In a bird nnd animal store on Washington avenue that turned out ono of the funnl'tst ' Impromptu entertainments Imaginable , relates the Mlnno- apollo Joutnil. A tall man , with whiskers and very large rockets In his overcoat , walked Into the bird store and pulled two yellow f-rrcts out of them. Ho wanted' to sell the ferrets to the Whltechapel gentleman that conducts tlio place , declaring that- they wer ? perfectly trained , and the bent pair of workers In the country. There Is such a din In the ifhnn frnm thn throats of 1.000 of more bullfinches , chaffinches , linnets , larks , lov ? birds , locns , magpies and parrots that It Is hard to carry on an intelligent con versation , but the loud mouthed and cheekiest bird In the lot is a black and white magpie that says tha most disgraceful things in a voclfcrouy voice. It Is saidi that ho once be- Icnged to the captain of a tramp pteamer plying bJtwccn London nnd Philadelphia , whoso wife Instated on going to sea with him. Anyhow , the magpie ID possessed , of an extra ordinary vocabulary and a malignant dls- pcullloi : . "You'ro a thief ! " shrieked the magplo , and the tall man with the ferrete Jumped as though ono of thm had bitten him. "Did I get you dldagetja , " went on the magpie , dancing up and down In bio cage as though thoroughly pleased with himself. "Don't take no nctlca of Mm , " said the dealer ; ' "ees alluu got 'Is 'ammer hout In the morning. " The tall man put hU turrets on the ground to show them off .better , when the dcor opened and In walked a fellow with a half grown bull terrier pup that looked as though he had seen grief , young as he was. Th9 male ferret went for the pup's hind legs straight as a die and nipped him se verely. The pup turned on. the ferret with a snarl , but the ferret bit him on the nose , and then there was fun. The loon In the back of the rtore had been taking a bath In a big dish of water , but ho crawled out , ctuck hlo long neck through the bars ot the cage and laughed Idiotically. About twenty parrots and a. whole crowd of pare quets made all sorts of remarks , omo of them ylpplng and yelling like the dog , and othera squealing like the ferret. The mag- nlft vvn n'.mnlv llpslde "What tht what the what the well WCH well what am I saying , what am I saying ? " chattered the black and white bird shrilly. "Take the ferret off , " cried the owner of the dog , "you hain't got no business with ferrate running arcund loose , nohow. " It was not such an vasy matter to take the ferret off , though , because ferret and dog were all tangled up and rolling around the floor promiscuously. At that moment the other ferret decided to take a hand In the game , and his sharp Jawa closed on the pup's eft hind leg with a snap. That made the pup crazy. He got both his fore pawo on the ferret and trl d hard to pull It IOOPO from that nosa hold , but the rabbit chaser was riveted. The female ferret kept taking- bites nt the pup's rear xtremetles. Such a worrying , onarllng , growling , snapping - ping exhlblllon was never offered as a free show before , and all the talking birds appre ciated It. "Chew him up chew him up what the what the what am I eayjngf continued .tho magpie. Then somebody throw a big pall of water on the combatants , the ferreta let go , the bull pup sneaked and the magpie wound up the performance with "What the what the well well well. " Acts at once , never fall * , One Minute Cough Cure , A remedy for asthma and that fever ish condition which accompanies a severe cclJ. The only harmless remedy that pro duces Immrdiato results.

AND MRS , BINKS. U TJ ; Plain prfd' Unvarnished Tnlo of Wlfoly Devotion , lite. * " Kn hltiKlon Post. This Is a story or wlvM. It exhibits a noble woman's cirqr j , to aid her husband , divide his burdens fyiiBhleM ] him from worry and care. And It Ipo shows' what happened to the beneficiary of all these- praiseworthy exertions on her part. Hlnks was an excellent man , hardworking and sober. Ho made Rood money nnd took It homo to his wife for her Judgment to settle. Ito fate , every dollar of It. Mrs. Illnk was a , woman amonB a thou sand. When taken separate and apart from Ills wife and questioned Ulnks said slit ? was a "corker. " Pressed as to what he- meant by "corker , " Blnks' declined all attempts at definition , and beyond Insisting that Mrs. Ulnka was and would remain a "corker" would say nothing. from what was Bald of Mrs. Dinks by her self It would sesm that she. was a true , loving wife to ninlcs , and that nsldj from tlio duty every woman owed to her sex and the estab lishment of Its rights In all the. avenues of life , she- held that with the wedding ring came a list of duties duo from a good woman to her husband which could not be avoided or gone abcut. "Somo women , " quoth Mrs. D. , "worry their husbands with a detail of small mat ters. A woman who Is to be a helpmeet to her husband such as I am to nlnks will be sert-rellant and decide things for herself. In the llttlo care * ' of llfo that fall