After the stove-pipe had been knocked
down by tho efforts of Givcadam Jones to
rest both his feet on tho hearth at once,
and Judge Cadaver, Pickles Smith and
Blossom Johnson had heroically restored
it to place. Brother Gardner "arose and
said:

TUB COWBOY'S ORDER. '
A typical cowboy, fresh from bis herd,
went in Elitch's chop houso last night.
The tables were all tilled with the ex
ception of one, at which the terror of
the plains seated himself. As he pulled
oil his hat and untied the red bandanna
handkerchief from around his throat, ho
looked disdainfully around.
The nimble waiter brushed an imagin
ary bread crumb from the cloth, whisked
a bill of fare from the castor, and placed
it before tho festive and untamed youth.
'Take it away," he snarled. "1 can't
at that. I want rattlesnake on toast!"
"itattlesnake on toast!" yelled the
waiter.
"Hattlesuake on toast 1" responded the
cook.
There was a slight flutter among the
guests at this strange order, and the cow
boy was scanned by many curious eyes.
He looked a little disconcerted at
having his order so promptly taken, and
glanced furtively toward the front of
the house. He saw the cooks and wait
ers cugaged in filling orders, and looking
as solemn as graveyards after midnight.
lie assumed a nonchalant air and picked
his teeth with his fork.
A cook deftly removed the bkin from
u pickerel, and, cutting a strip the proper
bhape, placed it iu a npider.
The waiter who hud taken the order
came tripping back to the bold bucca
neer of the pampas.
"Will you have your snake well done
or rare?"
"Rare, with oodles of milk ltuvv on
it."
"Gimme that snake rare milk gravy
on the side," was hallood to the cook.
"Snake rare, milk gravy bide," cook
shouted back.
"Say!" said tho bovine steerer, as the
waiter passed him. "I'll take it "ell
done."
"Make it well dono."
"Make it well done," was answered
back.
The lariat wrestler began to grow ner
vous. The devil-may-care expression had
left his eyes, antt a boft, subdued, melan
choly shade had taken its place. He
fidgeted in his chair, and seemed to bo
nerving himself for uu ordeal.
"Hero you are, sir," suid the culinary
Ganymede, placing a dish iu wliich was
something nicely coiled, which looked
like a fried specimen of the genus crota
lus. '-Have a little Worcester sauce?
Gives a very fine flavor. Some folks like
mushrooms with their snakes, others pre
fer Chili colorow. A little salad dress
ing don't go bad. There's vinegar and
olive oil in the caster. Will you have tea
or coffee? Very fine snake; caught yester
day. Fat and tender."
When the waiter was delivering him
self of this eulogy on tho meal, the steer
puncher shoved his chair back. His
eyes bulged out, and he became paW
round the gills.
"I don't think I'll cat anything. I ain't
hungry," ho said, as he rose to his feet
and reached for his hut.
"Maybe you'd prefer b: ilud moccasin,"
insinuatingly suggested the waiter.
".No," hu replied, us the ashen pallor
deepened on his face. "1 ain't a bit hun
gry." He cast another glance at the dish
ho had ordered, and made a break for the
door. He forgot to pay at the counter.

"Well, you see, last night we got to
tulking ubout haunted houses, and pa
Suid there was no such tiling' ahauuted
house. He mid whenever auy unusual
uoise was heard in a house, insteuj of in
vestigating it, people got bturtVl and
went around tulking about the Voubc
houso was ruined, and everybody was
nervous. Ta' said that haunted house
was on a pnr with spiritualism, and peo
ple of ictiso never took any stock in
cither. Ho said if I ever heard of a
haunted houso, to let him know and
ho would 0 through it and inves
tigate it in the dark. I thought to my
self, 'boss, you can't fool Hennery,'
and I laid for pa. That evening my
chum's cat came over to visit our cat,
and when it was time to go to bed the
two cats were sleeping by tho stove, and
pa told me I better put the cats out doors
and go to bid. So I took tho cats up
carclully and raised up tho cover to the
pinny, and laid the cats down in the
back side of tho instrument, among tho
strings, and potted them, and they went
to sjeep, and I shut down the cover, nnd
we all went to bed. Pa and ma sleep
right over the parlor, and I sleep at the
back of tho house. Along about 2
o'clock in tho morning, about the time
cats usually get woke up nnd begin to
prowl around, there was a faint scratch
ing of toe-nails on the strings, and a
yowl, that sounded as though it came
from the sewer. It wa9 evidently music,
such as you get at boarding-houses where a
boarder practices on the piano for her
board. I listened, and pretty soon there
was two 'moons' and a 'spit,' and the
strings acted as though they were being
walked on tho way a cat does when she
puts her paws up in your lap and lets her
too nails go through your pnnts. I got
up and went to pa's room, and ma was
setting up in bed with her nightcap off,
her hair standing right up straight, and
she was trying to get pa to raise up and
listen, but it wasn't pa's night to listen,
and he put his head under tho bed
clothes and tried to snore, but I knew
pa was scared. I told pa that 1 wasn't
afraid, but I wished he would let me
sleep on the lounge iu his room, and pa
raised up and wanted to know what the
row was, and just then the cats in
the piano seemed to have come
together for their regular even
ing tight, nnd of all the music you ever
heard, that bent everything. Pa listened
and said that it was somebody nest door
trying to play opera, but ma said some
thing was in tho house, and I told pa
the house was haunted, and for him to
get up and investigate. Pa was kind of
'shamed to be afraid, so ho got up, and
all was still, and he got his pants on and
went out in the hall, and just then tho
cats got to fighting another round, and
pa rushed into the bath-room and
closed the door, and yelled for me to
open the window and holler for the po
lice. I got up and asked pa, through tho
door, if he was afraid, but he thought,
seeing he was in the bath-room be would
take a bath, and . I told him if he
was afraid I would go down and investi
gate, because there was no haunted houso
that had any terror for Hennery, and I
went down and let the cats out, and they
got on the back fence and had a real so
ciable time, and after it was all still pa
came out with a' towel iu his hand and
tried to make us believe he had taken a
bath at two o'clock in the morning with
cold water. I don't think it is right for
a father to try to deceive his little boy
that way. Pa must have washed himself
real hard, for ho was pale as a ghost when
he camo out of the bath-room, but he was
paler still in the morning when he found
tho piano full of cat hair. He thinks the
air from tho register blew into the piuno."

