One day a miner named BaScomb came into Reed City after provisions, and after a event° of hours and when ready to .start for home he said to the Proprietor of the general store: -"Look here, Bill, „I'd -about forgotten. sunthin. On the claim next' to nip is a Chinyman, an he 'peered to me this anorn-1 'better take some medicine back with :in: be a mighty sick heathen.

"Has he got a fever?"• - "Seemed that way." 'Takin 011 any?'' ' "Jahherin all thitime, an his eye, I left him a diah of water." "I think be has got the moun ain fe- ver," said the dealer, "an I .gues you'd better take hint some -salts: No white 111110 kin ever tell what ails a Chinyman, but salts will be as apt to hit as tor Miss him. Just give hint the salts, .an If you feel like doin any more rub the soles of his feet- svith pork fat." , Bascomb went :Sway With the salts, and it was two or three .weelc§' before he '.showed up again. Ire was elle • pro- visions, and the dealer suddenly re. ollect- ed the, sick Chinaman and said: "Oh, by the way, how's that Chi yman you got the salLs fur?" "Why, he was dead when I gotback," was the reply. "I told you he *as purty sick, but I didn't think he WOtild go off so soon. Yes, he was dead as a berrin; ! an.1 took the salts myself."

"Soniebody had, put a bullet intd him, an I'm kind of 'fraid it was me. In the night I hears1 somebody spookin around to git my tools, an I blazed away a dna- him off.

Indignant at the Telephone Girl Who Suggested A number of women were:waiting in a long line for a chance to use ono tele- phone in a dry goods store in the shop- ping district. Naturally they blamed the . telephone operator, who was • perfectly cool and apparently idle, and not helping at all. All she did was now and then - every five minutes, in fact -to pull a wire here and touch a button there. The wo- men, one and all, thought this was in- considerate'. A clerk • certainly ought to keep people from talking so long,: or at least bustle around and IntsIse a show of waiting cm the others. Finally one wo- man cotild stand it no longer. Rushing from the line, she went up -to the Opera- tor and said: "I want 415." "What?" said the operator. _ "Four hundred and fifteen," replied the custonier. • "Four hundred and fifteen what?" said the operator. "You impertinent hussy, I want you to give me 415 immediately," was the con- ' tinuation. "Yes, but Cortlandt or Eighteenth street or what? There are several 415s. Which do you want?" • "Not being a telephone person, I do not know such things," was the indignant re- tort. The operator asked whom she Wanted. "You're impertinent, Why shOuld I Inform you whom I want to talk to?" And she looked around to the waiting line for commendation. The girl then handed her the telephone book. She found the number. It was an up town station. Instead of tele- phoning, however, she --waited to speak her mind. Meanwhile the sixth person behind her was talking over the wire. She was then told that she must writ her turn again. "I'll do no such thing; I'll send la tele- gram. I won't patronize a coMpany that has such insulting employees." - New York Commercial Advertiser:. An Astonished Bachelor. Stopping at a local hotel is a bachelor of uncertain age. Although his whiskers and hair are well tinged with streaks of gray, has makes as much of an effort as any woman ever did to conceal frOm the publicthe number of years he has been upon the earth. He has so far baffled every effort on the part of the other guests to ascertain his ago. The man is always ready to .be led into an argument about his age, seemingly with a view of giving out the impression that he is stiff young. His persistence has brougbt some of the guests to believe that he is not less than CO years of age. The 'subject was brought up recently !at the suppes table, when the bachelor said: a young man: Why, Bridget here (referring to the waitress who waa! stand- ing beside the table) says I'm not old enough to get married yet." "That's what I said," she repliecl, "but, gintleinen, it takes some men a long while to reach that age, and sometimes (look- ing at the astonished bachelor) they nev- er do." -Pittsburg Chronicle -Telegraph. He Barred Sawin Wood; As will be seen, it make a great differ- ence how one uses the mu cular resources at one's command. A me ber of an ath- letic club after swimmin the length of the large tank in the bases' ent of the in- stitution, came out puffin and blowing, apparently exhausted. "You don't manage your , breathing right," said the swimming Instructor. 't,It ought not to tire you so. As to the upper part of your body, including your arms, you use exactly the same muscles and in very much the same way hi swim- mieg as in sawing wood." "No, sir!" gasped the swimmer. 'N-Vlien. It comes to that. I use the muscles of some other man." Dignity. I ought not to allow any man because he has broad lands to feel that he is rids In My presetee.

MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED AT THE HURON EXPOSITOR OFFICE, BEAFORTH, ONTA IO. NO WITNESSES REQU RED. CURTAIN RAISERS. Dorothy Kendal Is going back into vaudeville. , David Henderson Is planning to open a theater at Havana: Grace 'Sherwood is to take back her old part in "We-uns 6f Tennessee." "San Toy," a Chinese opera, written by Edward. A. Morton, has been a pronounc- ed success in London. Frederick Paulding put on "Romeo and Juliet" in Milwaukee and boasted that it ran more than 4 week.

