EATING POISoN.
The extraordinary sagacity o r
lveß has been very powerfully
inß tanced in a recent event on t e
per Waldron Ridge. A co’t die<i,
1 ‘ I M r . Warnock took D-n strych
■” e tablets and inserted th m
.arefuHy in various parts of the
bodv. He did not go near that
vincinitV fora couple of days, and
when he did he went expecting to
seo some results from the bait.
Thero was, however, no sign of a
W elf, living or dead, in sight; le
hunted around within a radius of
affl iie or two, but found nothing,
and finally he went over and ex
amined what remained of the dead
colt. There w,as not much; the
skin appeared to have been neatly
and completely flayed from the
body; nearly every panicle of
hesh was gone, as were also the
rib bones and anything smaller;
the fore and hind legs had hewn
wrenched off from the knee joint
down and carried off some dis
tance, where everything maskable
on them had been properly mash
ed. The skin was almost intact,
and spreading it out, hair side
down, Mr. Warnock casually ex
amined it, when he noticed with
some surprise a small bunch of
flesh that had been untouch d,
and which was adhering to the
hide, and inclosed in which was
the strychnine tablet. A closer ex
amination revealed the tact that
every single one of the ten strych
nine fpeliets that had been in
serted had been left similarly.
Every shred of flesh nad been eat
en all around them, and not a sin
gle one touched. No wonder it is a
difficult matter to catch wolves
when they are endowed with a
cunning like this. The explanation
is that on this occasion Mr. War
nock had picked up the pellets be
fore inserting them into the bait
with his fingers instead of, as was
his usual custom, with a pair of
forceps. But the
the kind of foes the ranchershave
to deal with. —MacLeod Gazette.
THE PARROT TOOK A FACETIOUS
VIEW OF THINGS.
The family of a professional
man, living on the East Side, is
the owner of a parrot of such pre
cocity, wit and enterprise, that
there often is some doubt as io
whether the family owns the par
rot or the parrot owns the family.
On Christmas Pay all the mem
bers of the household where this
bird holds forth, with some rela
tives and guests, partook of a late
breakfast and afterwards wont in
to the parlors, where gift* were
dis r.buted, with the usual merri
ment andcha ter. This started the
parrot, and all day long it m ide
more noise than,a sewing society.
T his was amusing at first, but b;-
came monotonous as the hours
passed, and at last, after vain ef
forts r« quiet the bird bv expostu
lation, its master, iuox u from
the cage and cuffed its head se
verely. This had often proved suf
ficient as a means of discipline,
but the master of the house fled in
terror when the parrot, cocking his
bead on one side, exclaimed in
falsetto: “Thank you so much;
that is exactly what I needed. ”

A TALKING D< (. THAT WAS A FORTUNE
F“R His OWNER.
lhere was once a ventriloquist so
poor that he was obliged to t avei
on foot from town to town to save
,x P p nre. much after the manner
01 the gentlenia_ of the Grttnm’s
fules. One day he was joined on
le r °ad by a dog as forsaken as
•‘iinselt but who seemed desirous
becoming his companion.
» They journeyed together to the
11 town, and entered the tavern
tir <-'d, hungry and penniless. Not
J eing troubled with the inconvient
'•‘duement which comes from a
‘ ,,u g line of gentle ancestors, the
man had developed the quality
known as ch<»ek. so he and tin* dog

they could i <»t pay.

“But I want something for mv

muttered something about
“Whatcher giving us,” so the
stranger said. “Wat. don’t von

beef or fish?’’
“Beef, every time.'’ said Bruno,
looking with mild brown eyes a
the waiter.
“And what 'o dr nk?”
“Water, thank yo ■, said Bruno
By this time the landlord and
everyone in the place was eager
with suppressed wonder, and gath

