Chick Is one of tho best guides In the mountains. They were waiting for a Fhot at n deer. Mr. Cleveland sat on a log with the muzzle of his gun resting against his heart. "Chick saw where the gun was nnd fairly yelled, 'Here, you blamed old fool. Is that gun loaded?' " 'I guess It Is,' Mr. Cleveland re plied, humbly. "Chick grabbed tho gun, and found It nt full cock. Then ho turned Indig nantly to Mr. Cleveland and said, 'Sup pose that gun had gone oft nnd you had killed yourself, what do you think would have happened to me? Blame you, don't you know I'm a republi can!' " CORTELYOU'S START IK LIFE. "Thei'o Is n man out In Otttimwa, Iowa a quiet citizen retired from ac tive life who by a very small act turned George K. Covtelyou into the path which has led him steadily up to tho present remarkable career," says the New York Commercial Advertiser. "This man was entering the otHce of his brother in New York one day when ho narrowly missed colliding with n young man whoso seemingly desper ately discouraged Ftnte of mind made him careless of his direction. When the gentleman stepped Into tho offlco he questioned his brother ns to whnt he had done to the young man to cause him to be so downhearted. "'I did nothing,' was the answer, 'except to tell him that I had nothing tor him to do. He nppllod for work. " 'What con he do?' " 'He Is a stenographer.' ' 'Send your office hoy after him Im mediately,' which was very quickly done, nnd young Cortelyou (for he it was) stood before tho two men. 'You are a stenographer?' was asked him. 'Yes, sir.' " 'How soon can you go to work?' 'This minute.' " 'All right. Hurry right over to the Tostofflce Department. They are In need of a stenographer badly. I think you will be In time to get the plnce.

Gilbert, who hns Just cele brated his slsty-ylxth birthday, has been n writer of plays for more than fifty years. When ie was at school at Ealing he wrote, stage-managed and painted tho scenery of several, plays which were acted by his schoolfellows. One of these was a melodrama named "Guy Fawkes," and In this the stage manager played the principal part. At tho age of nineteen the fighting in stinct possessed him, and be began to read for tho army, but changed his plans upon tho close of the Crimean War. The immense success of the Gil bert and Sullivan series of comic op eras was due in probably more than half measure to Gilbert's clover sat ires. HOW MAETERLINCK IS PRONOUNCED. In connection with Harper & Broth ers' publication of "Monmi Vanna," tho much discussed Maeterlinck dra ma, n question hns arisen as to the pronunciation of the Belgian author's name. The correct way Is "Milliter link," not Mayterlink or Metterliuk, as it Is variously called. The French pro nounce it Mayterlink, becauta tho sound of no in French is "n," but in Belgian French the no Is pronounced "ah." Maeterlinck is n Belgian, hav ing been born at Ghent In 18(14. Ho hns been Btyled "The Belgian Shakes peare." It was In 1890 that ho first be came famous, upon tho production in Torls of his play "La rrincesso Ma lelne." A SITUATION UNEQUALED IN FICTION There is a story which Sir F.dward Ma let recalls of a situation hardly equalled in fiction. A certain cardinal at an evening party, vfhen pressed by an ' admiring circle of women to say whether be had ever received any startling confessions, replied that the tlwt person who bad come to him after be had taken orders desired absolution for a murder which be confessed to having committed. A gcutlo shudder ran through the frames of the audi ence. This waa turned to consterna tion when, ten minutes Inter, nn elderly marquis entered tho apartment and eagerly claimed acquaintance with the cardinal. "But I see your eminence does not remember me," be said, "You will do so when I remind you that I waa tho first person who confessed to you after you entered the senlee of the church." MR. CLEVELAND'S REBUFF. Ex-rresldent Cleveland used to fish and huut a good deal lu the Uaruegnt Bay district. Jchn Cauiburu, a Wara- town guide, snys that one cold, wet night Mr. Cleveland got lost. He wan dorcd through the mud and rain and darkness for more than two hours, but not n house could he sec, not a light, not a road. Finally, though, he ftruek n narrow lane nnd In due course a house ap peared. Mr. Cleveland wns cold and tired; he thought ho would go no fur ther. So ho banged at the door till ;l window on tho second floor went up nnd a gruff voice said: "Who are you?" "A friend." said Mr. Cleveland meekly. "What do you want?" "To stay here nil night." "Stay there, then." And the window