He was malting a trap, and it worked. "It linpH'iied that as he wus coining down out of the main range three road agents stepjied from the rocks Inside the road and hud him cornered before he could whistle. They were armed with shotguns as well as machetes, but for some reason did not shoot before they spoke, as not infrequently happens. They invited Mnc to get down, and he did par- force. Then one of them took the big re volver from the holster. 1 'Good. It is big,' said he. 1 'Yes,' stiid .Mao, 'but it's a worthless thing after all. I never want to kill any one. 1 only carry it because 1 must make people think I urn armed.' The bandits laughed at that. It was incredible that such a pistol should be worthless, and they said so.

Tho Chinese, who, according to their histories, invented everything before anybody else, claim the merit of having first designed playing cards nnd devel oped the games arising out of them. The Emiwror Soun-Ho had many wives, who nuturully found time hanging heavily oti their hands, so the eiujieror devised auiuBcuient for them by iiiventingcards that is, if we are to put any belief in the words of the Chinese historians. There were 80 cards in each of his packs three suits of nine each and three extra or su perior cards. The Chinese cards were oblong as ours are, while those of the Hindoos were round. Surprising though it may seem, it is nevertheless truo that the queen in our suits is a comparatively modern innova tion. The picture curds were at first entirely military king, knight and knave.

COTiONKL OUt A KDKAU. In Albituiuen, N. M., there lived sev eral yenrs bo an old genlleinim named Clay Benton Oirurd?an, who hailed from Missouri. As is well known, it was considered tiiigentlemaiily in the early days in Arizona, New .Mexico and Texas to ask a mini liis real imnie. We accepted the names that were given. Albituiuen was a town before the railroad got there, before tho United Btates acquired the territory. Whut I am about to relate happened in the now town, the one built around the railroad Ho was both politician nnd lawyer, ami gut his living by either or lsith, but was more given to talking in linrrooms tnau to talking for his clients in courts. I'nlike most men who went west in those days, Colonel Girardeau carried no pistol said that he did not believe in carrying one, that he had too little money to fight a highwayman for, and as to fighting others, there was always the code duello for that. If you have ever been to Albituiuen yon doubtless remember tho Star of the West saloon, near the stution, where one can get drink, food or a game at any hour of the day or night. "Everything is ojien," said the colonel to us in describing the pluce; "every thing is done iu view of all, and no ono thinks the less of u mau for taking a cocktail before break fust any more than he does for taking bivukfast, nor does one lose casto by playing at faro or any game of chance. Money is earned to lie spent in u jolly, generous fashion, and the way a gentleman wants to spend his money is the way u gentleman ought to sM'nil it. I n'ns burn, gentlemen, in St, Louis fifty-eight years ago. It was a town then. Now it's like Philadelphia unlit, gentlemen, for a man of spirit to livo iu. "When Kt. Louis began to put ou a silk hat on Sunday 1 left the place, the home of my birth, nnd went to Kansas. Then Kunsus begun to improve, as the preuchers say, and 1 quit, I've been coming west since then, and now I've been in Albituiuen two years, nnd it's what this saloon is, gentlemen. It's the Star of tho West. You can drink and gimiblo every day in the month und no one says a word. Yes, gentlemen, tins town is the healthiest, happiest town in the world. It has only one blot. They don't beliovo in the code duello. They believe iu the Bhoot ou sight principle. It's wrong, gentlemen wrong. The duel permits of a gentleman making his will or declining nn invitation to dinner or paying his bill." After luncheon 1 met the colonel again. Somehow 1 spoke about the code duello. "By the way," said the colonel, "1 hnve nn iiffnir on hand tomorrow." "What!" said 1, greatly astonished. "Yes," ho answered. "Some fellows insulted mo lust night, and this morn ing I sent a chullengo to all three and wo fight tomorrow ut daybreak. Dr. X. will be our surgeon. Won't you attend ns n witness or as an assistant? "As un outsider," 1 replied, still greatly surprised, "but nut ns un as distant or us a witness. I am duo in Washington on the 1'Jtli.'' "Tho habit of this country," continued the colonel, "is the barbarous one of shooting on sight, or telling your adver sary to go heel himself and then begin shooting when you seo each other. 1 tell everybody that I believe in the code duello, und in thut only for revenging wrongs und insults. I must now go to my otlico to nrrunge somo papers. If 1 do pot see you again before then, be ut the railroad station, where your Pull man is, a little before daybreak, where my second nnd 1 will pick you up and take yon to tho ground. But wait; let us have another drink before we part." I must tell here what 1 did not know till sttbseiiucntly. For somo time the t'ulonel had been a source of much laughter to the frcqucuturs of the sa loons on account of his innocent pecu liarities, and especially on account of his strong aversion to shooting on sight and equally strong predilections in favor of dueling. Five of the railroad bands were iu the Star of the West the night liefore I arrived, laughing ubout "OKI Clay," when one proposed thai they get up .1 duel wit ! Mm. One could appear to take his side and could then act as his second: another could be a little apart and In' a witness, and could lie called upon ns their second, ami three could insult the colonel, if the colonel took the insult nnd did not funk.nstliev thought he would, then the seconds could fix up the pistols, extracting the bullets and replacing them with painted jmper wads. They were much surprised when the colonel not only took up the insults, but challenged all three to tight him simul taneously. The meeting was arranged for, and the seconds went away to pre pare tho cartrnlges. ami. m we Imv.i seen, the colonel gave up t lie afternoon to arranging his p-iers and writing let ters. lr. X., of the town, Oirardeau and I were the only ones not in this miserable practical joke. Next morning about daybreak they picked uienpnud took me to the ground, about a mile from the station. The sec onds had brought the four pistols under their overcoats. It was quite chilly. When we reached tho place they put down the pistols and began measuring off the distance thirty-five paces, I think, they made it; long ones too. While they were so occupied the colonel went np to wnere tne pi9tois were and beWlln examining them, not closeli he n elileil more to In' I'mnlliug tllelll. What truck me as strange at the time was that his ndveroiiries and the seconds watched him closely. Suddenly the colonel utood up, und in a loud und stalely voice said, looking toward hiRopponeiiti: "Oeiillemeii, il seems to me markedly unfair lowato two of you that yon stand fronting mo in a row, us my second tells me has been urraiigeii, .Noiv, when 1 shoot, I of course must ehoo.o one of you, and as I may K''t killed on the first shot it is munifestly unfair that two of you should not have I lie chance of being killed by Hi". 1 lie one l shoot at will Ik killed cerliiinly. 1 mil an expert Now, gentlemen, allow me to suggest to Mr. (lillaii, who is lioth taller and broader than either Mr. O'Farrell or Mr. Schrader, that he stand in the rear; that Mr. O'Farrell, who is next in size, stand in front of Mr. Oilliin, and tiiat Mr. Kchradcr.who is diminutive, stand in front of both nnd all stand close up. In that way you can all shoot one over the other, and each ono may thus have a chance of getting shot iu cuse my car tridgn is heavily loaded with powder." They all acceded immediately. There was a pause, The colonel was looking away, thinking. Of a sudden he turned around, mid lifting his hut suid, "With your srmission, gentle men;" then took up a pistol, cocked it and aiming quickly at an oyster can about fifty yards off fired. The can was not hit. I heard him mutter, "This is strange." Ho cocked the revolver again again fired. "What, not even dust'f' I heard him say. Again he cocke.l tho revolver, then aimed and fired. Nothing. "Gentlemen," he said, turning around, "there is something wrong here, but fortunately 1 have some 4 l-calilier car tridges iu my coat enough to loud ull four ttnns," and he walked toward his overcoat. The two seconds nnd the three princt pals looked at each other. When they saw the colonel pull out a box of car tridges they turned around siimiltane oiibly and ran up the road, toward the bend, the curve in the track. The colonel hud his bank toward the runners, and wus so occupied throwing out the empty shells thnt he did not hear them going, tho doctor and I alone r niainiiig. Suddenly he yelled: "Blank cartridges! Fraud, by !" and turning around he suw them dis- apiieuring. He grublied a few cartridges out of the box and started ufter them loading us he run. Then we suw him stop aim fire then firo again. We saw his second givo a lunge; then we heard his yell; then we saw him run faster than liefore. The colonel sent another shot after them, but they were too far. Then ho returned to ns. We examined all the pistols. All were loaded with powder nnd pajper wads. Uirardcau was white with auger. "This insult I shall never forgive." He grabbed iiis box of cartridges and slurtcd after them, loading his pistol ns ho went. We followed. When we reached the crest of the hill they saw us and started on again. When they suw ns still coming they continued np tho truck on a run, one limping badly. We suw them flag a freight train, and as it slowed up they swung on. We then returned to town. 1 left next morning for Washington, having requested Dr. X. to write me the particulars of the outcome. Here is the letter: .Mr Dk.UI Silt-About tlireo Uuys after sou left, overtures were made to Olrunleati to show the men to return.

