A POEM POSTPONED.
I want to tell you about my kitten—
The prettiest kitten that ever purl-ed;
But I‘ve looked my speller through and through,
And I can‘t discover a. single word
That rhymes with kitten,
Excepting mitten.
And that is old and too absurd,
So the only thing for me to do
Is just to send you what I’ve written,
And wait till she‘grows to be a cat——
There are ever so many to rhyme with that!
—Helen O. Walden in St. Nicholas.
1 llEN’l‘lFlED.
He was a handsome, grand looking man,
unusually fall and powerfully built, with
blue eyes, keen and flashing as well tempered
steel, which yet on occasion could melt with
sweet, sunshiny beams. A tangle of red
bronze hair was brushed back from his fore-
head, and a long, thick, silky, curling beard,
parted in the middle, was blown hither and
thither by the breeze as he walked.
A miner from Pike’s Peak. Like all miners,
he wore the regulation red flannel shirt and
broad brimmed hat, tucked his pantaloons
into his stmng, high boots, and was heavily
armed, not only against the wolves. rat—
tlesnakes and “grizzlies” of the desert and
.mountains, but against the fiercer and more
dangerous animals of his own species.
As, by stress of circumstances, every man
in a mining country is “on the shoot,” it
necessarily comes to pass, in this pernicious
state of things, that to obtain from his neigh-
bors a high estimation of his moral and physi-
cal virtues a man and miner must dictate
his opinion out of his revolver. Situations
constantly arise for imminent and instant
use of this persuader; and however much the
pious—if there were any of that sort—might
“trust in the Lord,” they one and all took
last as much care to “keep their powder
dry” and their bullets forthcoming.
Among miners from every state, all quick
witted and' alert, the Texans hold a. proud
pre—eminence in the astonishing readiness and
dash with which they handle their shooting
irons. They have closely studied the matter,
and have so simplified ways and means that
instead of “'0' ring their pistols in the ordi-
nary way, that is, uncooked in leather holst-
ers at the belt, the long headed Texan sus-
pends his revolver at full cock from steel
hooks attached to the belt; the other end of
the hook passes through a ring in the stock
of the weapon. Thus, while a. gentleman who
differs in opinion with him is unbuttoning the
flap of his holster, drawing his pistol and
cocking it, our Texan, with nothing in the
world to hinder, clutches his revolver, and in
a twinkling lets daylight into the other be—
fore he understands what on earth is the mat-
ter; but who, perhaps, with the supreme in-
tuition given to some at the last moment,
learns too late that simplicitas optima est is a
factor of vital import “down in the mines.”
Our “Piker,” who was from Missouri, had
caught the Texan trick, and more than once
he had owed his life to his trusty, ready six
shooter; he was now going home to his fami-
ly with the money which had required un-
ceasing and often desperate efforts to keep,
and to save from many a wretch who would
commit murder with pleasure to steal ten
dollars or ten thousand.
The miner arrived safely at San Francisco,
and straightway proceeded to a branch of
the St. Lonis house of Page, Bacon «3’: 00..
which house bought his gold dust and gave
him therefor a draft on their main banking
establishment in St. Louis, at which city he
arrived in due course of time, late at night.
The next morning a man might have been
seen walking with stalwart tread through the
streets of St. Louis, the strong breeze blow-
ing his bronzebeard over his shoulders. There
was an absorbed, far away look in his steel
blue eyes, an expression pervading his whole
person that he had left the fatal dangers of
his life behind him forever, and was nearing
the longed for peace and happiness of his
home.
Presently he arrived at and entered the
banking house of Page, Bacon & C0. “With
a quick nod by way of salutation, he strode
on into the cashier’s room, drew out an old
pocketbook, took from it and threw on the
table a draft from their branch banking
house in California.
“I want the money for that draft,” he said
simply.
The cashier took up the paper, examined it
closely, turned it on its back, and saw that it
was indorsed in a rough but muscular hand
with the name of “Allan Brayton.” Then
he spoke a few words to a clerk at a desk
near by. Books were opened, a name noted,
and “All right, sir,” was returned by the ex-
aminer. ,
“Yes,” said the cashier, “we have had ad—
vices from our house in San Francisco. Your
draft is quite correct, sir, and now all that is
necessary is for some one to identify you.”
A look of dull mystification came into the
man’s face, and in a slow, vague, question-
ing voice he repeated, “I-den-ti—fy? I don’t
know what you mean.”
“I mean that some one whom we know,
and you know, must declare that this is your
name on the back of this draft, and that you
are the person who wrote it.”
“Sir,”———the grand form dilated and the
blue eyes blazed——“sir, what do you take me
for—a thief 5"
“Oh, no; you don’t understand.”
“Sir, I tell you I’m a squar man. Five
years ago I went to the mines to make sum-
thin’, if I could. I inoseyed round till I found
a p0c1:et. It did not pan out very rich; but
I worked and saved till I got enough to keep
the wife and chicks decent, and then I tell
you I was glad enough to get out of that
murderin’ crowd, and I had to dig out very
quiet, too, just as if I had perticular bizness
’round the corner. I took my pile to your
men in ’Frisco, who gave me that paper,
which they said was as good as the money
when I showed it to you. Now all I want
you to do is to give me my money.”
“But just listen,” said the cashier earnestly.
“We must take the precaution to have you
identified, for your sake as well as for ours.
See, now, a great many merchants come here
to buy goods to sell at the mines; don’t you
think that if you look around a little you
might find some one who had. seen you there,
.and who would step in and say so?”
“Look here, mister,” answered the miner,
with a hazy, wistful smile, and pathetic shake
of the head, “I. came into this town last night.
I looked ’round for some face I had seen be-
fore. for I felt lonesome. I hadn’t a friend.
Why, I felt so bad I’d a been glad to meet
some of those old coons who used to tell us .
blood and thunder stories in Alligator gulch,
tho’ I knew they were lies every one of them.
And coming here this morning, I looked at
every man I met, but they were all strangers;
ain’t a man in the hull place that would cot--
ton to me worth a cent. Now, you just look
a—here,” he continued, coaxingly, “don’t you
go to bein’ a contrary, panned out, old set-
tler, but just let me have my dust. My wife
and my two little kids are waiting for me.
They don’t want no 'dontifying of me; they
never hearn ofsich a thing. I ain’t got to be
a withered old man of~_a daddy in these five
years. I’m just the areas I were;, so now,

