Uowen, tn Inter Oeeaa A ROMANCE OF IIISTOIIY. An Incident of Mexican Cruelty on the Toxas Border. A little restaurant overlixikino; the San AnUinio river. Two men witli chairs tilted back ami feet against the prnj fliiio; rail of the haleony, were siiiiiKttio; tlu-ir evening cigarettes. '1 he iln-.li lay aliove them Hive a hat's wino;. ready to fall swiftly atnl smhlen ly, as it does in southern latitudes. Until m ere 3'ounir and of punUy pres-em-e. Vestern suns ami winds had tanned their cheeks and hnrued in the red i f youth to a rich tropic line. Across the brow of one a brow whose boyiiw contour moved women with mother instincts to sudden lon' inr to caress lay Ioom waves of soft yellow hair. ISeneath looked out eyes of dark iray, heavy with the lonjr thoughts of those early, desperate, days days whc.i a republic worked out in blood her Ion"; probation. "I lo i.t'uT had a fairer countenance, more lightsome and full of happy promise. Xo dark prophecy brooded in the sunny shadows of the brijr'it blue eyes, and laughter sprain.' as litr'itly to the lip as the blush to the cheek of a maid. Superadded to-niht to his native exula-rance was sum.' foreio-n eleiuent of joyotisness, which seemed to master spirit and muscles alike. He was fall of movement. Tossing away a half fiuished iioarctte, he claspi'd hish inds back of his curly head and broke the silence with suilJcn sjieech. "Ned, 1 am too happy to smoke; I am the happiest matt in all this border land. Nellie llerudon has prtmixil to he my wife. It's a secret yet. but I couldn't keep it from you any more than I could keep my love from her. There is uot another woman like her, north, east, south or west. lhd you ever notice the (.'old of her hair? It is like sunshine spun into threads. 'When ever I look at her J thiiili of some quaint old .words my mother used to re al out ot a boon lonoj 3ears aj,'o when I was a boy back in my old (Seoro-ia home. They went this way: 'Whose shoe's latehet I am not worthy to unloose.' 1 MipjHisu the preachers would call that irreverent, but Sod will lear me witness there's no irrev erence in my heart when I think of her." At Harvey Armstrong's first words the color was washed out of Ned Fos ter's face as with a spoiio-e, his very eyes seemed to pale. Urinjrinp; the chair to the prouniL. conceal ine; his face with his huinls, he leaned over the railine; and looked down into the sluirg-isli waters of the river llowine; a few feet lielow. How old and wise they looketl, those waters, in their calm, unfretted flow. "tiood for you. old fellow." he said, as he extended his hand. "May you have centuries of happiness. If any man deserves her it is you, Harvey." This was in the summer of 1S41. In the autumn of ls4J, when Presi dent Houston ordered out (Jen. Smier veil to the Kio Srande to organize troops and avenge the insult ine; mi,ls of Vasipiez and Woll, Xed l'oster was aiuon-e the tirst to respond to the call for volunteers. AlM.ut tine hundred and eie;hty miles south of Saltillo, on the road to the t ity of Mexico, is an old fort, known in history as the Hacienda .Sahulo. To this place, on the 2iith of March, 1S4'. were brought the recaptured rem nant of the unfortunate Mier exjiedi tion, that gallant band of three hun dred aud sixty men, the flower of western militia, who went forth to do battle for the honor of tlie j-omi(f re public and were so treacherously ileal t with by the followers of Santa Ana, to whom they surrendered as prisoners of war. All readers of Texas history know how the terms of the treaty were broken and the betrayed men showu no mercy but inarched into tbe interior, subjected to incredible hardships, and finally imprisoned miles away from home and friends. I'eelino; keenly the indi"-nity of their treatment, and fearing worse at the hands of such perfidious foes, they overpowered the ifiiard and escaped, to le retaken ten days later and re turned to the same inclosure whence they hail lied. All this is history; but we have no written record of that interval between the esca-H and the recapture, when the little company wandered, lost and .helpless, amonp; tl,e fastness of un familiar mountains; no record of those ten days and nights when the sun rose and -set but to mark another anil dark er exjierience in the calendar of human pain. Ned Foster and Harvey Armstrong1 were aiiioiij; the nuiiilxr. Stronger than the multiplied threads of the ca-:bh- had prown the bond of friendship Wtween these two men in the awful realism of danger and sufferinp;. For four days the weary and footsore had traveled down a deep canyon whise sleep sides narrowed and nar rowed, until they closed and barred them in. Then ine retracing of those same steps. A few, sorely weakened, pave up the truj.'gle and dropped out of the ranks. Some became deranged and, wander ing off, slipH'd down the rocky ravines and were Willed. On the evening of the tenth day they were met by a Unly of Mexican caval ry and bidden to halt and give up their arms. After