HER NAME NEVER PRINTED. ^ Car too* HI Look Which tor Yoon Fol > ' liwtd • Washington Woman. It looks as though society notoriety Is not to be the fate of one Washing ton woman whose name for some in scrutable reason for the last half dozen years has been omitted from all published accounts of gatherings in which she has taken part. An overmastering curiosity finally prompted her to institute an investi gation into the matter. She found then that,so far from the omission hav ing been intentional on the part of the correspondents, it arose from the fact that she was personally unknown even by sight to them. Having satis fied herself on this score,the incognito shortly (thereafter ordered her car riage, and, calling for a friend, took her for a drive. The little excursion, planned for pleasure, had a most disastrous ter mination, as the horses, taking fright, ' ran away and, getting beyond the control of the coachman, the vehicle was overturned and both ladles in jured, the owner of the carriage quite seriously. In the midst of her pain as she was being carried home there flashed through her mind the thought that the runaway would be given space in the papers. Then, as the turn-out was her property, her name would of necessity figure in the ao count. The following morning a de tailed account of the accident ap peared in the paper, but by a strange fatality that has for so long ruled her elimination from print, her name was not mentioned. That of her compan ion was several times repeated in the article, which wound • up by stating that “a friend who was in the carriage at the time was also injured.” HAD A PASS. But Found That Plonty of Cash Had to Go Wltn It. Somebody connected with one of the steamboat lines plying between New York and Boston gave a country cousin of his a pass to Boston from New York. It entitled the bearer to “one first-class passage.” I stood just behind the owner of the pass as we lined up in front of the ticket office to secure staterooms. The passholder wanted the best on the boat, and was visibly annoyed when the purser said the best rooms were all gone. All that he could offer was No. 77 and “two dollars, please!” “But I’ve got a pass!” remonstrated the owner thereof, with an expres sion of pained surprise. “Two dollars, please I” “Well, say, you'll hear from this,” but he paid the money under protest Then he went down to supper de termined to get square. He [ordered raw oysters, Irish stew, a beefsteak, lemon pie, ice oream, chocolate cake, and a pint of wine. When the intelli gent waiter presented him with a check for $4.30 he almost fainted. - “But I’ve got a pass I” he gasped. “That pass is to travel on, not to eat on or Bleep on,” said the waiter, sardonically. This was dreadful, but the pass holder paid the check in a dazed sort of way, and I offered him a cigar when we reaohed the deck. He smoked a long time and then^aid: “Cousin Harry said this was going to be a free excursion, but it has al ready cost me more than a first-class •allroad fare to Boston, and we’re not yet twenty-fire miles out of New York.’.’ A PECULIAR 8TONB. tt Is Called the Devil's hooking Glass and Daisies the Eyes. “One of the most peculiar of stone formations is the 'devil’s looking glass,* on the Nolochuchy river,” said a traveler to a reporter. “It is a pali sade which rises abruptly from the river to a height of (about 800 feet. It is perfectly smooth‘and about 100 feet wide. When the sun is at a cer tain stage it throws a shadow over the water and reflects the sunbeams as a mirror would, dazzling the eyes ot the beholder, sometimes almost blinding him with its brightness. Sit “To E° UP°“ the river in a skiff and look down into the water is to see an image reflected, but always distorted. It is this which gave the name to the formation, and there are several in teresting legends connected with it, lome Of which are devotedly believed by the mountaineers. One of these which is generally given credence is that every night at midnight, when the moon shines, the devil goes there to bathe and make up his toilet, using the rock, with the reflection of the noonlight, as a looking glass.” Farls Press Ethics. A Paris boulevard paper publiahea the following dialogue between a member of the cabinet of ministers and a newspaper man who is paid by the former under the condition that he must keep up the appearance of apposing the minister. Says the jour nalist: “Can I call you ‘canaille’ or ‘dirty hog?'” “Of course,” answers the minister, “but make a change ance in a while in your epithets; put gjv me down as a ‘bandit,’for instance. But never venture to denominate me as a ‘chequart’(bribe taker); that is the only epithet that makes a bad im pression upon the public.” The Sector’s Announcement. In one of the smaller cities of New S' England there was an Episcopal church, which had two mission chapels, commonly known as the East End mission and the North End mis sion, from the parts of the city where they were respectively located. One day the rector gave out the notices. In his most distinguished, high-church tone, as follows: “There will be a ser vice at the North End mission at three o’clock and at the East End at five. Children will be baptized at both ends.** i THE NEW OFFICE BOY. He Vu Scientifically Uif, and It Ban la the Family. 