QUEER BOOKKEEPING.
TXic Primitive. TJut ArcunUo Method o!
a Dakota Landlord.
There are more ways of keeping- ac-
counts than that which prevails in
business and which needs ledgers
cash books and single and double en-
try. Sometimes in little country stores
the proprietors of which know nothing
about bookkeeping and probably just
as much about lltfiircs the accounts of
customers arc kept as correctly as they
could be by a graduate of a business
college.
An old resident of Dahcrta recently
told a story illustrative of this primi-
tive but accurate method of book-
keeping. "There used" he said "to be n miin
in Yankton whose system of keeping
accounts was wonderfully eflicient.
He kept a hotel and he could neither
read nor w.ite. lie did not know how
to spell his own name but he did a
thriving business and collected v-very
dollar of his accounts.
"Once years ago when I first came
to this eountry I went to his hotel
and stopped there two weeks. "When
I left he presented me with a state-
ment of what I owed him and it was a
curIosit3. lie had copied it from his
ledger. At the top of the sheet there
-was the. rude picture of a soldier on
the march and after it three straight
marks. Then there was a scene show-
ing a man at table eating. Then ap-
peared a bed with a man in it. In the
amount column there was a picture of
a doll and after it the two letters RS.
After the picture of the nmn enting-
there were forty-two marks.' After
the view of the man in bed there were
fourteen marks. I looked at the ac-
count then at the proprietor and told
iiitn it would take me a week to an-
swer the conundrum. I was complete-
ly stumped and when that hotel man
"deciphered the account for me it was
this:
"The picture of the soldier walking
meant March and the three marks
supplied the date March It when I be-
gan boarding. The man "at the table
with forty-two marks indicated thnt I
had eaten forty-two meals. The man
in bed with fourteen marks showed
that I had slept in the house fourteen
eights. The doll with KS after it
meant 'dollars' and in the figure col-
umns appeared the figure? 14 which
was the amount I owed him. And it
was a true bill."

Eight little boys got on a street-car
in a bunch and it was j-oon demon-

tnlked to them and asked all sorts of
questions and they responded willing-

to be the butt of the other seven. "So

"Yes" answered three of the boys at
.the same time. "Then you are regular
little canaries." said the lady. "I'm a

told what kind of a bird he was. The

THE visitor's depar-

the tent without the least misgiving
as to my reception by him.
"Rex" who was always allowed to
run loose came forward to meet mo.'
He allowed me to stroke his head and
bo far as I could see &howed no inter-

tent and took a drink of the tea. But
when 1 started to leave the tent with
the kettle in my hand imagine my as-
tonishment when I saw the supposed
friend Rex facing me and showing his
teeth in a very threatening way. I put
down the kettle seated myself on tho
edge of the camp-bed and spoke to
him. He wagged his tail and looked
to friendly that I thought I must have
made a mistake about his intentions.
Not at all. The moment I attempted
to leave the tent with the kettle 1 had
reason to know that Rex's broad grin
was no mere notion but on the con-
trary a real sign that he Avas true to
his trust as he understood it.
I talked to him again set down tho
kettle and attempted to leave without

doubts and determined to give his
masters the benefit of them. There
was no help for it; I was held prisoner
and could do nothing but sit down and
wait patiently for one of the party to
como to my relief. No one came until
nearly an hour later by which time

DOGS AS SOLDIERS.
Regularly Enllated in tho A in balance
Corp of the Germany Army.
The time-honored injunction to "Let
slip the dogs of war" is being given a
new meaning in Germany. That
country is leaving nothing undone to
make its army organization the most
perfect in Europe and among the
preparations for the next campaign is
a regular system of dog drilling. The
dogs have been trained to go with the
ambulance corps seek out the
wounded bring them water and help
to draw them on little hand-carts to
the field hospital. They perform all
these services with intelligence and
skill.
They are now attached to some of
the regiments as regular four-footed
soldiers. The first lesson which they
have to learn is silence. They are
taught to repress the outbreak of bark-
ing and to replace this mode of signal-
ing by a low growl audible only to
their friends. This is a difficult les-
son; but a more tedious one has to fol-
low. This is to teach the dog that
men are friends and enemies and that
the way to distinguish them is b' tho
color of their trousers. Soldiers are
dressed up In French and Russian uni-
forms and made to whip the dogs
while soldiersin German uniforms aro
told off to pet the canino recruits and
regale them on sausage.
The dogs render good service at the
outposts on account of their quick
sense of hearing; and they are also
trained to carry dispatches in a leather
satchel which is buckled on the iron
collar they wear.
Gray Pomeranians make the best
soldier-dogs on account of their great
muscular strength their quickness in
learning and their unobtrusive color.
For ambulance service however Prof.
Bungartz the animal painter who is
interested in this branch of the Red
Cross society and has himself trained
many dogs for it declared that Scotch
collies are the best breed.

