Gpropos of Pluck,

J. Pierpont Morgan, apropos OF pluck,
told in the saloon of the Celtic an inter-
esting story about a clergyman who would
not be snubbed.
HE was an Englishman," said Mr.. Nor
gan. and his richest parish.oner, Lady
Blank, used to hector him outrageously.
He stood her stupid hectoring for some
time. Then he came out fiat-footed against
her. Thereafter, he declared she must not
interfere.
Lady Blank thereafter put nothing In
the offertory. AS the silver plate was
passed about, she would make a stately
inclination over it, and put nothing IN.
well, after this had been goings on for
a month or two, the elder In c~harge>of the
plate lost his temper one morning. and
said bitterly to the lady:
1--WE could do with less o. yer n
and more o. yer silver, ma'am.'
This audible remark made a great sue
cess and a great scandal in the church.
THE clergyman, dining at q lords house,
repeated the story, and did not spare Lady
"A roar went up and down the table, but
the lord, frowning black as a thunder
cloud, said:
".Are you aware, sir. that Lady Blank
Is a relative Of mine?'
''The clergyman smiled slightly.
mo he said, Il wasn't; but in future.
when / tell the story, I'll always be care
full to mention the relationship"

cireIed Globe With Handbag.

From the New York Herald.
r. A. Garnjost, a contractor of Yonkers,
walked off the Kaiser wilhelm III. Of the
North German Lloyd line Thursday morn
ing just from a trip around the world and
established what is sad to be a record IN
getting past the customs lines. MI. earn
jost's baggage consisted only of a small
handbag, and with it he walked straight
to the customs desk, got an inspector TO
peep into the bag, and was off to catch a
train for home within two minute after
landing.
Mr.. Garnjost believes that during his
trip he carried the smallest amount OF
gga ever taken around the world by a
traveller who was provided with all the
actual necessities. Having crossed the At
lantic many times, he came TO the conclu-
sion that the average tourist carries too
many clothes. Having in mind a tour
around the world he determined to make
a test of his theory.
Leaving Yonkers on October IA on his
way TO San Francisco, Mr.. GarnJost
packed into a little leather handbag about
one foot long, eight inche wid and ten
inches deep three shirts, three suits Of I'M
derwear, four pairs of socks, half a dozen
handkerchief, a shaving outfit and a sew
ing kit. These, with a small camera and
a light overcoat, made up his outnt-
though mention should be made of the fact
that his collars and cuffs were OF celluloid.
AT San Francisco said Mr.. Garnjost,
IT took a steamer for Honolulu, and
thence / went to Manila, where / arrived
the same day as William Jennings Bryan.
Next / went to Yokohama, thence TO To-
kio, wher / saw the reception given to
Field Marshal Oyama on his return from
the war. Next / went to HongkonS and
Canton, and thence to Ceylon and India.
| came by way of the Suez canal to Port
Said. going from there to Cairo. At Rome
had a brief audience with the pop and
then / went up into Austria and Germany,
catching the steamer at Bremen.
Il nave had the best time of my life. and
am back with just the same clothes with
which i started-although,' Mr.. Garnjost
admitted, Il have had TO do a great deal
of sewing"

set to thinking mighty fast to decide

that the surest way to a persons good

Indians were fond Of turnips; that l
had some good turnips stored away, l
got a quantity and distributed them
around. Each took one and laid it on
the floor, without uttering q word or q
grunt, which was a a sign; neither
did they offer me a pipe TO smoke, for
they were all smoking, which was an
other bad sign. Meanwhile the chill
dren played around, and their mother
went on with her work. as il she was
undisturbed. After an hour of this
suspense, Ink-pa-du-a-tah picked up his
turnip, the others following him. After
eating their turnipS he came and shook
hands with me first, and all the others
followed. They then went to their te-
PEGS, not far away, where they remain
ed all winter. We became quite friend
ly. Ink-pa-du-a-tah taught me their
language and ! taught him ours and the
white mans ways. My cabin was al
ways open to him, and he became a firm
friend of my wife and children. For
three successive falls he returned and
camped on my place, n traded with
me. He told me they went north every
spring to where the wild ducks and
geese laid their eggs, of which the IN
dams are very fond. While with me
they would hunt and trap. l loaned
them a lot of steel traps n they al
ways returned them in the spring be-

and other skins, n venison hams,

Of the sales l would buy a general stock
Of Indian goods, together with provis-

would have three or four yoke Of oxen
hitched to my load, making two trips
during the winter and one during the
summer, as the summer trade did not
amount to very much, being with only
rowing bands of Yankton Sioux.

Thus cried Pierce, stationed outside

quite dissatisfied at present. The ac-

This shot, certainly, could not hit
very wide of the mark.
He stole a swift glance at her face
for corroboration of his guess. The
other victims had each given some n
couraging sign. either a nod or smile or
a tell-tale blush. But this maiden was
aggravatingly serene.
Graphing with his oozing courage,
he made another reckless plunge.

The recurrence Of this fact to bis

a realization of his own trials along

warmth over the imaginary troubles or

sudden bewildering smile as she said
impulsively: 1T is wonderful! Do

Barker, murmuring incoherently, ac-
companied her to the door. where the
sight of Professor Franklin, Fastening
toward the tent caused him to bid the
young woman a precipitate good day.
Franklin accepted the explanations
in good natured gratitude, thanking
both young men for the friendly spirit
in the affair.
Pierce was hilarious eyer the exper-
fence, but Barker scarcely heard his
jovial remarks and jests. He was
thinking of a certain pair of eyes.
Later, as he strolled down the street
for cigars, he found himself looking
about in the hope of again encounter
ing those eyes.
The sound OF a hearty, familiar voice
~accosting him broke upon his reverie.

Barker submitted resignedly. As he
accompanied the old man UP the steps
to the house a slender figure In blue
came out from the shade OF the vine

"Ah, there is Grace now!"
Barker looked up indifferently n
then, pausing, even where he was, stood
stunned and speechless, gazing his

pa-du-a-tah was the chief of one band
and Wah-se-bo-be-do chief of the other.
In the ARRAY a brother of Ink-pa-du-a-
tab was killed and Wah-se-bo-be-do
badly wounded by stabbing. Joe final
ly succeeded in stopping the fight, and
persuaded the two bands to separate,
Ink-pa-du-a-tah to go north, and Wah-

min, a medicine man had a tepee not
far from my cabin. He was an uncle Of
Wah-se-bo-be-dO, who evidently knew
where he was. for he sent al Indian
boy down to his tepee to tell him that
he was wounded, and his band was
coming down with him. Muz-ze-min

put a straw bed and some blankets on
the floor and he lay down. All this

hands After a while he went and sat
down by Wah-se-bo-be-do, leaned over,
said a lew words, and kissed him. After
a short talk he examined with much
tenderness the wound, which vas a stab
with a knife, and a pierced one lung,
from which air and blood escaped at
each respiration. My wife brought
b~andages and Muz-ze-min dressed the
wound with some powders of his own
