THE FARMER WON.
—
* But Schaefer Considers It the Shortest
Game of His Life.
"Some years ago,” saida sporting
man, “when Scnaefer kept a billiard
room in this city, he was always ready
to play all comers who desired a game.
Many strangers and people unknown to
Schaefer naturally strolled in; many,
too, who probably did not know him.
But it made no difference to Schaefer.
Sometimes strangers would desire to
play for money, but this Schaefer would
never do. To all such propositions he
would say: ‘No, I won’t play for mon
ey, but I’ll tell you what I will do—l
will play a game, the loser to treat the
house.’
“One day an old farmer entered the
place, and after wandering about look
ing at the pictures on the walls and ex
amining the tables he asked if there
was any one present who would like to
play him a game of billiards. Schaefer,
as usual, said that he would play the
stranger.
“ ‘How much shall we play for?’ ask
ed the farmer.
“ ‘I never play for money, ’ replied
Schaefer, ‘but I will play you for the
drinks for the house. *
" ‘All right, • said the farmer. ‘How
many points shall we play?’
“ ‘Oh, ’ replied Schaefer demurely in
all the consciousness of his superior
powers, ‘we’ll just play until you are
satisfied, and we will call that a game. ’
“The crowd smiled as the players
prepared for the contest. The balls were
placed on the table, and Schaefer
brought out his favorite cue, and it fell
to his lot to open the game.
“The opening shot in a billiard game
is a somewhat difficult one, as most
players know,, and Schaefer, probably
through indifference, missed it He not
only missed it, but left the balls close
together near one of the cushions. It
was what is termed in billiard parlance
a ‘set up/
“The old farmer carefully chalked
his cue, and after deliberation made the
shot He then gazed at the balls a mo
ment, laid down his cue and exclaimed:
“ ‘I am satisfied.*
“The score was then 1 to 0 in favor
of the old farmer, but as Schaefer had
agreed to make the game as long or
short as the farmer desired he had to be
satisfied. Schaefer of course had to in
vite all present, including his conqueror,
to partake of the hospitality of the
house. As the crowd laughed and drank
Schaefer remarked that the game was
the shortest he had ever played, and
probably the shortest on record.’’—New
York Tribune.
LOVED LIFE TOO WELL.
Ancient Nitohei Indian Who Rebelled
Agulnat Bela* Sacrificed.
One of the repulsive features of the
laws under which the Natchez Indians
were governed was that when a mem
ber of the royal family of the nation
died itwaa necessary that several others
of the people should accompany him to
the tomb by suffering death at the
hands of executioners. When the
“great sun,’’ the hereditary chief of
the whole nation, died, all his wives,
in case he were provided with more
than one, and also several of his sub
jects, were obliged to follow him into
the vale of shadows. The “little suns,”
secondary qhiefs, and also members of
the royal family, likewise claimed,
when dying, their tribute of death from
the living. In addition to this, the in
exorable law also condemned to death
any man of the Natchez race who had
married a girl of the royal line of the
“suns. 1 ’ On the occasion of her death
he was called upon to accompany her.
“I will narrate to you upon this sub
ject,” writes an old French chronicler
of Louisiana, “the story of an Indian
who was not in a humor to submit to
this law. His name was EtteacteaL He
had contracted an alliance with the
‘suns. ' The honor came near having a
fatal result for him. His wife fell sick,
and as soon as he perceived that she
was approaching her end he took to
flight, embarking in a pirogue on the
Mississippi, and sought a refuge in New
Orleans. He placed himself under the
protection of the governor, who was at
that time M. de Bienville, offering him
self to be the governor’s hunter. The
governor accepted his services, and in
terested himself in his behalf with the
Natchez, who declared, in answer, that
he had nothing to fear, inasmuch as the
ceremony was over, and as he had not
been present when it took place he was
no longer available as a candidate for
execution. ” —New Orleans Picayune.
Flower Painter*.
About the last literary work complet
ed by the late Cora Stuart Wheeler was
a beautiful tribute to “Some Court
Painters to Queen Rose” published in
The Woman’s Home Companion, in
which she says:
“As a rule, women make the best
flower painters. The men who excel in
this branch of art are comparatively
few, even when we consider the small
number ot artists of both sexes who
have acquired reputation in the pictur
ing of flowers. The reason is not diffi
cult to see. The average woman has a
fondness for flowers which brings her
into the closest sympathy with them
and enables her to appreciate and un
derstand them as men seldom do. In
the interpretation of certain subtle
pharea of floral life her sensitive tem
perament and the peculiarly sympathetic
filing that she is apt to bring to her
labor of love especially qualify her for
engaging in this department of picture
making. In point of technical ability
some marvelously clever work has been
done by artists of the gentler sex in the
reproduction of flowers and in the
’ treatment of difficult subjects. ”