three days rest, in which their half-spent lives were restored by those arts of healing the Mexicans know so well, they were carried, handcuffed in pairs, into Saltillo and thence to Sal ado. The hoary walls of the old hacienda looked down in sinister strength as the thinned ranks filed in. Eight Mexicans were outside digging a trench. Ned exchanged a look with Harvey, his companion in irons, and whispered: That means deatli. He was not wrong. At two o'clock ot the same day the prisoners were ordered out and ranged in double line against one of the walls. The ollieer in command then read the written decree of Santa Ana, pres ident of Mexico, a decree which pro nounced for these men a fate so in genious in its torture to mind and body that it might have been conceived in the subtle brain of a Herod. Every tenth man was to be killed, the decision to ' e made by lottery. Into a jar were to lie dropped one hundred and seventy beans one hun dred and lifty-three white and seven teen black. Each man was to take out a bean. Those drawing the black ones were to lie shot lie fore the sun went down; the rest spared death, but retained as prisoners. It wits a dark and cloudy day, this 'Jflth of March, with high winds that whipped the sand into great waves and blew it across the plains. lSeyond the door of the courtyard nothing could be seeu but the llvin" - o sand. Over all spread the dusky canopy of the heavens. A Mexican soldier mounted a stool an 1 held aloft the fatal pitcher. The roll was called. As each hand was slowly lifted and poised for one single instant above the mouth of the ju r life an I death must have met and made salute. Ti e game was for souls, and the die was a Mexican ln'an! Foster's name was called near the last and he carelessly ilropjied in his left hand, with perchance a reminis cence of childish days when h.- had done such things "for luck," and found he had picked up a white lie an. As he returned to his place Ilarvev passed him, and Ned saw in the white, drawn face of his friend no sign of fear, but the mental anguish of (Jeth semane. What was it he ha.l said last night in one of the pauses of that long march? That jierhaps, even now. a baby voice was waking faint echoes in his little home, aud that the anxiety he was Waring for another was sharper with pain than any physical torture he had experienced. Neit looKeil at tlie smooth wnite oval of t he vegetable seed in his hand and made a resolve. When he looked up Harvey was just raising his hand. Ned noticed how it trembled. When the fingers were withdrawn there was something black outlined against their bloodless tips. The change in his face was that of deatli. With a quick movement toward his friend, Foster made a Midden thurst anil gesture, and- how it was no one could ever explain but after the slight confusion and pe re mptory orders to fall inline Harvey was seen standing in his old place stat ing with bewildered gaze ut a white object in his open palm, and Ned. erect and calm, with brow of more than mortal beauty, awaiting the signal of death. As soon as Harvey regained control of his confused faculties he made fran tic, pitiable efforts to communicate with his friend, but was silenced at the point of a musket and compelled to throw himself face downward with the rest, while tlie seventeen d'jomed men were led forth, bound together with cords, their eyes bandaged, and shot repeatedly until life was extinct. They asked the privilege of being shot from the front, but were refused, and made to sit upon a log near the wall with their backs to he executioners. Six were taken out first, then six more and then five. Darkness fell like a great funeral pall as the last shots were fired, and stars shed their holy candle rays above the dead; the dishonored dead, lying in one great heap, body piled atop of body. Nora C. IVrry, in Omaha ltee. Spoony anil lMtln't fare Who Knew It. The newly wedded couple boarded the train at a village station and a crowd of alout a hundred people saw them off. The groom was a strapping young tellow, with sunburned face and hands and bear's grease on his hair, .while the bride might have been the "hired gal" on the same farm. They 'had no sooner taken a seat than he put his arm around her and liegan to caress one of her hands. A voiee in rear of them cried out "Sxons'" but the bridegroom gave no sign. Pretty soon he pulled her head over on his shoul der and there was a titter from the rear of the car. The head stayed right there, however, and Josh got both her hands in his one paw. Three or four voi :es :ried out: "Oh!" and 'Ah!" but it was fully two minutes before he tenderly pushed her away and rose up and looked around and said: "We are married. It was a case of luv. We sparked fur seven years. She's mv vio let and I'm her towcrin oak. We've got one hundred and eighty miles to go and we arc goin' to spoon every durned rod of it and if thar's any critter here who thinks he can't stand it he kin git out and walk!"

