HIS LAST ROUND-UP.
r There waa a pathetic side to the
t" -Knh of Walter Brown that wasn't

mother out west, and few questions as
tii antecedents are asked. In a way
he died as he wanted to die with his
lois on but not in a fair tight.

as near as one could judge, looking at
h is sun-burned, weather-beaten face. He
was of middle height, broad shoulder
ed, and strong. His iron frame could
stand almost any aniouut of fatigue
&ml he never complained. I have
seen him on his horse for twenty-two
hours out of the twenty-four for three
successive days, when a cold drizzling
j-ttin was falling and the eattle were

I never saw Brown gloomy but once,
ft was the day after I met him, and it
was through this mood of his that I
pot to know something of his past. He
had a slight impediment in his speech,
not serious, but enough to make some of
---s'tteranees sound a little ridiculous,
was peculiarly sensitive about
.ne night we were wrapped in our
alceta. preparatory to catching the
C-ry few hours of sleep possible, when
e.of-a.he boys, a young fellow named

He looked in a significant way at
Murray as he spoke and that young
man's eyes dropped and his face grew
red. -
a hour later 1 joined Brown in
... work of putting the cattle on the
ykwwiftJ and for want of something else to
say remarked:
"You were a little mad a while ago.
Brown."
"Yea, my boy," be replied. and I
am sorry it happened. I killed a man
on that account once and had to leave
California. He mocked me just as
Murray did. We quarreled and both
began shooting about the same time.
His bullet was taken out of my hip,
but thera was no need of removing
mine, it went through his heart. He
was my brother-in-iaw."
li trace of an per had left his face
hi this A U Ka 1 c
sentence there was a touch of sadness
in bis voice. He was silent a few mo
ments and then he added:
'I left a little girl 5 years old in Cali
fornia and I don't like to think of what
I've lost."
In an bour Brown had recovered his
usual good humor, bnt somehow after
that X thought it was assumed. That
night I got a further insight into his
cnanicrer a no Die oncuespite nis wna,
lawless life. Just after dark a tremen-
- dous thunderstorm came up. One who
has not seen a. thunderstorm on the west
em plains can have no idea of what
this means. It means a downpour of
rain that amounts to a flood and vivid
flashes of lightning, followed by peals
of thunder so terrific and coming at
such frequent intervals as to be appall
ing. During the progress of these
storms the cattle run wild, terror
stricken. They never grow used to
them. This night was no exception.
At the very first clap of thunder the
long-horned steers, which rounded up
for the night had just got comfortably
settled, started to their feet. Then the
rain began to fall, and a moment later
the heavens opened every battery.
Awaywent the oattle and, of course,
'"tre went after them. It was my first
experience, and I shall never forget it.
It was only at intervals duriDg brief
flashes of lightning that I could see
Brown, bat I'll never forget him on
that night, either. He was in his ele
ment. Prairie-dogs had tilled the
ground as full of holes as the honey
comb, and to fall while at the head
of the fear-maddened herd was to face
9 death, bnt he seemed to court it. With
'the wind blowing back the broad brim
of his sombrero and the rain beating
in his face he laughed, sang, ana
shouted, riding like a tiend all the
time.
Well, it 'ended, as such storms
usually do, in a- cold drizzling rain.
The cattle .were qn ietedsomew hat, and
Brown, a fellow" named Morgan, and
myself they were breaking me in
were left to guard tbem. For an hour
or two I stood it well enough, then the
novelty wore off, and I grew sleepy.
Brown must have noticed it, for
presently he rode up to where Morgan
and I were sitting on our horses and
said:
v., "I can take care of them all right
-aow, boys. You go and get a little
sleep.'"
I was willing enough, but I saw no
prospect of sleep. It wastill raining.
Vot so with Mr. Morgan. He simply
.- urned and rode away, probably 100
j ar.0J 0n? hul horse, looped one
end of his rope about the animals
neck, the other end about his arm, put
his sombrero ou the back of his head,
lav flat on the irround, his hands
crossed under his face. His slicker
and his boots kept the rest of his body
dry. In five minutes he was snoring.
