He was excusable for sleeping. He was well advanced in life, the day was a hot one, and he had tired his brain in an effort to ifhtangle the re­ counts otthe Township Assessor. "Hallo, Squire," sonic'one said. "Hallo, yourself," cried the Squire, flinging up his head, rubbing his eyes, and adjusting his glasses. His visitor was a sturdy, brown-faced girl of 14, with fluffy, black hair, bright eyes, and a resolute mouth. She was very self-contained in her manner, and while there was no re­ sentment in her composition, it was evident that she was one who would stand up for her rights. ••What do you want?" asked the Sqaire. "Law," was the crisp reply, where­ upon the Squire struggled to repress a smile, v, "I want ray pony," the girl added. "Your pony!" repeated the Squire. "I haven't got your pony. „ Why do you come to me?" "You're the Squire, are you not?" the girl asked. "My pony was stolen last falL The gypsies have • her in their camp at Cove Creek. I saw her there this morning." Squire Barlow suddenly became interested in the face, voice, and posi­ tive ways of his young visitor. "What is your name?" he asked. "Rosie Watson, sir," she said. "O, you are the blacksmiths daughter," observed the Squire. "Yes, I remember you now. Well, why didn't your father come?" "It is my pony," the girl said. "And my--my--case." -"Yes,1- admitted the Squire. He laughed softly to,himself, spread out his official docket, and made a few entries. "You saw your pony this morning?" he asked. "Yes, sir. At Cove Creek, by the covered bridge, just outside the gypsy camp. She was grazing on the banks ol the stream," stated liosie. "Ponies may look very much alike," suggested the Squire. "Ah, but I'd know Dollie among a thousand ponies,1' declared Rosie, her brown face aglow, ' 'She's a dark bay, with black points, a star on her forehead, white fetlocks, and a faint dash of white on her breast." The Squire was busy writing. He stopped dnd read aloud to ber the complaint and the description. "Can you add anything?" asked Rosie. "Why, of course, little dear," re­ plied the Squire, in his farherly way. "Then add," suggested Rosie, "that the pony is ten hands high," That was promptly interlined, and then tbe Squire gravely asked: "Rosie can you swear that you know the pony to be yours, and that you be­ lieve the g3'psies have her?-" "Yes,, sir, I can;" Rosie said de­ terminedly, and without a moment's hesitation. "Take this book," the Sq&re said. "It is the Holy Bible. Suppose you swore to what is not true?" ' 'I would be a perjurer," was Rosie's answer. "And what would be the conse­ quence?" "My soul would V>e Inst unleSs God forgave me the dreadful sin." "Yes, child," the Squire said, with moistened eyes "You seem to know what you are about." He administered the oath, and then said, "Kiss the book." She looked at him with a wonder­ ing glance. and then pressed her lips to the book in an awed, reverential manner. "What will it cost?" she asked, fa her matter-of-fact way. "Don't bother your head about the cost," the Squire said. "Wait a bit," he added, seeing that she was about to go. He hurriedly filled up a blank summons, folded it, handed it to her and said: "I suppose you know where Constable Finn lives?" "O, yes," replied Rosie. "Take that to him at once," the Squire said. "It is a warrant for the head Gypsy's arrest. The hearing will be held at 2 o'clock this after­ noon. As you are the complainant, you must be present at that hour." The time and circumstances of the hearing were noised about the village, and when 2 o'clock came, the Squire's office was crowded. The Gypsy sat on a rough bench, with an unllghted clay pipe in his mouth. He was dirty, unshaven, siillen-looking, He did not wear a vest, and his corduroy breeches were fastened at the waist by a greasy leathern belt, behina which the haft of a knife was visible. "The plaintiff here, this little girl, claims that you have a pony which belongs to her,"' Squire Barlow sifid, Ms eyes on the Gypsy, who