THE DALLES WEEKLY CHRONICLE, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1893. KNIGHTS OF THE URN. MM) Mao with Oeulua for iHijllM, t'hlaa ami .It Hug. As a contrast to the masculine pirl ami her swiijjpvr it mitfht Its jK-rtiiu'iit to present the sissy man nnd his affec tations. You m-e this rare exotic in lull bloom at those essentially feminine ceremonies known as five-oVlock teas, where nothing sweetened uml tied up with a bow furnishes the repast, where soft litflit filters through re-hued shades over fair fact's and lesthetioisin revels in daintiness galore. The sissy man has his prototype in l'aris and in London, and one of his chief character istics is his devotion to the married wom en, particularly if she has a monster of a husband that can't understand llrown- iug and had ruther shovel coal than read Kossetti. The sUciy makes it u point to calmly ignore the husband, who would kick him out for his -noer-tiuence only that he knows what u harmless little lamb lie is und thinks it would be needlessly cruel. He knows, according to the New York Sun, more about the code of can dy giving and the etiquette of flowers than he does about the constitution 01 the United States. He has his sweet apartments, where the foot sinks noiselessly into velvet rugs anil the walls ure drapcl with cigh-awnv tints and hung with prt- Kaphaelite etchings. He Rives his dear little teas, where the china is exquisite the appointments elaliorate and beau tiful. He is up on doylies, and knows all alxuit linen and silver, lie per- nuades his married divinity to preside at the urn and gives himself up to the perfect ecstasy of adoring and serving her. A nice old lady who was invited to one of these teas, and went early le- cause she thought the poor fellow wouldn't have enough spoons anil nap kins or think to dust the glassware. and would be terribly upset and tlus- trated, looked on in amazement while the host made delicious cream things in a silver ehatiug dish and apologized for the stupidity of his servant, who gave some one a chocolate spoon with a tea cup. And when he began telling how he had a dinner served for four every uight whether he invited any guests or not. and that there was the saine onler of service and quite as elaborate a menu when he dined quite oloue as when his most honored guests were at the feast, because that was the proper way to train servants and manage a household. the old lady said it positively made her feel profane, like going to an Ingersoll lecture and having the Uible ridiculed, it was so opposed to all Christian cus toms and practices. A REAL KING IN AMERICA. lie I a Ilnlf-rirwd Cimun-h I ml lan and 111 Itulo 1 Absolute. "There is a real king out in the south western part of Indian territory," said a citizen of St. Louis to a Washington Star reporter recently, "and in a recent trip down through the Coninnche and Kiowa countries I met Quanna 1'arker, head chiet of the Comanche. The Comanches are still 'blauket Indians," that is, they are not civilized and edu cated like the Choetaws and they live in tepees. I.ut they are among the sharpest and brightest of Indians. Kvery boy remembers in dime novels that Comanches were the favorite enemies of the brave trappers und hardy pioneers. They were fighters and are the most expert horsemen in the world. Hut they fight no longer, are rapidly becoming civilized, and for their progress and docility Quunna Parker is to be thanked. "1'arker is a half-breed, the son of a chief whose wife was a white captive girl. When but a youth Parker, by his daring and bravery and successful ex ploits against other tribes and tin whites in the Indian wars, rose above the older chiefs and became the leader. Now that the wars are forever over hi. same great will power and strong per sonality impress themselves as strongly upon his tribe, but in the direction of advancement and civilization. He i.- virtually a king. His word L law, his will supreme. Ho say he will civilize his tribe, and he will do it. As one result of his ef forts many of his Indians live in frame houses. He compelled them to save one-half of their money received from the sale of their cattle. With sixty In dians' wagons he went down into Texas, bought lumber, then came on to Washington and persuaded Indian Commissioner Morgan to build the houses. He lives in a fine nine-roomed frame house, handsomely furnished in modern style, I.russeLs carpets, fine up holstered furniture, mural adornments, and decorated nicely. His office, with its desk and fittings, occupies one room, and it is here he transacts his business. He wears a white shirt and trousers with leggings, braided hair, and colors his face when among his people, but when traveling dresses ex pensively in fashionably made clothes and sports a big diamond pin. He has horses without numix;r, two coaches, four buggies and other vehicles. He has six wives to brighten his household, and I never heard of any hair pulling. There is a method in his polygamous madness. Each wife is the daughter of a chief of the six principal divisions or squads of the trilie. Bo he is solid with the whole lot on this score. "Parker is about forty, tall and muscular, with a light copper-colored skin, the Indian facial characteristics with a piercing black eagle eye. He F peaks English well, and is a general favorite with all who know him." As improved electric snow sweeper is constructed to move along the track at any desired rate of speed, and at the name time, with an independent set of motors, drive a net of rotary steel brushes with any amount of power. A rsKFUL application of the electric motor is that of giving easily controlled power to the invalid tricycle chair. A storage battery under the seat supplies, it is claimed, force sufficient for fifty miles, without recharging, at a speed of eight miles an hour.

