the worthy old couple.
"Go on, Uncle Ren." canio from
pvcry side; and Uncle Ren, you may
horsurc, waited for no second invita

"Peggy was left an orphan while
very young; but an uncle, as had sonic
properly an' no children, tuck her home
an' brung her up, an1 when he died left
her nil he had.
' It war' n't thai, let me say, as made

told.3'ou how han'some she was; but
even eft lind been her money I was
after, I'd precious little chance of ever
gcttiu' it, for bj'her uncle's will, cf she
married 'ithout the consent o' Josh' way
Sprcckle, her guardcen, she lost all;
and there was about as much prospect
of JoIi Spreckle conscntin' to her mar
ryin' me as there was of his doin' an
other good-natur'd thing.
" 'cofO',u me'd talked the thing over,
an' come to an uiulerstandin' that as
soon as I'd scraped together enough
for a start, we'd hitch teams for bet
ter or wtiss, 'ithout ain' Mr. Sprec
klc's leave, let the money go where it
mout.
One da-1 had to take a trip to a
ncighborin' settlement. The countn
was new ami wild then, an' my way laid
through the woods. As tho weather
was hot an' 1113- walk to be a long one,
I did'nt keer to kern- more weight' n
necessary, an' so left 1113 rille al home,
4Arter trudgin' a spell I got into a
deep thicket, an' poot- soou I hcarn
loud hollcrin' as of somebod3- callin' for
help.

long come to the edge of a deep gulch
'ith steep walls o' rock on botli sides,
an' a ragm' stream dashin' along at tho
bottom.
44 On t'other side, up in the crotch of
a tree, sot a man shoutin' murder,1 's
loud as he could screech; an' on tho
f 'round below a big bear, squatlin' on
lis ha'nehes, was lookin' up an' lickin'
his lips mighty wishful like.
44 Hello!' sa3-s 1 'what's tho mat
ter?' "The man turned his head, an' lo'n
behold, who should it be but Josh' way
Sprcckle!
'Good mornin'. Squire,' says I.
Josh' way, you see, 'd been lately 'lectcd
Jcstice o' the Peace, an' liked bein'
called b3 his 1100 title.
" 4 Good mornin'. Ucnjamin,' sa3s he;
4 I'm ever so much glad to see 3'ou.'
An' for the fust time in his life he
looked' s cf he r'aly was.
4 You seem to bo in a poot' tight
place. Squire,' says I.
"I m,' says he. 4Iwent out hunt
in' this mornin', an' all of a suddent
that devoarin' monster 3'ou sec there
come rushin' at me full split out o' tho
bushes. 1 tips an' blazes awa but
hcvin' no time for a stidity aim, made
a clean miss, an' the savage critter
conic tearin' on maddcr'n afore. Of
course 1 had to run fo't, an' arter a
sharp race bareby succeeded in scrab
blin' up here.1
44 1 must confess I felt consid'rablo
much like remainin' nootral. How
sever, says I at last:
"What kin I do for 3-011. Squire?
You see I've got no gim.'
" 'There's a 3'oung tree over there,1
Fays he, 4lcanir? over the gulch from
j-our side. You kin climb up into it,
Cm' let 3'ourself drap over here. My
tun's but a little ways back 3'ondcr, an'
I kin throw you my powder-horn an'
lullet-pouch, an' 3011 Kin load up an'
. Jhoot the bear with no trouble at all.'
44 'An' what'll the boar be doin1 all
.the while?' says I. 'He's a lookin' at
me from the tail of his eye this minnit,
an' I'm afcard ef I drap over thero it'll
be plump into his jaws. There's only
one tiling to do,' says I, 4an' that's to
go'n fetch my rille an' shoot the var
ment from over here.1
I guess
that's so,'
says he; 'but
don't bo eono long. The desp'rit
brute's made two or three attempts to
i-hin up hero a' read, an' there's no
knowin' how soon he ma succeed.''
'There's one thing I'd like to men
tion afore goin'. Squire,' says I. ' Pvo
'had it on ni3' mind for some time.1
" 4 What's that?' sa3s he.
" 4 Your ward, Peggj" White'
44 'Well?' sa3's he, cockin' tip 0110 car.
44 4 1 want your consent to her'n me
gittin' married,' says I, spcakiu' squar'
out.
44 He giv' a look at mo'n then one at
tho bear. It was rnorc'n a minnit afore
lie spoke. I seed there was a powerful
in'ard struggle goin' on. Ev'rybody
knowed Josh' way Sprcckle' d sot his
heart on marryin' Pegg3 to a nephew
v of his'n, so's to keep licr money in the
' family; an' I've no doubt he was do
batin', jest then, whether to tell me to
go to Old Scratch, takin' his own
chances of tirin' out the bear's patienco,
or to buy 1113' help with fair promises.
Now Josh' way was a prudent man, an'
a strict believer in the doctrine of self
preesarvation. So'tlast says he:
44 4AIr. Hunter, Pve long "had my eye
on j'ou as a suitable match for Peggy.'