replied: "She hasn't any claim on it. It is mine." "Where did you get the pony?" asked the Squire. "I bought her iip Michigan," said the man. "When?" "Three years ago." It was such a bold lie that Bosic's face flamed with indignation. "She gives a very minute descrip­ tion of the pony," reminded the Squire. "There are plenty of dark bay po­ nies, ten hands high, and slashed wifch white," was the man s dogged reply. "Anybody could look at her across^ fence and then describe her," he added with a grin. "The girl must bring better proof before 111 surrender the pony " ., Ilosfe !o"!red "tit of +lic rcnr ~ flow of the Squire's office, and saw a small pasture lot close by. Her face fairly beamed with an idea that had occurred to her. "Squire Barlow," she asked, tier strong voice filling the room, "to whose satisfaction must I prove the pony is mine? To that man's satis­ faction, or to yours?" "To the satisfaction of the court," demanded the Squire, with a broad sarile. * •* , "All right," Rosie exclaimed with a quick, pleased gesture. "Make out another warrant." "For whom?" asked the Squire. "Fdf*Dolly,-' replied Rosie. •j- "Oh, you want the pony arrested, eh?' asked the Squire, whereupon everybody laughed, jf "I want her brought here and turned into this pasture lot,"., point­ ing out the window. "I'll prove that She is my pony agaihst all comers and goers." The Squire caught a glimpse of her purpose. : A.. "Constable Finn, bring the pony here," he ordered. Rosie beckoned the Constable to her and whispered to him: "Mr. Finn, stop at the house and get my riding whip. ' We are-going to have a circus." Iu half an hour-Constable Finn ap^ peared with the p:>ny, and the Qourt adjourned to the pasture lot. v. "Poor Dolly, how she has beert abused!" Rosie said with a vibrating voice,her tears very near. "Mr. Finn, hand me my whip and then 'turn the pony loose." ; The pony scampered across the lot and then returned. Rosie stood still, the whip in her hand, all eyes resting upon her. "Here, Dolly," she cried. "Cotue here, Dolly'" The pony flung up her head, looked at Rosie, whined her delight, and then walked up to her and poked her in the ribs with her nose. "Do you love me, Dolly?" she asked. * The pony nodded her head. "How much do you love me?" Rosie asked. The pony made no response. "How much do you love me?" Rosie sharply repeated, with a pe­ culiar movement of her whip. The pony kissed her by touching her cheek with her nose. Rosie was so overcome that she flung her arms around the pony's neck and laughed and cried hysterically. More than one sturdy man 'drew his sleeve acfoss his eyes. The gypsy stared at the experiments, hisswarthy face growing darker. [ "KjieeL, Dolly," ordtacd Rosie, as she swayed her whip. \ « Down went the pony on her knees. "Sit up," cried Rosie. In a momeht more the pony was oaa her haunches. "Shal^Jiands, my lady." The ixm^thrust out one foot. •'Now piajj" In response to that, the intelligent animal folded her front legs, rested her head upon them, and looked com­ ically demure. "Get up," was the next order. When the pony was on all fours again, Rosie struck her lightly oh the foot. "Why, you poor child, you!" she commiseratingly said. "You are dreadfully lame!" The pony limped around, bobbed her head and looked so dejected that e very bod v laughed except the gypsy. Constable Flynn grinned at him and said, sarcastically: '-'You must a-spent a power o' time learnin" the pony all that are." The gypsy muttered something un­ der his breath, a baleful look in his eyes. • 44Go away!" Rosie angrily cried to the pony, with a flit of the whip. The pony then ran to the rear of the pasture lot, and then came back at. a fearful rate of speed, her mane streaming, her jaws apart, her teeth gleaming. yourself in the county prlMft; ISTcw be sharp!" . Tho gypsy sneaked sullenly away, Constable Finn following closplv at his heels. » The bysta nders congrat ulated Rosie, and cheered her heartily as she vaulted unaided upon