her, said in Ins foreign jargon, "Kndonr

Tlio Turk burst out laughing aa glee

Kadour, completely cured, went home

festivities that wero held in his honor
in tho land of the Mutimatas. The reed

longed for whs Iiaters quick glance
round the sick room to see if anything
were wanting tor his comfort; he sighed
for the blue, eyes iii which the light
played as brightly as in drops of clear

Little by little, however, the tender

the memory of big convalescence and
tlie soft tempered air of France, faded

Too Thoughtful.
In a tiny seaport village thero was in-
stlilleil ns postmaster, not long ago, a
man whom everybody had always looked
upon as ii quiet, well moaning person,
who minded his" own affairs., Whetheri
his elevation to oince ciiangeu ma nature,
or only served ttnlovclnp a trait of.char
acter which had long been waiting a
chance to display itself, no one knbws;
but the fact remains that curiosity, of a
most intense nnd persistent kind, seemed
to take possession of liim from tho very
day ho assumed his now position,.
Nobody could accuse him of holding
letters up to tl,o Ijght to decipher their
contents, or of reading postal cards, be
cause lie was never seen doing such
things; but in what other way he could
haj-o aeqnired his knowledge pf people's
private affairs it was. certainly difficult
to imagine.
A lady in the village was anxious to
havo a message reach a friimd. ou i cer
tain day by the boot which took the
mail to a uelghlioritig town, mid Imstlly
writing a few lines on it latal she
signed simply her initial qfhd sllpnedJslie
card with wyeral letters into the box.
Tlie next night when rtie wont fo.r her
mail the postmaster luvuled ruir back the
postal, v
"I saw, Alias Green," he remarked,
, with a bland smile, "that you luuln't
finished that card, luiving left qff with
tlie first letter of some word, doubtless
an important ono, I knew you'd slipped
it v with your letters by mistake, jo
I saved it for yoji!" Youth's Companion.

If you meet ox-Governor Ladd, of
Rhode Isluud, ask him how ho turned
the laugh on the groupif distinguished
people amid whom ho sat in the presi
dential grand stand at the Grand Army
display. Lverybody who is on speaking
tenns with him knows that he is as
proud of his littlo state as though it was
as big ns Texas, nnd the chaffing to
which ' he was isnbjected while the
thousands of men in tho departments
from tho great states were marching
past was not calculated to make him
particularly comfortable.
"Don't forget your spyglasses when
little Rhody's department is due," cau
tioned Governor Burleigh.
'I say, Ladd, don t you want to bor
row a man to carry a Hag for your boys?"
shouted Governor Buikeley over th
heads of rows of people.
"Is It possible that Rhode Island has
a department lx ttselfr" provokmgly
queried Mrs. Alger. .
Atid so it went for a couple of hours.
Finally little Rhody's department flag
was descried turning into Huntington
avenue. Then came the department
commander proudly riding ahead of a
staff as numerous as the largest. Then
came Reeves' splendid baud, and then

One Of tho linnds on board the sloamer
Penobscot, of the Bnugor lino, has
gained a wide reputation as u story
teller. It wasT-ecently that this famous
raconteur favored a select audience with
this reminiscence of his early days: "It
was a beautiful afternoon iu July," said
he, "the sun was pouring down through
tho hay fields, and as wo toiled with
scythe and rake wo felt tired and weary.
"Coming suddenly upon n patch of
strawberries, wo sat down and feasted
upon tho luscious fruit, the singlo ber-
nes being nn large round' as your fist.
Whllo we sat enjoying this delicious re
past wo suddenly saw a lear come out
of the woods on tho other side of the
meadow and make.for us. You can bet
we raivfor our Hvcb'. I being tho fattest
fellow' could not keep' up witH'tho rest,
and more than once tho nose of the bear
grazed my legs as I flow along. Reach'
ing tho river, about two miles from the
field, wo roshed out upon tho ico. It was
so slippery that tho bear could not keep
up with us, and we made our escape,
Ono of tho fellow's hearers innocently
remarked thntho would have believed
the story "if (he critter hadn't lied so
about the sizo of tho strawberries.".