One da an old gentleman who found
the Java village very absorbing at

"It's powerful nice to watch" he
said "but I may say I should be better
on't if I was a trifle better posted. My

"Oh" said the young man with -tho

This is the record 'of Micaaal
OLcary. drunkard. loafer aad tramp
as notched in a bit of stick' by kiaaself
and told while Micaaal waa waitiag ia
the ante-room of a police court for ar-
raignment. As lie stood there leaaiaf
wearily against the wall nervously
fingering his wooden bit of personal
history he was 'an object to attract
notice. x '
A man fifty' .years old with fray
hair a wrinkled good-natured sharp
face deep set eyes generally half
closeda high nasal voice rising ab-
ruptly at the close of each sentence as
if he expected that somebody was go-
ing to contradict him and proposed to
rmakc trouble if anyone did and a
manner of preternatural gravity the
heritage of his previous day's debauch;
such was the man who gave his unique
autobiography to the reporter.
"Nineteen times to the island in
'leven year. Nineteen times in 'leven
vear an' every time for six months.
To-day'll be the even twenty an' that'll
be six months too. An' me whomignt
'a' been a.cddicatcd man makin'laws
instidof breakin' 'em. There it is all
on my little notch stick-cut in good
and deep to remember by. That's the
record of Mike O'Leary- Old Mike wot
has give the po-llcc many a good racket
in his time. Man an boy I've been the
roun's of the stations an courts but it
wasn't till '.long in '83 that took up a
votin' residence on Blackwell's island.
It's all -on my little notch stick here
'leven years of itl".
Mr. OXoary held up his stick and ex-
amined it carefull3 Then he put his
thumb in the first" notch and continued:
"Notch number one. That was 'a
bird that drunk was. I got it New
Year's day 1883 an' I kept it up for
two weeks. I was a mechanic then an'
had money but I ain't worked since.
After I'd been jagged for two weeks I
got into Harlem court one mornin be-
fore the judge came an' went to sleep
in his chair. It took three cops an
the two scrub women to get me out an'
there wasn't much left of the judge's
chair when we got through. He sat in
a ordinary cvery-day cane chair an'
sent me to the island for six months.
That's what that notch stands for.
"That saved me the trouble of swear-
in' off. I got kinder acquainted over
to the island an' used to the place an'
when I got out in the summer I felt
homesick so I went on the brace an'
some sucker give me a dollar. I slop'
solcr that night in tiie Chatham
square lodgin'. Next day it was hot-
spiced rum an' nickel whisky an'
a jag that lasted over night.
Then I went to roost in the gutter an'
woke up in the Oak Street station. It
was six months an a game of talk from
the judge thrown in free. That's what
that nick in the sticjc means with a big
1) an' a P. opposite. That I) means
drunk an' .the 3 is for the days I tvas
out. Then them two notches next is
drunks too. One I was out four da-s
an' the other two.
"Next time I got out I didn't scarce-
ly get a smell of air for jus' as I
climbed out the boat I struck some old
pals an' we went to a gin mill close by
to celebrate. I was in the jug before
night 'cause I started out to swim
back to the island an' tried to lick two
cops wot pulled me out an' then pulled
me in. Six months for that an' afer
that a vacation of near a week. For
six days I was sober as the judge- that
sent me upj then I was in the ban's of
my frien's an then in the ban's of the
police.
"That wasn't nothin' new an' after
I'd served out 1113' term I got the twin
of it after bein' out two days an' a
night. That's all in them notches.
Them is all drunks. I hit a new line
next time. M'licious mischief they
called it but I don't see nothin' so
m'licious in throwin' a rock over your
head an' bavin' it go through a plate-
glass winder. The judge did. though.
He seen it for six months on ray 'count
an' that when I told him I'd only' been
out for one day. He said it didn't make
no difference. That mada me hot. I
said when 1 got out I'd be sober an'
sober I was for six months on the island
and six months more after I got out.
One full year with never a ball. That's
wot that long lnc cut in opposite that
ninth notch racai... I was up the state
workin on a farm then. I'd 'a' been
there yet on'y they gave me a vacation.
I came to the city an' my frien's found
me. That settled me. Another sixer
for gettin' drunk an' half kiliin' a Dago
because he wouldn't 'let me warm my
feet in his peanut roaster. I'd got the
hang of stickin' it out then an' I put
another loner line opposite that notch.
See it? That's four months sober an'
it's the last time I beat a week. Drunk
an' disorderly that charge was.
"I was out near seven days after
that" but I was drunk all the time.
That wasn't what they sent me up for
though. It was for carry in' a concealed
weepon. Sec that little carvin' of a
pistol opposite that 'leventh notch?
That's him. But there wasn't nothin'
concealed about that weapon. Not on
your life. I was wavin' it roun' my
"head an' yellin' that drunk as I was. I
would make any son-of-a-gun that tried
to say anything to me think he was a
sieve. Say I was a drawin' card for
one-half hour but I got dizzy an'
dropped the gun an' they nabbed me.
After the six months I got for that I'
was a free an' equil citizen or two
days. Then there was three more jag
terms anyou'll find six days' an' six
days' an' seven days' vacations marked
alongside of them.
"Notch No. 1G. That's next an' I
come within one of breakin' ray record
an' gettin' on'y four months. Disor-
derly conduc was the charge. A feller
that I used to know had turned me
down when I ast him the price of a
drink. I was half jagged then an' I
went out on thecorneran cussed every
man woman an' child in the United
States black and blue. As I was hol-
lerin' my loudest up come a cop.
" 'What are you doin' there?' says
ae.
" 'I'm gettin rid of my extra feel-
in's' says I. 'What d' you spose I'm
doin'. practisin for a prayer-meetin?
You're a blamed fool.' says I to him if
you can't tell that I'm swearin' an'
swearin' hard. Or may be you're deef
hey? i
"Then I let out a few triple-jointed
cuss words at him an' he jugged me.

