"HEAP SMELL.” fke Indian Knew What He Waited and Where to Get It. Some Indians from Buffalo Bill’s Wild West, arrayed in bright colored blankets and an exceptional urnount of face paint, were taking in the sights of the city one ufternoou. They stroll¬ ed down Walnut street, single file, and, headed by a buck who now and then gave a grunt of satisfaction when some¬ thing that pleased him caught his eye, they halted in front of a drug store and gazed at the window display for a moment. Then the band filed Into the establishment and began to look around. The clerk thought the place was go¬ ing to be besieged and that he was like¬ ly to lose his scalp, but when the “big chief,” who acted as spokesman, ad¬ dressed him with the customary Indian greeting of "How!” the clerk regained his composure enough to ask the Indi¬ an what he wanted. “Heap smell,” was the reply. Directed by the Indian’s finger to * showcase, the clerk produced a bar of soap. The brave took it gingerly, re¬ moved the wrapper, smelled It and bit Into the toothsome looking article. With a deep grunt of displeasure he handed It back to the drug clerk. With a disgusted look be remarked, “Heap smell!” The clerk began to tremble, and the Indlnn pointed to a perfume bottle in the showcase. The bottle of perfume wns handed to him. The Indian held It In both hands for a moment, closely scrutinizing It. He slowly removed the stopper, closely watching It as If he expected it to explode, and took a long sniff,at the bottle, gave n grunt of saiUfactloo^. handed the clerk some money affd le'd TilA bandfof, Jjnajves jout of the store, to the delight of the fright- ■ ened clerk, who had not been' In the practice of waiting on real Indians.— Kansas City Journal. ISi;»;cll nn ii iri* s uuti*. lltnry ( The late UukseMf the.yeteran English composer of “Cheer, Bdys, Cheer,” and of more than 800 other songs which were popular In their day, had many amusing experiences when he rang his ballads on various occa¬ sions. Once, after rendering "Woodman, Spare That Tree," a gentleman rose In the gallery and asked, "Was the tree spared?” On being answered in the affirmative he, with a*sigh of heartfelt relief, exclaimed. “Thank God for that!" After singing tin song of “The Dog Carlo,” who jumped <>1Y an Atlantic liner aud saved a ehikl’s life. Bussell wns gravely waited upon by' a couple ot Yorkshire miners, who begged him for fl' pnp.

I confess, however, to a slightly disconcerted feeling when shortly before my third marriage I was approached by ene of my daughters, a girl of 9 aud one who called my seeoud wife mother, with the question: ‘Papa, will you let me go to see you married? 1 have never been at any of your weddings.’ ’’—Fun. 25 DMvIVby A ST achk and BturnATtSM relievea Dr. Miles’ Nerve Plasters- •Ji il!fi I Our fee returned if we fail.

Why the Confederate Lender ed to Correct Uli Spelling. “General Forrest of the army,” said an ex-Confederate “was a military genius of the rank. Without previous training or developed taste in that direction went ln(o the army from a place overseer and attained rank absolutely by merit. Rough uncouth at first, he became In later a courtly gentleman whom it was pleasure to meet and to know. 1 member on one occasion some time aft¬ er the war coming up the with.; him I wanted to introduce young woman who was under my es eort. He said he was flattered by request, but that he could not her unless she knew perfectly well who he was and that he was not 'held In high esteem by the northern people chiefly on account of the Fort Pillow affair. I assured him that she was ful¬ ly apprised of his record, and then he went with me to meet her, and she told me loter she had never met a more at¬ tractive man. “Earlier in his career — that is, be¬ fore he had learned to spell—he was asked by a young lady to put his auto¬ graph In her album. He wrote his name as requested and under U his title, ‘ma¬ jor general of calvary,’ as he spelled it. The Indy called his attention to it in a very delicate way, and he looked at It a moment, and with a full conscious¬ ness that he wns lacking in that regard and with a beautiful and scarcely to be expected humility be said, 'Let ifstand to show how Ignorant General Forrest Is.’ There are not many men who would have done that, I Imagine, and it was the little things that showed the man's true greatness.’'— New York Bun. -Ai Mad aa a Hitter .* 1 Probably very few persons who fre¬ quently use the expression “As mad as a hatter” have any Idea as to what it means or why a hatter is necessarily any more subject to fits of anger than a plumber, a blacksmith or a carpen¬ ter. The expression Is said to have come into use half a century ago, when the manufacture of bats was done wholly by hand. The most striking thing about the process was that of the beating up of the felt. The hatter first dipped the mass of wool and hair fre queutly Into hot water;'then, seizing a stick In each hand, he belabored mass most vigorously, stopping noav and then to get his breath, until the material was matted together in a rough sort of felt. The lively boating administered to the felt, as if the work man were actually incensed, gave rise to the familiar simile. An Uneven Content. “They had a lively boxing match at Splinter’s the other'night.” “How wns that?” “Splinter cunie home late, and. as he passed through the hull his wife’s tall¬ est palm touched him on the cheek. Splinter wns in an excited condition and .thought It Was somebody’s fingers, So. he struck out wildly with both fists and succeeded In knocking over two palms and severely humping his own head.” “But why do you call it a boxing match?" “Because Splinter put up his knuc¬ kles against bis wife’s palms.’’—Cleve¬ land Plain Dealer. \vii>- in* i.ife w«>« n Failure. “Yes. 1 consider my life a failure.” “Oh, Henry, how sad! Why should you say that?” “I spent all my time making money enough to buy food aud clothes, and the food disagrees with me, and my clothes dou’t fit.”—Life. Ill* Fervent Hope.
