i Sndiaa Revenge .-? Jed Wilson and I pitched our camp near an Indian viiiuge on the "Trap-qua river. The chief of the tribe was ono Wah-kia-na, a tall, muscular Indian of. perhaps forty five. Wah-kia-np. became quite a frequent visitor. His favorite loung ing place was the log cabin in which Jed and I did tho cooking. One morning Jed discovered (Wah-kia-na in the act of jabbing a long, sharp pointed piece of iron he invariably carried in his belt into the soup kettle, hoping, no doubt, to fish out a nice hot chunk of beef. This was more than my companion could stand. Knocking the iron out of the red skin's hand with a quick blow, Jed grabbed the fellow by the scruff and the slack and rushed him out of the cabio, quitting him with a push that sent him sprawling upon the ground. After that Wah-kia-na came to ?the cook house no more, and in a month or so the incident had drop ?ped completely from our minds, but not from the Indian's. In his heart ihe nurtured vengeance. ; One day we learned that there emptied into the Ump-qua a certain stream the exploration of which .promised considerable sport. This (tributary was known as Smith's riv er, after an unfortunate trapper who had been killed by the Indians many jyears before. When we had arranged our plans, 7,ve made them known, to Wattie [Linn, a sturdy old backwoodsman, ?who had taken quite a ie icy to us .youngsters and had more than once iproved himself a true friend. Just ,;?s we were pushing off along came JWattie. j "Waal," he said, "good luck to ?ye. But look byar. I want ye to ?promise me a something. Guess jit'll take ye three days to get up to [Smith's, thar bein' a freshet in the [river, but a day ought to fetch ye ?back slick as grease. Now, give me ?yer word, boys, to be back byar by five days at the latest-that is, if ye kin." iWe promised the old fellow and Sipped our paddles, impatient to be joff. ? "Good, lads, and now look hyar. df so be as you meet trouble and hev jto quit the canoe and tramp home, .-siake tracks down the right bank of [the river; the right bank, do you hear?" ! Nothing particular happened un "til the afternoon of the third day. IWe were ripping, ?long very quietly {when suddenly Jed reached over the iside of the canoe and fished some thing out of the water. It proved ?to be a small, closely woven Indian pasket. 1 "That's bad, Jed," I exclaimed. ?"Sure as guns there's redskins ahead bf us." I "We'd have met the beggars if H h ey had come down stream; so they jmust have gone up," said I. "What's to be done, Jed? I "Done! Go ahead and trust.in Providence," replied Jed. ."They may be friendly or they may not. t?nyhow, we've got our rifles." "What's that yonder?** cried Jed, .pointing to a hill a little distance ahead. Its sloping side was dotted twith what looked to be huts. We ?rested on our paddles and gazed .np on the scene with silent anxiety, i ?We found the cause of our wonder ito be an old Indian burying ground. ?The hutlike risings were simply (hillocks of earth, each of which ?marked the resting place of a war rior. j Paddling a mile or two farther along, we camped for the night. . j As soon as it was light enough "we started to mount to the top of what wa meant to be our. long to boggan slide back to Ump-qua. It twas the worst rapid we had yet en countered. After trying it several ?ways, without success we had to re sort to the towing line. ' I iWo dragged our little craft up 'through the boiling current yard by yard. It may haye been within a dozen feet of us whan, crack! the ?stout .hide line suddenly pnapped, ?nd away, went the canje1 with all ?our atores and Jed?I tine, dashing imadly down the falls, ? j "What fools to: worry," cried Jed, ."when we can get all the canoes we want''* "Where?" I "Down in the burial ground, of course. -Ifs only a mile or so. Come along.*' Fortunately w? were on the same iside of the river, and an hours hard (struggling through the dense woods [brought us to 'the cemetery. We 'found that most of-the "cano?s were jin very bad condition, but finally 'came across one that seemed, sea worthy. Our good fortune mended '.our spirits, ana as we sped onward; lye laughed and. joked and broke tatvromckiiig songs. Ve had made a mile or so when, shooting round a sharp elbow of the river, we w?re' thunderstruck to find burselVes abreast of a large Indian ?amp nitched on the\bunk. The sorrowing of- ihe 'stream at : this point, brought us within twenty yards of ?ur. foes. Uttering a :. howl of rage, they toado ?