A PLUCKY NEGRO.
Pathetic Story of the Days When Slavery
Flourished In Missouri. -
' Some queer things. . used to hap-,
pen in the old slave days in Missou
ri,". Baid Representative John Tars-"
ney.v "The condition of the slave
was never a very burdensome one in;.
Missouri.; The farm "oountry and the
nearness of the Iowa line prevented
anything like those plantation cruel--ties
of whiah we sometimes read. In
fact, I should judge that some of
the Missouri slaves had as good a
time as their masters. r ! i
'In illustration I might tell a
queer story whioh had its scene in
Independence, Mo. Old Banker Saw-!
yer of Independence carried on the
same Sawyer bank which exists to
day away back' in the fifties, when
Independence, as the eastern end of
the Santa Fe trail, was the great
outfitting point for thoseldaring and
misguided people who meditated a
flight across the. plains. Among
other chattels of Banker Sawyer was
a big black negro, named, Dustun.
Pustun was a great, mechanic and
had vast fame all over the western
country as the maker of that fashion
of wagon.' known as the 'prairie
schooner.' Sawyer had besides his
bank a wagon shop at Independence,
and his negro Dustun ran the wagon
shop. The wagon shop did a good
trade, and Sawyer said to Dustun
one day: ' - -. ' 1
" You mako a lot of money work
ing overtime, Dustun.. Why don t
you buy and own yoarself ? Why do
you1 continue in slavery? 'You've
got 1500 or. 1600 down in my bank
now.'. . - ' - j ti
M And it was true. Dustun had
aid up quite a little sum "of "money, !
and the fact of a slave with money
on deposit in the bank' of his master
is of itself illustrative of the lax
condition of the institution in Mis
souri.-' :i : - '!L:' " ;
'VWhat'll you take for me?' asked
Dustun. V M . -
" 'Seeing it's you, said' Sawyer,'
I'll sell out cheap. If you want to
buy yourself. I'll take $1,500, while
you're easily worth $3,000,' ,
"Dustun bought Tiimself, paid
1500 down and took the rest of him
self on credit. . Sawyer made out his
freedom papers, and Dustun made a
mortgage on himself toiSawyer for
the $1,000. Then he went to
work " In a year he ; had paid
himself free. In two years more
he bought his wife and little
girl.- . Then he began to make
money. But ho hadn't proceeded
far nor laid up much ahead when
one nignt a lire started, and the
next morning found Dustnn's wagon
shop in ashes. Shop, tools, stock
and everything was burned up as
clean . as a whistle- and with the
forethought o his race Dustun had
no insurance, -t'c--; i'f'';': . ;-: " -1
"It was a plain,' hard, hitter case
Of begin again ; with Dustun. He
thought the situation over and then
went to bis old master, Sawyer.
After ten minutes' talk Sawyer lent
Dustun $1,000 and took a mortgage
on his wife and young one. Dustun
rebuilt his shop and opened up anew.
He kept his old trade and added to it
It finally became very : unfashion
able to start across the plains in
anything but one of Dusjun's prairie
schooners. Within a year Dustun
again had a clear title to his wife
and family. ; ! i
"Life went" easy after that with
the old black wagon maker. He died
about ten years ago at Independence
worth fairly $50,000. The daughter
whom bo bought from Sawyer and
then mortgaged and cleared the 'title
to again was for a long time, and is,

" ' , WHAT TO EAT AND WHEN.
The Boles to Bea-olate Diet to Age aad
- Ooeupsvtion. - " .
An" adult in average - health , re-
anires. as a rule,, about three meaia
day, and5 these "inay be arranged
as follows: Breakfast at 8:30, luncn
at 1:30, dinner at 7.- ' ' ' . . -""' '
In country places, where dinner is
taken 4r-the middle of the day, a
light tea is taken at 5 and supper at
8, and when there. Ja late , dinner a
cup of tea may, aa a rule,: be-taken
without eating at 5 o'clock.
1 Tne tenaency in aauira is very
much toward overeating, for food is
not required in the adult body in or
der" to supply growth, but only to
support waste of tissue. It ia there
fore evident" that those who lead a
comparatively; idle - life - without
much exertion, . either i mental or
physical, require very muoh less
food than those who are engagea in
active occupations. ;
Business men who have: to be mov
ing about muoh in the middle of the
day -should not take heavy lunch-
Anna, but should make their chief
meal in the evening. .
The practioe of taking soup at the
beginning of dinner is based on a
snfficientlyJ scientifie - principle, aa
'when a small quantity of strong,
good soup is taken the liquid that is
rapidly absorbed into the blood re
freshes and stimulates and prepares
the way for more solid meals..
Sufferers from indigestion, how
ever, often nna mac xney cannot
take soup, and these ' shonld also
avoid i taking strong tea or s coffee
after dinner," as they retard . the
process of digestion. . ! : .
Some persons who have slow di
gestions do best with very; long in-.
tervals between their meats, others
need food more frequently, and if
they do not have it at fresquent in
tervals the appetita passes off and
they are unable to eat, and grow
weak. :' . ' ' ' . . '. '
As a rule, women require less food
than men,: as their bodies are Bmall-
er ana taey ao noii generally ieau
such active lives, but they very
often injure their health very much
, by living principally on tea and
toast.' cakes and other innutritions
artiolesof diet 'when they have, no
male relatives present to stimulate
them by the force of example into
taking more nourishing articles of
food. .- ;
Elderly persons of either sex are,
as a rule, unable to digest or assimi
late food in the same way as in their
younger days, owing to the pro
gressing degenerative changes in the
glands, and lessened absorbent power
in the alimentary canal. :
The amount of food taken at a
time should be small, and the inter
vals between meals . rather . short.
When, as in many cases, it is the
habit to awaken about 4 o'clock in
the morning, a little food, such as a
cup of cocoa or warm milk or beef
tea. will often insure sleep after
ward.
All farinaceous foods should be
submitted to high temperatures for
some time, so as to render the gran
ules of starch easy to digest, for
owing toLthe lessened activity of the
glands and lessened power of masti
cation the food in old people is, like.
that of young children, not sufficient-;

