An Old Pbyslelan Tells of Dylns; Wo man's Stranse Bequest. The old doctor was in rather a sentimen tal mood. I have noticed that of all liquors to make people sentimental hot Scotch whisky seems to be tho mo3t effective. It mellows the emotion, so to speak, and plays on the lachrymal ducts. Strange tbat from such a bleak, cold country should come the mosteraotiouul of liquors. A man when he is full of hot Scotch whis ky becomes affectionate and kindly and quotes poetry sentimental poetry. The old doctor had been talking very sentimen tally about sick people and death, and other cheerful themes. "Ah, well," he said. Tve bepn a doctor forty years. I have seen many sad scenes; but I never stood at a deathbed without mourning for the living." "I have seen some laughable things, too," said the doctor. "Human nataro comes out when people are very sick. I was called iu once to nttend a lady who was taken sud denly ill and was quite sure she was going to die. There was nothing very serious tho matter with her but she was quite sure her end was near. " 'Doctor,' she said, I know I am going to die. Don't tell my husband, but let mo ask one favor before I go.' "What is it?" I asked. " -Whisper, doctor. Ask Mary to fix my bangs before tbey bnry me.' " New York Xews.

How I havopreyel on busy men Whose timo was all employed I I've wondered in and out again, While dozens I've annoyed. I've made men break engagements And wreck their trades, alas 1 For, having naught my time to take. I bother him who has. In summer when the weather's warm I close the doors aU tight; But leavo them in the. winter's storm Wide open, with delight. I smoko a horrid cigar. Which I myself abhor; Folks wish 'twere somewhero very for That's what I smoke it for. To-night while at the theater I talked about the play, So that a score or more could her And wish me far away. Between the acts I wandered on. And managed to be gone Until I knew beyond a donbs The play again was on. and so I'm glad of my success In efforts to annoy And drive away the happiness That makes this world a joy. So now I'll play my cracked cornet Ere I to rest repair; The neighbors will their dreams forget And want to wildly swear. Chicago Herald. DON. BY ESTHER SERLE KENNETH. "You are not afraid?" "No; I am not afraid." Bird Donaldson's eyes wore as clear as the starlight under which she stood, slender and snnple in her black habit, with her lover and two horse-3. The house above them loomed silent and still. Childreth's face showed pale un der the slouched black hat ho wore, as he tossed her into the paddle. Site pressed his hand. "Do not fear for me. I shall go through. I will go with you any where." He hold his arm about her in tho sad dle for a moment, trying to say some thing, but lie did not say it. Ho turned and nntethered his own horse, vaulted up, and the two stepped quietly away over the gras. Suddouly Bird drew rein. Her dog was following. fcGo baok, Jack O, go back, dear Jack." she said, sorrowfully. The animal lay dowu on the ground, whining. The girl's lip quivered iu the darkness; the old dog was all she had to leave. The gate was open, they passed out. "Bido on the sods at the side of the road," whispered Childreth, "until we are out of hearing; and save your horso as much as you can. Easy, Don." The horse was large, and black, and beautiful, and as ho stepped out, tho drooping figure above his shoulders seomed a part of him. One of the sad dles was new, and creaked a little; it seemed to Bird that tho sound could be heard a long way. When tho road turned, she looked back at tho house, and Chiidroth looked back, too, bnt there were no lights to be soon, nor any noise that sounded bike pursuit, to be heard. They broke into a gentle lope. "If we can get to tho 'Strangers' be fore twelve o'clook, we are safe;" said Childreth. He was watching her through the dusk, anxiously. "Gently, Don." "mat time is it now?" "Nearly eleven." "Howfarisit?" "Nine miles. Now we may rido faster. Lift Don gently at the creeks. Keep him loping short and steady, or I fear you cannot hold him." They stretched off across the fields. Bird knew every stop of the way. When they came to the woods, she could have told you what every tree was. The road wound through almost in darkness. Honeysuckle was wet with dew, and they seemed to be in a eloud of sweets. "Faster'" said Childreth, suddenly. She heard it, too, that faint stroke of a horse's hoof. In her fear, she was mad enough