ROUSED THE AUDIENCE.
A Mining Camp Mplndrnma With an
Inexpppfed Cllinnx.
Joseph Jefferson used to sny that his
career mbip very near being nipped in
the bud In a email western town. He
/it that time was a member of a small
pioneer company which progressed by
menus nf three "bull tenms" from one
mining camp to another. They were
elwnys heartily received by the min?
ers end cowboys, who readily paid the
?3 In gold rpipiirort to witness their
performance. Mr. Jefferson was the
traditional melodramatic villain nnd In
the third net was supposed to kidnap
"the child." The supposed mother,
hearing its cries, rushes upon the scene
jnsi as be Is about to esenpe and tires
n fruitless shot from a revolver.
T-'pon this particular occasion all lind
gone well until this scene was reached,
nnd the audience, many of whom had
never liefere seen any kind of theatric?
al pnrformrinee. snt as If spellbound,
At tiie ernck of the mother's revolver,
however, the spell was rudely broken. 1
I "By heaven, she missed him!" n red
! shifted miner in the front row shout?
ed, drawing his own six shooter and
I leaning to bis fept. "Round to the
_ bi'.ck door and head him off 'fore be
ran git a boss, boys!" he yelled, nnd.
following him. hnlf the audience stam?
peded for the exit.
The excitement was finally allayed
by the "mother" and the villain np
penrinK hand in band before the cur?
tain and the manager's explanation of
the situation. When the performance
had been concluded the nuclicnce insist?
ed on paying another admission price
and having an immediate repetition

. "May I ask if I am in the market for
a bid for your affections?" R6kecl the

"Yon must go to par before I can
take any stock in your offer." answered
the dutiful broker's daughter.

Nervous Trouble*.
He wns nn honest ilentist; and uo one
could have accused him of tinkering
with u sound luolftr unless it actually
needed attention. When the handsome
ly gowned woman patient came to
bim ami complained that her teeth were
potting loose and she was afraid she
would lose them he gave her some good
ndrico and charged her nothing, al-J
thov.gh It was worth ti good stilT fee. |
"There la nothing in the world the,
matter with your teeth," he said. "Each
one is as sound as a new dollar. Hut
you should consult a nerve specialist. I
Evidently you have been worrying u
grent den I lately."
The woman confessed that she had. j
Her sister had beeil very III, and she
bail been compelled to help nurse her |
"Quit It unless you wish to lose your
teeth," commanded the dentist. "Also'
you should put yourself under Hie care I
of n physician. In some nervous dis-'
eases the outward symptom Is n shrink?
ing of the gums. This is not nu un?
fa lllng sign, however. Some persons
lose their teeth through a shriveling of |
the gums on account of an excess of
uric Held In the system, if they drauk
plenty of water the trouble would dis?
appear. I have had several patients!
whom I have cured simply by getting
than to drink plenty of water.
"The gums nie pretty good Indicators'
of the general health. Persons whose ;
guns bleed frequently think there Is
something the matter with their teeth.'
Tbc trouble is constitutional instead of i
locn.l. A good tonic would put them on
their feet, and this, nccOmpniiled by
plenty of exercise In the open air, would
stop the bleeding of the gums."?New]

BLACK GOVERNORS.
& Ccrlons Fieeo nf Old Time Connect?
icut History-.
A book little known even to collect?
ors of Americana is a volume cutitled
"Hartford In the Olden Time: Its First
Thirty Years;" by Senevn. which was
edited by W. M. B. Hartley and pub?
lish; 1 at Hartford in 1S.13. There is a
chapter in this book entitled "The
lii&Ck Governors of Connecticut," the
very title of which will excite the sur?
prise of most intelligent people even In
Connecticut, who have never heard of
nuy block governors in the Nutmeg
tftnto except the governors of nn oppo?
site political faith, who were, of course,
politically black. The title. However, is
explained and .instilled by a little ex?
planation. Before the Revolution and
ddwti id a period as late as 1S".1? it was
the custom for the negroes living in
the rtale to bold an election on the Sat?
urday succeeding the regular election
day, chousing one of their number as
governor. Sometimes, however, no
election was held, the retiring governor
assigning his office to nrfnther. The
man chosen in either case was usually
"of imposing presence, strength. Drill
iiess and volubility, quick to decide,
reary to commune! and quick to flog." ,
He appointed n staff of military and
judicial officers, who executed Iiis or?
dern in ajl matters pertaining to col- ,
oreO people, especially questions per
liiintng to morals, manners and cere
monies.
The fact that he bad no legal status
in the province or state did not at all
trouble him or his subjects, ami he ap?
pears to have exercised n very real
[tower, nearly always on the side of
morality und justice. The justices of
the peace appointed by these black
governors were, as a rule, extremely |
severe in punishing people of their
owu color who transgressed the law. |
So generally was this recognized by i
the whites in colonial times that when
a slate committed some offense it was
the custom to turn him over to the
black justice for punishment. Such a
culprit always fared much worse than
if be bad been tried by. the rcgKlar
courts.
Among th? morn notable colored men
who hold the office of governor were:
Qilhw, a negro belonging to Colonel
George Wyllys; Peleg Nott. who be?
longed to Colonel .lereminh Wads
worth; Boston, belonging to Mr. Nich?
olas; .lohn Anderson and Cuff, who
held the office for ten years. After the
abolition of slavery In Connecticut the
custom fell Into disuse.

HOW THE TIGER KILLS.
?i?>r?r rai'fj 111* I'rej-, l?n< Altnclr? It .
?Mi Ilm Plunk.
I have taken considerable trouble to
find out how tigers kill large game.
Some t'tne ago I was asked to come
and see a lull grown bullock that had
been killed by n tiger. On examining
It I found the animal bad its neck
brokou, and there were claw marks
mi the nose and shoulder, bill uowhere
rise. There wns no doubt that the
tiger had jumped nt the bull and laud?
ed on the shoulder, nnd wheu the bull
turned his bend (o gore the tiger he
must have put his clnw out nnd with
n sudden jerk broken the nock.
On nnothcr occasion 1 went lo see a
young buffalo which had been killed by
a tiger and found tho same thing bad
happened. There were similar marks
on tho nose and also on the near shoul?
der, which clearly Indicated- that this
animal bad been killed In the same
way. Malays who have actually soon
a tiger killing a buffalo told me I hey
saw the same thing happen; also that
in dragging off a heavy carcass* such
as buffalo or bull, he gets most of tho
weight across Iii? shoulder.
This must be fairly correct, as I
have often followed a kill, nnd the i
marks left Indicate that only n portion
of the nniuinl was trailing along the
ground. 1 have known a full grown
bull, which ten men could not move,
('ragged for two miles by a timer In a
heavy jungle, whore roots of trees and
swamp had lo be cone through. In no
case have I seen tho pug marks facing j
Ihe wrong way except when stopping
lo feed; which proves bo must carry n
portion of the animal over his Shoul?
der.
The old idea of n tiger killing largo
game by a blow from his paw is non
r."iise: besides, In India a tiger never
faces bis prey, but aitacks him oil tho
(lank unless charged. Another curious
fact that tna.v seem very like a fairy
tale is that a tiger does not seem to
mind a small lamp being tied over n
kill about Ion feet high, but will come
and feed. I have known three occa?
sions when this bis been tried, and
each time a tiger has come to feed
upon the careas?.- London Field.
