"It's real interesting to read about these folks that lived in ( mythological times," said Mr ( Oobb, as he put a slip of paper ^ in his library book and shut it carefully. "Seems as if nine o'clock came quicker than I ever f knew it to before." Mrs. Oobb was putting a large * patch 011 one elbow of tier waist.

Capt. Archibald, of the Amer ican steamer Cherokee, is a stu dent of marine scenic effects, sayt the New York Sun. Recentlj his vessel played a part as block ade-runner in the Santo Domingc revolution, and the captain made use of his knowledge with all the skill of an old stage manager. The Cherokee had freight and mail for Samana and Sanchez, but was stopped outside the porte ut final.' 11\' f lia lldminican irtin boat^EI Presidente. Capt. Paco of the gunboat respectfully announced a blockade. Captain Archibald put his steamer about, and headed into the night for Porto Plata. lie did not go far, however. Remembering that the hull of a departing vessel first disappears from sight, he soon put out his lower lights, then the upper cabin ights, then the deck lights, then dowly lowered the masthead ight and "doused" it also. The Cherokee had not gone two miles roni the lit'le gunboat, but Capt. I'aco believed he had seen her lisappear over the horizon. The blockading officer started lis little gunboat also toward 'orto Plata, where, at daybreak, le intended to intercept theCherikee. As soon as ho was out of light the Cherokee, which lay lidden by the friendly darkness dose at hand, got under way igain and sailed into Sanchez tnd Samana, where Capt. Archibald landed his cargo. Escaped an Awful Fate. Mr.H.Haggins of Melbourne,Fla, writes, "My doctor told nie 1 bad co sumption and nothing could be done for nie. 1 was given up to die. The offer of a free trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discov ery for consumption induced me to try it. Results were startling. I am now on the road to recovery and owe all to Dr. King's New Discovery.

Ureat, But Absent-Minded. It is no disgrace, even for a . famous man, to lose an umbrella, , so the New York Times tells r with evident delight of a cele brated lawyer who darted into a > furnishing-goods store on a recent rainy Friday, purchased an umbrella, and carried it as far as ) the door. There he stopped to make a ' note in a memorandum book. Ha loft (ho nmhralla Inunino i against the wall while he wrote, and when he finished the writing i he started out without a thought of the umbrella. Within a minute ho rushed into the other door of the same shop. lie wanted to buy an umbrella. "1 thought 1 had one with me when 1 left home," he said, in a semi-apologetic way,"but 1 guess I must have forgotteu to take it." A second salesman sold him another umbrella. As he started to carry it from the shop, the first salesman confronted him. "You left your umbrella, sir," the clerk said, as he held up the original purchase. "Bless me, so I did," cried the lawyer, "and 1 suppose I was going off with some other man's!"