the bare back of the pony and rode home with i*. For weeks Ilosic's case before the Squire was a topic of conversutiewt;- MRS. POTTER PALMER. Look otft,x girl!" several of the spectators cried in alarm. Rosie felt no dismay. She stood still, her arms folded, her whip in her hand. The pony did not run her down, but stopped directly in front of her, and whinni<?d. and thrust out her head to l»e caressed. "Mr. Finn," Rosie said, "please cover my pony's eves, so that she can't see." The constable did so, while Rosie walked to the fence and dropped her handkerchief. Then she came back and stroked the pony's nose. "Dollie," she said, in a tone of deep concern, and she passed the whip three times in front of her. "I have lost my handkerchief." The pony snuffed about her dress. "It isn't in my pocket," Rosie said, "I must, have dropped it somewhere. Go look for it." The pony went around the lot. found the handkerchief, picked it up, and brought it to her young mistress. "Is the court satisfied?" asked Rosie," a quizzical look on, her face. "The court is satisfied." Squire Barlow said. "In fact the court is overwhelmed. Rosie Watson, the pony belongs to you. Take her home, she is entirely too smart." "But ain't I to be compensated in any way?" asked the gypsy, with a fierce scowl. "You are getting off cheaply enough as it is," was the Squire's comment "You ought so be glad that she did not charge you with stealing the pony. "Well, I'm going to give the pony good-by, anyhow." the myn said. He stepped quickly up, to the pony, grasped the halter and pressed closely to her. But Rosie had her eyes about her. She gave a loud scream, and dealt the pony a stinging blow on the nose. The animal sprang back and the gypsy fell flat on his face. When he rose to his feet, he had an ugly knife in his hand. , "The coward was going to kill my pony," cried Rosie, in terror. Stoutly built though the miscreant was, Constable Finn seized him by the collar and shook him until his teeth chattered. The crowd surged down upon the gypsy, to do him further harm, but Squire Barlow in­ terfered. "Look here, you scoundrel," he said in a great rage, "if you are not out of the township in half an hour, your whole gang, bag and baggage, lock, stock, and barrel, you'll find and tliey who \ The taugH of Werttnru Africa. In. the Western part of Africa is an immense tribe of savages and it has conquered the French Congo country, which is five times the sizeof France. This people are variously called Pa- houins, Fans or Fangs. The latter name properly belongs to them, how­ ever. The entire French Congo con­ tains a population of 8,000,000, over half being Fangs. These people are the worst cannibals in existence, and do not try to conceal it. On the con­ trary they seem proud of the fact, and when asked why they came awav from their native country, they will answer, "We came to eat." They eat their prisoners, men who are killed in battle, unfortunates whom they catch straggling in the woods, boatmen of tribes with whom are at war. There are very few whites know anything of their language. The difficulty of its construction, the indistinctness with which it is pronounced, the nasal tone in which the words are uttered, and the exces­ sive swiftness of speech of the Fangs have discouraged most white men who have tried to master the lanr guage. We and Our Colt. Tuesday morning last the 2-year- old colt recently purcuased by the editor of the Independent decided that the space in the barn then being occupied by her owner was preferrable to his society, especially while she was enjoying her breakfast, and with­ out ceremony proceeded to remove him from her presence. One of the colt's hoofs, which fortunately wore no shoe, but which we one do not now recnll, made sudden and close connec­ tion with the cuticle over our right eye. thereby removing a goodly jh)ih tion of skin from its foundation. Just how soon we can properly appear on the street without a veil cannot now be determined.

