He DIDN'T HAVE FAITH.

"When L was young man," said the
Judge, whipping the beer off his trou-
sers with handkerchief he had bor-
rowed from Billy Wood. ssI knew a
blacksmith in our village who was one
of the hardest tickets in the place. A
revival preacher came along, and Tom
was converted. It made great change
in him, and he was held up by church
people as a single example of the saw
ing power of grace. After Tom had
been travelling on the road to heaven for
about three weeks his turn came tc be
examined on the fitness for church mem
bership. Tom was an awful heathen,
and, although he could sing and pray
with the loudest, he couldn't read, and
knew no more abont the Bible than n
wild African. The session q think
that's what they call it) met, one Satur-
day night, and Tom went in, with his
face washed and his cap on his head,
looking little embarrassed, but as hap.
by as new converts alway are. After
the playing and other preliminaries the
parson got to work on Tom. He tod
him the story of Jonah and the whale,
and asked him if he believed that.
"Believe that man was in q whales
belly an came out alive % cried Tom
''Do the Bible say that. parson 2'' Ger
tainly, certainly, BROTHER "Oh, yes,
yes Of course believe. it." says Tom.
"Do you believe that the three Hebrew
children, ST Iadrach, Meshach and Abed-
nego, were cast into furnace heated
seven time hotter than usual, and that
they walked in the fame praising the
Lord, and not even their garments were
singed?" Toms eyes bulged out of his
head as he looken at the parson and
gasped :: "Do the Bible say that, par
son!" Yes, q course, my brother. .
''That them fellers you spoke of walked
around in fire seven times hotter'n I kin
heat my forge % eyes, my brother do
you believe it," Tom rose up and got
out into the aisle. Then he sputtered :
''No, [ don't. And I don't believe that

a GRANGER TAKEN IN,
From the Omaha Bee.

From The Omaha Bee.
About month ago, or perhaps long
er, young, good-looking woman came
to this city from Plattsmouth, in search
OF employment. She soon found work
in boarding and lunch house on Tenth
street rs a waiter-girl at the table. Be
ing convenient to. the Union Pacific
Railroad, overland travellers frequently
take a lunch there while waiting for the
tram to start. One day there came to
the house man named Sol. Jenkins,
from Missouri. lie made arrangements
to remain here few days, as he wished
to purchase span of horses, as he said
The truth of it was that he became cap
tivated, and fell in love with the pretty
waiter girl or sight.
The bachelor jenkins easily made the
acquaintance of the girl, and soon de-
c.ared his love in the most fervent
terms. That love was seemingly recip-
rocated, and when jenkins proposed
marriage he was accepted. He also sug-
gested trip to San Francisco, where
they would be married, and the girl ac-
quiesed. He seemed to have plent ty of
money, and acted very literally. As
the story is told, the girl was all the
time i'll 'fcahoots," so to speak, with her
employer, who had kept himself we'll
informed as to the progress of events.
It was arranged that the deceptive maid
en- should get all she could out of the
victim, start with him for San Francisco
and at Papillion station, Just as the train
resumed its western course, step from
the cars, and return to Omaha in a bug
gy with her employer, who would be
there for that purpose.
She needed a complete outfit in the
clothes line, and she easily secured it
from Jenkins, at cost OF about 5000.
He also presented her with some money
and jewelry. The day arrived for the
departure. They took their seats in the
cars, side by side after she had obtained
possession of a first.class ticket to San
Francisco, worth, we believe, about $11O
Her trunk had been placed in the bag
gage car and checked through. The
trunk was fraud, as it contained only
worthless ballast, substituted for her
clothing, which had been left behind.
The train arrived at Papillion, some
fifteen miles from Omaha. The girl
was taking drink of water at one
end of the car, while her victim was at
the other. looking over some papers,
having not the least suspicion that the
idol of his heart would, as the train
started up, step out on the platform, and
off on the ground. But she did, as the
ttrsin went rapidly to the west, she was
soon IN buggy with her employer, driv-
ing toward Omaha at a very lively gait,
every step increasing the distance be-
tween the two.

THE GOLDEN RULE AND THE RULE OF
CODA few days ago a gentleman of
this city received by mail a check for
$500. He deposited it in his bank and
went down into the street, there to be
met by rumor that sent him back in
haste. Just twenty-five minutes had
elapsed. The teller's little door WIS shut.
The money had gone. Had it been
stolen Was the banker a. swindler 2
No he had failed. About the same
time a merchant received large quanti-
ty of goods one day near the close Of
business hours. He made some common
payment, and promised to send check
the next morning. The first announce
ment of the morning was that he had
failed. He had the goods, but the real
owner was without his check. Was the
merchant G thief Ought he to have
gone to jail ? Not at all. He had mere
ly suspended. He was unable to meet
his obligations. Two young men were
recently brought into one OF our police
courts on charge Of stealing shoes from
Third avenue store. They were de-
cent in appearance, and it was believed
by some that they had been driven to
crime by want. Had they failed, or had
they suspended Or was it because
they were unable to meet their obliga-
tions Not at all. They were thieves
common thieves-very common thieves.
They were sent to the penitentiary for
two months.-NeaU York Tribune.

