During the Indian mutiny, says a London journal, it was sometimes in battle almost impossible to tell our loyal native allies from tin; revolted enemy. At the relief of Luck now l'ri_ va,o llowell was near a loyal native regiment that had. through too great impetuosity and miseoneeptiou of order-;, got to a position where it was - mistaken for the enemy, and the whole advance of the British army, amid the smoke, poured into it an awful lire, killing meat numbers of men. At this moment Howell, wlm saw tliat the men exposed were paralyzed Willi astonishment and fear, rushed forward some thirtx yards in advance of their line and, throwing up his left hand warningly, waved his helmet at the point of his musket with his right. Hundreds of bullets from his own comrades w hizzed past him, two of-them cutting his right arm. hut the daring d I'd served his purpose, for the Krili.-h oliieors saw what was intended. No sooner had the "Cease fire!'' sounded than the men, to be (lie moment after again in the throes of battle, sent tip a magnificent cheer lor llowell. Od<l Tiling*.

[Copyright, 1P03, by C. B.

It specifies that I owe you IR) cents for services rendered. I do not dispute it. On the contrary, 1 admit the indebtedness and will now proceed to discharge it and show my gratitude at the same time, t propose to take you into one of the most gigantic schemes of the age with lue and divide the profits." "I like my !*) cent," replied the tailor as he looked puzzled and perplexed. "You shall have them, my dear man. and millions more on top of them. Listen to me. I am about to contract for the entire huckleberry crop of next year at 7 cents a quart and raise the price to The est filiated crop is PS,quarts; net profits, JfSbo.iKH.).

I shall want $1<hi from you to help incorporate the concern. Can you pay it to day V" "You?you mean I vhas to gif you one hoonered dollar?" stammered the creditor as his hair fairly stood up. "Yes; that will do at present, provided you want to make about $250,ono during the next year. Perhaps, however, you don't want to waste your time on such small potatoes. If not let me call your attention to another sure thing strictly original with me. It is to buy 20,000 acres of New Jersey marsh lands and cultivate celery. The title ol the organization is t<> he the Croat Unlimited New Jersey Celery IS rowers' association. Our capital will he limited, but our celery will not. "You can see for yourself what there is in it. Twenty thousand acres at 8per acre is $-10,000. Kaeh acre will raise $00 worth of celery, making the season's crop turn in $1,250.000.
