WANTED THEIR GOATS.
a Curious Adventure Among the Ma
 tives of Africa.


 Mrs. Constance Larymore, author of "A Residents Wife In Nigeria" re- counts this curious adventure in Afri- ca: "The sahlb. as from ineradicable Indian habit l still commonly call my Husband. had gone out at sunset after deer, and during his absence the entire population of the village came stream Ing up the hill to the rest house, all talking loudly and at once and evident ly under the influence of strong excite ment. l was by that time well accus- toned to creating a sensation when ever l appeared, no white woman hay ing been seen previously, but these people struck me as having more than situations in their minds and on their clamoring tongues. 1 had been six weeks in the country. My knowledge of Hausa was confined to salutauons and few simple words, so l summoned our interpreter to help me to entertain my visitors.
 "They chattered, shouted and gcstic- ulated at Paul, who eventually explain ed to me smlllngly that they had never seen a white woman before and were anxious to offer me a personal wei come. l nodded and smiled in high qualification, thanked them cordially and when I had exhausted my small stock of polite salutatiOus told the in terpreter to give them leave to go home. This they did, somewhat re- luctantIy, l thought, but after descrlb- Ing the interview with some amuse- ment to the sahib dismissed the mat. ter from my mind.
 Six weeks later we passed through Lukpa again on our way back to Loko- ja and found 1t deserted-nOt a man, woman or child, not a goat, not q fowl all gone, obviously fed Into the bush. I felt distinctly hurt at this churllsh behavior on the part of my late admir- CTS and learned long afterward that on our first visit our precious interpreter and others of our party had seized and killed every goat and fowl in the vll- lhBe. 4ue NlCtSHGu pNutlH uAu Lu9h- ed up to the rest house to complain, and all they got was Thank youn
 'I am not ashamed to confess that cried when made that discovery. The lesson, however, went home to us both and drove us to work ceaselessly at the Hausa language, knowing there could be no security for ourselves or justice for the people until We could be independent of dishonest interpreta- tion."

Backward and sideways until the noise died away and there was exposed a lighted supper table with this explana- tion on a transparency:
 "Osborn's Treat"
A stronq Maid.

A cooking expert tells this story: "Only the other night, dining with some friends of mine, saw q maid drop and break q superb platter that contained two roast canvasback ducks. Our host did not permit this accident to rutlie him. While we waited for some other course to be substituted for the last one he said: You must excuse that maid. These accidents happen al- most daily with her. I think 1t is a disease. She was, believe, q dairy maid originally, but she had to aban- don that occupation on account of her Inability to handle the cows without breaking their horns.'"

AninterestinG fact in connection with this walk was that but one pair of shoes was worn by each of them on the 2,45O mile journey, and that they never ripped or lost a stitch during the entire trip. The shoes worn in this contest were made by the F. Mayer Boot and Shoe Company, Milwaukee, who have established a great reputation through out the country as manufacturers of the highest type of quality shoes; in conse- quence of which, tho business of this house has had a phenomenal growth. Nine thousand pairs per day is the pres ent capacity of the Mayer factories.
 As matter of contrast, and to show tbat there Is marked difference in the quality Of shoes, while hay and Jackson completed their 2,45O mile trip in a single pair of shoes that were practic- ally intact at the end, J T. Sutherland, another pedestrian, who had reached Owosso. Mich, on a coast to coast wolk, had worn out thirty-one pairs of shoes on his journey up to the time of his ar- rival in Owosso.

AN INDIAN ATTACK.
One In Which Custer and a New York
 Broker Were Mixed Up.


 Charles Osborn, a New York broker, and General Custer were intimate friends, and Osborn annually visited the general at his camp on the plains During one of the Indian campaigns he invited Osborn and a party of friends to Kansas and after giving them q buffalo hunt arranged a novel experience in the way of an Indian scare. As Osborn was lying fin his tent one night firing was heard at the out posts and the rapid riding of pIcIiets. Boots and saddlesw was the order in the disturbed atmosphere of the night, and Custer appeared to Osborn loaded with rife, two revOlvers, a saber and a scalping knife.
 Charles" he said in his quick, nerT- ous way, you must defend yourself Sitting Bull and Flea In Your Boots, with Wlggle Tail Jim and Scalp Lock Skowheban, are on us in force. did not want to alarm you before, but the safety of my command is my first duty. Things look serious. If we don't meet again, God bless youw
 The broker fell on his knees. Gus ter" he cried "only get me out of this! I'll carry q million shares of Western Union for you and let you into the firm to get me home! Only save mew
 But Custer was gone, and the camp by shrewd arrangement burst into a blaze, and shots, oaths and warwhoops were intermlXed until suddenly a paint ed object loomed on Osboru's sight and something was flung into his face "a human scalp. He dropped to the ground and said the Lords Prayer
