A LAUGH IN TIME.

e Showed the Too Assertive Young
Woman Her ShoFtcoming.
Mrs. Leigh, an American living in
the Latin Quarter of Paris with her
son, an art student, and her school girl
daughter Of IL, was entertaining a
young countrywoman Of hers who had
recently come to Europe to study mu-
sic.
Mrs. Leigh had learned that Louise
Andrews was lonely strango, and
she wished her to feel at home in her
little apartment which was CHEEKY
haven to many. of the members Of the
American student colony In the quar-
ter.
Before the dinner was over she dis
covered that her guest would not be
likely to make many friends She was
too full of opinions formed on impulse,
which she expressed unlimited with We
hemence and freedom. Mrs. Leigh,
motherly woman full Of sympathy for
the youthful and inexperienced. caS
about in her mind for some gentle way
in which to help Louise bring to the
surface the softer and more winsome
side she felt sure was hidden beneatn
the somewhat bristling exterior the girl
presented.
"Our colleges" said Louise, when Ar
thur Leigh happened to mention Dis
American alma mater, do not turn
out all-round men. The development
is one sided. The English universities
produce the finest men. They are tnor'
oughly trained, cultivated, and equip
ped for life as the graduates OF QUE
colleges never are"
Arthur. astonished at her tactiesS
ness, looked down at his plate graVeV'
and Mrs. Leigh was about to inquire
bit pointedly, perhaps, If she had nao
much opportunity for comparing EN-
glish and American graduates, wneD
Adelaide, her daughter, began to laugh.
'Why are you amusedT asked
Louise, turning toward her with .

For an instant there was an 1--WE

CHAPTER XVIII.

1t was twelve o'clock when I left the
Golden House and strolled quietly down
to Liberty street. The larger part of the
soldiers had been drawn off, but a couple
OF companies still kept guard in the Pr
azza. The usual occupations of life were
going on amid confused stir of excite
ment, and l saw by the interest my ap-
pearance aroused that some part at least
OF my share in the nights doings had
leaked out. The Gazette had published
special edition, in which it hailed the
advent OF freedom, and, while lauding Nc
Gregor to the skies, bestowed a warm
commendation on the noble Englishman
who, with native love Of liberty, had
taken on himself the burden of kureata-
land in her hour of travail" The meta
phor struck me as inappropriate, bnt the
sentiment was most healthy; and when I
finally beheld two officers Of police sitting
on the head of a drunken man for toast
Ing the falling regime, could say to my
sell, as l turned into the bank, Order
rsigns In Warsaw"

Steamboat Race ON the Mississippi
that Cost Many Lives.

steam boat Race ON the Mlss1SSAQPI
that Cost Many Lives.
Passing the place few days ago
where this noted Cherokee Indian used
to live, we were reminded of the history
and tragic death Of the man, Joe Vann
who was the most noted Cherokee OF
his time, says the Fort Gibson Post
He used to live about three miles below
Fort Gibson, opposite the mouth OF
Bayou Manard, on the opposite side Of
the Arkansas River.
He owned 500 slaves, 300 Of whom
were men. He had thousands Of acres
Of land, many cattle and horses, some
being racing stock. He owned the first
steamboat that came up the Arkansas
River to Fort Gibson, when the United
States government had a line of boats
to this place to supply the large garri-
son then stationed here. This boat was
named the Lucy Walker, and In those
days was noted for her speed. She ran
between Fort Gibson and lower Missis-
sippi ports, even to New Orleans, carry
ing passengers and freight.
Vann was a strange Indian, unlike
any known before or since, and was
known as a dead game SPORT" OPEN
hearted, brave and generous to fault.
He was good to all his slaves and they
liked him and would obey him In any.
thing. He won and lost large sums on
horse-racing and gambling, but 1t was
all the same to him, for he kept up his
end Of the sport at all times and sea-
sons This was along the 3O's and 4O's,
not long after the Cherokees took pos
session Of the country.
Vann had one fault, which ultimate
ly caused his tragic death. He could
not brook boasting rival and would
not take "dare" While his steam.
boat had no rival for speed on the Ar
kansas River, from its mouth at the
Mississippi to Little Rock and Fort
Gibson, there were two or three on the
Mississippi River, between st. Louis
and New Orleans. One Of these boats,
said to be the fastest on the river, at
tempted to pass him on the way down.
Vann had a crew Of thirty negro :,
said to have no superiors on the ri,rs.
He told the boys that the Lucy Wa. er
must be kept ahead, no matter at what
cost. An allowance of grog was given
to each, and all promised to stand up
to the work. The rival boat was gain
ing on them. The usual fuel failed to
give sufficient speed. Vann went around
and told the hands to gather up every
thing that would burn. Tar and bacon
were thrown into the furnace and soon
the Lucy Walker was forging ahead Of
her rival.
Timbers Of the boat creaked and
groaned. The furnace was red hot.
The boilers were seething and foam
ing. The heat was terrific. The pas
sengers, of whom there were about $50,
became alarmed, but Vann was cool as
cucumber. He told his negro crew
that they would beat the rival boat or
all go to hades together, and they prom
ised to stand by him.
About that time there was an awful
explosion and there was nothing left
Of the Lucy Walker but scattered frag-
ments. Most of the crew were blown
to atoms, besides about forty passen-
gers dead and nearly all more or less
injured. Vann's body was found hor-
ribly mangled.