I watched the fellow la opeu-eyed
wonder while ho was arranging for'the
nap, then tried to follow his example.
But 1 did not sleep. I spite of me
drops of rain would nod some unpro
tected spot.
It Is well enough to tell something
of this man Morgan ho was Brown s
murderer right here. Morgan's real
name none ktimv. He was with the
otiiiit when I joined it, but prior to
that no one had asked any questions.
Mine availed nothing, "and piqued
somewhat by his reticence I dubbed
him "Mysterious Morgan." He was
Brown's opposite as a type. Brown
was a cowboy. Morgan was a cow
puncher. He was a medium-sized
man with black e'es, jot black hair,
mustache, and goatee. His cheeks he
himself shavea about once in two
weeks. After watching him perform
that tonsorial feat with a razor that
caused the blood to start in a dozen
places. I audibly wondered why he did
not wait until he struck a town. The
other boys smiled significantly, hut
said nothing. I afterwards learned
that Mr. Morgan did not make a busi
ness of visiting towns, and that he had
many potent reasons for not looking
like the Mr. Morgan of a few years
previous; in fact that one or more
Texas sheriffs would have ridden far
and fsst to have caught a glimpse of
his faee. Morgan was not popular
with the other boys. They are pretty
good judges of human nature and Mor
gan was as big a scoudrel as ever went
unhung. Yet he attended strictly to his
own business aud he killed Brown be
cause he believed the latter had threat
ened him. In fact, one night when
two of the boys, a Kentuckian named
Jack Forrester and one Bill Smith, got
into a row and Forrester beat Smith
over the head with a six-shooter, and
five of ns had k calch-as-catch-can
wrestling mateh for possession of the
weapon. Morgan was the first to
counsel peace. He took no part in the
squabble, but toward the close of it he
walked up to the group of excited men
and in the softest tones imaginable
said:
"Come, come, boys lets don't have
anv trouble in camp."
Two days later he shot poor Brown
while he was asleep.
It came about in this way: We were
camping on the banks of the Little
Frenchman river, an insiguificent
stream up iu northwestern Nebraska.
Brown and "Reddy" Clyde, the cook,
had some words. The cook was im
pudent, and Brown drew his revolver
and told him to get one. Clyde re
fused and would not fight, 'but he
threatened. Brown would not shoot a
defenseless man, but in reply to Clyde,
he said:
Oh. I know what yon rean. You
are depending on your partuer. Get
off twenty paces aud I'll tight you
both."
Brown referred to another man, but
Morgan took it to himself. He did
not say a word, but the next day at
noon when poor Waller was asleep
under the mess wagon he rode up, srot
off his horse walked to the wasron.
pulled his six-shooter and remarking:
"Brown eame out of there," began
shooting.
The first ball went through Brown's
neck, breaking it and killing him in
stantly; two others entered his right
breast, an inch apart, and passed
through the body. With the first shot
Brown gave a spasmodic start and4itS
right hand went to the butt -fif his
pistol. It was there whej-wB started
to pull his dead bodfroui under the
wagon. ,r"
It was tjM-'first killinor I had evHr
P-TtTtT I was horror-stricken. I re
nTembered, too. something that Brown
had said to me but a few days before.
We were riding ang together talking
of the uncertainties' of the life we were
leading, w hen he said: "Jack. I don't
gi ve a snap for my 1 i f e, but I
would hate to be buried here on the
prairie like a dog."
After he wis killed I realized what
his words meant. A hole two feet
deep within five paces of the spot
where he died was his grave.
We went through his pockets, of
course. A little book contained all
there was of the Btory. In it was a
silver quarter, a flattened bullet that
his brother-in-law had fired into his
hip, a little plain gold ring, evidently
child's, and a card. 0:i one side of
this latter was printed the name
-"Walter Yn banks." and on the other,
written in a scrawling, uncertain hand,
the words:
"After the last ronndnp please send
this ring to Annie Yubanks. Pasadena,
Cal. Write her a Hoe ami tell her her
father died sorry he was not a better
man. " Walter Yubanks."