One of the wierdest of desert scenes is the mirage, and no more curious stories have been told of them in recent years than by I Van Duke, of San Fran cisco, who, as superintendent of a great t attle range in New Mexico, has lieen much in the saddle during the last few months, and has seen many of them. Mr. Duke, who, according to a San Francisco exchange, lately arrived in that city, tells of quaint towns Ix-yond the American border tieing refracted in the skies and made to appear a.s actually existing on the New Mexieo desert-. Tlie towns vary in size, and the domes of churches anJ of government build ings, the stores, and all the outlines stand out in clear view. The air is so thin and pure that a real object fifty miles away does not appear to lie more than five. "In riding over the plains I have seen many of these strange mirages of towns of Old Mexico." saiil he. ' "The spires of the' churches, with their white crosses, the adolte buildings and every thing aliout them are complete. Killing at a distance one takes them for -real towns, and it is only after learning that there can lie no such cities in the vicinity that he gives up his idea of go ing to them. Many men have lcen de ceived by them, as they have been by the mirages resembling lakes. "Not long ago an American named Frank Seyliold was journeying, from the old town of Juarez.. Mexico, to Los Pa lomas, in New Mexico, with a lot of merchandise'. About forty miles south of Iteming, in Chihuahua, he saw a tieautif ul lake and pulled over the plains to get water for himself and team, as Imth were very thirsty. He drove for quite a distance and still didn't appear to get an)-closer. Still the lake was there bvfore him in such lnauty and naturalness that he never thought but it w:is genuine, and kept on. He could feci, as he thought, the' cool breeze from the lake, and was encouragiil to push ahead. "At length after going several miles and getting no closer the fact of its be ing a mirage of the desert dawned on him and he w het-led his team around to get back. lSut night came on ln-fore he reached the road. He pushed ahead, thinking to reach it anyway, and thus got hist and wandered around till he could not reach the road. "He had. therefore, to stay where he was, and in the morning he renewed his searcli- It was no, use, however. He could not find it, and after wandering around a good while longer he un hitched his teams, le-ft his goods, and proceeded in the direction he supposl Los Palomas was. it was four days in all ln-fore he got back, and in that time he hail 'no water and suffered greatly. It was a wonder he got through at all. "Another case I know of occurred last summer. A Mexican got lost on the plains, was tleceived by the mirages, and went hither and thither inquest of water. Finally he was deceived by this so much and had gone so long without anything to drink that he be-came de lirious, and. whipping out his revolver, shot himself to get rid of his sufferings. "His hand was unsteady, and instead of intlicting a fatal hurt he shot him self in the leg. He saw the blood ooz ing from it, and in his crazed condition drank it as it came from the wound Strange to say, it revived him so that he partially -ecovercd his reason, and at last got back to where he could get w ater and lie treated. He eventually reci .'ered. "On the vast dry plains near the Mex ican lairder last summer a great many coyotes went mail because there was no water to drink. In this mad condition they would bite anyl-ody they found.

