TIiuh it is that tho world makes no allowanco for a 'shortsighted man. Ho often gets the 'reputation of being uppish when, in fact, lho is nothing of the sort. BiH besides this physical infirmity there in ti sort of mental shortsighted ness that is very embarrassing to the un fortunate txwsessor. For iustanco, I (iuil it impossible to remember faces and names. I sometimes think that I have met too many eoplo iu this world. 1 'havo to be introduced to a person about six times on the average Ix-foro I can re manlier that 1 ever saw that person be 'foroand then it requires over eo many meetings I x; fore 1 can venture on the name. For tho last two years I havo attended the baseball games with regu larity and industry, yet to this day I can not distinguish U'tween Hardiu Itichard pon and Jack Kowe, except by their posi tions iu tho Held; and theso "two players don't look so very much aliko either. Home folks who havo not been so iiultis 'trious iu their application to baseball can tell at sight tho name of any player, not only in tho Detroit club, but in tho wholo league. Ono day last summer I was driving with tho lady who has the legal right to tell mo what sho thinks of me, when sho mid: "Why didn't you tako olT your hat to that lady'r" "IJless me; 1 don't ! iow her." "Yes, you do. Th t was Mrs. Brlns "meado." "Was It? Well, I did not recognize her." "You might have recognized her if you had taken tho trouble to, Youurouwful careless nliout such things.

IFor the ne:;t day or two I Unveil India 'criminatcly to evervlKuly, much to tho surprise of most ot them, but, all the "samo, 1 noticed that many of them bowed back at mo and said: "Hello, old wan." When coming to think of it 1 know that 1 didn't know them and they didn't know me, so 1 imagine that there .aro lota more jeipk in my tlx. A few days after 1 happened to nasa tho Drinsmeade ivrtidcnce and 1 saw Sirs.

Sho looked at mo for a mo'urnt with calm disapproval in her eyes, nnd I saw at once that she was very much oirended with mo. 1 thought 1 could rctriove 1oet ground, 60 I plunged on, feeling very uncomfortable. "J fiuppoao you arc reading Mr. now- ells' Btory. ou ul ways vvero very fond of IJowclhi." Thero was moro of surprise than ills approvnl n her glunco this time. After u moment's hesitation she said: "Yoa, 1 mil very fond of Mr. HowelU wilinga. but thU U Tho Century Maga rlno. 1 beliovo ho writw only for Har per's." . "Oh, that's 60.

"Well, naturally you wouldn't because, you know, you'd have gone by" I knew I wtis talking like a simpering idiot, but I couldn't htop myself. "That's what 1 was saying. The lady never knows you take oil your hat be cause unless she turns round and they don't generally ah turn round, you know Then, of course, how is she to know you do take olf your hat? 1 think that very often they ah don't know, yon know Sometimes they think they sometimes think that n h.tsoii doesn t recognize that is, doesn't lake off Ins hat when he does after they'vo gone by." By this time Mrs. Drinsmeado was looking at me with Iwth fear and aston ishment. If 1 could have shaken myself clear of the front gate I think I would have bolted down the street, but I clung to it with a sort of despairing helpless ness, always hoping to retrieve myself, and always getting deeper into tho diill cult v. "For instance. I recognized you tho other day on Woodward avenue." "1 nm surprised to near u. "Well, yes, 1 suppose you are. Most people are surprised when they hear I recognize anybody, but I I run not very good at knowing people, but I would alwavs recognizo you.- Yes; tho trouble is that I am a very poor driver very Ioor, indeed and it takes most of my nttention looking after the horse and trying to persuade him to go whero I want to go. So I sometimes pass people on the street without knowing who they are. I've run over some of my best friends through trying to recognizo somebody else. It costs me more every year to pay for thoso I nm over tlian to Keep the horse. At this moment the front door opened nnd a lady came out. lho moment I saw her I wondered how 1 could havo been so stupid as to nustako anybody elso for all's. Hrinsmeaue.

Somo vears ago Wyatt Earn was a law unto himself, and his revolvers were his executioners. When his brother was city marshal of Tombstone, A.

After the nig battle with the McClowrys, in which tho Fat ps killed seven or eight men, tho latter spent most ol their timo (longing bullets. Friends of the dead meu had sworn vengeance, and it was not long bo fore thev had it. One night Morgan Rarp, still another brother, was assassinated in a saloon iu Tombstone. No one saw the murderer, the bullet coming through the window, but Wyatt made up his mind that the culprit was Frank Ktillman. Tho next morning Stillman took breakfast at 0 o'clock in Tucson, somo ninety miles away. The second morning after tho tragedy Wyatt Harp.