Fashionable Colors.
The passion for- Moorish and Persian
colors issnow at its height, and wonder
ful results are produced by manufactur
ers of fabrics by the peculiar methods)!
blending hues and the throwing of one
tint oyer another, creating liimiuou?
lights, as in the golden c:ist over blue,
green or cardinal, " a coup de solicit
or red over olive and bronze, called
44 flame reflection;" silver over light
blue, "moonlight;" steel over spring
leaf green, a gossamer sheen," all
very beautiful ami fashionable. There,
is something almost enchanting about
these rare blcndings and changeiul lus
ters, but now and then one is startled
by striking com bi nations and clashes" of
coloring., not in the bold strokes of the
Japanese paint-brush so much as in the
French method of using a color of one
tone with another hue, shaded with the
tone of coloring in the combination, as
in a dress of plush and satin; the.iatiu
is cardinal with a tinge of olive, and
the plush portions arc m olive shaded
with cardinal.
A most striking reception-drcs is al
black and moire antique, with the addi
tion of moonlight "blue in squares and
diamonds. The front skirt is a mass ol
plaitings of the moire antique from
waist line down to lower edge. The
satin train is long ami square, with
finishing of, rose ydaitings of moire,
which trimming is carried up at the.
sides to meet the edge of corsage
basque and is passed under the dia
monds of blue satin let in, tho lower
edge being completed with a quilling
of handsome lace. Rlue satin square?,
rather smaller in size than those on the
basque skirt, from the outsides of the
quaint sleeves and a larger-shaped
piece tills in tho square or Pompadour
neck. That part is bordered and stud
ded with Marguerites, and frills of rose
point lace the dress at throat and at the
wrists.
A rather complicated dress is of vel
vet moire and .-atin. The front oi
skirt is of moire and satin in alternating
clusters of tiny knife-plaitings, the
corsage vest being en suite, only the
plaits arc still smaller than those on
the skirL The very long train is ot
black volvet. which rich fabric also
forms the jacket worn open over the
plaited vest! High inedino collar and
sleeves after the same period are both
edired with a plaiting of costly Duchesse
lsee.
That black is popular this season fot

b3 the addition of coloring in flowers
and ribbons, and rich with laces. Avery
costlj costume is made of watered silk,
with long train, trimmed with a knife
edgo ' of satin and rose quilling o!
moire. The corsage is princess in the
back with pointed basque front, and
the sleeves are puffed at tho tops and
fitted below tiie elbows in Marguerite
st3-le. The front of skirt is of handsome
satin, shirred at waist-line, with plait
ings below down to edge, which is fin
ished with knifo plaiting. Over the
front of the skirt a scarf of moire, bor
dered with a rich fretted passemente

fringe, is passed diagonally, and tho
sides of the train falling over the
front width are decorated with tho
rich passementerie and falls of jet beads

A very quaint dinner dress is of hand

A Rad Medicine Man.
The following is related by an army
oflicer who witnessed the occurrence-
A clerk in the Agency store at Fort
Reno, in the Indian Territory, a short
time before the last total eclipse of tho
sun. informed the Indians that on a
certain da- (naming that on which the
eclipse would take place) he would
proceed to put out the sun, and if they
would assemble at that time, they could
witness the performance. The Indians
professed not to believe what he said,
but he assured them he would certain
ly do all ho promised, and iwhon the
day arrived, it brought a large number
of "the noble red men to witness the
sun's extinction. A few minutes be
fore thatimofixed by the astronomers
for the observation to begin, the wag
mounted himself on an empty sugar
hogshead :uid began his incantation.
Presently the sun began to disappear,
and the "sons of the forest" evinced,
unmistakable signs of uneasiness, which
increased as the performance' pro
gressed, until, a short t;mo beforcfthe
sun disappeared entirely, they rushed
upon the magician, exclaiming: "Rad
medicine man! pat out sun!" and
would have dispatched him in short
order had they not been restrained by
tho soldiers who had gathered to see

