She at way wort; a bunch of them at

an alligutor-tikin reticule on herann, and
a cheery mnile on her face, he tripped
down Uie steps of her cottage to la-gin
the daily round of viit among her pen
sioners. She wan inteiiH.lv pnu-tical in her
charity, and la-lit-ved in heling only
thoae w ho made an effort to help them
selves. H.T ftrst visit thin morning was to a
neat little houxe in a W k street, w here
lived Alma Zaue. HoleHtipMrt of an inva
lid neither and a half-dozen little Itroth
er and (.intern.
Alma wan Heventeen, rather pretty, and
previous to her a-ijiiaiiitmn-e w ith Mis
lYihcilla Curti had worked in a mill,
where her earning w ere just nuMicient to
keep a sliabby roof alaiw t heir head and
put bread-and-butter into the mouth of
ber hungry little brother and sister.
She had a fair education and a refined
taste.
Miss Curti held her to move into
the quiet little house, which was cheaply
but neatly furnished, aided her to put ,
warm clothing on the children, and to
buy a great easy-chair for the invalid
mother.
hhe taught Alma to embroider, to
paint pretty little cards, and to fashion,
out of cloth, paier, ami wax, flower so
natural that it required no great stretch
of the imagination to smell their Js-r-fume.
Alma found ready sale for the product
of her deft fingers in the shos, and her
two oldest brothers hawked them from
d.xr to door and in the street.
The income thus derived was double
that she had rwived in the mill, and
enabled tbe familv to live verv comfort
ably. Alma ha.l a lover an honest, steady
young man, w ho worked the mill w hich
she liad left, and was, like her, the sole
supirt of a large family.
John Brainerd was shrewd and intelli
gent, and eemed determined to rise in
the worl.l, although he found it retty
uphill work.
He studied hard at nights, and had
lately become much interested in oou
BtnKting a nuclei of a little appliance to
be added to the machinery of a loom,
that would save much lalxir.
He had shown his drawings of the
improvement to the mill-owner, and the
latter had promised to give him live
hundred pounds for theinvention a soon
as lie should erf-et it,
"It's Istund to Ik- a suevs," he said
confidentially to Alma, "and we can af
ford to get married when 1 pet the
money.'
Miss Prisvilla Curtis liad taken much
interest in the young mechanic, and
J eutend heartily into bis plan for the
!, future.
I When she called ujn Alma this
'morning she found the young girl in
! tears.
t "What ?" she cried, lifting up the
Young girl's face. "Crying? What's the
tnatterT"
: I -U' about John, Miss Irecilla. He
- Vot caught in the Wit at -the mill, and
a is arm is broken : soblied Alma.
, I "That's too bad !" was Miss IViscilla'i
. tommeut. "But be's stout and healthy ;
i ami tiro a en ixnes sisin menu.
1 I "Tea; but it will force him to remain
I Idle for several weeks, and all the uiom-v
that he's saved up to perfect his iuven
lion will besent."
"Oh, I think not.1" said Miss Priscilla
ith one of ber queer little laughs. "I
know a certain young lady w lio might I
lltjle to help nun u sue woutu.
"I tliougla of tliat," said Alma, her
e brightening ; I Kit lately the boys
ave not been able to do as well as for
merly. I have a splendid stock of roses
nd tulips, and pond-lilios on hand, but
no one seems to want them. The great
rrase now is for violets. You never
showed me how to make them, and
when I tried mysvlf they were such
wretched imitations that 1 grew discour
aged and threw them into the fire."
She did not noth that Miss PriscillaV
