NYE ON PICNICS AND CAMP LIFE.
How Hot Ashes Cured Charcoal Brown
of a Kaging Fever. ^ ^
[Boston Globe.]
Camping out in summer for several weeks
is a good thing generally. Freedom : rom
social restraint and suspenders is a great
luxury for a time, and nothing purifies the
blood quicker or makes a side of bacon taste
more like snipe on toast than the crisp ozone
that floats through the hills and forests
where man can monkey e’er the green grass
without violating a city ordinance.
The picnic is an aggravation, It has just
enough of civilization to be a nuisance and
not enough barbarism to make life seem a
luxury. If our aim be to lean up against a
tree all day in a short seersucker coat and
ditto pantaloons that segregated while we
were festooning the hammock, the picnic js
the thing. If we desire to go home at night
with a jelly symphony on each knee and a
thousand-legged worm in each ear, we may
look_upon the picnic as a success.
But to those who wish to forget the past
and live only in the booming present, to
get careless of gain and breathe brand-new
air that has never been used, to appease an
irritated liver, or straighten out a torpid
lung, let me say, pick out a high, dry clime,
where there are trout enough to give you aii
excuse for going there, take what is abso-
lutely necessary and no more, and then stay
there long enough to have some fun.
If we picnic, we wear ourselves out trying
to have a good time, so that we can tell
about it when we get back, but we do not
actually get acquainted with each other be-
fore we have to quit and return.
To camp is to change the whole pro-
gramme of life, and to stop long enough in
the never-ending conflict for dollars and
distinction to get a full breath and look
over the field. Still it is not always smooth
sailing. To camp is sometimes to show the
material of which we are made. The dude
at home is the dude in camp, and wherever
he goes he demonstrates that he was made
for naught. I do not know what a camping
party would do with a dude unless they
used him to bait a tear trap with, and even
then it would be taking a mean advantage
of the bear. The bear certainly has some
rights which we are bound in all ‘decency to
respect.
James Milton Sherrod said he had a pe-
culiar experience once while he was in camp
on the Poudre in Colorado.
We poured hot ashes down his back.
“We went over from Larmy,” said he,
‘ ‘in July, eight years ago—four of us. There
was me and Charcoal Brown and old Joe
and young, Joe Connoy. We had just got
comfortable down on the Lower Fork, out
of the reach of everybody and sixty miles
from a doctor, when Charcoal Brown got
sick. Well, we had a big time of it. You
can imagine yourself something about it.
Long in the night Brown began to groan,
and whoop, and holler, and I made a diag-
nosis of him. He didn’t have much sand
anyhow, He was trying to git a pension
from the government on the grounds of de-
sertion and failure to provide, or some such
a blame thing or another, so I didn’t feel
much sympathy for him. But when I lit
the gas and examined him I found that he
had a large fever on hand, and there we
was without a dpggon thing in the house
but a jug of emigrant whisky and a paper
of condition powders for the mule, I was
a good ('eal rattled at first to know what
the dickens to do fur him. The whisky
wouldn’t do him any good, and, besides, if
he was goiii* to have a long spell of sickness,
we needed it for the watchers.
“Wall, it was rough. I’d think of a thou-
sand things that was good fur fevers and
then I’d remember that we hadn’t got’em.
Finally old Joe says to me, ‘James, why
don’t ye soak his feet?’ says he, ‘Soaknuth-
in’,’says I; ‘what would ye soak’em in?’
We had a, long-handle frying-pan, and we
could heat water in it, of coarse, but it was
too shaller to do any good, anyhow; so we
abandoned that synopsis right off. First I
thought I’d try the condition powders in
him, but I hated to go into a case and pre-
scribe so reckless. Finally I thought about
a case of rheumatiz that I had up in Bitter
Creek years ago, and how the boys filled
their socks full of hot ashes and put ’em all
over me till it started the persbyterian all
over me and I got over it. So we begun to
skirmish around the tent for socks, and I
hope I may be teetotally slum if there was a
blame sock in the whole syndicate. Ez fur
me, I never wore ’ em, but I did tnink young
Joe would be fixed. He wasn’t though.
