A meeting of the representative physi-
chins of Omaha was hcld'nt Dr. Grady's
olliue on SaUtnlay night for the purpose
of organizing tin Omalm Medical society.
Nine physicians were present and signed
the constitution , nflcr which an adjourn
ment was taken to Wednesday , Juno 10 ,
when n meeting will bo held at St.
George's liall for the election of officers
and the initiation of additional members.
The Omaha Medical society is designed
to succeed tlio Douglas County Medical
society , which died u few weeks ago for
lack of medical attendance. The consti
tution of the old society killed it. It re
quired a two thirds vote of all of the
members to carry an amendment to the
constitution , nnd as there was never a
mooting which was attended by two-
thirds of tlio members the much needed
amendment were never adopted. Under
its constitution the Douglas County Medi
cal society could not suspend its mem
bers for non-payment of dues , and as this
could not be changed except by an at-
tenditneo wlneli could not bo secured by
fair means or foul , tlio society was
swamped for want of funds , and had no
remedy except dissolution. There wns
nn objection , also , to the name of the so
ciety. Of the 105 regular practicing phys
icians of Douglas county , 101 have their
residence in Omaha , and they naturally
desire that their society should have a
representative name. Tlio noNv society
proposes to remedy these evils anil errors
utul ndopl a constitution that will make
the association un active nud working
one. The movers of the scheme are ear
nest in their endeavor to establish a live
society , but are not over oiitlmsiasiic of
success , owing to a lukewarmnessfortho
movement shown by the leading lucul
physicians.
"I don't expect that wo will ho
able to start witli more than
a do/.en members , " said a physician
yesterday. "Tlio fact is , as unfortunate
as it may be , the physicians of Omaha
are not progressive. They are not , as a
rule , growing thinking men They won't
join a medical society. They never read
a report of a oa.so , they lake no journals
and do absolutely nothinir to keep
abreast with tlio medical science that is
making such rapid advancement year by
. year. The solo object of a medical society -
' cioty is tlio advancement of tlio stand
ard of its members but the majority
of Omaha's physicians are fossils , care
only for themselves and their practice.
Our only hope is to persevere in our efforts -
forts to build up a good society and wait
until new and more progressive physi
cians move to Omaha. "

The Union Pacific's IJDSO Yesterday's
Guuio to Their Antagonists
Saturday's Score.
The Union Pacifies proved "pio" ( peach
or otherwise ) , for their visitors yesterday
afternoon. Tlio homo team played a good
game all the way through , but were weak
in the pitching end of their battery. Salis
bury started in to occupy the box , but
after throwing three balls stepped aside ,
saying that his arm had given out. Rock
well , who has pitched but very little in
the last two years , wns put in instead.
. .For tlio lirst four innings ho did romark-
j'ttblj * won , the St. Louis nine failing to
make a single run oil' his delivery. In
the lifth ami sixth , however , ho lot down ,
and the "peach pics" scored seven tal
lies. ' " * ' 10 " * i two iiuihi a tiioy added
two monv num t < . this. Tlio game closed
with a result of nine to
fn ; | , favor of the visitors.
Tlio playing on both sides was good.
Brant played a line game in center field ,
distinguishing himself by making several
dinienlt catches. The new men , McClos-
key , Molonghny and Droxlor established
vflieir reputation as good ball players by
clever work in their respective positions.
The latter made two out of the three base
hits credited to tlio homo team.
The Union Pacifies loolc very neat in
their now blue uniforms , trimmed with
red. The contrast with their appearance
in this respect on other occasions is very
Smirked.

that cither by companies , with your posts ,

your dead comrade be neglected. On
that day let the llowors of friendship ,
moistened by tlio tears of affection , be
laid upon tlio silent mound of the dead
hero , and the miniature emblem ot
union and liberty , for which ho died ,
flutter in tlio breeze above him. Don't
forget that the time is rapidly approach
ing when there will remain no "veteran"
to perform this 'fraternal service. Each
Memorial day muster shows our rank
and lilo greatly reduced in number by
the "reaper death. " and each recurring
season should make this observance a
holier duty devolving upon those who by
God's mercy are spared.