to her share let her go forward by herself. What la the u.33 of adding' her troubles to his ? If she has plans let her execute them. If problems confront her let her solve them. If she tells her husband aught of the thou sand llttlo enterprises of her dally homo life let It bo then the result. When success teas come to her she may call her husband to witness the victory. Asldo from that she should face her responsibilities alone. " Of course , Mrs. n. did not mean by all this that sh would not bo open and frank with nlnks and confide in him If a burgl.ir was In the house ; or If the house- took lire In the night that she would not arouse Ulr.ks nnd mention It. What she did mean was that when It .camo to such things as dismissing the servant girl the wife should gird up h'T loins and fire the maiden single- handed , and not ring her husband In on a p'.ay manifestly disagreeable and likely to si'bject him to pain and remorse. It chanced but recently that an oppor tunity opened llko a gate for Mrs. I ) , to Illustrate h r doctrine that wives should proceed with a pMIn duty alone , without Imposing needless anxiety on the head of the family. Mrs. Ulnks had decided to visit her bis ter In Philadelphia , She was to go Thurs day , and nlnks , wfio was paid his sweat- bought stlp : d onj&Dnday , was to cough up the money Monday qvenlng wherewith to make the trip. ' > , It chanced unfortunately that pay day this jpartlnular wcClr waci deferred. The head partner was slclc'br out of town ; ch cka could not be drawn' ! or something like that. } ' , "Hut your money wjll come on Saturday , boys , " said the 'Other partner. So Uluks was obliged to Walt. , ' The money was alrlght ; It would , bo accu rately on tap Saturday ; so IJInks took no fret on that point. . Hut what was he to do about Mrs. B ? That good woman was to Thursday , and In order to organize for the1 descent upon her rel ative would resd the.nibney $10 on Tuesday. What was.ninks to do ? ' Clearly lie niualj do-jisomethlng. He could not ask Jlrr. n. tq put off her trip a week ; in deed , his reluctance to take such a coumj came almost to a1 point of superstition. " " in ' ' ' Ma'-'troiiblri iBlhks sn'dtlghly lilfn of a gold watch o his father's with a rich chain and guard attached. These .pre . cious heirlooms had besiv given to Ulnks by the elder Blnku' executor , and were cher ished accordingly. Ilather than disappoint Mrs. B. tlu worthy Binka decided that just for once In his life he woulii seek a pawnbroker and do buslnesy with that common relative of us all. nlnks felt timid and ashamed , but the case ; was urgent. Thera was no risk , for his money would float In all right on Saturday. Ulnks could th n redeem these pledgsa from dis graceful hock , and. ' all would be well. Mrs. B. would be in Philadelphia on redemption day , uj it woum nov uu nuctupary u > leu ner any thing about the matter. It would save her a piin , and Dinks bravely determined to kep the whole transaction dark. Again , If ho told her he had not been paid at the store the bravo woman would infallibly wend to his employers' house and demand th ; reason why. This would be useless and em barrassing. Therefore Blnks wculd' sly noth ing. He would pawn'tho ancestral supr , and get it again when his money came in and lily wlfj wa.3 away. The watch and Its apportionments wore snug In the far corner of a bureau drawer away over and behind Mra , B.'s lingerie. Blnks bad a watch of his own , a Waterbury with a mainspring as endless aa a chain pump. Mrs. B. saw , thsrefore , no reascn why ho should carry the gold watch of his progen itor. Blnks might lese It. Mrs. B , strongly advlced that It bo kept In the bureau where It would be safe ; and , cf course , in an affair of that sort , Blnks look his wife's advlc ? . Blnks reflected that he must oecure the watch and pawn It that night. To do so ho must plot to get Mro. n. cut of the house. Blnks thought deeply. At last ho had It. Blnko eent a message homo In tha after noon and nske.l Mrs. n. to meet him at a store down town at C o'clock. Then he had himself released at 5:30 : o'clock and went hot foot homeward. The enact was clear ; Mrs. B. was down town In deferanco to his stratagem , no doubt believing that Blnks meditated blowIng - Ing her off to soda water or some other delicacy as the cause of his midJon com mons of the afternoon , She little knew eli3 was the 'victim of deceit. If aho had there would have boon fun. Blnks rushed at once to the bursau and secured the treasure. He did not wait a moment , but plunged cff to a store where the thro ? balls over the door bore testi mony to the commerce within. Blnks would explain to Mrs. B. on his return how lie had mltrasd her , arid BO failed to keep his date with her downtown. The merchant of Jeans and pledges loolteJ " over nlnks' timepiece" , and then as Blnks requested gave hlm'Ca'ticket for It and $40. It was to bo rededffed In thirty daya or sooner. And nlntf ; "v\aa \ to pay JI4 to get it again. ninksri.was . very