Cnstef, Indian Attack. vJrk 0 ! T ( ' harles ° sboru ' tUe New \ork looker, and General Custer were lisited u rleDllS ’ and ° sl,o, ' n annually ' sited the general at his camp m, ,h e plains. During one of the Indian luiigns he invited Osborn and a party ol filends out to Kansas and, after •dying tnam a buffalo hunt, arranged a novel experience in the way of an indan scare. As Osborn was lying | n bis tent one night tiring was heard at the outposts and the rapid riding , f picke.s. "Hoots aud saddles!” was the order in the disturbed atmosphere of the night and Custer appeared to Osborn loaded with rifle, two revolvers, a saber end a scalping knife. ‘•Charles," be said In his quick, nervous .way, “you must defend yourself. Sitting Bull and Flea-In-Your-Boots, with Wlggle-Tail-.lim and Scalp-Loek-Skow heban, are on us in force. I did not want to alarm you before, but the safety of my command Is my first duty. Things look serious. If we don’t meet again, God bless you!” The broker fell on bis knees. “Custer,” he cried, “only get me out of this' I’ll carry 1,000,000 shares of Western l uion for you into the firm to get me home. Only save me!” But Custer was goue, and the camp, by shrewd arrangement, burst into a blaze, and shots, oaths and warwboops were intermixed until suddenly a painted object loomed on Osborn’s sight, and something was flung into his face—a human scalp. He dropped to tiie ground, said the Lord’s l’rayer backward and sideways until the noise died away and there was exposed a lighted supper table with this explanation on a transparency: Osborn s treat! —Chicago Record. A Change All Around. “There goes a party that will be heard from,” said Smith, pointing to a young man xvho was going down the street. "He has managed to keep his head in love and financial matters, aud they are the two great tests. “Two months ago he was a young man with all the world before him and with no prospects ahead of him except a determination to fight life’s battles. “He was in love with a young lady living in this city, but his financial condition prevented him from declaring his passion; besides he was not sure that the young lady in question cared for him. “But by one of those curious turns of the wheel of fortune an old aunt, that he bad never soon, died and left him a large sum of money. Without delay he called upon the young lady and asked her to marry him, saying nothing about the fortune that bad been left him. He met with a point blank refusal. “Two days later the girl heard of his unexpected windfall and wrote him a note saying, - I have changed my mind.’ “His answer was just as short. It said: “ ‘So have I.’ ’’—Detroit Free Press. Not Very Flattering'. Last winter a delegation of Indians from a far western state, on a tour of inspection through the interior department, visited the land office, where they- were introduced to the clerk who had especial charge of their section of the country, a bumptious little individual with a big head. This official proceeded to overpower the red men with his importance. Grasping each one of them cordially by the hand, he patted them patronizingly on their backs and then delivered a long speech, explaining in detail the work of the office, their interest in it, laying particular stress on the fact that he was the motive power of it all. As soon as their entertainer paused for breath the visiting Indians began to grunt aud talk among themselves. “What are they saying?” asked the egotistical clerk, expecting to hear high praise of himself. “Tell mo what they are saying.” “I cannot tell you,” rep’ied the interpreter. “It was not for you to hear.” But the little man insisted, and with great reluctance the interpreter finally yielded. “They said,” lie translated, "Little man, big head, heap talk, say nothing, much fool.”-Washington Letter in New York Tribune. Sandy's Explanation. A hraw son of Scotia accepted an invitation to spend a fortnight with a friend in London, whose quarters were in the dense purlieus of Clerkcnwell. On joining his host at breakfast the morning after his arrival the following colloquy took place, much to the annoyance of the mistress of the house: Host—Well, Sandy, old man, how did you sleep? Sandy—Aweel, mon, to say truth, na so vara week Host—l am sorry to— Sandy (interrupting) — Ah, sash yesself, mon! 1 was better ass than the fleas, for they never closed a blessed e'e the whole night.' A Little Mistake. Some time ago a well known and popular Congregational minister received a basket of champagne from one of his worldly and wealthy parishioners. A few days later the minister s little sou was called up in his geography class to answer the teacher s question, “Where is Lake Champlain? Q “I don’t know where it Is, said the small boy, “but I’ve had some of he water, and it is real nice. -Boston Herald. . A Good Answer. Ernest McGaffey, the poet, is accredited with a good bonrnot.

