“H's only a piece of fuif,” said Millicent Manton.
“ Everybody must do
something for amusement.
And it is
so cruelly, fiendishly’ dull at San Jean!”
“ Dul.l, eh?” ITer elder brother - elder
by a good score o f years—shrugged his
shouldei s.
“ You find it dull, do you ?
Well, you must remember that you in­
sisted on coming, in spite of all our re­
monstrances.
Y ou thought it was a
military post, eb, and that there was
some fiirting to be done? Well, you’ ve
found out your mistake by this time.”
“ Yes, I have,” frankly admitted Miss
Manton, clasping her hands on top of
her curly bead. “A nd 1 wish to good­
ness I was hack in dear old Chicago!
But in the meantime, I must try and
keep myself aliye.”
Her blue eyes scintillated wickedly,
the corners of her rose-leaf lips tele­
graphed to the answering dimples on
cheek and chin.
But Hugh Manton regarded her
sternly.
“ Who was that letter to ?” he asked.
“ To Phyllis Perkins, the schoolma’am.”
“ Humph!
I didn’t know she was a
favorite o f yours.”
"X either is she.”
“ Why are you corresponding with
her?”
“ Pm not. That letter was not from
m e; it was from David Belfield, the ex­
press agent—or at least so she will sup­
pose. H e wants to see her— or at least
so she will think— up at the station.
A nd she’ll go to him.
She’s Just fool
enough for that. H ow he will stare!
A nd how she’ll long fo r the cracks in
the railway platform to open wide
enough for her to be able to slip
through and vanish from his sight!”
A nd Milly laughed exultingly.
Her brother’s eyes met in a dark
frown.
“Is that your idea o'f fun ?” said he.
Milly nodded.
“A splendid joke,” said she. “ Such a
piece o f prim perfection as that Yhiikee
sehoolma’m is! I haven’ t forgotten yet
what a scornful look she gave me that
night I was teasing poor little Ileggy
W illis at the sheet and pillow case
party.
I f David Belfield gives her
another such glance when she presents
herself uninvited at the station, I shall
feel myself avenged. A ll is fair, you
know, on the first of A pril; he’s very
sick, don’ t you understand ?” she added,
roguishly. “ He thinks he’s going to die,
and has something to confide to her
first.
Ob, you may depend upon it-,
Hugh, she will lose t o time.”
“ But it’s after train time, M illy;
she’ll have to walk.” ’
“ O f course she will; that’s part of
the jok e!” nodded ihe beauty.
“Bleyen miles!”
“Yes, eleven miles.
But she won't
mind.”
“Hook here, Mill,” cried Man ton,very
angrily, “ you’ ve done a mean and cruel
thing.
1 did Dot lliink it was in a
woman to play such a contemptible
trick as that!”
“ Oh, you’re setting up to defend the
Yankee sclioolma’am, are you?” re­
plied Miiliceuf, defiantly, “ Apparent­
ly she is the queen o f all hearts.”
“I don’ t ciire a copper about Miss
Perkins,” said Manton, “ ..ndyou know
that as well as I do. But I like to see
fair play.
And I mean to go and tell
her that all this is a malicious joke on
your part.”
“ Go by all means,” said Milly, calmly.
“But I think you’ll find yourself too
late. Don’ t look at me so savagely. A
long walk won’t hurt her, and a sharp
disaipointment will only do her good.”
“F or deliberate cruelty an'd con­
scienceless fraud,” slowly uttered Manton, “ give me a woman.”
He strode fiercely out to the sawmill,
where the strong throbs o f steam ma­
chinery shook the building, and busied
himself among his workmen, while
Milly, with a yawn, betook herself to a
crumpled novel and a box o f somewhat
stale chocolate bonbons,
She had come to visit her brother at
San Jean, under the impression, that
the fat Pacific coast was a very lively
sort of place, with plenty o f picnics,
yachting parties and the government
officers to pass away the time.
T o her amazement, she had discov­
ered that San Jean was a wild and
solitary nook, fa r from the luxuries o f
civilization—a Sahara in the woods.
H er' brother’s w ife was eminently
uncongenial to her, being a mere do­
mestic machine.
Miss Perkins, the district school
teacher, took no paius to conceal her
scorn of the gay city coquette, and
Miilicent was drearily counting the
days until her mother should send a
remittance sufficient for her to return
to Chicago.
She had tried her best to get up a
flirtation with the foreman o f the
steam sawmill, and with David Bel­
field, the handsome young official at
the railway express office, but neither
o f them seemed inclined to respond;
and Milly Manton, like Mariana, in the
“ Moated Grange.” could have cried out
in shear desperation, “ I am weary,
Weary; I would that I were dead!”
* o * * * *