ishardly worth a snap of the fingers, some
drunken, quarrelsome wretch had killed you,
and assuming your name with your money
he had got§th'e draft from our house in San
Francisco and came here to have it cashed.
Suppose we believed him and cashed the
draft. Afterward it was discovered that
you have been murdered, and the wretch
who killed you has disappeared with your
money. Your poor wife and children to
whom it would rightfully belong are in great
want, and the reason she has lost it is that
we neglected to make sure that it really was
her husband and their father who had come
with the draft. Don’t you see that for your
sake and their sakes we must know that you
are the man you represent yourself to be?”
At this point. the good cashier laid one
hand kindly on the miner’s arm, and rested
the other on his shoulder, the more strongly
to iinpress‘his words. ' .
“But, in the name of Caesar,” said the dis-
couraged miner, “how am I ever to git home?
Look a—here, stranger, I’ve given you a plain
statement of all wool facts about myself. I’m
Allan ,Braytonl I’m no murderer! Why,
my young ones’d know me in a minute.
They’d come runnin’ and singiu’ up to me so
sweet and chipper that the birds would stop
and listen; blamed if they wouldn’t!” and a
choke came in his voice; “and my wife, I tell
you”—and the choke deepened into a dry sob
——“my wife, if she seed me a hundred yards
off, why, she’d fly down to me light as a. snow
flake on an oak bough. Dash! you mought
knock me down with a straw. If I can’t git
home, I mought as well slam my pistol to my
head and yank the trigger. That’ll fix it, I
reckon, No one else will come and say he is
Allan Brayton, and you can just tote that
money on to my wife, and say I’m dead.”
“Oh, nonsense! Cheer up,” cried the cash-
ier, who was feeling a. little choky himself.
“Nonsense! Some one must come along in a
day or two who will know you; or. suppose
you send for your wife to come here.”
“How can I? Every cent is locked up in
that draft, and it won’t pay no dividends.”
He walked to the outside door of the of-
fice, looked with his keen glance up and down
the street, then burying his chin in his great
curling heard he seemed to be plunged in
deep thought.
Suddenly he faced about with a shout that
made all the clerks in the office jump and set
the ink bottles bobbing around the desk. His
eyes gleamed lightning. “It’s allright; this’ll
fetch it,” he cried; “don’t want anything bet-
ter to ’dentify me!” As he was speaking he
was tearing off his coat, tearing off his vest,
snatching off his necktie and unbuttoning his
shirt-«his eyes blazing, his breath coming in
great gasps. Then he gave his broad, heav-
ing chest a sounding blow, and in tones full,
moving, like the resounding tones of an or-
gan, though each eager, breathless word
seemed to have a great sob at the bottom of
it, he pointed to his breast and exclaimed:
“Look! look! Here, here is the ’dentification!
It were warranted fast colors when it were
done, and so it were, for I’ve scoured it with
soap and water these twenty years. A sailor
chap did it when I were a boy and ran away
to sea in a fit of cussedness. It hurt so that
I yelled like a circus hyena; but thank God!
thank God! it’ll ’dentify me now!”
He held the bosom of his shirt wide open,
and there, right across his heaving chest, was
the name “Allan Brayton’7 tattooed in India
ink, with fishes and flourishes all around it!
At sight of the name all the clerks at the
desks, who had been eagerly listening to his
appeal, forgot dignity and discipline, and,
rising as one man, cheered Allan Brayton
with a iieartiness that made the rafters ring.
Something was the matter with the cash-
ier’s spectacles, for he took them off and
wiped them carefully before he spoke. Then
clearing his throat he said: “You are right,
Mr. Brayton; that s:1ilo1“s work has identi-
fled you more certain 3: than the. spoken dee—
laration of any other man. I am glad you
have been able to satisfy us so completely.
You will shake hands with me, I am sure, as
a token that you believe that my caution was
necessary, and that in our business, as you
must acknowledge, ‘Eternul vigilance is the
only price of safety.’ ’7
In five minutes more Allan Brayton had
his money, in new crisp bank notes, securely
fastened into a large pocketbook which the ;