Said he didn’t want to be considered proud
and high strung, so he left his socks at home.
“So we stood Brown up agin a tree and
poured hot ashes down his back till he be-
jun to fit his cloze pretty quick, and then
ve laid him down in the tent and covered
lim up with everything we had in our hum-
ble cot. Everything worked well until he
begun to perspirate, and then there was
nusic, and don’t you forget it. That kind
if soaked "the ashes, don’t you see, and made
1 lye that would take the peeling off a tele-
graph pole.
“Charcoal Brown just simply riz up and
uttered a shrill whoop that jarred the
geology of Colorado, and made my blood
run cold. The goose flesh riz on old Joe
Connoy till you could hang your hat on him
anywhere. It was awful.
“Brown stood up on his feet and threw
things and cussed us till we felt ashamed of
ourselves. I’ve seen sickness a good deal in
my time, but—I give it to you straight—I
sever seen an invalid stand up in the lone-
liness of the night, far away from home and
Eriends, with the concentrated lye oozing
out of the cracks in his boots, and reproach
people th9 way Charcoal Brown did us.
“He got over it, of course, before Christ-
mas, but he was a different man after that.
I’ve been out campin’* with him a good
many times sauce, but he never complained
of feelin’ indisposed. He seemed to be timid
about tellin’ us even if he was under the
weather, and d Joe Connoy said mebbe
Brown was afraid we might prescribe fur
him or sumtkin.” Bill Nye.
Summer Showers.
[Harper’s Bazar.]
“Powerful heaby rain, dis. An' it ’pears
!o perfolate right freo dis umberil, an’ right
lown my spineual column.”
Charcoal Brown reproached us.
“Then we begun to look around, and
finally decided that Brown would die pretty
soon if we didn’t break up the fever, so we
concluded to take all the ashes under the
campfire, fill up his cloze, which was loose,
tie his sleeves at the wrists and his pants at
the ankles, give him a dash of condition
powders and a little whisky to take the taste
out of his mouth, and then see what ejosted
nature would do. )
A Model Wife.
[Detroit Free Press.]
Jones was well aware that his wife was in
;he habit of rifling his pockets when he was
isleep, but, like a wise man, he kept silence
in the subject. One night, however, he
1 woke and caught her in the act.
‘Ha!” he exclaimed, “what are you doing,
ny dear?”
The lady started, her cheeks flushed, the
pantaloons dropped from her grasp, and she
was about to make a full confession when a
bright idea entered her head. Recovering
her composure she said;
“I was looking to see whether your panta-
loons needed any buttons.”
“They do, they do, my dear,” he ex-
claimed, springing from bed, “needed ’em
Eor weeks, months, and I wondered why you
didn’t sew’em on; but I waited, for I was
sure you would get to it some time. And
how kind of you to get out of bed at this
time of night to attend to’em. Sav what
you will, there’s nothing in the world" like a
good wife. Let me turn up the gas a little,
30’s you’ll have all the light you want in
rawing ’em on. Got your needle and thread
and the buttons? No. Well, tell me where
fchey are and I’ll get them.’ ’
Mrs. Jones proceeded to saw on the but-
tons, while her husband sat on the side of
the bed and encouraged her with words of
praise for her wifely care and thought for
his comfort, occasionally' remarking that
go where he would he would always say
there was nothing in the world like a good
wife.
Then he went to the wardrobe and brought
out several pr ira of trousers, a coat, two or
three old vests, and a number of shirts, from
all of which buttons were missing, and cheer-
ily observed;
‘ While we’re at it we’ll make a night of
it.”
Two hours later, when Mrs. Jones, with a
weary sigh, removed the thimble from her
finger, Mr. Jones patted her on the cheek
and said:
“I say it again, my dear, say it again,
that wherever J go I will make it known,
proclaim it from the housetops, shout it in
the highways and byways, that a wife who
gets up in the middle of the night to sew
buttons on her husband’s clothes is a price-
less treasure, a crown to that husband, and
an ornament to her sex,”
Then Mr. Jones, chuckling to himself, lay
calmly down and slept the sleep of the just.