roiling fi grew suddenly grave, and
that her blue ryes became uicioasly
moiat.
A silence followed Alma's words, w hich
lasted so long that she looked np quickly,
just as the ld smile came back to Mu
IViscilla's face, and she wiped the moist
ure from her eyes.
"tiet your things out," she said in a
voice that trembled in spile of her, "and
IH teach you to make vkdeW adding
mentally, "for love's sake."
After several attempts Alma was able
to make a tolerable fair imitation of a vio
let, and slie resolved to practice all day,
and select an assortment of the best for
the bovs to sell that evening.
Mis Pricilla aid the rest of her visits,
calling finally on the w ounded mechanic,
whom she cheered and emwuraged so
much that be forgot all about his paiu,
and rather accepted the misforttme as a
blessing.
That night she ojiened the bureau
drawer at home, took out the bundle of
yellow letters, and the bunch of faded
violets, and seating herself in front of
Willie's picture, read them all over, cry
ing softly.
"I'm a foolish, sentimental old woman,"
site said at last, and went to bed.
When she called the next day Ujn
Alma, she found the young girl in the
best of spirits.
"lib. Miss Priscilla !" she sai.i, "Uie
violets brought me good fortune. The
Ixiys sold all that I made;, and one
gentleman wanted a pot of me jatjier
violets and Jimmy gave him my ad
dress, and he m coming here this even
ing. There was a knock at the door, and
befor Miss Iriscilla could retreat into
the adjoining room, the door oi-ned.
and a stout, middle-aged man walked in
smiling pleasantly.
" 1 cauie to see aliout the pot of violets
" he la-gan, but wtop-d suddenly,
and stared fixedly at Miss Priscilla's
crimson face.
" Priscilla !" he cried at last, and took
a step towards her, holding out his arms,
" Willie !" siie cried, and with a nob of
joy sprang into his outstretched anus.
" At first Alma was so astonished that
she did not know w hat to do ; but finally
she stole softly from the room, and it was
a half hour lieforeshe heard MissPris
ciila's voice bidding her return.
Miss Priscilla and th stout gentleman
rose as she entered the room.
"Alum," said Miss IWilla, "this is
Mr. (Villiam Arnold, and" blushing
coyly and 1 Hiking up into his t."we
were friends many years ago, .r.d some
day"
"You'll write yourself Mrs. Wm. Ar
nold hey, little woman T' he crid.
"I'm sure I'm very glad," said Alma,
not knowing what else to say.
"Glad?" cried Mr. Arnold; "so you
ought to I'. You've made two people
just a happy as turtle-doves, and I can't
forget that it was your violetstliat brought
alsmt this meeting. 1 went away across
the oi-ean, and they told me that Prise-ilia
Mis Curtis was dead. L of course,
believed it, but I never ceased to think
of her, and when I saw those violets in
your little brother's tray last night, and
remembered how she used to love them,
I determined to get a jiotful that would
always be in bloom."
Well, Mr. William Arnold and Miss
I'riscilla went away together, ami for
days thereafter there were busy prejaira
tions in the little cottage, and finally a
wedding of two people, old in years but
young in heart.
Mr. Arnold interested himself in John
Brainerd and his invention, and assisted
him to get it iwtcnted when it was per
fected. It proved a succesii, and with the mon
ey its sale brought him John and Alma
were married.
So, as Mr. A mold quietly put it, " four
hearts were made happy through a bunch
of jwper violets."
Taking the Baby Home.
It is amusing U olwcrve, and yet the