AII nmiiu turd.
inspectors Spangler and
Brown havufcrclurncil from Cheyenne ,
where they had been before the grand
jury with testimony in Hie ease of Bird ,
the young forger. Mr. Brown returned
later than Mr. Spanglur , remaining to
give testimony in the trial , which , however -
over , had been temporarily set aside on
account of thu adjournment of court. Mr.
Spangler returned to attend to the busi
ness which had accumulated during thu
absence of both Mr. Brown' and himself ,
and which could not -be attended to by
thu clerk , Mr. Anderson , whose authority
is restricted to more clerical work.
Thu case of Bird develops an interest-
jmr feature , which may remiiro tlio pun-
islmionl of a man named Newman. Bird
secured a money ordur for § 00 , which lie
claims to have found in the street , but
which it is believed was stolen from n
hotel. It was sent by a Mrs. Elliott in
Wisconsin to her son at Cheyenne. Bird
forged the name of Elliott to the order
and was identified as Elliott by a New
man , who had always known him as
Bird , and who now stands m danger ot
indictment as a party to the fraud.
From Chicago to Omaha.
Robert Fowler , of Fowler Brothers , of

a few weeks ago ho was greatly pleased
with the city and experienced very bene
ficial results from the pure Nebraska air.
Since then ho has determined to make
his homo in Omaha just as boon as ho
can make the necessary business ar
rangements. Anderson Fowler , who at
present , is superintending the business in
Kansas City , will , if the present plans are
carried out , remove to Chicago and take
charge of the business there. Thu loca
tion of Mr. Fowler's residence is unde
termined , and will not bo decided upon
until all the otl'cr details of the business
are arranged. Mr. towler is very enthu
siastic over Omaha's prospects and

The Causes Which lied to the Chance
of Commissioners.
Land Commissioner Cummings , who
has been appointed by the board of
directors of the Union Pacific to succeed
Lravltt Burnliam , is expected to arrive
hero to-day or to-morrow. He will enter
at once upon ids duties in place of Mr.
Btirnham , who retires , as previously an
nounced , In Juno.
A gentleman well posted in railroad
affairs , though not connected in any way
with the land department of the Union
1'aciflc , in conversation witli a reporter
for tlio BBE , imparted some interesting
information concerning the causes which
led to the change in the executive head
of this department.
"Tho fact is , " he said , "Mr. Bnrnham
has been under a cloud of suspicion for a
year or more past that is , so far as thu
people ! n Boston were concerned. The
liistory of the whole allair would require
a long time in telling , but In brief it is
this :
"Some years ago when 0.1 < . Davis was
land commissioner , sains were going
slow , quite unsatisfactory to the Union
Paellic management. S. H. H. Clarke ,
who was then general manager , was in
structed to look after tills branch of the
company's income , and appoint some
man who would push the sales rapidly.
Ho accordingly appointed Lcavitt Uurn-
ham , a warm personal friend of his. Mr.
Burnliam stepped into olhee with In
structions to dispose of the lands as rap
idly as he could , securing , of course , as
good figures as possible. He did so , and
threw largo sums of mouoy into the
company's coll'ors from the sale of lands
which had hitherto remained a source of
anything but revenue. Up to
the time that General Manager Clarke
stopped out everything went smoothly.
Then witlk the change of management
the directors began to make things un
pleasant for him , in common with other
Clarke men , and the trouble was finally
terminated by the mutual agreement to
disagree. The fact is. as I have said
before , Mr. Burnliam has been under a
cloud for a year or more past , and when
special examiners who were sent ont to
look through the all'aira of the oflico ,
made their report , Ames and some of the
other stockholders professed to bo very
much displeased with tlio condition of
thiiiKS. "
" are some of the counts In the
"tndlotiunnt" unniust. Mr. BurnhamY"
"Well there were several. Ono ot thmn
was a lame sale ol land which Mr. Burn-
ham made to a-syndicate of capitalists.
