Maybe, bat Not That Way, 'There isn't any kind of doubt that One Ear Dodge was an all round nuisance and Infernal aunoyance to the boys and maybe had right to be lynched, but it doesn't seem to me that I d have lynched him just the way they did," said Orrin Bovea of New Mexico. "It may be, too, that they didn't lutend to lynch him. But, anyhow, he was lynched, ami I mul then, and I say now. that it wasu t done exactly regular. "Dodge wanted to pass as a bad man the worst kind of a bad man but he wasn't, and that s what made him so unpopular. He couldn't originate anything bad at all. He could steal a horse or run off cattle, but he did it in the regular commonplace. sneaking way that every dirty Indian thief does it, and not by some stroke of genius that would have marked him as a chap worth cultivating. He could fill himself wit'i rum on the slightest provocation, but veti that never brought any spark of smartness out of him. "lie was a secondhand bad man. He was simply copyist, He carried this to such an extent that he even tried that hackneyed, played out, discarded bit of cowboy playfulness that was once look' 1 upon as tixiug at once the title of bad ni..u on the cheerful chap who tried it the forc ing of a tenderfoot at the point of a revolv er to drink liquor he didn't want. Dodge made an effort at this trick one night at Lordsburg. Instead of the tenderfoot trem blingly swallowiug the liquor he laid hands on Bob. He took bis revolver away from him and then good natumlly whacked one of the would be bad man's ears off close to his head with his burning knife. "After that Bob lost caste faster than ever. He became known as One Ear Dodge, and he got lots of hints that folks around there only wanted one thing to make them perfectly contented and happy, and that thing was Oue Ear Dodge's perpetual ab sence. But he wouldn't take hints and got to be a bigger nuisance than ever. There was abig cattle ranch just over the line in Old Mexico, and one day a lot of stray cat tle came strolling in among us. Their brands showed that they belonged on the Mexican ranch. One Ear Dodge had been unusually disagreeable for a day or two and was hanging around, ugly and broke. When the boys saw whose cattle the strays were, they said it would be a good thing to get One Ear to drive them back to their owner. The matter was suggested to him. " ' 'Sther anything in itf snorted Dodge. " 'Big reward in it, of coarse,' was the re ply. "The upshot of it was that One Ear got on his pony, rounded up the strays and started with them for their owner's ranch. After he had been gone an hour or so oue of the boys said, as if he had just happened to think of it: " 'One Ear will have to drive them cattle onto and across that Mexican range before be gets to the ranch, won't hef "The reply was that he would. " 'If any of them Mexican ranchers should see him doing it they might think it looked suspicious, mightn't they?' " 'Naturally they might,' was the reply. 'But maybe they won't see him.' "That was all there was said on the suL ject just then. One Ear Dodge didn't come back that day nor the next. Along toward night the next day some of the boys came together again. " 'Well,' said one of them, 'I guess they must 'a' Keen One Ear.' " 'Looks that way,' was the quiet reply. "Then the subject was dropped. Two or three days later word came from over the border that some Mexican ranchers had captured and strung up a one eared cattle thief, taken in the act. " 'Yes, they Been One Ear,' said one of the boys. 'I was afeerd maybe they would.' "And I said then, and I say now, that maybe One Ear bad a right to be lynched, but I wouldu't have done it that way. It wasn't regular." j ew York Bun. A y orld. I .fifes nss nerVant nf hia nr tiAennrn TEe hotel has some servants, but the guests do not depend upon them at all.