3 "Doesn’t that new office boy of on ,s seem to be rather lazier than usual?" inquired Judge Crabtree. “He's the laziest boy we ever had,” answered his partner. “I caught him this morning setting his lips right and then putting mucilage on them so that he could whistle "After the Ball” without the intolerable muscular ex ertion of holding the proper pucker." “Well, I hope we shan’t have to re sort to artificial respiration to keep him from dying on our hands as we had to with the last one,” returned the judge. “By the way, what’s this boy’s name?” •Tommy.” “But his last name?" “Cregow.” “Oh, I see—it runs in the family. 1 know a man named. Cregow when 1 first came to the city who was un doubtedly Tommy’s father. This man Cregow had to be carried on a stretcher when he went to the circus. He used to show the greatest ingenuity in avoiding exertion of any man I ever knew. For instance, he was an inveterate smoker, but, of course, with his disposition, his pipe went out frequently. The labor of scratching matches to relight it was simply dragging him down, and he saw it. So he moved into a house where the elevated road ran close to the second-story windows, and there he used to sit near one of them all day long, smoking and resting. When he found his pipe out he would simply reach out of the window with a match and let a passing train rub against it, and there he was. Ingenious man. Might have made his mark in the world if he hadn’t been so lazy. I’ll ask Tommy to-night, when he un gums his mouth, how his father is getting along.” A FUNNY SHOE STORE. Ill nitrating the Old Jingle, ..One Shoe Off and One Shoe On." A company of idlers on a hotel piazza were telling such yarns as are commonly spun in such places, when one of them offered to wager that he had done something as a boy in Ten nessee that no other member of the party had ever done or heard of. ‘‘What was it, colonel?” asked one of the crew. “I wore out my first pair of shoes without ever having them both on at once.” “Explain.” “Well, you see, it was this way. The shoemaker was slow and I was in a hurry. A boy who has never had a pair of shoes finds it hard to wait. Come Saturday night the man had one of them done, but told • me I should have to wait a week for the other. “ ‘Well, give me that one anyhow,’ said I, and I carried it home. I wore it all that week, and all the next, for the fellow didn’t keep his word any more than shoemakers generally do; and by the time the second one was done tie first one needed repairing. “And so the thing went on. That Bhoemaker was so slow and the leath er was so poor and I ran about so much that somehow I never once had both shoes on together,-and by and by they were gone entirely.” TAKEN BY LIQHTNINO. — A Portrait Takon on a Window-Fan* bj a Dazzling Hash. “Did you ever hear of a photograph being taken by a flash of lightning?” inquired Samuel L. Goodnow, of Charleston, S. C., of the newspaper man. “While traveling through the west ern part of the state about a year ago I came across a remarkable phenome non at a farm house where I passed the night. On a pane of glass in the upper sash of one of the windows was a distinct aud what was said to be an accurate likeness of a former master of the house, who had been dead a number of years. The portrait pre sented the appearance of a photo graph negative. The people told me that a few years before his death the man, while standing by the window during a severe thunder-storm, was stunned by a sudden flash of lightning and the theory had always been that his features were photographed on the window-pane at that time. Those who were acquainted with the man before his death told me the pioture was an exact likeness of him.” Catching Monkeys. Most of the monkeys that travel with shows and organ-grinders come from the isthmus of Panama. These animals are captured by the natives in rather a curious way. They take a cocoanutand cut a hole in it large enough to admit a monkey’s paw. A string is then attached to the nut The monkey is a very inquisitive little animal, and when he sees one of these nuts he inserts his paw through' the hole to find out what is inside. When the paw is closed it cannot be with drawn, and as the monkey has not sense enough to open his paw, the nut is dragged by the string, and the monkey with it, to within reach of the captors, who throw a net over the monkey and in that way secure him. Much the Better of the Two. Grant Allen relates that he was sit ting one day under the shade of the sphinx, turning for some petty point of detail to his Baedeker. A sheik looked at him sadly and shook his head. “Murray good,” he said, in a solemn voice of warning; “Baedeker no good. What for you use Baedeker?” “No, no! Baedeker is best,” answered Mr. Allen; “why do you object to Baedeker?” The sheik crossed his hands, and looked down on him with the pitying eyes of Islam. “Baedeker bad book,” he repeated; “Murray very, very good. Murray say, ‘Give the sheik half a crown;’ Baedeker say, ‘Give the sheik a shilling.’ ” " YOUNG MEN AT THE FRONT. Few Venerable! to Be Found Among European Sovereigns and Statesmen. Lord Rosebery’s succession to the premiership serves to call attention to the fact that whereas during the first decade after the Franco-German war, and throughout the major part of the second, the destinies of Europe were controlled by monarchs and statesmen of advanced age, their power is now vested in the hands of comparatively young men. This is, indeed, the epoch of youth. Lord Beaconsfield, Prince Gortehakoff, Prince Bismarck, M. Thiers, Depretis, Gladstone and the Danish statesman, Estrupp, have all either died or with drawn into private life, and the same may be said of their masters. The German emperor, who is undoubtedly the roan at the helm in the Teutonic empire, is only 33 years old; the prince of Bulgaria is 33, the emperor of Russia 49, while the king of Wurtem berg, the king of Portugal and the king of Greece are all young men. Still more youthful are the queen of Holland, the young king of Servia and the little king of Spain. As re gards statesmen, we find young men, such as Lord Rosebery and Mr. Asquith, occupying tlio principal offi ces of the British crown. The Austrian prime minister, Prince Windisch graetz, is under 30, and Cardinal Rompolla, the papal secretary of state, is barely one or two years over that age. M. Casimir-Perrier, the French prime minister, is about 48 years of age, while M. Dupuy, his predecessor, and now president'of the chamber of deputies, is about three years younger. Many other names might be added to the list, but the above will suffice to show that we are living in the golden age of youth, and that while age and experience are at a discount youth and enthusiasm are above pa*-. TRAPPED AND FOUGHT A BEAR. A Mountaineer'* Desperate Straggle With an Infuriated Beast. A mountaineer named Jere Sands had a terrible conflict with a bear in Greasy Cove, near Johnson City, Tenn., recently. The animal had been entrapped during the night, and when Sands came upon the scene he went directly up to the bear before making an effort to shoot it. He was standing a few feet away when the infuriated beast made a lunge, broke its fetters and was upon him in an in stant. Before the surprised hunter could get his gun in position the bear seized his left arm in its crushing jaws, the weapon dropped from the hand of the mangled limb and a bat tle of death began. In a moment the mountaineer was in the dread embrace of his an tagonist. They fell to the ground in the struggle which ensued, and rolling over and over they went down the mountain side thirty yards and dropped off a ledge of rocks twelve.feet sheer fall. The bear happened to fall underneath and during the momentary shock which followed the half dead man managed to draw from his belt his hunting knife, which fortunately had remained undisturbed, and plunged it with all his strength into the animal’s neck, severing the jugular vein. This ended the battle. The bear soon re leased his hold and was dead, but his slayer was too badly hurt to leave the scene of the struggle. His continued absence caused his friends to go in search of him. They found the vic tor covered with blood and pillowed upon his Bhaggy victim nursing his mangled arm. The bear was one of largest ever killed in that region. THEY DIDN'T FRATERNIZE. The Old Circus Man Had to Give Up the Lion and Iamb Effort. "The hardest thing to train a wild beast to do is to perform with a weak, defenseless animal,” remarked A. L. Hutchins, an old circus and menag erie hand, who had deserted the arena and ring for mercantile pur suits, as a commercial traveler. "I remember once, several years ago, an effort being made to persuade a very docile lion to lie down with a lamb. The idea was certainly a good one but it took several lambs and also several weeks before the lion, which was jvilling to jump through a burn ing hoop, sham death on being shot, etc., could be persuaded to allow a lamb to enter his den with impunity. Twice he killed a lamb in the pres ence of his trainer, and the second time he nearly killed the trainer, who rather recklessly tried to get away the carcass. Finally the lion would tolerate a lamb in its den just as long as the keeper stood over it with an iron bar. But the effort was so evi dently forced and the performance was so utterly lacking in smoothness and interest that it was abandoned after two or three attempts.” Men and Tallow. “It is an odd fact,” said Anson Bry son, of Chicago, “but a true one, that men, as a rule, do not like yellow. I saw this fact set forth in a paper the other day, and until then it did not occur to me that it was so. But ask your men friends what they think of dresses of yellow, and they will object if they think about the thing at all. A woman, to my notion, makes a mis take to put on a yellow dress if she is settingJier cap for the average man.” The Duchess Milks. The duchess of Hamilton has had a large stable built for her cows and goes there daily, according to English papers, to milk her favorites. She also makes the butter, it is said, which is used on her table when she has guests. The stable is built of marble, and cost a large sum of money. The duchess has had gloves made es pecially to use when milking the cows, in order that she may not soil her fingers. KeCASTHTYIXIi. A few of the farmers have already finished cultivating their corn for the first time in this vicinity. The annual meeting of our school district will be held on the evening of the day appointed and the usual busi ness will be transacted. This has been the windiest spring for many a year and croprf in some localities have suffered much therefrom. The other night when the country was wrapped in deep slumber some un known rascals crept up to one of our neighbor's dog kennels and took the chain that held the dog and tied to the elevated part of the canine a large coffee pot. This done they crouched down over the dog and hissed