This happened in a little ' town in
Southern Illinois not many days ago.
It U in a section where the Farmers'
Alliance h stroll;,', and n lo!p of that
qraniatinn cxi.'ts in the town. Ihey
meet Monday nights.
There is only one lodnc room in the
to .vn, and on Tiies-day nights it is oeeupied
by the local branch of the Knights of
Pythias.
The president of one of the country
sub-Alliances came to town one Tuesday.
He had visited the town Alliance, and
t. '
wheu he saw lights in the lodge room
concluded he would go over and condole
with the brethren over the defeat of
Buchanan. - v
He gave the proper knock at the
outer door. The wicket was raised and
an car was placed at it to hear the pass
word.
"I plough, I hoe. I spade," whispered
the Alliance man.
The ear was replaced by an eye, and it
in turn gave place to a mouth, which
whispered in reply :
"The h 1 you do," and the wicket
dropped with a bang.
The indignant farmer shortly after
ward met a "brother," to whom he told
his tale of woe.
"Why, dad blame it," was the sharp
comment of the brother, "them's Knights
of Pythias, and you've given 'em our
password."
"Dogged if I ain't," was the response,
"but (brightening up) "durn 'cm, I've
got theirs."
HARD OX TIItiKOYS.
Some of the ladins of Arkansas City
have organized a female prohibition
society. The members pledge themselves
not to associate with or entertain young
wen who use tobacco, liquor, play cards,
or have other bad habits. The young
ladies have issued cards summarizing
their war agaimst these vices as follows :
The man who drinks the red red wine,
Can never glue his lips of mine.
The man who chews the nasty plug,
Will in our parlor get no hug.
Who smokes or drinks or cuts a deck
Can never bite us on the neck.
So don't you monkey with the cards,
Or we can never more be pards.
The man who guzzles lagor beer,
Can never, never chew my far.
Drink nothing stronger thau red pop,
Or in your lap we'll never flop.
The man who smokes a cigarette,
Cn never get a squeeze, you bet.
If the young ladies of this town
would organize a similar club and adopt
the same kind of rules, they wouldn't
have a beau until the new generation
comes in. Humboldt (Arkansas) Her

It is s.tid that there is a tribe in cen
tral Africa who have n horror of being
talked to death, atid compel their public
speakers to stand on one foot while do
livering a speech, and to speak ouly so
long a? th'y can uiaiutaiu their ono foot

coition and beatin" around the

of our deliberative assemblies, but the
dcliberators would hardly stand it.
To the excruciating pains of neuralgia

Mr. Chas. E. Norris, Bee Camp, Ind.,
writes: "I had such a sevoro attack of

quested to use Salvation Oil and must
say, I obtained instant relief."

ESIHA, AN ESQUIMAUX, PALLS UNCON
SCIOUS AT THE SIGHT OF A COLORED
MAN.
In Labrador they . have no Wagner
cars and consequently no Wagner porters.
Neither do they have barbershops. The
game of policy is unknown. It is too
cold for white vesU Estba, having
grown to plump maidenhood, had never
seen any colored people. Kstha is the
Esquimau girl brought all the way to
Chicago to live in a sealskin tent at the
World's fair grounds. The other day
she was sitting on a bearskin, rug, enjoy
ing the icy breeze that came in under
the flap.
While she was thus engaged a colored
gentleman with fur on his coat went into
the special exhibit to see the people from
the north pole. He asked an attendant
if he could look into one of the houses.
The attendant said: "Sure." The col
ored gentleman ducked his head and
crawled in, coming face to face with Eatha
of the round and buttory face.
There was a shriek of mortal terror
and a colored man came scrambling out.
They found Kstha in a dead faint. After
she had partially recovered she beeuine
hysterical, weeping and shivering and
talking hot Esquimau to the excited
little natives who gathered about her.
In Labrador she had never seen an ebony.
fShe thought the innocent man with Cur
on his coat was Satan.
In tbe last stages of consumption, when
tubercles have formed, and tho disinte

reliable remedy, promotes easy expectora

the patient.