OVER WILD BILL'S GRAVE.
Batntes I1rel by frontiersmen In Hanoi1
of tlie Demi Hlint's Memory.
There litis been another red lotter day
in the history of Deadwood. That was
the day on which Wild Bill was killed by
MoCnttll. Though a popular man, Bill
was a dead shot, and McCaull could not
have killed him if he had not approached
him treacherously. McUnulI wns imme-
iliately locked tip. but the excitement lie-
came so great that a mob asedmbled for
the purpose of trying, convicting and
lynching him. While the proceedings
oro in'progress the clatter of hoofs was
heard and n man ou horseback appeared
riding at full speed with his reins in his
teeth and with a rifle in ono hand and an
Indian's dripping head in the other. Ho
had shot and killed the Indian just out
side of Deadwood, and the ovent was
considered of so much importance that
the crowd forgot its lynching nnd pro
ceeded to gratify its thirst for vengeance
by contemplating the gory trophy which
rolled nt its feet. JlcCaull was after
ward taken to Yankton, whero he was
hanged by Ihe neck in a lawful manner.
Wild Bill was buried in the old ceme
tery with a rude white board at his
head, but five years later some of his
friends exhumed the body nnd gave it
proper burial in the new cemetery on
Mount Jlorinh. It wag reported at that
time that Wild Bill's body had turned
to stone, nnd a man camo laro not long
afterward and offcrM the undertaker
$15,000 if ho would help him steal it for
purposes of exhibition. Since then there
have been many inquiries about the case,
bnt no one believes thnt the body was
petrified. Bill's now grave on the mount
ain top- shows thnt it is the resort of
many curiosity seekers. A path is worn
across lots to it from the main wagon
oad, and the whito headboard has been
whittled away by rello huntern until it
resembles n big toothpick.
One man appears to havo worked a
.not out of the board, and the ground
all about the well beaten grave is cover
ed with cartridge shells. There are
frontiersmen, It appears, who show their
egard for Bill s memory by standing
upon his gravo and emptying their re
volvers into the air, throwing away their
cartridge shells us they reload. 'Tho other
day tho city marshal found it necessary
to run in one of these fellows, who had
done little else for a week except shoot
his revolvers over Wild Bill's grave. The
man uppeared to have a genuine regard
for tho dead man's memory, and as he
submitted to arrest ho expressed his
sense of the outrage in most forcible
terms. Cor. Chicago Herald.
Tim Hie; Desert Can Ho Ileollllmed
M. J. Dybowski ridicules the popular
notion tjiat tho Sahara consists largely of
shifting sands nnd contends that this hot
region might bo colonized and- utilized
for agricultural purposes.- All that it
needs is water; and the main drift of M.
Dybowslu's communication is to show
how nbuudant this is at small depths be
low tho surface. In many parts palms,
when once planted, can reach it with
their roots. In others very shallow nr-
tesiau, "wells, suffice, nnd tho water flows
continuously. Ho advocates a system of
irrigation from artesian wells, and, as a
pi-oof of the abundance of water, men
tions one such well that yields over n
thousand gallons per minute. When
onco palms nro established Ihe whole
aspect is changed by rich vegetation that
crows around theut.
IVIiero Gen. Giant Died.
While at Mount McGregor I visited
tho Grant cottage. It is in the same
condition now as it was when Grant
died. Tho same furniture stands in the
same places,' and tho tallow cundlo half
burned down to the socket stands on the
table, besides the two great armchairs
in which ho breathed away his last
hours. Pieces of his last writing, con
sisting of slips from his pad, are shown,
nnd there is a tall, lino looking soldier in
uniform who sleeps in the cottage and
takes cure of the relics, Thero are, on
the average, about 24,000 visitors ti year
now, and many pathetic incidents occur.
Nearlv'cverv ono that comes wants to
take away sonio memento of the place,
nnd mnny pick up the gravel of the walk
around tho house, supposing that they
are carrying off stones trodden by the
foot of Grant.
The. truth is that this gravel has to be
renowed every month on account of
these roliu hunters, and the stones they
carry away ,havo novor seen Grant. Mr.
Arkell, who owns tho mountain, tells
mo ho was offered $35,000 for tho cot
tage, and that tho men who offered this
wero western men, who said they wanted
to cut up tho cottage and sell it forrelics.
The prolwbUity is that they would have
tnken it to pieces, havo carried it off to
Chicago and shown it thero at the expo-

Mepreriatlon In the 1'rtee of Onyx.
Among the art treasures which used
to adoni the drawing room in his marble
palace, now occupied by the Manhattan
club, A. T. Stewart oherished a block of
Mexican onyx twelve inches snnaro and
about seven-eighths of an inch thick. He
gave $T00 for it, and it was considered
an unusually big, rare piece of what was
tli on a precious stone. Bo rapidly have
the onyx, deposits of Mexico been da-
veloiiod since the day of the merchant
prince, however, that n piece of onyx the
same size as the one the great trader
valued an highly can now be purchased
In New V orlc for nwnit $5, or for a good
