SHE. In my study I was sitting, Just because, Thinking something most befitting Yes, I was When my doorbell gave a jingle, Gave a lingle, tingle Ungle, Then a jingle, jingle, jingle! Was it mad Or only glad? Next I heard a silken rustle In the hall, ' Heard a hustle and a hus tle, Then a call. Soon most sweetly she came blushing Where I stood in waiting, flushing. Down she sat, in style quite crushing, On my hat ; Crushed it flat. Swift she talked in tones ecstatic, High, then low ; Waved her hands in ways emphatic To and fro; ? \ Talked cf father, sister, mother, Cousin, nephew, uncle, brothor, Then of this one, then tho other. While she sat On my hat: Told in aocents soft and broken As could bo Of her home in quai nt Hcbokcn, Near thc sea; Said "somo time she hoptid to go To the areldpelago" What I wished just then, you know, Whilo sho sat On my hat. Did she notice my emotion? Not a bit! Or toward moving take a notion ? Truly nitl Straight one mortal hour she talked on. Not a word did sho get balked on Whilo the carpet I just walked on, And she sat On my hat. Then a packago from its wrapping Sho brought out ; Knew full well she'd caught me napping, I've no doubt ; Said this book was just the one book AU my weary heart to unhook. Would I kindly take just one look? There she sat On my hat. 1 To myself her lis~ I drew it Liken flash; Signed my name most boldly to it j. With, a dash. Then Uprose this lovely being. Through that hall went just a-Seeing, Butane thing was worth tho seeing 'Twas that hat f Where, she sat J -H. S. Barnes in New York Sun. A MEXICAN CAPTURE. ? Colonel Erastus Smith, straighten ed up in his saddle and, lifting his eyes from the slip of paper he had been scanning, critically scrutinized the young fellow before him. The young man in question was tall and Blender, but looked wiry enough, and his face below the part shaded by the wide brim of his hat had be gun to take on a Texas tan. Smith chuckled and mumbled something to himself. The young fellow fingered the handle of his bowie knife nerv ously under tho big, rough looking fellow's gaze and unconsciously dug his spurred heels into the ribs of his sleepy pony. The pony put back his ears wickedly and fidgeted about. "Better be keerful, ' ' suggested the other. "That brute'll dump ye," and Smith folded the paper; stuffed it into a pocket of his buckskin jacket, shifted his quid and shouted to three slouchy looking fellows who stood under a tree '?0 yards away holding three ponies. "Here you, Hawkins," he said, and a bronzed, broad shouldered man sauntered up. "This young feller's name's Lane. General Doug lass sent him down from Nacog doches. Wants to jine Deef Smith's scouts." "Likely lookin youngster," ob served Hawkins aside, removing a corncob pipe from his mouth and sizing Lane up. "Guess he'll do after he gets outen them store clo'es an gits rigged out in buckskin." Hawkins grappled Lane's out stretched hand with a hard grip and continued, "Ef ye come down hy ar fer 'musement, ye'll gi* it, shore!" Night was coming on rapidly, and the gloom was deepening under the dripping magnolias and live oaks. It had been raining steadily all day, and Lane's clothes were spattered with the red day of tho trail he had followed from Liberty to San Jacin to creek. Ho was a good horseman, but was unused to the rough Texas trail and the irregular gait of the sturdy Texas pony General Doug lass had given him at Naeogdoches, and every muscle in his body ached. The rough welcome Deaf Smith gave him cheered him up, and a nip from Hawkins' capacious flask completed the work. "That's something like it, Mr. Hawkins," he said, smacking his lips and returning the flask. "I've needed that for hours." "Yes, that's fust rate stuft," as sented Hawkins. "One o' the hoys got enter a Greaser outfit a couple o' days hack an got a dozen flasks. They say it come from the private supply ?* <;M Santa Anna hisse If ; but, see here, young, feller, you're more'n welcome to the lush, but rec ollect that I'm plain Hawkins. We don't come tho mister game in Texas jist now. We ain't ^ot the time."' Lane followed the big fellow si lently to the magnolia which shel tered the ot ?ier two Texans and was briefly presented to .Ned Hall and Greaser Ear Hatton of Colonel Eras tus Smith's scouts. Greaser Bar Hatton. Lane after ward learned, came hy his name honestly. He had sliced off OUH of the ears of a.Mexican colonel of cav alry in an afluir at Liberty ( 'reek * few weeks before, recovered the trophy, smoked it as he used to ?uoke pork hack in the Georgia piny woods before he came to Texas and wore it sewed to Ins shirt as a memento of his skill wit li the bowie. "There's a matter o' somo half a dozen more," Hawkins explained, noting a surprised louie on Lane's face which he rightly conjectured was