to tonch Don with her whip. He plunged and kicked in a passion of anger, aud then stood still in stately defiance. "Don, for God's sake!" she pleaded. In that fearful moment sho hoard a fall, Sho turned her head. Childreth's sad dle was empty. She heard him moan upon the ground. In an instant she was on her feet down among the wet grasses. She lifted his head to her knee, aud kissed his face. He had fainted. She broke the branches of dripping fern, and shook the dew upon his face. She could not see when his eyes opened, but she could hear him grit his teeth in agony. My leg is broken; your horse kicked me," he said. "I am helpless, and you must go alone." "Where?" "To a log house on the banks of the Stranger. An old man live3 there who will take care of you. Send me help. O, my God!" in agony. uO, Chiidroth!" she sobbed. "Yon can find it, for the road is straight until you come to the river," he went on commanding himself. "Then show Don the rein ; he has been there a hundred times with me. O, my child, be qniok! this is dreadful!" She sprang up and vaulted into the saddle. They sped forth like an arrow. She never stirred the rein, for no horso could have flown faster. The contin uous rush of cold air stung her face. How set aud white it showed under the stars! On on on, at times she forgot where she was, but the horse, never. With his face set toward the river, he ran as if he had understood his master's words and knew his errand. It was his own brave heart that seemed to urge him. Never for a moment did he slacken or stumble. When the wretched girl he bore heard once agairtathat pur suing footfall, she still sat silent, know ing tbat her only helper was doing all that could be done. The great cotton wood trees flew by them Don's breath grew labored. Never once had he fal tered, and though growing sick in the saddle, Bird dared not detain him. Prom behind she heard a measured lope. As it drew nearer, it came close to cutting her off from every happiness in life. "Go on, dear Don," she murmured, "save your master and me." The pace of the noble horse was al ways steady, or she would have fallen from the saddle, soill and weak iu The footfall beyond were swift and hurried. Plainly could she per ceive that they were getting nearer. Her dark eyes were full of horror as she listened. Her low moans served her better than any whip. It was not her fancy that Don heard and under stood it all. If it had not been for the darkness, sue would have seen how watchfnl and bright his great eyes were growing. They thundered over the bridge. It was but a moment before the horse in the rear struck the bridge also. Look ing back. Bird could see her pursuer. She knew then what was almost in evitable. Gordon Churchill was mounted on a whito horse which was the pride of his stables. His pace and endurance were indeed wonderful. "God help me!" said Bird in despair. At the sound of her voice, Don broke his pace and turned. To hez horror, he rushed straight toward her foe. He rushed straight toward him. He raised himself, and towered above the great, gleaming, white horse, who threw himself upon hi hauohes. Don seized the rider. He grasped him by the shoulder, tore him from the saddle, and throwing himself back, literally shook the life out of him. The man dropped to the ground, senseless for ever. And Bird looked down at the black heap in the road, knowing that the man was dead. He was her half-brother. As a child he had struck her bare shoulders with hU riding-whip. He had knocked her down. And yet, as her guardian, he would have forced her to marry him. She loathed the very air he breathed, so she looked down at him and said, from her heart, "I am glad you are dead I" On then, two mile? more. She never knew what the road wa-:. Don went as he would snatching a mouth ful of water at tho river, as he turned along its banks, and carried his rider under the bows of treo-, through thick ets of purple fragrauco, which sho knew by its scent, up to the door of a low, log house. A light instantly ap peared, and old Jim Alloa came to her horse's head. "Is it you, honey, all alono?" he said. "It's Miss Donaldson. Mr. Childreth is hurt and is lying iu tho woods on the turnpike. You must go to him in stantly." Old Jim peered up at the face whoso owner told such news in such a calm voice He put up his arms to her. She dropped into them in a swoon. In the gray light of the morning she raised her head from the bed of hunter's blankets, where