Jluworous Jlqiartmcut. A Dental Demonstrator. "Mammy" had been suffering tortures with the toothache, but she was afraid of New York dentista Down in Virginia the colored folk believe that doctors can roam about after dark, trying to catch people to cut up. A negro child can be scared into good behavior by the mere whisper of "night doctor." Mammy could not be persuaded that dentists were not "night doctors," but at last the pain got so bad that she consented to have the tooth out Her mistress tells in the New York Press of the old negro's experience with a "painless dentist." "Did it hurt?" I asked, when she came home. "Lan\ no, chile," she said. "I suttinly am glad I went to him. He take an' hooked them tongs onto my tooth an* he says, 'Good thing you didn't go to Doctor Jones downstairs. This is the way he pulls teeth!' "Then he give a powerful yank, and 1 let OUX a screecn.

Discount Lawsuits.?Sleeper, the Santa Fe stage driver, answers questions freely and gives the passengers a good deal of information that is not called for by their tickets. A nervous old lady was riding down a dangerous looking trail with Mm once, when she noticed a hatchet lying in the bottom of the stage and inquired why he carried It "I use that hatchet to knock injured passengers in the head," replied Mr. Sleeper. The old lady gasped with astonishment and drew away from him to the other end of the seat. Sleeper leaned over toward her. and in a confidential whisper explained: "We have a good many accidents on this here line. The stage's alius tippin' over and rollln' down precipices, and every time a passenger gits hurt he sues the company for damages. These here damage suits uses up all the profits of stagin' and we've had to stop 'em, so every driver carries a hatchet. When a passenger gits hurt we simply knock 'em on the head and throw the body over a precipice and there ain't no lawsuits."?Chicago Herald. Getting Facts.?The census taker rapped at the door of the little farm house and opened his long book. A plump girl of about 18 came to the door and blinked at him stupidly. 'How many people live here?" he began. "Nobody lives here. We are only staying through the hot season." "But how many are here?" "I'm here. Father's In the woodshed and Bill Is?" "See here, my girl, I want to know how many inmates are in this house. How many people slept here last night?" "Nobody slept here, sir. I had the toothache dreadful, and my little brother had the stomach ache, and the new hand that's helping us got sunburned so on his back that he has blisters the size of eggs, and we all took on so that nobody slept a wink all night long."?Detroit News. Obeyed the Specialist's Orders.? A celebrated Continental specialist, to whom time was literally money, and who was possessed of a flery temper, made it a rule that all pattents should undress before entering his consulting Kin room so as not to was'.c au^ ui uu valuable time. One day a meek looking little man entered with all his clothes on. "What do you mean by coming in like that?" asked the doctor, In a rage. "Go and strip at once." "But I " faltered the man. "I tell you I've no time to waste," yelled the doctor, and the poor man left the room in haste. When his turn came he re-entered the room. "Now, then," said the doctor, "that's better. What can I do for you?" "I called to collect your subscription for the benevolent society."?The Tatler. The Supreme Test of Nerve.?Little Tommy had come home from school with a raging earache. His mother, while striving to finish up urgent household duties before she could take him to the doctor's office, endeavored to buoy up his nerve. "Be brave, now. Tommy," she said, "like the big Indian. The big Indian never cries, no matter how sick he is. Why, he can let his hand be cut ofT and never a whimper from him!" Tommy looked up, a hand over each aching ear. and the big, hot tears rolling down his face. "That's all right, Mama," he sobbed, "the big Indian may stand it; but if that big Indian has a little boy like me, and that little boy's got the earache?I guess he's crying, too!" ? - His Parting Words.?Sherlock Holmes was thinking about getting married. "At any rate, women are truthful" he said solemnly. "I had that fact impressed upon me last week. "A woman's husband had disappeared?a young millionaire?and I was called in to try to find him. "He had been missing three days when I arrived. Of course the first person I questioned was his wife. She was young and pretty. The first question I asked her was. 'What were the very last words he said to you before he disappeared?" " 'His last words were, "Oh, for heaven's sake, shut up. ?New York Press. OT "Well, Bobby, how do you like church?" asked his father, as they walked homeward from the sanctuary, to which Bobby had Just paid his first visit. "It's fine!" ejaculated the young man. "How much did you get, father?" "How much did I get? Why, what do you mean? How much what?" asked the astonished parent at this evident Irreverence.