"There have lnen several instances of pis ple dying down there of hydro phobia from the bites of the mad coy otes. Kath.-r more of them have oc cur nil over the line of Mexieo than any where else. It was the excessive dry ness that caused the coyotes to get crazed. At such times they are danger ous, and oue must look out for them." A PARTRIDGE BRINtiS LUCK. Htrisns;e MiperatiUo i Anions; the J'rlml tlve I 'oik ot .Maine. In regard t j the habit of partridges of flying into civilization, and a popular superstition regarding them, an Au gusta man said to a rci-orter of the Ban gor (Me.) Commercial: "One llew on our premises and was captured. Then came up the question wht ther we should kill the bird or al low it to live. At that time there was a general superstition that if a part ridge came to a house where a sick ier son lay, and the bird was killed and the sick person ate the broth, it would ef fect a cure. There was a girl sick at our house, and the doctors had given up her case as hopeless. Some of the fam ily said kill the partridge and give the sick girl the broth. But the sick girl and others were for permitting the partridge to live. We were equally di vided, and agreed to let one of the neighbors, whom we saw coming to the house, decide whether the partridge should lie killed or not. He said kill it, and we did, and the sick girl ate the brot h and pot well." LAST OF THE CENSUS. Coi.OR.ro"a assessed valuation in 1SSO wasST4,471,0'J3; in lMHj it wasSlS8,-Vll.n-i.

Troubles of JTewtah ColonUts la the if ireatla Kepublic- It is learned from the Jewish lrogress that the Kussian Jewish colonies which have lieen planted in the Argentine Ke public by Karon Jlirsch are already suf fering from the hostility of the Argen tinians, or, as the Jewish lVogress says, are subjected to "persistent per secution by the Spaniards and Portu guese of the orthinlox church." . The climate is unfavorable to them; the conditions of life are not what they looketl for; they cannot pursue those industries which they like best: the government is not over friendly to them, and now the natives have turned against them with the intent of driv ing them out and of preventing othur of ISaron Hirsch's beneficiaries from joining them. It is certainly hard for the poor Jews who have gone and for those who desire to go to Argentine, where there is room for ten million new settlers. The government of the country has for years past lieen anxiotts to obtain immigrants from Europe and has offered inducements to newcomers which have In-cn accepted by Italians and some Germans; but, as soon as a few hundred Jews go there, there is opposition. The Argentinians are as intolerant of Judaism in the nineteenth century as their Spanish ancestors were in the fifteenth. The Jews of Russia, says the Xuw York Sun, are in a plight indeed. The government of their native country is anxious to get rid of them and they do not find it easy Ut learn of any coun try in which they will lie welcomed. Turkey will not permit them to enter any part of its territory excepting Pal estine, which few of them desire to go to. Austria will not receive them; Ger many will not receive tkicm, and even the Jews of German nativity are kept in fear of an anti-Semitic outbreak. In France there is a strong anti-Jewish sentiment. In England parliament has been asked to take measures to prevent the continuance of the Jewish influx from Russia. Spain and Italy are no more to In thought of than the Scandi navian countries or Ireland. We should suppose that Kussian Jewish colonies might lie formed -in the countries of northern Africa, especially in Algeria, under French protection. We ! not see why the aucict home of the race. Palestine, is so unattractive to the Jews of our time. This American repulilic seems to le the only eountry of the world to which the Jews of Russia can come with any assurance of peace, protection aud prosperity. We had a very great Jew ish immigration last year until it was stopped by the enforcement of the quar antine laws in Scptemlter anil by the president's proclamation, which was applicable to all immigrants. It is not likely that there will be any great ad dition to our Jewish population this year. SLEIGHING IN THE SOUTH. An I'nwonted Snow tall Reaalterf In Nome Onerr Attempts at I'nttcr-Maklnc;. Sleighing is a rare thing in Atlanta, Ga.. and so vehicles with runners are not numerous. lint th inhabitants managed to enjoy the snoe-fall of last winter just the same. The Journal of that city says a few genuine cutte-rs were to be' seen, but the improvised sleigh did just as well. la -pipes, pieces of fiat iron