ONE OP DEPEWS STOKIES.
One of Chauncey M. Depew's political
stories is as follow: The teacher of the
district school up at Pcckskill called up
the three brightest boys iu his class ons
day and said :
'Tom, you are a Republican?" "Tei
sir."
"And, Jim, you are a Prohibitionist? '
"Yes Mr."
"And, Sain, you are a Democrat?'
"Yes sir."
"Well, now, the one of you that can
give ait the best reason why he belongs
to his party can have the woodchuck I
caught on my way to febool this worn'
ing. Now, Tom, why are you a Repub
lican?" "I am a Republican, ' said ' the
boy, "because the Republican party saved
the country in the war, abolished slavery
and brought about the resumption of
specie payments and has done everything
for the good of the country."
"That's very good," said the teacher.
"I am a Prohibitionist," said the Pro
hihition hoy glibly, "because rum is fill
inir the iaiis and fillins; th. poor houses
and ultimately it will ruin tlm country
and if wo could have prohibition wo
would not neod any prison or poorhouses,
Kvuijbuily would b" " "f-"
"Now what is the runnou you ar
Democrat, Sam?"
"Well, sir," was the reply, "I aiu u
Democrat because I want the woodchuck."

'Gen. Grant once interfered in a uiest
unwarranted and arbitrary manner with a
poker name lhat was paying mo a big
profit," said Andrew Danner, one of the
old vets who were fighting the war over
a";ain in tho comdersof the Lindell. "It
was shortly after the battle of'Shilob, atid
we Conftds were feelingpretty badly
down in the mouth. I was on the ad
vanced picket line one bright moouiigbt
night, and the Yanks had a post only a
few hundred yards away. We shot at
each other until we got tired of the spoit,
thon we swapped newspapers, coffee and
tobacco. A daredevil young Yankee
corporal walked right into our post, ml
down on a log as unconcerned as you
please and asked us if we knew how to
play draw poker. Did we ? We rather
thought we did. Had we any green
backs? A few. Then he pulled out a
deck of cards, and we sat down to pla
Protty soon another Yank came ovu
then another, until there were six of 'cm
and we all joined in and played a wid.
open game, forgetting that the cruel wai
was not over. Luck came my way and
I soon had everybody but the Yankee
Corporal broke. The rest were squatted
around, blue and gray, watching the
game, when there came that ugly "click-ick-ick'
so familiar to the soldier's car.
We looked up, and there stood a Yankee
Sergent with 4 men with muskets cocked.
Members of the Forty-ninth, consider
yourselves under arrest,' said the Ser
geant. 'Oh, come, now, Sergeant,' the
Corporal began, when a horseman reined
up behind the guard, and he concluded:
Gen. Grant, by hoky.'
"The blueeoats got up looking like a
lot of whipped school boys and saluted
their commander, who eyed them as stern
ly as a sphinx. They filed in front of
the guard and started for camp. When
their backs were turned on him Grant
removed the cigar from his mouth and,
with a cynical smile, asked tho Confed
erate nearest him: 'Who's ahead?' 'Oh,
we're ahead,' replied the defender of the
stars and bars. 'Those chumps you've
brought down here can't play poker a
little bit. But they can fiht, General,
I remarked. 'Have to sometimes,' said
Graut, dryly, and rode away."
DIDN'T TAKE QUITE ALL.
Senator Carlisle is comparatively a
poor man. tie was never able to save
money and the pay of a cabinet officer,
$8,000 pays about one third the expenses
of the secretary of the treasury. When
Senator Lam ir, who had just married a
young wife, was appointed Secretary of
the Interior by Mr. Cleveland his bride
spent a week house hunting, and finally
found what seemed to hi a suitab'e
residence for a cabinet officer. She drove
to the senate, of which Mr Lamar was
still a member, to tell her husband the
news of her discovery. His first question
was :
"What is the rent, dear ?"
"Seventy-five huudred a year."
The senator lapsed into deep thought
and tho young wife said, rather nervous
'.v: "Do you think it extravagant ?"
"It is uot that," returned Laninr,
slowly. "I was wandering what I should
do wiih the other S.VlO of my sa'ary."