A Well-Known Type of Man.
In Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera,
"Princess Ida," one of the characters
King. Gama introduces himself in . a
song which capitally describes a charac
ter found in every community. We give
the song:
If yon give me your attention ! will toll you
what I am:
I'm a genuine philanthropist all other kinds
are sham.
Each lit t'.e fault of temper and eaoh social
detect
lu my erring fellow creature! I endeavor to
correct.
To all their little weaknesses I open people's
eyes,
And little plans to snub the self-suflleient I
devise;
I love my fellow creatures, I do all tho good
I cau,
Yet everybody says I'm such a disagreeable
man !
An 1 1 cau't think why !
To compliments inflated I've a withering re
ply, And vanity I always do my bast to mortify;
A charitable action I can skilfully dissect,
And interested motives I'm delighted to de
tect; I know everybody's income and what every
body earns,
And I carefully compare it with the income
tax returns;
But to benetit humanity, however much I
plun.
Vet everyboJy says I'm such a disagreeable
mun !
And I cau't think why 1
Irresolution.
Irresolution is a fatal habit; it is not
vicious in itself, but it leads to vice,
creeping upon its victims with a fatal
facility, tho penalty of which many a
fine heart has paid at the scaffold. The
idler, tho spendthrift, the epicure, and
tho drunkard are among its victims.
Perhaps in the latter its effect appears in
the most hideous form. He knows that
the goblet he is about to drain is poison,
yet he swallows it. He knows for the
example of thousands has painted it in
glaring colors that it will deaden all his
faculties, take tho strength from his
heart, oppress him with disease, and hur
ry his progress to a dishonored gravo, yet
he drains it. How beautiful, on the con
trary, is the power of resolution, enabling
the one who possesses it to pass through
perils end dangers, trials and tempta
tions! Avoid the contraction of the
habit of irresolution. Strive against it
to the end.
"What's the News."
In the Cook county (Illinois) normal
school at Englewood, near Chicago, we
learn from a Chicago paper, "in the
morning, when school opens, the princi
pal informally inquires tho news of the
day, and they tell him the oucial, politi
cal, commercial news they have found in
tho morning paers, which is briefly
commented upon, after which they go
cheerily to their work." This system
appea-s to be well calculated to train
pupils to answer tho common question,
"What's tho news?" It will also train
pupils to take and read the papers, and
to be intelligent about what is going on
iu the world daily. This sort of intelli
gence is undoubtedly very useful, and
will have u broad bearing upon tiiitcvaJ