The tract was soinc 300.000 or 800,000 acres
in extent , 1 think , and was disposed of at
what seemed to Fred L. Ames a ridicu
lously low tiguro. He grumbled a great
deal at lirst about disposing of the laud ,
but as the contract had received the sig
nature of Mr. Burnliam , and had been
duly audited , Ames was compelled to
sign it , much against his will. Then
again , another specific point of complaint
against Mr. Burnham was his system of
allowing commissions to agents. The
company found that agents who had
themselves bought the lands which they
had been delegated to sell , were allowed
their regular commissions. Mr. Burn-
ham held that so long us the lands in any
district were sold , it made no diflercnco
to whom , tlio agent in control of that
district should receive tlio commissions
thereon. There wore other points of djs-
agreement between the land commis
sioner and the directors , and as a consequence
quence , it was found mutually satisfac
tory for the change to bo made. Mr.
Burnham's honesty or his perfect sin
cerity in all matters of business , it must
bo understood , were never at any time
brought into question. "
THIS TUTIiK TRIBE ,
The Victim of the Tutlle Boys' As
sault Slightly Improved Coiii-
plnluts A-cnlnst the
Family.
Miclic , the German who wns made the
victim of a vicious assault by the Tuttle
boys last week near Sheoly's packing
house , is somewhat improved under Dr.
Hoflhiau's treatment , although his
chances for. recovery are still slight. The
Tuttles [ are still at liberty , but a
warrant has been issued and they will.be
placed under arrest at once in case of
any serious turn in Michc's condition.
1'etor TuttlCj by the way , is wanted in
Kansas City just now as a witness in a
shootin'g affray which took place in that
city some time ago and in which ho was
a participant. He will probably bo ar ?
rested and held as a witness in the case
in question. , (
Ihe residents in Tuttlp's neighborhood
have no end of complaints ot the law
lessness of this notorious family.
They allege that one week ago last
Sunday , L'otor drew : i revolver on one of
tint iiiiiMiiliuitsof Sorrciihon's saloon oii
Wnhnil street out.Niilo . tlm oib' TmYfta.
The proprietor seized a mallet , and if
Tuttle had not disappeared , ho would
have been brained. About tin ; same time
another of the brothers , Edward ti'om-
mitted a violent assault upon Peter Hem
driuktion , a saloon keeper on. Fifteenth
street opposite the Paxtou block , and was
driven to his homo by an angry crowe ]
and narrowly escaped the slugging for
which lie had long been lookinsr. - !
These and other outrages have given
the neighborhood a bad name nnd made
it unpleasant , even dangerous for people
to bo found away from homo. ' ' '
The residents spoken to by tho. BK.K ro ;
porter , gave unmistakable expression to
thudcrmination to hang the Tuttle trioi
if they again be found as disturbers of
the peace. They wens without cjty po
lice protection there , and if the county
could not protect them , they would' be
compelled to take tlio law in their own
hands , They had had enough of the trio
and would stand it no longer. Ed was a
resident in the neighborhood but , they
said , tlioy could got along without him.
In fact , they could got along without'aU
ot the crowd , Tiioy felt the authorities
should put the whole gang into jail to
await tlio result of Miohe's Injuries.

A KniKht of the Throttle Tells the
Tali ) of thu 'America. "
Attached to an'cast bound truin that
pulled out from the transfer depot on the
Chicago , Bok ; Island & Pacific the other
morning , was the once renowned engine
"America now rolling under the unat
tractive number 10 ! ) on her way to the
shops for repairs. "There's a history to
that engine , " said a dust-begrimed en
gineer who stood uoar by watching with
glistening eye as "America" was dragged
slowly away from the depot. "It was
early in 1801) ) when she took the gold
medal at the Paris exposition for being
tlio best constructed engine in the world.
