On th evening of .Tun 18. 18o3.
OeorKP Weliir.'on, nn 1 Mdr.a faraer,

51 was a man 42 ytai of ags and of
robust hea";th, and on Uils eveQing tt
was notii'-i.l tliat he waa in particularly
good spirit.
After t'.e pue?ts had departed he
remnrkM to his wife that h felt raor?
!ik-sin? r.g an'' 1a!icir.s; than going to
bed. They retired about half past 11
o'c.r.ctr, and she was asleep before mid
night. The farmer was always out of be at
5 o'clock, l.ut on the morning following
the party th- wif-j awoke at 6 and found
him still sleeping. When she attempted
to arouse him she dis 'overel that he
was dead.
A doctor wa? s::'. f r. and he arrived
in the course of an r.o-ir to pronounce it
a case of heart .i!isv He Paid the
man had been deal threa hours when
thevwifrf awoke The undertaker came
and prepared th bodj for burial.
It was remarked that the corpse re
tailed a life-Uke appearance, and that
n.ir.e of the limbs grew rigid, but the.
t vo other physicians called in vigorously
i(.rabatted tne Idea that he was in a j
trance and m!ght r-e restored to life. '
Nevertliele-s, the wife and sons had a
sectot hope that death had not roully
come to him, and the funeral was put :
two days ahead.
The burial wa9 to take place In a j
country graveyard, and most of the
vehicles gathering at the house holorigiHl
io fat itn-ra The usual ceremoeiea took
pi ce over the dead, and the coffin was
tronght out and placed in th hearse.
While the procession was forming, a
team at! ached to an empty wag n came
down the road, running away. The
w.tgon collide! with the hearse and the
l itter vehicle was upset and the coflin
tiling out. Four or five men ran to pick
't up, but before a hand had touched
ii., a voice was heard, saying:
" For God's sake, let me out of
thl !"
The people at first moved back In
affright, but ae the voice continued to
address them the coffin was righted and
opened, and Wellington was found
s' riLrir'.ing to get out
With a little assistance he pulled hlm--e
f out of the box and walked into the
"u e and eat down in a chair. In half
j n hour he had his clothes on and was
i .iioving around among the amazed
.'opie, to whom he related this ex-
. '. lelice.
' I did not fall asleep until some time
ifter r.iidn ght. When I awoke the
iock wa- striking 5. I made a move to
i -"t out of bed, but, to my great nmazo

problem I could not solve.
Not a word was spoken neir me
which I did not cal.-h ' and fully un

I have Just returned frm a tonr
through the provinces of Brandenburg
and S.lesia
I uo not propose to give a narrative of
the Impressions I have received on my
trip. Only one feature In my intercourse
with the people oi the j roviiu-ial tows
Bhall be mentioned that impressed it-elf
very forcibly upon my mind as being
characteristic of the German female.
Strangers who are admitted into the
houses o Gorman families car not help
being puzzled at seeing every German
woma of all ranks, from ten yea s up
to eighty make ihe uintermi:ting us,;
of her kni ting needle- the be-all and
end-a 1 of her outdoor e istence.
I sav out ioor, advi-dly ; Sor with'n
cooking alternates wi'h knitting In
the provinces yon csn har lly see a fe
male native unprovided wi'h her ever
lasting. "Stnckzeng. At the reergar
oens, at the cafes, at places of amuse
ment, the fraut and fra!fis knit and
knit, as if their wh'de soul, like an Irish
woman's money, ly within a stocking
heel.
For It is none of your prettv, your.g
ladylike, fancy-hair looking fantasies
which those fi. e resolute needles perpe
trate. No. tie wora-s of ' heir p ints are
polid, uncompromising coverings for the
foot of h.:shand. brother, ton and daugh
ter. !
The rise and progress of a pair of Ger- j
man stockings, which I took on several ,
occasions special pains to watch care-
fully, strongly reminded me of a certain .
glass of hot punch. j
A jolly old Irish farmer in western j
New York, whom I well remember, was !
wont to boast that he never on any occa- ;
Sion drar.k more thn one glass of punch !
at one si'ting. This was p-Tfeetly tr-e.
but it was equal y ccr a:n that he was
never known to go to bed sober.
The old gentleman, after supper, used i
to manufaoturo a potent gbi.-s. After
sipping a few spoonfuls he would com
plain that it waued sugar. A lump or
two were added. Then it was too sweet
A somewhat too liberal infusion of pure
water required a second dose of whiskey.
Then a lit le more f.g-ir was added, and
eo on, until, under the delusive name of
one glass, a round tlu.en or so had bc-en
lmbited.
Now, in a somewhat analogous manner
Is a German stocking pre erved by its
thrifty owner to a venerable ol 1 age.
When the foot, after careful mending,
Is irretrievably gone, a new one is knit
on the tipper part, and when this in its
turn becomes superannuated, a new leg
is joined to the foot. This operation
being several times repeated, the article
in question enjoys an immortality of
stockmghood, although, like the fiamo
. which it helps 'o cover, its su! .stance i3
perpe ually renewed
The G rrann ladies hold In high con