caused hy the smallness of the baud whose fame already reached back to the States. "Them six is out lookin alter a batch o' Greaser cevalry what cross ed the creek 'bout two mile tm to git a line on General Houston s j sition. My, but won't they git io ed, though!" and Hawkins slapjj his thigh and chuckled gleeful! "The old inan ain't in ten mile this spot." In ii few minutes a iire had be made and the five men were eati a dinner of broiled bacon and bak sweet potatoes. Their frugal UK disposed of, Hawkins and his ti companions pillowed their heads their saddles and were soon aslei leaving Smith and Lane seated 1 fore the fire. For an hour anc half the old campaigner and the te derfoot sat without speaking, ea busy with his own thoughts. T stillness of the night was only d turbed by the steady dripping of ?. .water from tho magnolias and li oaks, the crackling of the fire ai the noise the ponies made as thi munched their fodder. Lane was thinking what a stranj man this famous Deaf Smith wa He was not the dashing figuro Lai had pictured him to be. He looki rough and unkempt with hisshagg reddish brown beard and grew buckskins, but he had kindly ey and a marvelously square jaw. Lai took all this in in occasional glane across the fire. The fire burnt lower and lower until at last not ing remained of it but a bed of glo\ ing coals. Lane rose to put son more wood on the fire, but Smil deterred him. "Never mind that. I've got scheme," he said. Lane stopped i hear what it was. "The Greasers, Smith continued, "are 'bout ten mi from here, up the creek. Santa Am an his whole outfit is there. Tl ole man wants to know how man o' the varmints there is. Let's g audsee." Lane thought that it was prctt dark to be prowling about in tl woods, and he was almost ready 1 lall asleep where he stood, but I was too discreet to say so. At Smith's suggestion they le; their rifles behind and left cam armed with their bowie knives onlj The Texan walked rapidly and car? lessly through the dripping uude: brush, which drenched Lane's drie out clothing and wet him to the skii They stumbled over fallen logs, ra into gullies, stepped into pools c water and got tangled up in bric patches for half an hour befoi Smith stopped suddenly and said i an undertone: "We'd better be morecarefullikt We're liable to run acrost some ( their redskin scouts at any minut now. ' ' Lane wat? too weary to make r< ply, so he mechanically slaekene his pace and imitated the Texan' stealthy movements. He only hal succeeded, he thought. The Texan' warning had quickened his senses but his tired limbs seemed to hav got beyond control, and hotioundei ed badly. They had goue on in thi way for another quarter of an hon perhaps when the Texan sudden! stopped and raised a warning fingei "Sh'h!" he whispered. "Li down, quick!" Lane dropped, au just as he did so ho heard the shari report of a rifle and simultaneously the uncomfortable music of a bullu as it cut through the bushes over head. There were moro reports a irregular intervals, and, peering through the dripping bushes, lu could see the flashes of tho rifles ? yards away. "We run iuto a nest of 'em, sure, ' murmured Smith, "au damme ef don't b'lieve they'reshootin at us!' Lane thought they were and becaun more and more uncomfortable a: the rifle cracks continued and th? bullets seemed to be cutting througl the bushes closer and closer to them He ducked instinctively every tim< he heard a bullet siug until he de veloped a crick iu the neck. Nov wa? Smith's observation tbat neitbe: Greaser nor Mexican could shoo utraight iu the least reassuring. "Let 'em waEte their amm'ni tion," muttered Smith. "They eau' hit us, an they're too lazy to corn? out au see what they're shootii at." But Colonel Erastus Smith pre Humed ou the national Greaser char act eristics too far, ur rather he dil not calculate on thu presence in tin Mexican camp of a band of Kiow; braves, newly come from the Peco; country, who haduot become affect ed with the Greaser's aversion to in vestigatiou, for when, half an hom after thc firing had ceased, he raisin himsolf stealthily on his elbows t( take a look around a dark bod\ sprang from a nearby bush, and in i second the two were rolling on tin ground. It was the work of a few second: for Smith to abolish this particulai redskin, hut there were others, anc iu a few moments lie and Lane wert prisoners, with bound hands, wad ing San Jacinto creek on their wai t?) Santa Anna'? camp, which thu\ located through the trees by it? smoldering tires. The Indians said never a word but marched them straight througl cum]) and halted tliem before a larg? tent, through the cracks ot' whicl tho dickering light of a pine knot showed. One ol Ihe Indians went ii and. returning in a second, sum moued the quartet wini bad Sm i tl and La no in eharge to OIII<T. Whet their prisoners were delivered, t lit Indians withdrew and left Smith anu his companions in the preseiico ol hall' a dozen swarthy Mexicau oJli Oers, decked out in elaborately lacee uniforms. They we ru seated or catii}) stools about ;i tn ble smoking cigars. There wer.