A NOBLE ENEMY.
The Fate Of Mokrani, a MOslem Chief
of Africa.

The Fate of MOkrani, a MOslem Chief
of Africa.
France was never in greater danger
of losing her colonies in Africa than
during the war with Germany in 1870
The troops were recalled from Africa
to take part in the conflict that was
going on against France, and Algeria
was left almost defenseless.
The hour for which the conquered
races had long waited had come, and
If holy war had been proclaimed it
is probable that the French would have
been driven from northern Africa.
But the tribes did not rise while the
French had their hands full on the
other side Of the Mediterranean, and
the fact was due to their fidelity to
solemn pledge.
When the war broke out chief of
great influence among the tribes, Mo-
krani, gave his word to the governor
general of Algeria that there should
be no insurrectiOn while the war lasted
That word was faithfully kept. Disas-
ter after disaster followed the French
arms. The defeats Of the war cul-
minated in the surrender of Paris.
But not man of the tribes Of kabylia
stirred. The Moslem's faith was
plighted; the Moslem's faith was kept
When, however, the last battle had
been fought and the treaty Of peace
signed, Mokrani, then released from
his word, gave the governor general
notice that in forty-eight hours he
would declare war. The French
armies, released from duty at home,
hurried across the Mediterranean. The
end was inevitable. Mokrani, seeing
that all was lost, put himself at the
head Of his warriors and fell fighting
in the front rank. The French erected
monument to mark the spot where
their noble enemy persisted.

CREEPING BAGS.
The Best Way to Make These Useful
Baby Garments.

Baby Garments.
Absurd as baby appears in one
there is no more useful garment than
the practical creeping bag if correctly
made. A closed end to the bag to cover
the baby's legs and feet is a great mis-
take, as it seriously hampers the childs
motions, but the bag made with length
enough to turn up under the skirts and
button or tie around the waist, entirely
protecting the petticoats and yet leav-
ing the baby's feet free for exercise, is
a great success. The child uses his
feet to propel himself or push himself
over the floor, and Of course his mecca.
sins and stockings will be soiled in the
process, but one can save the more
perishable lace and lawn by using a
creeping bag as covering for his
dress.
Bingham is the best material to
choose, and two or three should be
made, so that one may always be
clean. One and a half yards of blue

WEBSTER CITY Ia, Sept. 81
McElbaney, who terrOrized Cass town
ship. north of this city, and then es-
capped in running fight from posse
of twenty armed farmers led by Sher-
if Thompson and Deputy Sheriff
Brown, has been run to earth. He is
in Jail at Blue Earth, Mimi, and has
been positively identified by Sheriff
Thompson. He was arrested there for
breaking and entering a farm house,
where he stole Sal in cash. AS he
will be first tried upon this charge,
the local authorities do not expect to
put him on trial here until he has
served his time in Minnesota.
McElhaney is a desperate man, how

to identify him, they will take me

before l will again go to the peniten
tiary." The officers do not doubt but
that he will keep his word, and a close
watch will be kept upon him.
By a smooth ruse Sheriff Thomp-
son recovered most of the money Nc
Elhaney had stolen. Mc-Elhaney al
ready has a twelve years prison rec
ord, and is but 32 years of age. About
a year ago he was employed in Cass
township upon the Ed Foster farm.
By careful advances he alienated the
affections of Mrs. Foster, and the two
eloped. The man, however, was UNI
able to provide for his paramour, and
about a month ago they returned to
the city. Mrs Foster going to the
home of her parens in Cass township.
McElhaney lived in the woods about
the cornfields of the township. 1t was
in this way that the reign of terror
began, and, through the strange in
fatuation of McElhaney for the Foster
woman, the man was ultimately run
down.
McElhaney denies being responsible
for all the crimes committed in Cass
township. He says he held up no one,
nor did he fire upon persons ordered
to halt and who instead whipped
their teams into a run. But whether
he did or did not Cass township is
now resting easy and will watch the
course of his trial in Blue Earth with
great interest, in the hope he may be
given a long prison sentence. After
his liberation in Minnesota he will be

Soft CASTLE Soap.

Many persons who cannot use CASTLE
soap for the face and hands will find it
agrees perfectly with the body, and in
that case is better for the bath than
any other soap. One of the most con-
venient things to have on every wash
stand is a jar Of soft CASTLE soap. This
is made by scraping a cake Of pure
soap and adding about pint and a
huff of water Put them together into
a saucepan and stand over brisk
heat, but not one that will boil the
liquid. When the soap is dissolved
pour into wide mouthed jar. When
the mixture cools it will be Jelly. This
is excellent to have by to rub on the
hands when washing, diluted with
more water to which couple of
pinches of soda are added. 1t is a
harmless and cleansing shampoo to be
rubbed into the head, which Is then
rinsed thoroughly.

