We would le friends, and friends as true as e'er were man and man, I'd be a second David, and she Miss Jonathan ; We'd like each other, that was all, and quite enough to say, So we just shook hand npou it in a business sort of way. We shared oursorro.vs and -our joys, together hoped and feared, -With common purpose sought the goal which young ambit ion reared, We dreamed together of the days, the dream bright davs to come. We wcro strictly confidential, and called each other "chum;" And many n day we wandered together o'er the hiil s I seeking ants and butterflies, and she the ruined wills And rustic bridges and the like, which picture- . makers prize.

And thought no more of being one than we did of being three. "Well, good-bye, old fellow," I took her hand, for the time had come to go, Jly going meant our parting, when to meet we did not know. I bed lingered longandaid farewell with ft very heavy heart. Tor though wo were but friends, you know, 'tis hurd for friends to part ; "Well, good-bye, old fellow, don't forget your friends across tho sea, And touieday, when you've lots of time, just drop a lino tome." Tho wonts came lightly, Bayly, but a great sob jtint behind Hose up with a storv of quite a different kind. And then she raised her eyes to mine, great ligitid eves of blue, rull to the brim and running o'er, like violet cups of dew; One Ion, long look, and then 1 did what I never did Itefore. 1'eibaps the tear meant friendship, but I think the kiss meant more. A QUEER NAME. "You want to know how I got the name of 'Bullet-Nosed Bob,' do youV said Robert Clark, the famous Arizona prospector. "A ball from the six shooter of the best friend I ever had cut that little crease across the bridge of my nose, spoiled my beauty and gave me my name but my friend meant to kill. I was christened in Arizona, of course, where a man gets everything from the cholera infantum to a hemp necktie. During the mining excitement in Pinal County, I met Bill Briggs, a young cowboy, who, like myself, was looking for a fortune. He was a goad natured young fellow and dead game, so we immediately formed a copartner ship; that is, the same blankets covered both of us; we chewed off the same plug of tobacco, and always played 'in together in poker games. Bill had a nose like si big retl banana, wuile my nasal organ was built on the Roman plan, Arifh the blade of a hatchet for a pattern. He was known as 'Bed-Nose Bill,' while I received the sobriquet of 'Roman-Nosed Bob." One morning, after making a good winning in a joker game, we decided to purchase an outfit and go off on a pros pecting trip for a couple of weeks. We bonght our frying-pan, coffee-pot, and sack of flour, and laid in a goodNnpply of dried 'coon hams and whisky, all of which, with our tools, Ave packed on Bill's little burro, General Santa Anna. The appearance ofSantie, as Bill called him, certainly justified the popular be lief that he came to America with the Cortez expedition. He had, in a cen tury or more of service, worn all the hair off him, excepting on his legs and ears, where it hnug iu shaggy prof usion. He would eat anything, from a pair of overalls to splinters from a pack-saddle, and travel all day under the shade of one bunch of cactus. He would balk oftener and more .successfully than any burro iu the territories. Notwithstand ing these little idiosyncracies there wasn't enough money iu Arizona to tempt Bill to part with him. fcFor six days Ave plodded along over the burning sands and rocky bills, pros pecting here and there. When Sautie got tired he would lay down and Bill would sit and wait for him to get ready to move on, instead of building a fire nnder bim to move him, all the while commenting enthusiastically on the un impeachable evidence of San tie's intelli gence. When the burro would lay down and roll backward aud forward over his pack Bill knew that Santie was tired and wanted to stop for the day. and we al ways camped then and there, for no amount of reasoning would shake Bill's confidence in his interpretation of the burro language. One day, when about eighty miles from the nearest town, in rounding a sharp bluff on a narrow trail, the burro forgot to calculate upon the size of his pack, and when it struck tho projecting rocks over the trail donkey, puck and all rolled to the lottom "of 'the hill. We were compelled to make a circuit of about a mile to reach the point where he landed. We found him at the foot of the bluff, near a little spring, making a meal offa bunch of green willows. Bill's enthusiasm knew no bounds. He was wild over this lost display of intelli gence, for he declared that what he mis took for asinine stupidity was the result of careful and deliberate calculation on the part of Santie, who knew that this was the only decent camping place within a radius of one thousand miles, and took the most direct route to it "We established our camp by unpack ing what was left of our 11 our, for Santie in his descent had mixed the greater part of it with the whisky, and had painted the bluff up like a chalk bank. We had jnst enough left to make a little bread, and while Bill built a fire I set to work mixing up dongh. I got a nice little flat cake paddled out ready to bake, when I went to the spring to wash my hands, leaving Bill to drag down some dried limbs for our camp-fire. When we returned we found Santie licking the last fragment of dough oat of the frying-pan. Bill, as usual, was delighted to think that the jackass was smart enough to get his dinner while' we had to go hungry, but I grabbed a club and swore vengeance. When I started aftrfr t the burro Bill drew his six-shooter and cocked it, with the remark that if I touched Santie there would be trouble. As I thought he was just bluffing, I jnst kept on, and, finally getting the burro cornered, knocked" him down with a thump over the ears. "Bang! went Bill's revolver, and my Roman nose was transformed into this Celtic nltra retrousse. I fell, stunned by tho ball, but recovered almost im mediately. When I dropped I was pro tected from Bill's tire by a little ledge of rocks. I pulled my pistol and poked np my head to reconnoiter. At the same time Bill's head appeared above the pack-saddle, not more than twenty yards distant.