Once he took the fancy to be an absolute vegetarian, and while possessed of this idea he was traveling on a western river steamboat, and happened to be placed at a table opposite a solemn Quaker, who had been attracted by the eloquent conversation of the great actor. The benevolent old Quaker, observing the lack of viands on Booth's plate, kindly said : "Friend, shall I not help thee to the breast of this chicken ?" "No, I thank you, friend," replied the actor. "Then shall I not cut thee a slice of ham ?" "No, friend, not any." "TheD thee must take a piece of the mutton ; thy plate is empty," persisted good old broadbrim. "Friend, said Booth, in those deep stentorian tones, whose volume and power had so often electrified crowded audiences, "friend, I never eat any flesh but human flesh, aDd I prefer that raw." The old Quaker was speechless, and his seat was changed to another table at the next meal. An Army Story.?The following true bit from the anecdotal knapsack of a member of the 16th Maine is related by the Brookline Chronicle : "In our company in the 16th Maine," said a Lewistown man, "was a boy about nineteen, who had run away to join the army. His father bad always been cruelly strict with him, and used to whip or pound him with a club every time the old man got mad. The boy had joined the regiment, and was preparing to light out when the old man showed up to stop him. He was going to carry him flome by main force, and thrashed him right there in camp before starting. 'Father,' the boy said, 'I'm going to tbe front, and if you carry me home I'll run away, and then you'll never see me again.' And so the old man let mm go. "We were out on the skirmish line within a month, and the bullets were coming zip, zip, z-i-p. That boy stood sidewise, loading his Springfield, when along came a bullet and took off both his eyebrows, clean. He turned around then madder than thunder, and said, the blood spurting out of his forehead, 'By gosh! George, this here begins to seem like home and father!'" t&T A kindergarten teacher was recently reviewing her little class on the instruction given the day previous. The following are a part of the questions and answers : "Now, children, I told you yesterday about the various materials from which your dresses are made?silk, woolen and cotton. Let me see how well you remember. Margie, where did the material come from of which your dress is made?" "It once grew upon the back of a sheep." "Very good; and yours, Blanch ?" *"My dress once grew upon the back of a sheep, and part of it was spun by the silkworm." "Correct! And yours, Lucy?" Lucy (with evident embarrassment)?"My dress was made out of an old one of mamma's." tGT A careless mason dropped a brick from the second story of a building on which he was at work. Leaning over the wall and glancing downward, he discovered a respectable citizen, with his silk hat jammed over his eyes and ears, rising from a recumbent posture. ? - * The mason in tones 01 uppieucuaiuu inquired, "Did that brrck hit anyone down there?" The citizen, with great difficulty extricating himself from the extinguisher into which his hat had been converted, replied, with considerable wrath, "Yes, sir, it did. It hit me." "That's right," exclaimed the mason, in tones of undisguised admiration ; "noble man, I would rather have wasted a thousand bricks than have you tell me a lie about it." WSP On oue occasion, when a wellknown wit was listening to the band on the pier at Brighton, England, some medical students who happened to be there thought they would have a joke with him, and accordingly one of their number went up with outstretched hand and said, "Ah, good morning, Mr. ! How do you do?" "I am quite well, thank you," he replied, "but I really have not the honor of your acquaintance." "What," said the student, "you don't know me! Why, I met you at the zoo." "Young man, accept my apologies; but, really, I saw so many monkeys there that it is impossible for me to recognize them all again." Color Blindness.?Two ex-conductors of the Missouri met in the rotunda of the Grand Pacific yesterday afternoon and began to discuss the reasons for their discharge. "I was fi-ed," said one, "because I was color blind." "I didn't know." said the other, "that conductors were obliged to undergo the same test in regard to colors as the engineers." "They don't; but my color blindness went so far that I couldn't tell the difference between the color of the company's money and my own."?

"Tippence," said the Highlander. "No, no," said the shaver, "I'll give you a penny, and if that does not satisfy you, take your broom again." The Highlander took it, and asked what he had to pay.