Hamlet -at Daly's, New York,- in the spring, when Virginia flamed will play Ophelia. "The Gay Lord Quex," which John Hare has been playing at the Globe the- ater, London,since early last spring, has celebrated Its to hundredth perform- ance. All the successful New York plays are to go to London in the spring. Accord- ing to private information,the latest ad- dition to the list is Wiliam Gillette's melodrama "Sherlock Holmes." Coquelin is soon to revive at his Paris .theater the dramaticversion or "Les' .Miserables." The play was written by Victor Hugo's brother; the novelist him- self assisting, and was, acted'first'in 1863 • at Brussels. In 1878, under the name of "Fondue," it was introduced to Paris. Kirke La Shelle is to produce a nevi comic opera, "The Princess Chic," in New York. The Scene is to be Burgundy in the fifteenth century, and two of its characters will be Duke Charles the.Bold and ,LouiS XI of France. The music is byi Sultan Edwards, and Mr. La Sheila himself has Written the book. Beerbohm Tree, encouraged by the manner in which London has received his revival of "King -John," has announced 'he will present Shakespearean' plays to the end of the season. "King John" will hold the boards for sometime, however. It will be. followed by "A • Midsummer Night's., Dream," which in turn, in all probability, will be succeeded by "The Merchant of Venice." MILLER'S METHODS. The Miller formula for making money: Ask for it. -New York Sun. Some of Miger's dupes have gone _crazy.

HUMAN NATURE. Every one expects more from his friends t an he is willing to do for them. A man can get the best sf a qua rel a d then hate himself for ha ing it.

Success is a crop that de- pends for its returns less upon the soil that is cultivated than upon the man- ner of cultivation." Cornered.

There is an old saying that any man can, subdue a wild aninal by merely gaz- ing into its eyes. .YOt it is a much de - bat d question whether snch a thing is jos ible, and there are so:3i° hunters who believe that the human eye has absolutely no power over wild a.inals. South African sportsman once de- ter) ined to put the qUestion to the test. Ap roaching a large ostrich, he gazed fix dly at it, and to his delight the mem- me .ic glance seemed to meet with imme- die e success. The hird crouched and fla ped its wings nervously. Some hours lat r, however, the man's body was found wit the ostrich alternately sitting and ju ping upon it. pother believer in the human eye ex - per mented on a wildcat confined in a zoological garden. 1Ie afterward con- fessed that but for the Wires of the cage his face Would have been torn to pieces. A very different story is related of a negro attached to ail ',African hunting party. Wandering + day from camp, he surprised' two lion, eubs at play* and thoughtlessly commeneed to :inns° them. He was only too successful. Thelsig cubs gamboled fearlessly about bins -and to his =dismay refused to desist when he wished to leave them. Realizing the angel_ to which he Would be exposed should the mother appear, he began to run, but the cubs refused to be shaken off, and in their play they scratch- ed his legs in fearful fashion. That the creatures were thoroughly en- joying themselves was evident from their manifestations of delight, and before long their unusual cries brdught a lioness leap- ing to the spot. Trembling in everi limb, the negro faced the growling ani)n 1, while the ctibs continued to jump atjhin eager for fun - thee caresses. The .e raged lioness mov- ed round uneasily in', a circle, man and beast keeping.their eYes fixed steadily on each other. Severaltimes the lioness crouched to 'spring, but the man, from fear, never 'shifted his gaze. At length after what seemed an age, when the negro was ready to drop from exhaustion, the animal suddenly called her cubs . away and disappeared into the surrounding scrub. -New York Herald. : Well Answered. There is a handsoMe young woman in Washington who had the misfortune to fall, down stair S a few yes' ago, so badly fracturing one, of her knees that the limb had ts be, amputated.

One of the mosegmigeous fishes in the world is reund, strangely enough, not in tropical Waters, but off the coasts of England, -here the waters are gray and deep an1 old. It is the opah,- or king - fish. Thi species reaches a weight of from 30 td 100 pounds and is shaped a little like the great sunfish of the Atlan- tic ocean in American waters. The fishhas imm nse eyes, of which the iris is a bright scarlet. The gill cov- ers are gr en and g4dd,, and the rest of the fish is flashing ied land green, over which the .e play sheens of purple and gold. Again over th'S sheen there is an- other still more transparent film of silver, which plays in large, white spots Over the rest of the bright colors. The fins, which are large and sword shaped, are a vivid red. A Libel on the Girls. When B. young man takes a girl to a show, he is expected to provide the best seats, call with a hack, open and close the gates, help her with her cloak and act generally as though he were a lackey serving a princess, but when two girls go to a show together they buy seats in the balcony, meet onl a corner and have a good, sensible time. Young men would - go in society more if the girls did not work them so hard. Most of the girls, we regret to say, work the startled fawn business too bard.-Atehison Globe. ' For a Fine Skin.