At tho in quest the iact that Stillman had appeared in Tucson the morning aiter the killing of Harp 'as urged as a proof that ho could not have been the murderer, but Wyatt held that a ride of ninety miles m twelve hours at night was nothing Cora frontiersman who had an Harp after him, and was able as Stillman was to get relays of horses. This struck tho jury forcibly, and the l;illinir was set down as a justifiable homicide. San Francisco Ulspateli. Anuclrt liver where.

JORDAN. 1 Violent M'lM, nnd tlio Sudden Death Tlmt Overlook Mini Ht Uit. A dramatic sequence of events lay be hind the recent assassination of den. Lopez Jordan in the streets of Buenos Ayres. Jon'an was a violent, venture some, unscrupulous man, w o had ox perienced all the tips and downs of an adventurer's career He was born in Concepcion, Uruguay, iu 1822. Ho was educated in tho Jesuit college, in Buenos Ayres. and iu 1841 entered tho Argeir tine army as a lieutenant. In tlio rovo lutiotiiiry times of 18-19 he was command' ant of his native town. He was unpop ular, even among his own people. Ho was quarrclnorno, imperious nnd Inso' lent, and always ready to meet any re sentment which his conduct excited with a challenge to u duel. In tho disturb ances of 185I he took sides with tho tyrant Ilosas against the rebellious Gen. Utiurila. Under the protection of Ills chief ho committed till sorts of misdeeds. His most atrocious crime was the murder of Maj. Casas. In the shadow of this crime ho passed the last years of his life, and in consequence of it ho met a violent death. Casas was tho prefect of the city of Pahnas. in tho province of Hntro Iiios. He was a landed proprietor and a cattle man of great wealth. In 1873 he mado a trip through the province for tho pur posoof selling 1,000 sheep and a largo strip of woodland. In returning homo with the proceeds of tho sales in his pockets lie passed through the region held by Jordan's troops. Jordan heard of his presence, nnd ordered that he should be arrested. It was done. Jor dan received Casas in his tent, questioned him as to his possessions, and then, with out a word of accusation, complaint or explanation, acommandcd that ho should Iw executed. Casas was tied to a tree and slaughtered like a sheep. Jordan seized all the money found on tho dead man's body, and afterward stripped his victim's family of all their property. Justice is pretty leaden footed iu tlio Argentine Republic, especially when she is after generals; nevertheless, sho be gan to overhaul Jordan almost immedi ately after tlio despoliation of tlio Ca sases. One by ono his crimes were turned against him until in 1S7S ho was imprisoned in Parana on tho chargo of murdering Cas;w and Gen. Urquiza, By bribing the guards ho made Ids escape from jail and left Parana iu the disguise of a beggar on tho arm of his daughter. Ho concealed himself over tho border for ten years. After the amnesty of 1888 ho returned to Buenos Ayres. In the meantime tho young son of Maj. Casas had becouio n man. Ho had seen many black days since tho designa tion of his family. His mother had died of a broken heart, in extremo joverty. On her deathbed she made him swear to avenge his father's murder. A keen strugglo with tho world to obtain food and clothes for his sister and himself kept this oath fresh in young Casas' memory. He knew that Jordan would come back to Buenos Ayres somo day, and he watched carefully for news of his return. A few weeks ago news of Jordan's roappearanco camo to Monte video, whero young Casas, as a reporter, was milking ti fair living for his sister and himself. Casas went at once to Buenos Ayres. Ono Saturday noon Gen. Lopez Jordan stopped from his liouse into tho most crowded street of Buenos Ayres for his midday stroll. Somo hundred steps from his door a young man sprang be fore him and asked: "Are vou Gen. Lopez Jordan?" "Yes." "I am Aurelio Casas, son of Maj. Casas, whom you murdered sixteen years ago. 1 am como to shoot you." Gen. Jordan stood quite still and spoke a few words of apology. Aurelio Casas did not heed them. Ho motioned back the gathering crowd, drew a revolver and shot Gen. Jordan in tho throat. Gen. Jordan did not move. Casas fired a sec ond shot. It passed into Gen. Jordan's heart, and lie fell dead to tho ground. Some one shouted "Murder!" "I am up murderer J" shouted back Casas, who remained beside his victim's body. "I have merely killed tho man who killed my father." Then ho throw down his revolver and walked away. Subsequently he surrendered himself to tho police. The body of Gen. Lopez Jor dan was carried to his palace, which had been built and furnished with tlio pro ceeds of tlio crime just avenged. New York Sun. Ilii Nut llclleve In it future LI to. When a gypsy dies that is tlio end. Every member of tho race has a horror of death, because no gypsy lives who has faith in a hereafter. They cannot Iw induced to contemplate it. No genu ino gypsy ever accepted Christianity. Borrow in his many years of Biblo and missionary work among them never claimed to havo converted one. In all countries, as is true of a goodly number of other folk, they occasionally profess a sort of attachment to tho ruling creed. For instance, wo hear of a "gypsy ex hortcr" in Ohio, and the other day u good bishop of Delaware was allowed to christen a gypsy child in a camp near Wilmington. But theso littl hypocri sies nro all in ho way of gypsy thrift. Spriugfleld Republican. lire uml Gold. Clinton A. Snowden, of Tacoma, saw bees going and coming from u hollow tree. Ho built u tiro, smoked out the bees and cut down tho tree to get the houey. He found a great lot of it; but, better still, a large quantity of gold was in the hollow trunk. It had evidently been deposited theie by nature, and the wiso men out there think that it was "gradually washed up every year by tho flow of sap, and in course of timo accu mulated Into n solid mass."