radiant look displaced the dismayed, wild,
hunted expression of his face as he quickly ,
and silently resumed his garments. Then,
shaking hands all around, he strode out of
the office, and went gladly and swiftly on his '
way. —New York Independent.
lloots of Human Skin.
In 1870 the firm of Haln'eaholtz Bros, boot
and shoe makers of New York city, made a.
pair of boots from human skin which they
sent to the Centennial exhibition at Phila—
delphia. If we remember rightly, they were
never put on exhibition, which goes to show
that there was some humanity in the centen-
nial officials if not in the makers of the ghast-
ly footgear. Afterwards they were sent to
Professor S. V. Baird, of the Smithsonian i11-
stitute, who would not allowthem shelf room.
The skin from which the boots were made
was taken from the breast, stomach and back
of a. man who had died suddenly and been
taken to a medical college. In general looks
the boots were of a light brown color and
somewhat heavier than if made from calf-
skin. The dark color was caused by the tan-
ning process. The leather was much more
porous than either calf or cow skin—St. Louis
Republic.
\Vhen Chewing \Vas Illegal.
The Stonington correspondent of The Nor—
wich Bulletin has a German silver tobacco
box that has pasted in the inside of the bot-
tom the “Code of the earliest laws and orders
of the general cour‘. of Connecticut in 10:38—
39 against the use of tobacco.” On the inside
of the lid is the picture of a constable arrest-
ing a man for chewing tobacco. Said con-
stable has on a sort of Continental hat, and,
after placing the hand of arrest on the chew—
er’s shoulder, he remarked, “Chaw tobacko, ;
will you ?” Just a little way off is to be seen
the constable’s family, the wife, four small
children and a dog. One of the urchins thus
remarked: “Ma, dad has catched a man
chawing tobacko!” The motherreplies: “He
will have his deserts, my child.” This was
probably a couple of centuries ago, and yet
man hath “chawed tobacko” ever since.
Novelties in Photography.
Many novelties and ingenious modifiea
tions of existing processes in photography
have been shown at the yearly exhibition of
photography at the Crystal palace, Syden
ham, England. Several makers are trying
the experime” of substituting aluminum for
brass in the construction of tourists’ cameras
with the object of decreasing the weight oi:
the apparatus. One firm shows some new tmn:
and instantaneous shutters, which, when ll.
action, do not cause the camera to vibrate or
swing. One maker has adopted a double ec
centric notion for the purpose of bringing.
the lens to any part of the front board, thus
doing away with the skewing of the elbows-r

