I didu't care hi what capacity, just so long as I gut my living from Undo Sam. Mentioning niv desiro to tho United States mnrshal for tho northern district of Florida, it was gratilied. I was at onco ushered into ill presence of tho I nited fatates judge, held up my right hand, and, with a heroism worthy of a better cause, swore to sup port tho Constitution of tho United States, though at the timo I was hardly able to support my own constitution, laking my formidable commission and a supply of otlicial stationery, I went back to tho vil lage of Dead Pino to await orders. Dejid Pino is u small town so named bo cause there is a largo live oak in front of the principal saloon. Dead Pine is not an imposing place. At that timo it had a lit tle dojot, some stores, some mortgagee fanners and three saloons. It also had u malarial back country, with plenty of "bad men" living in it, a couplo of half starved churches, and somo Christians loaning money at from 2 to any per cent, monthly to their struggling neighbors. It was also the center of a lumber and tur pentine district, where prominent citizens steal state and government timber and call it business. In a few days my troubles began. I re ceived n portentous document from head quarters at Jacksonville. It had four im pressive and sinister looking olliciul btamps on the envelope, and ordered mo to ai i'ih'o sei.o tho body of Thomas Per kins, supposed to be lurking somewhere in tho county, and bring said body before tho United States court, then in sessional Jacksonville. Hy a careful reading of the somewhat diffusive warrant, I discovered that Thomas had been guilty of perjury in violation of tho statutes in such cases made and provided. An hour later tho following dispatch was handed to me: Oftice ok the United States Marshal, 1 .Jacksonville, l'la, f To United States Deputy Marshal, Dead Pine, Ha. Understand Perkins desperate character; get help nece.-sary; take him dead or alive. Makkmal. That dispatch mado mo very indignant. Got'help, indeed! Not 1! I was 0 feet 1 inch in height, weighed 185 pounds. If I couldn't alone arrest one man I was tin worthy to wear tho bright red ribbon on tho lapel of my vest labeled "United States marshal." IJesides, if I got help, there would not bo enough glory to go around. I wanted it all for myself, and determined to bring in tho prisoner-elect by my own unaided efforts, or occupy ouo of tho mislit eollins nt tho village undertaker's. Tho first thing was to locato tho gentle man, who, Buffering from somo affection of tins intellectual liver, had resorted to perjury. I located him. Six miles from town, in a veritable wilderness, two miles from any other house, lived, moved and had his being, Mr. Thomas Perkins, in whom this great government of our was bq intensely interested. Tho next thing was to mako tho neces sary preparations. I mai.o them. In tho morning by tho bright light, of a beauti ful winter's day, u stout wagon, drawn by two sturdy and rellectivo mules, w.13 drawn up in front of tho villago hotel, which was very inappropriately named "Tho Delmonico.'' On tho front scat was my negro driver and pilot, Hill. On tho rear seat snt tho writer. Under a blanket at my foot was a Winchester rillo and a double barreled shot gun well loaded with buckshot, although I was oppressed with a harrowing doubt as to whether I hadn't put tho buckshot in first. In tho pocket of my overcoat was a Smith & Wesson doable action sixty-eight, and in tho breast pocket of my inner coat a bowio knifo that had onco belonged to a Texas evangelist. A curious crowd had gathered to teo mc off. They knew my mission, though none of them knew who I was after. They cheered mo with novel suggestions and well meant advico. "I say, Cup," said ono, "yo'd better tal:o n bottle of whisky erlong wi' you. Tlioro uin't no barroom whar you'ro goin.' " My driver looked approvingly at" this bpcakcr. "Ho won't look very protty comin' back hero with a furror driv el'ar through his ehiat, will her" haid another. " 'Twouldn't do for liim to go out bar huntin at night with that red noso hhln in would hit'.'" That hist remark hurt my vanity. My noso was rather red, but it eomo from an unduo partiality for stowed tomatoes, not from any other cause. "When you firo at him, Cap, watch that off mulo's hind log, for lie's goin' ter kick," said a long, lank feller on tho out skirts of tho crowd. Even tho negroes had somothlng to say. Approaching mo with doferenco, ono of them whispered to mo confidentially: "Ross, yo'd bout tlo dat fool nlggor what's drivln ter tho boot, for Boon's ho hears a cap pop ho'a gwino tor jump out an' run like de debll." Hill gave tho muloa a cumulating touch of tho whip and away wo wont, l'or two mllos out we liad good roada. After that, tho rougheat and wont that I had