"An elk beats the dickens for mis chief," said an old hunter to a writer for the New York Sun. "One time I was hunting on the Yellowstone river with Uncle Pete MoDouffall and a squaw man named Jackuon, and every kind of grime that you ever saw was found there. Wo shot no end of buf falo, deer and antelope, and thought the list (H)mplete when we struck a band of elk in the open valley. The squaw man said that the only way to kill an elk was to bury yourself in a chimp of bushes and wait for him to come to you. 1 knew better, and so we herded up the frroup and tried to close in on them in a circle. Well, they all got away except one bull, who was cornered until I could get a shot at him. I was flattering myself that it was a great shot when I saw him fall flat on his side and never move a hair. "'You know all about killing elk,' I said, sarcastic like, to the squaw man. " 'You killed him, you skin him,' he said. " 'All right,' said I, 'but you don't got any of the meat.' And with that I out with my knife and walked quickly over to tho dead elk, never noticing where he was hit. I got square over on his neck, and was just reaching with my knife to strike the skin from his head when of all surprises I ever got that was the worst. That bull elk just raised up in the air with me on his neck, and, tossing his head, caught me squarely on his horns. I came down like a piece of lead ore in a thousand foot shaft. I tried to hang on to his horna but he jerked my grip and threw inc high in the air and on the ground, where I lay with the breath knocked out of me and too scared to move and thinking he would trample mo to death iu the sage brush. Finally my friends got in their work. The elk hud so much fun that he did not see them coming, aud Uncle I'eteput a ball in his heart just as the beast was about to jump on me with all four feet. The elk turn bled over on me, and under his crushing weight I fainted. The next I remembered was the smell of smuggled Canadian whisky and the squaw man saying with a laugh: " 'It takes a long time to learn an elk's ways.1 "Like Oen. Orant in the interview, 'I had nothing to say on tho subject.'" CARRIED HIS LUNCH. A Snake That Made a Meal of HI Own Caudal Appendage "Talking about snakes," said the man who hail worked ss a telegraph lineman in Smith America, "you ought to soo the snrpints they have down there. Me and my partner ran across a snake one day; we was working on the line and we thought at first that it was a log. It had just eaten some big critter, for there was a lump in iLs body, and it didn't 6how any mure in terest in us than if we were sticks. We got a big crate that had come to the village near us, full of dishes, and took it and a bottle of chloroform down to his snake-lets. "We knocked him out with the chloroform, and after a good deal of work got hint coiled up in the crate. Then we carried the crate on a wagon to the station with us and took him into camp on the train, lie waked up next day, but the cuss wouldn't eot. He just laid there and sorrowed, and nary a bite would he eveu take out of a lamb we gave him. In niton t two weeks he began to lixk thin, but he still kicked on eating, so we put him and his crate in an outhouse and left him for two weeks more When we weut to look at him again he had changed position aud was now coiled around in such a way that ho oould get his tail iu his mouth, and he had about a foot of It sw allowed, just to keep his stomach braced, I suppose. "We moved just after this, and we took Nero, aa we called him, with ua, carrying the crate with us in a freight cur. The cur was an old one, so we were allowed to run it off on a siding at the station that we made our head quarters, and here we left him while we traveled inland to run a line. It wus a mouth before wo got back, and we both made a break for the car, but gosh darn me, would yon believe me, there wasn t more than a foot of that snake left, lie had swallowed and di gested about nine feet of himself, and he took u4 six luihes more before he died." Miira File Saved Her Life. Mrs. O. J. Wooldridok, of Wortham, Texas, saved the life of lier child by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. "One of my children hart Cronp. Th ease was attended hv our physician, and was supposed to lie well under control. One night I was startled hv the child's hard breathing, and on itoiiig to It found It strati llti(r. It had nearly ceased to hreathe. Realizing that the child's alnrmln" condition bad become possible In spite of the medicines given, I reasoned that such remedies would be of no avail. Having part of a bottle of Avar's Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave the child three doses, at short Intervals, and anxiously waited results. F'om the moment the Pectoral was given, the ehiid's breathing grew easier, and, In a short time, she was sleeping quietly and breathing naturally. The child is alive and well todv. and I do not hesitate to say that Ayer's cherry pec toral saved her life." AYER'S Cherry Pectoral Prepared by Dr. J . C. Avar ft Co., Lowall, Haas. Prompt toact.suretocure Una Criticised an Orchestra and the Other Detected a Tiller. A wonderful story of a French mu sical critic is related by persons who profess to have been acquainted with him, and who have seen him in attend ance on musical performances. lie was a dog, and his name in public was Parade; whether he had a different name at home, was never known At the beginning of the French revolu tion he went every day to the military parade in front of the Tuilleries palace. He marched with flip mneUno i,if ed with them, listened knowingly to their performances, and after the pa rade disappeared, to return promptly JIE SPRANG AT TIIK ROHIlEn S TUROAT. at the parade time the next day. Grad ually the musicians became attached to this devoted listener. They named him Parade, and one or another of them always invited him to dinner. lie ac cepted the invitation, and was a pleaa antguest. It was discovered that after dinner he always attended the theater, where he seated himself calmly in the corner of the orchestra and listened critically to the mudc. If a new piece was played he noticed it instantly and paid the strictest attention. If the piece had fine melodious passages he showed his joy to the best of his dog gish ability; but if the piece was or dinary and uninteresting he yawned, stared about the theater and unmis takably expressed his disapproval. Another very curious story of a canine musical ear is told of a London organ grinder's dog. The organ grinder was blind and aged and the dog used to lead him about. One night, after a hard day's work, the old