"I thought not," tali! he, as lie politely opened the door to let her pass out. "Mudum, jour husband for your alike can return w-ith perfect dnfot y so far as I am concerned, but the others return ut the rink of their lives or mine. Uood day." Uillan bus returned.

"To you personally or to the world" "To the world." "Then tell the world this: 'Do uot monkey with Missouri.' " With kindest regards from the colonel and myself, yours sincerely, X.. M, 1).

It is expected that every hotel with fifteen or twenty miles of the mountain can be illuminated at night from the summit when the beam is thrown upon them. It is claimed that the light will be seen on clear nights from 100 to 150 miles from Mount Washington. Six different lenses will be used in the Way of coloring the beam of light, thus introducing the prismatic colors, mak ing a display that will put the so called northern lights into a secondary position as regards brilliancy. The movement of the light will bo controlled automatically by electric motors nt some distance from the lamp. Somo electric novelties will be introduced, including a diverging lens, which will produce a fuiitnil ap pearance and spread over a large terri tory in the vicinity of the moitntaiu.

Among the Clouds Old Teeth at Auction At a public auction held at West Chester, Pa., the other day, the personal effects of an eccentric old lady were sold, and among other curious articles was a collar box full of old teeth. All of the teeth had formerly adorned the mouths of relatives, none of whom was represented in the unique collection by more than one tooth each. The old luily, however, belonged to a numerous family, with extensive con nections and intricate ramifications, nnd by reason of this fact she was enabled without difficulty to obtain each of the mementos from different persons. Her plan was to ask her relatives for a souve nir of themselves in the shape of the next tooth they should have drawn. She quietly cultivated this odd fad for upward of fifty years, until the assort ment, comprising all s1i.iih.-s and sizes of cast off teeth, filled a round, old fash ioned collar box, holding perhaps a pint. When at the sale the auctioneer pro duced the novel exhibit and asked con fidently, "Who bids on this treasure?" he encountered a deul of rood natured chaffing from the audience, aud in the end secured only a bid of one cent, of fered by a quaint spinster of fifty-five. who carried off her prize in haste and triumph.

It Is Indeed a weird, stnuigc. nn linal and Is regarded with so much dread by tho supers! Illous Javanese that they wlllnlmniliin a place altogether rather than live In Its nelglilsiiliiHid.