Raced with a Humpbacked Whale.
Capt. Lemuel Horton, of the schooner Ce-
cilia, at St. John, N. B., has had an experi-
ence with a humpbacked whale which he does
not care to repeat. He was bound from
Parrsboro to St. John, and when off Quale a
humpbacked whale hove in sight. The cap-
tain‘s attention was attracted to it, not onlv
on account of its great size, but because 0]?
the unusual sight of such a whale in northern
waters. The Whale, however, made at once
for the schooner, and began to play about it
as if it thought the vessel some Sea monster.
It then became aggressive, bumping against
the schooner and causing a panic among the
crew. Repeatedly did it strike the vessel’s
hall in this way, nearly founder-ing the craft.
Capt. Horton tried to kill the animal, first
by boat hooks, then by shooting, but neither
availed. He then attempted to escape from
it, and a unique race between ship and whale
began. It continued two days, when they
reached St. John harbor and the whale gave
up the contest, returning to the open sea.
Captain and crew were both exhausted, none
of them having slept a wink during the time
they were trying to escape from the whale,
which was seventy feet long—Philadelphia

Catarrh, Catarrhal Deafness, Hay Fever.
A New Home Treatment.
Suflerers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites
in the lining membrance of the nose and
eustachian tubes. Microscopic research
however, has proved this to be a fact, and
the result of this discovery is that a simple
remedy has been formulated whereby,r
catarrll, catarrhal deafness and hay fever
are permanently cured in from one to
three simple applications made at home
by the patient once in two weeks.
N. B.—Tlns treatment is not a snuff or
an ointment; both have been. discarded
by reputable physicians as injurious. A
pamphlet explaining this new treatment is

of the late Sergt. Ballentine is as follows:
“lie never speaks ill of any man,” it was
casually re narked of the leader of the bar.
“No, of course not,” added the sergeant,
“for he never talks of anybody but himself.”

Getting a Peaceful Smoke.
There is a married man living up town who
dearly loves to smoke. Before he married he
promised, of course, as most men do, that the
minute he was married he would-quit smok-
ing, and, of course, as most men do, within a
month after the wedding he was indulging
himself on the way down town. Of course,
he had the odor of tobacco smoke about his
clothes continually, and he tried to make his
wife believe that it came from being where
other men were smoking, but she would not
have it. So he boldly confessed and began
to smoke in the house. This, she declared,
she would not endure, and the poor gentle-
man was put to his trumps to satisfy his crav-
ing for the weed. As it happens, there is a
police station across the way, and he be«
thought him that the officers might permit
him to smoke in one of the detention cells.
He applied to the captain and his request was
granted. So every evening now he strolls
over to the police station, goes into a cell, and
smokes his pipe in peace—Buffalo Courier.

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.
Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. In a great majority or cases in which
pension was granted for disease. the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate, and in' most; cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disabi‘lityincreases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low, and it often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re-
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a. disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty
of Neglected and Rejected Claims. and it you will
present me with a brief statement of your case,
stating by whom it was presenter], I will obtain a
rehearing of your case, and, if it has merit. will
procure a favorable settlement. Many claims
stand rejected before the department, when it
only requires a competent attorney to make. them
good cases. Soldiers Wearing with disabilities
contracted in service. who have not applied for a
pension, should do so as it is their near.