We tore a board off the side of a
soap-box, drove it in the ground at the
head of the grave, and I wrote with a
lead-pencil:
"Walter Yubanks. murdered while
asleep by a coward."
It seemed pretty tough, somehow
but there was nothing more to do.
Lew Wallace Is Fanny.
Gen. Lew Wallace, the author of
"Ben Hur," and ex-minister, was once
asked if be had seen M. de Blowitz of
Paris, the correspondent of the London
Times. He replied: "I have heard
him blow, bnt never seen his wits."
This is credited as one of the gener
al's Turkish jokes: There lived in
Stambonl, Turkey, a well-to-do Turk
named Ismail Hassaui. He did not
have the eloquence of our In gal Is nor
the imagination of a Rider Haggard,
but he was endowed with ready ori
ental wit that stood him well in band
when he was in a tight place. A
neighbor called upon Ismail one day
and wanted to borrow bis donkey to
use an hour. Ismail made a 'low
salaam and said:
"Neighbor, 1 am sorry, but my boy
started on the donkey an hour ago to
Scutari. By now he" is gaily trotting
over the hills far from the sacred pre
cincts of Stambonl."
Just as Ismail finished his speech, a
donkey's loud bray was heard in the
stable," which was under the same roof
as Ismail's house, but in the rear. The
neighbor said:
Ah, I hear your donkey bray."
Ismail protested that his neighbor's
ears were deceived and that the noise
was not a donkey's bray. Then the don
key, which was supposed to be jogging
along toward Scutari, brayed twice
loudly. It was too much, and the
neighbor cried:
"Oh, that is yon donkey, Ismail;
Allah help me, I can now borrow him."
Then Ismail said: "Which do you
believe is lying, the doukey or meP"
The neighbor had to gHf Ismail
the bene tit of the donM, and went
away. i

JURY TRIALS IN FRANCE.
How the Proeadure IMfltar from fhafc tn
Kngllah and American Conrt.
Contrary to English practice, the
prisoner himself is closely cross-examined
by the presiding judge, called
"president," says Murray Magazine.
Previously during his imprisonment
every effort has been made to draw a
confession from him, even by placing
iu his celt a fellow jail-bird as spy In
technical slang called "mouton" who
treacherously tries to wiu his Confi
dence. Such proceedings would shock
British Ideas of fair play.
The public examination may, how
ever, have the advantage of allowing
the prisoner to tell his own story,
which, if he be Innocent, may have a
stamp of truth likely to inllttence the
jury; on the other hand, through nerv
ousness or stupidity, he may commit
himself irremediably. But the safety
of the prisouer depuuds chiefly ou his
counsel; not so much as regards logical
examination of what can be brought
forward for his defense, but according
to the degree of his fervid eloquence
and his knowledge of the best way of
appealing to the feelings of the jury.
The greater number of the jurymen
belong to the class of petty trades
men, half-educated, but having "fait
leur rhetoriqne" in some provincial
school, aud retaining from such studies
a sort of vague, pompous sentimental
ism, easily influenced by big words and
dramatic action. In the days of the
celebrated Lachaud it was said that he
always got an acquittal for a prisoner,
however guilty he might be, for be
knew how to work upon the "sensibil
ity" of the jury.
In France it Is not necessary that all
should agree in the verdict; a majority
of votes is sufficient, aud the two or
three jurvmeu blessed with cool beads
and gooif common sense, who may
take a clear view of the case, are over
ruled by the others, who between the
eloquence of the prosecution and that
of the defense, get into that state of
bewilderment candidly expressed by
Henri Quatre on a similar occasion, and
with him tbey would willingly exclaim:
"Holy Saint Gris! They are both in
the right."
