No speck or dirt on them is seen
To mar your linen's glossy sheen;
Your woolen dress that was so soiled,

This fine old lace is firm and white;
Your silk hose keep their colors brbht;
Your shawl, your gloves, arc spotless, too;
That old print gown seems really new!

HIS A1I9KNCB CAUSKH MOHB TItOUllt.i:
7 11 an inn rmKNCK.
Thrro Ih a uettVni ai?o of that play
ful nrsohlovous atiimtl, tlin boy, when
a lioniu is thought to bu raado pieaannt
cr for his nlwenco.
Deacon E."kcil Croft and hU wife,
"Aunt jM'iry," as overybody called liur,
were about to ui jiy tliu felicity of a
hou-e, iirnus "tl.nt LojV' for Tom,
their noisy nephew, had roiio to spend
a whole fortnight at Sandwic'' among
tho rlavblowcr and rat'dpipers.
"What a rest it will b I" fu'glied
Aunt Mary, remembering Tom's hob
nailed frbocs and dreadful appetite s
and tho young profoflor, who was
boarding with them, "thanked hi
start' y their Latin natuc that at
last ho could "havo a littlo peace."
It was just supper time, and tho
three sat down to a bountiful country
table. Aunt Mary, by forco of habit,
had phced four ohairn, but ono was
vacant, and tho panne uliiuli followed
tlio lilesing wai somewhat awkward.
As a general thing Aunt Stary look
rd over at Tom immediately and said:
"Tom, tako your elbow oil tho table,"
O" "Tom, where U your napkin? I do
wish that I could ever teieh you man
ners at the tAbbl"
"Undo 'Z kiol," was apt to ask as
soon as there was a paue: "Tom, did
you como right home from school and
do tho ehorwrt" And if as sometimes
happened Tom could answer in bis
off hand way: "Ye?, sir, all done,'' then
Uncle 'Zekiel would ponder darkly for
a few minute, finally coming out with:
"Tom, how many boys did you tako
down to the cider-mill a week ago
lant Satu-dayf' or something similar.
Then while Uuolo 'Zukiel was sum
moning up the evil deeds of departed
Saturdays, tho professor found his op
portunity. " 'Hadn't ought,' as I havo often
told 5'ou, Mister Tom, U entirely con
trary to tho genius of tho English lan
guage "Ought not' is tho correct ex
pression,'' ho would add, with a school
master's didactic air.
By this time, in spite of his various
sins, Tom, going on with undiminished
appetite, had worked bis way to about
tho sixth biscuit.
"Ineveil" Aunt Miry would eay as
he took it. "You'll cfrtainly havo the
dyspepsy, Tom "
"No, Aunt Mary,'' Tom would an
swer, his go.l humor as iirepro siblo
as his apnotite. "I'm safe up to leu ;
ten's my limit never go over''
So, at this first Flipper, it is not
J strange that thrrn was a sudden sil
ence, sinc the unfailing subjec and
object of conversation was absent.
Filially Undo 'Zekiel spoke, looking
over at the vaoint place again.
"Seems kinder lop-sided an' lonesome
without Tom, after all.
.Now, I guess it will bo a happy
'lonrsoui"' for tho next two weeks," re
plied Aunt Mary. "I should liko to
iiave a chanco to 'hear myself think'
oncH in awhile."
Aunt Mary had an opportunity to
"hear herpelf think all that evening.
There was no one to upset her nerves
by sudden hand spiing popping corn,
cracking nuts or munching apples
while ho pretended to study. lint,
somehow, her quiet thinking seemed n
filiguing oncration, for, weary and a
littlo dispirited in appearance, at half
past ciaht he rolled up her knitting
work and re'ired for tho night.
Neither thoughts nor di earns dis
turbed her until in the early twilight of
tho next morning a voice penetrated
tho mist of slumber land, calling:
"Tom! T 0-0 ml Come. Tom!" And
looking out she saw her husbmd stand
ng at tho foil of the luck stairs, call
ing with all hi-might: "Get up, Tom!
Timo to mako the kitchon fire, Tom!
(Joine! Uome! T-o ml Don l ue a
sluggard!
"Early to lied and early to rise,
Mhltes a boy healthy, wealthy and wise."
"Why. 'Zekiel Uroft," called out
Aitiit Mary, in astonishment, "bo you
clean cone oil vour mind tit's morn
iiiE? Don't you remember that that
boy's gotio to Sindwicht"
"Well, I declare," Paid Undo 'Ze
kiel, sinking down into a pplintbot
touted kitchen chair, and laughing nn
til his Int. Biiles shook. "I never
thought a word about it! I'm so used
to cetlin' that, b y up in tho morniti'
that 1 don t know how to begin tho
lav without it. I'll mako tho
fire
right away.'"
"No, A 'kiei, sanl Aunt Alary.
"I'll
make the firo and jou go out to
tho
barn atxl do i 11m s chores.
She dressed herself rather hastily
ind not unite so neatly as was her
hsbit, and hurried out into tnu kitchen,
There was no kindling woo 1 toady as
was usual no one had th iiu'lil of that
and, taking a baidcet, bIio went out
to tho great wood pile and gathered a
fuw chips, so damp lrom tho morning
dew that it was sometuno beforo the
feeble, firo could be coaxed into a blaze
hot enough lor cookiiig the morning
meal.
Hut breakfast had boon ready agood
half hour, and after blowing tlio horn
vigorously twico, she wis just on the
point of going down to tho birn to see
what had uappenoii, wnen Deacon
Croft appeared in amot woful plight,