evor J seen. Stnmps, tangled roots, hills. gul lies, swamp, corduroy, and tho county commissioners know what else, made a regular panacea for the twin evils of dys pepsia and love, according to the jolting up theorists. Now we were in tho wilder ness, a solemn, awful silence, broken only by tho tramping of tho mules, tho creaking of tho wagon and the hiccoughs if tlie driver, who was about half drunk when wo started. It was a pine wilder ness, with tho underbrush all gone, no song of bird, no scent of llower, no flutter of insect life, a strange, dreary desert of forest. Here were majestic trees aged with a century nf growth. Gazing at their stately tops, ono could well imagine that in days agone, jerhnps under the very trees we were passing, "1m, tho poor In dian," had onco assembled to shako dice to seo who should pay for tho beer. I was absorbed in these meditations when tho wagon nui into a huge stump and away I went sailing out into space. The shot gun about this timo decided that it was tired of riding and caino along also. Neither of us were hurt, and we resumed our scats in tho wagon, the gun rather unwillingly 1 thought. Wo were now getting near tho camp of tho enemy and a rather curious sensation took possession of me. Of course it was not fear, but my heart evinced a curious disposition to desert its pericardium and homestead the lower portion of my throat. 1 cocked both tho rifle and tho shot gun, placing them sideways in the wagon to satisfy tho manifest uneasiness of tho driver Tho revolver I took out and placed ou tho seat by me, covering it with a superabundance of coat tail. The knifo I loosened In Its sheath. About half a mile further on I saw approaching ono of the most villainous looking men I had ever seen. Ho was of negro blow!, nearly white, of herculean frame, and if not u born criminal and assassin, should have had his face indicted for malicious libel. He curried a glittering ax on his shoulder and eyed me insolently. j The driver turned around with a wins- I per. ' Dat's him, boss." My knees now partook of tho general excitement; my hand trembled as if my best girl was about to refuse me, and my blood seemed determined to go into tho cold storage business. At tho same time an overwhelming conviction reached ma that this was not the man 1 was looking for, and that It would bo impolite to risk a suite for false imprisonment. I As ho came opjKisito tho wagon, my ; driver drew up and assumed tho initiative. "Is your name Perkins?" "Xuw," was tho surly reply. My thermometer immediately resumed 1 its normal condition of 72 in the shade. j "My good man,'' said 1, carefully con- cealing all weaiKins, "I am looking for ono Perkins, can you inform mo where that , most esteemed gentleman lives?" ' In that house over yonder," ho said, pointing about a quarter of a mile distant. where a thin spire of smoke emphasized a tumble down log house. hen about 1(H) yards from tho house I halted the team and gave a lew brief directions to tho driver. I With tho rillo at full cock I cautiously I upproaclied tho house. It was of rough logs, very rickety, with the usual stick and mud chimney. Outside of tho smoke from that there was no sign of life about tho place. Silently I came up to the back door, witli 11 vigorous kick bent it off tho leather hinges, and covered with the rillo 1 a liguro dimly seen in tho semi-darkness of tlio room. i "Throw up your hands!" I commanded. 1 If you stir I'll shoot." I From the figure, in shrill, frightened accents, camo: "For de Law'd's sake, watcher mean white man. I ain't dun nuliin." Tho gun dropped from my nervous hands. 1 Thomas Perkins, alleged desperado, was ' an old crippled negro, about 178 years old, half paralyzed and wholly stupid. Three hours afterward I drove into Dead Pine witli my prisoner, to bo greeted with ironical comment and uproarious laugh ter. "Did ho kick much, Cap?" said ono big fellow, while another, after eyeing Per kins a moment in silence, said, as ho moved off: "Yes, tho thing Is alive, I saw its tongue wiggle." Four hours later I was in Jacksonville, mi(14 Wivered my prisoner to tho United States marshal As tho major audited my accounts and drew a check for my ex lcnses ho was shaking with ill sup pressed laughter. "What do you see so funny about this?" I inquired, rather tartly. "I was wondering what tho jndgo will say when ho sees him," was tho reply. Just then tho judge strolled in. IIo gavo u look at tho prisoner, then at mo, and inquired mildly, but with a merry twinkle in his handsome eyes: "Did you have much trouble in securing this desperado, Mr. Officer?" Tho major fairly roared. I took my cheek and left tho room. I have not seen prisoner, United States mar shal, or Jacksonville since that eventful day, and Dead Pino shall know mo no moro fori ver.