l wandered by the brookside,
wandered by the mill,
l could not hear the brook flow,
The noisy wheel was still;
There was no burr of grasshopper.
No chirp of any bird,
But the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound l heard.
l sat beside the elm tree,
1 watched the long, long shade.
And as it grew still longer,
l did not feel afraid;
For listened for football, :.
1 listened for word,
But the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound I heard.
He came not-no, he came not
The night came on alone
The little stars sat one by one,
Each on his golden throne;
The evening air passed by my cheek,
The leaves above were stirr'd.
But the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound l heard.
Fast silent tears were flowing,
When something stood behind -
A hand was on my shoulder,
l knew it's touch was kind:
It drew me nearer-nearer-
We did not speak one word,
For the beating of our own hearts
Was all the sound we heard

The Corn song.

The Corn Song.
Heap high the farmers wintry hoard
Heap high the golden corn!
No richer gift has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn!
Let other lands, exulting, CLEAN
The apple from the pine,
The orange from it's glossy green,
The cluster from the vine.
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged wales bestow.
To cheer us when the storm shall drift
Our harvest fields with snow.
Through Wales of grass and meads Of How
Our plows their burrows made,
While on the hills the sun and showers
OF changeful April played.
We dropped the seed DER hill and plain
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crows away.
All through the long, bright days OF June
Its leaves grew green and fair,
And waved in hot midsummer's noon
It's soft and yellow hair.
And now with autumn's moonlit ewes
Its harvest time has come,
We pluck away the frosted leaves
And bear the treasure home.
There, when the SHOWS about US drift,
And winter winds are cold,
Fair hands the broken grain shall slit,
And knead its meal of gold.
Let earth withhold her goodly root,
Let mildew blight the rye,
Give to the worm the orchards fruit,
The wheat field to the fly.
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let us, for his golden corn,
Send up our thanks to God.

A BIG SENSATION
HAS BEEN CREATED
IN PROVINCE OF LUXEMBOURG BY
ANNOUNCEMENT APPEARING IN
DAILY PAPER OF ARLoN.

Special to the Herald.
Brussels, Aug. San enormous sen
sation has been created in the prov
ince of Luxembourg by an announce
ment appearing in a daily paper Of
Arlon, to the following effect:
A well known wealthy Belgian count,
who died some time ago, left a widow
and two sons. One of the latter soon
followed his father TO the grave, and
in her grief the widowed countess, a
devout lady, expressed the intention
of sending eleven earnest young men
on a pious pilgrimage to the Holy
Sepulchre in Jerusalem, there TO pray
for the repose of the souls of her be-
loved husband and son. Each pilgrim
was to receive a complete outfit, $500
for travelling expenses, it being ex-
pressly stipulated that the whole Of
the journey should be made on foot
and in addition the sum of $4,000 on
his return. Six eligible young men had
already been accepted, and a deputy
of the district had been requested by
the countess to- select the other five.
On the day the announcement ap-
peared, several score of able bodied
candidates made clamorous applica-
ton to be chosen for the delightful
free trip to the Holy Land, but great
was their disappointment when they
learned that the whole story was a
pure canard. As a matter Of fact. the