and meandering slowly aloup his
sleeves and Irousers; he was dripping
wet. from head to loot, and thu pai
was empty.
" 'Zekiel Croft,'' cried Aunt Mary,
with uplifted bunds, "what hev you
donet
"Well, Mary," taid he, looking
her with a tno'st and milky smile,
ham t dono very much, but tho cow
she's done sontid'able,'' and he laugh
od heartily.
"Y see, Mary, she ain't used to me,
and she kinder objected to my milkin
hev, an I hed to smooili nor down con
eid'abln beforo she'd let 1110 begin, An1
then I took Tom's milkin' stool, an'
ain't quito slim as I was once.
"I felt it kiud'r teettnn undrr mo
two or three times, but I thought I
set rutlitr light t n it an' get through
but lest os 1 wus com to niovo th

say'i a mi!U,uatirs good

lian'some husband after this.''
"Ilan'somo or not, 'Z-jkiel Croft, do
you go an' change your clothes this
minute, or you'll hnvo your death-oold.
Seems as if every thing goes wrong
this morning somehow."
"So it doc," Baid Undo 'Zekiel.
giving a backward glanou as ho walk
ed off, and then turning fairly around:
"Mary," said he, "I' o inado a dis
covery. Tom's a pretty handy boy to
have around monilu's."
"I guess you'd thought so if you'd
seun mo picking up wet chips for kind-dliu'-wood,"
sighed Aunt Alary.
"Therel I did forget it, after all,"
said Undo 'Z-kiel, regretfully. "Tom
told ine the very last thing to bo sure
an' not forget Aunt Mary's kmdlin'
wood. Tbat boy must step 'round
pretty lively mo.iiiii's to get through
beforo school, an' I never thought ho
1
id any thing either!
Don't seem to,
somehow.
At last they gathered around tho
ueakfist table, an hour late. It was
ent. like tho supper of tho night
before, nnd other Bllent meals succeed-
it.
'I don't know what in the wotld I'm
goin to do about tho pieces, saiu
Aunt Mary, oomplainingly. Tom had
been gono six days. "There's pieces
of pie wo'vo left settin' all down one
t the pantry shelves, and there s mat
ir of cookiesl Its full yet, and it
on't last any tlnw when 'loin's home.
He's worth a sight to cat up tho pieces,
anyway, lioats all now mat, uoy enjoys
entin .
Soem as though wo don t eat any
thing,'' sho said again that evening as
he looked around tho supper tame
iseoatenttdly.
The professor had already foldud his
napkin, and was looking through his
glasses straight before hitn with a
serious air.
Isn't theto any thing moro that you
would likoV fhu asked, turning to
him.
I'hank you, no," ho replied. "I
was just thinking," lin added, rather
primly, "as I looked at the empty
uh(c. that nature abhors a vacuum,
and it would bo rather pleasant to have
Tom s merry face opposite me.
Twould bo a great thing tor 1110
cookies and pics, anyway," remarked
Uncle 'Zikiel, "They're just spilin
for him, to say nothing of tho eveuin'
chores," and he walked out heavily to
able tho horse, lock up the barn and
split tho kindling.
About eight o'clock that evening mey
all gathered in tho old-fashioned Bit
ting room, around the cheertui open
lire, for the evening was cool. The
professor sat at his own littlo table,
writing a very learm d article on "Tho
Uighei rvlneations' Aunt jnary was
knitting on a warm and cozy-looking
rel mitten not a very large ono and
Undo Zekiel was busy trying to lind
out from the columns of the village pa.
per which party was going to save tho
country in the coming elections.
It was periectly "quiet, ana mey
were enioving "peaoo. Not a sound
broko tho silence until a cricket, think
ing i'self alone, came out on tho hearth
and chirped a little.
"There," said Aunt Mary, "I'm
thankful to hear something. Seems as
f we re having a funeral hero now
adays."
Undo Z'Jkiel looked over tho top ot
the paper and caught her furtively
wiping away a tear.
"Mow, now, alary, that 11 never do,
said he, soothingly. "What 8 gono
wrong to-day?"
"Oil, I don't know what is tho mat-
tor," she replied. "Perhaps I'm nerv
ous, lint it s dreadful lonesome.
Uncle 'Zekiel aiose, and laying aside
tne papor, walked up and down the
room with his hands clasped behind
him, as ho was in tho habit of doing
when meditating auy serious project,
such as guiiig into town or running
down to the beach lor a day or two.
"Miry, said he, after a few turns,
I'm going into 15 iston to-morrow on
eomo business, an' I guess I'd better
run down to Sandwiuh an bnug that
boy homo with me next day."
Aunt Mary s laco went, tnrougn a