SOMETHING JUST AS GOOD.
Bow • Billow* Maa Gave Vp Hl* Two Capo j
of Breakfast Coffee.
An east end man was advised some
time ago not to drink coffee. His doctor |
told him it helped to make his liver tor
pid and bis liver was doing its best to
render life miserable for himself and all ,
the rest of the family.
But, no, he couldn’t give np his two
cups at breakfast time. He couldn’t ,
make the sacrifice. Nothing could take <
the place of the delicious Java and
Socha mixed that he had learned to
love. |
One day his wife suggested in a mild <
way that be might be just as well sat- (
isfied with one of -the brands of imita- ]
tion coffee- He almost frothed at the
mouth. ~ i
“That infernal stuff!” he cried <
“Not much. The very first gulp would (
settle me. I’d like to see anybody try to |
fool me with a counterfeit of that sort. ” ;
He didn’t notice that his wife quietly <
smiled. But, strange to say, from. ,
time on he grew better. His bilious i
tendency was greatly lessened He felt ]
like a new man. i
One day he met the doctor.
“Hello, doc!” be cried. “I’m getting
better in spite of you. ”
“Given up coffee, have you?” queried
the smiling doctor.
“Given up coffee? Not much. Coffee’s
all right”
A few weeks later he met the man
from whom he ordersjiis groceries.
“Hello!” quoth the grocer. “How
well you are looking!”
"Yes,” said the convalescent, “I’m
feeling a great deal better. ”
”By the way,” said the grocer, "you
seem to like that substitute I’ve been
sending yon. ”
~ 5 ‘ ‘What substitute?* ’ ■-
“Why, that substitute for coffee.”
And he named one of the numerous im
Rations of the fragrant berry.
“Never had a. cup of it in the house,”
said the bilious man emphatically.
“That’s funny,” said the grocer. “I
haven’t sold your folks a pound of gen
uine coffee in the last three montha ”
The bilious man didn’t say anything
further, but his thoughts were busy.
The’next morning he looked at his cup
a little suspiciously, but he drank it
without a tremor. 'Perhaps he fancied
he detected the difference; perhaps not
Anyway, his wife still fondly imagines
he doesn’t know of the deception.—

EARLY ARITHMETICS.
Struggle* of the Pilgrim Children With
One of the "RV
Next to penmanship the colonial
school gnd schoolmaster took firm stand
on “ciphering.” "The Bible and Ag
gers is what I want my boys to know, ”
said the oltl farmer. I have examined
with care a Wingate’s Arithmetic which
was used for over a century in the Wins
low family in Massachusetts. The first
edition was printed in 1620. It is cer
tainly bewildering to a modern reader.
“Pythagoras—His Table”, is, of course,
our multiplication table, Then comes
“The Rule of Three,” “The Double
Golden Rule, ” “The Rule of Fellow
ship,” “The Rule of False,” etc., end
ing with “a collection of pleasant and
polite questions to exercise all the parts
of vulgar arithmetiok. ”
Wingate.’s Arithmetic and Hodder’s
Airthmetio were succeeded by Pike’s
Arithmetic. This had 863 rules to
be committed to memory, and not an
explanation was given of one of them.
It is the most barren schoolbook I
have ever read. These printed arith
metics were not in common use. Near
ly all teachers had manuscript “sum
books, ” from which the scholars copied
page after page of “sums, ” too often
without any explanation of the process,
though there were also many and long
rules, which helped the penmanship if
they did not the mathematics. —Chau
tauquan.
Daudet and Animal*.
Daudet had a lurking kindness for
sinners. He pitied them, for he could
not see how in the long run they could
succeed in anything. But the self right
eous were more offensive to him. I
think he was right in saying that men
and women who pass for having never
sinned are unpleasant companions, and,
from the day of judgment standard,
perhaps the worst sinners of aIL The
sensibility shown in “Jack” and other
works did not extend to animals. Dan
det, though a cigalier, was deaf to the
chirp of grasshopper and cricket. Birds
have no place in his rural sketches. He
could not understand the touching
beauty of the “last friend” at the poor
man’s funeral. Animals were simply
brutes to Daudet At best they were
warnings to human beings not to live
merely to eat,- sleep and leave posterity
behind them. They sometimes were
vices incarnate. Such were the fox, the
serpent, the scorpion. What a selfish,
heartless thing the ant wasl It had a
head if you will, but it was the sort of
head that organizes labor in sooty fac
tory towns. The dog was the beastliest
beast of any. Daudet fled from every
drawing room where he saw a lapdog.

Au Arbitrary Fee.
i Victor Smith tells this story in the
New York Press: “My father was an
old time lawyer. He tried a little case
i for his bootmaker and entered on the
books a charge of |ls, the price of a new
i pair of boots. When the latter was de
livered, the accompanying bill was |BO.
> A man of any other profession would
• have taken offense at the apparent effort
1 to “do” him, but the lawyer smilingly
raised his fee to and Mr. Smart
> Aleck Bootmaker had tapay. That was
i an arbitrary, fee. Doctors sometimes en
joy the privileges of it."