she lay, and saw from the window, old Allen leading two horses up to the door. Ono of them was Churchill's white horso, and he helped bear the litter on which Chil dreth lay all but dead. They brought him iu, ghastly and senseless. "Shake up a good bed, wife," whis pered the old man to his crone of a wifo. "He'll lie by for weeks." Bird heard. She stood silent, look ing down on the unconscious, death-like face. "Who is going for a doctor?" she asked. "I am," said Allen. "Whon?" "As soon as I can put a good horse over five miles of hilly road." "Bring also a clergyman." "Good gracious, child! what for?" "To marry us." "Tho young lady is crazy," exclaimed Mother Allen. "Why, yer foolish young thing, yer may be a widdor in an hour."' "Do as I tell you," with quiet deter mination to Allen. "I must bo his wife, and take care of him, whether ho lives ordio?. Wo were to have been mar ried horo to-day, any way. Now he needs me more than ever. Bring a clergyman I must have my way." At sunrise three horsemen rode up to tho door. Ono was the master of the honso, who introduced tho others. An other was a good physician. The third was a clergyman of tho nearest parish. All were rather bewildered by the calls made upon them, of course, but each was prevailed upon to do what was re quired of him. A wedding was nearly followed by a funeral, but not quite. A good constitution and untiring nurs ing brought Childreth up from death's door. Iu four weeks both left the country, asd never knew tho fate of tho body left on the turnpike. t.V JXltIAX'8 WIGWASt. "By the way," said a Washington man the other day, "Chief Bushyhead of the Cherokee Nation was here a while ago, and seeing him crossing the lobby ut Willard s I asked a friend who was with me, named Van Wyok, if he would like to be introduced. "Why. said Van Wyck, astonished, 'you don't mean to say that handsomely dressed and distinguished looking man over there is an Indian?" "'Decidedly, yoV I replied. 'Here he comes now. Mr. Bushyhead, let me introduce my friend, Mr. Van Wyck.' "'Happy to meet you, Mr. Van Wyck.' "'Charmed to have the privilege of knowing you, Mr. Bushyhead. And really I hope you'll excuse the remark yon are quite er civilized, aren't vou v "'I trust bo,' blandly responded the Chief, ex-Governor of Indian Territory, and one of tho very rich men of that en lightened and prosperous region. " 'And are all of the Indians in your tribe as civilized as yourself?' inquired Van Wyck. "'Oh, yes.' utJ)o you all live in tents and wig wams?" "'Certainly. Here is a picture of my own wigwam." "And the Chief drew from the inside pocket of his coat a photograph of a beautiful Queen Anne cottage, which could not have cost less that $35,000. "'That is my summer wigwam,' said Bushyhead, with grave affability, 'I have another for winter in town. "Van Wyok, who had disregarded the nudges I gave him while he was putting his questions, tumbled at last. I under stand that he has been kicking himself ever since." Washington Star.

A Ltttl IswtnsctJasi For PeepU Wke ThJsJc Ttaey Ksew It All. "It really makes me tired to see the av erage'teaa sharpen a pencil," -aid an old aevspaper roan in a stationery store. "He will cut his Sogers, cover them with dirt, and blacken them with lead-dast, and still will not sharpen the pencil. "There is but one way to sharpen a lend pencil, and tbat is to grasp it firmly with the point from yon and not toward you. Take your knife in the other hand and whittle away as thouRh jon bad lots of pen cils to waste. By following th se direc tions and taming the pencil over yoa will soon have it neatly and regnlaily sharp ened and vonr lingers will be uosoiled aid yoa will not need any court plaster to pat on th woauds, becsase vou cannot cat your fingers when whittling from them. -'This m-thod is te best wbtther the knife is dall or eharp. If the pencil is a soft one there is no sense in sharpening the lead. Simply cut away the wood, aud in writiog turn the pencil over, thus writ ing with the sides of the lead. "Another disgusting an1 senseless hubit Is placing the pencil in the month when writing. This is a relic of the dys when pencils were as hard as flint and before the manufacturers wera able to produce the smooth, soft pencils that are used to-day. This continual dampening of tbe lead will harden even a Rood graphite pencil and make it hard and gritty. .It is simply a habit anyway, and most habits an bad ones." Washing ton Star.
