I." AN OLD TIME nHOE DOWN"
A. Country Party In Canada In tlio Days
of Lone A|o.
Did you ever get a "bid" to a danco in
the country? I mean a real, home fnado,
fifth concessions, log house, quarter of a
-Century back country party. A spree, a
Jioe down, a neighborhood shaker of tho
simple, ready, rough, pioneer days. Did,
h? Then you will remember that on tho
morning of the day fixed for tho party
the board partition that ran across tho
middle of tho house was pulled down, and
the beds woro piled in one corner, and
the bunk was shoved up to tho end of tho
house beside tho stove, and tho stout
legged kitchen table was placed against
tbo wall at the other end of the room, and
a stout legged chair planted on tho tabic,
and tn that, nhoirtho -a-j

V from sido to side, and whiskod lightning
from his elbow and fingered in ecstatic
frenzy and beat time with his cowhido
boots, and tbo throb of his eager music
H touched tlio very inner keys of lifo and
stirred tho young blood and softened the
hardening muscles and loosed the settled
H joints of age uAtil tlio stovo shook and
tho dishes rattled on the shelves and tho
beat of the feet on tho dancing floor was
like the crashing of a score of mallets,

i and round and round, until tho perspirajf
tlon rolled down tho faco and tho breath
gasped for a renewal of tho leaso. Tamed

more. And they dance no moro. Tho
mighty clatter of the old Scotch reel
where old people unlimbered and shook
off tho steps of youth, and tho young
peoplo gasped to keep pace with tlio i
elders; and tho opora reel?they called
it the upper reel?which tho old folks
also invaded; and then the cutting out i

other did their finest steps, and tho girls
Ik did tho same, and you often got on the i

the teacher's head over arithmetical i

WOUNDED UNTO DEATH.
An Incident at tlio llattlo of Fair Oaks.
"HorrlWo War,"
A battle ia not always a whirl of contusion
and uproar, with moil llring at will
or at random. At Fair Oaks when wo
swept down in tlio gray of morning on
Casey's division we found two-thirds of
it unprepared for our recoptiorf. I was
a sergeant In my company, and as we
began firing I noticed a federal sergeant
of my own rank displaying tlio utmost
energy in rallying tlio men around him
to check us. Some of our men noticed
him as well and two or threo called out
that lie looked near enough liko mo to be
a brother. By his own individual efforts
he rallied enough men to check us temporarily,
but after a few minutes wo
drove them again and wero in the Federal
camps. Then our lines liroko and each man
fought for himself. I had singled out tho
sergeant and fired twice at him, and it was
a fact that ho had also singled mo out
and fired at mo alone. Wo kept advancing
slowly, and by and by, as wo
crowded them from their shelters, I got
a fair view of the sergeant. For a moment
I forgot that there was any ono
elso in all that battle. I had raised my
gun when ho wheeled and raised his, and .
wo both fired together. I went down
liko a log, having received his bullet in
tho right shoulder, and for two hours I
hugged the eartn beside a log to escapo
being hit again by tho missiles of friend
or foe.
When the fury of battlo had passed on
I was lamo and stiff, and as tho location
was strango to me, and I did not know
whether wo wero still advancing or in
retreat, I could not make my way off the
field. I could not tell front from rear,
nor was there ono chance in ten of finding
a field hospital. After pulling myBclf
up, and holding to a trco for a fow
minutes, I felt better and advanced to
tho spot whero I had last seen tho Federal
sergeant. I found him lying oh his back.
My bullet had struck him in tho sido and
ho was fatally hit. As I knelt down boBido
him ho recognized mo and said:
"You havo given rue my death
wound."

'Yes, I fired at you. Souio of tlio
men said you looked liko me, and I felt
a desiro to kill you."
"Let us bo friends," I said, as I knelt
beside him. "I can use ono hand and
arm, and perhaps I can stop the bleeding."
"It is too late!" lio whispered.
So it was. lie had lost a great* quantity
of blood, and it was still pouring out
and sinking away into tlio . black roil of
tho forest. As my hand touched his ho
grasped it and said:
"We wero enemies. Lotus bo friu^Mfl
Givo mo water."
I held my canteen to his lip^^^Hlmiig

As for tho human 6peoies, liavo if on

hath will ho givo for his life.''
In view of this, who that is unaware
of the facts would expect to so constantly
hear of men and women, and
even children, finding life unbearable
and ending all? What a surprising violation

Suicide is not entirely confined to tho
human species. Thero aro numerous
well authenticated instances of different?
animals deliberately killing themselves
when circumstances rendered lifo no
longer desirable. A recent traveler in
the tropics tells of coming at various
times upon tho skeleton of a species of
poisonous serpent within a circle of
leaves of tho prickly cactus, and later tho
riddlo was solved by his seeing sonio
monkeys engaged in surrounding a sleeping
reptile with tho spinous vegetation.

in stinging its own body and dying at

Kuno thing happens when a poisonous
enako is hemmed in by tiro, in a epasm
of des]>cration at linding no chance of escape,
it turns its means of self defense 1
into means of self destruction. 6

It is a fact worth noting that most of
the families who wcro raised to high
positions and profusely gilded by tho First
Napoleon aro extinct, and that those 6till
existing aro represented chiefly by
women. Tho First Empiro and its wars
did not play havoc with the dukes and
princes who 6prang up around its head.
The harm was dono by tho second empiro,
whoso ideal was fairo boinbance.

tho eighty-four centenarians who were uioi
vo in Franco at the taking of the last
isus were extremely poor. Thero were ou
enty-ouo of them living on aims as i Am
;gars or in almshouses. Tho open air ! of i
a of a shepherd must bo also conduo
to long life. A beggar named Rives, ^
Tarbes, was born in 1770, and a 11
>man who herded goats in the Ceven- Tha
s mountains had exceeded 118 years,
idows survive into a great old age;
eir husbands more often than widow- Wo
s pay such a bad compliment to their Ah,
ives. Tho proportion of tho centenarian
idows as compared to tho saiuo class of
idowers was as 41 to 28 in 1884. Is "
is because tho ungentle sex aro tho Th
oro deeply sentimental, or tho gentle Th

You know?or perhaps you don't su