kaltidoscopiu change, and came out
beaming liko a full moon.
'That s tho very b.st thing you can
do, 'Zekiel," said she. "Bring him
right homo to morr afternoon, and
1 11 have just tho best supper for bun.
cms as it I'd been living lor tun last
woek in a kind of deaf and dumb
asylum."
The professor looked up from his
learned theme with a gratified air.
"Yes" said ho, with his character
istic primness of expression, "it would
ndeed be exceedingly agreeable to si?o
Master Tom's beaming countenaucu
onco moro at our evening lepast.
Uut Tom! What a delighttul time ho
was having at Sandwich) Nobody said
'Don I to him from morning until
night. He had often thought that had
tin been tho author of that famous little
volume "Don't," and founded it on his
own expenonce, it would uavo been as
argo as the Unabndgod Dictionary.
lie took such deep, full breaths ot
freedom with no ono to criticiso every
movement.
Mr. Saunders, whose son Tom was
voting, was a glass-blowing plnlos
opher, perfectly devoted to his calling,
a department winch gave mm irequeut
opportunities for that meditation which
ail philosophers love, lie boliovcd that
children had altogether loo much prun
ing and nagging, and used to say to
Aleck, his eldest boy: "Look hero,
Aleck, you do what you think is ubiuit
right to day, and it you mako any mis
takes, come to me and wc will see
what wo can do about it."
The plau seemed to have worked
well bo far, but thou Aleck Saunders
was a remarkably good boy naturally,
and needed utile pruning.
On tho Fiday ot Undo 'Zekiera un
expected advent, the two boys had been
nil over the glass works, it was one
of Mr. Saunders' leisure days, and in
stead of "philosophizing, he went
over tho works with them, explaining
evorv nro:ess, and Tom had been ai
lowed to blow something that came out
looking like tho "misiing link ' between
a cow nnd en eiepnant.
He had iust coma out, his drow
curls all blown about by tho salt sea
breeze, and was proutllydlsplaying this
nondescript animal to Mrs. Saunders
and the children when Undo Zekiel
opunoil tho gate,
Down dropped tho glaw memento
shivering into fragments, while Tom
flew down the walk to uitfct hi unci
, "Oh, Uncle, 'Zcklell" ho cried, oatch
ing hold of his brown hand, "is any
thing tho matter with Aunt Marjt"
Tom had no mother and ho loved
Aunt Mary dearly in spito of her fault
finding, "Yea,', replied Undo 'Zekiel, witli a
cheerful nlr, "she's pretty bad,"
"What is it'" asked Tom, anxiously.
"Well," replied Undo Zekiel, "I dont
exactly know tho natne'of tho disease,
but-the symptims is that sho's 'dreadful
lonesomo' without tho company of a
cot ting boy called Thomas Jefferson
Cro't."
"You don't moan it, Uncle," cried
Tom, with an air of incredulity.
'' 'Mean ill' Sho says thu house is
liko a deaf-and-dumb asylum, and tho
can't stand it nohow, so I bed to come
down after you.
Tom's lips quivered, and two groat
tears gathered in hts eyes and glistened
nn his cheeks liko shining diamonds,
lie threw his arms around Undo 'Zek
lel's neok and gavo him a good hug.
"Uncle," said he, "I never was so
happy in ray life! I thought I was
nothing but a bother to her," and (hen
dished off behind tho house, that no
ono might see tho tears ho could not
repress. Then ho sat down upon a
stone, wiped his eyes and gave up his
dark sobomcs of going AVest just as
soon as he was old enough.
They went home tho next afternoon,
and wnat a supper Aunt Mary bad for
them. Fried chicken and hot buiscuits
buible the usual quantity Tom's
favorite strawberry preserves, cookies,
jelly-cake, and a crisp apple "turn-ovi-i"
laid right by Tom's plate.
Tin t were all very gay and happy
together, as Tom ate with undiminish
ed nppetito and related the advooturoa
of the week.
Aunt Mary looked around with a
beaming face.
"Well,'' said she, as they eat back
from the table, "this is something like
livin' again. I should hev had dys
pepsy myself in another week."
"Yes," said tho you tg professor,
"while thcro is often a serious incom
patibility between youth and maturity,
yet it must bj confessed that tho pres
ence of t:io young at tho festal board is
ext einn'.y exhilarating."
Uut "that boy" Tom jumped up so
hastily that his chair fell back with a
loud cMck nobody Baid "Don't, Tom,"
nnd then he wont around to Aunt
Mary's chair, leaned over and softly
ki-o 1 her faded cheek. I'm so glad to