Little Jacky had two apples, which
he had saved from dessert. . There
was company in the room, and one
of the gentlemen thought it would
be a good opportunity to give Jaoky
a lesson in manners. So he called
the boy and said: ' f
VI see you have two apples, Jacky. 1

Jacky hesitated, looked rather rue-
fully at his prizes and finally offered
the smaller one. This was what the
gentleman had expected, and he pro
ceeded to expatiate upon , it, ending
with; - t
"Now, Jacky, Whenever you have
anything to give away you should
always keep the poorest, for your
self.':'' .. . -
This might be good manners, but
it didn't . harmonize with Jacky's
desires. -So he ruminated over it
awhile, and then stuck out 'the oth

had all been told. In fact, hasty gen-

are more easily bored, they have 1

Mozart had a memory for music and
for nothing else. On attending the papal
mass at the Sistme chapel he was great
ly impressed with the musical service .
and asked for a copy; but was told none
could be given him, as the music was"
not allowed to go oat - He went to the
next service, listened attentively, went
away and wrote down the whole from
memory. . When-" Don Giovanni' 'wsar
first performed, there was not time to
eppy a part for the harpsichord, so
Mozart ' conducted the entire ouera.

. DELICATESSEN SMACkS. f

smacking? If not,' they must have
acquired the habit soon after birth,:
or they -Would h6t be -able, to throw
so much unction into the smack as
they do when they are pointing out
the 'savory qualities 6f the .various
articles in the stores.! The delicates
sen ' man has a watery eye, a ru ui-
cund cheek and a mouth that seems
to taste everything he has for sale.
He takes a long carving knife in his
hand and delicately touohea with its
point a piece of boiled ham.
' Very good, - he say 8 oonflden-'
tially as he looks from you to the
ham. "The best ham l ever tasted.
(Smack.) Try a piece of this." .
He cuts off a thin slice some two
inches square, and as you put it into
your month he smaoks his lips to
give it a flavor and looks at you ex
pectantly with, his liquid i eyes..
Should you say you don'feare much1
about the ham he looks mildly hurt
and "digs up a piece of cheese from a
silvery covering," letting off a volley
of smacks as he does so. ; i
"Theret" he says, "that is a piece
of honeysuokle from age, . made
among the mountains of . Afghanis
tan, with a dash of the bouquet that
was so much in demand in Turkey
in the days of the great Ali Bey."
Smack.) - . -.
He says all . this with solemnity,
though you know he is inventing
the whole story.and gives you a piece
of cheese that curls up'the edge of
the cheese knife with its strength as
he smacks his lips and seems to
think you should be carried away by
the delicacy. You are almost, for it
is strong enough to carry away any
thing, and he sees that it is' not a
success. . . ; ' . J : -.-' - T '
But he is not beaten, for he brings
out pickles from half a dozen wood-
; en bowls, with an average of three
smacks for eaoh bowl, and hands the
samples to you in a saueerj request
ing you to "just taste that pickle,
and I'm sure you will1 say it is de
lirious. ". (Smack.) ! i '
The delicatessen man has a way of
saying "Delicious 1" that is almost
aa satisfying as a Delmonico feast,
and you know, when you taste the
pickle while he smacks ,his sympa
thy, that it cannot be as good as his
'Delicious!" j If
The pickle is really very pleasant,
and ' you buy a dime's worth of it,
while he smacks his way to the pile
Of paper in which to wrap the wood
en dish and smacks as he gives you
40 cents in change out of your half
dollar.
You take up your pickle, but the
delicatessen man has not done with
you yet. He smaoks over a highly
spioed jar of funny shaped fish and
then cunningly leads your attention
to some preserves, and some salad
dressing, and some aromatic vine
gar, and some fresh -L tomatoes, and
some particularly good coffee that
he has just bought that morning, as
he tells you, and, what with I the
whiffs of different things and mis
smaoks and his seductive talk,' by
the time you leave the store youf
arms are full of odd paokages and
he has that .first half dollar and an
other oneas well. . " 1:1
DUiavAQ jrvu . wu airoi uwu
and as you go out you say to your
self, "That delicatessen man is too
much for me." Of oourse he is. He
, is too much for anybody when he
knows his business and can put in
the smacks at the right moments.

' A Very Thirsty Dos;.
A yonng Wissahickon man, so the
tale goes, owned a dog of mongrel
breed . whiohliad : added to its. . one
great undesirable quality of low
birth the more offensive one of the
mange. The young pan determined
to sever, his oonnections with the
animal, and with that : end in view
he secured a large wash tub and put
staples in the inside of it, with ropes
attached to them, to securely hold
the dog and keep its head under wa
ter. : He caught the dog just aa it
eame in after a long tramp in the
dusty roads. , The doomed animal
was preparing to slake its thirst at
the hydrant when its master grab
bed it and. tied it down in the tub.
Then he turned ' on - the water and
let it run until the dog's head was
totally submerged. : He couldn't bear
to see the poor brute suffer, so he
went away for a quarter of an hour.
He came back, expecting to find the
dog dead. Strange to say, however.
the dog was very muoh alivo. There
was no water in the tub. Neither
was there any leak; in it The dog
bad simply quenched his thirst.'
