He had a young mule which his boys were unable to ride, and their failure to break the animal so exasperated the old mau that he determined to ride it himself. He was, however, no sooner located on its back than he was.thrown into an adjoining lot, where he was picked up with both legs broken and his neck badly sprained. "What on earth did such an old ? t A - _ man as you mean oy trying 10 nue a wild young mule like that?" asked the doctor. "Waal, suh," said Deacon Jackson, "I never does uudertuke to do uuthin' widout fust consultin' ov de Lawd an' seein' wbut He dun thuuk erbout hit. I axed Him ef I orter ride dat mule what my trifflin' no ercount boys couldn't ride, an' de Lawd, He sed, yessah, jes' ez plain ez I am talkin' to you." "Well, but He seems to have given you bad advice." "No, doctor, His judgment was all right, fer de Lawd knows dis old nigger never seed de day when he was afeerd to straddle anything from a circular saw up to er elephant, but dis time I think de Lawd was jes' mistooken in de mule." The Probable Result.?Clerk John E. McGaughey, of the criminal court, is the proud father of several bright, intelligent boys, one of whom, a 12-year-old fellow by the name of Harry, is an inveterate wag, says the Indianapolis Sentinel. One evening recently after John had reached his comfortable home in Irvington, donned his smoking jacket and slippers and had seated himself before a cheerful grate fire in his library, waiting for dinner, Harry entered the room, and, seating himself at a table, began apparently to work out an arithmetical problem. Finally he casually looked up and said: "Papa, suppose you were to give mamma $40 in gold and $20 in silver right now, what would she have ?" Mr. McGaughey takes a lively in- < terest in bis boys' progress at school, and, whenever possible, has made it j his duty to assist them. He turned about in bis chair and replied to Harry's question: I "Why, she would have $60, of i course." 1 "No, she wouldn't," answered the boy. "She'd have a fit." I Then John turned his gaze thought- i fully upon the fire and Harry gather- ) ed up his books and left the room. !

IA Washington mother, who had i forbidden her children to mention the name of the evil one, was not able to attend church a few Sundays ago, and 1 when her little boy, eight years old, came home after service, asked him the subject of the sermon. He answered promptly, "It was about Jesus i being taken up into the mountains by the?by the?by the gentleman who keeps hell."

When the father returned, he found the horse lying on the ground. Thereupon he immediately exclaimed to his son, "Look here ! you've been leaning on hitn again, have yer?" Katie Wondered.?Katie was being told the story of General Washington's life. Her mamma related the chief incidents of his remarkable ca reer and Katie was duly impressed. When the story was finished, she observed, with much wonderment: "And he could do all those hard things, and couldn't do such an easy thing as tell a lie."

"Why," said Uncle Jack, chewing the last bit of his toothpick into a wad of fibres, preparatory to shootiog it into the fire. This was always the signal to the boys that he was ready to begin to shoot buffaloes and Indians. Uncle Jack was a grizzled veteran officer of the regular army, and had seen much hard fighting ou the frontier. "Whv. ves." said he, "I do know something about what Indians are good for as fighters; and for down right human courage, without any of the sneaking, strike-you-in-the-back work in it, I think the Cheyennes stand ahead of them all." "But what Cheyennes ? Where did it happen ?" clamored the boys, who knew well enough that there was some special instance back of the general statement of Cheyenue bravery. "How did you little rascals know what I was thinking of?" he growled. "Well, in 1878 my command was stationed at the Wild Rose Agency. Things had been moving smoothly for a long time, but the Indians were getting fat and saucy on government rations, and that state of things couldn't last. Every brave had a good breechloader and a pony or more. Even the boys?wiry, saucy little rats?had their own guns and ponies, and the way they did run was a caution. "There were two little chaps in particular who used to loaf round the post, who had the most impudent black eyes, and the most stoical faces when they thought you were watching them. They were handsome little rascals, if they were dirty and lazy, and often they used to run races across the parade ground to amuse the officers for a stake of army cartridges. They were the most fearless, nimble little monkeys! "Half the time you couldn't tell