"Years ago," mused Alabama Ike as he
deftly filled his pipe from the hollow of
hit band, ';ers S there were a techio
little ro-mance of true love e-nacted in
this yere com-munity."
"Tell us a-bout it, Alabamy, asked
oue of the citizens of Red Dog.
"Waal, one hot day in August, one of
tbeni days when a feller 'feels like layin
finder a tree instidder workin, th' stage
bowls inter town, . en a couple de-scends
from th vehicle, which we at once sizes
up as e-lopers. She were a light, haired
lady, a sun bonnet en caliker gown, en he
were a gent with a big mustache, six
shooters en Mexican spurs. They goes
at once t' th' Eagle ho-tel en signs on th
register 'Misses Lisa Johnson, Arizony,
en 'Nevady Bill, Nevady.' They then in
quires of the ho-tel clerk whar they can
git a-holt of a parson, as they wants t
set married, en th' clerk informs 'em that
th' only minister he knows of at present
is a-settin in th ho-tel, en th' preacher is
p'inted out a-settin at a table a-sleep.
Then th' groom asks Poker Jack en his
friend. Cactus Bill, t drink t' his health.
'Fer I'm a-goin t get married,' explains
th' stranger.
'What may be th' bride's name?' asks
Poker Jack, po-lite like, as he hands out
th" jig jooce.
" "Lire Johnson of Arizony,' answers
th' stranger as be histes his glass. 'Here's
luck, gentlemen!'
'"Poker Jack's chin fell, en he nearly
fainted- Th' strapger en-deavors t'
wake up Divinity Da, th preacher, but
'tain't no use, so he leaves, statiu he'll re
turn in a few hours.
" 'It's ail up! sez Poker Jack t' Cac
tus Bill. 'She's here!'
" 'Are you sure it's her?' asked Cactus.
'I know it. I glimpsed her as she gi'.s
offn th stage. When did you say yoa
hooked up with her?'
'In '72 in Chicago, answers Cactus.
En you?'
'In '72 in Denver after you skipped
out en left her. I skins out in '78 myself,
en I guess she thinks we is both dead.
Tell you what we'd better do. Keep Di
vinity Dave full of jig jooce so's he won't
be able t' marry 'em until we see th lov
in couple en explains,' says Poker Jack.
"Waal, that same evenin them two. de
funct husbands calls on Nevady Bill en
his prospective wife en explains things,
Mrs. Liza Johnson she had also married
a one eyed feller name of Johnson in
Cheyenne since Poker Jack skips out
this ! rom er Dut this yere Johnson was dead
J shore enough was dumfoundered when
: she sees her two former husbands walk
in, but Cactus Bill sets down en outlines
; a plan by follerin which all '11 be plain
sailin fer th' lovin couple. He states that
he has fixed it with th' jedge of th' Bed
Dog deestrect court, en the next mornin
he will a-ply fer a di-vorce frum Liza
Johnson, en as soon as it are granted
Poker Jack'll a-ply fer another.
"The' jedge are deeply in debt t' both
Cactus en Poker en have promised t'
grant th' di-vorces.
"This yere statement satersfys Liza
Johnson en Nevady Bill, en they rests
easy. Th' nex' mornin Cactus a-plys fer
a di vorce from Liza Johnson, claimin
she are more con-trary than ar buckin
broncho, cusses like lightnin en has cold
feet.
"Th jedge are deeply in debt t both
are this so, en Liza swears it are gospel
trewth, as she are also in a hurry t' git
th' di-vorce. The jedge grants th de
cree en signs th' papers, en then up
steps Poker Jack, who asks fer a di
vorce on th groun s of extreem ma
lignity of temper en general cussedcess.
In fact, we almost thinks Jack goes too
fer in bis swearin, fer he jes' tears that
there woman's reppy-tation, ef she ever
had enny, fer peacefulness, sobrietee en
trewthfulness. t' flinders.
" 'Are it so?' asks the jedge, turnin t'
Lira.
" 'It are, beyond doubt,' answers Liza.
' 'Then I grants th' second di-vorce,'
sez th' jedge.
"'Waal,' yells Nevady Bill, 'ef all
them, there facts is true 'bout this yere
woman's dispersition I'm durned ef I'm
a-goin t' marry her! I'd jes as leave be
hitched t a laffin hyener er a grizzly!'

Tiie loupeskt time that is known to
have elapsed between be tiring1 of a
shell acd its explosion is 44 years.
Recently a hU which had been fired
into the Huseian harbor of Sebastopol
during- the Crimean war at least 44
year ago was hauled up by some
fishermen, and it exploded on being
taken from the water, killing one of
the men and wounding several of the
others, notwithstanding the long
period which had elapsed since it had
left the British gun which fired it.
Finds of shells are exceedingly dan
gerous, if they happen to be unex
plored ones, as a aimilar accident
happened cot long since at Bolton-le-ivacda,
where a dredger Darned Wil
aon fihlicd up one that had been fixed
from the artillery camp at Bare, and
took it home. An attempt to break
It up cost him an eye, a foot and a
broken bead, beside causing serious
damage to property.
The Vlelaalladea of War.
Henry Labouchere, while addressing
a jeace meeting In England, was hit on
the head "'y a flying chair, and a num
ber of his hearers had to be taken home
in ambulances. The Chicago Times
Herald concludes that Henry must be
osf of thoae who will hare peace, even
if they are compelled to fight for it.

Shipbuilding in Japan is flourishing

1 " 'You're both a-goin t do jes' as I
! say! You. Biil. come yere en stand at my
side, en you, Dave, pulls your pra'r bock
afore I bars down on th triggers!'
"Poker Jack en Cactus Bill both pulls
i their guns en points out t' Nevady en th
i minister that they has kept their part of
j th' bargain, en if Nevady don't marry
; th' woman they will jes' shoot both Ne
vady en see which one of 'em will marry
Liza over again, so th' pros-pective
groom gives in, en th cer-mony are pre
formed. "All of which goes t' make up as inter

novel book, either do-mesticated or em
ported." concluded Alabamy. St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.
'Ucnar, Not Omar.
Stanhope Sams, a student of the Ru
baiyat, says in the New York Times that
the spelling of the name of the Persian
poet should be 'Umar instead of Omar.
In explanation he writes: "I can only
gay that the spelling 'Umar' is the way
In which the immortal tentmaker wrota
Lis own name. Moreover, there is no let
ter or sound of o in the Persian. The ac
cent, or stress, is on the last syllable,
both of "Umar and of Khayyam. as is
the case with all Persian words, with
perhaps a dozen exceptions. When writ
tea 'Omar, there is a noticeable tenden
cy to pronounce the name with the first
syllable stressed, which is anathema to
the real student of 4 'Umar.' "
It may be added that the apostrophe
in ' 'Umar" and other Persian words
stands for an unspoken consonant, gh,
which had already disappeared in pro
nunciation at the time of " 'Umar.'

A Schoolboy' Poaer.
It has been discovered by a writer in
The Academy that the ordinary English
man is averse from the poets because he
was made to learn Gray's "Elegy" in his
youth. But that all schoolboys do not
know Gray's "Elegy" is quite certain
from an answer given in a recent exami
nation. "Chaucer," wrote the sapient
youth, "is chiefly famous as the author
of 'Gray's Elegy of Ancient Rome.'"
This boy'a "dark, unfathomed caTes" of
ignorance were not due to poor Gray.