"I will kill you, Horace Bates I" Two men stood in front of a forest shanty, facing each other with scowling brows and flaming eyes. They were Oscar Fortine and Horace Bates, the former booking clerk for the big lumber firm of Wolverton & Sayers. Bates was the foreman of the shanties, and ranked Fortine, although the latter wbs by far the more 1 intelligent man of the two. The two men had quarreled, ostensibly over the discharge of a friend of ^ w the bookkeeper's, but really, as everybody in camp knew, over a pretty widow, whose presence had graced Sayers's camp during tbe last week. Fortine's face was bleeding. He bad been knocked down by tbe foreman, and, realizing that be was no physical match for the burly Bates, be bad swallowed bis anger for tbe time, giving expression, however, to his feelings in tbe words opening this narrative. Six days later tbe slender bookkeeper was avenged. Tbe body of Horace Bates was found in tbe edge of tbe woods with a bullet in bis brain. Murder bad been done, and suspicion, amounting almost to conviction, was fixed upon Oscar Fortine. The bookkeeper was away at tbe time tbe crime was discovered. Hugh Warden, a friend of Bates, took charge of the camp and ordered everything necessary to be done. Warden was a tall,'dark-browed man of unsocial disposition, not at all liked by tbe logging crew. It seemed natural enough, however, for him to take charge of the camp, since he was a distant relative of the senior member of tbe firm, and a man of considerable business ability. "Where is Oscar?" questioned tbe new foreman of Grace Millen, the pretty widow heretofore mentioned. "I'm sure I do not know," she replied, with wonder-open blue eyes. "I think you do," retorted Warden, rudely. "He was last seen with you. Has be run away to escape arrest ?" Tbe black eyes of Warden searched tbe face of Mrs. Millen earnestly. That be suspected more than bis words implied was evident. Her face, grew pale, and for one brief instant she omKorroccoH "Why should he fear arrest?" she asked, faintly. "Because of the murder of Hod Bates." A sudden dash of color fluttered to the cheeks of the widow. "Was he murdered, Hugh ?" she asked, with assumed calmness. "Yes ; there can be no doubt of that. Fortine was with you late last evening. You need not deny it; I saw the little tableau by the brook, madam?' "Stop, Hugh, stop!" she interrupted, with a fierce, angry gesture. "It is useless for you to attempt to shield him, madam," Warden went on, in a low, tense voice. "I have not been blind; I have seen it all, and I tell you he shall hang. You have been imprudent; the man i6 a villain. You must have no more to do with him? his doom is sealed. Tell me where this lover of yours is, Grace Millen." He seized her plump arm and held it so closely that she screamed with the pain. Her blue eyes took a fierce defiance into their depths on the instant, however, and she jerked free from his clutch with a low, angry cry. "I will tell you nothing, sir, nothing. Oscar is not guilty of this crime. I warn you not to appear against him. I shall bate you If you do." But Hugh Warden was not to be moved by a woman's threats or a woman's tears on an occasion like the present. He quitted her presence, and set about looking up evidence against the murderer. But little was found, however. Nevertheless, the new foreman felt justified in procuring the arrest of Fortine. He went to the nearest town, swore out a warrant, and put it into the hands of an jificer. This was a week after the death and hunai 01 the late shanty foreman. Fortine was found at a dance, in company with Grace Milieu. When placed under arrest he laughed, as if amused. "You will fiud this a serious affair, Oscar," said Warden, grimly. "But was the foreman actually murdered ? I thought he shot himself," said Fortine. "I rather guess this spite work of yours will fall on your own head in the end, Hugh Warden." The look that Fortine's fair friend gave the foreman rather stirred him. There was something vindictive in it, even though her red lips laughed in uuison with her lover. "You are playing a desperate game, Warden," whispered she in the foreman's ear. "Why do you hate Oscar so? You shall live to regret it." i II At the examination of Oscar Fortine for the .murder of his foreman several witnesses testified to the quarrel between the accused and Horace Bates. It was wellkuowu among the men that the accused was insanely jealous of the murdered man, his attentions toward the Widow Milieu being the cause. Since the murder the widow and accused seemed to be on the best of terms. Mrs. Millen was too ill to appear at the examination. Fortine was held to the higher court, and, uuable to procure bail, went to prisou. s "So you succeeded in your plot, , Hugh Warden!" cried the widow, at : their first meeting after the arrest of i Fortine. "Had I been able to get to , the magistrate's office this would not have happened. You have acted a mean part, but it shall not avail you ; remember that." Warden smiled grimly, and stroked bis tawny mustache. I was a young lawyer at the time, and bad been retained to defend the prisoner by the Widow Millen. A more fascinating creature I never beheld, and I was not surprised that so many of the sterner sex fell victims to ber smiles. Hugh Warden told me frankly that Mrs. Millen bad turned the heads of half the men in the couBtry, and that bis was one of them. Fortine seemed to be the favored one, however, and he (Warden) was in the dumps over it. My first interview with the pretty widow impressed me with the frivolity of her nature. She was keen and cutting in her remarks about Hugh Warden, and assured me that the arrest of Fortine was planned for the purpose of ridding him (Warden) of a dangerous rival. "But, madam," said I, "somebody murdered Bates." ? "Yes, I agree with you there," admitted she. "I