- bullio.- mu] glasses beforo them, and abovotlumi hung a cloud ul' lillie mid black smoke from their cigars and tin. flaring' pine knots. The air was heavy with the ira graut odor of the burning jiine. Smith was the center of attraction to the Mexicans. They scarcely no ticed Lane, whose clothes proclaim ed him a recent arrival in Texas, hu they regarded the famous scout witl unfeigned delight. Finally on< young fellow^, a trifle tipsy perhaps rose, poured out a glass of brand} j and gravely presented it to th< scout. With perfect sangfroid SmitI took the glass, and, with a bow t( the company, swallowed its contents at a single gulp. "Nice stuff," he said glibly smacking his lips. "Think we gol some from tho same stock back ir cami)." Lane could not repressf faint smile as he recalled Hawkins flask, but he quickly s tr ai gh tenet i his face, for tho Mexicans fell tc j talking among themselves. | They asked Smith questions, which hean, swered nonchalantly in their OWL tongue. Lane did not understand what they were saying, but he occa sionally caught the words "Capitan Smeeth," "Santa Anna," "General Houston" and "Ahumada." He concluded that Ahumada was the gravo looking man in therathei plain uniform who sat at the head of the table and only said a word or two now and then and that he was a person of some importance from the def erence the others paid to him. Finally tho conference was over, a guard of Mexican soldiers was sum moned and the prisoners were taken to a tent near by. The thongs were cut from their wrists, and they were conducted inside, two Mexicans mounting guard before the tent en trance. "We ain't to be shot till ole Santa Anna comes, " whispered Smith to Lane as they entered the tent. "Leastwise that's what I surmise. The ole man is back down the road about ten mile with a leg full o' bullets an won't git up till tomor j row." j Lane hud made tip bis mind that he was to be shot. He had heard of the way Mexicans treated prisoners before he got to Texas. What Smith said about a respite until Santa Anna came was rather a disappointment than otherwise. He was too tired to think about it one way or the other, and once in side the tent he sank to the damp ground overcome with fatigue. "He'd better rest," muttered Smith as he watched Lane's eyes close through a cloud of smoke. One of the Mexican officers had cour teously proffered a cigar as he pass ed out of the tent. "He'll be in a better fix to help hissolf if anything happens." i It seemed to Lane that he had ; scarcely been asleep two minutes when ho woke with a start. He ! would have cried out had he not felt ? Smith's hand pressed over his j mouth, lt took him full a minute to 1 realize where he was. Smith's voice recalled him to his senses. "Nota word," the Texan i whispered, "but listen close. One o' j the Greasers is drunk on Santa An j na's whisky-they didn't take my j flask away, ye know-an the other -well, he's seein a bullfight in hell! While I'm entertainin the lusby varmint ye git. Take the back way. There ain't any Injuns there, an nearly all the Greasers is asleep, j Get into the creek an wade down. Wo cum up about ten mile. Ye'll reach camp afore mornin. I've counted the tents. There's 'bout four thousan o' those hidalgos here, an they got six pieces o' artillery..Tell Hawkins this an toll him to make tracks fer Gin'ral Houston's camp with the news." Smith handed Lane a flask and a knife and went back to the tent en trance, wh::re Lane could hear gut tural and indistinct voices. Lane sat dazed for a moment rubbing his ?yes. Then it occurred to him that he was not to die, and his mental and physical strength seemed to re ? turn instantly. He couldn't tell for the life of him how he did it, but in a second he had slit a long hole in the tent and was 'crouching outside in its shadow. The rain had ceased, and through rifts in the scudding clouds he could catch an occasional glimpse of a star. All around him were silent tents and smoldering tires. He could tear the snores of the Mexican sol diers, the tram]) ol' the distant guards and the voices of faraway pickets exchanging their watch words. At first he was afraid to move, hut he soon roused himself. Falling on his hands ami knees, he silently crept between thc still tents in the direct ion ?if t lui creek. Every second he cxpecttrd to he challenged. Lint nothing of the sort occurred, and he was scon as the creek hank. Ile caused a moment to note the course of the stream and then dropped in. Thc water caine tip to his waist as he stood, lt scened lo him that the splash could he heard all over the bleeping camp, and he expected lo see a hundred lot tus spring up and to hear u hundred rifles crack. He sank into th?! icy wat?