BUNSET.
Ho! eound the alarm— the western sky's on
Are;
The flames dance wildly o'er each fleecy spire.
Staining cloud custles with their crimson
glow.
Reflecting glory on the earth below.
But see! from out the east, faint flushed with
red.
The g boats of darkness come with stealthy
tread;
The flames' fierce progress they full soon
arrest
And quench the mighty conflagration in the
west.
—Frederick C. Barber in New York Press.
THE FRONTIERSMAN.
Captain (afterward colonel) William
Crawford—the same man who was bar
barously tortured to death by the In
dians in 1782 near the site of the present
village of Upper Sandusky in the state
of Ohio—on a certain occasion was
marching a company from the frontier
of his own state toward the western
wilderness.
Crawford's men were principally hunt
ers and farmers from what were then
the border settlements of Virginia,
belonging to that hardy and enterprising
class from whose ranks at a later day
were furnished those bunds of sturdy
pioneers whose dauntless deeds have
tilled with thrilling interest the annals of
the "Dark and Bloody Ground."
When on the verge of the settlements,
in consequence of some accident, Craw
ford found himself without adequate
means of transportation for his baggage
and supplies. At this juncture his eye
fell on a wagoner who had stopped to
feed and rest his horses in the vicinity
of the camp. In such an emergency
the captain felt 110 hesitation in pressing
the services of the team and its driver,
and lost no time in communicating his
intention to the latter.
The driver, who was an evident dis
believer in the doctrine of "military
necessity," became highly incensed, de
claiming eloquently on the inviolability
of private property, in relation to which
ho would probably have concluded by
quoting the constitution of the United
States—had it been then in existence.
But arguments were vain. He was
alone in the midst of a military band,
ready and abundantly willing to enforce
their commander's orders.
The wagoner was a burly, double
fisted, square built fellow, whose face
bore the marks of many a hard fought
battle. In his own locality his name
was, fistically speaking, famous. He
had on more than one occasion gouged
out his eye and hit off his nose—l don't
mean his own—and was looked upon in
consequence with much the same sort of
respect which dueling communities, if
any such there be at present, are accus
tomed to pay to him who has winged,
much more to him who has killed his
man.
The wagoner at length became quiet,
directing a sullen look at the soldiers, as
if making an internal comparison be
tween his own strength and that of the
forces opposed to him. Apparently de
riving but little encouragement from
the scrutiny, he turned once more to the
captain and observed that every man
ought to have a fair chance; that the
odds against him deprived him of the
power of protecting his rights; that he
would, however, make a proposition
which the captain, in his oi>inion, was
in honor bound to respect.
"I will fight you," said he, "or any
many in your company, if 1 am whipped
1 will go with you cheerfully; if 1 con
quer you shall let mo off."
The wagoner proved himself a skillful
diplomatist. lie either knew Crawford's
character or had read it during the in
terview. The captain was a thorough
backwoodsman—stout, active and chiv
alrous—and not undistinguished in the
field of pugilistic prowess. A refusal of
the challenge might be construed into a
lack of personal courage, than which
nothing could more certainly deprive
him of the respect and confidence of his
men. Besides it is not unlikely that his
own disposition and code of ethics may
have suggested that there was nothing
unreasonable in the wagoner's claim of
"a fair chance." He at once acceded to
the proposition, and both parties began
to prepare for the encounter.
At this instant a tall young man who
had recently joined the company and
was a stranger to tnostof them, and who
had been leaning carelessly against a
tree eying the scene with apparent in
difference, stepped forward and drew
Crawford aside.
"Captain," said he, "you must let me
fight that man; he will whip you."
Crawford was unwilling to exhibit
the appearance of "backing out," but
the youth contended that to have the
captain beaten, which would be the in
evitable result of his persistence, would
tarnish the honor of the company, and,
moreover, expressed the opinion that he
was the only man who could whip the
wagoner. The confidence of the youth
had something in it calculated to inspire
the confidence of others and enabled him
to carry his point. Crawford having
done all that policy required in accept
ing the challenge prudently suffered
himself to be persuaded by his men to
let the stranger take his place.
There was a great disparity in the ap
pearance of the two men. The wagoner
was in the full vigor of maturity. His
herculean flame, hardened by exposure
anil ekercise, to say nothing of his great
experience in such contests, seemed to
promise every advantage. The form of
his antagonist beneath the folds of his
hunting shirt appeared slender and
loosely put together, as well as lacking
in the capaciousness and power of
ripened malihood, but when divested of
the garment that concealed his propor
tions a more perfect specimen of physic
al development was never beheld. The
swelling muscles were unencumbered by
an ounce of superfluous flesh. The glossy
skin of his exposed arms exhibited in its
polished smoothness and fineness of
texture the surest proof, when found in
man or beast, of nature's aristocracy.
Such a skin as plainly marks the human
thoroughbred as the silken coat of the
racehorse, through which can be traced