There were more tliun one hundred on
exhibition , but the 'America * outshone
them all. President Tracy purchased
her nnd brought her to America with
out making any announcement of
the fact. 1 toll you it created a sensa
tion in railway circles when it was
known that she was to pull a passenger
train on the Chicago division ot the Chi
cago. Bock Island & Pacific. She made
her lirst trip out on a balmy April day in
' 09. The fact had been duly advertised ,
and at every station along the road were
gathered hundreds of people , till eager to
get a peep at 'America,1 at that time tlio
most renowned locomotive in thp worjd.
She was worth seeing , too. My old "eyes
water yet when I remember how she
looked. I was firing with Joe Hill on a
freight , and mot her on a side track down
east of Davenport. She was a glittering
splendor on wheels stack , jacket , cylin
der , chests , bell , Baud-box , dome and.
whistle all of shining , nlckcl nnd brass
ornamentations. Thtncab was walnut
nnd mahogany , i the tender crim
son nnd goh * Jm ornamenta
tion , a Hying ; eagle bearing in
its beak a streamer which showed the
motto of the republic , ( > o pluribtisimnm. "
The Hock Island was completed to
Council Bluffs Majr , 1C9 , and on May 14
America drew tho. lirst train tlio entire
length of the completed line , the officers
nml directors of the , company , with a
number of guests cccnpying the special
cars. A great change has come over the
America since Unit time. Of all of her
splendor of seventeen years ago , the
bell nnd its frame , jhe $ and box nnd the
dome alone remain. The stack Is black ,
the Jacket is of Bussia iron , nnd the cab
is black , while the tender shows not a
vestige of its original decoration. But
she has served her purpose. May wo all
do as well. "
A Now Sunday School.
The English Lutheran church yesterday
opened a Sunday school in llascall's
Cosmopolitan hall on South Thirteenth

Two Excellent Companies Interpret
Kvecllent Plays.
For the first time in the city , the now
melo-drama "Gcnvounono llcrxcn" was
presented last night , nt the Sludt theatre
summer garden. Thy audience was largo
nnd demonstrative. The piece is calcu
lated to satisfy almost every tasto. It is
strongly constructed , depleting the
humorous as well as scdato pha o. of
German rural life. It was excellently
mounted and the costumes and properties
were at once appropriate and displayed
the comini'mlablo attention which has
thus far characterized the management
Mr. Beaureis gave an excellent rendition
of an aged father. Elise Beaureis'
Nanna was a sweetly , yet strongly
drawn characterization. Mr. and Mrs.
Pulscontributed to the merriment of the
audience and evoked frequent applause.
Mr. Korsky did line work as the hero of
the piece. Tlio other members of the
company aQ'ordcd line support.
THK 11OVU.
The siimmor season at the Boyd closed
last night , the performance being that of
"Die Nahuriu. " The story is the simple
one of a father and mother objecting to
the marriage of their son , and their
eventual acceptance of his UridCj whom
the young fellow has introduced into the
household in tiie guise of a menial , by
means of an intelligence agency. A
number of happy mistake ? are also occa
sioned by tlio introduction in the same
manner of thn daughter of the old man ,
who eventually marries the hitter's secre
tary.
The play gave perhaps more satisfac
tion than any other of the season. It was
acted in nn artistic manner. It moved
with rapidity and kept the amlieuee in
terested throughout. It contained nine
solo and concerted vocal pieces , thu li'ai'-
ing ones of which were rendered by Mrs.
Holl'stcttcr. This lady was in excellent
voice and spirits , hvcrything she did
was applauded. Messrs. Hurtzhcim , Va-
rcna , Selig and Molelun and Miss Mojc.in
rendered capable support.
Mr. Varena and Miss Hofs'.cttcr have
received a liberal offer from the manager
of the Chicago Opera house to produce
the same piece in English under the title
of "Engaged. " Both of the.se excellent
actors with Mr. Selig will spend the sum
mer at one of the Milwaukee theaters.
Mr. llarlzhuim will go to Davenport.