The ventriloquist feigned indif

while the landlord was evidently
considering something. His cogi

A SWIM IN
THE DEAD SEA.
The German traveller, Prof. H.
W. Vogel, describes in Vom Feb
zurn Meer a recent visit to the
Dead Sea and “round about Jor
don,” as 'he Bible calls the neigh
borhood of the holy river where
Jesus Christ was baptized by John.
The Professor and his party carried
the latest scientific apparatus, and
Herr Vogel’s forthcoming book on
Palestine will throw new light un
o.. many interesting things in the
land where the Savior lived and
preached.
The railroad leading to Jerusa
lem has no branch to the Dead Sea
and the travellers rode for ten
hours op horseback before they
heard the r<»ar of the waves of this
largest inland lake, which is popu
larly supposed to lie silent and
calm. “Surveying the country
from the top of Meunt Olives,’’
says Prof. Vogel, ‘I judged the
d'stance from Jerusalem to the
Dead Sea to be not more I.an three
hours’ ride, hnt soon discovered
my error after travelling through
the barren and stony landscape.
‘ Very frequently we had to dis
mount for fear of breaking ou'
necks in elimbing the precipices or
descending into the Wahis Valley
After about four hours’ ride w<
came to a great u hit c mosque, erect
ed over the g-ave of Moses, so we
were told. The Moslems seemingly
never heard of the passage in Holy
Scriptures which says ‘and no one
has found bis grave up to this day.'
They have a grave of Adam, too.
in one of the Jerusalem churches.
After dismounting for luncheon at
the mosque we discovered another
party of tourists, the ‘Society of
Hotel Employees Cairo,’ twelve in
number. Their leader informed us
’hat the Dead Sea was but a few
miles away, but the observation
proved as much of an optical de
lusion as my own was on Mount
Olives. We had yet to climb many
a height and had to traverse many
a stony valley before we teached
its neighborhood.
“When we were about half a
mile from the Dead See we heard
the terrible roar of the breakers,
and fivennnutes later we saw the
white, teaming surf. About ten
feet from the strand the water was
calm and of bluish color. A fresh,
refreshing wind blew over the
lake and into our faces, and we
had a hearty laugh 'over the sto
ries-that say a whiff from the Dead
Sea is poisonous. Poisonous in
deed, and that no bird dared
cross i< ! I saw hundreds flving
about in the best of spirits.
“Another superstition is 'hat it
would be suicidal to bathe in the
Dead Sea - None ot us could swim,'
but that mattered little, as the
densi'y of the water is so great
that the human body will not
sink in it. Before we reached deep
THE HUSTLEROF ROMESUNDAY DECEMBERS 189
water, however, we bad becoim
very much •▼hnusted by our bat
tl* with the tremendous surf.
“Riding further North, we came
tn the ford of 'he Jordan whereot r
Saviour was baptized by John.
I hen cometh Jesus from Gala
lee to Jordan unto John to be
baptized by him.
‘But John forbade him, say*
ing: “I have need to be baptized
by thee, and comest thou to me?”
And Jesus answering, said un
to him ; “Suffer it to be so now ;
for thus it becometh us to fulfil
•ill righteousness.” Then he suffer
ed him.
“ ‘And Jesus, when he was bap
ized, went up straightway out of
the watir.’
“ The description of the neigh
borhood in the Mathew, and
holds good to this day ; the river
views at this point through a mud
dy flat, and we found the ford pas
’able, as it was in the period when
our Lord was baptized there.
“At this famous historical point
we were surprised to find a Ger
man saloon-keeper, who welcomed
us in effusive style. He lived in a
*ort of barn constructed of rafters
and dried mud. And there was a
beei garden, too, with arbors offer
ing protection against the hot sun,
rough tables and benches. The
proprietor proved to be a native
of the Prussian town of Gnesen ;
his name was Mayer. He sold beer
or sum kind of stuff masquerad
ing under that name, and native
wines, the latter being quite good.
‘‘The photograph we took of the
river gives a faithful picture of
the neighborhood, but the camera
missed a sign pole near the of
the water with the legend “Boats to
Let.’ Mayer had half a dozen of
them, beautifully painted,and ask
two francs per hour for their use.
We bad a good meal and 'est in
his inn, and in the morning de
parted for Jericho, after filling our
bottles with Jordon.water for bap
tismals at home.

felt they must have reached Sibe

THE STORY OF
THE SONG.
“There’s a Light in the Widow Fir
Thee.’’
Judge W D. Webb of tJ e Atah
ison County District Court, relate
a romantic story about the Rev.
Edward Dunbar, who became fa
mous as the author of “There’s >
Light in the Window for The'
Brother,’’ in which several promi
nent people play a part.
In 1867 Dunbar was arrested at
Leavenworth, Kas ~ while engaged
in holding a series of revival meet
ings, and taken to Minnespoli-
Minn., where be was tried for oig
amy, convicted and sent to the
penitentiary for three years am!
eight months. The complaining
witness was Miss Eunice Belle
Lewis, a handsome and accom
plished young heiress of Minneap
olis. who had become converted at
one of Dunbar’s revivals in that
city. She fell in love with t s e
evangelist and married him against
the w ishes of her friends. Shortly
after the wedding Dunbar left for
a preaching tour through Kansas.
“It was then that the friends of
the bride, who had mistrusted th
evangelist all along, decided to
act,” said Judge Webb, in telling
the story. “Atthat time I was a
partner of Judge Austin H. Young
of Minneapolis. A delegation of
tha gin’s friends laid their suspi
cions before us, and we took up
the case . The result was that we
soon found evidence sufficient to
warrant an arrest, and Dunbar’s
ministeiial career was brought to
a sudden close.
“‘lt developed iu the trial of the
case that Dunbar lived at New
Bedford, Mags., when a boy and
worked in a factory. His mother
lived at the foot of the street on
which the factory was located, and
as the lad’s work kept him away
till afteu dark, she always placed
a light in the window to guide hit
footsteps homeward. One day thp
boy took a notion to go to sea, and
ofl he went ■ n a throe years’ cruise.
During his absence bis mother fell
ill and was at death's door. Sin
talked incessantly about her boy
and every nigl.t asked those around
her to place a light in the window,
in anticipation of his return. When
she realized that 'he end had come
she said : ‘Tell Edward that 1 wil
set a light in the window of h»*a\
en for him Thoso were her last
words.
‘“The lad had grown to man
hood ere he returned home, and
his mother’s dying message had
such an effect on him that he re
formed and became a preacher
In the course of his reformation
be wrote, ‘There’s a Light in the
Window for Thee, Brother.’
“The Rev. EdWar Dunbard mar
ried a young woman of New Bed
ford, and several children were the
Jesuit of tha union. The young
divine soon made v reputation as
a brilliant pulpit orator, and th<
public was, therefore, greatly sur
prised when one morning ha skip
ped the country, leaving his wifi
and children behind. He swooped
down upon the city of Minneapolis
and and began to show the people
the error of their ways. A great
revival followed, and hundreds
were converted. Miss Lewis wa.
one of '.he number.
“Judge Young and I aisisted in
the prosecution of Dunbar. After
the incarceration of the fallen
evangelist,Judge Young obtained
a divorc° for Mrs. Dunbar and a
year later married her himself
They now live happily together at
M inneapolis.
“Judge Lochren, the present I
Commissioner of Pensions, defend
ed Dunbar in the trial of the case.
“Dunbor went from a prison
cell to be a tramp and a vagabond
upon the face of the earth. His
first wif-i obtained a divorce and
is still r-sidein with her children
it New Bedford. Dunbar was a
l>o<>k agent, or something of that
sort, at Denver in 1875. I have
not heard of him since.”
