SJJBLEY'S CLOSE CALL Big- Bat Tells an Amusing- Story of Ex-Congressman Finerty. ITun In the House Crook's Old Scout Charms Circle of Cou- IKre.ssineu—How Finerty Found Some Items for Ills ICOPVKICnT. 189J.1 There was a quaint party the House restaurant the other afternoon. It included J. liurke, better known as Arizona John; Congressman Geary, of California; Congressman McAdoo, of New Jersey, and Uaptiste Purier, better known to army officers as Big- Bat, an old scout of Gens, Crook, Miles and Terry.

He is here with the Sioux Indian delegation. Stories of ex- Congressman John Finerty, of Chicag-o, in order. Finerty was a member of the house of representatives paid great attention to Irish matters. jHe never missed an opportunity of twisting the tail of the British lion or of expectorating- tobacco juice into his teyes. He had an ardent sympathizer in IRichelieu Robinson, who then repre- teented a Brooklyn district.

McAdoo juays Robinson ivas coming- into the house one day when he met Finerty iwho was going- out. "What's being done in the house?" Robinson inquired. "Oh, nothing but some damned American legislation," was Finerty's response. Of course there was a roar of laug-hter. the astonishment of everybody, Big DBat began to tell a story about Finerty.

lit was told in the dialect peculiar to the Canadian French, trappers and excited preat merriment. The story is known In the north-west as "Lieut. Sibley's close call." It was about the time of the Custer massacre. The command rwas near Tongue river. Lieut.

Sibley detailed to go to the Crow nation bring back some Crows as scouts. 'Sibley's party numbered thirty picked men. Among them were Big Bat, Frank Gruard, chief of scouts, and Mr. Finer- 1y. Finerty was accompanying the column as a newspaper correspondent.

FUp to that time he nad been looking for items for his paper. As Big Bat expresses it: "He would come to me and say. you know for my papair. I to put something in my "Dis occurred a half a dozen times a I tell him: 'You see on de expe- pop, pop. come heavier and heavier.

I let him go. 1 want to save. my life. If I wounded, you have got to leave inc. If you wounded, we have to leave you.

You know what dat means. Any man wounded he left, and dat means worse dan Bat was right. A wounded man in savage warfare imperils the living, and there is no hope for him if he is left. Those who blame Gen. Forsythc to-day should remember that he had thirty- eight wounded people to carry from 'Wounded Knee, In the battle at Wounded Knee a sergeant received a fatal shot.

AN OLD-TIME OFFICIAL. He Has Filled Jinny PosItionH to Everybody's Satisfaction. James E. Young, executive clerk of the United States senate, was for many years one of the most popular men in Washington. He is a quiet, dignified, self-contained, honorable gentleman, a thoroughbred newspaper man, and absolutely reliable.

He is, however, now a bank president in Philadelphia, and seldom finds time to return to the scenes with which he was so long familiar, and of which he was such a prominent part. For awhile during the administration of President Arthur Mr. Young was chief clerk of the department of justice. He accepted that position solely to accommodate Ills friend, Attorney-General Brewster. During his incumbency of that position he made many friends for the attorney-general and for the administration.

As executive clerk of the senate, Mr. Yonnghas been for many years the custodian of the secrets of the executive sessions of the American house of lords. He has been present at every secret session, and has recorded the proceedings. It will be half a century or more before these proceedings will be published. The senate is exceedingly jealous of those occurrences and sayings which are kept from the world, in those executive sessions.

Very frequently the senators say things, and say them in a manner which would be considered undignified, in open senate. None but a most thoroughly trustworthy man can fill such a place. "BT GAB, DEI' ABE SIOTIS." dishon. You get someting den for your "We go for several hours. No Sioux In sight.

It has never yet been found in that way, and never will be while the world stands; and the sooner this truth is learned the better for every one. If you proposition, glance around among your friends and acquaintances, and select those who appear to have the most enjoyment in life. Are they the idlers and pleasure-seekers, or the earnest workers'? We know what your answer will be.

Of all the miserable human beings it has been our fortune, or misfortune, to know, they were the most wretched who had retired from useful employments in order to enjoy themselves. Why, the slave at his enforced labor, or the hungry toiler for bread, were supremely happy In comparison. Earnestly would we press young minds the truth we have stated. It lies at the foundation of all well-doing and well-being. It gives tranquility and pleasure to the vouth just stepping across the threshold of rational life, as well as to the man whose years are beginning to rest upon hie stooping shoulders.

New peopled regions are frequently less salubrious than older settled localities, on account of the miasma which rises from recently cleared land, particularly along the banks of rivers that are subject to freshets. The agricultural or mining emigrant soon learns, when he does not already know, that the Bitters afford the only sure protection against malaria, and those disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels, to which climatic changes, exposure, and unaccustomed or unhealthy water or diet subject him. Consequently, he places an estimate upon this great household specific and preventive commensurate with its- intrinsic merits, and is careful to keep on hand a restorative and promoter of health so implicitly to be relied upon in time of need. to25 DE.

Frank Baker, Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County, says: "In some respects it is a vast improvement over the English Britannica. The English edition contains no biographies of eminent Americans or Englishmen now living, and the biographies of those who are dead are less complete- These deficiencies are remedied in the Americanized edition, making: it an invaluable compcnd of facts absolutely essential to historical information. I- consider it a most valuable book in any way you look at it. For the man who- wantsJa book of reference for use I consider it invaluable. It is also a marvel of cheapness and an indispensable auxilary to every library." Lyman J.

Gage, President World's Columbian Exposition And vice president of the First National-. Bank, say: '-The movement, inaugurated to supply the people with the Americanized Encyclopedia Britannica is a marked indication of an advance in the intellectual taste of the community. GUnder' the easy conditions, of purchase of the work it ought to be in every'library, however humble." From, the Chicago Herald: -The Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica is a magnificent and valuable possession for every household. It presents for the first time a complete reference library at a price and on terms within reach of every; family." From Colonel Geo. Davis, Director General of the World's Fair: work is a most praiseworthy undertaking.

Any legitimate method, by which people are presented an opportunity foi- the purchase at a reasonable cost of works of standard literature or works of importance as the- means of acquiring a practical and substantial education deserves the fullest possible recognition. The Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica appears to- have met the requirements in all I commend the work with pleasure," E. St. John, General Manager of the Rock Island Rail- Road System, Expresses his conclusions in the following direct and emphatic language: "The remarkable enterprise in offering to the public on terms so inviting a work of such merit as the Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica can but result in benefit to every it. The Encyclopasdia needs no commendation.

Every page speaks for itself and attests its value." From the St. Louis Republic: "The Americanized Encyclopedia Britannica is not the Encyclopaedia, Britannica in its old form, but the Encyclopajdia Britannica Americanized and so Americanized to make it a thousand-fold" more valuable to American Readers than the English edition." Colonel Sexton, Postmaster of Chicago, says: "I think it is a valuable addition to the publications of the year. One feature of the book must suggest itself to all is, the comprehensive manner in which the topics are presented. Instead of being obliged to- read through a column of matter to get at the gist of the subject the latter is. presented in detail in the most condensed, concise and presentable from the start.