descended with n bang and Mr. Cleveland, shouldering Ills gun again, rosumcd his Journey wearily. CARNEGIE PRACTICES BEING POOR. Although Andrew Curnegio an nounced some time ago that ho pro posed to give away his Immense for tune, probably no ono took him so seri ously as to suppose that he actually meant to Impoverish himself. Now, however, we have an assurance from the millionaire himself that he menus to die n really poor man, and tho Lairr of Skibo is practicing a lot of littlv economies with tho object ol accus toming himself to count the pennies when It becomes necessary for him to do so. For instance, since the corridor car has become a familiar emiipnient on tho English railway trains, Mr. Car negie always travels third clnss, ex cept when he Is accompanied by his wife nnd daughter, then he goes first On n recent occasion when ho wns coming south he was met accidentally on the platform at Carlisle by a former ncqnlntnncp, who had accumulated some wealth through kindly tips given to him from time to time by Mr. Car negie. This gentleman was on his way to London, too, and was delighted at the prospect of having his friend and benefactor as n companion for the re mainder of the Journey to town. As he wns alone ho asked Mr. Carnegie if ho would share his saloon, but beforo be had time to tveeive an answer, the gunrd's Hag Indicated that they must take their seats, when Carnegie with out ceremony disappeared lino a third class compartment. At the next stop ping place Cnrncrio was again out on the platform, and his friend, approach ing him, remarked in a tone of re monstrance: "Why in the name of goodness do you ride in that iiir.y old cattle box?" "Cattle are not always to be de spised, my friend," Mr. Carnegie, re plied sharply; "they are of more vahio to the huniaii species than many of the men I have come across in my career. Besides," ho added, "I cannot expect to give my money away without some thing uppronehins a corresponding value, and as I am as comfortable ns I care to lie in third-clans compartment, I do not see why I slioul.t give myself the habit of Indulging in unnecessary luxury. I am going to dlo a poor man, and I must try in tha meaiuime to acclimate myself to tho new condi tions." HE WAS NOT BOTHERED AGAIN. Si:- Ernest Cnssel, tho London mer chant prince, who gave ?1,00!).000 to ward the campaign against consump tion, has n dry humor, but only occa sionally gives reign to it in business hours. At one period of tho tma when ho was building up his vast fortune, ho was annoyed several times by a boy who wanted a placo In his office. . "Did you see that boy who was just In here?" asked Sir Ernest of his office boy ono day after the persistent appli cant had made another plea for work. "I saw him," said the boy. "What does he want?" "Well. ' said tho mer chant, "he wants your situation, and If I ever bco him again he will get It." The hint was sufficient, for the mel chant never saw the pest again. THE KAISER AS A FATHER. Although the Emperor William of Germany has six sons ai:d only one daughter, ho has always had strong views of tho training oZ his one girl. "It is better that a woman should know how to niako n pancako than that she should be able to discuss constitutional questions." Emperor Wil liam once said to n court lady to cm phaslzo tho kind of woman his wife, the Empress of Germany, is. Tho Emperor did not exaggerate for the sake of illustration. Tho Empress can bake aud sew aud tend babies, and her reputation as n housewife is main tained by six hearty young men and n charming little princess, who revere her. They were all reared along the same lines, which were never relaxe' AN ADJIIRAL'S NEW AMBITION. Ilear-Admiral J. A. Howell, of the United States Navy, popularly kuown ns the "father of the modern torpedo," because of his Invention of that engine of war, is credited by the Toronto Sat urday Night with knowing why he married a piece of knowledge which some unmnrrled persons seem to re gard no uncommon. It was generally believed that he was wedded to the science of warfare, and It was a surprise to the entire Navy when he married a charming woman. A number of years after his marriage a fellow-olBeer visited Admiral How ell, and saw the children of the distin guished sailor playing about the house. "It's like a dream, old man!" said tho visitor. "We never thought of you getting married. How did you happen to think about it?" "Oh," replied Admiral Howell, glanc ing affectionately at bis children at play, "I got tired of being referred to merely as the 'father of the modern torpedo.'