■ “ Sick! alone! and has something to
say to me that must be said!
Oh, I
wonder what It can be 1” said Phyllis
Perkins to herself, as she sped with the
long, swinging stride o f a true daugh­
ter o f the wilderness, through the
liower‘ enameled woods, springing ligh
ly from stepping-stone to steppingstone across the foaming bed o f the
riv.er, pushing her way .through thick­
ets o f mazanitha and Copses o f faintly
smelling nutmeg trees.
“I f only I
could have got the note in tinie to take
the train.”
Phyllis Was the very •embodiment
and impersonation of truth, and it.
never for one instant occurred to her
to suspect the authenticity of the sum­
mons she had received.
A n d the sun hung low on the edges
o f the forest when at last she ran up
the rude wooden steps o f the unpaint­
ed pine building above which towered
the rudely traced sign, San Jean Station,
All was still.
The heat of the sun
had drawn little bubbling spots of
resin out o f the green boards, and the
sw eet Spring scents came up from the
glen below.
. Phyllis knew that the next train did
not stop until toward nine o’clock, so
that the quiet and silence seemed not
unnatural.
She opened the door and'w en t in.
H o one was there. The door into the
ticket office was open, hut the seat in
front of the desk was empty.
Phyllis looked around in some per­
plexity.
“ Mr. Belfield!” she called.
The steep mountain side sent back
her voice in a muffled echo.
A sense
o f sudden terror came upon her—a
blind instinct for flight. Iu the same
instant she thought she heard a groan.
Once more she looked all around her.
Surely _ that groan had risen out of
the very depths o f the earth; and
there, almost at her feet, was the iron
ring o f a trap door leading to the cel­
lar below.
It was the work o f an instant for
her to lift the door and look down into
the black depths.
“ Help! help!” moaned a feeble voice.
And Phyllis saw lying there, in a
cramped attitude, hound hand and foot,
with his ptllid face streaked with
blood, the poor young ex or ess agent.
“ Is it you. Phyllis?” lie murmured.
“Surely. Providence has sent you to my
aid!
Get a knife—a sharp stone—
som thing, and cut those cords! They
are tearing their way through my flesh!
A nd a drink o f water, Phyllis, for
Heaven’s sake!
And then—then yon
must hang out the red light—those
brutes have piled rocks on the track
just this side o f the sharp curve, to
wreck the train!
It’s Tuesday night,
and the paymaster is coming down
from San Francisco with the money to
pay off the railroad hands. They ’ll he
waiting not far away for the crash,
b u t you must s o on as far up the track
as you can run,and signal the engineer.”
“A nd leave you?”
She had been

Phyllis lifted her frank eyes to his
face with Innocent surprise.
“Y our letter,” she said. “Didn’ t you
write ?”
“ I write? Certainly not.”
“ But you did.”
She pulled the crumpled, half-sheet of
paper from her pocket— the letter that
had sent such a joyous thrill through
her heart.
“ See! W ill yon deny your own hand­
writing?”
“ It isn’ t my hand-writing at all.

