Show ' ; THE SALT LAKE TIMES, THUKSDAY, J UNK 5, 18U0. Worked Oot Hl Own Cnre. An Anglo-India- n officer of the Bengal artilH-- relates an anecdote of one of those soldiers who in military phrase are known as malingerers, but whom com-mon people would call shirks. A gunner named Tchabod Crabb went to see the hospital, authorities on the suUieot of ft strange affection of the back, which com-pelled him to walk somewhat in the ihape of a capital "C." "I ainTin no great pain," he said, " 'cept when I tries to stand herect, an' then my back seems to break clean in two. I couldn't stand up, not if my life depended on it." As there was heavy gun drill going on at this time Dr. Tritton formed his own opinion of the case and determined to let the man work out his own cure. He ordered Crabb's breakfast to be placed on a high cupboard in the wall, to reach which the patient would have to stand erect. At dinner time the cook reported Crabbs breakfast to be untouch-ed. "Put his dinner in the same place," commanded Dr. Tritton, and the treat-ment was continued throughout the day. The next morning when the doctor call-ed to see his patient he found that his prescription had been efficacious. .Crabb had eaten his supper and breakfast and declared himself fit for duty. "Cupboard Crabb," as he was afterwards called, confessed that he had tried to deceivi the "old doctor," but had found himself beaten. San Francisco Argonaut. Impune Lacessit. HAIL, CALEDONIA!

Borne Notes Regarding Matters of Interest to Everybody in General. It ww'not' till'1796'or 1707 that a hurch ws erected in Harpwsfield. It was built from contributions made by the inhabitants, each one furnishing ma-terial of some kind, such as hewn timber, boards, shingles, etc., being so very poor t the time that few could furnish any money. The same year a place was built called stocks, and a whipping post pre-pared by Isaao Pierce for the purpose of Inflicting punishment on any who had been charged with crime and found ipultyof the same by a jury. A good deal of curiosity was exhibited, espe-cially among the fair sex, to get a glimpse of the ordeal, and after they were completed Alexander Harper, who was fond of an innocent joke, invited bis wife to accompany him aud examine the stocks, which were so arranged that by placing the criminal's foot in and making it fast he could not escape. He therefore requested Ms wife to put her foot in, telling her that "that fool of a Pierce had made them, and they would not hold any one." She put in her foot and he tet down the block, locked the same fast and walked off amid the hearty laugh of the specta-tors and her own earnest entreaties, but soon returned and released her. It was, however, regarded as a rich jotye for many years afterward. Bnt one person was ever wliipped at the post, and he won left the county. It may be remark-ed in this place that three whipping posts were erected in Delaware county at about the same period the one al- -' ready mentioned, in Harpersfield, one on the place now owned by Thomas, but then in possession of Silas Knapp, who kept a grocery there for several years, and the other near Col. Dimmick's in Muldletown. There was bat one person whipped, as I have been able to learn, at either of the last named whipping posts. This person was one Turner, a carpenter by trade. The charge which was brought against him, and which he finally confessed, was stealing some fifty pounds of flonr be-longing to Ezra Hait, from Squire Rose's mill. After sentence was passed he was fastened in the stocks, which were con-structed of heavy plank, hollowed out above and below sufficiently to contain a man's legs when the planks were shut together. They were secured by a look. He was left in the stocks for a day, fur-nishing a good mark for the boys, who Showered him with rotten eggs. The next day he was taken out and fastened to the whipping post, when the remainder of his sentence, fifty lashes, way inflicted, when he was Allowed to leave the county, which he was not long in doing. Jay Gould's History of Delaware County. He Could Not Purr. A little girl who has just, begun the study of French has also been given a black poodle, straight from Paris, and though she is not especially fond of his native language she is tenderly attached to Jacques. One day she was trying to make him acquainted with the kitten which she held in her lap, advancing her from time to time toward his black nose, which Jacques held awkwardly in the air, embarrassed by so much attention. At luncheon the little girl gave her fath-er an account of the interview. "Kitty and Jacques had a beautiful time together this morning," said she. "At first kitty growled and he wouldn't look at her, but after a while he would let her touch his nose with hers." "I suppose they couldn't be very famil-iar at first, not speaking the same lan-guage," said papa. "No, bnt they got along beautifully at last. I shouldn't be surprised if Jacques was kitty's intimate friend before long." "What do yon suppose they'll talk about?" asked papa. "Oh, they'll have a million secrets! But I'll tell yon what I guess they said today, Kitty said to Jacques, 'Do yon speak English? and he said, '.No, je nt peux pas' (Je ne purr pas). I almost heard them, papa!" Montreal Star. Tricks of Horn Car Conductor!. "Even the best of us," he