French Comfort. In the best hotel iu Paris one gets luxury, comfort and even splendor, but never one’s cards or notes, according to Harper’s Bazar. There is a fatal gulf for these. One is a number, not an individuality. ’Lite table is, however, very luxurious. It is a clean and well ordered caravansary. As for the comfort of warmth in winter, they do not know the meaning of the word. We are justly accused of exaggerating the heat of our rooms in America; the furnace is denounced; but after freezing to death in Paris, one of the coldest of cities, very far north, one returns willingly to the heated rooms of America. We exaggerate the excellence of the French bed. There is no sueli thing in France as that comfortable, broad, low thing which we call a French bed. A high, hard, narrow shelf is the apology for it. We exaggerate our comforts by having gas in our sleeping rooms and hot and cold water in our stationary washbowls aud bathrooms. They never exaggerate comfort in France. You have as many candles as you will pay for, and no bath, unless you order it, when men laboriously bring you a tub tilled With hot or cold water, and take it away after you have bathed. We exaggerate very much the supposed good living in France. To go to a hotel in Paris to live we must expect out of the season very little good food, very little that is sustaining and uour- j ishing. It is “all sauce.” There are no j good joints of mutton, no good Ainerican desserts. This is an especial dis-: comfort to the sick, who never get good toast, good custard, good tapioca pudding, nor oysters that they like. “Arms and the Man.’ A man applied to the college for a coat of arms, says a writer iu the Cornhill Magazine, and was asked if any of his ancestors had been renowned for any singular achievements. The man paused and considered, but could recollect nothing. “Your father,” said the herald, aiding his memory, “your grandfather,

your great-grandfather?” “No,” returned the applicant, “I nev- j cr knew that I had a great-grandfather or a grandfather.” “Os yourself?” asked this creator of dignity. “I know nothing remarkable of my- : self,” returned the man. “only that be- j ing once locked up in Ludgate prison j for debt I found means to escape from an upper window, aud that, you know, J is no honor in a man’s scutcheon.” “And how did you get down?” said the herald. “Odd enough.” retorted the man. ”1 ! procured a cord, fixed it round the nock of the statue of King Lud, on the outside of the building, aud thus let myself down.” “I have it,” said the herald. “No honor! Lineally descended frotn King Lud! And his coat of arms will do for you.” A Xeat Selection. “That’s a nice umbrella you have there.” “Ain’t it ? Reflects credit on my taste, doesn’t it?” “It certainly does. Where did you get it?” “Picked it out of a bunch of seven that were standing in the boarding house hall tlds morning.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Work For the Jaws. John Bulwer, .a quaint writer of the seventeenth century, recommends the following three dinner rules: Stridor dentium, altum silentium, rumor gentium, which has been humorously translated, "Work for the jaws, a silent pause, frequent ha-has.” —What to Eat. Truly Appreciative. “Do you appreciate poetry?” asked the serious young woman. "Yes, indeed,” answered Mr. Cumrox. “There’s one piece of poetry that has done me a world of good. Old as I am, there are times when 1 couldn’t tell how to figure without saying ’Thirty days hath September, April, June and November.’ ’’—Washington Star.

Stood by III* Had. Once when John Van liuren, son of President Van Buren, was making a speech in behalf of his father, an old Democrat rose in the audience and upbraided him as a bolter. Few men were more effective on the stump or quicker at repartee than John, aud he replied to the charge with an anecdote something like this: “One day a man on horseback came up with a boy who was contending with an overturned load of hay. Instead of tossing the hay back in the wagon, the boy was energetically tossing it hither and thither, regardless of where it landed. “The traveler halted and said; ’My young friend, why do you work so furiously this hot weather? Why do you not toss the hay back iu the wagon and be more deliberate in your labors ?’ "The boy stopped, wiped the streaming perspiration off his face on his shirt sleeve, and, pointing to the pile of hay on the roadside, exclaimed, ‘Stranger, dad’s under thar,’ and then he set about work more furiously than ever.” Separate Towels For Children. Two or more children should not be permitted to use the same towel. Each child should have a separate one and be tqught to regard it as personal property. Towels may be bought with initials woven in them, which makes it easy for the owner to distinguish his own. Diseases of the eye and skin diseases are easily communicated by the Indiscriminate use of fte same towel by different persons. If carefulness in this matter be inculcated In childhood, it may save much suffering. —Ladies’ Home Journal. In Mexico everything and everybody pays a direct tax, from the street porter to the largest mercantile establishment, and the stamp tax for docu* ments Is equally lucrative, ••A woman, I notice, always lowers her voice to ask a favor.” “Yes, and raises her voice if she doesn’t get It”—Chicago Record.