The defense has the last word, and
then the sorely troubled jury retires to
decide as to the life or death of some
poor wretch, who has been adorned
with imaginary good qualities and re
present eu as having acted unuer irre
sistible circumstances by the eloquent
man who speaks so be.iutiftiUy to whom
they have just listened. What is to be
done? He has been proved to have
murdered somebody in cold blood and
with horrible cruel tv bnt then he is so
interesting, poor fellow! Bring in "ex

THE SPEED OF INSECTS.
Common Room Flim Cun Tmvl at
Kate That I Simply Marvelonc
There are manv insects which one
would little suspect to be furnished
with apparatus suited to swift and
more or less continuous flight. House
flies frequent the inside of onr win
dows, buzzing sluggishly in aud out of
the room. But what different creat
ures are they when they accompany
your horse ou a hot summer's day. A
swarm of these little pests keeps per
tinaciously on wing about the horse s
ears; quicken the pace up to teu or
twelve mties an hour, stilt they are
there; let a gust of wind arise, and
carry them backward and behind the
breeze having dropeu, their speed is
redoubled and they return to their post
of annoyance to the poor horse even
when urged to ita fastest pace.
out this example gives only a oartial
proof of the fly's power of flight, as the
following from the N. Y. Ledger will
show: The writer was traveling one
day in autumn by rail at about twenty-
nve mites an dour when a company of
flies put in au appearance at the car
window. They never settled, but eas
ily kept pace with the train; so much
so, indeed, that their flight seemed to
be almost mechanical, aud a thought
struck the writer that they had prob
ably been drawn into a kind of vortex
whereby they were carried onward
with but little exertion on the part of
themselves. But this notion was soon
disproved. They sallied forth at right
angles from the train, flew to a dis
tance of thirty or forty feet, still keep
ing pace, and then returned with in
creased: speed ana buoyancv to the
window.
To accou n t for this, look at t he
wings of a fly. Each is composed of
an upper and lower membrane, be
tween which the blood vessels and
respiratory organs ramify so as to
form a delicate network for the ex
tended wings. These are used with
great quickness, and probably six hun
dred strokes are made per second.
This would carry the fly about twenty
five feet, but a seven-fold velocity can
easily be attained, makiug 175 feet per
second, so that under certain circum
stances it can outstrip a racehorse. If
a small insect like a fly can outstrip a
racehorse, an insect as large as a horse
would travel very much faster than a
eannon ball.
Gladstone's Guiding Star.
She is one of the most charming
looking women jou ever saw. declares
a correspondent of The Ladies' Home
Journal; a sweet, kind face framed in
full, soft, lovely hair, and topped by a
cap of velvet and lace. A gown that
falls in artistic folds aud doesu't rustle,
and a way of looking at you as if she
were interested in everything you said
that's Mrs. Gladstone. She docs not
care for society, as is meant by the
round of balls and receptions, and the
giving and going to them; but she is
delighted when she is at the head of
her own dinner table und has about her
a circle of friends who know and love
her and Mr. Gladstone. Unlike the
wife of any other Prime Minister she
never went in for having a salon, for
surrounding herself with rich and pow
erful friends who would simply care to
be received at the house of a Prime
Minister, and yet have no real interest
iu the cause which he so thoroughly
aud entirely championed. Instead,
she has given her time to caring for
him, to seeing that he was under any
and all circumstances as comfortable
as possible, and, that in this way, bis
health was preserved for the nation
for whom he did so much good. Her
happiest moments are when she is with
her hnsband at Ha warden, but ou
every importaut occasion she has al
wa3s been by his side. Just remem
ber that this means going over the
country in railway trains, being for
hours on open-air platforms, aud then
you will understand why the people of
England worship Mrs. Gladstone as a
heroine.
tHE MIDNIGHT SUN.
Ah !Cp r on th Arotle Com of
Alaka WhlU Awaiting tha KtUf
flhtp.
Just beyohd O ipe Llsburne, on the
Arctic coast of Aln-Jka, some live hun
dred miles above Be li ring Straits, are
extensive coal mines. The. coal Is
easily mined, and the Arctic whale
ships make these mines a rendezvous.
In midsummer there Is a period of a
fow weeks when little or no whaling
can be done on account of the Ice.