man and his faithful companion lay down to sleep, with the organ beside them. They slept soundly, and when they awoke the organ was gone. They were in de spair. Their means of earning a liv ing was gone. Hut tho dog led the old man through the streets where he had been accustomed to play, and j persons who had given him alms be-1 fore continued to befriend him, so that the loss of the organ proved not so bad after all. Weeks went by. One day the old man heard a hand organ played a few feet from him. It re minded him of lv" l-vt ("""tniment, but he paid no special attention to it. Hand organs were common in London and he heard them often. Not so the dog. lie showed signs of great excite ment, barked violently and led his master in the direction of the organ. Ho sprang at the robber's tnroat, dragged him away from the 6tolen or gan and led his master eagerly up to it with expressions of recognition and delight. MISS CHICAGO'S BREEZY WAY. Llveutng Things I'p Anion? the Fplrltteaa Uueata at a Hotel. Ono morning as we were having a melancholy breakfast as a prelude to a melancholy day, says a writer in the Washington Post, .Miss Chicago ap peared upon tho scene with bright eyes, red cheeks, ribbons flying and feathers nodding. "Why, how do you do?" cried her cheery young voice, "so glad to see you. Haven't heard a word from you since we grossed on the Victoria to gether. What are you doing here? I have come to console a gouty father; am afraid it will bo awfully stupid, but cotue and bowl with me after break fast and we will talk it over." All this was delivered so rnpidly 1 hod no opportunity to interrupt, "llowl with you, my dear little child'."' I asked. "The alleys have been closed for weeks." "Were closed, you mean," said Miss Chicago. "Now thoy are open, aud I have discovered two little ne groes, whom I'm going to dress In red flannel zouave suits, who wait to do my bidding. We will bowl at ten, have a Turkish bath at twelve, ride at four, play pool before dinner, and dance afterward." And it was even so. Every place of amusement connected with the hotel had been closed. Miss Chicago turned the key which uulocked all the doors, and during the rest of my stay at the hotel we hud the gayest sort of a time. l.verybody was happier be cause of the presence of this bright young western girl. The invalids smiled when she passed them, the servants rushed to do her bidding; the very animuls seemed to know, when she was near. I left her here, but I know there wis weeping and waUlDg when she came to take her departure. DUE TO A BULLFKOU. Bow a Sonorous Croak Awoke an Inventive Qenlua Or. Ctuhmaa IIrd It and Straightway Conatraeted "Talking Boim" Whlah, II Claims, Antedated Pref. Hell's Telephone. Dr. Sylvanus D. Cuahman, of Chicago, laims to have antedated Bell in the dis covery of the telephone. Dr. Cushman, ays the Chicago Tribune, is one of the picturesque characters in the history of S. D. CUSHMAN. telephone litigation. An organization using his Instrument known as the American Cushman Telephone company was enjoined from doing business at the suit of the American Bell Telephone company in 1888. Dr. Cushman has for years claimed to be the original inventor of the tele phone. He is a white-haired man sev enty-four years of age, and for forty five of these has been connected with electrical work of various kinds. The telephone, he says, was a discovery in which a colony of Wisconsin bullfrogs played a prominent part. The story of his claims has been told before in the accounts of the litigations in which he has figured. The other day he retold them before a rough painting which hangs on the wall of his ofilce. It shows a swampy landscape, stretching into the foreground of which is a telegraph line. The wire drops to the ground and en ters a box which contains at one end two iron disks, separated and fitted on their inner surfaces with platinum points, which approach each other, but do not touch. From the disk not con nected with the line wire a wire is run into the ground. Another wire runs from this disk to a horseshoe magnet, about which, supported on wooden up rights, is a piece of iron stretching across the poles of the magnet. The wire which is connected with tho latter from the disk emerges again at the oth er side of the magnet and at that point is fastened to a ground wire. Near the box is a large bullfrog seated on a lit tle knoll. "In 1851 1 was engaged in building a telegraph line out of Racine, Wis.," said the oniiir. "We ran short of poles on reaching the stream shown in the pic ture. I wanted a lightning-arrester and rigged up the device shown in the picture. If the wire were struck by lightning the first ground wire, I be liti'ed, would carry to the-earth most of the current and the second one would provide a --"de for any that .V? fJ aw. ""SiSsiaMai. THE FIRST TELEPHONE. was left. The use of the magnet and the bar over it was to tell me whether the wire had been struck by lightning. The device was inclosed in a glass box and buried under leaves. "In a few days I was informed that a peculiar crackling noise was heard at the other end of the wire at Hacine. I visited the box and heard a slight noise. I adjusted the metal piece over the magnets finer, and immediately heard the croaking of frogs issue from the box. The telephone had whispered its secret. "I began to develop it at once. Boxes were made and placed one above the other and one used for listening and the other for talking. The boxes were known as talking boxes. People used them to order their groceries by, and we carried on conversations over a dis tance of several miles. The volume of sound in the original box was as great as that developed in the modern tel ephone and the latter instrument does not differ in the least from my original discovery. All of its principles are em bodied in the Hell instrument." Dr. Cushman says after the injunction tying up the American Cushman Tele phone company was issued, it was found that the court's edict did not stop the manufacture of the instrument which ho had elaborated out of the glass box which gave out the tidings that sound could be transmitted over a wire. He went south and a telephone exchange was fitted with his Instru ments at a point in Arkansas. "Wo have recently fitted up another exchange iu this stote," said he, "and have besides gone on selling the Instru ments and many are in use.

The soil must possess a double property; it must be light and rich. The richness can be obtained by manures, but the light quality is a purely geographical question.

For several years the violet plants have suffered from a blight that has injured the flowering.
