On one occasion hu drove to church at quaiterly meeting time, and the presiding ulder was there nnd quite a large concourse of people from other town who were not used to such an amazing chariot. I'tUU'o came late, as tuual, and attracted the attention of thu youiiK people, who began to titter at thu unusual sK'ctaclo. Thu presiding elder looked up ami, discerning thu cause of thu merriment, said dryly: "Don't let that old Ko-cart disturb you.

However that maybe, the following Instance may be vouched fon In Windsor lived a man naru'd Ilrowu, one. of Frlsliee's nclghlHir. lit dwelling wax a log house with puncheon roof held down by poles.

At about sundown two elaborately dressed youths were seen to ride down thu road on horseback, headed toward a neigh boring town. As luck would have It, they were obliged to pass old Frisbce'a cabin, and that worthy sat at his door placidly pulling the fragrant weed. The Inhabit ants for several miles around were treated to the following monologue: "Wall, boys, yer uoln a-nparkln, nln't yef Wall, I -kinder thought ye looked thet way.

It seems as though children were subject to every Imaginable sort of accident. In deed their mishaps are of a more varied nature than those that torment grown peo ple. The other day a llt,tlo daughter of Charles Davis, of Wilbur, Wash., while running around alone fell Into a badger hole, and It took two hours' hunting to And her. It was only by accident she wna found nt all, and nothing but her little hut,' which was tits I to her head, was to bu seen above the surface. Her mouth and eyes were nearly Ailed with dirt, and she had cried until she was too weak to cry more. Tragedy of Japanese rolltlci. Feminine.

Tho petals should bo gath ered wlion fresh blown, and not toe much dried. Thu fragrance of rosea Is so delicutu there is no danger of having too much unless, perhaps, in tho casu of tho woman who kept a stonu churn tilled with rose leaves in her parlor, and stirred them up with tho dasher but most of our native growths nio so strong in essential oil it takes but a pinch of them to give tho faint aroma so pleasing in our drawers aud boxes.

Ilnniiiiice nf a Coin. It wns a Mexican dollar, from which the Imprint of the government had been re moved, so that instead of a coin it seemed to be an engraved disk of silver until the owner opened It and disclosed a charming miniature. "I can tell you a thrilling story about a dollar like that," said its owner to a Hoston Herald reporter. "When I was In New Mexico I knew a young man who had a dollar similar to this, only that It contained the miniature of a lady whose husband was a regular fire eater. He was a fighter from the word go the worst lu town. One day tho young man and I went to the races together. "My friend had the souvenir dollar In his pocket, aud In the excitement gave it to tlie pool seller with three ordinary dol lars. It wns much lighter than thedolhirs, but that was not noticed, as It was stacked up with them. My friend did not find out what he had done until we hnd left the race track. Then ho was tho worst scared man you ever saw. The original of the miniature was well known, nnd It meant death for somoliody if the hollowed out dollar got Into her husband's hands. First I went to the banks, hut it had not Is-en offered there. Then I went to all thu faro banks aud told the dealers that I would give ten dollars for that particular coin For three days we wero In au agony ol stupense, nnd when tho missing coin final ly turned up- at a faro table my friend thought It was tho cheapest money hu had ever got hold of."