A STRANGE AFFAIR At a wayside It n, on the old road that then ran between Philadelphia and C , in the state of Pennsylvania, a very strange and curious affair occurred in the fall of 1797. One dark, rainy, disagreeable night a mounted traveler, well muffled tip in a great coat, with its broad cape turned-up over his head like a cowl, his chin ami lower part of his face buried in a large bandana handkerchief, and with a broad, black patch over his right eye, rode np to the tavern and called for supper and lodg ing. At the large fire burning in the chim ney of the barroom he sat and warmed ami dried himself while his meal was being prepared, without removing any of his gar ments, not even so much as his hat, and when the landlord at length announced that his repast was ready he simply re marked: "I have a severe pain in my face, so you must excuse my going to the table as I am." He ate his aupper in silence, and showed no disposition tor conversation, called for strong glass of brandy and water, and soon after asked to be conducted to his room, adding that he was very much fa tigued. "By the way," he said to the landlord, who in person lighted him to his bedroom, "I may as well leave my pocketbook and watch in your possession till morning," at the same time handing t hose articles to the host, who took them with some reluc tance, saying: "I reckon they'd be quite as safe here with yourself, though I'll keep them for you if you wish me to." - "You'll oblige me by doing so." relolned the stranger. , "Well, then, said the innkeeper, "I must know how much money you've got here if I've got to be responsible for it." "Please open the pocketbook. then, and count for yourself," returned the stranger. mL. i t. j'j , . a ne uosb um so ana saia: "I make it 315 . "Right." rejoined the traveler, "and while I'm about it I may aa well add this puree, wmcn contains fifty-one dollars in specie." The landlord also counted the coin. oart gold and part silver, said the amount was right and went out, bidding the other good night. About 3 o'clock in the morning a neigh bor living within a stone's throw of the tavern, and who chanced to be ud with a sick child, fancied he heard above the roar' of the storm, which had increased in vio lence, a wild shriek, followed bv two cries of "Help! Murder!" He was rather a timid man, and was much alarmed. He blew out his light. cautiously opened the door, looked out and listened. The storm beat into his face and howled around his dwelling, but he could see nothing, not even a light at the inn, and he heard nothing more that sounded like a human voice. He shut the door and fastened it, and then woke up his wife and told her all. She happened to be a woman of unusual nerve and courage, and after putting a few questions replied with a yawn: "Oh, Jim, it was only one of vour fan cies. You're always hearing something that nobody else doesl Just think how many times you've hunted the bouse over for robbers since I've lived with you! Just tend to Mary, will you, and let me get a little sleep, tor you know I didn't have any last night." "I know-it wasn't any fancy, but a real human ry!" grumbled the man as he walked awp and allowed his drowsy spouse to return to her dreams. The dull, leaden grai.jfca .aTUnon the outer Hnm nf his habitation. He sprung out of bed, hastily drew on his trousers and boots, took his waistcoat In his hand and hurried down to his supposed customers. On open ing tne uoor ne round himself confronted with two rough looking men, well muffled up against the storm, which as yet had scarcely abated in fury. Their horses, panting, splashed with mud, with droop ing oeaas, were nitcnea at tne nearest post, and showed by their looks that they had been ridden fast and far. "Did a mounted traveler stop at this inn last night," abruptly inquired one of the two strangers. "Yes," was the answer. "Is he still here?" "Heis." "Will you describe his appearance?" "As well as I can," said the wondering host, "for I didn't get to see much of his face." And he not only proceeded with the description of his person, but added al! that the traveler had said and done, in cluding the affair of the money. "I think we've got him this timet" said the one who had addressed the landlord, turning to his companion. "It looks like it," was the reply; "but he's no doubt a desperate fellow, and we'd better proceed with caution till we make all sure!" "Hark yon, landlord!" said the first speaker in a low tone; "a word in your private earl We are officers from justice, from Philadelphia, In pursuit of a bank robber, and we suspect your strange guest toouarg. to see anything distinctly. "I hope the fellow has not heard nsl" said one of the officers drawing a pistol, while the other produced a pair of hand cuffs. "I hope it won't be necessary to shoot, ffentlemenl" said the host with increased agitation. ' "We will all go np softly and try his door," said the officer with the pistol, "and if we find it fast perhaps it will be better for us to remain on guard and wait till he comes out himself." The host, light in hand, led the way, though with seeming reluctance, as if hot over courageous. On reaching the door, which the three parties had approached with light, stealthy steps, the landlord tried it very gently, and finding it unfas- siowS ffipdft went In, followed by the officers. The next moment the innkeeper exclaimed in a tone 01 alarm nd agitation: "Gracious heavenl what's the meaning of this?" The bed was tumbled, but vacant no traveler was there and the sheets and pil low cases were stained with bloodl The officers looked mescingly at each ther and then at the host, who, pale aud trembling, souk half fainting upon the sparest sent. For a few moment there was a deep and ominous silence, and then one of the officers said, slowly and with pointed emphasis: "Landlord, this is very strange!" "The st rmigext thing I ever knew!" fairly gasped the innkeeper, glancing around hltn in frightened bewilderment. "Where can the man have gone to! "And this blood too!" sternly chimed in the other ollicer. "V hat does this mean, if not some foul piny! "Oh, gent lenien," said the host in a low, tremulous tone, "I liow you don't suspect me, tor l in as Innocent as a child unborn. And now I rememler, too, when I went to the door to let you in I found it wasn't fastened, and I'm right sure I fasteucd