yet seen. The baby must lie taken to the
various grandpas, grandmas, and uncles

able to travel. This is as it should lie,
but the tendency to unrestraim-d expres

THE OLD SCOUT.
Jim Baker Tells What He Ex
perienced Out West.
" Tliere is just one man living now tliat
I remeinWr as Is-ing here w hen I first
came into this O'untry," said old Jim
Baker last evening; "that is old Sorrel,
a Frenchman, who lives with the Indians
down the Wind River. He is about my
od d age. You see I came here w hen I
was very young. I'd le a young man
now if it wasn't fortlie fact that I was
Mowed all to ph-ees by the bursting of a
gun at a I'te camp, aliout twenty-6ve
miles op Cherry Cretk, in l'.l. And
then I've lately had both shoulders frac
tured trying to drive some of my bron
chi to wagon. But I'm getting Is-tu-r
all the time. Folks think 1 ought to W
a hundred years old, I've lieen here so
long. I didn't like to go to school back
in Illinois when I was a boy, so I ran
awav to St. Louis and joined 1'ripps's
party in the employ of the American fur
coiupany. I enlisted for eighteen months.
We were not enlisted as soldiers are, to
go into liattle regardles, but we agreed
to defend the company's proicrty, and
fight Indians if necessary, lisiking out for
numlw-r one first.
"There were alsjut eighty men in our
party, and we Is-gau hunting and trap
ping la-aver over in the Teton lasin.
This was in ':t, and all this country was
in Mexican territory then. I served my
time out and went hack to Illinois, and
came out again in 71 as a "skin trapper"
for Frappe and Bridger. My outfit was
taken care of horses, traw, eU. and I
was paid $ apiece for bea ver sk ins. They
were worth altout $o a i-omul. It was a
very or uian then who couldn't make
fcil) a day on an average. What diil we
do with the money ? Well, we got rid of
it, you ls-t. Alcohol was a gallon,
but we put in a gallon of water and so
brought the price down to $1(1. Every
thing at the rendezvous that is what
the headquarters were called was sold
by tbe pint. Powder was $3 a pint, cof
fee (11, sugar the same price, and so
on. But a man's grub then was in his
ammunition supply. When I started
out, no matter whether for three lays or
three mouths, I never hsik any grub
along. 1 f;ht and traped all I wanted
to eat. Why, I came near starving sever
al times when the game ran out. Well,
as I was saying, the boys would get rid
of their money drinking and gambling,
and then I've know n some of them to
pay us high as 4."0 for a squaw.
" Miortly after I came out here the sec
ond time we were camped, on the very
creek where I live now Snake river we
called it then and there we had a lively
fight with a party of aliout 5tX) Sioux,
Cheyenne and Arapahoes. The Arapa-Iim-s
didn't do much fighting, but they
urged the others on. There Were twenty
three in our party, and I can give yoir
the names of every one of them. Old
Frappe was in command. The Indians
made aliout forty charges on us, coming
up to within ten or fifteen paces of us
every time. Their object was to draw
our fire, but Old Frapjie kept shouting,
'don't shoot till you're sure. One at a
time.' And so some of us kept loaded
all the time. We made breastworks of
our horses and hid liehiud stumps. Old
Frupjie was killed, and he was the ugliest
loaking dead man I ever saw, and I have
seen a good many. His Hu e was all cov
ered with bl.sxl, and he had rotten front
teeth ami a horrible grin. When he
was killed he never fell, but sat braced
up against the stump, a sight to behold.
Well, w hen the fight was over there was
aliout one hundred dead injuns. There
were three of our party killed."
Baker is one of the most modest men
in the world, and is constantly holding
himself in the background. It is said
that he was one of the grittiest of the de
fenders of the camp in the above battle,
and played no small mrt in the success
of the day. He admitted killing four
redskins that he was positive aliout.
"Were there any other noted men
who iarticipati-d in that battle?'' inquir
ed the reporter.
'Noted nothing," said the grim old
scout abruptly. "I wasn't noted. I was
nothing but a greenhorn.'
After the rejiorU-r liad made profuse j
ajNilogies the old man was induced to '
continue. ,"Well, after that I went off
down to Arizona. There was lot of lea
ver in Arizona in them days. For the
first fifteen or twenty years I was out
here I never stayed more than a week
or soin a phu-e. I never settled down
until '.(, wlien I went to farming over
here on Clear Creek. I knew as much
a! mat farming a the devil does about
running a saw-mill. I oH-ned up a coal
bank and brought in the first coal that
was ever teamed into Denver. It sold
then for from (15 to jilM a ton. In '55 I
was chief scout with old (tcncral Harney
in the first war the United States troops
had with the Sioux Indians. In '73 I
went upon Snake river, where 1 live
now. My shoulders are a little out of
shape so that I can't hold a gun to my
shoulders, but I've got a greyhound that
is a pretty good hunter. He will go out
and run an antelojie down every time I
give him the word.
The old mountaineer is stopping w ith
his friend I. C. Oiikk, Curtis street, for
whom he acted as Indian interpreter
when Mr. (Niks was Ute Indian Agent.
The old man luid Hirticiatcd in In
dian scrimmages innumerable, but was
never seriously wounded except by the
gun bursting as above referred to. He
got all ready to die then, and was pro
ceeding to make his will, when some of
his friends cheered him up w ith the re
mark that he shouldn't give up.
"IVi you think I'd bettor live?" he
asked.
" Why, certainly," was the reply. "You
are gsl for a long time yet."
"AVell, then, 111 live," said the old
frontiersman, and he did, though he still
has a deformed jaw, somewhat hidden
by his stubby gray Is-ard.
The hI.1 man is a type of the frontiers
man of the Leatlrerstoeking order, a class
often read alxmt but seldom seen in these
days honest and modest, perfectly un
assuming. Hi parting admonition was;
" Now, don't go and write me up a one
of the greatest men in the country, for I
aint. IVm't make a foil of me, for I
won't stand it. I've never liad any Sun
days or holidays. Wlien I've felt like
doing anything, I've done it, regardless
of days. Now I am rest ing and taking
it easy."