During this period a "Lender" arrives
from San Francisco with supplies of
fresh provisions, the mail, etc., and
carries back whatever whalebone and
oil the whnlers limy have secured.
The arrival of the lender Is the most
Important and most looked-forward to
of any event of the season, as she is
the only link that connects the whale
men with the outside world during a
period of eight or ulno months.
This midsummer period is during
the time of the midnight sun, and there
is continuous daylight for about six
weeks.
In 1887, twenty-three whale-ships
lay at unchnr off those mines. Shifts
of men were working during the twenty-four
hours of continuous daylight,
laying iu coal for" the coining cold days
aiid nights of autumn. Every one of
the eight hundred aud fifty, or more,
men frequently scanned the horizon,
eager for the appearance nt the tender;
for it was the middle of July, and not
a word had been heart) from home
hei uoe the middle of Murch. Day after
day the sun had coursed around the
horizon, but not dipped below it. One
vessel after another laid In its supply
of coal, ami was anxious to be off, but
still no tender came. She was due the
first week in Jul, but the 12th, 13th,
14th, ami loth of the mouth came, and
yet no news from her.
Regular watches were kept on board
the vessels as if the sun rose at five
o'clock in the morulng and set at six
at night. Even our rooster clung to
his old hnbits and slept through the
night of daylight, not deigning to crow
until between four ami five o clock in
the morning. The various masters,
anxious to be off. met first on this ves
sel, then on that, to discuss the delay
in the arrival of the lender and to de
cide upon a united course of action in
case she did not appear soon.
Toward noon ou the lGth, a faint
mirage was seen off the Cape. Very
little an was stirriug, and the mirage
grew more and mora distinct until the
tender was seen in every spar and sail,
as clearly outlined in the smooth sea
as if drawn on glass. But she was
keel up!
Three hours later, the vessel's hull
was in full view above the horizon.
She was under full sail with Flags and
colors at the mastheads, bearing the
joyous signal of uews from home.
It was nearly eleveu o'clock before
she reached her anchorage. Not to
waste any time, the captain had a boat
lowered, and before the tender's an
chor was let go, we were alongside.
No words enu describe the situation
or our feelings as we reached the deck.
Hands were shaken, a few anxious in
quiries hurriedly made, and then each
man betook himself to some quiet cor
ner with his letters, to read the mes
sages from the loved ones at home.
As I sat on the rail, looking astern
of the vessel, dreamily picturing scenes
at home, I looked out over the vast ex
panse of ocean. Here and there float
ed a cake of ice. All was so still, so
solemn, yet iu nine with my thoughts.
The star1tjchiTg4ei-

horizon, cast a clear, yeftow light so
clear that the distant hills ou shore
were distinct In every contour and
the rigging of ever- vessel riding at
anchor on the short, rolling sea was
sharp in outliue.
With my camera resting on my
tnee. I took an instantaneous photo
graph as the sun came nut from be
hind a veil of cloud and east its loug
sheeu over the sea from t e horizon
almost to the very stern of the vessel.
Entirely wrapped iu my reverie, I
Mt watching the ceaseless sea. and the
flow of the sunlight, thinking onl of
:he world so many thousands of miles
way. Four mouths of hardship and
ianger were yet a heat I of ns. This
'ittle craft would carry our messages
lome, but with her would go alt com
munication with the world until we
ourselves entered port. What changes
wight these months bring forth!
"Man the 'LucretiaV boat," was the
rude intrusion upou my reverie, and
five strong oars were soon carrying as
to our own vessel.
As the captain and I came over the
rail, the man at the wheel struck eight
bells.
"Just midnight," said the captain.
"And here is the midnight snn.V I
added. Suiting my action to my
words, I took another picture looking
off toward the vessels that lay strain
ing gently at their anchor-cables.
Yellow as the light was, both pict
ures came nut well. Fine detail may
be lacking; but the pictures bring back
a flood of recollectious as they recall
the dangers of that season in the Arc

Gen. Milea on the Indian Question.
