Whenever E3I River Dan went oh a tear" consternation reigned in Pilot City. As soon as his strident whoop began to resound through the redwoods surround ing tli9 village the citizens hushed their muriEurings at lesser evils and silently tr.u-ked to their cabins, there to listen, with bated breath, for the first sounds of warfare to follow Dan's arrival in the toTD. Oftentimes the guileless stran ger, unacquainted with the truculent ruffian's 'record, was the victim; but as a general rule it was some obstinate lumberman . who sacrificed himself for mere timid men. It was a eingular fact that no matter how peaceably inclined Pilot City might be, at the moment Eel River Dan came down from his moun -tain home, 'on a time,' somebody had to puffer. He, wes 'bad in tho most literal Bense of the word, and there were but few who i dared approach him after he had 'declared himself and 'turned him peif looEe.. But on this particular occa sion this bleak, windy day in February, when the principal inhabitants of Pilot City had gathered arc uod the glowing stove that warmed the somewhat con tracted limits of the Baf tsman's Home th gayly chattering congregation had received no intimation of the approach of the mountain desperado. Not a single whoop had he uttered as he strode through the sighing pines, not a announcing his coming had been heard by the peaceful residents of Pilot City, and Tehen the gigantic frame of the 'ter ror darkened the door of the H ime a thunderbolt would not have produaed as much genuine surprise, not to call it astonished apprehension, in the breasts of those present as did the appearance of Eel Biver Dan. For an instant the as semblage sat petrified. Then there was a fluttering movement, and Big Mike, the boom hand, made a break for the rear door. The others only waited to satisfy themselves that Dan was 'on it.' This important doubt having been dissi pated, and the conclusion arrived at that the mountaineer was in an unusually disagreeable frame of mind, the remain der of the company withdrew rather precipitately it must be confessed, but with sufficient order and regularity to escape injury in the crash at the side door. ' As soon as the last boot heel had pass ed cvir the threshold Din smiled it was not a very seraphic smile, lo be sure, but notwithstanding its sardonic character there could be no mistaking it for a frown or a scowl of displeasure. With the grimace still irradiating his bloated features the desperado passed , behind the bar, and with a freedom pe I culiar to his loose habits, grasped the demijohn containing an unusually ardent article or lumberman s solace. Throw ing the jug deftly into the hollow of his right Jarm, he poured the yellow distill ment into a glass which he held in his left hand, allowing the liquid to mark four fingers before he threw the muzzle up and returned the demi j ohn to its shelf beneath the bar. He contemplated the contents of the glass for a moment, held it up to the light, smacked his lips in anticipation of the iov it was about to - confer upon him, and then placed the edge of the tumbler gingerly to his mouth as if he- would prolong the de light of feeling it trickle down his copper-plated throat into his sheet-iron stomach, t Inch by inch his ruby nose went upward, drop by drop the whisky flowed downward . The last globule had just passed between his teeth, when his hery reJ eyes, glancing through the intention to avoid hurting the poor fel- iow'd feelings so evident, that a man with perceptive faculties developed to any degree whatever wo aid have under stood the kindly motive. But the rash man at the stove must have been abnor mally obtuse, for he gurgled forth the exasperating reply : Ever sence those other roosters lit out.' 'What ! Dan's eyes were dilated with the intensity of his emotion. Wrath was taking the placa of pity. The little man made no reply, but rub bed his hands and held them, palms out ward, in front of the warm stove. 'Mebbe you wasn't payin' pertickler 'tention to w'at made em git up an' duBt.' It was a forced calmness that perme ated Dan's manner as he made this last remark. 'Didn't know but w'at ther was a dog fight or somethin' down the street.' 'Dog fight or somethin',' sneered Dan, reaching a' glass; 'mebbe yer not ac quainted 'ith me.' Who're you ? The man at the stove did not make this inquiry as if he had any particular desire to ascertain the identity of his interlocutor, tut gurgled it in a mechanical way, like a phono graph or an automatic talking machine. TmEel Biver Dan, stranger; an I'm bad.' If Dan imagined that this announce ment would discompose the vagrant he was mistaken. It had no more effect than so much wind, and the stranger did not evjn appear to notica the re mark. D've hear, you cadaverous galoot! I'm Eel Biver Dan, an I'm on it big- ger'n a wolf.' Thet's all right laiu't objectinV Tou ain't, eh ? Well, I don't s'pose ve be, an w'at's more I ain't intentlin' ye shell. Now look yar, stranger, ye say ye think it was a dog fight or some thin' thet clared this yar barroom a bit ago?' 'Somethin o thet kind I wasn't par tickerly anxious to hustle 'round an' find out-, anyhow.' rode j j b'lieve yer lyin, stranger; but afore ye I peroeed any fu'ther 'th your cise, I'll give ye the true bizness: them huskies slid out o this yar place a 'cause they saw me comin' in thet yar door cvar thar see the "door T . It's thar I reckon, answered the little man, who had turned his back to Jhe stove, but who did not take the trouble to resume his former position for the purpose of verifying the bad man's as sertion that a door absolutely existed in that particular side of the apart ment. 'Well, my consumptive friend, 'taint too late fur you to use thet same hole in the wall you'll be in time to hear how thet dog fight vou was speakin' about come out, mebbe, ef yer uncommonly lively.' Dsn't koer how it come out,' answer ed the hollow-cheeked individual in his most .woe-begone tone of voice. 'Don't, eh? Yer sure ye don't want to know w'ich dog licked ? 