*r up io j his neck and shivered willi apple ; hension. Everything remained j quiet, and after waiting a low mo- ; men ts he starte? I ?Iowa the stream, ] wading as silently ari hu could. A I m?e below camp ho left the waler j and followed the hank. He reached camp at daylight, sur- | prising Hawkins and Halton and ' Hall ut breakfast. Ho delivered his ! message to Hawkins and Jell into ?1 I swoon. When li?' woke up, hu was lying i on a cot ina rough cabin. Tin'sun- j light was streaming through ihe open door, and the pungent odor of ' the piny woods lilied the air. A man with his arm in a sling sat lie si?o tue COT. Liane stared i?r an in stant and then recognized tho hairy face of Greaser Ear Hatton. He was about to speak, but Hatton inter rupted him. "It's all right," he said, griuniug and pressing a flask of Santa Anna's private stock to Lane's lips. "You done well. Hawkins got to Gen'r'l Houston in time, an we licked hell outen the Greasers two days after ward right on the creek. We got Santa Anna hero in Liberty now." "But Colonel Smith - where's he;" faltered Lane. "Oh, he's down at tho Trinity chasin Greasers! He rubbed out the varmint you left him with at the Greaser camp an got home two hours after you arrove." Lane fell asleep again.-New York Sun. Impetuous Youth. If youth and experience could only go together, what an all conquering conjunction they would make! It is one of the saddest contradictions of this misfit world that the power to discriminate and to appreciate is apt to come too late. It is a curious trait in human nature that, although in science, aud, for that matter, all other impersonal matters connected with our lives, we are willing to ac cept the knowledge that has been acquired before our time and draw our deductions from premises that others have evolved, iu everything that concerns ourselves,and is there fore to us the most important, wo refuse to be guided or to take warn ing from the experiences of others. It is one of the many trials of a fond parent that their children can not, or rather will not, see with their eyes or think as they know they ought to think, and to see them rush blindly into trouble that might so easily have been avoided if youth would only listen and consult with age. Every mother prophesies to unwilling ears what she knows to be true, but what she cannot get her young people to believe, until through experience-which is often unpleasant-they return to the creeds of the nursery, the unques tioning faith of early childhood, that "mother is always right." New York Tribune. Hoiuing Court at Dyea. In the afternoon attended court according io engagement. There were several cases on-one some quarrel about mules and another case I did not understand. There were perhaps a dozen men gathered on the bare Point of Rocks. The court was held in a 10 by 12 tent. The com missioner sat on a box behiud a large goods box, and the lawyers and defendants and plaintiffs sat on othfcr boxts, and discussed the situa tion informally. Atter talking awhile inside, all parties would gu outside to a large rock in front of the tent, and there, with bands in their pockets, talk some more. A settlement was arrived at in each case. There is nut much law herc. Common seusc rules, or tries t<>. a ad if that fails, there is a big United States marshal who sets things straight in about as arbitrary and effective a way as a New York po lice justice does.

For a sore throat, cut slices of fat boneless bacon, pepper thickly, and tie around thc throat with a flannel cloth. When stuug by a bee or a wasp, make a paste of common earth and water, put on the place at once and cover with a cloth. For a cold on thc chest, a flannel rag wrung out in boiling water and sprinkled with turpentine, laid on the chest gives the greatest relief. When a felon first begins to make its appearance, take a lemon, cut off one end, put the finger in, and thc longer it is kept there the better. For a cough, boil one ounce of flax seed in a pint of water, strain and add a little honey, one ounce of rock candy, and the juice of three lemons : mix and boil well. Drink as hot as possible. Often after cooking a meal a person will feel tired and have* no appetite; for this beat a raw egg until light, stir in a little milk and sugar, and season with nutmeg. Drink half an hour before eating. For a burn or scald, make a paste of common baking soda and water, apply at once, aud cover with a linen cloth. When thc skin is broken, apply the white of an egg with a feather: this gives instant relief, as it keeps the air from the flesh.
