Retribution Which Overtook a Hearties* Editor. Sklmper had a novel newspaper ex perience in Frontierville. He landed In there with his outfit in a prairie schooner drawn by four mules. His staff consisted of a shock-headed boy • hat did everything from sweeping the sanctum, when the accumulation of paper and other things amounted to a blockade, to reporting the local events by word of mouth while Skimper put them into English, says the Detroit Free Press. The town grew like a mushroom, for It became the center of a big mining boom, and money wa3 plenty. For tunes were quickly made and it was not long before there sprung ap a local aristocracy, based solely on a foundation of riches. Skimper, with the true instincts of democracy, ridi culed this in a new town that had no communication with the outer world except by wagon trains and a pony ex press. The Indignant women raised a crusade against him and it was not long until his advertising patronage dwin dled to less than a starvation revenue. Skimper was game and swore that he would sink with his colors flying. He found his chance for sweet revenge just as he realized that he must give up the fight and seek for pastures new. There was a branch of a national female or ganization in Frontierville, especially popular because of its liberal contribu tions to the cause. It was invited to the general round-up of the society at St. Louis and concluded to go in a body. Just as this was settled Skim per’s paper came out with a page of summer styles, stolen from a paper ten years old. There was a great stir In the town and dressmakers were at i premium. When the Frontiersville delegation marched into the big con tention hall, wearing antiquated bon nets. teetering crinoline and full-size :>ustles, propriety and fraternal feeling ;ombined could not restrain the laugh ter. As soon as money could accom plish the transformation the styles ot the visitors were brought up to date, Dut Skimper was never forgiven and he took retreat in a little town as far east is the Atlantic ocean would permit. WHY SHE REFORMED. The Alarm Clock Went Off In Tier Hustle. “I’ve quit smuggling,” admitted the good old lady who is prone to consult her conscience and look upon the laws of men as the outgrowth of fallible Judgment and of political prejudices. Bays the Detroit Free Press. “If I can get my laces and jewelry and my dress goods for less money in the Dominion of Canada than I can here, I regard it as my right to do so. But one experi ence with the revenue officers mad^ them watchful of me and now I do my shopping on this side rather than be subjected to the annoyance of their sur veillance. I had gradually grown in to the habit of getting my silks wool ens, seal goods and diamonds la Wind sor. In fact, I bought nearly every thing over there that I could get at a reduction and conceal about my person. One afternoon when I was there I found the daintiest and prettiest and cheapest little alarm clock that I had ever seen. We needed such an article in the house, and, after being assured that it was a good timekeeper and to be depended upon to wake us at any desired time, I bought it. At that time bustles were a good deal larger than we wear them now and I had no trouble in conceal ing my purchase. I also had about my person several articles of silverware se cured at a bargain, and a beautiful lit tle diamond ring for a favorite niece. The Canadian officials at tha landing knew me and bowed pleasantly. On this side I felt perfectly secure be cause I had been engaged in individual smuggling for years and no one had ever asked me a question. As I step pod to the dock one of the deputies lifted his hat and began to examine the basket of some poor woman who wat landing. Out of curiosity I awaited the result, but right in the midst of the Investigation there was a bur-r-r and a whir-7-r r that made me faint. My alarm clock had proclaimed itself. 1 was caught redhanded, and they said they were letting me off easy when they confiscated the goods. That’s the only reason that I ceased to smug gle.” WALK ON HOT STONE*. k Curl pus and Revolting Custom Among the Fijians. Fijian feet can endure more teriible contact than the blow of a hard-hit cricket ball. There is a Fijian tribe, cays the London Dally News, which might make a fortune of any entre preneur enterprising enough to bring them to civilized l".udv. They are call ed the flrewalkers. About once a year they give on the island of M'uya, about twenty-two miles from Sava, the Fijian capital, what must be one of the most extraordinary exhibitions in the world. In a forest glade about a quarter of a mile from the shore a hole is dug In the ground about twenty-five feet wide and six feet deep. Flat stones are spread over its bottom and wood piled on them and set alight. When the stones are red-hot the burning logs are dragged away, the stones carefully made to lie as evenly as possible aud all flames extinguished. A party of tribesmen, garlanded with green leaves, then descend Into the pit and deliber ately walk over the glowing stones in procession. Their bare feet are not burned or even made hot. The display takes place under the eyes of specta tors, native and Enropean. This year a steamer was actually advertised in Australia to take visitors to witness the spectacle.