Gen. Miles has some verv positive
opinions as to the government's treat
ment ot the Indians and its duty in the
present crisis. It is his firm belief that
an Indian can be made submissive by
feeding and clothing him properly. If
the redskins received all they are en
titled to, there would not be, in the
opinion of Gen. Miles, any more oat
breaks like the one of the past three
months. It costs less money to feed
an Indian than it does to tight him,
aud the results are belter all round.
Gen. Miles is also in favor of the
speedy and liberal adjustment of the
claims of those Indians who remained
loyal to the eroverainent, and who lost
everything but the tepees in which
they now live by the raid ot tne giiost
dancing host ilea, who broke away
from the Rosebud . aud Northern
agencies. If an Indian is to lose his
cabin, his horses, aud his cows for be
ing loyal to the government, and then
be compelled to sit in squalor aud
misery until the administration makes
up its too frequently sluggish mind to
reimburse him, there should be no
surprise, in the opinion of Gen. Miles,
if the neglected sufferer turned savage, .
and sought the sport the Brules in the
present campaign have eujoyed with
out punishment and almost without
hinderance.
Gen. Miles is also of the belief that
the chances of further trouble iu the
spring can be minimized by the re
moval to distant territory ot some ot
the leaders of the irreconcilable ele
ment, as was doue with the Apaches in
the southwest, C. O, Seymour, in

Grounds for Divorce In Italy.
We subjoin a few of the reasons
given for claiming legal separation on
the part of nuircied couples in Italy:
One mau called his wife's sister a thief.
A husband had beaten his wife's pet
dog. Another constantly chewed to
bacco. A third cut off his wife's curls
without her consent. A fourth refused
to take bis wife out for a walk. A
fifth compelled his wife to sit up talk
ing with him after midnight when she
would have preferred going to sleep.
One lady refused to sew on her hus
band's trousers buttons. Another lazily
stayed in bed till noon every day. A
third would not let her hnsband go

A fourth "lady" dragged her husband
out of bed by his beard. A fifth went

A Story Told on m Htnart KnflUliman la
America.
A good story is told at the expense
of one Englishman who came to this
country with the British and; German
steel manufacturers last October. The
American system of cheeking trunks
seems to have nuzzled tha foreigners
not a little, und when the party ar
rived at New York they had among
them fully 2,500 pieces of baggage.
Here their difficulties commenced.
After "doing" the cities along the At
lautlc coast, in which the baggnge got
into a terribly mixed state, the party
returned to New York, preceding the
Pittsburg trip. At the latter point 400
pieces of baggage had arrived during
the first two days. The entire outfit
was wrathy, and the male portion
heartily cursed the railroads and all
things American.
But the cruelest thing happened to a
young Britisher. By mistake he had
checked his "boxes" through to
Chicago from New York. At Pitts
burg he was in a sorry plight. No
baggage but a small hand bag to dress
from during the four days' visit. Up
on arriving at the Auditorium he was
in a high state of perturbation.
"Have me buwxes arrived?" said he
to the clerk.
"Hey?"
"Me bawxea."
"Eh! O. your trunks. Front! Fiud
the gentleman's trunks."
They were not to be found. The
clerk suggested that they might be at
the statiou. He would send for them
next trip.
"Cawn't wait,' growled the English
man. "I've beeu a week without me
bawxes. I'll go myself."
A cab was called, and with a tip to
cabby to "jingle off quick, now," the
station was soon reached.
Have you me bawxes here?" said ha
to the agent.
"Huh!"
'Me bawxesP"
Trunks, d'ye mean? Let's see yer

rh Way of tlia Amrlcm Jar-man a
Known In England.