the most delicate veins and the outlines
of every muscle, distinguishes its lordly
owner from his plebeian brother, doomed
to drag the plow and bear the heat and
burden of the day.
The two combatants for a moment
glared at each other with a fierce earnest
ness which betokened a fixed resolu
tion on the part of each "never to sub
mit or yield." The wagoner threw him
self into an attitude which evinced a
complete mastery of the most manly of
arts and brutal of "sciences." The po
sition and hearing of the young man
may have been indicative of a want of
that complete educational training so
[ perceptible in his adversary, but the flash
of bis eye denoted genius, and genius,
you know, can do everything—except
what is useful.
The wagoner speedily assumed the of
fensive, aiming a blow which 111 nst have
felled an ox. The youth, who never for
a moment lost his antagonist's eye,
sprang dexterously aside, and ere the
other could recover his guard or regain
his balance, which he had partially lost
in missing his aim, with the bound of a
tiger the young soldier threw himself
forward, dealing his huge enemy a blow
between the eyes, to which was added
the momentum of his whole body. Such
a sound as is heard when a butcher
knocks down a bullock accompanied the
blow—and not less prostrate and ap
parently lifeless lay the bully.
Although the etiquette of "the ring,"
as then expounded, would have per
mitted the victor to follow up his ad
vantage till his opponent cried "enough,"
in cases in which the party hud evident
ly received enough, but was uuable to
say so, as in the case of a prisoner
"standing mute by the act of God," it
was usual for the plea to be entered for
him. Such was the course pursued in
the present instance; but the plea, which
the young stranger seemed imperfectly
to hear, required to be enforced by the
active interference of the bystanders.
The condition of the vanquished man
began to excite the most lively appre
hensions. Some insisted that his skull
was broken, for they had heard it crack,
while others took a more hopeful and
as the event proved correct view of the
symptoms. After a persevering use of
the approved remedies, including the
dashing of gourdful after gourdful of
cold water in his face, the wagoner
slowly opened his eyes and began to rub
them. He was soon able to sit up, and
in a few minutes more had regained his
legs. He had had "a fair chance" and
was evidently satisfied. Without a word
he proceeded to hitch up his team, after
which he turned to the captain and re
ported himself "ready."
The name of the youth was Daniel
Morgan, whose subsequent exploits in
the Americau revolution, in which he
rose to the rank of brigadier general,
have been read by every schoolboy in
America. His achievements during the
two terms he served in congress are not
so widely known.—Exchange.
Feeding tile Pet Dog.
Pet dogs should never have but one full
meal a day, and that about 5 or (J o'clock
in the evening. A little milk or broth
should be given in the morning, but
nothing else. They should have a dish
of mashed greens, well boiled tripe,
lightly boiled liver once or twice a week;
not a full meal, but mixed with their
food.
Remember that their food must be
nourishing; for example, tough ends of
steak and bono pieces boiled until you
can remove the bones, then salted and
thickened with potatoes or stale bread.
Terriers must have meat of some kind
often. Never give any dog chicken
bones, there is nothing much more dan
gerous. About once a month get a joint
of the neck of beef and let the dog have
the bones after cooking.
Puppies should bo fed four or five
times a day on boiled milk. When two
months old bread may be added, or a
little very finely mashed potatoes; never
meat until six months old, and then very
sparingly until they are a year old.
Feeding meat to young dogs causes dis
temper. They may have small, safe
bones after three months. It' they get
diarrhea, give a little cheese.—Mrs.
Theodore Wright in Ladies' Home Jour
nal.
The Toughest.
The plain boarder looked up from his
plato furtively. The landlady was gaz
ing directly at him. He trembled
slightly, for he was about to cross the
Rubicon, and even Csesar had a shiver
when he made that break, successful as
it afterward proved to be.
"What is it?" she inquired.
He hesitated a moment.
"The beefsteak," he replied.
"What's the matter with the beefsteak?
I'm sure I buy the best in the market."
"It's tough, madam."
"You only think so," she said warmly.
"Possibly I do, madam," and his
nerves came to a tension, "but 1 know
there is only one thing in the wide,
wide world tougher than it is, and that
is the conscience of the landlady who
could place it before a boarder without
at the same time providing him with an
ax or at least a saw."
Today that man is living at a cheap
restaurant.—Detroit Free Press.
The Government Time Service.
The Western Union company earns
about $1,000,000 annually from its elec
tric clock service, charging fifteen dol
lars a year for setting each clock at noon
daily. The time sold thus profitably it
gets from the government for nothing,
but anybody can have the same priv
ilege free of charge by putting an in
strument and a wire into the observa
tory. Captain McNair, the naval officer
in charge, is anxious to furnish time
ball service to private individuals and
concerns in every seaport city, only de
manding as a condition that he shall
have a return wire furnished him in or
der that he may publish corrections in
the newspapers. Such time balls would
enable mariners to correct their chro
nometers. It was chiefly for this pur
pose, in fact, that the time service was
originally established. Washington