and yelled in its ear like demons. The dog yowled and started for the barn close by and jumped through an open window on a horse. The poor horse was so fright ened that it made splinters of every thing within limit of its heels. Two young men who were asleep up stairs on hearing the commotion below, hugged each other in frantic delight. One struck a light and told the other to go below and find out the cause of the racket. The other took a big scantling but never put his foot on the first step. Then came an unearthly howl from bslow, which sent chills up their backs. As they were about to drop from the window to the ground ten feet below, one said to the other, "That must be old Beelzebub himself starting anew city below,” and then they both dropped and skinned for dear life. Sometime in the near future there will be a grand dance given by Con Shea. Dan Murphy planted this year about one hundred acres ot corn, twenty of wheat, thirty of oats, ten of rye and six of potatoes. Mr. Murphy is living on the Redbird, and some of the choic est of farm and hay land lies in this valley. Donelogue. WHEELS, They Are Never Beard In a Wealthy City of Mexico. “In the city of Catorce, in Mexico, the sound of carriage wheels never has been heard,” said a traveler, late ly. “The city is located in the moun tains eight miles from the railroad station. In order to reach it an ex tremely perilous ride up the moun tains must be made. For that reason but few foreign people have ever vis ited the town. As a result, at Catorce is found the Mexican people in all their primitive purity. They know but little of the outside world. Its inhabitants are engaged in silver mining. Thousands of dollars of bul lion is secured yearly. Miles of tun nels extend in all directions, and thousands of dollars tiave been ex pended on, the mines. “The streets of Catorce run up and down the mountains often at an angle of forty-five degrees, making the use of wheeled vehicles impossible. All transportation is done by the borros or by the Cargedores, who are able to carry great weights on their backs suspended by bands from around their foreheads. With 300 pounds on their backs these men will move along on a trot. The only level spot of ground in Catorce is its plaza, which is very beautiful, as also is its cathedral, which is richly decorated with silvei and precious stones. Catorce, which is the Spanish word meaning fountain, got its name, so the legend runs, from fourteen bandits who discovered the rich deposits of silver in 1780, and at once made it their headquarters. It is indeed a wonderful town, fabulously rich, grand in scenery, and interesting by reason of the life and habits of its people. AN ENGLISH PARTY WHIP. One of the Queer Salaried Positions In the House of Commons. Reverting to the duties of a whip and patronage secretary, in English politics, it is an astonishing fact that gentlemen of birth and social position can be found to fill the post. The junior whip’s duties are not only oner ous, but irksome. They sit or stand in the outer lobby of the house from 8:30 to 13:30 at night and they ask every member who passes where he is going, whether he is paired, and when he will be back. If he is not paired they have either to find a pair for him or to prevent him from pass ing out by coaxing or threats, the former for preference. When their party is in these gentlemen have to attend to their office from 13 to 3. Their hours of duty are therefore from 11 a. m. to 13 p. m., or thirteen hours, with intervals for lunch and dinner, and this they do for £1,000 a year. When their party is out they do it, minus their office work, for nothing. In addition to keeping an eye on his juniors, the chief whip, who has £3,000 a year, deals with the members on their more touchy side. It is he who practically distributes ribbons and titles and sees that cards of in vitation are sent to this man and that —that no one is given undue prefer ence—a delicate duty which requires much tact and sVIl. — Ancient Tyrian Dyers* The Tyrians were the most expert dyers of ancient timea The fabrics dyed with the famous Tyrian purple did not assume their proper color until after two days' exposure to light and air. During this time they passed through a gradation of shades of yellow, green, blue, violet and red, which the dyers understood bow to arrest und fix at any moment - . -■( THS I’KOOT:^ ft CAM3LF CO., CINTL July 14. The novel in the June number ol Tales From Town Topics Is a sprightly affair called “An Unspeakable Siren,’‘*a title that eloquently describes the her oine of the story, Nera Mazarin, who is a strangely facinating young society girl of very startling characteristics. She is a hysterical and morbid creature, that rather repels people at first, but who grows on one, and ends by exerting a terrible spell, a good deal after the fashion of a snake. In telling his story the author provides many brilliant pictures of life in Hew York society, and his character-drawing of modern types is especially clever. “An Un speakable Siren” is accompanied by a collection of. short stories; sketches, poems and witticisms taken from the back numbers of Town Topics. The whole makes a bright summer volume. Town Topics Publishing Company, 808 Fifth avenue. New York City. LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. NOTICE. IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF HOLT COUNVft' _ _ , NEBRASKA. Wm.