V. & D w 1ST0, and but a few years ff ""i after the Custer massacre. fc!)ieK Long l'olnt, on tho eastern bauk of the Missouri, opposite Fort Yates, Is black nnd blue, yellow and red, green nnd dirty white, with a ka leidoscopic crowd of Sioux to whom the butchery of six score huge steers strongly appeals. In the centre of the throng rises tl'.e fence of til killing corral, "ten-log high." Animals maddened by rille shooting, blood, yells and waving blan kets need n strong enclosure If they are to be done to death without intiictlng reprisals. At that day nnd date the Indians were allowed to shoot a fortnight's supply of cattle themselves. Later, soldiers were detailed for tho work In order to abate cruelty to the animals nnd danger to all residents within the radius cf a mile. After the steers were down Iudlnns by the score would leap nto the sanguinary arena, cut the tongues from the quivering carcasses, nnd sometimes regale themselves on a mass of coagulated blood. After such a meal a Sioux brave was unprctty. On the morning lu question It was ev ident to the agent nnd his employes, whoso presence nt tho killing was necessary to secure n proper allotment of the beef ns between tribes and fam ilies, that something more than usually exciting wns affecting the Indian. There were four tribes of Sioux at Standing Bock Lower Yanktonnnls, Upper Yanktonnuls, Unenpapa, Black feet and generally these mixed togeth er without thought of tribal relations or Jealousies, as do nationalities on Broadway. This day, however, the Uncnpapas and the Blaekfeet were di vided, and oven to the inexperienced eye were hostile. Having finished tho distribution of the divided carcasses, and sick with Klghts, sounds and smells that told of nothing but brutality and savagery, tho agent was about to take a boat across the Missouri when sundry fierce war whoops bade him pause on top of the corral fence and look Interestedly whence they came, and where, 100 yards away, fully 400 Indians, men. women nnd children, were rapidly sep arating into two groups with u luuo fifty feet wide between them. THE DANCE OF HEATH. Into tho head of this lane danced n bronzed figure, thrusting uloft a double barrelled shotgun and yelling nt tho to) of bis voice. At the foot appeared n quieter but no less ferocious warrior armed with a Winchester rlllo of tho old magazine type, calibre .15. How were they dressed? Not at all, unless you call a coup feather each, s:mu dabs of yellow, green and blue paint on hair parting, cheekbone and brrast. and a very much abbreviated and visibly soiled breech cloth a toilet. Their wonted garb had been hastily dolled. By this time the farmer of tle agen cy, Wahlrof by name, and an old stager nn the plains, had climbed to a seat be side the agent, and In a rather uninter ested tone said: "Guess them fellers intends to do some shootin' to kill. There's bad blood 'tween 'em for inor'ii u yenr. Now they're going to try to let somo of it out." "Do you mean that It Is n duel? asked the astonished agent, a distinct tenderfoot, by tho way. "Zactly what I do mean," responded tho farmer. "And of you'll wait nbout two mlnues you'll see some passiu' in of cheeks." "I conceive It to bo my duty to put n stop to this outrage," was the agent's comment. "Why, bless my soul, it's murder." "I coneeve it to be my duty," retort ed tho farmer, "to purvent any slch blame fool proeeedlu' 'ceptln' you're plum anxious to furnish tho corpse yourself. Man, ninu! It would be death for a white man to git between them two now." As the tnrmer, to emphasize his pro test, seized the agent's arm In an un shakable grasp, the only thing remain ing was to watcli the proceedings with such composure us could ho vouchsafed to ono who had left tho Atlantic sea board but a few short weeks before. Whilo the conversation between the farmer and the agent was proceeding the Indian opponents had been dancing forward and back along tho lano and across it in zigzag fashion for all the world ns If they were "setting to part ners" in nn. old-fashioned conlra-dauce, THE WOMAN IN IT. The man withtheshotgun was named Crooked-Neck, and ho was a Blackfoot, while his opponent, nn Uucapapa, usu ally called Shaven-Head, was a noted icout in the employ of the Government, and appeared on the rolls ns Ususuppt ("Good-Toned Metal.") Their hostility grew out of the fact that Shaven-Head bad stolen Crooked-Neck'a favorite wife, nnd tho immediate outbreak arose out of whnt some of Bhnven Head's people claimed was an unfulr allotment of beef. , Of the two Shaven-Head looked far the more dangerous, while Crooked Neck did the most yelling. . Possibly the latter felt his disadvantage. His ten-gauge was loaded with buckshot, rammed bard euougn to scatter at the end of the hundred yards more or less that separated the fighters, but ho bad two shots as against the fifteen Shaven-Head had at his command lu the barrel or the mugazlne of bla Winches ter. Suddenly Shaven-TIead stopped ca pering, drew bla rifle to his shoulder, fired and missed. While be was throw ing a cartridge from magazine to bar rel Crooked-Neck ran