- We fired at about the same time. Dirt flew in my face, while my shot splintered Bill's pack-saddle breastwork. Then we both lay low for a few minutes, neither daring io show his head. We both came np about the same time, and more splinters and dirt flew. "I began to feel a little leery, so lay low until I thought Bill was on the watch. Then I put my hat on a stick and slowly raised it over the ledge. Bang! bang! bang! came from Bill's re rolrsr, and ths hat fell over bafciad ass. I knew his pistol was empty then, so I jumped up and commenced pouring lead over his way, dropping and reload ing as soon as my pistol was empty. 1 j didn't hear anything from Bill for some tune, so 1 raised my hat again, bnt nc shots came. Then I peeped np, bnt could only see the pack-saddle. I didn't dare to get up to see how the fight was progressing, so I laying quiet to await developments. After severa lminntes I heard BUI call 'Bob! oh, Bob!" UI answered, and he inquired: " 'How are things going with yon?' " 'Just middling,' I answered. "How do you size up?' - 'Only tolerable.' "There were several more minutes of silence, -during which neither of ns showed onr heads. 'Say, Bob !' came from behind the pack-saddle. " 'What?' . " 'Let's declare the scrap a draw.' " 'All right!' I responded. " 'Let's hold our pistols up by the muzzles in our left hands, count three and throw them out between us.' " 'All right; here's mine,' I said, hold ing it up. Up went his too. " 'All ready! One! Two! Three!' Ave counted together, bnt both of us waited to see if the other was going to throw his pistol out, and neither was thrown. - 'Do you think I'm a liar. Bob?' " 'Can't you take my word, Bill?' ""Course I can. But Avhy didn't yon drop your gun? Do you tako me for a bnshwacker?' '"No; but why didn't you drop yours ?" " 'Well, here goes,' said he. 'This is straight business this time.' ' 'Ready ! One ! Tavo ! Three !' we counted, and both revolvers lauded on neutral territorv. "I got up, bnt Bill didn't. I walked over and asked him if he had met with an accident. " 'Left wing broke. Hello! I reached you!' he added as he saw the blood running down my face from my broken nose. 'G uess Ave'ro about even. Shake !' We shook hands and then set to Avork patching onrseh-es up. I Avhittled out some splints and bound his .'eft arm with strips of buckskin cut from my breeches. We then made a meal of dried coon hams warmed np, Avith a little coffee to wash it down, and started for home, Bill riding Santie. We had a hard time getting back, having little to eat and less to drink, and then Bill got feverish -for want of proper treat ment, and I had to support him for miles at a time. "Finally we reached a little spring only about two miles from home. Bill was nodding, half asleep, while I was Avaiking ahead leading Santie. Sud denly he stopped, and before I could divine his intentions lay down and rolled oA-er Bill a couple of times, breaking his arm again. When I got the burro np Bill had fainted, but soon recovered consciousness. He pulled his six-shooter and dropped Santie with a shot between the eyes. " 'He's too smart to live,' was all Bill said. "He is 'One-Armed Bill' now, and I'm 'Bullet-Nosed Bob.'" 'ot to lie Outdone. When the recent charity ball, for the benefit of a local hospital, was held in the Auditorium, Chicago, the managers of the affair, fearing that the caterer en gaged Avould not be able properly to provide for all the guests, asked Mr. Bemis, proprietor of the Hotel Riche lieu, not far from tho Auditorium, if he could not take care of the overflow. Mr. Bemis said he could, aud would on the condition that he be allowed to turn over io the hospital every cent he re ceived from charity ball patrons. There could be but one response to such au offer, and the dav after the ball Mr. Bemis gaA-e the $T70. managers his check for The rejnilar caterer whose name is not at hand heard that Mr. Bemis had contributed (though he was not advised as to the amount), and, not to be out done, hurried to the physician in charge of the beneficiary hospital and thus uu bosomed his desire : Doctor, I don't Avant to be behind these fellows in good Avill to your hospi tal, aud want to know if a contribution from me will be accepted ?"' -Certainly," you are very kind," said the pleased physico, ''and we very much appreciate your generous intent." "Thought yon Avonld," said the com placent caterer. "We've got three or four dozen good cold quail left OA-er from last night's provisions, and I'll be glad to send 'em right up for the pa tients to eat." What the doctor replied is not of record, but the caterer didn't send the quail. St. Paul Pioneer Press. Translating the Bill oTFrre. Erastus Gurley was in town yester day and, as usual, proceeded to make his presence felt. He arrived about 10 u. m., and, for a change, dropped into a cafe for dinner. The obsequious waiter had just flicked a bit of lint from Mr. Gnrlej''s coat collar, when Mr. Gurley opened out on him: "Ye3," he said, glancing at the menu, "yon may bring me some eggs blushing like Aurora." "Beg pardon, sjr," explained the waiter, "it's not on the bill," "Isn't, eh? What's this aeufs a