Sanbertson belonged to tho United
States infantry, which was part of
General Custer's command in ins cam
paign againt-t the Indians in 18G9. He
participated in mauy of tho engage
ments of that campaign, the most im
portant of which was the fight with
the c-lebrated Black Kettle's band on
tho Ouachita. It was in this fight
that Sanbertson was wonndod and
Kcalpf d by the Indians, and I remember
that nearly all of tho old frontiersmen
said that he was tho only person they
ever know up to that time who had
been thoroughly and unmistakably
pcilped and lived to tell of it.
Forsomo days beforo the meeting
w.th Black Kettle, Custer's scouts had
l 'en bringing in reports that the wily
chiof was camped somewhere on the
Ouachita, and that he was sending out
predatory bands of his warriors to
plunder settlers and immigrant trains,
v 'inter decided to hunt him up and
punish him. The infantry was two
miles in advance of the cavalry, whon
one day, just at daylight, it camo iu
sightor tho cnemy'B camp.
"Wo wero on a high hill overlook
ing tho valloy," Sanbertson said, in
giving the account of lite affair, "and
tho Indians werobolow. It was in the
middle of tho winter and the snow was
deep. The Indian camp was in a
tocky spot, and as tho women and
children wero thero it was evidently
th i headquarters of tho band. It was
determined to surprise the village, and
a portion of our command was sent
through tlio woods to the right to
get lu the rear of tho camp, whilo tho
remainder advanced quietly down tho
mountain, from the top ot which a
good trail led to tho valley through the
thick woods. This maneuvering was
successful that beforo our presence was

