Any call fir hair dye over tlfre?"
'Haven t heard of au;but I might

"(loud for the blond."

"Yes, hut what use can you make of

"Never you mind, but put me. up atnut

MISSOURIANS MEET IN AFRICA-
Hut Wa LaI. Selree anJ the Other a Negro
MurJerer I'clurnei to liartarism.
Ilcie i.s a good .Missotiti story, which
possesses not only tbe merit of being
absolutely true, but the additional one of
never having appeared in print. Its nu
thenticity is vouched for by otic of the
most accurately informed and widely
known public men iu the State:
An elder brother of Frank 1. Scbrce
of Kansas City is ('apt. Uriel Sebrcc, a
distinguished officer of tbe United States
Navy. Tile Sobree boys are the sons of
the late Judge John Sebree, who in his
day was one of the prominent citizens of
old Howard county "the mother if
Missouri statesmen." Hack in the catly
seventies Capl. Sebree, then a Lieutenant
was eoastiog with his vessel along western
Africa and east auchor one day at a small
village for the purpose uf takiug oil a
supply of fresh water and vegetable.-,
lie soon observed among the nalives,who
were engaged in bringing the supplies
onboard, a negro who spoke the Knglish
language very plainly, although lie wore
the garb and had the appearance of a
native. Lieutenant Scbrce walked up
to hiui on the deck and said: "I notice
you speak the Knglish language; where
did you liarn il?"
"In the United States, sir. I waB
born in that country."
"Horn iu the United States what
State?"
"Missouri, sir."
Sebree bad become thoroughly inter
ested.
"What county in Missouri did you
come from?" he asked.
"From Howard county, sir. I was
there, near a town called Fayette," was
the reply.
"When did you leave there?"
"Iu ISfiU, sir."
Light began to diwu upon the Luu
tenant. Ile looked at the negro closely
and, although m my years had passed, lie
recognized in the apparently wild barbarian
of Africa, the breech-ciouicd savage, a
boy he had known in his childhood. In
ISliO an atrocious murder tiad been per
petrated in llowaid county a murder
such as was sometimes, though not often,
cammitted iu the South before the war
a negro killed his master iu cold blood.
icarch wai at once begun for the assas-
siu and every effort made to apprehend
liiui, tiut ho escaped to Canada, and, t lie
war, beginning shortly thereafter, all
trace of him luetme lost. It all cuuie
back lo Sebree like a levelatiou. Here,
then, was the murderer, after ull the long
yeirs. He was fully rcejgniz.id by the
Lieutenant, who decided, however, not
to allude to tbe crime, but agaiu his ques
tions. "So yuu lived near Fayette. Did you
know Judge Sebree, who lived there?"
It was uow the uegro's turn to be sur
prised. 1 F o' 0 id, man, who is you, any -how?"
"I am the little b ey tint you used to
play with Uriel Sebree dou'l you re
member me, S un? '
They sat down on the deck of the
ship the poli'hcd and gentlemanly offi
cer of ihe United Stales Navy and the
wild and almost naked sivagc-aud talked
over the days of their boyhood in laraway
Missouri. No allusion was nude by
either lo the tragedy thai hid cause) one
to leave his native land and become a
barbariau. Old friends were spoken of
aud the uegro made uiauy inquiries about
those he had known iu bis voting duvs.
At last, as the sin went down, they
parted, tbe negro going ashore to his
hut. Ile told Lieut Sebree that h
would reiurn the uexi day aud biiug
with him aotne presents that he would
like to have taken to some of his eld
Iriends io Howard county; but he didn't
come back, and (hat was the last of turn.
He evidently had become suspicious aud
feared being kiduipped and carried biek
to Aii.enea to be tiled for Ins ctitui
Jcff'ison County Ttibune,

IN tho While ().ik neighborhood, near
(ircenup, Ky., lived a comely widow,
Mrs, Martha lierry, aged about IH, and
her pretty daughter, Matilda, who has
just entered her eighteenth year. In
(tie same tieighoihood lived Johnson
Whitley, a prosperous farmer of Ull, and
a widower. Whitley had been paying
ut 1 1 ul ion to Mrs. Berry's daughter for
the last six months, and it was generally
supposed thraughout ihe neighborhood
that they would be married soon. The
mother, however, would not give her
consent to the match, but stie did not
object to ttio young widower's calls. He
plead with the widow for the hand of to r
daughter all to no purpose, and the young
people decided ou an elopement
An the ariangcmcuts were made for
the clandestine leave-taking, but the
watchful mother discovered what was on
foot, and on Friday night, ihe lime set
for the elopenieut, she went to her
daughter's room shorily alter dark and
bound tlie girl blind and foot. She also
tied a gag in her mouth and took tier to
her own room and tied her to the bed.
She then returned to the daughter's room
and when Whiiley came to steal away his
lady love tlie widow answered the sum
inous, aud without speaking a wordi
joined tlie young man in tlie yard. He
assisted her into his buggy and drove
with her to Grayson, tlie county scat of
Carter county, where he hail arranged
with Judge Morris to perform tlie cere
mony. Whitley was struck by the silence of
his companion, but as she leaned con
fidingly on tiis arm and appeared to be
sobbing all the lime, he could do nothing
re than caress her now aud then and
cheer tier up by telling her that her
mother would forgive her. He had no
Jea that he was carryiug off the mother
instead ul lite daughter, and il was not
until after tlie ceremony was perfumed on
e judge's front porch and they bad
paired to a hotel that the deception
was discovered by Hhillt",. lie was
liimfoiinili'd, but realizing that he was
the hiisbuud of his sweetheart's mother
Ile coiicluded tu make the best of what
appeared to be a bad bargain. To a
neighbor he said thai although he
thought we was dead in love with M itil.la
always did think a great deal of her
handsome mother.
M iiildn was discovered bound iu lit I
.tiler's room by a neighbor tho next
mortiiug, and when she learned of the
trick her mother had played her she look
the matter philosophically, and said that
while she thought she loved Mr .Whiiley
she is now sati-lied that she did not. She
proinis' s to be a dutiful daughter to him.

"LOOK INDIAN',' I'Olt I'I
W lieu you drop a small object on tlie

Somebody dropped a slick pin in the

find it. She hunted high and low, and

but it was no use. 1 he pin w is very
