How MmU Zlegenfun Convinced Henry Holla nt llrr lAit, nnd How He Was Mart led When He Wn Knllghtened n to Her Ueilente Appetite. (Copyright, IWS. by Anicrlcnn lreu Assvcla tlon. Tho Pennsylvania Dutch fanners nrc famttl fr their thrift, tlnlr good table, their tilily nml their Inixom ilniiKhtcix Jolm X.liKenftiHM wiiHn tnnu of thin cIhkm, nml hlii nuly daughter, Mnrle, would Imvo been the UMiNt of nil tho young men In tlmt pnrt of Korku county It they hml been mi ll let im I to anything no wicked nnd cxpen Ivc n drinking toiista. Despite her tiuiiiy nttrnctlon, prospcctl vo nnd uctunl, M.trlo .legciifufts wiw not n coiUeltei (he illd not know the meaning of the word, nnd It In doubtful If (ho luul ever hriirtl It, From among her host of admirers ulio Melectvt Henry lloltE, the on of another well to do fnriucr who lived up near the lebiiiion lino, nbout lx inllca nwny, Ah noon nn It beenmo known tlmt Mr. Holt wn tho Accepted nultor tho others Hood uloof, iwrlinpa bocauso there wn TIIK OKNTLK MAtllK BIOIIKD. Bothtng oNo to da Kvery Suiidny Henry Uolts drove to tho niectliiK Iioiiho wliero Mnria nnd her pnrvnta nttcnded, nnd ufter the Bcrvlces were over ho plnceil IiIh hwitU hi'jirt In the buggy, triumphantly drove hor homo and luvnrlnbly remiiinvd to din nor. Under these delightful rlrcuniBtnncea Henry Uolu ouht to Imvo lcen entirely happy; but, ulna for tho vanity of human wishes, hu wits not, nnd this is tho reason: ANirt from more worldly considerntlons the mildly anient young mnti loved Marie riegenfuss becnuao aha was large, atout. healthful, rosy nnd entirely hugablo If one may be permitted to coin an essen tially deacrlptlvo word. And then tho fnct that Mario loved him with nil tho love of which ahe was cnpnblo, gave an added Im pulse to hia paaalou. Dut hero wna the truth; thla ia what ao aorcly perplexed himi lie hod heard, but Ida own experience did not warrant the belief, that people who are In love either do uot or cannot eat ns much an those who are entirely free from tho tcuder passion. Every Sunday ho sat beside Mario at dinner, nnd this afforded him an excellent opportunity to Judge of her appetite. To his inexpressible Amaze ment sho had not tho appetlto of n molt ing canary, She ate an near noxt to nothing its one well could that protended to eat at all. Why, Mho would oven cut n green pen in two, when those delicious legumes were in season, nnd with touching delicacy would convey, on tho point of her knife, one hnlf at a time to hor Him,' After dlnnr the young folks would go Into tho pat lor, the walls of which were decorated with framed "samples," dono In Derlin wool 'iy the fair Marie, and they would alt, on" nt either end of the high backed, hor hair covered sofa, and look yearningly nt each other, while Henry, with his own hearty meal still fresh in hia mind, would sigh: "Ah, Maree, don'd you dinks you vos alrenty in lofer You end ao pooty mooch noddlngs like n Icedle buddorfly." Henry remained usually with hia dul clnea till near auppertlme, when he would hitch up and go home. One Sunday afternoon there came on a fierce storm, nnd aa tho rnln kept persist ently up till long nfter dark, Mr. Zlegen faea and hia wife, backed by the plcadinga of the gentle Marie, prevailed on the young man to remain for the night. The house of the Pennsylvania Dutch farmers, though usually comfortable, nre rarely ao costly aa their barns. This night the clergyman and his wife were also guests, and Henry Uolts wna given a bed In a sort of loft directly over the kitchen. Thla was a night of unusual dissipation for the young people. They actually staid up courting, or rather looking nt each other from opposite ends of the sofa, till the high clock, standing like n coffin In the dimmest corner of the room, struck ten. Henry looked ns if ho was going to kiss Marie, but he compromised