said, "some-times miss a fare in a crowd, but it doesn't happen often, and that is because we have thing down to a system. On all lines there are certain streets at which we start to go through our car to pick up nickels. Often I am in doubt as to who has not paid a fare, but I don't take chances of wounding any one's feelings by asking for it in that case. I merely meander through the car, stopping now and then before any one I suspect of not having anted up. The guilty person usually has pricks of conscience when I place myself before him and clears up all doubt by be-ginning to fish through his pockets for the nickel. That is one of the tricks, and it saves many harsh words, for almost n often as you ask a man who really has settled if his fare has been paid he will abuse you for intimating that he is try-ing to do the railway company. I have learned by experience that it is better to chip in a nickel ont of your own pocket than to go around asking for fares when you are in doubt, and most old time con-ductors will agree with me." Boston Herald. ' A Veteran Now Tramp.' , The queerest pair of tramps that Phil-adelphia people ever looked upon stood at the comer of Ninth and Walnut streets and begged alms from the passing throng. Both men supported themselves on crutches. One had only a stump of a leg, and the other mendicant's right limb was minus the foot and ankle. Their clothes were desperately shabby, and they seemed so utterly woe begone that the Italian bootblack offered them a dime, which was promptly accepted. Little else money came their way until the closing of the matinee at the Walnut street, theatre. Presently there came along a tall and well dressed man, who put a silver quar-ter into the palm of the one whose leg was closely shorn off. He had hardly made the gift before he wheeled around nd looked the recipient of it squarely ' in the face. "I ought to know you, my man," he said. "And I know yon, colonel," was the answer, "Were you not wounded at the battle of Charles City Cross Roads?" "I was shot there, but I fought it through and got my serious wound un-der your command on the morning that Gen. Lee surrendered." "Today is the anniversary of the sun render,"' said the colonel. He plunged his hand into has pocket aud drew out a pile of silver and some paper money. Selecting from the lot a $5 note, he pressed it into the hand of the veteran, who had turned mendicant, and wended his way up Walnut street. Philadel-phia Inquirer. Traveling Children. There is much written nowadays con-cerning the home amusement of children. Would it not be well if suggestions were offered for the entertainment of the little people while traveling? Any one who has made a long railway journey must have had her sympathies aroused for the tired little mortals, for whom no provi-sion had been made for varying the mo-notony of the trip. The mothers or aunts accompanying them were provided with books or knitting work, but the poor children had not even strings to play cat's cradle. No wonder that under these circumstances they fidgeted and wearied their companions until traveling with children was voted a bore. If a new pic-ture book, a pencil and paper, a game or a small doll had been provided, t be brought out at the first appearanco of rettlessness, the vote might have been different. New York Housekeeper. Coat of Incandescent Light. Some instructive data concerning the comparative cost of iucaudescent light-ing have been published. The average cost of maintaining a sixteen candle power lamp for twenty-fou- r hours was shown to. be 0.82 cents. A careful study of these data should be made by the owner of every office building. The total yearly average cost per lamp in a modern office building should not exceed ft, in-cluding every possible expense, aside from electric; or combination fixtures. New York Telegram. "You New Vlntlecl." A gentleman who lives out at Edgcv water was starting for town the other morning and he had occasion to cross the railroad track on his way to the station. Jogging along before him on the road was a peripatetic peddkr, who was evi-dently a Hebrew. The latter had a bony horse, which ambled along iu some way, and the wagon in which the peddler siit was a very rickety affair. The Edge wa-ter man heard the whistle of a train as the wagon neared the track, and he knew that the nioming express was due, but the Hebrew jogged on and apparently did not hear the train. As hia rig struck the track the engine of the express dashed by and caught the rear wheels. There was a cry and a crash. The Edge-wat-man rushed toward the crossing just as the bewildered peddler pulled himself away from the wreck of his stock iu trade. . Straightening himself up and gazing after the fast receding train, he shook his finger at the rear coach and aid, reproachfully: "You never vistled!" i Chicago Herald. Nerer Too Late to Mend. When a man arrives at middle age without choosing a wife it is generally safe to list him among the confirmed old bachelors. But the rule, if it is a rule, was broken the other day 'by Ernest Tripporsee, of Jersey City. At the age of 66 he laid siege to the heart of Widow Steinbaum, a staid old matron of 77. She conld not resist his ardent wooing, and they two were made one flesh hy Judge Ehrlioh, of New York city. Not "Well Intructed" in French. ' .