It Carried Her Surely Through a Period of Awful Peril. Fully 1,200 persons assembled at Jack son Mount! park yesterday afternoon to witness the balloon ascension and para chute ump by Miss Dessa Garrett. Miss Garrett is a small but compact and well knit woman, and of light weight, and this fact, as it proved later, saved her from ti frightful fate. At 5 o'clock the monster balloon was fully inflated, and the eager throng of sightseers mounted benches and tables to get a good view of the start. The ropes were released at a given signal Professor Robinson cried "All ready I' and up shot the aerial ship, with its oo cupant hanging to the trapeze bar Up went the balloon till, the aeronaut could hardly lie distinguished, nnd n hush si t tied on the crowd below as the awful consequence of a fall from that dizzy height presented itself to their minds. Slany of thoso present had opera and field glasses through which they viewed every movement of the balloon and its occupant. A height of fully 5,000 feet was at length attained and the balloon com tnenced to slowly descend, and still Miss Garrett did not make the leap. She was seen to attempt to puil the parachute toward her, but something was evidently wrong. As the balloon descended the parachute expanded, and when about 4,000 feet from terra firnia Miss Garrett let go of the bar of the balloon and in trusted herself to the parachute. The latter, however, did not detach itself from the balloon, and the two continued slowly to descend. A few were heard to remark when they saw the apparently easy and safe descent, that it was done by proarrangement, and that the aero naut did uot intend to make tlio jump when sho mado the ascent, Such people nnd the crowd generally were not. tiwaro that Miss Garrett was, by very reason of the parachute not de taching itself, in most deadly peril of being dashed to atoms. Professor Rob inson knew it, and his cheek blanched ns he n waited the threatened catastrophe. Mr. J. J. Ilogan was aware of it, and went into tho ticket ofiico to avoid see ing what he thought was inevitable. So also did a few others who knew enough of tho relation the parachute bore to the balloon to bo aware of what result might be expected. Tho parachute is fastened with a cord to the side of the balloon. In one place the cord is almost cut in two, and when the aoYonnut places his or her weight in tho parachute the cord is broken at the weak sjMit and the narachute is freed. In yesterday's ascension t..e cord became twisted, thus giving it double strength, nnd when Miss Garrett swung out on the parachute the jerk was insufficient to part tlio line. It was at this juncture that the danger was most imminent. The cord being attached to tho side ol the balloon tho weight on it caused it to careen, and a pair of smoke was seen to issue from it. It turned half over, but no further. Had it turned a few feet further, had the lady's weight been a few pounds greater, it would havo capsized. It was immediately over the para chute; had it capsized it would havo col lapsed, and its weight of liOO pounds would have como down on tho para chute, and in a few seconds later Miss Garrett would have been dashed to the earth. The danger was not over till the balloonist was iu jumping distance of tlio ground, but sho mado the descent in perfect safety about a mile south of the park. Miss Garrett fully understood her aw ful position as she hung suspended in midair, uncertain at what moment she would be dashed to pieces, but she is true grit, and never faltered. She knew that all she could do was to hang on nnd hopo for the beat, and she hung on and was saved where a weaker woman's heart would havo failed her, and she would have fainted and met nn awful death, Memphis Avalanche.