Miss Lena Selnnitx will spend the sum
mer at Ellicott lake in Wisconsin. Miss
Mojean will remain in town until after
the Juno festival. Mr. Molehill will
spend tlio mtmmer In Minnesota , where
ho will rest after live years of hard the
atrical work. Ho has been one of tlio
most , studious and reliable German act
ors Omaha has known. Ho has always
striven to plcnse , and his admirers are
numerous among his people. Should ho
return ho will find many warm welcomes.
It is quite possible that a German theat
rical company will occupy the Boyd dur
ing next winter. Tlio certainty , however ,
will not be decided before the end of the
week.
UNION PACIFIC NEPOTISM.
How PrcHldcnt Adams' Order is Dis
regarded at the Freight Depot.
Theio was a great deal of rejoicing
among the Union Pacific employes when ,
some time ago , President Adams , of the
road , announced that , with refercnco to
the retention and preferment of em
ployes in the service , other things being
equal , ability and seniority would bo
recognized.
A number of the clerks and laborers at
the freight depot , however , have come to
look upon the president's instructions as
a dead letter. They claim that
'they have not boon respected ,
at least , sn far as they are concerned ,
and that they have been practically cut
off from promotion , for which they have
long boon working.
Not long since , several resignations
took place , and it was thought that some
of the older clerks , who have been in the
employ of the road for different periods ,
ranging as far back as six and
seven years , would be appointed
to fill them. These clerks have
always given satisfaction , and proof
of this is found , it is claimed , in the
length of time they have been employed
by the company. Despite this fact , some
of the more recent of the accessions to
the force , young men , who have friends
in' the exalted o'tlicers , have been raised
over older and at least equally compe
tent clerks , to fill tlio vacancies. In some
instances this promotion has brought
with it increase ot wages from $25 to ! 40
per month.
In the freight depot , the same system
obtains. There are men at the trucks
who have been there for several years
and who have mastered all the details of
the business. They arc competent to
perform.Other duties , and yet they have
been compelled to see young folks who
Llmvo tl v rt.lviuitn fs > f ollioiul ruoom.
memlation fall into tlio positions of
billers , callers and checkers , which are
preferred ones and in the direct
order of other promotions. The reason
assigned for this is that tluwo positions
must be maintained for friends of the
ollicerg , .The consequence is a great dis
satisfaction among the older employes
and u looking out on their part for other
.employment.
TIIK INVALIDS' JIKTUKAT.
Dou.voi1 Want * ) to Monopolize the Post-
ollioo Inspector * .
There are now two postoflico inspec
tors ut- this , point. They are Me.ssi .
Spanplor aiid Brown. The business ot
their position , keeps them out of town the
greater part of the timo. During their
absence , the oflico is in charge of the
clerk , Mr.Anderson. . Ilis duties , however -
over , are definedanil restrict him merely
to keeping the records and attending to
correspondence. Ho is unable , therefore ,
to attend to a large part of the business
which requires the attention and direq-
tion of tlio chief inspector. As
a consequence , the service is
subjected to frequent annoying delays -
lays which cannot bo avoided.
To obviate this disadvantage , there is a
scheme on foot to consolidate this ollleo
with that at Denver , thus requiring a
force of several clerks and a number of
inspectors , one of whom shall always re
main in the oflico to determine what no
tion may bo required m any emergency.
Thn scheme has originated , it is under
stood , with the Denver people , who are
now endeavoring to have the ollico in
this city abolished and the consolidated
headquarters for both districts to be es
tablished at the former place , In fur
therance of the scheme , the Denver poo-
pie say the change would render the
service more effective ami enable it to bo
carried out with less expense than at
present. The same thing , however ,
would be true if the consolidated ofliccs
were to bo located here. This place is
more favorably situated than Denver for
the work of inspectors , and besides is the
older ollico. Nevertheless , unless Nebraskans -
braskans display some interest in the
matter , it is claimed that the Donvcrites
11111 % " be able to effect the change for
which they are working.