The Insurance carried was $600 on the house and $600 on the furniture, which covers about half of the loss. Mr. Will Orrender died last Saturday morning at the home of his parents in Dallas. His serious illness was noted in these columns a few days ago. In failing health for a year, he sought the higher climate of Colorado a few weeks ago In the hope that his lungs might there find healing. These hopes were baffled by a collapse which followed his arrival at Denver, and about two weeks ago he was brought back home fatally ill. Mr. Orrender was about 35 years old, the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Orrender. A wife and one little daughter, nine months old, survive him. He leaves besides his parents, one brother, Mr. Charles Orrender, now with the W. T. Love Company, and two sisters, Mrs. J. L. Vipperman, and Miss Addie Orrender of Dallas.

Hlckson and a brief talk made by Rev. J. L. Vipperman in obedience to the dying request of his brother-in-law. A large gathering of friends and acquaintances attested their love and respect by attending the services. RICH MEN OF A MONTH. How Suddenly Acquired Fortune* Have Been Squandered. The sudden acquisition of unaccustomed wealth is responsible for many strange freaks on the part of the newly enriched. Thus, a Durham collier, after Inheriting the sum of ?20,000 from an uncle who had emigrated to Australia, purchased a male and remaie eiepnani irom a. uavcuus menagerie, had a large and gaudy carriage built, to which he harnessed them, and then drove out with his wife and children till stopped by the police. He spent his money in six months, chiefly at race meetings, and is now once more a humble collier, glad of the comparative scanty wage that he receives each week from the clerk in the pay shed. The case of a once popular French novelist is still remembered in Parisian literary circles. Reaping a harvest from two or three capital books that took all Paris by storm, the author purchased n paJace in Italy, a villa on the Riviera, a castle in Scotland and a town house on the Champs Elysees. It seemed his ambition to possess as many residences as a prince of the blood. Although all these properties were heavily mortgaged, the smash came within a year, and the novelist, loaded with debts that he would never be able to repay, calmly disappeared, and was afterward recognized as an Arab trader and lord of many caravans plying between Harrar and Jibuti!. The novelist, who had adopted a suitable Arab name, stood high in the favor of the Emperor Menelik. Consumption cut short a career that for variety and adventure far exceeded any romance that the novelist himself had ever penned. Another "freak capitalist" (was a Spanish lady of Badajoz, who, winning ?40,000 in the Manilla lottery, collected the money and set out secretly for Paris, leaving her husband and children in complete darkness as to her whereabouts. Eight months later she returned to her home penniless, but accompanied by thirty huge trunks, the contents of which accounted for the vanished thousands. On arriving in Paris she had apparently set about spending her money with a will. Clothes of every description and artificial aids to beauty had eat^n up the whole of her fortune. Dresses, costly underwear, corsets, boots, gloves and hats, all marked with the names of the most fashionable makers, represented threefourths of her purchases. In the remaining trunks were cosmetics, hair, figure improvers, face creams, chin straps, cures for obesity?in short, every kind of article advertised by "beauty specialists" and the quacks who abound in all big cities. Beyond being the best dressed woman in Badajoz for several seasons, she had reaped little benefit from her good fortune. More extravagant still was the Russian gentleman who gambled away an inheritance of 6,000,000 rubles (f600,000) within a year, and was only saved from complete disaster by the odd chance that he had papered his bed room with hundred ruble notes. He ended by giving Russian lessons for a small fee in Paris. The exploits of the late Marquis of Anglesy are paralleled and exceeded by those of the son of a wealthy Hungarian sugar refiner. The young man not only had a replica of the Roman Coliseum erected on one of his estates, but would himself descend into the arena, in imitation of the emperors of old. Dressed as a gladiator and armed only with the short Roman thrusting sword, he would engage lions, tigers and bears in single combat, often paying as much as ?1,000 for the specimen that furnished him and his friends with a half hour's entertainment. The Hungarian authorities put a stop to these savage exhibitions, and while the remainder of his wealth lasted he had to content himself with an ordinary circus. He died dramatically. when on the verge of being declared a bankrupt, taking poison at the close of a farewell feast, to which he had invited his neighbors and tenants.?Tit-Bits. STILL A WILD MAN. Old Black Horaa Scorns to Be Civilized. Black Horse, who Is in command of the Indians with the "101" Wild West show at Fairmont park, was in command of the Cheyennes and Arapahpes that massacred Pat Hennesey, In 1874, upon the spot where the town of Hennessey, O. T., now stands. According to the story told by Black Horse through an Interpreter, Summit Bear, it was planned as a course of revenge for the severe drubbing Gen. Custer gave him and the Cheyennes on the Washita, in 1872. At that time Black Horse smoked the pipe of peace with the soldiers and promised never again to take up arms against the government. He kept