SHARPENING A PENCIL.

a Mans Character.

In This Act, 1t Is Said, You May Read
Mans Character.
No woman should marry a man till
she has seen him sharpen a lead pen
Gil. She can tell by the way he does
1t whether he is suited to her or not.
Here are a few infallible rules for her
guidance in the matter:
The man who holds the point toward
him and close up against his shirt
front Is slow and likes to have secrets
He Is the kind of man who when the
dearest girl in the world finds out that
they are and what he means by cali
ing on them will assume an air of ex-
cessive dignity.
The man who holds the pencil out
at arms length and whites away at
1t, hit or miss, is impulsive, jolly, good
natured and generous.
He who leaves blunt point is dull
and plOdding and will never amount
to much. He is really good hearted,
but finds his chief pleasure in the
commonplace things of life.
He who sharpens his pencil an inch
or more from the point is high strung
and imaginative and subject to ex-
uberant flights Of fancy. He will al
ways be seeking to mount upward and
accomplish things in the higher re-
giOns of business and art and his
wife's greatest trouble will be to hold

flying off altogether on a tangent.
The man who slArpens his pencil all
around smoothly and evenly, as though
it were planed off in an automatic
sharpener, is systematic and slow to
anger, but he is SO undertaking from
fixed principle that he would drive q
woman with a sensitive temperament
to distraction in less than six months
On the contrary, he who jumps in
and leaves the sharpened wood as Jag
ged as saw teeth around the top has
a nasty temper and will spank the
There are certain women who can
manage that kind of man beautifully.
however, and if he gets wife with
calm, persuasive eye he will come
down from his high horse in few
minutes and be as meek as lamb.
The man who doesn't stop to polish
the point of lead once the wood is cut
away has a streak of cOarseness in his
nature.
He who shaves off the lead till the
point is like needle is refined, deli
cate and sensitive. He will not be
likely to accomplish so much as his
more common brother, but he will new

good man to tie to.-New York Press.

lensible Advice to Women Who Have
to Travel Alone.

yens1ble Advice to Women VINO H0V0
to Travel Alone.
When you go to a hotel you will be
met at the door by a porter. and you
can either go to the Office with him or
ask him to engage a room for you from
the clerk But it is altogether custom
airy for a woman to go to the office to
engage her room, and you need not feel
that you are doing anything conspicu-
Gus. State what sort of room you wish
and learn the price. The clerk will
give you the key Of your room. When
you are there, do as you please. II you
want the chambermaid, ring for her
and tell her what you need. After that
behave as you would in any private
house where you felt at home. Leave
the key at the Office when you are go
ing out. Bear in mind that for the time
being the hotel is your home and that
you have right to order anything in it
that you are prepared to pay for. Don't
be afraid Of any one.
Keep the same thing in mind when
you order meals. Take your time over
the menu card Select what you want
as you would if the waiter were not
there. If you look grave and dignied
the attendants will think you are a
naughty, reserved person who knows 1t
all and will defer to you. Keep up
this impression. Tip the waiter a
quarter for any order of from 81 to 81
and beyond that on a scale Of 10 per
cent The bell boy who takes up your
bag will expect dime tip. The cham
bermaid will look for a quarter if she
has done anything especial for you. If
not, don't tip her.
Don't be afraid of anything or any
one. In all probability they are all as
much in awe of you as you are OF
them Philadelphia North American.

THE HOME DOCTOR.

Wet cooking soda spread upon thin
cloth and bound over a corn will re-
move it.
If ice is applied to a burned finger
until it stops smarting the skin will
dry down and leave no blister.
A raw egg, swallowed, will usually
detach any foreign substance, like a
fish bone, if lodged in the throat.
A paste made Of equal parts Of brim-
stone, saltpeter and lard, if bound
about felon, will cure it. Renew as
soon as it gets dry.
Never NEEDLE with the ear if a for
eign body such as a bead, seed or pei
let enters it. Leave it absolutely alone
and have physician attend to it.

A Homemade Antique.

A woman whose desire for beautiful

created from an old square piano case
a magnificent library table. The works
of the instrument had become abso-
tutely worthless, SO they were taken
out When the piano was closed it
was a tight box of rosewood. The
front piece was taken off, and a pine
drawer was fitted in with the front
piece for the front of the drawer. Two
old fashioned glass knobs We're screw
ed into the drawer for handles. The
legs were beautifully carved, but were
Of course too long, so they were sawed
off to make the top come to a conven-
lent height for a table. The whole
thing was polished highly, and the re-
suit was a table that could not be
bought for $1OO.-Brown Book.
