THE ELK PLAYED POSSUM.
A Sarprlse Awaited the Bnnter Who
Started In to Skin th Beast.
"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."

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."

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.

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

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. A brood
patent is now pending which will pro
tect us." ,