it myself before I went to bed." "We certninly do suspect you. sir." said the other ollicer; "for how can we help it since the man is gone and you, as you have confessed, nave his mouey iu your posses sion f" "But lie gave me the money to keep for him," cried the frightened host, "and I've got it yet." "Undoubtedly you have, but that, you see, so far from proving you know nothing of the affair, only tends to make matters the worse for you." - remap ne s nnout Here yet some where!" suggested the innkeeper. "If he's a batik roliberand heard your knocks, he'd be quite likely to hide himself, or run away, I should think." The idea was worthy of atteution, and a search for the missing mail was forthwith begun. On looking under the bed blood was discovered on the floor, and the trail of this was found to lead out of the room, aown me stairs nuti out or the front door showing that the object of search, either living or deird, hud gone out of the house. Beyond the building there were no traces, for the storm had obliterated them. The hostler was called, the only other man about the House, but he appeared to be a kind of stupid fellow, and evidently knew nothing of the matter, and a look in the barn showed the stranger's horse still there. About an hour Inter the neighbor men tioned came over to the inn in great agita tion and alarm, snid there was the body of a murtiereu man lying by the roadside, and also stated what he had heard daring the night. All hurried to the scene of the tragedy, aud there beheld the hotly of a coarse featured man of forty, which the officers believed from its general appearance to be that of the villain they were seeking; but whether that of tiie stranger who had lodged at the cabin no one could tell. The body was covered with blood, and the man had evidently died from knife wounds in the breast. Throughout that thinly peopled section the news spread rapidly, and before night a large number or excited spectators, in cluding the sheriff, coroner and two mag istrates, had collected at the inn. Ad inquest was held and a verdict rendered in accordance with the facts; and, though there was no direct evidence against the landlord, yet suspicion pointed so strongly to him as the murderer, that he was taken into custody and committed for trial, In due time the trial came on, but the jury could not agree and were finally dis charged. A second trial resulted like the first, and the innkeeper, whose name was Williams, was kept in prison over a year. How the nffair would have eventually terminated had the mystery not been cleared up in an unexpected manner it is impossible to say, but ere the time fixed for the third trial arrived a stranger ap peared before the magistrate of the couu ty and deposed that be himself was the In dividual who had lodged at the iun on the night of the murder, and for taking whose lire tne landlord was still in prison. In the course of his evidence he stated that he had been a merchant in Philadel phia, who finding himself on the eve of failure hud collected a large amount of money ami run away; and that all trace of himself might be lost and his death ex pected, he had adopted the plan of putting a small part of the money in the hands of the innkeeper, ostensibly for safe keeping, and secretly departing in the night on foot, not Bupponing anything very serious would result to the landlord from this course of action. Ou getting up somewhere about mid night bis nose had set to bleeding, which would explain the traces of blood he had left behind him. He made his way to Bui tinuaaaJinj itunwiy to Havana, where (todftor'sT'dTTty ,rriw account of his ar i a reaftd a friend he had for the first time learned with horror of the almost fatal consequences to the inn keeper of his unjustifiable disappearance, and bad hastened to make what reparti tion lay in his power. His testimony whs subsequently corroborated on all impor tant points, and the innkeeper was honor ably discharged, to the great relief and joy of his sympathizing friends. As a par tial recompense for what he had suffered on his account the merchant made him a present of the horse and money he had left with him and (3,000 besides. But the clearing up of one part of this strange affair only seemed to involve the other in still deeper mystery. A murder had surely been committed, but by whom? And who was the unfortunate victim? Even this, in course of time, was also made manifest. Some years after a vil lain, under sentence of death, confessed that he was a partner of the bank robber. and that, having made an equal division of the spoil, tbey bad agreed to leave the city by different routes and meet at an ap pointed place, that, eager to secure the whole of the booty, lie had secretly taken bis partner's road instead of the one agreed upon, and had waylaid and murdered him within a few rods of the tavern kept by Williams, who by being arrested for the crime had drawn off all suspicion from himself. Thus were these recorded deeds of that tempestuous night eventually brought to light, and the innocent cleared and re warded, and the guilty detected and punished.-. B. in Buffalo News. About Women's Clubs, Speaking of women's clubs and their management, a cynical man remarked thnt he had often thought what curious gatherings they must be. "Why," he said, "you don't smoke, you don't drink, you don't play cards. For goodness sake, what do you do with yourselves?' "Well," came the answer from an in dignant member, "I'll tell you what we do. We come home sober about 10 o'clock, we don't lose our last cent play ing poker, we don't smell of smoke and we don't wake in the morning with a head and a thirst that makes us empty the ice pitcher at one gulp. Those are a few of the incidental things we manage to accomplish outside of some discus sions that are not gossip or fashions, nor yet concern sporting news or politics." - rniiaueipma Times.

Strange ly, the superstition has been apparently verified in the case of the babr of the Chinese minister at Washington. The minister refused to permit the child's portrait to be made, but the secretary of the legation, who was disposed to be skeptical, took the child surreptitiously to a photographer's. Since then the baby has been very ill. Chicago Dis-natch. ( FRAUDULENT LOTTERY SCHEMES Clever Devices and Bogus Circulars by Which Many People Are Being Swindled.