which part was horse or which part was rider. The way they stuck to these little ponies in every position imaginable, now on this side and now on that! They were along the neck, under the belly, heads almost dragging the ground ! They dropped their bats and picked them up again at a breakneck gallop. They fired their rifles with one band until it made you think of Fourth of July in Bangor. They were sons of Lone Wing, a chief. "I got to watching for the little imps to come and show off their tricks, and missed them when they didn't put in an appearance ; for a fellow becomes 30 lonely out there that be hankers after any kind of a face he's used to, even if it is a dirty red face. "You know I haven't much use for a live Indian. Somehow, living out an the frontier, one picks up a prejudice against them. Many of the young Indians who hang about the agencies, doing nothing, become thieves and vag 1 abonds; but I could'nt help admiring < these two boys. "They stood by one another like Damon and Pythias. One day some of the men coaxed one of them into the i barracks and got him stupid drunk, rhat's an example of the way Indians ire sometime 'improved' at the agencies. "Well, the other boy wouldn't budge in inch away until he took his comrade with him. He hung round him until after dark, and then managed to creep in while the men were at mess, and actually lugged the sleeping fellow out, whistled up the ponies, loaded him on like a log of wood, strapped 1 him on with a lariat and galloped off. "They had the blood of the old sachems in them, and I do believe would have died for each other. I got to like them as much as I possibly i could like an Indian, and that would be about as hard for me as to like a rattles tiake. "Maybe you have heard that the government is not the best provider in the world, and the Indian department is a great deal more uncertain than the paymaster or commissary of the army. Well, one time the beef cattle were stampeded and run off by rascally Sioux, and the other rations were about a month behind time, and things got to looking pretty blue over at the agency. "We let them have all the army goods we could spare, and Agent Piersou sent his scouts here and there to pick up what beef they could lawfully ; but before they could get a supply the redskins began to grow lean. "Some of the squaws and papooses that staggered over to the agency would hardly have made a shadow, and it is no wonder thut petty depredations were committed. "First the agent's poultry went. Then some one got into the storehouse and carried off a lot of eastern canued goods the agent had for his own table. He declared that he would make the oruiltv one smart if he found him. 0 / That night, to cap the climax, a floor board was loosened from underneath, and a piece of meat the cook had ready for breakfast was taken from the agent's kitchen. "The guard saw the thieves and fired on them, and by the flash of his gun recognized them as Panther Tail and Four Toes, the two Indian boys. 1 forgbt to tell you about their names. Panther Tail was the 'totem' or manitou name of the older boy, and the younger one was called Four Toes by the whites because, in some boyish adventure, he had lost the little toe from his right foot. "When the guard came to make an examination, there was the four-toed track of one of the bare-footed thieves. Afterward we heard that the boys' mother was sick from fasting. "The agent gave prompt orders to have the offenders brought in for punishment, but the Indiau police came back with the word that they were not to be found in the 'tepie' of Lone Wing. The whole village was sullen over not getting rations, and not only refused to give information, hut threatened vengeance if the boys were arrested. "It was time to show a hold front. There were enough hungry warriors waiting for rations to destroy us all if they should go on the warpath, and every one was armed. "Agent Pierson saw trouble ahead. He mustered all the force of Indian police and scouts he had, and called for a detail of cavalry from the post. I was ordered to take my company, and the entire force, numbering 100, was put under my command subject to me u^cut s uiucioi "When we rode into the village there was not a soul in sight. We made first for Lone Wing's tepee. The old chief stalked to the entrance when the agent's messenger spoke to him. He said that his people were still friendly, but refused to tell where the boys were. " 'Then we will search every tepee,' said the agent. "I saw from the chiefs looks and the frowns on the glowering faces showing now in the doors of the adjacent tepees, that there would be trouble if we tried to do that. Finally the chief said if we would give him an hour, he would tell where the boys were. I advised the agent to accept this. 