THEIR FIRST FUSS.
A. Squatter's Pathetbtc Story of the Time
He end HU Wife Quarreled.
The squatter's cabin had grown to
pretentious proportions during the forty
years he had occupied it. The old man
remajped unchanged except for the ef-
fectJfa passing years. The crowd of
youfk people that had collected at his
house to spend the afternoon pressed
biin to tell them a story of his early life
in that region.
After a little hesitation he began;
“Lemme see. hit’s jist forty-fo’ year ergo
'at me on’ mer wife wuz maird an’
moved ter this country fur ter set up fer
ourse’fs. We had er log cabin with on’y
one room, an’ er shed fur ther stawk. I
"worked powerful hard er clearin’ uv
lan’ an’ er makin* er crap at ther same
time. Wife oilers fetched mer dinner
ter me, an’ she staid in ther fiel’ with
me mo’n half her time. We wuz happy,
ez happy ez ef we wuz rich.
“One rnawnin’ we had er fuss. 1 dis-
remember whut hit wuz erbont, but 1
went erway mad an’ ief her cryin’. At
dinner time she nuver come. I ’lowed
ter myse’f ’at she wuz mad, an’s* I, ‘Let
her stay mad ef she wants ter.’ Bimeby
I gits so hungry ’at I started fur ther
house jist er bilin’. Wen 1 got thar
ever’thing wuz thar ’ceptiu’ mer wife.
Thar wuz raer dinner ready fur ter
take ter me. but wife wuzn’ thar nnr
thererbouis. 1 gits sheered an’ 1 calls
her, but no answer.
“Finely 1 seed ther dawg er cornin’.
Ho axed mo fur ter foller him plain ez
talk an* I done hit. He sot off fur ther
creek an’ me er follerin’. Purty soon wo
corned ter ther creek an’ he rnnned down
ther bank an’ me arter him. Nex’
heared him bark, ‘Yore she is,’ jist ez
plain. I runned whar he wuz an’ thar
wuz wife er layin’ on ther groun’ pale
an’ white ez er ghos’. She smiled when
bho seed me an’ say. ‘I’m so glad yer
come.’ •
“Then she p’inted ter er grapevine full
er grapes wlmt. wuz on er dead tree, an’
she say, s’,she, ‘I wuz er tryin’fur ter git
yer them grapes fur yer dinner fur ter
git yer in er good humor with me. Er
. lim’ broke an’ I fell. Yer ain’t mad at
me now,.air ye?* 1 felt like killin’ mer
fool se’f fur ever bein’ mad at her.
“Hit don’t matter whut I tol* her then,
I toted her ter ther house, an’ nussed her
twell she got well. I wouldn’ let nobody
/ do nothin’ fur her but me, an’ she ’peared
like she nuver wanted no one to. Well,
arter er while she got well, an’ we wuz
happy ergin. That wuz ther on’y fuss
we ever had. Sence then ef one shows
signs er gittin’ mad ther yether says
‘grupes,’ an’ hit stops thar.”—Chicago
Special Press Bureau.
The Upturn to the Pipe.
A Madisou street cigar man is author
ity for the statement that the better class
of smokers is returning to the pipe for
comfort. This is not only shown by the
demand-for such goods, but by the nov
elties that are being gotten out by French
factories as well as those in America.
“There is no use of an Amorican shut
ting his eyes to it. The’French still lead
in everything that is novel and artistic,
and we follow. Here is a French nov
elty in the pipe line. It is a leather case.
It contains four French sweet briar
pipes. Yon see the variety of stems and
mouthpieces. It reminds you maybe
of a fine fishing tackle. Yon can have
your stems long or short You can have
ihcm straight or crooked. The artistic
smoker doesn't confine himself to one
pipe.
“He takes one of these, for instance,
and smokes it one evening with a long
stem. He takes another the next even
ing with a short stem, and so on. You
will notice, too, that by a curious ar
rangement these stems are so construct
ed that it is impossible for the smallest
particle of nicotine to reach the lips of
the smoker. The outfit I show you costs
$30. Then there are others that contain
• fewer .pipes, and some contain but one
with different stems.”—Chicago Tribune.

A Chemical Lung.
A “chemical lung” is the latest thing
proposed for the ventilation of tunnels.
It was lately tested in London by four
teen scientists. A room In by 18 was
kept for an.hour at a temperature of 82
(legs., and the air was loaded with
impurities. The men of science were
now called ui>on to enter, and the air
was made still more impure by bunting
| sulphur and carbonic acid gas. Then
the “chemical lung.” or punkah, so
called, measuring 4 by 2.0, was set in
| motion.
The temperature was soon reduced to
•"> degs., and the air-freed from all
Impurities. Then fat was burned, to
l st the inuchiue for organic substances.
I the “lung” was started up just in
e to prevent the examining gentle-
tn from running out for fresh air. It
[proposed to use the invention during
I construction of the channel.tunnel.

“Every man," say uu American
writer, “has got a fort* It's some men’s
forte to do one thing, aid other men’s
forte to do another.while there are
numerous shiftless creiores whose forte

but a slight qualificatid, would seem to
bo the characteristic oilia.Npone Pyeni,
a middle aged Germ*, walking with
the aid of crutches, fu> appeared at
Guildhall police court, leused of persist
ently soliciting alms fim gentlemen in
Broad street.
Pyeni. it was said, jad not done a
stroke of work since head been in Eng
land, and he was ahvaj to be found in
one or the other of ti city thorough
fares begging. The wi| German denied
the soft impeachmenUhe was not beg
ging, ho urged, but sellijg matches. The
ingenuity of this assevration was made
manifest when the pofro officer stated
that true it was the jjsoner had three
boxes of matches upo him, but they
were in his jiocket.
The presiding aldetian. Sir James
Whitehead, remarked iat matches were
very much used as a oak for begging.
“You must understad,” the worthy
magistrate added. **tlri we cannot hav
you foreign beggars cuiing over to this
country to l>eg.” Thi being the first
offenso Pyeni was discharged, and he
lost no time in hobblin,out of court. If
begging there must liethere is no need
to import foreign menicants.—London

All the members had t> wear a sort of

except on particular lays, when ac

One side of the room ras occupied by
an enormous gridiron, through which
one conld see a cook in > white cap and
blouse standing by n fro in readiness
for action. The steaks rere served on
hot jiewter.plates, togctllr with Spanish
onions, eschalots and liked potatoes,
and were washed dowi with port or

mitted was toasted chase. This dis