W 1211 fc3 1U1 AUOi&u .ll3. A. iJllfrj'WFOU
that a r lady whom I, saw last summer
ma'bc taken as a-'goncral exemplifica
tion of a great mairy mothers. She had
iuonoy;aud .plentyor,wit, and, in the
main, 'excellent sense.-" She hail two
beautiful 3'oung daughters of thirteen
and fifteen beautitul, except . thatt
neither had beautiful feet. Those
members had been atufl'od ntjyrrlojiv
soled, narrow-heeled, narrow-toed,
high-licclcd sbocvuutil the feet were
shockingly defnrrued.--fc Tho father of
the girls was a large shoe-dealer. His
son's feet were veiy finely shaped, lie
wore broad-soled, broad-toed, low
heeled shoes,. Why the feet jof the
'daughters had not bo"eH "allowed an
"equal chance in the world'-with those of
the son I couldn't well make out. One
of the girls was wearing shoulder
braces to make her straight, and one
da as tho mother was deploring the
child's round shoulders, I ventured to
sa3' that I thought low-heeled shoes
would be better for her. " I quite agree
with 3-011," exclaimed the mother.
44 The girls wear too high heels all the
time, but somehow we neglect liaving
the heels cut off. Rut it must by. done."
Whether the cutting-down 'process has
begun 1 don't know, but I thought if
those girls were under my control not
tweiii3"-four hours would pass before
their feet went into "common-sense"
shoes.
Tn'o class of pcoplo are qu'ckcr to re
spond to the demands of the public
than are manufacturers, and if birj'ors
demand a certain sort of shoe they will
very soon get it. It is possible that in
a great inany country towns low-hecl-od,
broad-soled .shoes cannot so readily
be had as the reverse. Rut the high
heel can always be lowered by having
tlie shoe dealer cut oil' several layers of
leather. lie never likes to do it, and
will tr3' to convince you that the heel is
none too high, etc.. etc. Rut if 3-011 in
sist upon it he will cut the heel down
to suit you sooner than lose 3-our cus
tom. That children with crooked and
bow-legs, turned-over ankles and other
weaknesses of feet and legs so abound
among the lower classes is not at all to
be wondered at when one considers Iho
extremely' bad way in which U103 are
usualU;- shod. Mr. Reecher not long
ago put into a pr.-ryer this sentence:
Lord, help us to be patient with the
ignorance of others." To combat ignor
ance is, beyond all doubt, the most
diflicultnnd tr3ing thing humanitarians
have to encounter. Rut I believe that
as much harm results from procrastina
tion and carelessness and a lack of
energy in instituting reforms where in
telligence exists as from ignorance. If
people would 01113- do as we'l as they
know, the world would take a long leap
ahead. High heels ami narrow soles
arc almost as bad as the Chinese method
of compression. The dwarf King of
France who brought them into fashion
to increase his apparent stature prob
ably never dreamed how many fools
there were adown the generations of
time to imitate his example. The
beauty of any member of the bod3 con
sists in its outline its shapeliness and
proporttomte si.e, instead of its little
ness. A small foot, or hand, is only
comely in connection with a small per
son, while aii3" part of the body that has
been made small by compression is sim
ply vulgar. Freedom is as necessatyto
beauty as purity, and there is no free
dom where nature is being cruclh
violated, as she maintains her rights
most brave'3, and when overpowered
leaves in her train a line of woes full of
torture and humiliation. Finail do
not omit to keep high heels from under
thc3oung pcoplo's feet Mary Wager