by chucking her umler the chin, then, startled nt hia own audacity, he .hurried up to the loft and lay down to pleasant dreams. How long he had been asleep be never could tell, for after the thrilling experiences or that nignt lie wna never In n condition to follow out a consecutive lino of thought that placed any tax on his memory, but it certainly must have been several hours. He was awakened, not by the swish of the willow branches ngninst the dormer win dow or the steady beating of the rain on the roof, but by a delicious odor and the occasional rattle of dishes liencath. He rubbed tils eyes and the golden Hues of light between the boards assured him that there was some ono nt work in the kitchen. He got nol elessly up und looked dewn through a crack, and ho gasped, "Lieber Herr, dot vo- mein Mureel" Henry Boltx was right. It was Mnrio In working dress, with a big blue apron on, and her ample arms bared to the shoulder. She had just fried u huge plate of ham nnd was In the act of breaking a dozen eggs into the sizzling gravy when her lover be held her. He lelievrd that n lot of starved, giants bad been driven for refuge from the storm to farmer Klcgenfuss', and that" Marie, noble girl that she was, was robbing her self of sleep In order to appease their bun Iter. Aa soon ns Mnrle kAK broken a dozen egga Into the pARahe'Mk up the candle nnd a pitcher that held aewit six quarts, aad lifting a trap In the ktfehen floor she descended to the cellar. Henry Bolts was not a humorist, nnd hia iat AsaaVjaVAsSMHavV ' few Jokes were of a practical kind. Tho Inttnnt Mario dlMtpiR-nred hoaklppeddown stairs in light marching order, broke nn othcrdoxrn eggs Into the mn, then tklpied back again, nnd gluing his eyes to a crock he chuckled: "As ileni eggs vos not Mine dot vos a pooty goot shokcon Mnrio," Marie soon reappeared, but to Henry HolU's horror, Instead of setting tho table for six at U'list, she set It for one. She piled the eggs on onedlsh without noticing tho Inert'itse, then she (toured out a mug of elder, placed n large dish of bread within easy reach, and began to eat in n way that diixrcd tho watcher till hia head began to swim. At first he had it dim notion that she doubted his love and had hit upon this plan of committing suicide, but her sighs of delight as elder, bread, eggs and ham disappeared soon convinced him that his suspicions wcro on the wrong track. "(lott In lllintuell" ho groaned, as Mnrio finished tho first dozen eggs and began en ergetically on the second, "U dot do girl dot don'd can swallow a pen bud veil It vos shopped In tw'or" At length Mario pushed back her chair. The ham, bread and cider were gone, and only one egg remained. Then pressing her red hands midway of her apron, the gentle Mario slghedi "Ach; listen Helnrlch, dot van doo drue. I peau In lofe, oh, so mooch. Vonco I could eat twelf eggs, bud now I can only eleven get away mlt. Oh, lofel Oh, lofel" And Helnrlch groaned, "Mien Gottl" A Shrewd Sentinel. This story of Frederick tho Great wna told mo by a young soldier In Derlin, who vouched for Its nccurncy, and I can find no good reason for doubting his word, now that I am In America I know It would have been positively dangerous to have dono so In his presence. The kingdom was at length nt pearc, and Frederick selected to guard the palace at Potsdam a lot of his oldest and most faith, fill veterans. These men soon learned that the same vigilance was not needed about the ixilace that was tca,ulrcd in tho pres ence of the enemy, no they gradually fell into thu comfortable habit of snoozing In their sentry boxes. This delinquency wn reported to tho king, but Instead of showing auger ho de termined to play a practical Joke on the sleeping veterans nnd at the same tlino find an opportunity to read them a lec ture. It had been his custom to present