W ANTED TO SEE HIM.
"Soon after the first call for troops wus
iaauud," Haiti Gun. K. B. Gray, at a meet
ing of the G. A. It. pout, "a trminlier of
one of the newly organized rt'Kimonts
which had boon quartered tit WuHhington,
was strolling about the city onn day when
he stumbled into the navy yard. Hih
curloHity wan vory much excited at what
he saw there, he havinp been raised in
an inland town. At last he came across
one of those great anchors that are used
in a man-of-war. One of the flukes was
sticking in the ground, while the other
stuck some 12 or 14 feet in the air, and
the shank extended out to one Hide
about 15 feet. The recruit was very
much interested in this strange pince of
machinery, lie examined it on all sides,
tried to move it, and occasionally stared
all round the yard, as if trying to connect
it with Home other object. After a while
tho vard uflicer cunie around and told
him lie would have to leave the yards.
"'Oh, hut Bosh darn it, I ain't ready
to go yit,' said the recruit.
" 'Can't help it, sir,' replied the officer,
'the yards close at ft o'clock and every
body lias to get out then.
" 'Hut I wan't to Btay here, and I'm not
going out. My name is Peterson, and I
belong to the 70th New York. '
" 'Makes no difference, you must get
out. But what on earth do you want to
hang around here for?'
" 'Why, I've Inien waiting here for an
hour to see the bloody Irishman that
handles this gosli-dumed pick, and I'm
going to stay here till he comes if 1 have
to wait all summer.' "
IT STOPPED THEIR BOOM,
"Having a boom here?" asked a
Btranger as lie put his hoad out of a car
window at a Dakota station.
"Naw !" replied a native.
"That's strunge thought every place
had one this spring."
"They lie, mostly," and the man
sighed and leaned up against the depot.
"Thon why isn't this town having
one?"
"W'y, you Ke, Htranger, it was owin
to a little mismamigeniont. We platted
a big Brighton Beach Boulevard addition
over on the lake j'iuiu' the town, and
you know the hind there is just a little
bit soft like. Well, the first spectator
that come along the boys got too fast and
took him down to it and he started to
walk ofT across tie lots and I'm blamed
if ho didn't Bticn there and we couldn't
git to him to pull him out."
"How long ago did it hapeu?"
"'Bout two weeks."
"He iniiHt he dead, then?"
"Oh, yes, 1 recken he's dead all
eniniL'h, but before he.sunk out o'
rigid
sight
he hollered to other buyers that we took
down and warned them 'limit the place
and somehow capitalists kindi.r got prej
udiced ag'in' our real estate and we haint
havin no boom a-tall. I'm goin' to
move." 1'akota Boll.
A WHACK AT THE COLLEGE.
A college is very often a place where a
young man, if lie studies hard, can, in
two years, learn as much Latin as he can
forget in nix months after he goes to work
for a living. It is a solemn and instruct
ive fact that one of the best Latin and
Greek scholars in Athens, Georgia, is
sodding graBB at seventy cents a day. lie

influential journalist, but he found out
that he could muke more money at his

AN ENTHUSIASTIC AUDIENCE.
A scene not on the lulls took place in
the theater in Las Vegas, New Mexico
one night during Frederick Warde's per
formance of "Richard III." In the woo
ing scene, where Richard gives his sword
to Ladv Anne, several of the cowboys in
the audience shouted "Kill him !" and
"Stick hiiu!" and one cattle man, more
enthusiastic than the others, drew a pis
tol, and, pointing it at the tragedian
said : "Any man who would treat a wo
man like that ought to die!" He was
disarmed, and taken from the theater.