When Animals Roar.
Tliere is an almost universal belief that
tlie lion roars when he is hungry, and in
a wild state in seach of prey, but the
writer ventures to say that, like the bear's
hug and other almost proverbial expres
sions of the kind, the idea is altogether
erroneous. Probably certain verse in
the Bible, more especially in the Psalmsr
such as the lions roaring after their prey,"
Ac, and passages of a similar nature have
given rise to this impression. But, let it
be asked, would so cunning an animal as
the lion, w hen hungry and in search of
his dinner, betray his approach and (Hit
every living creature within miles of the
s thoroughly on the ipii rid', by mak
ing the forest echo again with his roar
ing? Assuredly not; for a more certain
method of scaring his prey he could not
possibly adopt. All quadrupeds, more
especially tlie deer tribe, well know and
dread the voi of their natural enemy.
Even domestic animals instinctively rec
ognize and sfiow tear on hearing the cry
of a fid 1 least. In India the sportsman
when out in camp during the hot weath
er months often finds himself far away
from towns and villages, in some wild
sHrt in the depths of tlie jungle. Here
the stillness of the night is constantly
broken by the calls of various creatures
inhabiting the neighboring forest the
deep, solemn h(it of the horned owl,
the sharp call of the spotted deer, or the
louder bell of the sambur. But these fa
miliar sounds attract no notice from the
domestic animals included in tlie camp
circle. But should a panther on tlie op
ptwito hill call his mate, or a prowling ti
ger passing along tlie river bank mutter
his complaining night moan, they one
and all immediately show by their de
meanor that they recognize the cry of a
beast of prey. The old elephant chained
up beneath the tamarind tree stays for a
moment swaying his great body back
ward ami forward, and listens attentive
ly. His neighbor, a gray Arab horse,
with pricked up ears, gazes uneasily in
the direction the sound appeared to come
from, while the dogs, just before lying
panting and motionless in the moonlight,
spring to their feet with bristling back
and lowered tail, and with growls of fear
disapiear under the tent near by.
ConVr' JuurnaL
A Western Tornado. ,
"One July night," said a tall Western
man, " I had my wheat all stacked ready
for threshing, and went to bed feeling as
rich as if I owned the country. Aliout
midnight, as near as I can recollect, I
heard a clap of thunder, ami then the
house lx-gan to ns-k like a willow tree.
Then everything was quiet for a little
w;hile, and I went to sleep. Early the
next morning my wife got up and looked
out of the window.
" 4 John," said she, ' Where on earth is
your wheat ?
"' What?' said I, jumping out of bed,
' What's that you say T
" ' Where's the wheat ?'
"I looked out of tlie window, too, ami
stranger, I saw tlie most remarkable sight
I ever saw. There wasn't a graiu of wheat
within a mile of me, and tliere
wasn't a remnant of a barn. My barn
yard was gone, the horse, the cows,
and even the pigs were gone. I got dress
ed and walked out door. The place was
chuuged, stranger changed in a single
night. My house was sitting in a garden
by the side of a creek. There w as a new
barn in the yard, some red cows mine
were hite ; some black pigs mine were
spotted, and instead of wheat there was
the alfiredest stack of cornstalks you ever
looked at, I thought at first I was dream
ing and asked my w ife to kick me, but I
wasn't. About breakfast time some neigh
bors came iu ami asked w here Mr. Jones
w as. I never heard of him.
"'He used to live here,' they said.
' He lived here last night,'
" Then I told them of the crash and the