A ud Millie came out, in her white

very inappropriate to her surroundings.
“Didn’t I fool you beautifully ? And

Phyllis drew herself up with uncon­

“I could hardly suspect,” said she,
“ that a lady could be guilty o f such a

Selfishness W e ll B ew avded.
The subject o f the ethics o f polite­
ness as manifested by travelers in
yielding or retaining their car seats
forms a never-ending topic o f conver­
sation among those who have occasion
to study the various phases o f the
problem.
In connection with the subject a
commercial traveler gives an illustra­
tion o f an event that recently came to
liis attention. It occurred one day last
autumn on an accommodation running
on tile Pensyivania railroad between
Columbus, Ohio, and Indianapolis, and
was as follow s:
“ The train was entirely inadequate
to accommodate the travelers,” said
the speaker. “It had come through
from Pittsburg, and the passenger car
was already well filled when I entered
it at Columbus. There were but few
vacant places.
The first seat; I espied was_ by the
side o f one of these human hogs that
one encounters more frequently upon
a railroad train than anywhere else.
He had' carefully spread his overcoat,
gripsack and, sundry other articles on
the seat by his side so as to make it
inaccessible to another passenger.
I did not like the man’s looks, but
as the car was crowded I approached
him to ask if the seat was taken. Be­
fore I could put the question he look­
ed up and said gruffly, ‘This seat is
taken, sir.’ I was rather surprised at
bis adding the word ‘sir,’ and I knew
that he lird when he made the state­
ment. However, it did not trouble.me
much, as I readily found an unoccupi­
ed place.
W hile I journeyed along I heard the
hog tell fifteen separate and distinct
lies in order to retain the entire seat,
lie varied the formula somewhat. A t
one time it was the wave of the hand
and a glance to the rear o f the car to
indicate that the occupant o f the seat
was in the smoking car. Ano'her
time, to the inquiry o f a mild-manner­
ed and timid questioner, he replied
with a stolid stare,
I was tempted to crawl up behind
him, to call him a liar and th n thrash,
him. 1 did nothing o f the sort, howev­
er, and eventually I had my revenge.
It came in the shape o f a big red­
faced countryman, who boarded the
train at a way station. The new Com­
er weighed fully 280 pounds, and
from his soiled clothing I judged he
worked in a slaughter house or some­
thing equally savory.
A s luck would have it, the only va­
cant seat Was th6 one beside the sel­
fish hog. A s the other human porcine
halted the guardian of the latter
s a id .‘This seat i s ------ ’
‘ That’s all right,’ said the sweet­
smelling heavyweight as he plumped
himself with a heavy thud beside the
occupant. ‘I guess I’ll keep it till the
other fellow comes along.’
Our selfish traveler started to blust­
er, but the red-faced rufiian soon took
that out o f him by sundry threats of
violence.
A fter a while the second barbarian
grew good humored. H e told funny
(?) anecdotes and poked the first hog
in the ribs, as he himself went off
with long-continued rounds o f laugh­
ter. He wanted to know where his
his companion came from, and where
he was going. H e spit tobacco juice
across trim out o f the window, or ex­
pectorated upon the floor near the
traveler’s effects.
It was easy to see that the original
hog was the most miserable man in
the world.
A t last the latter could stand it no
longer. H e crawled out o f his seat,
gathered up his traps and entered the
smoking car. F or forty miles h e alter­

Ants and Tiieir Uses.
During the twelve months spent in
the Austrailian colniies twenty years
ago. 1 had more opportunities than
were pleasant of studying the habits of
ants.
They are a positive pest in hot
countries. They march in myriads and
destroy everything in their road.
I
have heard it seriously stated that they
consume everything but bottled beer—
and even t his is safe only when the
bottles are filled with glass stoppers.
Cork, it seems, is not excluded from
the form ic bill of fare, and would no
doubt be more succulent and appetiz­
ing when soused in Bass or Allsopp.
In justice to the aunts, however, I
am bound to admit that I have found
them useful in more ways than one.
For instance, I bought an opossum skin
rug from a native.
I soon became
painfully aware that it literally swarm­
ed with fleas and other vermin.
In
vain did I exhaust m y stock o f pepper.
Even turpentine seemed to have no ef­
fect beyond increasing the reekless ac
tivity of these irritating settlers.
At
last in despair I threw my m g down
on an ant hill.
In less than half an
hour every flea and objectionable para­
site was eaten, but the rug was full of
ants. I then bung it on a mimosa bush,
and as soon as the ants .found they
were suspended they left the rug and
descended by the bush as best they
Could,