Karllcst IWnlhods of Measuring Time ,
From "Primitive Cloaks , " by Frcdurio
G , Mather , in Popular Science Monthly
for Juno : The story is that King Alfred
had no better way to toll thu time than
by burning twelve caudles , each of which
lasted two hours ; mid , when all the
twelve wore gone , another day had
passed. Long before the time of Alfred ,
and long before the time of Christ , thu
shadow of the sun told thu hour of the
day. by means of a sun-dial , The old
Chaldeans so placed u hollow hemisphere ,
with a bead in the center , that thu shadow
of the bead on the inner surface told the
jiour of the day. Other kinds of dials
were afterward made with a tablet of
wood or straight piece of metal. On the
tablets wore marked the different hours.
\ \ lion the shadow came to the mark IX. , it
was 0 o'clock in thu morning. Thu dial
was sometimes placed near the ground ,
or in towers or in buildings. 1 on see ,
inlhe picture , two eun dials that arc oa
" ' ' 4
the Gray and Black Nunnery In Ottawa ,
tlio capital of Canada. The old clock on
the eastern end of Vancuil hall In Boston ,
was formerly a dial of this kind , ami on
some of the old church towers in Eng
land you may see thorn to-dav. Aside
from tlio kinds mentioned , the dials now
in existence are Intended morn for orna
ment than for use. In the days when
dials were used , each 0110 contained a
motto of some kind , like tlioso ; ' "Time
MM like the shadow , " or " 1 tell no hours
out tlioso that are happy. "
But the dial could be used only in the
daytime ; and , oven then , it was worth
less when the sun was covered with
clouds. In order to measure the hours
of the night as won as the hours of the i
day , the ureoks and Romans used the i
clepsydra , which moans. "Tho water
steals away. " A large jar was filled
with water , and a hole was made in the
bottom through which the water could
run. Thu gluis , in those days , was not
transparent. No one could see from tlm
outside how much water had escaped.
So there worn made , on the inside , cer
tain marks that told the hours as the
water ran oiitot ; else a stick witli notches
In the edge was dipped into the water ,
nnd the depth of what was left showed
tlio hour. Sometimes the water dropped
into another jar in which a block of
wood was floating , thu block rising as
the hours wont on. Once In a while ,
ionic very rich man had a clepsydra that
sounded a musical note at every hour.
Whlto Merchants on tlio Upper Con no ,
A Dutch trading house which has had
much experience on tlio lower Congo
dispatched a steamer lust December laden
with merchandise for the upper river. It
intended to divide its cargo atNokki. the
head of navigation on the lower river ,
into blxly-pound packages , and transport
the goods by means of native porters to
Stanley Pool , where it proposed to estab
lish a trading station. There was some
doubt that the company would be able to
collect enough porters to make a rapid
journey , but If it secured the required
help its station at Stanley pool has before
this time been founded ,
This is the lirst attempt made by while
traders tu establish themselves upon tlio
upper Congo , and is the beginning of the
commercial development of King Leo
pold's enterprise. Dr. Leu/ , the Austrian
explorer , writing from Stanley Pool ,
says that other commercial houses will
bo sure to follow soon. It scums very
doubtful , however , that there will bo
much commercial activity -on the upper
Congo before tlio proposed railroad ,
sooner or later connects the lower with
the upper river river.
At Slanlev Pool there arc some rich
native ivory dealers , who have long
bought ivory and other commodities
from tlio up-river tribes android them to
other dealers below the Pool , who took
them to the coast. Dr. Leu/ says that
they are greatly worried over the news
that white traders are about to invade
their field. They fully reali/.e that their
occupation as ivory brokers will bo gone.
Dr. Leu/ says that Ngalyoma , the richest
of these tralllckcrs , to whom Stanley de
votes many pages of his latest book , is
particularly gloomy over the approach-
IUK advent of white traders.
There was a lime when Ngalyenm
might perhaps have defeated btanloj-Vi
whole enterprise. He long gave the ex
plorer great trouble , but his cupidity got
the better of his foreboding , and by brib
ing him witli some thousands of dollars'
worth of European wares the whites
linallygot a foothold at Stanley Pool and
established the station of Leopohlville.