HOW ONE OLD MAW UVE3. bnM Boa and Itoom Reaping oi lUiaUan ot Waahtnaioav It is wonderful how the tlieortee of our pw Ntm comas back to us now ft the roulitit of tho present. Diuiiul Wofcotor constiuitly truvlo notes of cur rent Unas, and when aakoA how long it was boforo ho used them, replied some time twenty years, sometimes longer, j When I wiw a boy, In Bhulby county, 1 wont ono day to Air. John Cooper's shoe tn.iiier'B sliop to bo measured for pair of shoes, as the custom of tho country then was. lie and his little son Robert lived ulouo in tho woods In a house of one room, which was dwelling and shoo shop. Soon Bob's uncle, Uideon Eaylor, about his ago, came in, and Bob joyfully exclaimed. 'Come, Undo Oid, we've got some potatoes, and there is plenty of salt." It seemed etrangu to mo to see how eagerly they roasted and ate the potatoes and how happy they were. They lived happily, and yet this was all thoir liv ing. I have repeated this story fre quently during my prosperous days as a great wonder, never dreaming that it would become my own reality, as it now is, and I am happy too. A German woman who could not speak a word of Eugliish came into my office one day with one of my German circulars in hex hand, which Mr. Coop had given hex in Saxony. 1 seat her out into tho country with a German mer chant to look at lands, and that day she bought a farm. The next day I made the deeds, and slid became the owner and moved in. A neighbor soon of tor ward told me that it cost that lady nothing to live. He says she puts a tin cup of coffee on tho stove and a tin cup of cornmeol mush, and that is all her liv ing, but she is Retting rich. I thought that very strange, too, never thinking that 1 should live so, but I do just that thing now, having remembered hearing how she lived. When I lost all my money and yet must live, I rented a room 14 by 18 feet, with heat, for $5 per mouth not a very good room and not very well furnished, but comfortable and respectable, and there are plenty of thorn at that price. I bought an outfit as follows: An iron handy lamp, 73 cents; three seam loss pint tin cups, 15 cents; one do. quart, 15 cents; one half gallon tin enp, with cover, 10 ceuta; three bowls, 15 cents; cup and saucer, 10 cents; gallon glass oil can, S5 cents; oil, 15 cents; spoon. 10 cents; total outfit, 2. Then J bonght one month's provisions as fol lows: Ilalf bushel potatoes, 35 centa; ton pounds comnmul, 20 cents; three pound Orahain flour, 15 cento; one pound ground cufleo, 25 cents; eight pounds granulated sugar, 80 cents; one pound lard, 10 cents; coarse salt, 6 cents; total for the month, $1.40. I am a good, hearty eater, and am full fed and live wall, and am thankful for it, bnt I cannot eat all of my month's provision. There is always a considera ble amount over every month, and 1 live well too. In the morning I h;;:l un handy lamp, fill my seanUc pint tin cup with water, put a teanpoonful of ground coffee into It, put it over the lamp, and turn another tin cup. bottom upward, over it for a oover. In ten minutes tliem is a pint cop of gixxl. hot coffee. While the coffee is boiling I put a little water into the half gallon cup, not more than one-eighth full, and then ' fill the quart tin cup about one-fourth j full of cornmeol, add a little salt, then 1 set this cup into the half gallon cup, and j fill up tho quart cup full of water and ; stir up the meal well. Jam in the hau-! die of the quart cup so that it will go into the larger cup. As soon as the oof- fee comes off set the mush on the lamp. Stir it occasionally, and when it thicken and fills up tho cup take it off. 1 buy a loaf of bread for four cents for Sooday, and melt a little lard aud , salt for gravy, and 1 live well and have plenty to eat. Many others in this city, j gaunt and half starved, can live well in , this way. John Howard in W aAiiiuton Pnat Tha Evolution of Ut Sward. As men In early times fought hand to baud, the oldest specimens of the sword are short; in fact, the sword is probably 1 but an erolutioo of the club, which at ' first made of hard wood was gradually sharpened on one and then on both sides, so as to inflict a more deadly wound. Even today we find some savage races employing wooden weapons. Wood gave way to stone, which in turn was displaced by bronze, Iron and finally , steel. The sword increased in length as men ' became mure civilized and showed a dis position to fight farther away from each other, which required more dexterity in the use of the weapon. Some specimens we have of swords of the Middle Ages are almost If not quite as long as the war riors who wielded them. During the Fifteenth century the science of fencing , was invented, when the sword in tha form of rapier reached the highest : point of development. Kate Field's Washington. tJoaakcd Sympathy. I I cannot touch a piece of velvet with j my fingers or permit the furry side of a ! peach skin to touch my lips without ex-! periencing immediately a sort of cold j chill all over my person. It is not so ' Very severe, but it is unpleasant, bull I ! would prefer to living forever under the i ban of such a chill than to be compelled to meet once a day ono of those oleagi nous bundles of insincerity and pretense, the nnctuous and effusive chap who thinks yon are not properly treated and never lusea an opportunity to tell you so. Of course I am aware I am not properly appreciated, but I detest being told of the fact by another person, who never lift a finger in my behalf, and who only wags his tongue in my favor when I am by to see him do It.