There are several scandals just siz­

Mrs. Josephine E. Losure was the
Only child o f George G. and Elizabeth
Roberts.
She was bora in Weesaw
township, this county.
During a series o f meetings conduct­
ed by Rev. Israel Wilkinson, o f Morgan
Park, 111., she was converted In the old
school house o f Elm T alley district,
where most o f her school days were
spent. In January, 1SS0, she was bap­
tized and became a member o f the
Three Oaks Baptist ehnrch.
In August. 1SS7, she was married by
Rev. B. McDerman to Shipman Losure,

been their home until last spring, when
they purchased a small farm and mov­
ed a sliort distance into the country.
Here she was attacked by typhoid fever
and her parents were summoned to her
bedside.
Recovery soon seemed cer­
tain, and they were hoping that she
might soon return home with them,
when on the morning of Monday, Oct.
19, she was seized with paralysis and
died instantly, only her husband being
present. She was twenty-three years
o f age, and leaves one child.
H er remains were brought to the
home o f her parents, thence to the
Baptist church in this place, in which
she has held a membership since its
organization, and after an address by
Rev. J. Cashman, were interred in the
village cc-metery.
Many were the tokens o f sympathy

A Horse’s «XoIce.
A Mansfield (O.j doctor is the owner
o f a horse which has a fondness for
playing practical jokes. Recently the
physician drove out into the country to
answ'er a sick call. Arriving.at his des­
tination he tied his horse to a post, near
which hung a rope attached to a large
bell used ns a dinner- signal for em­
ployes on tlie place, and went inside.
Suddenly tiie bell rang. The doctor
and the man of the house both looked
out, but could see nothing except tlie
horse. They had hardly turned away,
however, before the bell rang again,
and again they looked but could see
nothing.
‘
«
This was repeated, and the doctor
determined to solve the mystery; so at
the third ring, instead of going into the
bouse he stepped out and liid in the
yard. Ho kept his eye on the bell rope,
and in about a minute was surprised to
see his horse lift up Ills head, smile sly­
ly, and give the rope a good, hard tug.
When the physician sprang oat and
confronted the horse tlie animal instant­
ly tried to put on a look of innocence,
but was unsuccessful.—Boston Herald.

great quantities of small and very pure

in jewelry and sold to tourists. Many
of them are whiter than any diamond
and frequently as brilliant and trans­

them at Little Falls, N. Y., are worked
by tapping the rock until a hollow

within such cavities the crystals are
discovered, sometimes as many as a

found several tons of these quartz crys­

A r o A l e x a n d e r became trouble­
some about his borne Sunday, and Mon­
day morning C. B. Treat petitioned the
Judge o f Probate to inquire into his
sanity. During the day on Monday he
was kept in Justice Dick’s office, and
Monday evening sent to the asylum at
Kalamazoo for safe keeping, until the
time set for ids hearing before the
J udge o f Probate, November 8. H e
was accompanied to Kalamazoo by
Deputy Sheriff Blake and “ Button”

T u e s d a y evening Mr. Erastus Kel­
sey was drivirg north from his place,
and when on the high embankment
between the Brocens and Bates places,
the team shied t> one side and upset
the wagon. Mr. Kelsey’ s little girl,
about ten years old, was caught under
the wagon and her knee cap slipped
from its place. The others received
some slight bruises but. no serious
hurts. Drs. Bonine, of Niles, were
called and replaced the bone.
Co u n t y Agent W - J- Jones was in
town this morning and informs the

now. H e says that where two weeks
ago there was a good thrifty growth
o f green, the ground is now bare,
and no wheat to be seen. H e credits
this partly to dry weather, partly’ to
the Hessian fly and partly to the. Mc­
Kinley bill.

