Hansbrough's Indian Story.
Senator Hans! tough of North
l1 kota tells a funny story of an
1- 'ian on the Heed's I.ake rrservn
: n. The Indian had paid a white
11 some money and wanted a re
< ipt. In vain the white man told
im that a receipt was tuinecessary.
"Me must have paper to show ow<
white man nothing," said the In
dian. "Why?" 'If me go to
heaven," replied tlie Indian, "good
I.ord a>k Injun where is receipt,
and what Injun going to do then:
Injun cant go all ovr hell looking
for y. u. The white man wrote
the receipt at once.
Courtship as a Fine Art.
It has long been suspected that
courtship has In-come, in the uppei
circles, at least, otie of the "los
arts." \\ uh the growth of civilian
tion it has gradually become nv>ri
and more neglected in its subtlei
phases till from being an art it has
degenerated into an industry .\\ hen
once men wooed maids with son
mis they now court them will
check hooks. Where formerly the
won them with a pat quotatiiu
from the classics they now w in then
with an apt quotation from Wal
street—both stock quotations, per
haps, but what a difference!
To restore love-making to it:
former rank among the tine arts :
C"o!'e ;e of Courtship has Ix ei
f uided at Atw o(m1 , ] cun., «il
though it might seem to be needed
in New York. There men will hi
ed .ated to propose and woinei
s> ' )led to dispose according to tin
bi-.-t traditions of olden times.
This is the fond hope of the
founders. Hut whether it will sue
cu d in bringing back those halcyor
days is a question. Cynics may di
etivs and social scientists speculat'
on the outcome, but only time wi'.i
tell. Meanwhile there is likely t<*
be in) lack of applicants for pro
fcss* irships.
A Churoh Member Since '74.
I)r. lames M Ludlow, now pas-
tor of the Munn Avenue Presbyter
ian church of East ()range, X. J.,

confession of faith into the Col le-
gate Reformed Dutch church at
Forty eighth street and Fifth ave-
nue, New York, on December 2<1,
1K74, during his pastorate there.

Judge W illiam Cole of Talcott,

pleted hi own funeral oration. It
is in verse and i to !*• read by
Judge \\ 111. Johnson at his burial.
"Ah, I see they are having a
game here. What do you say to
taking a hand?"
Mr. Crimmins begged to he ex
Cused, hut his companion replied.
"Well, I can't resist the tempta-
tion."
"You go ahead and play," said
Mr. Crimmins, "and I'll go in lor
lull."
As Mr. Crimmins expected, the
first play won and also the second,
and he was $10 ahead of the game
He quickly pulled his watch from
his pocket and said, "' v got to
leave you now, as I must catch a
train." Taking his half of the win-
nings he hurried from the building
and back to his hotel.

president promptly; "we will not
walk thirty miles. When you re-
turn we will walk forty-two miles
—exactly forty-two miles. Mind

a hearty laugh all around. After
a few more words with reference

Hasn't Education Helped Thom?
The records of the male ti'lent^
Richmond, Va., who were gradu-j
ated iu the ten years, have
now been added by the Richmond
Reformer to those of the graduates
of the past ten years. There were
seventy men in the !at<r period, j
eleven of whom have died . Tlu-
others are found to be iu various!
respectable occupations, doing cred
itably in the world. No criminals
or pan j h rs among the entire lot
are reported. In view of these
facts, the Reformer, an organ of
the colore! race, pertinently asks if
"education spoils the negro?"