Farmers in this neighborhood have
been damaged in different ways, some by

Matrimonial Traps.
"Truth is stranger than fiction," and
if all the romances of real life were pub
lished with artistic embellishment they
would, doubtless, consign nearly every
novel to the shelf.
Little fragments here and there make
life histories, few only of whichever crop
out to the surface. There are "skeletons
in cloHets," broken households, unknown
graves, and ever so many sad things in
life tli at have their turning point on some
little social pivot invisible to the outer
world.
One of these sad episodss of life has
lately come to light in the case of an old
farmer who knew the ways of his farm,
but was unsophisticated in the ways of
the world.
He owned a comfortable farm up in
Columbia county, New York, and, that
the particulars may be more fully given,
he will be known as Abijah Bronx. His
good old wife had died after their two
daughters had married and moved away ;
so after the old lady's death the place
was lonely indeed. There were good,
sensible women in his neighborhood who
would gladly have married him, and
would have been adapted to farm life,
and any one of whom would make him a
good, suitable wife, but the vain, foolish
old man got the notion in his head that
he would hunt a plump, attractive city
girl for a wife, and not marry any of the
common country girls or widows in his
neighborhood. He resolved to have a
wife that could outshine anybody at
church, and could play the piano and
talk poetry, and be the envy of that
locality; so the foolish old man acted
just like a foolish young boy. He put a
matrimonial advertisement in a New
York literary paper to catch, as he
thought, a cultivated literary girl ; and in
due time a solitary answer arrived,
which the old man read with the deepest
interest. It was a line specimen of pen
manship and a very cleverlv written let
ter, and made the plain, awkward, good
honest country missives, which the old
man had at times received from the wo
men of his neighborhood, appear more
awkward still by comparison.
Two days afterward the old man.
dressed in his best, stood in the streets of
New lork inquiring his Way to No.
Avenue B. To a New-Yorker this would
not have been the most desirable location
to select a wife from, but the old farmer
naturally thought, as B was the second
letter in the alphabet, this location must
be a long ways ahead of Fifth avenue,
and the only sensible thing he did was to
keep his business to himself when he
met the nice young man from the adjoin
ing county, who said, as he warmly
grasped his hand :
"Why, Uncle Abijah, don't you re
member me? Don't you remember '.
used to call vou ' Uncle' when 1 was a
little boy?"
That hit the old gentleman squarely,
for he was popularly called Uncle by
the little folks, and he could actually rec
ognize the young man.
"Why, Tommy, how you have grown,"
said the old man, rejoiced to meet some
one who knew him, and of course they
started off to see the sights, and old Mr.
Bronx postponed his Avenue B visit till
nietit. hen night came he had unlor-
tunately speculated during the day, and
had but fifty cents left. He was too
smart to lose any money in the dives of
New York, but Tommy took him into
Wall street and gave him some points on
Erie, on which the old gentleman put up
all his money as a margin in the hands
of a prominent broker whom Tommy in
troduced in front of the fetock Exchange,
How proud the old man felt to think he
was speculating in Wall street, and how
he would bran to his old neighbors, when
he returned home, of the money he had
made, as tommy had whispered m his
ear that Erie was going out of sight.
The broker had already gone out of sight,
and as they w ere taking lunch together
Tommy looked at the indicator, and, with
a troubled air, remarked that Erie had
stopped going up. Said he:
' I'll run up stairs, Uncle Abijah, and
ask Mr. Hatch it be thinks it best for
you to sell immediately, for you know
that one thousand dollars profit is better
than nothing."
Tommy went up stairs, and Uncle Abi
jah tmiKlied his meal in silence, lie
waited a long time lor lommy. in lact,
Tommy never came back, and the old
man lost faith in him ; he also lost faith
in the broker, who held the margin on
Erie, for he never saw either of them
again.
Thank heaven, he had not lost faith in
his girl, and after supper he took a car
for Avenue fi, and found her waiting for
him in the front parlor, one flight up
stairs.
'Is this Miss Ilattie Kyan?" he in
quired, as he took her hand.
"It is. Are vou Mr. Bronx?"
"Yes."
"I thought," said she, " that yon had
disappointed me. I have waited for vou
all dii'y."
"All, yes, I intended coining this morn
ing, but! was investing some money in
stocks, winch detained me. In lact, 1 in
vested more than I anticipated, so that I
am unfortunately left with but a few pen
nies in my pocket."
"Never mind that," said she, candidly,
"if we make a bargain 111 collect some
rent from the tenants to pay our fare
home: we own the house, vou know.
No, of course he never knew that be
fore ; such a piece of property as that was
worth snapping up at once, and, though
miss Lyon was not so voung or so hand
some as lie anticipated, his empty pocket
bellied to outweigh all objections, and as
sue seemed lavoraoie to an lmmeuiate
marriage, they settled the matter at once
and bv midnight she was Mrs. Abijah
Bronx.
As good as her word, she had the tick
ets ready the next morning lor the trip
to the Bronx farm, and they lelt so
quickly that Uncle Abijah bad barely
time to see her widowed mother and two
srreat overgrown brothers.
In a few days Mrs. Bronx got a letter
from home, and she told Uncle Abijah
that her mother bad offered to deed her
the home place if he would deed the farm
toher. V e most all know what a man
will do during honeymoen, and in less
than a week the larm was deeded to M rs
Bronx.
The remainder of the storv is soon
told ; in two weeks more the Kyan family
moved to the Bronx farm to live on un
cle Abijah. He did not like it, of course,
dut what did his mother-in-law care ; the
farm was her daughter's. Every week
the brothers got on a spree, but they
did not care for "old Bronx," as they
called him, their sister owned the place.
Poor Uncle Abijah never even asked a
word about the New York property, for
he knew that the old rubbish the Kyans
brought with them was all the property
they owned.

About twenty years ago I discovered a little
sore on my cheek, and the doctors pronounced
It cancer. I have tried a number of physicians,
but without receiving any permanent benefit.
Among the number were one or two specialists.
The medicine they applied was like fire to the
sore, causing Intense pain. I saw a statement
in the paper telling what S. S. S. had done for
others similarly afflicted. I procured some at
once, fief ore I had used the second bottle the
neighbors could notice that my cancer was
healing up. My general health had been bad
for two or three years I had a hacking cough
and spit blood continually. I bad a severe
pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of
S. S. S. my cough left me and I grew stouter
than I had been for several years. My cancer
has healed over all but a little spot about the
size of a half dime, and It is rapidly disappear
ing. I would advise every one with cancer to
gives. 8. S. a fair trial.