toward him to within eighty yards and let fly with one barrel. Ho got resulta. Aa is usual with the Sioux Shaven Head (wore Ma balr In two long" queues, one resting In front of each shoulder. On of these waa amputated, ,Joe to the acaip, by Crooked-Neck'a snot, and a Hay atrMU of blood that mtom ahoyved HAD TO DIE 3 Itfelf on Shaven-Head's breast proved that the skin at least had been abrased. Again the yelling nnd the dancing, accompanied, be It well understood, by the yells of spectators whose savage blond was fairly boiling with exclto menr. The shrieks of the squaws held a peculiarly appalling note, and high above tho unmusical clamor could bo heard the long continued scream of the bone of contention the wife Shaven Head had stolen from his opponent. She was easily the prima donna of this opera of discords, aud dominated tho savage chorus. HIS LAST SHOT. Crooked-Neck now had hut one shot left. If he missed he was at the mercv of his antagonist, and mercy, strained or unstrained, had no part in Shaven- Head's makeup. The shotgun lighter seemed to redouble his activity, and be. yond question made of himself nn ex ceedingly difficult target. Three times the Winchester spoke apparently with out effect, although later It was discov ered that ono bullet had gone through tho upper muscles of Crooked-Neck's left leg. Of course, Shaven-Head was doing some ground and lofty steps on his own account, thus disarranging his aim. The end camo suddenly. Shaven Head pretended to stumble and fell partially forward. Instantly Crooked Neck lired his remaining barrel, but fired it ut tho air. Tho I'ncapapa had side-stepped in n fashion that would have made t'orbett green with envy. Seeing that he had missed, Crooked Neck turned to run, but after him in long leaps came his foe. Two shots in quick succession and Crooked-Neck was on the ground, a corpse. The fatal bullet went through his brain, and he was shot from the rear a detail, by tho way, which gave his friends little concern. If these ('.ucllists had been white the spectacular part of the affair would have ended with tho death of one or other of tho contestants. Not so with tne savage Sioux. Before any one could have counted five the victor had reached the body, placed his foot there, on. and struck It with tho barrel of his rifle. This was tho "coup," or final blow, that completed Shaven-Head's triumph and made him truly conqueror. Probably with fore-knowledge of what was coming, the spectators ceased their yells as soon ns Crooked Neck fell, and after delivering the "coup" Shaven-IIead set up his chant of victory. The agent could not un derstand it. but Wnldrof commented: "Seems to bo btuclc on himself ft whole lot. It was a purty good light and will be sung about at all the I'nca papa dances until some warrior steals a cow ol- murders a baby. They don't seem to have uracil sciso el! propor tion, these fellows don't. I'm everlast ing glad," continued Wahlrof, "that Shaven-Head won. He has seven brothers, and If he'd a been killed ti beastly row would have been pretty sure to 'a' transpired. Crooked-Neck don't amount to much, and, anyhow, most of his relatives is squiiivs." No notice was taken of the affair either by tho military or tho civil au thorities. What would have been the use? We have always treated the In dian ns beyond the pale, and could not 9 possibly have convinced the :.avago mind that any other climax .uau that reached was to bo considered possible. Years afterward the agent started on a hunting expedition with Shaven Head ns n guide. When two miles from tho agency he was astonished at seeing the Indian spur his pony to ward n grave ou a near-by hillside nnd, with yells of defiance, fire n dozen shots through the pole-supported and sun-dried corpse". NAMES THAT MEAN LITTLE. Your plains Indian, cspeolully If ha bo of the Sioux variety, lias u mighty long memory, and would have been dearly loved by the great Johnson be cause of his capacity for hating. It may be worth while to sny that tho names "touchln' o:i and appertain in' to" an Indian, lu nine cases out of ten, fail to find any warrant in tho personal appearance of the ono desig nated. The I'ncapapa did not have it shaved head nor the Blackfoot n crgoked neck. Years beforo the fight, when the con. testants were youngsters, some ono had "thrown" to tho man In u danco tho namo that clung in the after years. What wild fancy may have originated tho cognomen, whether bestowed In admiration or dislike, no ouo could tell, Tho famous Sitting Bull was known among tho Indians as "The-Bull-Tliat-Sits-Down." It was asserted that when a youngster he carried a bison calf he had shot many miles into camp and fell, exhausted, ut the door of his father's tepee, the head and forelegs of tho calf protruding over his owu head and shoulders. Sitting Bull professed not to have nny recollection of the occurrence, but that does uot count for much, because an Indian considers It bad medicine to tulk about his unuie, and If you want to make blin do penance to bis gods and put blui lu a terrible funk nil round ask him tho name of his mother-in-law.