and planks were u?ed for runners, anil were fastened to the axles of the vehicles. Atlanta was going to make the most of the snowstorm, and she took a sleigh ride. One gentleman sa wetl out a huge hogshead and nailed it to a pair of skids. He looketl like King Gambrinus as a double team towed him over the frozen In-autif ul. A lad), who evidently had some fancy for the style of the Esquimaux sat on a cushion on a flat wooden sleigh to which was hitched a small black pony. There were no shafts, but long traces, just as the Laplanders use. The lady was wrapped and hooded, and in her arms she held a rosy-t-heekeil, bright little baby, muffled like a papoose of Iceland. Two men, who liked to kill two birds with one stone, constructed a sleigh on the design of a river skiff. A man of family and of originality built a double sleigh with a children's addi tion. On the front and larger sleigh he and his wife sat in two wicker chairs, aud in the smaller, which was towed by the larger, his two children tilted back in little rocking chairs. Six young gentlemen, one of whom runs a furniture store, faste-ned six huge retl nxking e-hairs on a wooden frame with runners. Two stately and dignified mules made the rockawa slip like a greased toboggan. The Shah'a I.I t tie Joke "In an art. exhibition of London," wrote the shah of Persia in the journal he kept during his last visit to Europe, "we were looking at a painting repre senting an ass. I asked: 'What is the price of this painting?' The director of the exhibition, wno was a corpulent man, with a white beard, looked up the price-list, and said: 'One hundred English pounds, which are equal to two hundred and fifty Persian toman. I answered: 'The price tf a live ass is at the most five pounds; why should this be so dear when it is only the pic ture of an ass'' The director replied: 'Because it causes no expense and eats neither hay nor oats. I said: 'Although it causes no expense, it can, on the other hand, neither carry burdens nor give a man a ride. We both laughed." Itabher Tret-s In the l ulled State. The plants which produce the princi pal portion, if not all. of the rublier supply, are native's of tropical America. As there is no similar climate in the United States, it is altogether unlikely that any of these tree's could be culti vated Ui lie of any commercial inqior tance in this country. Although an al most tropical climate prevails iu the ex treme southern portion of Florida, yet occasional low temperature, even in these portions, would be fatal to the permanency of these plants. llofi mm S m u cxler. In the Netherlands dogs used to be" trained by smugglers to cross thefron tier laden with parcels of lace, at night. A quick -scented dog was despatched ahead of them, who, when he smelled custom house officers about, turned Hack and warned the others, who lay concealed behind bushes or in ditches till all was safe. At the end of the journey the leading dog sliowetl himself alone, nor did the others come up till a whistle was given by the cuausiguee to tdiow all was safe. MKiKATOJiY SERVANTS. They Come and Go with the Free dom of the Wind. To-llsy Thry Are Here and To-Morrow W here Are TheyT-A t'aae Which Many of (lor Headers Will A ppreclate. In the matter of keeping servants one can never tell when the lightning will strike. To-day she is here, and to morrow where is' she? Ths domestic harmony is fair and lovely as a sum mer day; then suddenly and without any warning whatever the girl appears with the remark: 'I must leave on Monday, ma'am." The lady of the house is prostrated with consternation; fche reminds the girl of the dress she gave her for Christmas; promises her fifty cents a week more wages and an other night off, but these arguments and petitions are useless; the girl is adamant in her determination. She had made up her mind. Other jx't'ple. make up their minds sometimes, but they are as pliable as wax compared to the servant After the lady of the house has had her scene with the servant, t,tie reports the matter to her bet ler half, -who re marks complacently: "What, Mariar going? You can't -persuade her to stay? Nonsense! You women never know how to do these things. You lack diplomacy and tact- You have to handle these matters gently. !et me tackle Mariar." So in a blithe way he approaches Maria and says: "I hear you have some thoughts of taking your departure?" "If it's lavhr you mane, you have hurd right," is the answer. "Tut, Mariar. I know you don't in tend doing anything of the kind. Get that idea out of your mind" 'I goes on Monday," replies Maria, and plunges her bunds into the tub and says no