to each of the veterans at Christmas n purse con taining twenty pieces of gold, so he set Christmas eve for the night when he should visit the posts atxmt tho palace, where there were always twelve men on guard. Ho made tho rounds nt midnight nnd found every man asleep In Ills box, then lie returned to tho palace and camu back with the twelve purses. Carefully he tied one to each soldier's musket and then went to bed to await developments. Now, it so chanced that one of tho sol diers, who had been asleep when Frederick made his first tour of Inspection, woke up In the meantime, nnd recognizing the king by tho light of n lamp, nnd seeing him fas tening something to the arms of the som nolent guards, ho determined to remain quiet. Without n word tho king treated him ns ho had tho others, nnd ns soon as ho was gone tho veteran felt the purse nnd count ed thu money. Then ho reasoned after this fashion: "My comrades nre nil nslcep, nnd ns they can know nothing nbout tho king's gift, why, It stands to reason that they will never miss it." Acting on this hint tho old soldiery's Itcd all his comrades, relieved them of their purses, then went back to his box and slept in earnest till he was relieved. Tho next morning the king summoned the twelve sleepers before him, told them that he had visited them nt their posts the night beforo and nsked them to tell their dreams. With confusion cloven of them confessed that they had been asleep, but had dreamed nothing. The twelfth man then ap proached, and with a profound bow to the king, saldt "Sire, I dreamed that n person, who very much resembled your majesty, visited us last night, und, finding us all aslcop, with drew, but soon came back with a lot of purses which he thoughtfully fastened to tho musket of each. Then I dreamed tlmt I was In dread lest somo ono not so honest as myself might chance along and rob my comrades, whereon, still dreaming, I went out and gathered in all tho money, nor felt overweighted with the burden." From this Frederick Inferred that the old fellow luul not been asleep nt nil. So, after the iv inner of kings, who have lots of money without work, he told the veteran to keep all tin- purses, nnd he deferred his usunl presents to the others till the next year. It waa evidently the purpose of the hon est sentinel to keep nil the purses If Fred erick hod not asked for an explanation; all of which goes to prove that dishonesty la sometimes tho most paying policy. At Stone River. In the battle of Stone 'Jlver, while our men were watting dismounted in a jungle of scrub oaka and dwarf cedars, from which we expected the eueiny every mo ment, a brace of wild turkeys, so paralyzed with fright that they went incapable of flying, ran down between the contending lines, but much as they wcro desired not n shot was fired nt the poor creatures. On this part of tho Held we were so close to the enemy that we could hear them talking, and tho clicking of the rifle ham mers as tney were raised to put on enpn were distinctly audible. Of course this was only during a brief cessation in the storm of death. Once more the battle tido swept down to the jungle, and the birds rose up and flew about as if bewildered. Again thu storm lulled, and we heard a yell nnd n laugh coming from the direction of thu men In gray, Thu cause of this out of placu merriment was soon evident to the men in blue, who saw a rabbit with its hit of a white tail turned over its back fairly flying south . tween the lines. While bunny was still In sight a sten torian voice called out from the Confeder ate side: "Go it, cottontalll If it wasn't for my doggone pride I'd be keeplu you comp'nyl" And as he luul expressed the feelings of more than one man on either side, a shout of approving laughter went up that for the moment drowned out the ceaseless roar of the battle.