Annie, whnt do you think I told Ned
Brown
Called the farmer from tho well
And a fiu-h cr-pl up to h's bron?. -d brow
And his eves hall bnsnlully bul.
"It was this:' And coming near he
smiled.
' It wa- this: That you are ;he best
And the dearest wife in town.''
Tho f -rmer went back to the field,
And the wife, in a .smiling, absent way,
Sang snatches of tender little songs
She'd ni t sung in many a day.
And the pain in her head was gone anc
her clo lies
Were as wii te as the foam of the sea.
And her butter as &voet and golden as it
could bo.

The good wife smiled to herself as she
aid:
" 'Tis so sweet to labor for those w e love
It is not strange that maids will wed."

Mark Twain's narrowing Emperleneea with
Mice and Other Monsters.
Mr. Stave Gil is, printer and Journalist,
was t.;e friend and room mate of Mark
Twain in the old days when the lattr
was a reporter on the Call, says the San
Francisco Post. They had likewise suf
fered and triumphed together in the
sagebrush, the dusty green foliage of
whi.h they frequently succeeded in
turning to a bright r-d. Mark was and
is a very nervous man. Small annoy
ances robbed his life of sweetness and
light. Stephen had no nerves and it gave
iizi a malign pleasure to experiment
uron those of Mr. Clemens
"'Steve, " cried Mark, in an agonized
voi3e. shaking his lied fellow out of an
apparently profound slumber, do you
heir that "mouse that infernal, gnawing
mou-e? It's driving me wil t."
"Oh, hang the mouse," growl".! Gil'.ls,
tuir.ing over and snoring ostentatiously.
't wasn't a mouse, but a little mae.'iine
which. Stephen was pr vate.y w iking j
with a string for the benevolent purpose !
of torturing his fri-nd. j
Mark lay and writhed and cuis d and
gnashed his teeth He cried shoo and ,
beat upon the headboard. He got up j
j and threw things undiir the bel, and
; walked around the room ani wrurg his :
hands and moistenei his r -faulty with