and we began the attack. Firing bo-

and this caused what at first promised
to be a panic among tho Indians that
would mako our victory an easy one,
but suddenly an Indian ot enormous

His yell could be heard above every

wbolo situation. In less than two
minutes every Indian was in position

Kcttto poemcd to bo everywhere. His
hideous presence prolonged tho fight,
lie held his wan tors to tho ground,
and tho women aud oven tho children,
took p irt in it, and among the dead
that soon strowed tho snow, squaws
anil papooses wero mingled. In a lew
minutes tho snow for rods around was
dyed as red w ith the blood from tho
dead and wounded as the paint on
Black Kettlo's face.
"In a hand to hand light like this of
oourso it was every man for himself,
and I soon found myself on the edge
of tbo ounp firing, and bayoneting,
and clubbing my gun just as tho situa
tion for tho ni'unent required. A mess
mate of mine who was lighting by my
side was killed by an Indian who fired
from behind n tent, and ho fell so I
was obliged to step over him. As I
did that a ball shattered my nrm at the
elbow, and it fell helplessly at ray side.
Immediately following that shot a big
Indian, doubtless thu ono who had kill
ed ray messmate, sprang from behind
tho tent and rushed at me with his
tomahawk raised. My gun was empty,
and ray left hand being uaelo s I could
not load. I would havo run ray bayo
net through the advancing Indian,
though, beforo he could have used his
tomahawk on rac, but an Indian
woman had stolen up behind me, and
she threw ono arm abiut my neck
and jerked mo backward in tho snow.
"None of our men wero near me as
the thickest part of tho tight was in an
other part of tho camp. Tho big
Indian who had como at me with his
tomahawk seemed to be also the only
warrior of this band who was not in
the gonoral engagement. Tho squaw
who had jerked mo down in tho snow
held mo there by my hair, and a lot of
other squaws and children came swarm
ing from tents in all directions to the
spot. They surrounded me, spit in my
face, jumped on my body, kicked me,
pinched me, thrust the points of knife
blades in my flesh, and tortured mo in
every way they could think of. Be
sides, my arm was paining mo tremen
dously and dyeing tho snow all around
mo with blood that flowed from tho
wound. The big Indian stood by
with a tomahawk in his hand, and
fortunately for me, ho gavo tho women
and their young devils too much timo
to havo their sport with me, for sud
denly there came the sound of a gun
nearby, and two sqtuws fell dead in
the snow by my side. Ono of our
boys had discovered my situation.
Tho other Bquawi and their young
ones scampered away, Dut tho big
Indian was determined to run tho risk
of getting my scalp any way, and he
pounced down on mo with his knees
on my chest, drew his knife, aud the
next second although it seemed hours
to rae, the top of my head waS in his
hand, and ho was gone.
" Imagine boiiib one wdio hates you
with tho utmost intensity," Sanbertson
said, iu describing the Bensation ot
Bcalping, "and lie suddenly grabbing a
handful of your hair, whilo you aro
lying prostrate and helpless, and giv-
ing it a qutCK upward lent wun iorce
enough to almost loosen tho scalp j
then, while this painful tension is not
relaxed, imagine tho noVparticularly
sharp blade of a knifo beiug run quiok
ly iu a circle around your scalp with
sawing- liko motiou. Then let your
imagination grasp, if it can, tho effect
mat, a strong, quion jerK 011 mo wit 01
hair to release tho scalp from any
clinging particles of flesh that may
still hold it in place, would nave on
vour nerves and physical system, and
you will havo an inklingof how it feels
to be Boalped. When that Indian saw
ed his knifo around the top of ray head,
first a seuso of numbness prevaded my
whole body. This was quickly follow
ed by a flash of pain that started at
my feet and ran like an electrio Bhouk
to ray braiu. Tbo sonsation was but
momentary, but it was terrible. When
the Indian tore mv scalp from my
head it soomed as if it must havo been
connected witbjeords to every part of my
body. Thepam that followed tho cut
ting around tho scalp had been frightful,
but it was ocstaoy compared to mo tor
ture that followed tho tearing of it
from my head. Flashes of pain shot
to overy nerve. My knees wore drawn
up almost to my cmn, ana itio lingers
of my right hand closed convulsively
in the snow, those of my left hand be
ing powerless owing to the shattered
arm. That was all I remembered.
When I came to I was iu a tout. Tho
oavalry bad come up in the meantime,
and tlio Indiaus wero routed. Only a
fowesoaped, but Black Kettle was
among tho few."
Sanbertson lav for weeks iu tho Gov
ernment hospital at Fort .Laramie per
fectly helpUss and sufloring untold
agony. He finally reoovnrocl and in
tho nioatilimo his term of enlistment
expired. He had no do ire to re-enter
tho service, and Gonoral Custer jocular
ly remarked to him that ho made a
mistake in quilting tho service. "lor
think, e.vd tho General, "how surpris
ed and disgust?d sime rol devil of an
Indian might do it you should stay
with us and happen to fall in his
hands whon ho went to raise your hair
to find that soma ono else had been