'Ain't bettin' a continental red on nary dog fight jest now, an' ain't a goin to nuther.' There was a ghost of empha sis in the latter portion of his speech, but it was almost wholly choked by the ffloomv sadness of the tone in which it was uttered. 'It's purtv rough, blamed ef it ain't, soliloquized Dan, edging around toward the end of the bar. I'd ez soon tackle a raft o' measley babies, but it's got down to a ground hog case, an' ef I don't do somethin' purty soon the boys U bekickin'mo from one end o the county to the other. It's got to be did. Ther's no help for it. I say, sickly, mebbe ye'd like to say a word or two afore it happens.' 'W'at happens? ; 'Why, w'at's goin' to happen w'en I turn loose. 'Ain't got nuthin' to say.' 'Any place, pertickler, ye'd like ter be hauled to srter tne matinee ? W'at matinee?' W'at matinee I The matinee thet's goin' to open up in about one minute by thet yar clock.' Don't know nuthin' 'bout it.' 'You'll know more'n you want to afore I git through ith vwn. Ain't got no wiping a frightful looking knife on his coat sleeve. Dr. Squills was of the opinion that if Dan could survive the wound under the fourth rib ha might, in the course of four or five months, bo able to leave his room. Dan did survive the wound un der his fourth rib, but nobody saw him leave his room. Dr. Squills was again appealed to, and gave it as his opinion that Eel Biver Dan, no longer the re doubtable Esl Biver Dan of yore, had left in the night. Be that as it may, he never troubled Pilot City again, although he must have been aware of the fact that Cheerio! Harry had returned to his pastoral pur suits in the mountains of Trinity. Argonaut. The Jfew "AMlMUtor." Bright and early Fn fesnor James K. P. Burlingame made his ippearanoe on several streets of Detroit. Yon would have known him to be a professor, even if you had seen him tangled up with the wheels of a butcher cart. That tall ping hat, carrying the stains of years that linen duster girted at the waist his long hair hanging jown to keep his shoulders warm was a dead give away on his title. The professor came lere to dispose of individual righto to us his 'Fly AnnihU later,' and he didn't let thoughts of the next Presidential election set him down on a bench. His piccolo voice inquired of a woman at the front door of a house on Congress street east: 'Madam, have you ten seconds to spare this morning ?' No. sir 1 was her prompt reply. 'Very well, then you will miss seeing my 'Fly Annihilator,' he remarked as he walked off. Thousands have missed it to their everlasting sorrow thousands have accepted it and been mado happy for life.' It's some kind o pizenl she called after him down the street. "Warranted free from all drugs cr chemicals dangerous to the human sys tem, and recommended to people trou bled with sleepliness,' he called out back as he briskly retraced hU steps.

Bonds. As the four per cents are objects of the latest interest in the monetary world, it may be interesting to give some idea of the labor on these bonds, and the time it takes to complete them in the depart ment. All of this work, of course, orig inates in the engraving room. The work on each plate is performed by several different engravers, one engraver doing only a part and then passing it to anoth er. When complete the plate is thorou gh ly examined by experts, and it found to do penect, oies are maae irom u ana ibo impression transferred to other plates, thereby avoiding much extra engraving. Assuming the plates to be on the press, it takes about eighteen to twenty days to perfect the printing of a bond from the time the blank sheet is first moisten ed until it goes to the register for the final signature. The moans operandi of printing these bonds is about as fol lows: The paper is first sent to the wet ting division, whence it goes in a damp condition to the press room to receive the back impreefcion; it is then placed in the dry box witjh a steam temperature of 160 degrees and the next day is again sent to tho wetting division, whence, after remaining over night, it goes to another preps room to receive the first face impression. It is then dried again and the next day is put through a by draulio prets of 200 tons. Thus dried and smoothed it goes to the surface seal ing room and another faoo impression ii printed, being the seal and number on each bond and coupon. It then goes to another room for the series number to be placed on each bond and coupon. After the printing has been completed tho bonds go to the examining division, where female examiners carefully fern tinize each bond, and all imperfect ones are laid aside and canceled immediate lv. As the work in each division is al ways examined bef ra it goes to its next division, defective bonds are seldom dis covered in the examining room. Bo per fect is the system of this work that an error t circely ever occurs either in the number of sheets of paper or anything else connected with the complicated work. When the bonds leave the print ing bureau they are not complete, but have to go through the loan division, and hava the secretary's seal impressed pressed on each; then, after having the initials of William Fletcher written on each seal, they are sent to the register for his seal and signature. All orders for these "bonds are drawn by the chief of the loan division. A Satire White Bace in Africa. Mjor Pinto, a Portuguese explorer of South Africa, who has recently returned, claims to have discovered an unknown race of white men in that country. In a lecture he said: 'I here made one of the moBt curious discoveries of my journey. I one day noticed that one of the carriers was a white man. He belonged to a race' entirely unknown up to the present day. A great white people exists in South Africa, t Their name is Caseequere; they are whiter than the Caucasians, and in place of hair have their heads covered with small tufts of very short wool. Their cheek-bones are prominent, their eyes like those of the Chinese., The men are extremely robust.