A H om e Mi’ tfr Cam ilboat;.
Lying on the Opposite side of the pier
from the Arrow lino steamship Howard
Cassard is the floating home of Captain
L. Leonard and family, o f Buffalo. It
is a caualboat, old aud weather beaten,
but strong and seaworthy. One end is
fitted up as living quarters, with a kitch­
en, dining room and bedrooms, and
there Captain Leonard, Ms wife and
two children pass their time. The rooms
are cozy and homelike, and from the
ceiling of the dining room are suspended
cages containing a mocking bird and a
little cauary. A pet thoroughbred Skye
terrier romps with the children or leaps
in mischievous play at the cages contain­
ing the birds.
Farther back in the boat is a little
playroom used by the children. It con­
tains their dolls and playthings, and also
two-pet White rabbits, which leap about
as gayly as though they were free. A t
the other end of the boat stable room
has been fitted np for a pair of horses,
used by their owner on the towpath,
and a huge, -white Chester pig. The lat­
ter is a thoroughbred, direct from Ire­
land, The mother o f the pig and the
little One were received by Captain
Leonard in June. The mother weighed
over 300 pounds and was a beautiful
specimen of hog flesh. She was sold to
a stock farmer In New York, and, if
she lives, will be shown at the World’s
fair ia 1893. The pig bids fair to outdo
tbe mother, and at three months weighs
over ICOpounds.
The horses and pig get along well
enough together, but the little terrier
dares not show his head in the stable
from fear o f “ Biddy,” the pig. Captain
Leonard ami Ms boat are from the Erie
canal, New York state. In July he
went into New York and got a charter
to Philadelphia, and thence to this port.

A great many suits have been entered
against the Traction company, hut the
queerest one of all has been instituted
by Otto Kramer, who sues it for §2,000
damages, the result of sitting down Upon
a tack. The statement which Mr. Kra­
mer makes regarding the casualty is
rather incomplete. He found the tack
in the cane seat o f a car. The manner
of finding the tack was simple bnt ef­
fective. Mr. Kramer went into the car
and sat right down upon the tack. He
probably got right np again, although
this fact is not mentioned in the court
statement, but the damage had been
done. The wound he suffered led to abcesses.
The tack could not have been of the
ordinary carpet variety, as it protruded
up through the bottom o f the seat, and
protruded very badly at that.
Mr.
Kramer did not give the number of the
car in his statement, and, therefore,
there is no means of knowing whether
that particular tack hasbeen driven back
to a place of safety or whether it is still

A prospector who lias just come'from

that, in Ms opinion, there is little likeli­
hood of its drying up. In any event It
could not all evaporate should the flow
cease before tbe freshets o f -next season,
when it would again pour into the basin.
He thinks that next year the breach al­
ready made will be enlarged, and that a
greatly increased volume, of water will
flow in, making the lake a permanent
feature for many years to come. The
past summer has been eventful in desert
liistory, as there have been an almost

storms and electrical storms. Immense

Now that the game law is off, our
woods will swarm with hunters o f all
descriptions, from the “ cockney” sports­
man down (or up) to the professional
hunter. There-are generally four hunt­
ers to one bird, and we have known men
tramping all day and bringing borne two
or three little chirping birds. It is this
class of hunters who do the most damage,
as they are not capable of shooting game
birds, and pepper away at any and every
little bird they see, till there are hardly
any left. Our local hunters say that there
will be plenty of game tliis season. Gen­
erally speaking we have a fair, mild win­
ter, very little crust on tbe snow and but
few ice storms.
The severe ice storms destroy more
quail than the hunters kill, because quail
generally roost together on the ground,
and i f snow falls during the night and
crusts over, it simply smothers them.
Hunters have found whole flocks of
them lying close together, having been
unable to penetrate through the crust.
There were never so many flocks of quail
around as at present. Go where yon
will you will find them. A large flock
passed over the fair ground Wednesday
afternoon while the trotting took place,
which made some of our hunters’ mouths
water.
Partridges are also very plenty, and,
what is still better, they are full grown
aud phnnp. Of woodcock we have seen
but a few. Years ago they were plenty
every season iu our swamps, bnt the
summer shooting has killed them off,
and but very few breed in our swamps
now. The fall flight generally brings a
few scattering ones, bnt as they are a
migratory bird and fly principally dur­
ing the nighttime, we get but now aud
then a chance to shoot at them. There
are also pleuty of foxes, and our hunters
don’t need to go very far to find them if
they only know how, as Reynard is a
cunning and sly chap.—Watertown (N.