"--Burlington Independent. Patrick's Blarney. An Irish peasant brought a litter of kittens to a Protestant vicar, in a certain town in County Wicklow, re­ questing him to purchase them. The vicar declined. "Your rivrence, they are good Protestant kittens," urged Paddy, but his reverence remained obdurate. A few days after, the Roman Catholic priest (who had meanwhile been informed of the offer to his brother-clergyman) was ap­ proached, and on his refusing to make a purchase, the would-be seller urged a sale: "Sure, father dear, they are good Catholic kittens. > "But how is this, my man?" replied the priest; "you said a day or two ago they were good Protestant kittens'."- "And so they were," said the peasant, "but their eyes weren't opened." • tide a M nr-ili*I or f r.inc-. ; An interesting uit of history was told to me lately by a direct descend­ ant of G. W. Parke Custis. \ It seems that when, iu 1781, the United States sent to France a specia] Ambassador, some difficulty arose be­ tween him and the French Govern­ ment as to the command of the com­ bined armies in America. Col. Lau­ rens, tbe Ambassador, stated very firmly that George Washington, our chief, must command, "for it is our cause, and the battle on our soil." The ettiquette of the foreign Govern­ ment, however, exclaimed: "C'est impossible!" for here was Count do Rochambeau, an old Lieutenant Gen- eral, who could only be commanded by the Kijfig in person or a Marechal de France. The American wit of Col. Laurens flashed upon the situation a happy thought: "Make our Washington a Marechal de France and the difficulty is at an end." It was done. Mr. Custis continues that a friend of his;, heard Gen, Washington spoken of as monsieur le MarechaLat the siege of Yorktown. I have heard that in some Southern home there is a treasure held beyond price--even the antiquity-hunter's price, and his who aspires to buy the bones of his ancestors--an ancient porcelain mug, on which is painted an. effigy of Washington on horseback, and underneath is this inscription: "George Washington, Esq., General- in-chief of the United States Army and Marshal of France."--Wide Awake. , Heroism. The little fishing port of Peel, on the west coast of the Isle of Man, looks out on the Irish Sea. A rocky headland, called Contrary Head, juts out south of the harbor, while in front is a rugged island rock, on which stand the ruins of Peel Castle. It is a perilous place for ships, and a splen­ did pi ace for the display of the heroism of the Manxmen. One afternoon in October, 1889, a Norwegian ship, in a fearful tempest, was drifting upon Contrary Head. All Peel was down at the beach watching her The lifeboat was got out, and there were so many volun­ teers that the harbor-master had no difficulty in selecting a crew. The Norwegian had lost her masts, and the spars were floating around, so that she was dangerous to approach; but the lifeboat reached her. "How many of you?" cried out the coxswain to the Norwegian Captain.' '•Twenty-two." The coxswain counted them as they hung on the ship's side, and said: "I only see twenty-one: not a man shall leave the ship until j"ou bring the odd one on deck." The odd one, a disabled man, had been left below to his fate. He was brought up, and all were taken aboard the lifeboat and safely landed on the beach. The Norwegian Government struck metals for the lifeboat men, and sent them-to the Governor of the Island for distribution.

Mrs. Palmer is a native of Louisville, Ky. Her mtfiden name was Bertha Honore, and she was wlutated in a convent at Georgetown, D. C. She was married to Potter Palmer in 1871. Mrs. Palmer Is acknowledged to be one of Chicago's most beautiful women, and the striking beauty of her clear-cut feat­ ures has been effectively brought out by the artist in the excellent portrait here presented. Here is shown the highest type of mechanical engraving -- the photo-zinc etching, which has now superseded all of the old expensive methods. For a zinc etching the design is drawn from a photograph on white cardboard double the size wanted. This is photographed on zinc plate, and the plate then put into an acid bath, which eats or etches away everything except the lines which are to appear on the cut^ The engraving process is altogether mechan­ ical, and is, therefore, mechanically per­ fect, as is sliown by the above portrait. All the daily and weekly newspaper illustrations are photo-zinc etchings, and they have become so cheap in price that well-made portraits like tho above can now be had from the Chicago Newspaper Union for $2.50, while a cut like it by tho old method of wood engraving would have cost $6 or $8. The Chicago News­ paper Union will, upon request, give full information as to the making and cost of all kinds of zinc-etching illustrations. Only Cotton After All.

In the presence of such an epidemic as this the only thing that we can do is to fight it with resolute courage, and it is important to begin with its first attack. When it assail^ you get a bottle of REID'S GERMA» Coiftra and KIDNEY CURB and take it freely. It contains no poison, and there is nothing in it deleterious. You can give it to the weakest infant or the strongest than with benefit in both cases. It is a stimulant, and It aids the digestion while it extermi­ nates the microbe. It incites the kidneys to action and relieves the lungs from their burden while it gently relaxes thefowels. When this is done the%i:ij>pe| is conquered, and what is more, fhe|e is much less dan­ ger of a second attack, for all the organs are then in a healthy condi-* tion and ajble to withstand disease.