Mr.. and Mrs. jerks we're 1

MIR. and Mrs. jerks were preparing
to go to prayer meeting few days ago
when the cannon was roaring in distant
part of the city to call the voters to a
political meeting. Mr.. jerks was sitting
with his hands folded, looking into the
fire, doubtless contemplating the sinful
ness of politics and politicians. The
cannon roared and the re7erebrations
almost shook the house he was sittir e
in.
''That's shameful waste of powder" +"
he remarked.

let. 81 haven't any more powder on my

mis- friends ; and so, in fact, was half the
excited town of Little Rock, who had
come out to witness the fight, see fair
play, and, If need be, take a hand on
both sides-a part is friends, and a part
as foes.
The preliminaries being arranged, the
principals of the first duel were placed
ten PAGES apart.
''Be firm, steady and fire at the word!'
said Bradley, as he shook the hand of
Granger, and Withdrew.
There were few moments of breath
less suspense, and then the fatal signal
was given. In an instant the arms of
the combatants were raised like two lev
ers of iron, and the next there was q
blended report. Young Granger stood
firm, with the blood trickling down his
face from slight furrow in his forehead,
pioughed by the ball Of his antagonist,
who already lay stretched out on the
earth, shot through the brain.
"Hit, but not hurt 20 said the young
lawyer, coolly, running his finger along
the wound. as his excited friends rushed
mp to him.
Such skill and courage were enough
for even fighting Arkansas. A hundred
stalwart men gathered around our deli
cate little hero, and swore his life should
not be put in jeopardy again, to please
himself or anybody else and placing
him upon their shoulders, they bore him
off back into the town in triumph, his
two waiting antagonists nowise regret
ting the whim of the spectators that had
saved them from standing before such
fatal marksman.
"From that time forth, the star of
Arthur Granger was in the ascendant.
He subsequently married lady of for
tune, and rose to the highest honor the
State could give him.
Great mental abilities could only be
appreciated in Arkansas when united
with great physical courage, and then
the road to distinction lay open to the
fortunate possessor of both.
Though the names above given are all
ficticious, there are many persons living
in the North who have heard the voice
of Arthur Granger in the halls of our
National Congress.

THE Consolidated Virginia mine will

which it will distribute to the stock
holders the usual monthly dividend of
81, ,O8O, OOO There wohld be no Difficult
ty in increasing the product to sS5, ,000,-
600 monthly, but it is deemed prudent
to work the mine to the capacity of ten
dollars per share monthly, in order that
this magnificent return to the share-hol-
ders may continue for years to come.
The people of Nevada have become SO
accustomed to immense yields in the
mines of the Comstock-the dividend in
the aggregate almost equaling the entire
market value of the mine from which
they are disbursed in one OF two years
that even the gigantic achievements of
the Consolidated Virginia excite in them
but little wonder. Nevertheless, the
monthly yield OF the mine is the most
wonderful of all the worlds history of
gold and silver mining. When it is con-
sidered that single mine is producing
bullion at the rate of about SIC, 600, coo
yearly, and dividing among stock
holders nearly s1a, 900, ,ooe 1nnun,
the wealth and magnitud des 1e deposit

A WILLING MAN
From the Vicksburg Herald.

troH tne lckSDufS Herald.
He said he used to be a reporter on a
Cincinnati paper, but lost his situation
for telling the truth. He was out of
money, hadn't had shave OF clean
shirt for twenty-one days, and he want
ed a free pass to New Orleans.
The Herald man replied that the
boats didn't pass anybody this fall, and
the ex-reporter smiled blandly and said
"All right, get me pass to Jackson"
he was told that a-railroad pass was
an impossibility, but that there was a
plain highway which he could take, and
he promptly replied
''I'l take pass on mule team 20
He was made to understand that no
teamster would carry shim on a free
pass, and he pondered awhile and then
said
''fhen I'll go up the river
1t was just as impossible to pass him
up the river as it was down, and when
he came to realize this he said he would
edit the Herald for $50 per week. Being
told that there was no vacancy, he want
ed to set type, to do job work, run a

board, while he was looking around.
The idea was not acted upon, and lie
offered to go to q boarding house. Disap-
pointed in this he wanted to borrow s.,
and when repuised in this direction he
fell into a fit Of dependency, from
which he soon rallied to exclaim:
Hang me, if this isn't tough town
I'm tight UP, but [ won't be hard on
you. If you'll trade hats I'll call it
square and pass on to the next place -
Rebuffed again, he said he'd take it
out in a letter to the Mayor Of New
Orleans, recommending him as a Cl.,is-
tan and gentleman, but he finally
compromised for a few exchanges and a
chew of tobacco, and went down stairs
singing.
