I THIEVES. 1
Old Farmer Smiste lived near one of
the mny quiet towns on Long Island
and was looked upon as a well to do,
honest, industrious old covey. The oaly
trouble he had was this: The negroes
who lived in the neighborhood found it
to much easier to raise his chickens than
it was to raise their own that he found
it exceedingly difficult to count his chick
ens even after they were hatched.
The old man and his wife had given
this, subject much thought. They had
endeavored to conquer their iable neigh
bors with kinduess, to frighten them col
lectively, so as to be &uie of touching
the right one, but all to no purpose. The
chickens would disappear. They could
not get a chance to lay for him !ecause
the negroes were continually laying for
them.
At length the old man resolved, like
the old man in the fable, to throw grass
no longer. His house and his hencoop
were his castle, and he resolved to de
fend it against thieves and aggressors.
This he had been repeatedly urged to
do by his wife and maiden sister-in-law,
a very belligerent female. But, being of
a mild and forgiving nature, he had thus
far hesitated about taking any san
guinary steps to rout these fowl pro
ceedings. But now his revolutionary
blood was up.
So one morning he went iuto the attic
and brought down an old musket that
had not been loaded in 20 years, and,
placing it behind the door, he told bis
wife and sister that he had made up his
mind to shoot the first thief he caught
molesting his hencoop.
But they sneered at the old man and
told him that he hadn't the courage to
load the old musket, let alone file it at
any one. This rather touched his piide,
and be secretly resolved to show them
that he-meant business. So he went un
beknown to them and loaded up the old
piece, but his heart relented after he had
got the powder in. and lie mentally re
solved to give the ebony thieves a chance
for lepeutante by putting in a charge of
dried peas instead of shot.
Thus compromising with his heart, he
placed the old gun back again behind the
door until circumstances called for its
ue. After the old man had gone to the
6e!d to work his wife took it into her
head to load the old munket, and, if her
husband failed when the time came, she
resolved to train it herself upon the ras
cals and let slip a charge of lead conster
nation for the benefit of the thieves.
So she put in a good charge of powder
and about a handful of large shot and
rammed them well down and then stood
the old relic up again behind the entry
door. She would just show her tender
hearted husband how to deal with such
rascals.
After awhile the sister-in-law, Sofanis
br, began to revolve the matter in her
mind, and as she had lost several hens
of her own that she prized very highly
she at last got her mad a-going and re
solved to load the gun, so that her brother-in-law
could have no excuse should
the thieves again make a raid upon their
domestic outposts.
Sofauisby was a woman of iron nerve.
She bad never had a husband to ill use,
and consequently she was chuck full of
the milk of human weakness and re
solved on setting happy by killine an
African. So she stole softly out into the
entry, and, taking the old musket up
stairs, she proceeded to load it heavily
with powder and Bhot, after which she
primed and placed it back again behind
the door.
That very night, after all saveMhe old
fatmer were asleep, there was trouble.
He raised his head and heard the hens
grumbling about something. Here, then,
was a chance to vindicate his spirits;
here was a chance to show his family
what he could du. Stealing cautiously
out of bed, he proceeded down stairs and
seized his (t)rusty old musket.
Going into the kitchen, he cautiously
raUed a window that looked toward the
coop, wheie the ueus weie still complain
ing about the way something was being
done to them, and. running the barrel
out, he trained it in the direction of the
hen orchard. It was as dark as down
cellar, but he knew by the muttering
which way to point bis machinery of de
struction, so he pointed it and pullei
back the hammer.
Then he bohitnted and wondered what
would come of it; but, remembering how
his wife would most likely ridicule him
if he faltered now, he resolved to stir
tlit-m up with a pea or two, and so, shut
ting his eyes close together, he blazed
away.
The nest instant the old man went
rocketing thrc igh a china closet, over
the stove and in among the milk pans
and finally took a flying leap backward
through a window on the opposite hide
of the kitchen, where he lost his identity
for a few moments;
In the meantime some of those peas
and shot had penetrated the bides of the
thieves, and they retired alarmed and
disgusted, while his wife and sister-in-law,
beiug thus rudely awakened, began
to scream fire and murder just as much
as their lungs would admit of. Finally

they procured a light and went to took
for the head of the family and find out
whether there was an earthquake going
on or not.
Sofanisby, in her nervousness and anx
iety, tumbled down stairs, and that scar
ed the dame so badly that she ran back
to her bedroom again, and it was quite
awhile before tbey ventured in quest of
Smiste, who by this time was just com
ing to his senses again.
"I say, Xancy," said he as he hobbled
back into the house. "I fired it, but it
was w dark that 1 didn't know that 1
pointed the wrong end at 'em."
He would hardly be convinced that he
had not fired the musket wrong end first
until Dr. Smith showed him about a
pint of peas and shot that he had picked
from a couple of black patients, but he
hasn t lost a chicken since. New York