l'aurore?" "O, yes," replied the young man, blushing and shifting somewhat un easily, "And I feel jnst like having some breeches in the royal fashion, with Ael vet sauce.' The waiter turned red, white and blue. "Got him again," chuckled Mr. Gur ley. "Well, I suppose you call it cu lottes a la royale, sauce veloute," 0, that! Yes, sir; yes, sir;"' and the waiter briskly rattled the cutlery around Mr. Gnrley's plate as though he would fain drown Mf, tyurley s voice. "Be sure you bring a stew' of good Christians," "Now von are joking," mildly expos tulated the waiter, with a sickly smile, "Not a bit of it, man. She here, 'on your bill. Compote de bons Chretiens." "O ah ngh," gulped the waiter. "And don't forget the fountains of love." "The ah I beg pardon."' "Right here on your menu puit3 d'amour." "Well, well," and the accompanying grin was ghastly. "And a mouthful of ladie3." "Eh?" "Bonche do dames quick, help a glass of water dash it in his face' But Mr. Gurley was too late. The waiter was in a dead swoom, almost a cataleptic iir, from which he never re covered until along in the aiternoon.

A Comnercial's Experience. Many aie the stories still told by commercial travelers abo'.it George Moore the celebrated Euglish drum mer's determination to get orders, lie would- not be denied, says Samuel Smiles. If refused at 'first, he re-sorted to all sorts of expedients until he suc ceeded. On one occasion he sold the clolhes off his back to get an order. A tena cious draper in a Lancashire town re fused to deal Avith him. The draper was quite satisfied with the firm that supplied him, aud he would make no change. This became known amongst the commercial travelers at the hotel, and one of them made a bet of Ha'c pounds Avith George Moore that he would not obtain an order. George set out again. The draper saw .him entering the shop, and cried out, "All full! all full, Mr. Moore! I told you so before!" "Never mind," said George, "you won't object to a crack."' "Oh, no!' said the draper. They cracked about many things, and then Geerge Moore, calling the drap er's attention to a new coat which he wore, asked, "What he thought of it?" "It's a capital coat," said the draper. "Yes, first-rate; made in tho best style by a first-rate London tailor." The draper looked at it again, and again admired it. "Why," said George, "yon are ex actly my size: it's quite new, I'll sell it to vou." "'What's the price?" "Twentv-fiA-e shillings." "What? that's very cheap." "Yes, it's a great bargain." "Then I'll bny it," said tho draper. George Aveut back to his hotel, donned another suit, and sent the "great bargain" to tho draper. George calling again, the draper offered to pay him. "No, no," said George, 'Til book it; you've opened an account." Mr. Moore had sold the coat at a loss, but he Avas recouped by the fiA'c-poiind bet which he won, anil he obtained an order beside. The draper afterwards became one of his lest customers. On another occasion a draper at Newcastle-upon-Tyne was called upon many times without any result. He was always "full." In fact, he had no intention of opening an account with the new firm. Mr. Moore got to know that he was fond of a particular kind of snuff rappee, with a touch of beg gar's brown in it. He provided himself with a box in London, and had.it filled Avith snuff. When at Newcastle he called upon the draper, but was met as usual with the remark "Quite full; quite full, sir." "Well," said Mr. Moore, "I scarcely expected an order, bnt I called upon you for a reference." "Oh, by all means." In the course of conversation George pulled out his snuff-box, took a pinch, and returned it to his pocket. After a short interval he took it out again, took another pinch and said, "I suppose you are not guilty of this bad habit!" Sometimes, said the draper. George handed him the box, took a pinch with zest, and ihrouffh the snuff, "Well, that's He said, very fine!" George had him hoav. He said, "Let me present yon Avith the box ; I have plentA more." The draper accepted the box. No order Avas asked; bnt the next time George called upon him he got his first order, aud the draper long con tinued to be one of his customers. Amazed. The natives of tropical countries are seldom so much astonished as they are when first introduced to snow and ice. The congealing of Avater is a phenome non they aro slow to comprehend. A fcsAV months ago Sir William McGregor enticed several New Guinea natives to the hitherto unsealed summit of Mount OAven Stanley, the loftiest peak in British Australasia. On its barren summit, nearly a thou sand feet above the zone of vegetation, big icicles Avere found, and the natives, when they touched them, declared that their fingers had been burned. A year ago, when Mr. Elders as cended Mount Kilimanjaro, in Africa, his native porters, who had lived all their li-es near the base of the great mountain, pulled off the boots with which they had been pnmded, aud plunged merily into the snow in their bare feet. They lost no tinio in plung ing out again, and lay writhing on the ground, insisting that their feet had been severeby burned. Some Central African natives who had been introduced into Germany mis took the first snow-storm they saw for a flight of white butterflies, and Lieut. Yon Francois says the mistake Avas a very natural one. One day when he was ascending a tributary of the Congo, he saw for the first time the air filled with a great swarm of white butterflies, and the spectacle closely resembled a gentle fall of snow. That Made a Difference. ''Papa, George Mr. Jonghnes asked me to be his wife last night, and and I consented." "My child, I have always been a kind, indulgent father to you, have I not?" "Yes, papa."