that promise, about two years, wnen me mtuisacie uttuucu, Black Horse said that he heard of the coming of Hennessey and his train, and thought It a good scheme to waylay and murder Its occupants. So hiding his braves In the hills near the spot of the massacre, the band of 100 redskins sneaked down toward the wagons, but were seen and fired upon. Gathering his men together. Black Horse Instructed them to surround the wagons and to shoot to kill. As they gradually drew their net around the defenders the fighting began and constantly grew fiercer and fiercer till the ammunition of the defenders gave out. Then began a terrific, but quickly ended hand to hand fight. After all had been killed they raided and plundered the wagons and bodies and after securing all the provisions and empty wagons, and In order to cover up their work, they set fire to everything. The Indians then scattered, the majority going to a rendezvous seventyfive miles away. Black Horse soon grew Impatient with the quiet life and with nearly all thev Cheyennes began moving toward the Dakotas. then into Montana and Wyoming, where he and his followers joined Sitting Bull's party near Fort Keogh, Montana. Custer, with his famous 7th cavalry, then heard of the Junction and immediately set out to burst up the band. Sitting Bull sent Black Horse back to tell Custer to desist from following them, which Custer refused to do. The complete party camped the night before the massacre near the spot where the morrow was to mark one of the bloodiest, fiercest and quickest battles ever fought In this country. By Sitting Bull's instructions a complete circle was made that night of eight camps. At dawn Custer swooped down on the first camp, and Immediately couriers Were sent to the others, informing them of Custer's presence. Then the bands scattered. soon to appear on all sides of the ill-fated soldiers, and the battle of the Little Big Horn was begun. That night after the Indians had killed all, they began scattering to their respective quarters, not to stay, for a Nemesis was soon at their heels. Black Horse soon went back to Oklahoma, where shortly after the Indian agent called all of the hostlles in, where their weapons, even knives, stock and all other possessions were taken away, and they were sent down to Florida. Shortly after arriving In Florida Oapt. Piatt, of the regular army, suggested to ccttrgress to build a school to educate the Indians Instead of keeping them In ? 1 fnrtfl Siuny prisons aim num-uui His offer was afterward accepted and passed by congress, and the result Is the Carlisle Indian college, at Carlisle, Pa., with Capt Piatt as its first supervisor. According to an Indian who was a prisoner In Florida, they were sent to the school with arms and legs bound with chains. The place where the Carlisle school was built was formerly a cavalry school for the Continental army during the Revolutionary war. Black Horse did not go to Carlisle, and still refuses to learn the English language, so he was returned to Oklahoma with many others. Black Horse Is about 79 years old, but looks not over 60, Is close to 6 feet tall and weighs about 175 pounds. He Is a typical Indian, tall and straight as an arrow. He presented a peculiar picture yesterday afternoon, as, dressed In dark blue trousers, red shirt, bareheaded and with fancy moccasins adorning his feet, be cleared the hair off a cow hide In the method of 100 years ago. Although nearly all Indians at the park are somewhat civilized, Black Horse refuses to adopt the present Ideas, but still holds to those of a century ago. In talking about the Hennessey or Custer massacres, he speaks slowly and carefully, deliberating on each word to the Interpreter, who Informs the listener. The chief Interpreter of the show is Summit Bear, a Cheyenne, who also participated In the two massacres. His English name Is William Abe Somers. He was born In Colorado In 1861. Somers says that the first Incident that he recalls was the building of the Union Pacific railroad through Colorado. According to a legend of his tribe the Cheyennes 500 years ago lived near the Pine Ridge agency, In South Dakota, and drifted north and west along the Yellowstone, then for nearly 150 years roamed through Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and finally Into Oklahoma. Somers was with the Cheyennes that were defeated by Custer on the Washita in 1872. As a remembrance of his fighting days Black Horse carries two bullets In one of his legs. The first he received at the Hennessey fight and the second at the disarming of the Indians at the Darlington agency. Summit Bear went from Florida, where he was a prisoner, to the Carlisle school, where he studied for about seven years. As a result of the education he acquired while at the school he can talk and write English better than any other Indian In the tribe. He was appointed official Interpreter of the territory tribes some years ago. While playing in St. Joseph recently the management of the show put on a reproduction of the ambuscade and burning of the Hennessey wagon train, into which the aborigines entered with great spirit. After the perfprmance was over Black Horse begged permission for the whole band to have a big powwow and a dance that night. The request was granted. The old chief talked to the younger braves about the massacre, after which they all participated in a big dance. It was nearly 4 o'clock in the morning before they desisted. One of the Indians with the show is John Bull, the son of the famous chief, Sitting Bull. ? Kansas City Journal.