MONKEYS AT FOOTBALL.
UkewtM Play Ofeket. tart Moi I
oordlng to Rulo.
Travelers in South Africa have noted
the fact that where monkeys congregate
in large numbers they also indulge in
games of a certain kind. Two of these
games seem to resemble cricket and
: ootball.
The cricket is of a primitive order.
About a dozen monkeys stand in a cir
cle or whatever is akin to .the simian
dea of. a circle. Two ot them advance
from different extremities of the circle I
and stop about 15 yards apart, facing
each other. The monkey at the southern
end of the circle has a cocoanut in his
hand. He is the bowlefiF
The monkey at the other end does
not, as you might snpyose, wield a full
cane bat. His basinets is to dodge the
coooanut which the bowler aims at his
head. The delivery of the ball is tre
mendously fast, full pitched and fraught
with dire results if it “touches the
spot.” When it does happen to touch
tho spet—that is, any part of the mon
key’s body—that monkey is very much
out and doesn’t even stop to dispute the
question. I
Another mpnkey takes his place until
he, too, receives his dismissal. It was
presumed by the travelers that the game
was finished when a majority of mon- I
keys lay nursing their wounds under I
the friendly shade of a neighboring I
Mb*.
The football is of a more advanced I
type. It is also played with a cocoanut. I
The game, if anything, is undoubtedly I
the “sooker” game and is played with I
the feet. Os course there is no goalaor I
any tactics to speak of, the object of
each animal being to keep the ball to
himself as much as possible.
Still the competition to get the ball
makes it resemble a rtal game of "foot
er,” and the dexterity exhibited by
these peculiar amateurs is surprising
and wonderful.
In an evil moment some ambitious
monkey may elect to play the Rugby
game by snatching up the ball and
making off, but the game then develops
into war, in which life is sometimes
the prize.
No mention is made of a referee, but
if there is one about, like a wise and
provident monkey, he is probably up a '
tree.—Brooklyn Times.
SHE BETRAYED HERSELF.
Dipped Her Spoon In the Milk Before
the Muah.
The woman mentioned in this little
story will be called Mrs. Haughty, but
she is known in almost every commu
nity by other names. She-is inclined to
do all she can to make other people be
lieve she is somebody and that she is
fitted for a higher sphere than the one
she is forced by adverse circufestanoes
to live in.
A short time ago Mrs. Haughty called
on a neighbor and accepted an invitation
to stay to supper. Mush and milk was
the principal supper dish, and Mrs.
Haughty declared with sundry ejacula
tions that she had never eaten the de
lightful compound. The steaming plat
ter of mush was set in the center of the
table and a bowl of milk placed before
Mrs. Haughty.
‘‘Just help yourself, Mrs. Haughty,”
remarked the hostess.
“Really, I do not know how to be
gin,” said Mrs. Haughty as she picked
up her spoon.
.Mrs. Haughty made a move, and one
of the children at the table leaned over
to her mother and whispered :
"She said she never atemushand
milk, but she dipped her spoon in the
milk before she dipped it into the
mush.”
That little movement gave Mrs.
Haughty away, for every lover of mush
and milk knows that if the spoon is
first dipped into the milk the mush will
not stick to it.—Omaha World-Herald.
A Tzlkinr Sheep’* Heed.
John Leitch of Rothesay once when
on a visit to Dunoon dropped into the
shop of Archie Mains and asked if he
had any good sheep’s heads.
“Oh, yes,” said Mains, “there's as
fine a one as ye ever saw, ” pointing to a
black face lying on the floor.
“Are you sure that it is fresh?” said
Mr. Leitch.
“Quite sure, sir, ” replied the butcher.
“It’s perfectly fresh.”
Thereupon Mr. Leitch, who was an
admirable ventriloquist, brought from
the sheep’s head the rather Confounding
ejaculation: “Oh, what a- lee! I’m
stinkin.”
“Oot o’my shop, ye leein deevil,”
exclaimed the butcher. “Didn’t I kill
ye wi* my ain hauns this very mornin?”
And, suiting the action to the words,
he kicked the offending sheep’s head into
the street.
To carry on the joke, Mr. Leitch, ob
serving a fine ox tongue in the window,
made it apparently say, “Shame od ye,
Archie Mains!” whereupon the amazed
butcher fled precipitately from the shop,
leaving it and all it contained at the
mercy of his waggish tormentor.—Nug

Freddie’s father had just been strug

and, retiring disheartened from an un
successful effort to open one of its com

, and looking out upon the lowering sky
he exclaimed, “It’s mighty strange that
the weather bureau can’t give us a
chamre of weather.”
“Maybe,” shyly interposed Freddie,
“they can’t open the bureau drawers. ”