First Experience in a Sleeping Oar.
"I seo somo queer things while
knocking aroend the county," said a
traveling mau yesterday, "and ono of
tho funniost circumstances that I can
recall happened last Friday night. I
was running up thu Milwaukee Itoad
a fow hundred miles, and when I left
Sioux City my only fellow passengers
were an old man and his wife, who oc
cupied the lower boction across from
mo. Thoy had their berth made up
early and soon retired. I guess it was
the first timo they had ever traveled in
n sleeper by the way they acted, for
they wero pretty awkward about un
dressing, and I heard the old lady leo
lure her husband for not getting a
larger room. After much mutual
grumbling all was quiet, and then
camo a deep snoro accompanied by
ono a tritlo more subdued. It, was ev
ident tho old people wero asleep. At
Manila Junction a largo party camo in
and taxed tho sleeper to Us lull capao
ity. Tho porter had to removo tho
baggage of the couple, which was
stowed above them, and assigned tho
berth to a littlo inoffensive citizen
weighing about 120 pounds. lie re
moved h's shoes and was climbing
into tho bunk when tho old lady
woke up and began t-ctoaming. This
aroused her husband aud )io yelled for
tho porter, who came running down
the aisle. 'Say, there's a man just
oomn into our room,' the old gentleman
gasped out. Tho porter tried to ox
plain that ho wonld not annoy them,
nnl had a right to ba thoro. But-
neither would believe this, and the old
man declared tha tho porter had let
him in to rob them. Ho was also in
dignant to think any ono should be al
lowed to sleep in tbo same oompart
ment as his wife, and finally lie nnd
tho old lady got up and dressed, and
insisted on the porter removing tho
beddi ig from the berth, so they oonld
uo tho seat". I pooped through tho
curtains and saw them both silling
thnro nodding, hut overy fow minutes
thoy would suddenly remember and sit
bolt upright. I pitied tho poor, de
luded couple, and really tho situation
was not lacking in pathos, to' thv
wero thoroughly in paniest. When I
got off tho train early next morning
thoy weio still sitting there, but both
ware sound asleep, tho old gentleman