A ARM RECEPTION.
Be Arrived Rome Too Soon nnd Did
Sot Make a Good XuiiireMHion,
This resident of Alfred street came
honii' at the end of one week instead of
three, as be intended when he started
on his busine-"? trip. He had his valise
in his hand and ran the doorbell with
a vim.
"Pity you couldn't bring a gong with
you," snapped the sour faced maid
who answered the call. "What's the
sense of makln Mich a racket? We
don't want anything today." And she
flammed the door in a way that show
ed feke didn't mind noise If he made it.
"Open that door!" shouted the angry
owner.
"Go on. now. We don't buy uothiu of
peddlers, we don't. I has my order.
Quit Uickin that door, or I'll telephone
for the police Don't you think you
kin skeer me. Git a chase on your
self." "Let me in at once. I'm the proprie
tor of this place, the husband of your
mistress."
"That's a likely story, sich a lookin
ole frump an you are. Make yourself
scarce now fur a baldheaded ole
fraud."
He was ten times madder, because
he is 15 years older than his pretty
wife, and jumped up and down on the
veranda while he shouted, waved his
valise and vowed all kinds of venge
ance. Before he was placid enough to see
straight the virago was upon him with
a flatiron, and there was nothing for
him but ignominious flight. He was
just well under way when his wife ap
peared from down town and called a
halt. Of course he sailed into her for
having such a girl, gave the maid live
minutes' notice, went through the
house like a storm and could ouly
smile the sickliest smile when he saw
the new servant scudding through the
back gate. Detroit Free Press.

his b.ijonet a magnet Cor dancing sparks

out above him in the breeze, a brilliant
bfjnate of beauty.
The old Cuban was silent. lie was not
looking at the American flag. His eyes,
baw nothing, but the virion of his eoul
was busy.
Thi. shabby, quiet man, with shapeless
panama hat, knotted red neckcloth and
bulging cotton nuiluella, was familiar to
the American colon; . He was one of the
disuial, out ut elbow thousands- of Cuba,
aud lint a few year ago had been a

"Alone there for 60 days''"
"H'm," he said, with a grim eniff.
"Xot alone. There were 20 of us in that
hole, and some had fever, and two went

"Were you active among the insur
gents?" "Oh, yes; though not a soldier. But I
was a man to fear. It was known I had

the rest while they slept. We took turns
that way. What I tell you is true.
"Three times I was sentenced to death.
Once I was really led out to be shot in
the moat down there. But they were
afraid. Before they could carry out the
sentence the third time the protocol was
siimed. They dared not kill me. Mean
while my people did not know where I
was.
"It was uot enough that San Severino
held mediaeval horrors of which the peo
ple knew unjust trial, torture, execn
tinu in hulk, where each man was a
numbered Cuban without n uume, just a
receptacle for a Spanish bullet hut se
cret murders by the score took place
within thoe walls. Some of these sons
and husbands who had 'disappeared'
were seen aaiu when their garrotted
bodies, not sufficiently weighted, rose to
the surface of the bay aud drifted to the
beach. What I tell you is true."
We went down to the cells.
"This was mine," said the old Cuban,
sniffing delisbtfully the aroma of white
wash and eying the cleau pallet: "ah,
the difference!'"
A youus lieutenant approached with
a larfte piece of white pasteboard. It
was covered with black penciled
squares.
"Have you seen this? I got it in one
ot the cells when we first came. Some
poor devil's chessboard. Wonder what
he played with:"
"I know," said 'the old Cuban; "dirt
rolled into lumps."
"We have another souvenir ot two
interesting prisoners." And the youug
lieutenant led the way.
"Two newspaper correspondents were
kept here out of harm's way. They
weie not treated like other prisoners
and put into one of the vermin ridden
cells, though these were bad enough
when we came. Look!" And he point
ed to the wall.
There in black crayon were the pro
files of the two Americans cleverly
sketched. It is probable the drawing
will remain there while San Severino ex
ists. We went back and lecrossed the
bridge. Above, in its white arch, hung
the silent fortress bell.
'Ah, that bell! What it said to me
once!" the old man murmured. "It is a
curious feeling." he added, "to say good
by to life and then come back to it."
Our way lay through the passages be
tween the cemented bowlders to the dry
moat. Over this the drawbridge hung,
with massive, useless chain.
"Do you see the level Hue of chipped
stone along thN wall?" said my gnide.
"It is the 'dead line.' Here those sen
tenced to be shot were ranged, blindfold
ed." lie poked with the point of his umbrel
la along the line of loosened mortar, and
it bullet fell out. then another and an
other. "It is full of them." lie 'mid, looking
down on the rusty lumps in his palm,
"and most of them stilled a heart. What
1 tell you is true."
Up one of the paths between the tow
ering walls, pn-t the moat, filed a trio
of American girK in white, with flowers
and big green parswtls. Their laughter
made the moat murium. Following at
a few yards distance came one girl, a
colonel's daughter, and with her a
young cavalry officer. He was leaning
toward her. and she gave him a rose as
they passed out of sight.
"God be thanked! Lovers in San Se
verino! Tbe difference!" murmured the
old Cuban, lifting his hat reverently, and
he said no more. Criterion.

The Saltan's Superstition.
The sultan is the victim of a rather
strange superstition regarding death.
He believes that on a certain day he
will die, and not till then, and that the
manner by which he shall relinquish
his life has already been prepared.
This he feels convinced is by poison.
He has therefore not the slightest fear
of Illness and has often got up and
attended to his work when his state
of health has made it dangerous for
him to be out of bed

It gives the poor working woman an
equal chance with her richer sister and
at exactly the same price.
The servant who uses " Favorite Pre
scription " at a moderate price per bottle
is much more likely to get well than her
mistress who calls in an expensive, local
physician. If she will write plainly to
Dr. R. V. Pierce, at Buffalo, N. Y., her
case will have the attention of a physician
who has cured more women than any one
hundred other doctors and who has a rec
ord of over thirty years' successful prac
tice. Her letter will be considered strict
ly confidential, will be promptly answered
in a plain envelope, so that prying eyes
of others may not get even a hint, and
she will have the benefit of the very best
medical skill without a cent of charge
for it. Thousands of women have
written and been cured. And by this
method they have avoided the "ex
aminations" and "local treatment"
so invariably insisted upon by local
practitioners and so abhorrent to every
modest woman.
