Such stone was
lately found
In a garden about a mile north OF
the city there was seen little hollow.
A spade was used 10 deepen this hoI-
low, and tomb was found, into which
The earth had been falling.
The stone OF this door was rounded
on the edges so that IL would roll, and
on the nearly at front Of IL was some
thing written. This writing Is what
Is called Cutie, but on one has been
able 10 read IL.
The tomb was cut out Of the rock,
and we must go down few steps TO
enter. so Peter and John and Mary
are all said TO have stopped down and
looked into the sepulcher."
The floor was so cut that there was
q seat left on the side, and in the mid
die a table was left about six feet Ey
three feet, and rising two feet above
the floor. On this the body would be
laid, rolled in linen with fragrant
herbs. and on the seat the friends
would sit when they made daily visits.
After a time the body would be placed
I'm a cavity, and then the cavity would
be closed with masonry.
Somewhat like this must have been
the tomb OF Joseph in his garden, and
on some such table the body of the
Lord was laid. The stone was then
put in place, and was sealed by cord
fastened with wax 10 the stone and
the wall. Then all was still until the
Divine saying was fulfilled: After
two days will He revive Us; in the
third day He will raise us up and we
shall live in His sight"
This was the victory of life over
death, of good over evil. SO did our

At Easter-Tide.

Music and crowds, and day perfect flower
: Ablossom from its calyx, night;
And we two, captives of the witching hour,
Luiled in its leash of song and light.
Before the altar. like the morn's white soul,
The lilies breathe their fragrant prayer;
And all the air is quick with dreams they
toll
From April's fancy haunted lair.
Dim hopes and thrills, too vague for word
of tongue,
And strange insistent moods of gloom,
As if some strain that Persian Omar sun
Were prisoned in their sweet perfume.
Or were our souls at some far Eastertide,
OF which to-day is still part,
Before the altar folded side by side
Within one lily's golden heart?
John Dahl White.