^^i?Vfr?ah.; for the ^ grater's ?dge, threw themselves Unto their canoes and came after us in full pursuit. And foremd3t among them e recognized the tall form of Wah* ia-nn. With a swift w?vo.of our paddles e ? turned the nbsc of pur antique craft inward the bank, r?acKmg which we leaped ashore. 1 seized the ?run, and in two seconds we were ? tearing through the thick brush wood toward the forest beyond. That afternoon and evening ? tramped many miles. At nightfall, i being utterly fagged out, I threw myself upon the turf beside a small stream and was soon sound asleep. I awoke a little after dawn, cold and stiff and desperately hungry. I was about to move along when I was startled to he?r a crackling among the brushwood. I set my teeth and brought my rifle to my shoulder, ready to fire as soon as the thing should break cover. Presently who should stagger into view but Jed, the poor fellow ready to drop with fatigue and hunger. We started off, but soon Jed, who was carrying the gun, while clam bering over the rocks made a mis step and fell. The weapon flew from his hand, and, the trigger striki lg hard against a stump, a loud report followed among the sur rounding hills. But that waa not the worst. Jed's ankle recouped a very bad twist in his fall, and for some minutes the poor fellow was agonized with pain. Now we noticed a column of smoke rising nearly opposite our po sition from the other bank of the river. "A Bignall" cried Jed. "They must have heard the report. What a clumsy idiot I was I" "And see," said I, "there's an an swering signal to the right and an other to the left. But we've got a good start of them, and before they strike our trail we must be miles away." All that afternoon we toiled on ward over our rugged course. Mean time, however, Jed's wounded ankle grew worse, until at sunset it was swollen to twice its natural size, and he could proceed no farther. Twilight slowly darkened into night. The moon rose and cast her fading light upon the scene. A more welcome light, I think, I shall never behold. Presently signal fires on the hills near by told us that the rest of our enemies were close at hand. Again I looked to the priming of my gun and otherwise prepared for action. For fully twenty minutes we heard nothing of our foes, though we knew well the cowardly fellows were debating how best to reach us. Then from their ambush in the wild oats we heard voices, as though they were encouraging each other to charge, and we realized that the crisis was ab hand. Suddenly I was startled by an ex clamation, from J ed. ."It'B all up, Joe!" he cried. "No use firing. The villains have got us in the rear!" "Hist, boys, hist!" whispered a voice from the bow of the canoe. "Good heavens, it's Wattie 1" "Aye, boys, and just in the nick of time. Catch hold of this hyar line and haul us in right smart." ' This was done, and all so quietly and quickly that the Indians knew nothing of our re-enforcements. A minute later they broke cover, rush ed into the open and, with a blood curdling yell, charged pell me ll down upon us. "Fire !" shouted Wattie in a voice that rang loud above the uproar, and instantly five spouts of flame flashed in the faces of our foes. Surprised, thunderstruck, utterly discomfited, the advancing body reeled back from the volley they had so little expected. j "After 'em, boys I" yelled Wattie, leaping up over the bank and giv ing chase. We sent them flying in all directions, each Indian intent only on securing his personal safety. Then, returning to the bank, we sought our two fallen iocs. The first we came up to was lying face downward, having pitched forward as a bullet found his heart. Turn ing him over, we found he was none other than the villainous Wah-kia na.-^-George H. Westley in Boston Globe. ; j_' The Ruling Spirit ? Paris journal Telates that a celebrated speculator, who had reached, the age of eighty-five and still preserved .a lively. imercst rn the merket, was told one day: "Evidently yotr ar? going to live to be a hundred years old." **No-no," he said. ''I'm' going to die very soom I know it." "What makes you think so?" "What-makes me think so? Do you suppose death is such ? fool as to take me at 100 when he could get me at eighty-five?" ?' - m m ?