A Rolio Showintr tho Oreat Man's Buslnoaa Methods. Tha l-anloboanl 1 by Abraham lan rolu Aftw Ills Itrlurn from Coo-rrtM-Konw t'liurucmrUtle Amiouitcauiauta. The business curd of Abraham Lin coln, reproduced here from the Chicago Inter (Venn, was not an advertisement, but a small glazed card, on which are printed his name, business, address und comments, us reproduced in the fac simile lure presented. The lettering is plain on the curd, and under "To whom it may concern," the letters ore small and humorously set forth the following: A. LINCOLN. Jttornry and ffcttiwcUot M trimaran), ux. n mmom IT aaaawa. i "My old eimtnmcni anil others arc no ili itM aware of tho wrrlMu lime 1 tvive hl In erott in tli Urtam, ami will be i-'lnil to know th:U I will be IswU on tho anit sli'.' trn' "hull I iart-.l ou or 1m tun' M.inh 4 next, wlu-u I will hp reaily to A'mii lltrirt. Huprnt Unc. Uilu Jolt: Split It'iilt, and perform ouT niltor In a $mcll way " The card lielonged to a collection of such curios and a number of autographs in the possession of the late (Jeorge W. HuUer, of Chicago. The authenticity of the card cannot be doubted as Mr. linker treasured It for years among his collection and frequently exhibited it, though he left no written document of how it came into his possession. It is known, however, from what Mr. linker hud said about it, that the curd was one of a lot .Mr. Lincoln hud printed anil used uftcr his return from the congress to which he was eleeteil in lil over Ilev. l'eter Curtwright. Mr. Lincoln was not a candidate for reelection, und the disinclination to be a candidate is well conveyed in his "to whom it may concern" wherein, us well, he expresses his satisfaction at being lit home again with the nope oi securing more congenial work than hail been iiiciimlK-nt uKn him in the dis charge of his duties in congress. The qcuiiitness of the humor and the otldityof the address to the public on the huiinc.os card are cmiueiit'y diameter'.-.; ic of Lincoln's originality. There an-expressions, too. in the "to whom it may com-crn" with which Mr. Lincoln familiarized the country afterward. "Swapping horses"' und "splitting rails," iii'-h were not enough striking in IMS, or the man using them was not enough famous to cause unyoiie to per petrate a joke on him in manufacturing such a business card for A. Liucolu. The work was Lincoln's. The card Is'urs the impress of the man as much . it docs his name. TO CLEAN SPECTACLES. Lot llank lull of Larire ltouomlnatloa, and ll Happy. "It's the greatest idea in the world," said a gut of a St. Ixmis hoUd, rub bing bis glasses with a fifty-dollar bill, according to the (ilolie-Democrat. "Now, I can't see ten f exit without my glasses, and glasses have a tendency to become blurred, you know. "Now, I have worn spectacles con stantly for over twenty-live years, aud I have, in a small way, made a .study of them. A linen handkerchief does not clean them well, and a silk is always sure to leave a thread sticking to the frames. 'Taper is no account, an it leaves specks on the glass. Cotton is sure to leave a lot of lint behind it. Chamois is too thick, and kid don't do at all. I've tried tiiem all, und I know. The thing to use, my boy, is a bank note; it cleans the glasses beautifully and leaves noth ing behind it. "Of course, it isn't necessary to use a fifty every time, but I happened to have this one loose in my pocket and I'm ex pecting a friend along in a minute and I wanted to make an impression. Yes, they say bills carry disease with them, but I ain't afraid much. I've never caught anything from them. You can use a one as well as a fifty, but use a fifty if you can; there's more money in it" pJo Huxmjv.jf -v-nntipu oau moqn joj OJU OIJ UIOJ VMV 1; Vm Oiiqi -jo-ium ifuiitixj ;oimd inoqn ii Hfl.i mrjvid !