Storyettes.
[San Francisco Argonaut.]
A good story is told of one of the Roths-
childs. A son of his had oeen habitually
driven down to the city in the morning by
the same cabman, and invariably paid the
man a florin. One day the father himself
happened to hail the same cabman. At the
journey’s end he handed the driver only
eighteen pence. The man looked glum and
said: “Excuse me. sir, but your son always
gives me ?wo shillings,” “Ah,”- returned
the great financier, “he has a rich father,
you know, and I haven’t,”
There is a story which is characteristic
enough of Carlyle, though it does not place
his character in a very amiable light. Car-
lyle was asked to attend a meeting at the
West End for assisting distressed needle-
women, Sidney Herbert being in the chair,
or, at all events, present and taking an active
part in the above philanthropic movement.
When it came to Carlyle’s turn to speak he
said: “I can’t make out why so great a fust
is made about these women; they can’t sew,
and they can’t help themselves. If I had
my way I’d carry them to the edge of the
universe and just quietly drop them oyer
the side,”
The commercial traveler of a Philadelphia
house, while in Tennessee, approached a
stranger as the train was about to start,
and said: “Are you going on this train?”
“Iam.” “Have you any baggage?” “No.”
“’Well, my friend, you can do me a favor,
and it won’t cost you anything. You see,
I’ve two big trunks, and they always make
me pay extra for one of them. You can get
one checked on your ticket, and we’ll euchre
’em. See?” “Yes, I see; but I haven’t any
ticket.” “But I thought you said you were
going on this train?” “So I am. I’m the
conductor.” ‘ ‘Oh!” He paid extra, as
usual.
Good Exercise in Arithmetic,
[Chicago Times.]
Take a slip of paper and place thereon, in
figures, your age in years, dropping months,
weeks and days. Multiply the sum by two;
then add to the result obtained the figures
3768; add two, and then divide by two.
Subtract from the result obtained the num-
ber of your years on earth, and see if you
do not obtain figures you will not be likely
to forget.
Cowboy Pun.
[St. Paul Globe.]
“I shall never forget an experience of
mine in Montana a little over two years
ago,” said Brakeman Schultz, of the North-
ern Pacific. “There were Andrews, the
conductor; Wylie, the engineer; Colby, the
fireman, and myself running No. 3 pas-
senger on the Montana division, and one
night about dark we were getting out of
Mil. 3 City when a red light was seen by the
engineer, and he stopped the train. Just as
it stopped about a dozen cowboys, togged in
full uniform, each with a brace of revolvers
in his belt, got into the coaches, while a few
more guarded the engine. I knew trouble
was coming as scon as I saw them get on,
and I took a seqt among the passengers.
The conductor did not at first seem to real-
ize that anything was wrong, but went to
the forward part of the coach, when half a
dozen of the buckskin-clad boys grabbed"
him, and set him upon the coal boxs He
protested, but the boys paid no attention
other than to tell him not to move a finger,
as they were going to shoot the heels of his
boots off. 1 rather enjoyed ths fun. though
I lay mighty close, fearing that they would
notice me, but they didn’t before the con-
ductor was short the heels of his boots. He
■was white as a snowflake, but he held up
bravely, fearing a miscalculated shot.
Then they caught me, and tied me and a
passenger back to back, and set us over a
seat, and then commenced betting among
themselves which would pull the other
over. The stakes were put up, and
then two of them got prongs and began
touching us up with them. The fellow I
had pitted against was a Swede, and neither
of us had any show to pull the other over.
Then I resorted to a stratagem, and when
they gave the Swede a prong and he jumped
about a foot, I pulled hard and he came fly-
ing over the seat, and went so far over that
he nearly broke my back. We were loos-
ened then, and they took the Swede’s boots
off and stood him on his head, and then
played the bastinado on the soles of his feet.
Well, you’d died laughing to hear that poor
Eellow bellow, entreat, pray and cuss those
cowboys, and although my legs were smart-
ing with some dances I got, I just roared.
After they had done mischief enough they
shot out the lights and left the train.”
She Will Be His Mother-in-Law.