'They cannot get away on their half-starved ponies in an hour,' I said; so it was decided to wait. "When we went back, Lone Wing was ready to receive us. "'Where are the young thieves?' demanded the agent. " 'The great father drives his children from their hunting grounds to starve them, and then calls them thieves for not being willing to die like rabbits. The young braves are not here. The white chiefs will find them in the hills waiting for them.' "They have left the reservation J" exclaimed the agent, his blood hot; 'put spurs, captain, and overtake them ! Better send some of the trailers ahead to find which way they have sneaked off.' "I had a pretty good idea where we would find the hoys, and I said, 'I don't think trailers will be needed in this case. They are not far off' "'Why,' said he; 'where do you think they have gone?" "I poiuted toward the hills where two faint specks showed, and handed him my glass. He looked and put spurs to his horse. " 'No need to hurry,' I said ; 'they are not running away.' "And I was right. When we got near enough to make them out clearly, there stood the two little fellows in war paint and feathers, their pouies by their sides, and their rifles in their hands. " 'What do the rascals mean ?' said the agent. "But I understood it well enough. "Their Indian blood wouldu't let them suffer imprisonment or possibly a whipping, and rather than thus be degraded in their own eyes and those of the warriors of their tribe, they had resolved to court a warrior's death alone, outside the reservation, and thus shield the rest of the tribe from sharing in the punishment. 'When we were within 300 yards of them they mounted their ponies and brandished their rifles, and I could hear their shrill, boyish voices in defiant tones shouting the war-whoop of their tribe. Before any of us could get our breath, they leaped to their ponies' back, and charged down toward us at a furious gallop. "I think it was a moment or two before any of us took in the audacity of the thing?two Indian boys charging right into the ranks of 100 armed whites?but when they got within rifle t-unnra ftiAU nnpnpd niir eves bv IvillC ? ^ ~ . w flat on their ponies and shooting straight at us. " 'Give the young imps a volley, captain !' excitedly directed the agent. "I hated to do it, but there they came riding us down, and shouting like all possessed. "Aim high ; fire !" I commanded the men, for I couldn't bear to slaughter the brave little chiefs. On they rode unhurt, of course, right into our teeth! " 'Open ranks!" "They shot like wildfire through us, and were out of reach before we could halt and reform. "I supposed all we would have to do now would be to chase the little rascals back into the camp, and deliver them over as prisoners of war. But, bless my stars, if they didn't wheel, as soon as they could, bringing their ponies to a dead stop, and with another whoop of defiance come charging back up the hill at us. "It was the most desperate exhibition of courage I had ever*witnessed in a human being, red or white?a cool and grim determination to keep up the fight until they died fighting. "Pop! Oue of our horses was hit. "Pop! A cavalryman dropped his Winchester, hit in the arm. I dared not spare them longer. "Fire!" "The smoke of our second volley cleared away to show us two prostrate forms, and a pony kicking its last on the earth. I shut my eyes. I did not want to see what I knew I must see. " 'Leave them to the coyotes!' growled the agent. 'No, drag their bodies back to the old wolf's den. I'll teach them a lesson !' "'Not by my command, Mr. Agent,' I said. 'I never faced any braver enemies. They shall be buried with the honors of war.' " "Oh, I'm so glad you were in command, Uncle Jack," little Ted cried, his lips quivering with sympathy. "Where did you bury them then, Uncle Jack ? Not where they were shot. "Bless your life, youngster ; I didn't bury them at all. The agent and his Indian police had gone back by the time the sergeant with his squad got the graves dug ; and when they went to pick them up from beside their dead ponies, I'll be court-martialed if they didn't find two of the most lively corpses that ever played possum. The meu had fired low. "Before long they disappeared from that agency. Their education hud not been of the sort to make them peaceable and iudustrious. Very likely they have been fighting Uncle Sam since. But I couldn't hurt a hair of them.? J. F. Cowan, in Youths' Companion. iUisccUancous grading.
