commander ever sent against the hostile

the memory of the thrashing he gave
them is yet a wholesome and restraining
influence.
After the Custer massacre, General
Miles was left by Gena. Crook and Terry
to watch Sitting Bull, but, instead of
watching him, he went after the bloody
chief, and although the snow was two
feet deep, be crushed the wily savage.
For this campaign in the snow the Sioux

Needed cash.
Archduke Joseph, of Austria, is in
financial difficulties, the result of un-
fortunate speculations in real estate, in—
dustrial concerns and stocks, of the most
extensive and disastrous character. The ‘
matter is all the more serious inasmuch
as he has always been regarded as a sort
of man of business of the imperial house
and the principal administrator of the
vast fortune of the Hapsburg family.
How grave are the difficulties in which he
has become, involved may be estimated
from his having secured the Emperor's
permission toull that beautiful Margaret
laud lying midway between Buds and
Pquth, and which has frequently been
described as “the pearl of the Danube.”
Indeed, it is impossible to imagine any-
thing more lovely than this island, which
owes its name to a royal nun, the daugh-
ter of the Magyar King Bela IV., who
lived in the thirteenth century. The con-
vent which once stood there was de-
stroyed by the Turks, its ruins being
swept away by the great inundation of
1715 and 1888, and it remained for Arch-
duke Joseph to purchase the island to
provide it with a system of stately quays
and to transform it into one picturesque
garden, or park, the mass of almost, tropi'
cal vegetation being dotted here and
there with. charming villas, hotels, a
casino and a number of bathing cstab
llshments, there being mineral springs
possessing remarkable curative powers in
the island.
It is only about ‘a mile in length, but
has a tramway running from one end to
the other, giving easy communication
between the several hotels, while it is
connected with both shores by ferries.
The Archduke wants 5,000,000 llorins for
it, although he must have spent an in-
finitely larger sum than that in creating
this, the pet scheme of his existcuce and
with which his name will always be asso-
ciated.
Everybody is sorry for the Archduke,
for, in the first place he is probably next
to the Emperor, the most popular member
of his house, and then everybody knows
how helooked upon Margaret island as
the very apple of his eye.
STORY OF A $20 Rona.
It Was Bad But an Honest Sailor Sent it
for Redemption.
Not long ago a 820 note was sent to the
United States Treasury for redemption.
Accompanying it. was an afilduvit saying
that the owner put it in a cigar box
where mice had got at it and nibblcd it.
'i‘henotc was a counterfcit. Not only
that, but it had been through the Treas-
ury here at some previous limo. and had
been stamped with the word “bad" in
letters cutout ofthe palll'l'. llut the al-
lcged mice had almost. oblitcratcd the
letters by nibbling around tin-in. It was
a queer way for mice to behave, tosay
the least of it. A detective of tin.- scrvicc
was sent to look the mattcr up. llein<
vestigatcd the case fully and rcportcd
that it was all rlght~<in short. that the
note had been submitted for rcllclnplion
in good faith.
The owllcr, it appears. was an old Ger-
man sailor. of rcspcctablc character.
Nevertln-lcss. hc would go on an occasion—
al sprcc. Walling up one morning. uftcr
a night of dissipation, he found all his
mom-y gone except this note for $20.
Soon-body bud doubtless passed it off on
him. ii» noticed nothing wrong about it
and ban put it into the cigar box in
which he kcpt not only his ready money,
but also bird seed for his pct. canary.
Mice attracted by the bird sot-d. visited
the box and incidentally chewed up the
note. (in linding it partly destroyed tho
sailor forwarded it to the ’l‘rrasury at
Washington. The citrate is iutcrcsting
chiefly us an illustration of the way in
which an uppcurunco of fraud may some“
times llilrilt‘llti.

‘COMFORTING POSSIBILITTES OF PAIN-

A Ingestion that the tear of Physical
Buff-ring In Death faGrcttadleu. In!
Interesting Statements by Famous Pso-
ple from Socrates Down.
Many people, through fear of death, are
all their lives subject to bondage. The
queetions~liow shall we die! When
shall we die! and Where shall we dis? are
continually worrying them. indeed, there
have been several suicides caused by this
haunting terror of death. The thought
of it made their lives insuppo table, and
they killed themselves in ordei to know
theworst. And yet it is quite possible
that in respect to the physical sensation
of dying we resemble Don Quixote, when
he hung by his wrist from the stable win-
(low and imagined that a trenicndnul
abyss yawned beneath his feet; Fate. in
the character of Maritornes, cuts the
thong with lightsome laughter, and the
gallant gentleman falls—four inches!
When Louis XIV. lay dying-“Why
weep you?" he asked those who surround-
.ed his deathbed. "Did you think i should
live forever?" Then, after a pause, ”i
thought dying had been harder.” Dr.
Hunter was another who was agreeably
surprised by his experience of dying. His
last words were: “I! i had strength to
hold a pen 1 would write down how easy
and pleasant a thing it is to die.” A
charming actress who had been twice al-
most drowned told a friend that dying
was the nicest sensation that she knew.
The lateArchbil-lhop of Canterbury, as his
“agony” bcfell, quietly remarked: "It is
really nothing much after all.”
Hundreds of other last or nearly lost
(sayings of dying persons might be cited
to prove the truth of i’liny's remark that
the departure of the soul irequcutly takes
place without pain, and sometimesw even
with pleasure. if the dead could come to
life again, they would all, or nearly all,
we have no doubt, tell us that Walt
Whitman spoke the truth when he said
that
“'hutcvrr happens to anybody it will be
turned to beautiful rcnults.
And nothing can happen more bcautiful than
death.
And again:
All goes outward and onward. nothing col-