room. In his hand he held a Japanese

He'll never crow again," exulted the
' assassin ; but even as he crawled Into
bed the offending rooster sent foith a .
cock-a-t'oodie-do that caued Mark to
give a howl of foiled vrr-ance and bury
his head under tr.e h'.a.::k--'.r,
i In the morning it was d -.severed that
his one furious ttrvit-; in the chicken
house had bereft eignt nens of their
heads, but the rooster :.a1 es' -aped. He
owed his life to the icrf.nate circum
stance that he 6pt or ratner crowed
at the end of the prch :ar.;.osi from the
door of the coop.
i "Steve! Steve, I say ! wake up!" came
a hoarse and furious wrusper at 'i a.m.
Mr. Gillis awoke tr.d V"held Mr.
Clemens, cad only in his shirt, standing
by the open window. The r.lght was
' cold, and Mr. Clc-m-r.s was shivering
i violently. In his shaitiug hand was a
I revolver.
! "Steve," he pleaded, "you're warm
! and your nerve is good. Get up and
. shoot this cat for me. I've been out in
the vard for an hour trying to get a bead
on the brute, and now that he's there on
the fence I can't kill him oh, I know
that I can t kill him ! Get up, Steve, do."
"Oh. let the c t alone.
"What? You won't get up? Then,
Steve Gillis, I'll shoot you. I'm shaky,
but I can do that if I can't hit a cat !"
And Mr. GUlis urose and slew the cat
in self-defense, and Mark Twain went
out and brought in a bottle and Sat up
till sunrise to celebrate the execution.
Mark Twain and Dan De Quille roomed
together in early Comsto.-k days. One
morning Dan missed his boots, and after
a va n s arch U- suspiciously inquired of
M r!. who was lying in bed, lazily smok
ing c. cl : :'( .
" M.u-k. 1 c.'.i! t find my boots. Do you
know am tli.i'g alout 'om'r"
Your b.ois?" complacently replied
Mark. "Well, yes ; I threw them at
that cat that was yowling around tho
house last ni. ht !"
" Threw my boots at the cat ! howled
Dan in a rage. " Why didn't you throw
your own boots?"
" Dan," said Mark, after a reflective
puff or two; "Dan. if there is anything
I hate it is a selfish man. I have ol
servod of late that you are growing sel
fish. What difference does it make
whose boots were thrown at that cut?
Dan. beware of selfishness. It is the
most contemptible trait in human nature."

It was not long ago that a friend of

excursionists in the mining regions of
Pennsylvania. She was a single lady,
and aid not know any of her male com
panions even by name.
She went down Into a mine with the
other AourUst-s, and with a woman's nat
ural cmrloMty thought sho would Inves
tigate a little for herself.
The?- consequence was that she got
lost and found herself in a labyrinthine

A Minister's Life In Takot.
A voimc man who lately graduated
from" the ' Yale Theological School has
gone out to Northern Dakota to engage
in missionary work. In a recent letter
he writes : '
Out. on an ocean of plain are a few j
houses tho size of hen-coops-these form j
Hoskins, mv present abode. Not a drop
of paint sullies the virgin color of the :
boards. Ono room below, a loft ithove,
in whi. h a dozen of us sb ep.
" Vnd noskins is the county seat, and
the county is larger than the State of
Rhode Island. ,
" I preached in a store. Tho boys
sat on the counter; tho women on chairs
brought, from various shanties. More
over, the 'boys' carried over an organ,
filled a small vase with flowers, and then
we held service.
" But make no mistake. Half of these
'boys' are college graduates. We have
numerous lawyers who have come here
to take several hundred acres of land of
a generous government. I go botanizing
with a delicious chap from Ann Arbor.
" Not a drop of lienor is sold ; the fel
lows are all wild to have a church here;
they are willing to bring boards llity
miles distant; for a m ar neighbor is ho
who lives a dozen nules away. A Meth
od ist clergyman thinks nothing of trudg
ing twenty-four miles and preaching a
i sermon. , ,
Then the sun it beat fiercely down.
but the half-gale that Is continually
blowing mitigates the intensity of the
heat. ,
" Finally, we have a rspor, and we love
it, t o. Ir, gives us a column about Bill
Jones's pump r the size of Ne.ghbor
Brown's new heifer.
"Yet th" inhabitants of Hoskins are
confident of a glorious future. A blade
of grass tower ng above its brother is
magnified in their estimation to a huge
plant, and thev vow that in a few years
Dakota will be a boundless forest instead
of a waste prairie."