have not been idle while Hugh Warden has been at work to ruin Oscar. I have found the weapon from which the bullet was fired, and it is not Oscar's pistol." "Go on," said I, as she came to a full stop. "What about the pistol? I did not know that it had been found." "Yes, it has been found. I am to be a witness at the trial, and the weapon shall be produced, never fear." When the trial came off Mrs. Millen was a witness, and a most important one, as she had intimated she would be. By tbis time I had discovered that Graoe Millen was infatuated with Fortine, and that she bated bis accuser, Hugh Warden. The evidence against the prisoner was purely circumstantial, yet it was very strong, and might have prevailed had not Mrs. Millen torn it to shreds on the stand at the last. The widow's testimony was of a truly astounding nature. She bad been a veritable sleuth in bunting up evidence to save ber lover, evidence tbat could not fail of its effect. She produced the revolver from which the fatal shot bad been fired. One chamber alone was empty, and i the bullet taken from the brain of the murdered man was shown to be of similar calibre to tbat of the weapon. This in itself would not have proved much, but when the witness followed this with testimony to show that the pistol was the property, not of the man < on trial, but of his jealous rival, Hugh Warden, there was a sensation. More than this, she stated that on the evening in question Horace Bates called on ber; that while she was entertaining him Warden looked in and went away muttering. When Bates quitted her presence she heard high words without, and looking outside saw that the two men were quarreling. She became frightened, and decided to go to the house of a neighbor, half a mile distant, to spend the night. 1 She had entered the woods on a wellbeaten path when the sound of voices fell on her ear. She would have fled back to the house had not her name been mentioned by one of the speakers. She went cautiously forward. The moon was shining brightly, and she saw two men standing beneath a tree. She recognized them easily as the foreman and Hugh Warden. They were quarreling and bandying her name. Suddenly Bates sprang at the throat of the other, and was shot through the head for bis pains. She ?- * " ?J *1 ~u.. a~A saw Warden nre, auu tueu buo ucu back to her room once more. She was too terrified to speak of her night's adventure for a long time. Recently she bad kept the secret, intending to speak at the trial as she was now doing. As I have said, the widow's evidence was astounding. I watched the face of Warden, and saw it blanch to a deathly hue. He rose to his feet and walked to the side of the speaker, saying as he reached her: "My God, Grace, why have you done this ?" ' She did not reply or look at his startled face. Her evidence fell like a 1 bombshell. .The accused was set free, ( and Hugh Warden was soon behind ' prison walls to answer for the crime of 1 murder. It is not necessary to dwell " on the case. Warden was convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. ' III 1 j Peoplo in general seemed satisfied i with the outcome. Warden was not a 1 congenial man ; he had few friends, < and was morose and vindictive by na- ! ture. Not many doubted. When 1 Hugh Warden was taken away not a ' person accompanied him to the traiu ; ? not one soul among his late compan- 1 ions was there to bid him farewell. ( Oscar Fortine made friends every- 1 where, and it was a relief to the pub- 1 lie in general to know that he was an ( innocent man. He remained at the 1 camp until the following spring, when 1 he and the pretty widow were mar- ' ried and quitted the woods for a near- I by city, where the bookkeeper had 1 secured a better position. 1 I was living iu the city at this time, ] and Fortine and his wife became my ' friends. The former gave me great ' si a f -' - - ?- ? ?- a 4w!nl Kll t I credit lur clearing iulu av mc umi, *si?v I never felt that any great credit was ' ray due, nor was I quite satisfied with the termination of the case. I did not believe for a siugle moment in the i guilt of Fortine. He was in every < way an honorable man. But was I Hugh Warden really guilty? i I did not doubt that but Mrs. Milien i testified to what she believed to be i true, but there was a chance for her to 1 be mistaken in the man she had seen 1 fire the fatal shot. I hfcd talked with her afterward on the subject, and she seemed just as positive that she had made no mistake as she was when 011 the witness stand. Of course this ended it, and I went about my business, and tried to forget the tragedy of the pine woods. A year went by, and then I received a startling summons. "Come at once to the house?my wife is dying! The note was from Oscar Fortine, and was delivered by a panting lad, who bad darted away after delivering his message. Grace dying! impossible ! Only that morning I bad met ber trippiug along, merry and hearty as a child. Here it was only two o'clock, and she was dying! I could not believe it, Nevertheless, I hurried tn ohev the summons. "" tf Entering the home of the Foriines, I was at once conducted to the beside of the mistress. Her face was ashen in color, and t here was a look of such horror in her eyes as I shall never forget. She made several attempts to speak before the words came. I sat down quickly, and took her hand. Her husband stood near, evidently stunned and oblivious of everything. "I?I am dying," gasped the beautiful woman, struggling with an inward spasm. "He is?is my murderer!" She was looking straight at Fortine. What did it mean ? I did not understand then. "It was all a terrible mistake," said be, hoarsely. "I forgot t( e bottle of poison, and left it on the stt^ i. She took some by mistake." "Liar!" she hissed, her face livid. "He has tired of me. And it was for such a man as this I sacrificed Hugh ! Hugh was my husband?but we bad been divorced a year when be interfered between Fortine and me. I fired at Hugh, but hit the other?Bates t I am guilty; Hugh is innocent. I Bent him to prison for the love I bore this other man, and now he has murdered me." The doctor came, but be wpj too late. Grace Fortine was dead. Her confession was a surprising one. Her last husband believed it to be true. Her drinking the poison was all a sad mistake, and Fortine was overwhelmed with grief. After the funeral he told me that be did not know Grace Millen to be the Hivomfid wife of Hucrh Warden until after their marriage. "She was a strange woman, yet I loved her better than my life. It is our duty to tell of her confession, and set an innocent man free." I agreed with him, of course. Two months after Hugh Warden had come out of prison he talked long and earnestly with me. He knew that bis divorced wife had fired the shot that killed the foreman, but refused to testify in his own behalf, partly because of a lingering affection he still had for Grace Millen, and partly because he believed his word would have no weight as against that of a beautiful woman. HOW COLDS ARE TAKEN. The London Lancet says : "A person in good health, with fair play, easily resists cold. But when the health flags a little, and liberties are taken with the stomach or nervous system, a chill is easily taken, and according to the weak spot of the individual assumes the form of a cpld or pneumonia, or it may be jaundice. Of all causes of cold probably fatigue is one of the most efficient. A jaded man coming home at night from a long day's work, a growing youth loses two hoursj sleep over evening parties two or three times a week, or a young lady heavily 'doing the season,' young children over-fed and with short allowance of sleep, are common instances of victims of cold." These are very true sayings and show precisely how many persons usually contract colds. Every cause mentioned is one that can be avoided with the exercise of a little common sense and care. Of course there are a number of causes of cold tbat cannot always be foreseen or avoided, but most people are themselves responsible for the colds they contract. "Luxury is favorable to chill taking; very hot rooms, feather beds and soft chairs ? oonoUlironoao that" lauH f.rt OR L/1 taic a ocuauiTvuvoo vumv ?Vmv. ?v ? tarrh." It is not always the cold that is so much to bo feared as it is the condition of body that gives the attack an opportunity of doing harm. Some of the most susceptible persons I have ever seen are those who seldom leave their houses; while on the other hand those who rarely have a cold are the ones who take a cold sponge bath every morning, who secure an abundance of good refreshing sleep, who are regular in their habits, who do not overload their stomachs, who do not sit in draughts unprotected and who preserve the tone of their nervous and circulatory systems. In the latter part of the day, when one has worked hard ind when the nervous and physical forces are at a low ebb, he should not expose himself to cold draughts of air, should not eat too heartily, and should oot sit or sleep in overheated rooms. One of the principal objections to partaking of the chief meal of the day in the evening is because the nervous system is generally heavily drawn upon by the duties of the day, and the powers of digestion are necessarily weakened. A hearty meal should never be partaken of when one is exhausted, because it will not only induce derangements of digestion, but is certain to open the way to the contraction of i cold. Make Your Will.?A man possessed of one dollar or a few hundred dollars has as much right to arrange Tor the distribution of his possessions as the man who has millions. It is also as incumbent upon the man of small means to properly dispose of his holdings as it is upon the one who has more. The lawyers of this country would lose many fat fees if those who have accumulated a portion of this world's goods, be it ever so small, would leave specific directions as to what disposition should be made of their property after death. Making a will is generally regarded as a very solemn affair. Surrounded by all the gloom and sorrow of the death bed, [ where these important documents are generally made, the framing of a last will and testament is a very serious and unpleasant task. If there is one thing above another that a person should take time to do well, and to use bis best judgment in doing, it is making bis will. A clear brain and an unprejudiced frame of mind are necessary for so important a work. These conditions can only be found when the body is in the best of health. The importance of not postponing this matter until the last moment is very apparent. I?" Of the 451 colleges and universities in this country, only 41 are closed to womeo. But, to make yp for this lack, there are 143 schools of higher learning open to women only, and having 30,000 students. The University Courier says: "Will it not soon be time to raise the question why men should be sbut out from the advantages of these 143 schools of higher education which now are open to women only. Forty-one institutions are closed to women, and 143 are closed to men. Why ?" Education In the South.?The Rev. Dr. Mayo has declared that "the 16 southern states are today paying as much for( the public schools as the British parliament votes every year for the public school system of the British islands?between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000." And he adds that since the war the south has expended "$260,000,000 of its own money for education?$75,000,000 of it for the children of the colored people."?New York Tribune. j pffiC &AkiN0 POWDER Absolutely Pure When You Want Nice Clean Job Printing You should always go to The Enquirer office where such printing is done.
