"What ye talkln' about, man':" The stranger was gasping for breath, but presently managed to explain that, twenty miles south, he had bi-eii resting under a tree by a stream, when a Utile man mid a big man, whom he had known In Kingfisher as "Klngilsher" Williams, entne along and dismounted near by. The little man was leaning over to get a drink when Williams Micnkcd up behind lilui ami struck hlui down with his handcuffs. After tills, said the stranger, he saw Williams take the keys from the little man's pocket mid unlock his handcuffs. Then he shot (he Insensible victim with the hitter's ow n gun, mounted, and rode away; and the new-comer hurried Into llulTalo Horn the faster because Williams caught sight of him as ho was leaving and took a few shots at hlui. "W'y didn't ye shoot baek-'r else git th' drop on 'lin w'en 'e hit little Meeks wl' th' bracelets?" asked Jim Wylie, llerccly. "'Cause, In the first dace, I didn't think Vd kill th" man.

In less than nu hour the little town wns practically depopulated of men, all but the cashier of the local bank and a few bar-tenders having gone on the warpath to catch aud hang Klngilsher Williams for the murder of Mr. Meeks. The stranger did not accompany them, his horse being Mown and himself not being anxious to meet Mr. Williams. However, It made no difference, ns ev ery one knew the ford which the stranger said wns the scene of the tragedy. Thus, nearly every one being gone southward to mete out Justice to the alleged murderer of Mr. Meeks, It was really child's play for that gentleman mid Mr. Williams, emerging from their hiding-place In the hills Just north of the town, nnd Joining the stranger who had brought the news, to loot the bank, three stores, the hotel, nnd every saloon In the place, and to get safely nway on fresh horses at least three hours before the pursuit could be organized.

One of the iho-i patheile, and even liearliending, things In the hisiory ot liioilern warfare has been the sending of thousands of very young peasants from the interior district of Spain, who are In the dccpiwt ignorance of tic world's affairs, t mbai in Cuba, not a visible enemy, but the terrible fcer, which give to but few of thcc till accliiiialeil youths from the bracing highland of Spain a fair chance of recovery.

The low rental and the accessibility of the farm to Ihe i i't markets are the chief reasons w lit lh: land lias been select, d by the saltation army leader for an experiment which promises to relieve at least a pari ,,t the unemployed of this i lly. The p o posal to utilize vacant cliy lols for th.' raising of potatoes and beans is an oilier plan which certain cities hate adopted beneficially, and lis iippl:,.i tioli here will still further tend to tiic prolltable Work to the unemployed. 1'crhap the iiioM hopeful iml.i a'ioii III connect Ion w i h ihe problem of ib al lug w llli llie uneiiiplot ed Is to be found III I lose elTorts toward a utilization of opportunities and means that bate heretofore been neglected as too small nnd unimportant to be considered There is soiiiel liing Inspiring iu consid ering large plans of hetietoli nee w bich look towiiru the abolishing f poteriy ami redressing the evils ol the social organization which result iu poverty ninl dcstituiioti. The ibtliciiliy lies in uppl.t lug these coinpi'cheiisit e plans and principles, ami the danger is iu ' scorning limited means at baud for lie Immeasurably greater and giandei means that would be desirable if at tainable. The saltation mint, there fore, is to be coniuieiiilcd for taking up this method of relief lii a practic able way, and thus dciiioiMraiiiu.'. on a small scale, the adt isabh ucss ol fur ther progress in the same direction. Tliis has been dolie on the faiai of I.imio acres mar Louden, the success of which enterprise is a standing refu tation of those inclined to ridicule such methods of rollicking etils that re sult from our present social ststem. At the same lime, it is as yet doubt ful whether inelhods of relief Hint seem to meet the wauls of a portion at bast of Fnglaiiil's "submerged tenth" will meet with equal success lu American cities, where eoinlil iolis in general are quite different. Willi Ibe except Ion of the foreign ielitillg.nl ill American cities, the population i large ly made up of country -born residents, who, for reasons that seel t to iliein good, have descried the country for the city. They are not fanners, not be cause they do not know anything about farming and the Independence possible to be secured by tilling the soil, but because they prefer the oily and Ihe oc cupations of city life. This class of persons, unless wholly abandoned to vicious courses, is a class to which the fill ui-coloiiy experiment will not ap peal. If I hey desire to till the soil they know enough about llie conditions that obtain iu t In country to seek employ ment there on llieir ow n iicconnt. Th'-y do not need to be taught about farm lug. What they need, in most cases. Is the moral mid physical coinage to give tqi their predilections for urban life and return to tl ciipatloiis they pursued before coining to llie city. They are iu the city precisely for the reason that they prefer It to the coun try, and such Is the fascination and glamor of a great city lo this class of persons that they often prefer to starve In the city to going back lo the farm. There Is. however, II large class In every city's population which will greatly benefit the adoption of the col ony farm and the vacant lot system of practical relief, and if the salvation army can utilize these It will redound greatly to the city's bcliellt and in crease the g al public's appreela Hon of the army's practical benevo lence. Our Kin Across the Sen. The American Is always Instituting comparison between himself and ins Fngllsh cousin. The Fiigllshniaii Is ever contrasting his American kinsman with himself. Personal comparison are proverbially ungracious. The. ac celituation of supposed contrast Is pe ciillarly so. Moreover, since men g, n erally li ml what they seek faithfully, both comparison and contrast tend to ward a factitious result. Thus It come to lias that In most American news paper otllces there Is a lay llgiire, cloth ed on with insularity, armed to the teeth III view of a possible opportunity for aggression, h!s face aglow w ith bit ter and 111 concealed hatred of all ih ng American.

The lay leader of a prayer meeting iu a Vermont town, sometimes invaded by summer visitors, seeing mi evident stranger present, came lo lilui as llie meeting was about to open, mid asked him his name and residence, ami se emed his consent to say a few words. At the proper time, lie asked: "Will not Mr. A., of New York, favor us with a few remarks?" When the stranger sat down, the leader ngaln spoke: "Will not Mr. A., of New York, ask Cod's blessing on Ids feeble remarks?" A story of the same sort Is told of a ner vous man w hose duty It was to move a vote of thanks after n lecture.

On one i asloii John McSwccncy, n famous Ohio lawyer, was engaged as counsel for the defense lu a California murder case. The case looked hope less. Mr. McSwceny submitted no evi dence for the defense. Ilellevlng that the case was won, the State's attorney 1 made only a few perfunctory remarks In conclusion.