How She Knew it Was the Shortest Day A new example of the readiness of some minds to apply illustrations to phenomena came recently under tho writer's notice. An Irish servant girl, newly admitted to service in a lady's house, was told by her mistress that the current day was the shortest of the year. Bridget replied : "Is it indade, mum?

The actors ware two very wall known and wealthy society ladies. It was at s morning terries and the charch was crowded. During the early part of the services the psalter aad re sponses the? had maintained aaattitade of rapt devotion, with profcaadly solemn faces and bowed heads. The TeDeasa was arranged to a long and anainally slab orate mnsical accompaniment, and these ladies bad remained seated. The lines, "Let ns never be confounded,'' were sung with a floarish and au operatic staccato which came to a sudden and pronounced close. The silence was heightened by the loud burst of harmony which had preceded; there was no gradual dying away, but a quick, petrifying stop. And in the solemn hash came the sound of a Bmall, shrill, bnt painfully clear voice, and the words: "Bnt, my dear, we fry ours in butter." Dr. Dix raised bis hand in a quick ges ture of horror; an accolyte laughed aloud, the faces of the congregtaton variously ex pressed amusement, chagrin and aBgsr, and amidst the commotion which ensued the very charming Mrs. was borne, faint and sick, from the church.

Try an alcoholic ex citant to stimulate appetite, deaden the nerves' at bed-time with a narcotic? Neither of these. Try Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. It will, be lieve us, be more than a trial. You will continue to use this justly renowned nerve invigorant and stomachic. It ia in the exigency supposed just what is wanted. It is a healthful stimulus to appetite and digestion, does not excite, but quiets the brain and nerves, is an excellent diu retic and a speedy reformer of a disordered con dition of the liver and bowels. It counteracts a tendency to rheumatism, nullifies the prostrat ing effects of overwork, mitigates the innnuitiss ot age, and hastens convalescence. Parsons ex posed to roush weather should use it as a pre-, ventive, as should also tixed student and busi ness men. Trimmings far Evening Dresses. Flowers are fading for trimmings for evening dresses, says a London paper, and the fashion is setting in toward birds and insects. Flights of. jet swallows are seen fleeing across the skirt of an evening dress. Perhaps the bodice will be ornamented with a swallow, too. Huge butterflies, made of 'et, gold tinsel, or of pearls and iridescent beads, are made large enough to come right across the front of the bodice of an evening dress. The wings are out spread, and the butterflies are said to be modeled from natural specimens. Smaller butterflies hover about the shoulders and on the skirt. A Weman in the Case. There always is. She is the power be hind the throne. A woman's influence over the man who loves her is often absolute. To wield so great a power to guide, strengthen, and help her husband, a wom an's mind should be clear and healthy. It cannot be if she is suffering from any func tional derangement. How many a home is made unhappy because she who should be its life und light is a wretched, depressed, morbid invalid! Wives, mothers, and daughters, why suffer from "female com plaints" which are sapping your lives away, when Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will renew your health and gladden those about you?

An English court has just decided that a 'wife married in Japan after the fashion of that country is a legal wife in England, on the ground that "Japan has long been recognized as a civilized country." A pre vious decision in a case where the wife was a Hottentot and was married after the Hottentot fashion had upset the union on the ground that the Hottentots were heath ens and polygamists, and did not know what marriage, in the civilized sense, 'meant. Composer Moroni, director of the opera at Smyrna, whose name felicitously rhymes with harmony, having recovered from an attack of the grip, has expressed bis gratitude to Hygeia in a symphony, the melody clearly indicating the course of the malady, from the sneeze to the physi cian's bill, says the Medical Record. We trust that the' audience is not made to ex perience "the tired feeling" during its per formance, and that it all ends with a sym bolic jingle ot coin in the doctor's wallet.