CHLORAL'S ARMY OF VICTIMS.
Trot. TjrndaU'a Death lias Called Atten-
tion to a Crowlnc Evil.
The manner of Prof. Tyndall's death
is inexpressibly sad. He was killed by
an act of devotion on the part of his
wife. She had nursed him during his
long illness with a care which one of
the medical witnesses said was almost
unexampled yet it was her hand which
by an act of pure inadvertence admin-
istered the draught that caused his
death. Yet after all itVwas but the
immediate cause for the close of chlo-
ral .which Mrs. Tyndall gave him in
mistake for another draught might
have had no fatal effect on a stronger
man. Prof. Tyndall was both old
and infirm; his system could not
resist the poison. If anything
could mitigate the feeling of sorrow
which this most unhappy mischance
must occasion it would be the heroic
fself-possession of both the victim and
his wife. Mrs. Tyndall seems to nave
acted with the greatest promptitude as
soon as she discovered her mistake
and the sufferer himself set her the ex-
ample by immediately suggesting the
use of such remedies as were at hand.
Yet he felt that he was doomed. "My
poor darling" he said when he learned
what had happened "you have killed
your John." He had little time to say
more when the sleep fell upon him
which was to be the sleep of death. It
would be difficult to imagine a more
affecting situation the brave man
fighting against 'his doom until the
stupefying effects of thearug stretched
him helpless; the afllictcd wife fever-
ishly turning tlie pages of the medical
works in the library to find an anti-
dote. The doctors came up promptly
as they had been summoned and they
labored throughout the whole day by
the bedside. At one moment they
were cheered by a gleam of hope. The
patient rallied sufficiently to recognize
those about him. and perhaps to bo
aware of the efforts they .were making
to save his life. But a relapse followed
and the mind which no- natural in-
firmity was ever able to obscure felt
the darkness of death. His fate sad as
it is is enviable compared with that of
her who survives him. No tragic poet
ever imagined a heavier accumulation
of woe than has fallen upon her head.
Her bereavement in itself is one ol the
greatest of all sorrows. The peculiar
manner of it will win for her the deep-
est commiseration of every feeling
heart throughout the world.
Prof. Tyndall will serve his fellows
in death as in life if his mournful end
should direct attention to the growing
evil of the abuse of narcotics. The act
by which his death was determined was
one of pure mischance which can only
be deplored. But the practice of tak-
ing'hypnotics. and particularly chloral
as a relief from pain is one distinctly
within tho control of the will and it
can hardly fail to receive a wholesome
check from this conspicuous example of
its dangers. Prof. Tyndall had taken
sleeping draughtsof one kind or other
for years. His "usual" according to
Dr. Buzzard was one and a half tea-
spoonfuls every night It had evi-
dently becomes a habit with him even
m-re'than a necessity: or it was a ne-
cessity only because it was a habit.
Yet we have the authority of
the British Medieal Journal in an
article devoted to this particular case
for the assertion that ninety-nine
in the hundred of these sleeping doses
are worse than useless "even for any
purpose of relief worthy of the name.
"Insomnia" we are told "is not a dis-
ease but a symptom" and it is the
clear duty of every sufferer to ascer-
tain the cause with a view to its re-
moval by legitimate treatment Of all
the empirical treatments that by chlo-
ral is probably the worst The tempo-
rary relief which it affords tends to di-
vert the attention from more radical
.measures. 1 lie suam soiaire oeing al
ways at hand the true one is never
sought Chloral has slain its thou-
sands before this; it ought not to claim
as many more victims before it is laid
aside forever. Or if it does this trreat
national 'loss we have just sustained
should be held equivalent for the pur-
pose of warning and example to the
total count London Daily News.

