One Bad Boy Thought He Would Drive
Coach and Preach.
Ex-Attorney General Miller was born
and spent his early life in a small New
York villa ge. At the little school
house where he first learned to read
and play "hookey," says the Indian
apolis Sentinel, there was a fellow
pupil who, although about the same
age as Mr. Miller, was noted through
out the village for his pure cussed ness.
That boy, according to Mr. Miller's
statement, would sit up of a-night to con
coct some scheme to make the people of
the town miserable. lie would chase
the cows, stone the dogs and pigs, put
ropes across the path at night, set pins
on the seats at church and scare tho
wits out of all the old maids for a mile
around. Whenever any devilment was
done it was laid at the door of this one
boy, and usually correctly. At school
he was a terror to all. Stubborn and
defiant, there was no restraining him,
and the schoolmaster was in despair.
One day he thought he would make a
last effort to reform the boy by argu
ment, and he called him up to tho
desk.
"Now, Tom," he began, "you are a
bright fellow, but you are spoiling
your future. Just think what yon can
make of yourself if you only behave
yourself. Now, have you ever thought
of what you will do when you grow
up to be a man?"
The boy looked at him for a moment,
and then, picking up a straw from the
floor, he picked his teeth for a moment,
as though iu deep thought.
"Yes," said he, "I 'lowed I would
drive a coach an' preach some."

Denver Jockey's Ingenious Hut Unsports

At a trotting race recently In Brigh

had a candidate entered, and feeling

iockey as well as owner, entered the
test of his string, and bought up every

the turn and along the backstretch, but

Down the long stretch the Denver

to the newly-found Eldorado. They
built their wagon beds in the shape of
tightly-caulked skiffs, so as to enable
them to ford any stream without diffi

to start. The boat they had chartered
to take them to St. Joe, Mo., was ready
and they bade farewell. On the day of
their departure New Albany, by com
mon consent, made a grand holiday.
Every factory, store and business
house was closed, and cannon fired at
sunrise to announce the event. Friends
and acquaintances marched with the
adventurers to the boat, and it was
mora as if an army went to battle than
anything else. But the strange thing
was, that iu that crowd of young men
there was an old man, named William

joy. They won't raise a row, as our
American gamblers do when they are
beaten. I was sitting one evening at
the monte table in the great gambling
resort of Mexico, situated in a suburb
of the City of Mexico. There were two
Americans whom I had seen around
the table on several occasions. One
was a railroad man and the other was
the most expert short-card manipula
tor I ever saw. They played for very
small stakes for several days. Then
one day the railroad man came In, sat
down and began to play. The short
card man followed him in about half
an hour ana took a seat nve or six
obalra away. , I saw him take a large
silk handkcrtV.lcf from his pocket and
nprcad It over his knees. In Mexican
monte the dealer allows each player to
cut tho cards when he makes a bet. The
short-curd mnn brought with him a
deck of cards exactly similar to those
UM'd in the game. Fact la, the backs
of these cards are all alike. When he
was given the card a to cut he sulistl
tilled another pack on the top of which
was a card, a king, which would make
him win. lie had put down eighteen
hundred dollars on the king on the
hoard. lie cut, the dealer turned and
of course ho won. The pack that the
dealer had handed him to cut lny in the
silk handkerchief spread over his
knees. He gathered the handkerchief
together, put it in his pocket, took his
thlrty-MX hundred dollars and lert.
His eoiifi'derstii played on for a few
iiiinuti's, making small bets, ami then
rashi-d in. As lie turned to go the
(lcali-r. who knew he had been robbed
but cm Id not quite comprehend how
it hsd been done, said very quietly:
"'Very well done, slgnor.'

"ialkiug of the present ministry, let :
me give the true story of Sir B. Orey's
making the grave statement in the
house of commons. A friend at mine,
a rather brilliant man, was called upon , :
by the editor of a weekly paper to write
the leader for him. The editor had not
yet got thoroughly over his Influenza, ;
and the friend agreed to it. ue wrote .
the leader on the French aggressive
ness in Africa, sent it to the printer, '
where It was set up and forwarded to
the editor. Tho latter, not approving . ,
of the subject, transmitted the proof, '
and said; 'My dear boy, you agreed to
write on Armcnhv, not Africa. This la
of no interest to the general public
The wires about the French on the
Niger and tho reported march on the
Soudan are. probably pure inventions.
Iu any case, tho attack on Sir K. Orey
for his vague generalities la hardly the '
thing,' and so on.
"My friend simply took the proof,
and writing on it: 'This is going Into
an Importuiit paper, and is the true
feeling of tho English people,' popped
it into an envelope, and sent It down to
Sir E. Urey at the house of commons.
It was posted in the Strand at 4:13 p.
in., and would be delivered at West
minster probably about 0:30 p. m. At
H p. m. the meeting of tho cabinet was
hastily convened by Sir E. (Irey, and at
10 p. m. ho made the statement which
has shnken all the bourses of Europe.
Tho following morning came the edit
orial wire to my frieud: 'I see the im
portance of your article now and shall
uae It.' "

In front of me what appeared to lie a
long line of green rihtron about one

found that it was a prtx'eaalon nf ants,
inarching three or four abreast, lo
very clie order, each one carrying a
little piece of a green leaf. The effect
was a rontluuou linn of green with
out any break. I went back to find the
lieglnning, but aa It Isaued from the

then ful lowed It fur several rod, until