At First lt Was tho Exclusivo Property of Venetian Nobles. "Do you know that tho color of a mufi once betokened the rank of the wearer?" enid a furrier tho oth er day as he stroked a beautiful sealskin muff. "In the days of Charles IX. no lady could* have worn this fur, for black was decreed by the king to be the badge of the common people, and the court fol lowers were restricted to the colors. "Muffs have gone through moro styles than it would seem possible to invent for such a simple article of convenience. It has been long and narrow like a sheaf and again large and round. At tho beginning of thc last century tho test of tsize was to try tho muff in a flour barrel. If it went in without much trouble, then that muff was too small to be really fashionable. At the present day almost anything is proper, but those enormous cylinders would cer tainly draw much attention. One of the most curious styles was that of Louis XIV., called the 'chiens mauchons/ because they were made to convey little dogs in. "The muff when first introduced was the exclusive property of the nobility and originated in Venice. These muffs were very e-mail and consisted of a single piece of velvet, brocade or silk, lined with fur, and the openings fastened with rich jewels. Such arrangements carno in during the early part of tho seven teenth century, but in tho previous century the ladies frequently car ried a piece of rich fur, which they used either as a mufi or a neck piece. "The muff reached its highest point in the reign of Louis XV., when the productions were exqui site. Then fashion declared for a cloth muff instead of fur, and the furriers made a great uproar. They petitioned the pope to excommuni cate the wearer of a cloth muff, but $Q no purpose. Finally some in genious merchant bribed the heads man to carry a cloth muff on execu tion day. The women shrank from such association, and the fur won the day. We now associate the mufi only with cold weather, but in the old days it was a regular part of woman's dress and was'carried in all weathers. As late as 1830 a muff and a straw bonnet were not deemed incongruous." - Shanghai Times. _ After All, Only an Illusion. "Speaking of consistency," said Professor Royce, "there once was a Hindoo sage who said that every thing was illusion. So ono day when he was in the middle of a field his friends let a 'bad' elephant loose. The sage ran at the top of his speed and climbed a tree. When the elephant had been secured, the wise man's friends gathered under the tree and said: "'We thought you said every thing was illusion f* "'I did/ said the frightened but still true philosopher. "'Ah, but you ran fast enough when the real elephant pursued you.' '"You are mistaken again/ said the sage. 'There was no elephant, and I did not run. It was all il lusion/ "-Boston Record. Liquor and Seasickness. Regarding seasickness a traveler says: "Before sailing it is just as well for a man not to take too many .farewell dinners and not to start out 'with a head on him.' One of the worst cases of seasickness I ever saw was accumulated by a .man who had never been seasick before and had sailed all over the world. But he was sailing from Honolulu and the day before had been to a farewell luau/ where he had eaten poi and raw fish mixed with a great deal of frapped ' champagne. His friends came down to see him oS and hung many floral leis about his neck. They also poured more champagne into his neck. As a result the acute case of seasickness which he devel oped alarmed even the nu i o's Bur geon." _.. Her 8sor?L' "A woman can't keep a secret/1 declares the mere man." "Oh,'I don't know I" retorts the flutteryvwoman. 'Tve kept my age a secret since I was twenty-four." "Yes," but one of these days you will give it away.

LEARN SELF RELIANCE. Do Not Bo Continually Appealing to Others For Advice. No grouter evidence of weakness of character can be shown than a continual appeal to friends for ud vice. At times we all need the coun sel of a good friend, but to con stantly ask for it is like constantly borrowing. Better make a mistake once in awhile from too hasty a de cision than to form the habit of in decision. It is tho first milestone on the road to failure ? Never permit yourself to bo pull ed hither and thither by a half dozen conflicting opinions regarding the courso you should pursue. Your friends may bo wise, kind and un selfish, but they cannot live your life for you. "iou must work out your -vvn destiny. If you aro vio lating principles and breaking laws of God and society, every moral and decent citizen hus a right to object to your course of conduct, because it interferes with the universal well being of humanity, says the Phila delphia Inquirer. % But if you are 6imply pursuing a line of work or following a courso of study or setting forth on a career which seems to you tho ono desira ble thing in life, do not allow your convictions to be influenced or shoped by the advice of others. Do everything that you know must be dono as quickly ns possible, not hastily, but with dispatch. When the ocean tide is coming in, its waves sweep forward with resistless force, one after the other, and break higher and higher upon the beach until ito work is done, then turns its force in another direction. That is tho way to accomplish things-put one task out of the way and make room for another. Do not spend hours, weeks or months in trying to plan out tho way to do things. Do them. Make a small beginning and keep going. Put noth ing off. More failures are the re sult of caution than of rashness. If you have tried a certain course of life, believing it to bo tho right ? ono, and then find you are in error, chango your methods boldly and fearlessl)'. Do not wait to talk tho matter over with all your acquaint ances to find out their opinion. It does not matter what they think so long ns you are convinced what is the right thing to do. Only by leaning on yourself and not on others will you ever amount . to anything in this life.-Exchange. According to Law. This story is being told of a cer tain New York politician: Ho had succeeded in securing for a friend of his a position as tax assessor at the cost of considerable exertion. Not long after the friend had begun work in his new position the politi cian was surprised and grieved to see that he was taxed, under "per sonal property," $24 as the pos sessor of one goat. He called on his friend the assessor for an ex planation, accusing him of ingrati tude and forgetfulness of favors re ceived. "But I couldn't do less than obey the specific details of the law," pro tested his friend. "Look I Here's what it says," and he read from his papers, "For all property bounding or abutting on tho highways, $12 per front foot."-Harper's Weekly. Not a Bake Shop. "I want a removal sign painted, and I'm in u dreadful hurry/'' said the physician's wife as she bustled into a sign painter's establishment. "I want a plain tin sign,- painted black, with white letters, and I'll wait for it." <fVery well, madam," said the brush handler. "Did you bring your lunch?" "Why, no. I thought you could do it in a very few minutes." "It may tako several hours to dry." "But can't you put it in the oven?" asked the woman impatient ly. "Madam," said the painter, with dignity, "this is a paint shop. We do no baking here. Hts Designs on Chaos. A dry goods merchant was ex plaining the situation to the new traveler he had just engaged.