more. The reasons for her going are many, for Maria is but a type. Sometimes it is to visit a sick sister, brother or cousin; sometimes the climate diesnt agree with her; sometimer. she is going to marry the coachman around the corner and have a house of her own. Again she ts going without any appar ent reason. She likes the family: the wages are all right; there is nothing the matter with the missus but she is just going. She is a bird of passage, and when the inclination comes to fly she spreads her wings and vanishes. You might as well try to imprison an eagle as to keep her when her soul is bent on flying. A family on Sproat street had an ex perience with one of these restless souls which will long remain a sad memory. The yearning to lie away as urong as that of the robins when winter comes always seizes the faithful domestic when the house is full of company. In this case a second cousin, his wife and two children were making a visit at the house' of the Sproat stret t resident, who is of a hospitable disju.sitioii and doesn't mind how much company he' has if the wheels of domestic aifairs are moving smoothly. No soouer were the newcomers fairly installed than Maria, or to speak more specifically, and not of a type. Katie, approached the lady of the house. "You'll have to find a new girl, ma'am." The lady gave a miniature shriek. "Surely you are joking, Katie," she faltered. "I'm not joking, ma'am. I never joke." "But you would not leave me like this?" "I give you fair warning, ma'am. That is all a poor girl is expected to do." "But the house is full of guests and what will they have to eat?" - "That's not my lookout, ma'am. Per haps they can cook for themselves." The lady liegged and implored, and in answer to all her stixplicationscame the firm reply: "I leave on Clumsday, ma'am." That afternoon the lady explained the situation to her husband In tremu lous tones. "What shall we do. dear," she exclaimetL "What shall we do?" "Never miiiiL, love," he replied. "A girl like Katie shan't phase you. We'll get another girl soon and meanwhile " "Meanwhile" "I'll get up early and fix the fire" "Ah" "And start the furnace " "Oh" "And sweep off the sidewalk " "You darling." Then they embraced tenderly. His brave, helpful nature sustained her drooping spirits in the hour of trial. The first thing he did that night was to purchase an alarm clock and when he went to lied, set it for six o'clock. Before dropping to sleep, he remarked, reassuringly, to his wife: "Don't worry, now. The cloek'll go off. I'll put on the coffee mylf." It seemed to him that he had hardly sunk into slumber when he was awak ened by a horrible din as though a boiler explosion had taken place under the bed. He sprang up in affright and reached for his revolver, while stars danced before his eyes. Then he dis covered that it was only the alarm clock. He pulled on his trousers tbe wrong way and fell over a chair in try ing to get them on, at which he said something that caused his wife to re mark, in drowsy tones: "KetnemluT, we have guests, dear." Then the owner of the voice sank into slumber once more, while he, half attired, w ith his coat and vest on his arm, devoid of collar and carrying his shoes, started downstairs. It was very dark. He never knew lefore it was so dark at six o'clock. Did Katie have to get up at this hour every day? If so, he did not blame her for leaving. Confound the cat! Who would have thought she was sleeping on the stairs? Where were the matches? Is there anything so hard to find in the dark as a match box?. Ah, he has found it. Striking a light he groped his way toward the cellar stairs. To his chagrin the furnace had gone out and for half an hour he labored as faithfully as Her cules at any one of his tasks, covering himself with dust and glory. Soon the fire was burning cheerily and he made his way upstairs into the kitchen. now in ine world does Katie make a Are without kindling?" he muttercL finally he lighted a lamp and went in to the woodshed. "I ll ,,,,, W)mt. kindling in a jiffy," he said. So say ing, he chopped up a board and met with no further mishap than to injure himself with a flying splinter. .or . , ... As be passed through the back yard - with the kindling he glanced toward the east. "I wonder where is the god of day?" he remarkeiL Then he start ed the fire in the kitchen stove aud put the kettle Vki. It was so dark that he was tibliged to keep the gas lighted. "It's fuiinv the sun doesn't come up," he commented as he drew his shiver ing form nearer the fire and watched the tea-kettle, whicli was now emit ting steam and whispering the while oue of its