This Is especially rue of the natives of Australia, who, while they are cun ningly diverting your iittentloli with their hands, nre busily engaged committing robberies with their toes, with which they pick up all small articles aa na elephant would with Ids trunk. Si. Ixmls Ilepublle. How to Remove Kb;k Stain. Egg stains may bo removed from sil ver by rubbing thv metnl vigorously with common tubto suit. How to Saddle a Horse. Tliis would seem to bo a very simple matter, nnd yet it is so rnro that n groom knows how to do it properly that every careful horsemen should know how it should lie dono, nnd ho should never mount his horse without making n thot ough examination of saddlo, blanket, girths and stirrup leathers. Tho saddle blanket with round corners in front and points behind should bo placed on the horse's back and enro taken that thero aro no wrinkles In it; the saddlo should then be placed on tho back of the hone just behind the withers nnd so that the weight of tiie rider shall not bear on tho withers and inako tho bock of tho horse sore; tho girths thero should with an English saddlo always bo two should bo fastened so that they bear directly from tho center of tho saddlo and ono girth should lap well over tho other. Thero is no use in drawing girths un comfortably tight, but they should never bo loose, ns in that enso tho movement of tho Buddie to and fro will certainly inako tho horse's back sore. Tho object is merely to secure tho saddlo so that it will stay firmly in its place. Tho con formation of tho back of each horsoiiiust determine in each instance tho exact place of tho saddlo, but it should bo, ns a rule, a few inches behind tho withers. How to Olid on Glass. Dlfisolvo in boiled linseed oil nn equal weight of cither copal or amber, and add enough oil of turiientinu to thin suffi ciently to apply to glass. Mnko tho glas3 quite hot Apply tho size, put on the gold leaf, sweeping olf superfluous por tions. When quite cold lay n piece of Indian paper over tho work and polish with it burnisher. How to Mnko an Apology. For a stiff necked man, who In his van ity mid elf conceit is fond of believing that lie is always in tho right, nothing is uioro dlfllcult than for him oven when ho Is sure ho is in tho wrong to apologize with frankness and humility. When self interest does bring such i man to own that ho is wrong and to suo for par don hn usually makes tho ainendo honor ablo so clumsily that ho increases rather than wipes out his original offense. It is often hard to acknowledge, that ono has been iu tho wrong, und especially so when iu disputo hot and angry words have been spoken. This is mudo even harder when thero is a differenco of posi tion between tho persons who have had a controversy. It is hard for an em ployer to npologlzo to his employee, and the opposite is also hard. But there is but ono vrny for all. If you aro wrong go to the person uggrieved by your Injus tice as soon ns you clearly see that you have been wrong nnd say bo with entire frankness and candor and say that yon are sorry. Don't whlno, and don't at tempt to justify yourself, but bo simple nnd manly, and if the good opinion of tho person to whom you thus go bo worth having you will regain it. When a fault has been acknowledged, apologized for and forgiven, never under any circum stances refer to it again. It is then as though it hnd novcr been, and there is nothing left to talk nbout. Somo per sons, having been a party to a quarrel, never tiro of referring to it This kind of nagging will break up any friendship and array on hostilo sides tho persons around a domestic hearth who should sit thero in peace and harmony.

See that hor shoulders lire squarely to the front; Unit her left knee is close to tho horn, so that she way press hard against it if necessary, nnd closo to the saddle flap as well. This will prevent "rocking." Seo that her hands remain steady, und that in rising her stomach and back do not fall into the ungraceful seesaw movement. The corsets should bo particularly loosely laced. How to Car for Ulrds, Always use a large cage. Keep plenty of gravel in the gravel pan in tho bot tom of tho cage. Hang a small red pep per iu the cage nnd spriuklo a very small quantity of Hungarian or bird pepper in the cups. L:ittuce leaves and plantain seed in moderation are good. Feed a little hard boiled egg and Irish potato once a week, und a littlo finely chopped beef bnco a month. Never feed salt. How to Detect Smallpox. Smallpox is more to be dreaded than any other eruptive disease. Intense headache, backache and high fever first, with thirst and frequently delirium, and then tho eruption. Smallpox pustules aro always square, and they uro general ly in clusters of three to five close to gether, but in very bad cases tfiey cover the whole surface. They nre at first a sort of salmon pink on u red background, changing to yellow and later to brown scabs. All eruptions show first near Oio small of tho back and on the stomach. In cube of any of the symptoms named above a physician should bo sent for at once, and the child isolated and kept in bed uutil the doctor seas it at least. -THE OLD CARPET, DRAPERY AND FURNITURE PALACE, LINCOLN, Our Drapery Department is now complete and we will offer Monday, March 28th Pairs of HottiiKbim Lace 280 " Irish Point " " 3 75 300 " Tamboir " " 5 00 " 350 " Brussels " 10 00 400 " Chenille ' " 5 00 These i;ootls nrc all choice NEW GOODS com prising.thc very latest novelties from the best fac tories in bwitzcrland.