AN OLD TYPE FAKIR. The Trick That Held the Crowd Until | He Had Soid His Wares. "Back in thc carly eighties of tho last century 1 had my first experi ence with the fakir of the old type," said a man at one of the hotels, "and the experience ran through an entire afternoon. I was living in eastern Arkansus at the time in one of tho small but progressive towna of that section of tho country. It waa in thc fall of tho year, when everybody had money. Cotton waa being picked and marketed, and the negroes were rolling in wealth on Saturdays, and they flocked to town to spend it. Of course the fakirs took advantage of the season. The artist I have in mind was selling a vast number of things, but a curious little whistle that would mako all kinds of noise was the main thing. Ho would charge 25 cents, only a quarter of a dohar, two dimes and a nickel, for tho whistle, and, just to show that he wat generous, would throw in a bar of soap, a collar but ton, a comb, a watch chain, 'as good as gold/ and a few other things. Honestly, the fellow was giving away BO much stuff in order to sell his whistle that I looked upon him as a sort of philanthropist. I thought ho was losing money right along. But tho main thing that at tracted mo was the fact that the fel low kept on threatening to swallow a long knife he had. Tho knife was as long as his arm, a rusty, desper ate looking thing, and every time he moved it and announced that he would swallow it in a second tho crowd would congest around the dry gooda box the fellow was standing on. He would always want to give away a few moro bundles of jewelry before performing the feat, of course. I tried to leave tho place more than a dozen times during the afternoon, but every timo I started to walk off tho fellow would yell that he would do his renowned trick by forcing tho long knife he had down his throat, and this blood curdling announcement would stam pede me, and I would make a break to return. Before I knew it the afternoon had slipped away from me. I wasted all the time watching the fakir shove his wares off on the negroes who had gathered there and nursing the vain hope that after awhile he would swallow the knife. It ?9 curious what deep impressions will sometimes be made by these trifling experiences in a country boy's life. I have been a skeptic since that time, and all because the fellow deceived me on the question of swallowing a butcher knife." New Orleans Times-Democrat. Pooiic Justice. He was chuckling gleefully. "Tom," said his wife, "what's .the matter with you? For the last ten minutes you ve had something on ?'our mind, and now you start aughing. What is it?" '.My dear, I cannot go through life with so terrible a secret from you. Do you remember that coun terfeit $10 I got a year ago ?" , "Yes. It was the only money you ever managed to save." "Well, it's gone." "Gone ?" "Yes. It's paid out." "Why, Tom, how did your con science ever allow you to do such a thing,-and hoyt* can you laugh about it now?" / "That's the worst of it. I can't feel bad. I try to be ashamed of it, but I can't. You see, I used it in settling your milliner's bill." Philadelphia Press. The Reason of Hor Devotion. He (after marriage) - I don't know why you are not as consider ate of my comfort as you used to be of your father's, v She-Why, my dear, I am. He-How do you make that out? When I come into the house, I have to hunt around for my slippers and everything else I happen to want, but when I used to court you and your father would come in from town you would rush about gather ing up his things, wheel his easy chair up to the lire, warm his slip pers and get him both a head rest and a foot rest, so that all ho had to do was to drop right down and be comfortable. She-Oh, that was only so he'd go to sleep sooner. An Indignant Romeo. One Alexander, manage? of a Glasgow theater, who was also a very bad^ actor, when he had become an old man was playing the part of Romeo one night, the Juliet being a young giri. After swallowing the poison he was lying dead when the grotesqueness of the situation evok ed applause from the gallery. Alick (the name by which ho wa3 uni I versally known) felt this was meant j for mockery. Rising to his feet, he came to the front of the stage and said: "You think I can't play Ro meo, but I can play Romeo. I have played it before," naming some peo ple of distinction, "and I shall play it again." He then lay down and died a second time. -- Shut your eyes wrien you look at the faults of a friend. - A woman is always pretending that she never pretends. - Nearly every time a man displays his temper he loses it. -A man may mind his own business and still be narrow ruiuded. - A orank is tho discoverer of a theory before the publio is ready to pay for it.