A MYSTERY OF THE SEA.
Th r Whleh OTfrlonU the "flfT nfTtoo
lnn"- ftpmln Murray's Iitfiaa nnd b
ncrlritre.
A few yenrs aro, the City ot Boston sailed
from harbor, crowdexl with an expectant
throng of passengers lound for a foreign
shore.
She never entered port.
The myd'ery of lior untimely end irrows
deeper ns the years increase, nnd the Atlantic!
voynger, Whin tho fierce winds howl n round
and danger i imminent on every hand, shud
ders n the name htU mysterious fate of thnt
magnificent vessel are alluded to.
Our reporter! on a recent Visit tii NeW
York, took luiieh witH Captain Ueotge Siil
tlong Murray, on beard the Alaska, Of the
Uuion line. Captain Murray is a man of
stalwart build, well-knit franiB and cheery,
genial disfKmition. He has been a Constant
voyager for a quarter of a century, over half
of that timo having bn in the trans-Atlantic
service. In the conme of the conversation
over the well-spread table, the ruystory of
the City of Boston was alluded to.
"Yes," remarked the captain, 'T shall
never forget the last night we saw that ill
fated vessel. Iwaichief cftleer of tho City
of Antwerp, On the day we sighted the
City of Bmton a furious southeast hurricane
set in. Both vessels labored hard. The sea
seemed determined to sweep away every ves:
tige of life. When day ended the gale did
not abate, and everything was lashed for a
night ot unusual fury. Our good ship was
turned to the south to avoid the
possibility of iceberg. The City of Boston,
however, undoubtedly Went to the
north, tier boats, life-proservera and rafts
were all securely lushed ; and when she went
down, everything went with her, never to re
appoAr until the sea gives up its dead."
"What, in your opinion, captain, was the
cause of the loss of the City of Bnton?"
"The City of limerick, in almost precisely
the same latitude, afewdavs later, found the
sea full of floating ice: end I have no doubt
the City of Boston collided with the ice, and
sunk immediately."
Captain Murray has been in Command of
the Alaska ever since she was put in oommi.
fciou, and feels justly proud of his noble ship.
She carries thousands of passengers every
year, and Una greatly popularized the Wil
liams & Quion lines. Remarking upon the
bronzed and healthy appearance of the cap
tain, the reporter taid that sea lite did not
teem to be a very great physical trial.
" No I But a person s appearance is not
always a trustworthy indication of his physi
cal condition. For seven years I have been
in many respects very much out of sorts with
myself. At certain times I was so lame that
it "was difficult for me to move around. I
could scarcely straighten up. I did not know
what the trouble was, and though I per
formed all my duties regularly and satisfac
torily, yet I felt that I might some
day be overtaken with some serious pros
trating disorder. These troubles increased.
I felt dull and then, again, shooting pains
through mv ar s and limbs. Possibly the
next day I would feel flushed and unaccount
ably uneasy and the day following chilly and
despondent. This continued until last De
cember, when I was prostrated soon after
leaving Queenstown, and for the remainder
of the voyage was a helpless pitiful sufferer.
In January lost, a friend who made that
voyage with me, wrote me a letter, urghig
me to try a new course of a treatment. 1
gladly accepted his counsel, and for the last
seven months have given thorough and busi
ness-like attention to the recovery ot my nat
ural health ; and to-day, 1 have the proud sat
isfaction of Raving to you that the lame back,
the strange feelings, the sciatic rheumatism
which have so long pursued me, have entirely
disappeared through the blood purifying In
fluence of 'Warner's Safe Bhoumatic Cure
wh ch entirely eradicated all rheumatic pois
on from my system. Inded, to me, it se ms
that it has worked wonders, and I therefore
most cordially command it."
"And you have no trouble now in exposing
yourself to the winds of the Atlantic!"
"Ifot the least. I am as sound as a bullet
and I feel specially thankful over the fact
because I believe rueumatio aud kidney dis
ease is in the blood of my family. 1 was
drea i fully shocked on my lost arrival in Liv
erpool to learn that my brother, who is a
wealthy China tea merchant, had suddenly
died ot Bright's disease of the kidneys, and
consider myself extremely fortunate in hav
ing taken my trouble in time and before any
more terious effects were possible."
The conversation driltid to other topics,
and as the writer watched the face before
him, so strong in all its outlines and yet so
genial, and thought of the innumerable ex
jo. uresand hardships to which its owner had
been exposed, he instinctively wished all who
are suffering from the terrible rheumatic
troublesnowsocommon might know of cap
Murray's experience and the means by which
ho bad been restored. Pain is a common
thing in this world, but far too many endure
it when they might just as well avoid it. It
is a iaL-e philosophy which teaches use to
endure when we can just as readily avoid.
So thought the hearty captain of the Alaska,
so thinks the writer and so should all others
think who desire happiness and ji long life.

best medical tnlent obtainable, and at the
w-oint staj;e of my illness, when tnv husband
nnd ninny friends hnd given me up to die.thn
lute Dr. .Ipliu Woodbury made a thorough
examination tff tuy wtor, nnd pronounced
my enso acute kidney dtorSHp, b irdering on
Hright's disense, and nccompnniod fcy gravel,
mid recommended thn immediate u of
hint's Remedy. At t his time I was suffering
most terrible pain in my bnck, limbs, and
head, and could find no rest day or night for
weeks, nnd 1 was growing weaker dnilv until
this kind phrsleinfl ordered me to tike Hunt's
Homedy. Jtefore fciKiiig half of one bottle I
commenced to fiiiproVef ml ifter taking sil
bottles was entirely cured; This Wn nearly
eight years ago, and I hnve had no r'twrn wf
the disease. 1 hnve rec immended Hunt's
Homedy to others in similar castes, nnd it has
never failed to oure. 1 hnve also used it for
sick headache',- ami found iu it a sure relief.
I think it the best medicine made, aud che T
fully recommend it to nil.

I have used Hunt's ltemedy lor the kidney
complaint, and, having been fully restored to
health by its use, I can testify to its value.
Daily I recommend it to some one of my
fr.ends.all of whom I know have been bene
Jlted by its use. Gratefully,

restore gray hair to ite nnt urnl color, and pro

does not in any manner affect the health,
which sulphur, fugar of lead and nitrate ui