This palatial home, often called the
Potter Palmer palace in happy allitera

south of Lincoln park, and its cost was i
$750,000. It is built of graystone in the
style of a mediaeval castle. It has often

that it contains sixty-fivo sleeping rooms, 1

World's Fair Guards.
Colonel Edmund Rice, of the United
States regular army, has been detached
for the duty of commanding the guards
for the Columbian exposition, and the
force he is organizing excites the admira
tion of all visitors. At the opening of
the year he has less than (100 men, but
the entire force is to be 2,000, and they
are selected with unusual care and dis
crimination. Ever}' man must be 5 feet
8 inches high and pass a severe examina
tion for courage, strength and intelli
gence. In fact a majority of those so
far selected are graduates of high schools
and colleges.
COLONEL EDMUND RIC'E.
Colonel Rico has a brilliant military
record. Bom in 1842, he enlisted under
the first call in 1801 and was a captain
in the Fourteenth Massachusetts before
reaching his twentieth year. As major
of the Nineteenth Massachusetts he won
special mention for conspicuous gallant
ry at Gettysburg and came out of the
war a colonel. His subsequent service
in the regular army gave him special
qualifications'for his present task. By
shifting his details from one part of the
grounds to another he expects to have
each man familiar with the whole
ground and able to answer any question
as to localities that visitors may ask.
Figure* of American Animal*.
Occupyfng prominent positions upon
nedestals on the various bridges within
the World's fair grounds will be large
figures of native American animals, such
as the biHon, or buffalo, now nearly ex
terminated. It is believed that this will
prove one of the most attractive features
of the exposition. The modeling of these
animals has been intrusted to Edward
Kemeys and A. Phimister Proctor, both
of whom have made careful studies of
the subjects.
Endcavorcrs at the Fair.
The Hotel Endeavor is to be a feature
of the Columbian exposition, and a very
praiseworthy one indeed. It is to he
built by the societies of Christian En

south of the fair ground and 011 the shore
of Lako Michigan. The stylo may be
likened to that of a large Mexican haei-
HOTF.L ENDEAVOR,

form of a hollow square, with a court in
the center, and every one of its 700
rooms will be both an inside and an out
side room. The outer dimensions are 5106
feet square, and the inclosed park is 217
by 242 feet, inclosing forest trees as high
as the buildiijg itself.
1 Great Vain© in Old Newspaper*,
1 When spring cleaning time arrives old
papers are called for to put under the i
carpet. Several layers of .them make a
good carpet lining, and if a thicker pad
ding is desired straw can be used be
tween two layers of paper. This makes
a very elastic lining and a very inex
pensive on 0, which can he renewed every
season. Cut in long, narrow strips old
paper makes good stuffing for chair
cushions and pillows. It may not ho
equal 1o down, hut it is quite us good as
inferior liair for this use.
Several tliieknosses of paper placed be
tween cotton hatting makes a warm, i
light bed comfortable, and ironholders
and kcttlo holders are made in the same ;
way, the paper being laid between and .
tho whole covered with calico.
On very cold winter nights wo put a ,
newspaper coverlet over our house |
plants, and never have known them

Frost's icy fingers.
It was an old nurse who found out how
to replenish noiselessly a coal fire in the :
sickroom. She had the coal brought to '
the room in a strong newspaper with I
the corners gathered up and tied. When ,
fresh fuel was needed she could place
the paper just as it was on the fire with
! scarcely a rustle. If she could only in- !

would beheld in honor in our household, j
at least, forevermore.