Woman's Best Friend.
A hairpin is a woman's best friend. It
fits a multiplicity of uses and she is
never without one. If her hair is short
you can dejs-nd upon it that down in a
recess of her purse or a pocket of her ret
icule you will tiud the hairpin. If she
buttons her shoes! she uses her hairpin,
and w ho ever saw a woman button her
gloves with anything else? If hei head
itches, does she scratch it with her finger?
Nonsense ! She whips out a hairpin and
relieves herself. Supjiose a nickle lias
drop?d between the bars of the wooden
fiK gate in the street car. loes she soil
her fingers as a man would, and then not
get it? Certainly not. Out comes the
hairpin, and the coin is lifted without
trouble. If she eats a nut d.s-s she take
a nut-pick? The hairpin again. It is
with a hairpin that she rips ojien uncut
leaves of a book or magazine ; it is a
hairpin with which she marks her pro
gress in her favorite liook ; if a trunk key
is missing, a hairpin ojK'iis the refractory
hick as a burglar's skeleton key would ;
with it she cleans her finger nails, and, if
it is a clean one, even picks her teeth.
And the feats of hair securing that she
will make a simple bow-legged hairpin
accomplish nearly surpa-j the lielief of
man. Altogether, it deserves to he class
ed among the great inventions of the
world, and the grave of the original man
who created the first one could have no
prouder epitaph than this: "That is the
kind of a hairpin he was."

Too Surprising.
A very large man, a desperate fellow
who had often boasted that he could not
be whipped, became involved in a quar
rel with a small man. Well, after the
right was over, a friend of the desperate
iuuu said:
" Why, Abe, he tore you all to pieces."
" V-a-s."
" Mopped up the township with you."
"That's what."
" Bit off one of your ears."
. That's what he done."
" Kuined your clothes.
"Y-a-s."
" Pulled one of your eyes out"
"B'l'evehedi.L"
" Knocked out a couple of teeth."
Beckon you're right."
" lie don't weigh a hundred pounds,
either."
, " Don't b'l'eve he does."
" I siipuse you liate to be whipped 7"
" Oh, no, BilL 1 dou't mind beinn'
whupped ; ken stand to loose my ears an'
teeth, but there's one thing about the af
fair that makes me mad."
- W hat's that, Abe T
" W'y, the surprise o' the thing. I reck
on I hate 'sloiiisliuient wus than any man
iu tlie world. W'y, I thought ! could
whule'tiuit feller with one hand even,
but I was never more 'stouished in my
life. W'y, the way that fool feller lit,
shocked me 'stouished me, I tell you.
Oh, no, i don't mind the whuppin' but,
Billy, w'y didn't he do it gracefully, so I
wouldn't uv been so s'prised. X don't
like that feller." Arkuiuaw TrtmUr.
Hay Fever.
Ely's Cream Balm was recoiumendtl
to me by my druggist as a preventative
to hay fever. Have lieen using it as di
rected and have found it a siiecific for
tlmt much dreaded and loathsome dis
ease. For ten years or more 1 have been
a great sufferer each year, from August
ML till frost, and have tried many alleg
ed remedies for its cure, but Ely's Cream
Balm is the only preventative I have
ever found. Hay fever sufferers ought
to know of its ellicacy. F. B. Ainsworth,
of F. B. Ainsworth & Co., Publishers,
Indianapolis, Ind.
Comfort to Tobacco Smokers.
IVobably men of sedentary huliits who
smoke much are very moderate drinkers.
He who takes tobacco because he likes
the flavor, aud funis the use refreshing
and soothing is not likely to take to
wine or other strong drinks in any quan
tity. I do not mean that he will not con
sume them togetiier , that no man capa
ble of appreciating either will ever do.
How sad soever be the errors we have
fallen into, at least we no longer share
Mine. Purjr.inti's confusion of mistaking
tuliaeco for a "concomitant of claret."
But the virtue of each lam not think
ing of those who use them merely from
habit, or Is-cause others do, or for a pure
ly senstuii pleasure the virtue of each is,
1 fancy, a little marred by an adherence
to both. And where the question is not
one of virtue, but of sheer fancy or grati
fication of the apietite, even he who can
afford to indulge those delights will lie
wise Ut make a choice. At the time I
l-ak of there was not much smoking ;
cigars were not much in fashion. The
Jiestilent heresy of the cigarette was not
yet dreamed of ; the wilier pile was
mostly. used, generally in that form best
known as a " long clay," and taken se
dately after work was over, as a whole
some aid to reflection. Xo doubt there
were exceptions, men who fuddled them
selves over pipes aud spirits, or ln-er ; but,
broadly speaking, the use pf tobacco then
was the exception rather than the rule,
certainly among the upper classes of soci
ety, and both stomach and brain were
thus better able to support the tax laid
upon them. McMrlhin't Miujiuinf.

According to the testimony of physi

cough syrup, containing morphia, opium