The strange custom in America ot
appointing men to office without any
regard to their previous career or
occupation frequently leads to the
most extraordinary incidents, which to
English readers unacquainted ' with
transatlantic life would appear extrav
agant, even if tbey witnessed tbem on
the stage of some theatre devoted to
opera bouffe. Thus, what can lie more
comical than the conduct of the Dakota
judge, a veterinary surgeon by trade,
who was asked by n citizen to be ex
cused from serviug as a juryman on
the plea that he had a sick horse. "Is
it yonr sorrel mare?" inquired the
judge, his professional instinct getting
fortheinoamut the better of his judi
cial dignity. "Yes, your honor," re
plied the man. "The court will ad
journ for one hour," exclaimed the
judge. "I know something that will
cure that sorrel mare inside of twenty
minutes;" and thereupon the court
linked arms with the 'juryman and.
accompanied by the prosecuting attor
ney, the sheriff and the prisoner, w horn
the sheriff did not like to leave behind,
sought the indisposed sorrel.
Nor was it so very long ago, says
the Pall M'lll iSasette, that a big raw
boned man at Julesburg. Colo., de
clined to go on a jury because, as he
expressed it, "he couldn't bear to serve
under no man that he could lick."
meaning the judge. Now, the latter,
when not dispensing justice from the
bench, was dispensing drinks at the
bar of the liquor saloon which he
owned," and in his younger days he bad
acquired considerable fame as a
bruiser. The dormant instincts of the
latter awoke and arose to the surface
on hearing the objection put forward
by the refractory juryman.
Laying aside its judicial ermine, the
court got down from the bench into
the body of the court, requested the
spectators to form a ring, and, with
the clerk as timekeeper and the pris
oner as referee, fought the large man
for fifteen minutes, thoroughly remov
ing the latter' hesitation to serving on
that particular jury. ' As soon as bis
honor had accomplished this he re
sumed his seat on the bench and went
on with the trial.
ONLY AN ACCIDENT. .
Bat It Rm Given Rl ta II
Nntnroil Raillery.
A well-known young lady of this
city recently met with an accident
which has occasioned her much annoy
ance, by reason of the good-natured
rallying of her friends, says the St.
Paul Pioneer Press. It would hardly
be fair to meution the lady's name, but
her acquaintances will readily recog
nize her by her personal charms, her
bright, winning ways and her many
accomplishments, among the latter be
ing that of horseback riding, in which
she is an expert. She never lacks for
escorts in her rides about the country
and a few days sinco she and a male
companion, also welt known in the
city, rode out to one of the lakes be
yond the northern boundary of town.
While ridiug along the beach the
gentleman suggested that it would be
a good play to allow the horses to
driuk, and, acting on the suggestion,
they rode into the water nntil it nearly
reached the stirrups of their saddles.
It was a warm day, they had been
riding fast and the cool water was
very grateful to the beasts. The horse
which the youug lady was riding, after
enjoying the situation for some min
utes, seemed to reason that if to have
his legs submerged was so pleasurable
it would be much more so to pot his
whole anatomy under water.
Acting on this idea he proceeded to
lie down, entirely regardless of his fair
burden. There was a fomtuiue scream,
a splash, a masculine ejaculation, an
other splash, and then the gentleman
was wading to the shore carrying tho
dripping form of his companion in his
arms. Several spectators who had ar
rived on the scene say that it took the
gentleman an unreasonably long time
to reach terra fir ma, but he finally suc
ceeded in landing his burden. Now
the young lady declares she will never,
never ride into the water again, but
she probably does not mean it, while
the young man acts as though he would
give a week's salary to have the acci
dent occur again.

SPOTTERS ON STREET-CARS.
Moon flpotferi -ty th fiondnctora. They
Arm fiivrn III Htxth Ir-re,
Every street-car line in New York
employs from fortv to sixty "spot
ters," who are paid" 20 cents around
trip, and whose business it is to see
that all fares received are rung up on
the car indicator.
"It's the easiest thing in the world,"
said a Broadway car conductor to a
World man "for us to spot them. In
the first place they have to keep track
of every person who gets on the car,
and they can be -seen taking notes.
The usual method is for the spotter to
carry a pocketful of beans. As a pas
senger gets on the car he transfers a
beau from tho full pocket to an empty
one, and when he leaves the car, as he
usually does when it nearly reaches
the terminus, he looks at the indicator,
aud at his leisure counts the beans and
sees if the number tallies with that
shown on the register.