They require a great deal of stewing
and should be like a marmalade' when
done. When they arc broken and the
juice comes out stir in one pound of
brown sujar. When they arc thor-
oughly done put them into a deep dish
and set them awaj--to get cold. You
may strain the pulp through a collan-
der into a mold and when it is in
firm shape send it to tible on a glass

Tho Unsociable. f
We envy neither the men nor the
women who can not speak to a fellow
creature out of their own circle or U
anybody without the formality of ar.-
introduction. Thero is no computing-
the amount of profit as well as pleas
ure such persons lose by hedging
themselves in with this stupid fence (t'-:
fastidiousness. We have always fount
more of this feeling among persons
who were more touchy on their soci:
position than among those self-respecV
ing persons who thought nothing
about it A great deal of intelligence
Is floating round the world without be-
ing labeled and those men or women
who have the good sense to recognize
this factandactupon it not only are ed-
ucating themselves but conferring that
pleasure which we are all bound by
the common ties of humanity to e.-
shange with one another. It seems ti
us that it is only the snob and prter -der
who take a 14fl.rent view of thLi
question. N. Y. Ledger.
A Word to Young 31 en.
One of the meanest things a youn ;
man cau do is to monopolize the tinii
and attention of a young girl for.!.
year or more without any definite oic
ject and to the exclusion of other jre;-
tlemen who supposing him to hao
matrimonial intentions absent thcitf-
helves from her Meiety
Thissc'i:
h.
'doir-in-the-iunnjfer" way of proceed
ing; should lie discountenanced and fo- '
bidden by all parents and guardian . i
It prevents the reception of eligible of-
fers of marriage and fastens upon tl e
younr ldy when the acquaintance is t
linally dissolved the unenviable ard j
unmerited appellation of "tiirt." Lt i
all your dealings with women youivr
man be frank honest and noble. Tlifit
many whose education and position (n
life would warrant our looking- for
better things are culpably criminal n
these points is no excuse for your shot- j
comings. That woman is often in- '
iurcd or wronged through her holiest
feelings adds but a blacker dye to 3'O'ir
meanness." N. Y. Ledger.