willing. Any thing was wiser nnd better tban to permit Mrj. B.'a visit trr-jiCT sister to bo Inter ' ' ' ' rupted. When Blnks got liomo Mrs. B. was al ready returned. Thprf was a bad light In her eye , and she * actept ; J Blnks' excusea and explanation a1)t6.t"how ho mlesed her down town" with1 atf evil grace. She as good au told Ulnkytliat she. believed that lie deceived her , and'lhat It the phenomenon were treed sheWoXlld flnd another woman In the cas > . U ' < 5 However , Blnkslhhfl the preaance of mind to turn over the > $10 > 'lt& had reaped on the watch , nnd as hQ oVmi'ssed It later ; "That sort of hfi&Jltfl her up , " The next day llukiiTcturned ! to his labors , while Mrs. li. vrpalred to tlie marts | o plunge moderately on what truck she stood In want of for her 'trip. When Mrs. B , got back to the house li chanced that the first thing she needed \v-aa In the fatal drawer , She opened It. Horroro ! The watch was gone. ,0f course Mrs , B , knew It had been stolen. Anybody could ceo that from the way every garment had been carefully laid back to hide the loss. - . What should she do ? The police must be at once notified. Mrs. B. pulled on her shaker and scooted for the Central station. She told her story out of breath. She. had left her house at 5 o'clock and was back at 4 o'clock and In that short hour her home had been entered and looted of Ha treasures. Made to be specific , Mrs. B. said the treasures were a watch and chain , and described them. "What was they'worth ? " asked the chief of detectives. Mrs. B. considered a bit , and then said they would be dog cheap at $1,000. $ She reflected that the sum It published In the papero would bo ft sourc * of pride. The chief of detectives told Mrs. B , his men would look about for her property , and ohould they hear of It or nnd It they would at once inotlfy her. i'ou bet your gum boots , ma'am , " snld the sleuth confidentially , "whatever crook's gel your ticker , he's due to soak it or plant It somo'ors In a week , Mebby he'll turn It over to his Moll. But the minutehe springs It , ma'am , or turns It up we'll bo ilcnd sure to put you on In a Jiff. " "Thank you , " said Mrs. I ) . Then shf went homo , and , true to her determination to save Blnks from unnecessary worry , she told htm nothing cf the loss nor of her arrangements for Its recovery. "What's the use of bothering Blnks ? " she asked herself. "All ho could do would bo to notify the police , and I've done Hint. " Thursday came , and Mrs. B , took the train for Philadelphia. No notlca bad come from the police. Blnks was glad to sec her go , Ho had lived In fear lest she come across the departure of the watch. He breathed cosier when she was gone. Aa for Mrs. H. , as she bad not heard from the police there was nothing to tell Iilnk ; so , like , n salf- rellant woman , who did not believe In mak ing her husband unhappy to no purpose , she took the train without woril or sign as to her knowledge of the watch's dis appearance. H was Friday ; always an unlucky day. Btnks wns walking swiftly homeward. Blnks was thinking BOIIIO Idle things when a hand came down on his shoulder , heavy as a ham. "Hold on , mo covey , I want you. " Blnks looked around , scared and startled. Ha had been halted by a stocky , bluff man In citizen's clothes. "What Is It ? " gasped Blnks. "Of course sech a Ily guy as you don't know ? " said the bluff man , with a great Biioor. "Well , never mind w3iy I wants you ; I'm a detective , and you coino with me. " And Ulnks wont with him. Not cnly that , but Blnks went In a noisy patrol wagon , which the detective rang for , and It kept Ranging Its way along nnd attracted every body's attention. The word went about that Blnks was drunk and had been fighting. "And to think a man would act llko that , " said one lady , who know Blnks by sight , "Just he-cause his wlfo is away on n visit. It I were his wife I'd never come back to him. " At the station Blnks was solemnly looked over by the chief "Ho's the party , " said the chief at last. "Exactly old Goldberg's description of the party who spouts the ticker. Where did you collar him. BUI ? " "I sees him paddln' along on the avenoo , " replied the bluff man , "and I tumbles to the sucker like a hod of brick. I knowed ho was a sneak the first look I gives ; and the second I says to meself 'ho's wanted for a watch. ' Then J nails him. " "Do you know-who ho Is ? " asked the chief. "My name , " said Binks , wlio was recover ing from the awful daze that had seized him , my name Is U " "Shot up ! " said the bluff man. "Dcn't give us any guff. It'll be the worse for you. " "I know the mark , " said an officer looking on. "Hlo name Is Windy Joe , the Mags- nian. His mug's In the gallery all right enough ; number thirty-eight , I think. " "That's correct , " said the chief. "I knowed ho was familiar to me , and I never forgets a face. Frisk him. Bill , and lock him up. " "But my name's Blnks , " protested cur hero. "I'm an Innocent man. " "That'o what they all says , " replied the chief. "Go through him Bill and lock him up ; I want to go to me grub. " So Blnks was cast Into a dungeon. Next door tp him was a lunatic , who reviled him all night. On the blotter the Ingenuity of the chief detective had Inscrlb3d : "Windy Joe , the Magrman , alias Blnlcs. jHousebreaklng jn" the , daytime. " There is no need of spinning out 'the agony. Of coursa Blnks got frcs of the scrape sc-me twelve hours later. But It was all very unfortunate. Ho came very near dismissal at the stcra and the neighbors don't understand It yet. They shako their beads and cuy : "It'o very'Strange if he's so Innocent why he was locked up. When the police take a man ho's generally done something. " "I'm not sorry a bit , " said Mrs. B. when ah ? was brought back from Philadelphia on Saturday by a wire the police allowed Blnks to send her. "And when I saw him with the ofllcera I was a coed mind to tell them to keep hint au ever I had td eat. To think how ho decIved me about that watch ; al lowing mo to break my heart with thought ! ) of It being stolen. I guess the next time Blnks rneaks off to pawn his dead father's watch he'll 1st me know. " IIIJXXIXG FIGHT WITH WOI/VKS. Cniitnlii nnlilvrlii Kept It Up For Fully Tin-nly MlIrM. Captain Baldwin gave me an account of an accident that happened to him In May , 1S86 , says a writer In the North American Hevlew. "I was stationed , " said he , "at Fort Har- kor , Kan. , In command of a company of the Thirty-seventh Infantry. Fort Hnrkor was located on the overland stage route from Fort Riley to Denver , and after leaving Fort Harlcer it was unsafe for any one to travel in daylight except with a good escort ot troops. "On one of my Journeys of Inspection I stopped about thirty miles from the fort to have a buffalo hunt , and hunted all day long , but at night I was obliged to start back for the post. I left the Elation about 4 o'clock In the afternoon In a light snowstorm , with a tolerably fresh horse , that was both strong and spirited. I was alone and armed with a small 3C-callbr pistol , depending almost entirely upcn my hors ? to escape any dan ger from Indians , not anticipating danger from any other source. "I bad ridden about ten miles when It began to grow dark. My horse , taking an eary trot , I was rather enjoying the rid ? . I had noticed previously to thla time the howlIng - Ing of wolves , but had paid very llttlo atten tion to It. As I rode along I noticed that this howling began to. get closir , and nt length was aroused from my rsverlo by the Dark and uowl of two or threa wolves vary close to me. Looking back I saw two coyotes and one big prairie , or Lobo , wolf following close behind mo and howling their utmost. This rather startled the horsi , as you may bj euro It did me , I Increased my spce-J , but still they gained on mo , and It wasn't long before their numbers grew to a dozen or mors , and the distance between them and my horsj was very much lessened , "I had left the stage route , Intending to go to the post by a trail which would MVO mo something more than five miles In dis tance , and r.s It was dark I had hopes of gaining ono of the stations along the- route , but was obllgsd to Keep the trail , trusting to my mount to take me- out of what had now become a real danger. The wolves kept gaining on me. , until they had gotten within n very short distance , before I tired th9 first shot at them , which , fortunately , disabled ono of their number to the extent that blood ram from him and he began to howl , where upon tha whole puck turned upon him and tore him to pieces. This gave me a little etnrt of 100 or 200 yards before , they commenced following again. I flrod every idiot with the greatest care , and It was seldom that I missed disabling or killing one of them. "Afraid of tiring my horse at the start , I roJo very carefully. The number of the wolves Increased , until there were net fewer than fifty or seventy-flvo of them , and they followed me for at least twenty miles , cut ting my horw In the rear and flanks , often almost In front , enabling mete shoot them from right to loft , firing when the animals were pot four fett ( Jlrrtint from mo. Fortu nately I ran through a larga herd of buffalo , which , I think , diverted a large portion of the wolves from following me. Still s'omo of them kept after me until I got within five miles of the post , when I had only fpur rounds of ammunition left , and I felt It was necessary to make the supreme effort to escape from them. My home was nearly ex hausted , and bleeding from tin wounds * of the wolves , but I put spurs to him , urging him to the utmost speed , and reached the bank of the Smoky Hill river , on the side opposite that on which the post was locatel , completely worn out with fatigue and ex citement , and my hors& dropped before I could remove the caddie. I then waded tbo river , filled with floating Ice. " DeWltt's Little Early Ituen the pills that euro conttlpatloa and biliousness. Current Literature.