Stanley says the supcmtitious savage ,
who liad risen out of slavery to a posi
tion of considerable influence , had $15,000
worth of marketable goods in his store
house.
Ho and his fellow traders arc powerless
now to seriously interfere with white
merchants. Dr. Lena and other recent
writers say that the authorities of the
Congo state have acquired considerable
influence over the natives , and are well
able to suppress insurrections , which , on
account of the lack of unity among the
river tribes , could not in any event reach
large proportions.
"Klver Up , StraiiRor , TIM the Gals
Ulllll'OHH. "
Louisville Courier-Journal : There is a
a spot in the southwestern , part of
Arkansas known as the "Fiery Fork of
Honey Bun" a delicious locality , no
doubt as the run of honey is , of course ,
accompanied by a corresponding flow of
"milk , " a mixture of milk and honey , or
at any rate , honey and "peach" is ( ho
evidence of sublunary contentment , every
place where they have preaching.
"Honey Bun" is further dirist'mniy.ed by
the presence of an extremely hospitable
familj' , whoso mansion , comprising one
apartment neither more nor loss is
noted for being never shut against the
traveler , and so our friend found it dur
ing the chill morning air , at tlio expense
of a rheumatism in Ills shoulder its
numerous unaffected cracks and spaces
clearly showing that dropping the latch
was a useless formality. The venerable
host and hostess , in their one apartment ,
usually enjoy the society of two sons
two daughters , sundry dogs and as many
lodgers as may deem it prudent to .risk
the somewhat equivocal allotment of
.ilcopiiur partners ,
On the night in question , our friend ,
after a hearty .supper of ham and egu-.s ,
and a canvass of the Fiery Forkers tlio
old lady having pointed out his bed felt
very wj'ary , and onjv looked for an op
portunity to "turn in , " though the mos
quitoes wore trumpeting all sorts ol
wrath , and no not appeared to bar them.
The dogs flung themselves 'along the
floor , or again rose , restlessly , ami
sought the doorstop ; the old man stripped
unconsciously and nought his share of tlio
one .collapsod-lonking pillow , and the
sons cavalierly followed his example ,
leaving the old woman , gals and stranger
to settle and question of delicacy that
might arise.
The candidate yawnnd , looked at his
bed , went to tlio door , looked ut the
daughter * ; finally , in downright reckless
ness , he smiled hliiiMilf iipoii"thodownuy"
and pulled oll'hU coat. Well , he pulled
off his coat , and then ho j-awned , ami
then ho whittled , mid then lie called the
thu old Judy's attention to thn fact thai
it would never do to sleep In his muddy
trousers , anil then he undid his vest , ami
then he whistled again , and then sud
denly an idea of her fodgor'rt possible om-
banussmeiil .seemed to flash upon Ihuoldi
woman , and she cried :
' ( ials , jest turn your hacks around 1111
thn stranger gits in bed , "
The backs wore turned and the
stranger did gel in bed in 'Mess than no
time,1' when the hostess again spoke :
"Beckon , stranger , HS you ain't used
to us , you'd bettor livur ; up till the galij
undress , hadn't ' yon1" !
By this lime our friend's sleepy fit was
over , and though ho did "kiver up" us
desired , somehow or other the old
counterpane was equally kind in hiding
liis blushes and favoring his sly glances.
The nymphs soon slowed away , for there
were neither bustles to unhitch nor
corsets to unlace , when their mamma ,
evidently very anxious not lo smother
her uucit , considerably relieved him.
"i on can iinkiyor now , ntranger , I'm
married folks , and you ain't afraid of mo ,
1 reckon1 !
The stranger happened to bo "married
folks" hnu.iulf ; Im unkivurud and turned
his back ] with true connubial Indiffer
ence , as far ax the ancient lady was con
cerned ; ( nil with regard to the "gals , " ho
declared thai his half-raised curiosity in
spired tlie most tormenting dreams of
mermaids that ever he experienced.