Jimmy Brown's Circus.
We had a private circus at our hoifse
last night at least .that's what father
called it, and he setnied to enjoy it It
happened" ih t Ms way. T went Into" the
back narlor one evening, because I
wanted to see Mr. Travers. He and
Sue,alwa3'3 sit there'. It asgrowing
rmite dark when I we"nt in and going
toward the sofa, I happened to walk
against arockingrckair
that was rock-
inr"all by itself, whicli, 'come
to think
01 it, was a curious thing, and I m 'go
ing to ask somebody about it. I didn't
mind walking mto -the chair, for it
didn'tliurt jutimuch, only I knocked it
over, and it hit Sue, and she said- "Oh
niy, get ma something quiek!7 and then
fainted awa. Mr. 'Praters was dread
fully frightened,-nnd said, "Run, Jim
my, and, get tjic eologue, or tho bay
rum, or something.1" So I ran up to
Sae's room, and felt round in the dark
for her bottle Of cologne that she al
ways keeps on her bureau. I found a
bottle after a minute' or two. and ran
down and gave it to Mr. Travers, and
he bathed Sue's face as well as he could
in the dark, and she came to ami said:
44 Do 3'ou want to put my eyes out?"
Just then the front-door bell rang,
and Mr. Rradturd (our new "minister)
and his wife and three daughters and
his son came in: Sue jumped up and
ran into the front parlor to light the
gas, and Mr. Travers came to help her.
They just got-Jt lit when the visitors
came in. and father and mother came
dowii'stairs to meet them, Mr. Rrail
fordJlookiy'sas if. he had seen a ghost,

and mother just burst out laughing, and
caid: " Susan, you and Mr. Travers
seem to have had an accident with the
inkstand."
You never saw such a sight as thoc
'fiooryTmliirpcpTri-
a mistake, and brought down a bottle
of liquid blacking the samo that I
blacked the babv with that time. Mr.

You couldn't have any idea how
angry Sue was with me just as if it
was my fault, when all I did was to go
up stairs ,for her, and gel a bottle to
bring her to with; and it would have
bceiT all right if she hadn't left the
blacking bottle on her burcai; and I
don't call that tidy.'if she is a girl. Mr.

the a'ed mother of Assemblyman Pel

of the value of ?Ji).tnn. The confi-'

abjured to maintain the priciest t,c

Since the recpipt of the charge Mrs.
Del Valle h:u undergone, as can be
said of nearly ovorv. old Califoniian
serious reverses of fortune. She is said
to "Have had a bitter '.struggle of lifo.

did she turn to the trea-urc in her owu

that of 'her family. Her husband was
ignorant; until TecVntlv, of the wealth
in her possession. Mws Blanco grew
up to maidenhood also ignorant ot the
lucky windfall in store for her. She
became of marriageable tige, and a
short time ago entered into tlie bond.sJ
of matrimony with a---ung American
of Santa Rarbara. I jon the morn ng
of the wedding da which proved
such a grand surprise lo her and her

presented the young bride with the
treasure already mentioned, besides
the trousseau that her deceased mother
had worn on her own wedding daj.
Thus Mrs. Del Valle fullilled to the

The conjunctiva (ns-thc termination

A foreign body benqath the eyelid
soon inflames it." Such a body beneath
the upper lid is not as readilv detected
as one beneath the lower, and it is hard

A child that" had-long-suffered from
what was supposed to be catarrhal in
flammation, and for which it had been
energetically treated, onr- lo grow
worse, was brought to Dr. Rroosa, pro
fessor of ophthalmology iu the IS'ew

" A frightful encounter with a wild-bat

light in his hand, but a giist of wind ex
tinguished it, and almost simultaneous

then felt the animal's claws lacerating
the flesh of his face and neck. Tlie afc
tack was ""so sudden and unexpected
that .Charlie was f4aT rfme" overcome.
He soon recovered, however, and a
terrible conttict ensued in the dark.
The -011ng man was not long in realiz

ed his assailant with both hands in a
death-like grip, and commenced as
cending the steps. When near the top
the animal wrenched itself from- his
hold and ran rapidly up the steps into
a small apartment in the rear portion
of the saloon, known as the lamp-room.
Charlie called to- his assistance Taylor

found tlie house all in a commotion,

laudable desire to make a good lir-t
impression on the rich brother-in-law
whom he had never seen.
"How does he loo?" he inquired of
Mrs. J., as he.stood at the hat-rack ad

awhile and then went into the waiting

silence were so oppressive that soon, he
began to nod, and the next moment, ho
was asleep.
He was awakened bv a hand on his
shoulder. A little, roly-poly man with
his neck tied up in a red woolen com
forter, and with features like those of a
bron'.e statue puckered into a mass of
wrinkles, held an old sachel tied pp j
with twine in one baud, while with tho '
other he shook the indignant Jones.