soft lullabies. lSetween the puffs, the kettle murmured: "Wouldn't you like to go to sleep whoa, w hoo a nice early morning nap puff, puff the sweetest sleep of all the night? whoo, whoo." While this rhythmic measure was going on and he had nearly yield ed to the influence, a liell rang out the hour. '"One two three." Then there was silence. The other lclls followed and they all struck three times. Were the liells i iad? Three o'clock? lmnis sible! Had not the alarm clock gone off and had not the clock lieen set for six o'clock? Then why should all the bells strike three? Were they wrong? Or, was it possible that the alarm clock had gone off at two o'clock? It was more reasonable to suppose that the fault was with the alarm clock. He had heard that they sometimes explod ed before their time. With many silent blessings on the clock he silently stole upstairs and crept into lied. Mean while the kettle downstairs went right on murmuring: "Whoo whoo he's go ing to take his morning nap puff puff!" At the same time his wife whis pered: "Is breakfast ready yet, love? ' "No," was the gruff response. Then she sank into dreams and he followed suit, his bluml-ers being broken by ex ploding alarm clocks and the flying splinters of kindling wood. Suddenly there was a loud pounding. lie started up just as another clock had gone off in his dreams. "What is that?" he exclaimed. "It's the milkman, I think, dear," said his wife. At the same time, in corrolioration of her statement, a sonorous voice arose from below: "Mi-Ik!" "Why doesn't he come in the middle of the night?" growled the husband as he arose and threw a blanket around him. "My dear, you are not going down like that? You will catch your death of cold." "I don't cre," he answered, desper ately. As he opened the back door the wind blew in upon him and the snow covered his bare feet. He looked like a bleached Indian chief as he stood there wrapped in his blanket. He coughed in a funereal manner as he was roughly greeted by the wintry blasts. The milkman, who was cov ered with snow and had icicles on his beard, regarded him in amazement. "Mornin. " he said. "Never mind about exchanging any civilities, my friend," returned the other with chattering teeth. "Just pour tiut your milk." Can't." "Why not?" "It's frozen. Rut I'll leave a cylin drical chunk of ice in the jar, and you can thaw it out." With that he clat tered his pails and disappeared whist ling blithely as though life had no cares. The husband returned to the kitchen with the cylindrical chunk of frozen milk, intending to melt it near the fire. But to his consternation he found that the fire had gone out. The kettle was puffing uway despairingly, singing very softly: "Whoo-whoo you've got to build the fire again whoo-whoo puff-puff" and then, after exulting a moment the steam suddenly ceased coming from the spout. While setting and lighting the fire once more, he soliloquized upon the migratory propensity of servants and told himself that the next girl they em ployed would have to sign a contract to remain at least a montlu By this time he was getting quite warm w ith in dignation, and, although the atmos phere was so chilly indoors, he wouid soon have been comfortable. He knelt on the floor before the stove and began blowing at the fire, his temper not tie ing improved by his ineffectual at tempts to fan the flame into promising projiortions. The flame wavered, iluf tered, looked as though it might te come a promising conflagration, and then went out- He wrapped his man tle more closely around his form and was about to give audible vent to his feelings when he heard a light voice behind him: "You had better go to bed, love, and allow me to make the fire." It was his wife, and there was a sus picion of laughter in her bright, blue eyes. So saying she knelt in turn lefore the stove and soon a cheerful tire was burn ing. Then the kettle began to sputter again. "It's all right now she knows how to do it whew, whew you'd bet ter go to bed puff, puff " Then followed a day of tribulation, the guests being given an explanation which they received good-naturedly. In the afternoon the wife went to an intelligence office and left word to have a girl sent at once. That evening there was a timid knock at the side door. Tlie wife went to see who was there. A familiar and welcome voice was heard: "It's me Katie. If you please, ma'am. I wants to came back. I've changed my mind about lavin'." The wife indulged in a series of rap turous exclamations and Katie was once more installed in the bosom of tho family, where she continues to reign. Detroit Free Press. WOMEN OF EUROPE.