A corre siMuidcnt of tin Omaha Herald, having visited an Amp. loooamp. gives tho fol lowing account of an Indian drill, or dered for his amusement: Fifty fine looking young men. mounted ujioti "(Kiiiies. drew up before the tents. At 11 signal from the chief they began their evolutions, with n loud yell" In a moment tliev di.-cij peared over a noighlHiring hill Then there suddenly roo 11 mighty trampling of horses' feet, and they swept past again, so compact that I only saw a ball mado of horses and men. Splitting in two, ono body swept to tho right 11ml another to tho left, and again the v disappeared. Presently they charged eacii other in solid lines, and while the spectator waited breathlessly for tho snook of collision, tho files skillfully opened to the right and left, and tho lilies passed through the intervals with out touching. Now came tho moment for displaying individual horsemanship. Some of tho riders approached, eacii lying so close to his pony s back that nothing but tho horse could bo seen. Others stood erect upon their nnimal's backs. Some hung to the horse by 0110 foot nnd ono hand, so that their Unties wero completely pro tected by those of the (ionics. These young warriors also threw ob jects iion the ground, and picked tliem tip at full gallop, and drew bows and shot arrows from beneath tho horses' necks. Somo of tho men exchanged horses while riding. Again, a man would fall from his horse, as if wounded, nnd two others, riding up beside him, would take him by an arm and ti leg, swing him between their horses, and carry him ofT. This exhibition lasted nearly two hours, and, at its close, men and horses were completely exhausted. All that evening the human performers lay in their lodges, while the Indian women brought them food, bathed their limbs and combed their hair. Marvel of the Connecticut Klver. Perhaps as curious and delightful a book as we could select at random is this "History of Connecticut" which lies bo fore mc. It is a little calf bound volume, printed anonymously nlout a century ago, and generally ascribed to tho Hov. Samuel Peters, n clergyman of Hebron, Conn. Mr. Peters lived in a credulous age, and some of the facts which ho gravely relates seem a little startling to our modern skepticism. Here is his de scription of the Connecticut river: "Tho middle river is named Connecticut, after the great sachem to whom the province belonged. It takes its rise from the White Hills in the north of New Eng land, where also springs the river Ken nebec. Two hundred miles from tho Sound is a narrow of livo miles only, formed by two shelving mountains of 6olid rock, whoso tops intercept tho clouds. Through this chasm are com pelled to pass all tho waters which in tho time of tho Hoods bury the northern country. "People who can lcar tho sight, tho groans, tho tremblings unit surly motion of water, trees, and ice through this aw ful passage, view witli ustonishment ono of tho greatest phenomena in nature. Hero water is consolidated, without frost, by pressure, by swiftness, between the pinching, sturdy rocks, to such a de gree of induration that an iron crowbar lioats smoothly down its current; hero iron, lead nnd cork have ono common weight: iiere, steady as timo and harder than marble, tho stream passes, irresisti ble, if not swift, as lightning." Quite a remarkable phenomenon! And yet not many years liave passed since tho good peoplo of Connecticut believed such things. My grandfather was a boy when this book was written. A. M. Cummings in Boston Transcript. Vtiy tho Leaves Turn. "Probably not ono jierson in n thou sand knows why leaves change their color in the fall,' remarked an eminent botanist tho other day. "The common nnd old fashioned idea is, that all this red and golden glory we boo now is caused by frosts. A truo and scientific explanation of tho causes of tho col oring of leaves would necessitate a long nnd intricate discussion. Stated brielly and in proper language, thoso causes in c these: The green matter in the tissue of a leaf is composed of two colors, red and blue. When tho sap ceases to flow in tho autumn, and the natural growth of tho treo ceases, oxidation of tho tissue takes place. Under curtain conditions tho green of tho leaf changes to red; under different conditions it takes on a yellow or brown tint. "This difference in color is duo to the difference in combination of tho original constituents of the green tibsuo, and to tho varying conditions of climate, cx losuro anil 6oil. A dry, cold climate produces more brilliant foliage than ono that is damp and warm. This is the reason that our American autumns are bo much more gorgeous than those of England. There are several tilings nlwut leaves that even science cannot explain. For instance, why one of two trees grow ing side by side, of tho samo ago nnd having tho same exposure, should take on a brilliant red in the fall and tho other bhould turn yellow, or why ono branch of u treo bhould bo highly colored and tho rest of the tree have "only n yellow tint, aro questions that aro as iinpossiblo to answer as why one member of a family should be perfectly healthy and unotlier sickly. Maples and oaks have brightest colors." Field and Farm. Why Oklahoma U Coveted. "I was down in that Oklahoma coun j try threo years ugo," 'said an officer of Gen. Miles' stair, at the Cufo Royal. "It is certainly a' beaut il til region for the agriculturist, nnd it is no wonder the lands are coveted. Tlio boil is rich and well watered, the country is n roll ing prairie, the climate is mild and equable, the grus in summer ia 'belly deep,' mid two railroads are now built through the heart of tlio vast, unoccupied domain.
