Schroeder & Schwandt. ~ Peacemaker Instantly Killed. Westchester, Pa, May 4.—Carnilll Rossi, an’ Italian, while trying .to pacify quarreling friends, was shot and instantly killed by Carman Mar- voria at Thorndale, near here. The men were members of a card party and the shooting was the result of a ifellowship. dispute over the game. Squaw as Housckeeper. Tt a squaw in o tepee and she s the neatest of housekeepers. The bian- kets are neatly rolled and stowed away under the ed.c of the tepee, leaving the center clear. DBright colored blankets and fine fur robes are spread about, and a wonderfully beaded dance drum hangs from one of the poles. But put & squaw in a house and she is any- thing but a success. Go into one of these frame houses and you will find the mattresses laid along the floor, with the whole family sprawling there- on, The cracked-cook stove will be in the middle of the floor, with anything but agreeable odors coming therefrom, Outside the bedsteads and springs will be used as chicken roosts. But the gquaw doesn’t let her housekeeping shortcomings worry her. When she puts on an elk tooth robe, valued at anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000, and rides to the falr or to the agency on a Sunday astride a beaded saddle she is a picture of contentment.—Denver Re- publican. Old Grog. The inventor of grog, the long time beverage of the sea and of salt water literature, was Admiral Vernon, of whose courageous deeds at Porto Bello a lively poet has sung: Which when they came to understand he was so brave a fellow, They did surrender, out of hand, the town of Porto Bello. “Qld Grog” was Vernon’s pet name in the navy of his day, and it was thus bestowed: “Out on the Spanish main Vernon found that the result of glving each man in the ship’s company half a pint of rum a day to drink neat was digastrous. His captains and surgeons suggested to him the revolutionary ex- periment of mixing the spirit with wa- ter. In a station order Vernon re- quired this to be done. The new liquor was not favorably received, and the seamen cast about for an opprobrious name for it and its author. Now, Ver- non used to wear a grogram boat cloak; hence ‘Old Grog." " The Crooked House. On the estate of Earl Dudley, at Himley Staffs, there is a curious hali- tation known as “the crooked house.” It is altogether out of the perpendicu- lar and slants toward the south end, ‘which is heavily shored up with thick red brick buttresses. These peculiari- tles are the result of mining opera- tions, the under stratum of the earth in these parts being completely honey- combed. The clocks on the walls, al- though absolutely perpendicular, as thelr pendulums testify, appear to be hanging sideways at a pronounced an- gle. A short glass shelf, one end of which appears to be a foot higher than the other, proves to be absolutely level, while in the taproom is a table which is apparently slanting, but on which if round marbles are placed at the seem- ingly lower end they roll to all appear- ance uphill to the top of the table and fall over with a bump.—London Stand- ard. Why He Brought His Along. ‘Whenever the penurious manager of the large store wanted to sharpen his pencil he would enter the shipping de- partment and borrow a knife from one of the boys. Sometimes the boys did not have their knives with them, but there was one lad, Tommy Breen, who always could be depended upon. “How is it, Tommy,” asked the man- | & ager one day as he whittled 'his pencil, “that you always have your knife with you and the other boys haven’t?”’ Tommy hesitated for a moment, then, gathering courage, said: “The wages I get aren’t enough for me to afford more than one pair of pants.”’—Harper’'s Weekly. ., Part of the Horse. A rich rancher told a story about g little slum urchin whom he had sent on a month’s vacation into the country. “The lad,” he said, “thought we got mush from the mushroom and milk from the. milkweed. One morning a lady pointed to a horse in a fleld and sald, ‘Look at the horse, Johnny. ‘That's a cow,’ the boy contradicted. ‘No,’ sald the lady, ‘it's a horse. ‘'Tain’t, It's a cow,’ sald the boy. ‘Horses has wagons to 'em.’ ”—Kansas Clty Times. A Conundrum, . “Why is a clock like a valn, pretty young lady ?” “I fail to see any resemblance. Why?” “Because it is all face and figure, has no liead to speak of, is hard to stop when once it is wound up and has a striking way of calling attention to it- self every hour in the day.”—Baltimore American. Painless Cancer. There is a prevailing opinion that cancer is always painful from the be- ginning, whereas it Is really painless in the majorlty of cases. It is desirable to ascertain how far the public ought to be Instructed In the early signs of cancer, with a view to the adoption of earller dlagnosis and consequently ear- lier operation.—London Hospital.

