Mr. W. S. Gilbert dropped into the
opera-box of a. ‘parvenue‘ friend one
evening when The Magic Flute was on
the bills. After asking him who wrote
the music, the lady said, “Mozart-
Mozart? Never heard of him before.
He’s immense! Why isn't be here?
Why isn’t he doing something else?
Why isn’t he composing?” "‘Because
he’s decomposing. my dear lady!” an-
su'ered Mr. Gilbert.'

 

The Druggist’s Conscience.

A Chicago drugglst keeps his store.
open on... Sunday, but will sell medi-
cines only, and the profit is devoted to
charity. Sometimes he has to exercise
a nice discrimination to avoid selling
things which are not medical necessi-
ties. The Tribune says he refused to
let a little girl have ten cents’ worth
of pearl powder until told that her sis-
ter couldn’t “fix for church” without
it. -

Always Prepared.

Mr. C-itily—Aren’t you always worry-
ing lest you should get snowed in, or
your ferryboat stuck in the ice?

Mr. Isolate (of Lonesomehurst)—-
Hardly! Why, I always have a basket-
ful of groceries with me, and generally
a new cook who could prepare some of
them l—Puck. ' '

 

The City Man “Ian Fresh.

Mr. Newboarder to farmer’s daugh-
ter, familiarly: And how is our milk
maid this evening?

her milking: As usual, Mr. Newboard-
er, same old cow, same old grass.—

Quite Insulted.

“I went to Sunday-school yesterday,”
a little girl said to her aunt, “and the
teacher asked me ‘who made me.’ So
l just told her nobody made me. I won-

and impure, and teachers and pupils fre-

colds, weak lungs and bronchial troubles, no
other remedy can compare with it. Says A.

I have no hesitation in recommending it to all.

" FOR BOYS AND GIRL-:3.

 

» A DOLL. MISSIONARY.

A White Girl’s Plaything Conquers a
' Savage Indian Tribe.

“A gentleman from the ground up—
the finest gentleman in the regular
army,” was the way an old Omaha re-
porter referred to a gentleman at the
Hotel Portland, Major John G. Bourke,
formerly .aid to General Crook, says
the Portland Oregonian. And “then.
warming up to his work, the old re-
porter told the following:

“They used to tell a story of Mr.
Bourke when he was down in Arizona
with Crook that shows what kind of
a man he is. The General was trying
to put a band of Apaches back on the
reserve, but couldn’t catch them with-
out killing them, and he wouldn’t do
that. One day they captured a papoose
and took, her to the fort. She was
quiet all day, saying not a word, but
her black beads of eyes watched every-
thing. When night came she broke
down and sobbed as a white child
would. The fort was in despair until
Mr. Bourke had an idea. From the
adjutant’s wife he borrowed a doll
that was a beautiful creation that had
come to the adjutant’s little girl the
previous Chrismas. When the young
Apache was made to understand that
it was has to keep her sobs ceased
and she fell asleep. “'hen morning
car...” the doll «was still clasped in her
arms. She played with it all day, just
as any child who had been educated
to play prettily when its make-believe
babies would have done, and seeming-
lvl‘ all thought of ever getting back to
the tribe, under the spell of enchant-
ment placed over her by the doll, had
left her. ',

“Not so the ofiicers of the post, how-
ever, for the thought of having to keep
the papoose without having the tribe
make some inquiries as to its welfare
bothered him to no considerable ex-
tent. Several days passed with no

‘sign of overtures being.r made by the
tribe, and finally in despair the pa-

poose, with the doll still in its posses-
sion, was sent back to the tribe. Major
Bourke, who was then a first lieuten-
ant, when the child was sent back to
the tribe, had no idea of the effect his
benevolent act to the papoose would
have upon the crafty band of abori-
gines. When the child reached the
tribe, with its proud prize tightly
grasped in its chubby hands, it created
a sensation among the native Ameri-
cans, and its mother later'went back
to-the post with it. She was received
its a hospitable manner and kindly
treated, and the effect of her visit was
such that through her overtures were
made to the tribe, with the result that
soon afterwards the whole band moved
back on the reserve.

Major ,Bourke, in all probability,
when the kind act .was done, in order
to. placate the heart‘broken papoose,
had no idea of its ever being of such
service to General Crook and his for-
ces. It saved them from engaging in
a bloody battle, in which the lives of
the Apaches ,and Uncle Sam’s forces
would have been jeopardized to such
an extent that many would have been
killed or maimed for life, and made
possible, what is seldom accomplished,
the placing of a large body of one of
the most barbarous Indian tribes on
the American continent back on the
reservation without the loss of a life.
The Apaches were of the same tribe
as that which Geronimo made do dead.
ly work not so many years ago.”

" Parlerewski,” a Dog‘Pianist.

Like the original of thename, he has
a. striking head of hair and is one of
the attractions at an uptown show
house. He is a black French peodle,
with nothing remarkable about his ap-
pearance. except that he is shaved all
over his body and the hair on his head
is left long.

Paderewski. the dog, trots out on the
stage, gleefully wagging his tail, and
jumps up on a music stool in front of
a piano that is three feet long. The
piano has only one octave, and each
of the keys is four inches wide.

Seated on his-haunches, Paderewksi
prepares to play. Duty-first, he' looks
around abstractedly and ». gives his
head a preliminary shake:

Then the orchestra plays slowly
through theone tune he knows. It is
“The Last Rose of Summer,” and the
dog listens. with his ears critically
cocked. Then. with an air as if giv-
ing the orchestra points, and at a sig-
ngl from his master he brings one paw
down and strikes a note.‘ '

The look of apparent conceit cu Pad-
erewski’s face is almost as funny as
his pfiying. He evidently feels he is
doing himself proud, and his back stif~
fans as he goes on. .

Note by note. the orchestra accom-
panies him, and this helps to keep up
the tune when the dog. as be some.
times does, strikes 'a false note.

Paderewski always becomes tired be-
fore the tune is finished. .He looks as
if he would jump down and run, if his
master was not there. \Vhen, the tune
is ended he trots ofi the stage with a
distinct air of relief.

A Reasoning Cat. .

Some children had set up a cage of
white mice. One of them when given
a run has a way of making for the
chimney—perhaps he prefers a little
color. The other day he managed to
make the ascent, and did not come-
down again;
was found outside'the house by the
stable cat. which brought him and laid
hi indown at the feet. of one of the
children; then he purred and rubbed
himself against her legs. The .mousc
was not the least injured, only, fright-
ened. and lay panting for nearly quar-
ter Of an hour, after which he began tc
run about, andwva's altogether him-
self again._ The‘cat’s conduct seems
quite as remarkable as it was exem-
plary, for he never had been known to
spure‘a-mops’e before. . -