[Council Bluffs Nonpareil.]
There is a young man in this city, a good-
looking young fellow, who has a sweet-
heart out in the country a few miles, and he
spends two evenings every week in her so-
ciety. A few nights ago he stayed to the
asual hour, and as he passed out the front
ioor he discovered that it was cloudy and
lark. He did not relish the idea of driving
alone through the gloomy night, and hinted
about a good deal to get any invitation to
remain, but it was not forthcoming.
But the young man was equal to
the emergency. Going down the
steps he artfully contrived to slip and
fall gently to the ground. Thereupon
he set up a tremendous groaning. The ruse
worked admirably. The girl screamed, the
men folks jumped out of bed and carried
the young man tenderly into the house. His
horse was put up and he was assisted to un-
dress and deposited in the spare chamber.
He had hardly begun to chuckle over the
success when tne girl’s mother put in an ap-
pearance, armed with a mustard plaster a
foot square and ten-horse drawing power.
This she immediately proceeded to clap on
the small of the young man’s back, where
he had incautiously located the damage to
his frame. For two mortal hours that wom-
an sat by the bed, and was not satisfied till
she beheld with her own eye a blister an inch
deep. The young man is now a reformed
liar. _________
He Had Figured It Out. r
[Detroit Free Press.]
The other day a middle-aged man, who
betrayed the fact that he was a stranger In
the city, appeared at the Central mar Let
and purchased and ate a dozen pears. These
were followed by a dozen plums, and, after
a brief rest, by half of a large watermelon.
He then took some lemonade and bought
same candy, and sat down to wait until his
stomach could take in something more. In
a little while he was noticed to be uneasy,
and soon after that he inquired for a doc-
tor.
“Anything wrong?” asked the stand
keeper.
‘ ‘Got cholera morbus. How much will it
cost me to see a doctor and get a cure?”
“Oh, about $3.”
“Just what I figgered on before I left
home—just exactly. I’ll have seventy-five
cents left, and you hold on to that cocoanut
until I confe back. I want to finish off on
cocoanut.”___j_
The Nervous Woman in the Sleeper.
[Chicago Herald.]
In one of the berths was a man and his
wife. She was one of those nervous, cau-
tious creatures. She was all the time
afraid she had lost something, or the cars
would run off the track, or they wouldn’t
get up early enough next morning to get off
at their station. She kept up her nagging
after she got in bed, and, though we
wouldn’t hear what she said, he grunted
miserably every few seconds and we knew
by that she was still at it. Finally she
dozed off to sleep and all was quiet in her
berth. Everybody was glad, But in less
than ten minutes she started up, and every-
body in the car heard him groan as she
poked him in the ribs and shouted:
“William, git up! I know you’ve left
the doors open and forgot to close the
kitchen windows. ”
A Hint to Wives.
[New York Sun.]
Wife (at the breakfast table)—What time
was it when you came in last night, dear?
Husband (with an aching head)—Well-er,
I don’t know, exactly.
Wife—It must have been 3 o’clock. Were
you detained at the office?
Husband—Er-yes,
Wife (anxiously)—I’m afraid you are
working too hard, dear. You ought not to
confine yourself so closely to business. I am
not surprised that you have a headache oc-
casionally in the morning. You really
must take better care of yourself. By the
way, dear, can you let me have $30?
Husband—Certainly, with pleasure.
He Meant It, Too.
[David Swing, in The Current.]
A simple-hearted and truly devout country
preacher, who had tasted but few of the
drinks of the world, took dinner with a high-
toned family, where a glass of milk punch
was quietly set down by each plate. In
silence and happiness this new Vicar of
Wakefield quaffed his goblet, and then
added: “Madam, you should daily thank
God for such a good cow S’*
Why His Hat Sank, ^
[Boston Courier.]
A partially intoxicated man fell over-
board from a boat the other day, and after
being fished out of the water looked around
and asked:
“Where’s my hat?”
The hat was nowhere to be seen.
“I guess,” said one, “it must have sunk.”
“I wonder what made it sink?” the owner
grumbled. ^
“Probably because there was a brick
in it.”
There was no more said.