An English View of a Popular Woman.
Marion Harland lias been written up
by an English journal. "She may be
ranked," says the article, "among the
foremost of the many American women
who have attained an enviable position
in literature. Her initial book, 'Alone,*
published thirty-five years ago, created a
considerable sensation.
"It is classed as the first work of an
American born woman, though it was
quickly followed by 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.*
Marion Harland is in 110 sense a woman
of 0110 idea or 0110 field of labor. Her
first reputation was won by her novels,
licr second by her cookery hooks. She
is a graceful versifier and an admirablo
public lecturer.
"She lives in New Jersey, where she
takes personal care of her flowers, and
especially prides herself 011 her roses.
She manages a large poultry yard, is the
constant companion of her husband and
thejnost cherished counselor of her chil
dren. At sixty years of ago she is as ac
tively at work as she was twenty years
ago. The secret of her continued pro
ductiveness is found in her admirable
health and systematic work."

Here is a new declaration of equality
quite the most advanced of anything yet

barracks, so their sisters should he com

creches, hospitals, factories or kitchens.
As the youths may choose their garrison
and troop, so the girls should he allowed
to select their branch of service and
should receive certificates of merit at
the end of the year, those showing in
clination and talent for any special
branch being rewarded by promotion
and allowed to direct the next year's re
cruits. Fran Lauge deplores the way in
which German daughters of prosperous
parents spend their lime in "energetic
or lazy doing nothing," and considers
that this year of service would form and
strengthen the character of the coming
woman.—Exchange.

GEMS IN VERSE.
Two Ideals.
Heaven's best ami truest handiwork is she.
Fashion'<l in dignified simplicity.
No meretricious gilding makes her shine.
But that pure gold whose glory is divine.
The one adornment upon n hich she's bent
Is this—a quiet spira's ornament.
She scatters flowers of love and joy around.
And wheresoe'er she treuds ishullow'd ground
To her are sacred all the ties of life.
Whether of mother, daughter, sister, wife.
She speaks of courage when life's path is (lreai
And whispers hope into the dying ear.
In such an one lay ideal woman's seen—
Heaven's royal though perchance earth's un
crowu'd queen.
Refined, with that innate, unstudied grace.
Which changes not, whate'er the time or place
Cultured in mind, yet modest and sedate,
With learning's mere possession ne'er elate.
Of courage dauntless—one in whom the weak
With confidence may their protector seek.
Upright in all his ways. To age from youth
Led by the watchwords—Honor, God and
Truth.
Fitted frail woman's pathway to attend
As husband, guide, companion and friend;
And fitted, too, that children's lips slioulc
frame
For him the title "father"—sacred name!
Herein is seen, form'd on heaven's noblest plan
In simple dignity, my ideal man.

Now!
If you have a friend worth loving,
Love hiin. Yes, and let him know
That you love him ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow.
Why should good words ne'er be said
Of a friend till he is dead?
If you hear a song that thrills you
Sung by any child of song,
Praise it. Do not let the singer
Wait deserved praises long.
Why should one who thrills your heart
Lack the joy you may impart?
If you hear a prayer that moves you
By its humble, pleading tone.
Join it. I)o not let the seeker
Bow before his God alone.
Why should not your brother share
The strength of "two or three" in prayer?
If you see the hot tears falling
From a brother's weeping eyes.
Stop them, and by kindly sharing
Own your kinship with the skies.
Why should any one be glad
When a brother's heart is sad?
If a silvery laugh goes rippling
Through the sunshine on his face.
Share it. 'Tis a wise man's saying—
For both grief and joy a place.
There's health and goodness in the mirth
In which an honest laugh has birth.
If your work is made more easy
By a friendly, helping hand,
Say so. Speak out bravely and truly
Ere the darkness veils the land.
Should a brother workman dear
Falter for a word of cheer?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness,
All enriching, as you go.
Leave them. Trust the Harvest Giver.
He will make each seed to grow.