*There is one point of view from which
the formation of a new lake in southern
California by the overflowing of a sandy
desert with water from the Colorado
river possesses peculiar interest. It may
throw light upon some of the mysterious
changes that have occurred upon the
planet Mars. Near the equator of Mars
thereis a region which has been believed
to he part of the dry land of that planet,
and which has been named Lyhiaby the
Italian astronomer Schiaparelli.
But a few years ago a change occurred
in the color o f “ Lybia,” aud some of the
observers thought that it must have
been suddenly overflowed with water,
since it had assumed the color charac­
teristic of the other regions of Mars that
are supposed to be water covered.
Other similar changes have been seen
by telescopists on Mars.
Now that a new lake has actually been
formed’ on the earth by the unexpected
filling up with water of ii depressed area
of dryland, those who believe that a
similar occurrence, on a larger scale, has
taken place on Mars will probably be
strengthened in that interesting opinion.

water is added, and the beans are ready
for use in the winter. The salt that Is

has received a letter from a party call­

signifies his intention of entering the at­
torney’s house six months from date and’
carrying off what valuables he can safe­
ly take. He says his intentions are
merely burglary, and that no arson,
murder or other crime will be attempted.
The burglar coolly admits in his lengthy
epistle that it is not customary with him.
to notify subscribers of his actions. He,
says he knows that if he is canght it
may be three years, to stand one hour in
'the pillory and receive twenty lashes, as
did John Cummins, the Baltimore bur­

The pupils in a Berlin girls’ school re­
ceived instructions from their teachers
to give an account of some incident dur­
ing their holidays in the form of a let­
ter, A ten-year-old child wrote: “ My
mother gave a poor wanderer a cup of
coffee. He asked me to obtain for Mm
some food and gave me his last ten
pfennige.” Another wrote; “ My hat
was so plain that I cut some flowers in
the garden to decorate it, and* hid it
away. My mother has not seen it yet;
but I am very anxious about it.” This
girl received a caution as to her wrong­
doing.
There is some humor in the following;
“ My mother desired me to make a pan­
cake, and I fetched some flour and
made it. It was so light that it broke
in two and fell upon the sanded floor. I
took it np and remodelled it.
My
mother pronounced it gritty ; hut noth­
ing further was said,” Among a num­
ber’ of other letters was this: “ My
father told me to capture some large
yellow flies and take them to an apothe­
cary, who would buy them. W e caugh t
a whole boxful and 1 took them to an
apothecary, but he did not want any. I
incautiously opened the lid of the box
and the flies flew all over the shop.”—

A Lewiston gentleman driving iu the
country found the Watering places by
the roadside dry as herring bones. See­
ing a farmer in a yard by the roadside
he drove np to the door and asked for
water for Ms horse. The man looked at
him interrogatively and said:
“ Water? 1 should say not. I shouldn’t
agree to give yonr horse what water he
might want under half a dollar. It’s
worth that.”
The Lewiston gentleman paid it and
the horse was watered, and the farmersaid in explanation that all the water
they had was brought a long distance
laboriously, by hand, and that it cost
nearly that amount in time and hard
work to get it. Water at fifty cents a
bucket in Maine is a novelty.—Lewiston

A Curious U nion.
The news comes to us of the celebra­
tion of a marriage contract between
Lieutenant Francis Brant, one of the
heroes of the Zulu war, with the daught­
er of King Massirrie, o f Umbongavatos,
a portion of the territory of Africa.
True, the lady, Ms bride, is a kinky
headed Africander; and by reason o f the
marriage of Lieutenant Brant he be­
comes possessed of a mining and trading
concession worth £350,000, and ho is now
the royal consort of a lady who is des­
tined to be queen of an empire 3,500 miles
in length by 3,400 miles in width—a
territory larger In extent than the United
States of America—of innumerable re­
sources and delightful climate, aud bear­
ing most abundantly all agricultural
products and abounding in mineral
wealth. Prince Umbohgavato expects
to become king when Massirrie dies and
rule over the Umbongavatos. He is
commander in chief of the king’s army
of 250,000 soldiers, and he is also judge
of all cases before the king where pen­
alty is not death.—San Francisco Argo­