"Usually tho spotter gets on the ear
about five blocks from the starting
place. One of them once told a friend
of mine that he had two pockets in
one, so he didn't have to take his hand
cut at nil; The spotter's word is al
ways taken, nnd It Is seldom that a
conductor gets aurthing but his dis
missal notice.
"There is no appeal from nis report.
Seven trips a day is the average made
by these men, and if they do not re
port a man or two a week the officials
think they are not attending to busi
ness. : There Is one consolation to
honest conductors, however, and that
Is that the spotters have men to watch
them, and no one spotter is known to
another. Their statements are all
mailed to the car superintendent at his
residence, ami they get their pay each
mouth by mail. It sometime happens
that two will board the same car un
known to each other, and perhaps give
In different reports. Whenever I am
sure of a spotter I give him the sixth
degree as he gets off the can
"1 can't teUyou how it is done, bnt
It works to a charm, and before night
four or five other conductors know
bim, and the next day he is known to
as many more, so that in a few weeks
most of us get on,' as the boys say.
It never fails, and the spotter becomes
a walking sigu to the men on the road,
whose eyes are as keen as can be."
A Child's Sense of Justice.
Nothing seems to burn into the
memory and heart of a child as an no
deserved punishment, however trifling
the matter may seem to the ad alt in
flietor. Iu some children of the sunny,
hopeful type the wave of indignation
and helpless, unspoken protest against
unjust correction passes away, and
leaves apparently no trace. To other
childreu, with more sensitive natures
or more rebellious dispositions, unjust
words of reproof kindle fires of rage,
which smoulder with sullen persistence
under the ashes of seeming forget ful
ness, ready to burst out violently and
unexpectedly. If this seems an over
drawn picture one has only to think
backward to one's own childish days,
aud to recall the time when careless
treatment by the elder first taught us
to be bitter unforgiving, resentful.
A child's seuse of justice is as keen
as his heart is tender, and this is one
of the qualities most necessary to a
noble character; a quality that must
ba blended with truth nati honor and
self-sacrifice to give the right balance to
dispositions that would otherwise work
harm. A child's justice is always tem
pered with mercy to those he loves,
and when in the home he is justly and
tenderly dealt with, he learns little by
little ttiat higher sense of justice to
wards all with whom be comes in eon
tact. When his own small rights are
carelessly and continually thrust aside,
he, too. learns to play the brigand, to
invent devices to achieve the might
which he has learned makes right.

How Tea la Carried In Tibet.
The packages of tea, each about four
feet long, six inches broad, and three
to four thick, and weighing from sev
enteen to twenty-three pouuds, are
placed horizontally one above tbe
other, the upper ones projecting so as
to come over the porter's head. They
are held tightly together by coir ropes
aud little bamboo stakes; straps, also
of plaited coir ropes, pass over the por
ter's shoulders, while a little string
fastened to the top of tbe load helps to
balance the huge structure, which it
requires more knack than strength to
carry, for its weight must bear on all
the "back and ouly slightly on the
shoulders. Iu their hands the porters
carry a short crutch which they place
under the load when they wish to rest
without removing it from their backs.
The average load is nine packages, or
from 130 to 200 pounds, but I passed a
num ber of me u carrying seventeen
packages, and one had twenty-one. A
man, I was told, had a few years ago
brought an iron safe weighing four
huudred pounds fur Mgr. Biet from
Ya-chou to Ta-chien-lu in tventy-wo
days. Old or decrepit people com
monly travel along this road borne on
the backs of porters. Many of tbe
women porters carried seven packages
of tea, nearly two hundred pounds,
and children of five and six trudged
ou behind their parents with one or
two. The price paid for the work is
twenty tael cents (about twenty-live
cents) a package, and it takes about
seventeen days to make the trip from
Ya-chou. So far as my knowledge
goes there are no porters in any other
part of the world who carry such
weights as these Ya-chou tea-coolies;
aud strange as it may appear, they are
not very muscular, and over half of
them are confirmed opium smokers.