Y “Is he parsimonious?’ “Well,” was the guarded reply, “you might say that he carries his money in a purse that shuts a good deal easier than it opens.” Just As His Patients Do, Client (meeting his doctor and wants a free opinlon)—Doctor, when you have a bad cold, what do you do? Doctor— [ blow my nose and cough. Insulting. “I'm not going to that female barber || shop again. There's a rude girl there, don’t you know.” “What dld she say?” “Why, she looked at my mustawsh and awsked me if T would have it sponged off or rubbed In.” Tasser’s Phrases, Thomas Tasser, a writer of the six- teenth century, said: “It's an {1l wind turns no good,” “Better late than never,” “Look ere you leap” and “The stone that is rolling can gather no moss.” Faith In the Glergy. The highlanders’ faith in the clergy | has always been peculiarly profound..! This characteristic is fllustrated, ! though in rather an exaggerated way, | by the story of two old women going along the road after service who were | heard to discuss the sermon as fol- lows: i Peggy—AD, and did you hear that most precious word, Kirsty—a most precious word? Kirsty—No. that? Peggy—Oh, a most preclous word, | and it's myself that will not forget it, the precious word Nebuchadnezzar, i Kirstr—ON, yes. But did you hear that other most beautiful word? My- self never heard it said before, the beautiful word Be]{hflzzflr.—(}nledo- nian, And what word was No Dishes to Wash. Happy Madagascarians! They have no dishes to wash in thelr housekeep- Ing. The large, fibrous leaves of what is called “the travelers’ tree,” because its stalks on being pierced yield a clear watery sap which makes a re- freshing drink, cut into rectangular pleces, serve them for plates, platters, cups and spoons. The rice or other: food which constitutes a meal is piled on one of these leaves, A natlve takes a plece of leaf in each hand, rolled up like a cornet, and with one dipg a por- tion of the rice from one platter into another and on it conveys the food to the mouth. That Is all there is of it— no changing of plates, no bother about | clearing tables. A Sheep's Legs. | A nebleman against whom insanity | ‘was Imputed by his relatives was ask- ed during the examination by Lord Loughborough, “How many legs has a sheep ?” “Does yopr lordship mean a live or a dead shzep?” :?;ed the nobleman, * “Is It not the same thing?” said the chaneellor. “No, my lord; there is nfuch differ- ence. A live sheep has four legs, a dead sheep but two. The others are shoulders.” i His Interference. Cittiman—Look here, sir, didn’t you ‘warrant the horse you sold me yester- day to be without fault? David Haram Yes. Aia't he? Cittiman—No, sir, he is not. He interferes. David Harum— ‘Waal, I don't see as you hev any rea- son fur complainin’ about that, He don’t interfere with anybody but him- self, does he?—Lippincott’s. Racing Dope. ! “Charles, dear,” said young Mrs, Tor- kins, “why do you call racing calcula- tlons ‘dope? I thought that was &, slang name for a drug.” ‘“You're quite right,” was the answer. “They call it that because all it gen- erally gets you s a pleasant dream and a rude awakening.”—Washington Star.

Captain Amundsen, having lost sev- eral dogs in his expedition to the are- tic regions, told some of the Netchillie tribe that he would purchase one from them. The suggestion caused conster- nation and was promptly refused. An expianaton was demanded. The man applied to returned next day with a chubby, laughing boy on his back. “Such we do not sell,” he said. Amund- Sen was astonished. “You wished to purchase one,” said the man, seeing Amundsen’s perplexity. Finally it was discovered {hat the Greenlandic term for “dog” was equivalent to “child” in the Netchillie language. — R SoTprIser A cook at a cheap boarding house played a little game on a grumbling boarder by serving him with a piece of sole leather instead of beefsteak. “Youw've changed your butcher, Mrs. Hascher?” said the boarder, looking up at the landlady after sawing two or three minutes at the leather. “Same butcher as usual,” replied the ‘boarding mistress, with a patronizing smile. “Why?” “Oh, nothing much,” said the board- er, trying to make an impression on the steak with his knife and fork, “only this piece of meat is the tender- est I have had in this house for some weeks.”—-Strand Macazina something palatable. of goodsof the very best. “And What Else” A great many dspend on their grocer for the latest in vegetables, fruits, and other table delicacies. \ We.take interest in our family trade and provide for you the best and latest that can be had in the market.
