4 Brave Boy.
sFrom the Kensley Ks Republican.


A few minutes before four o'clock
this Sunday morning, five desperadoes
having faces blackened, entered the
office Of the railroad depot at this place,
saluting the night operator, Andrew
klnkade, who was at his post, with a
good morning." at the same instant
covering" him with revolvers, and de-
manding the money i'll the office. Mr..
klnkade. with a remarkable presence
OF mind, replied that there was no
money at his command, at the same
time opening an empty money drawer.
The leader of the gang ordered Mr.. X.
10 ''open that safe, Id quick, too, at
the same time showing two cooked re
yolverss in his face. Mr.. Kinkade in
formed the party that he did not
have the key, Gardner had charge Of
it, and they could go tc him at the no.
tel, adding that the funds had gone east
on the train few hours before Mr..
Kinkade bravely stood at his post de-
Tending $, 600 in hard cash of the COM
panys funds which, had he faltered,
would have been taken. The west
bound Pueblo express was approaching,
and something must be done. The five
well-armed highwaymen, confronted by
a boy, were foiled They threatened to
blow his brains out if he did not open
the safe. Kinkade, had had a small
derringer in his pocket, and cooking it
attempted to draw it, when one of the
highwaymen, noticing his move said:

he laid it down on the counter. Kin

CINE, followed by a shot. Running
down the train he informed Conductor
Mallory of the danger. Blanchard was
taken in charge, but made his escape
and armed himself. A dozen shots
were fired into the train, which the rob-
ers stopped after it had pulled out 100
yards. Again the train started and was
stopped two miles up the track, where
it.was detained twenty minutes and
twenty shots exchanged. The town was
aroused. In company with eight or ten
others we boarded a hand car and start
ed to the rescue. The train moved off
before we reached it, and we saw the
mounted robbers, six or eight in num-
Der, well mounted, approaching. They
crossed the track toward the river, and
three or four shouts were fired at them.
A large party, we'll mounted, started in
pursuit at once. A telegram from
Dodge City at 6 a. M, states that Con-
ductor Mallory, Engineer Anderson,
and Expressman Brown held the fort
and lost nothing.

The Affectionate Gorilla.

Col. Thomas Scott sat in the Grand
Central depot at Timbuctoo, arguing
with venerable gorilla on the necessity
of extending the Cairo & Timbuctoo
railway through South Africa at public
expense. 1T will only cost one hun
dred and fifty millions" said Tom, and,
really Mr.. Gorilla, your people are
too much out of the world"
The venerable African listened with
the deepest respect to the utterance of
the railway magnate, and answered him
thus:
owe don't need the railroad, and
can't afford to pay one hundred and
fifty millions for it; and besides, we
gorillas travel on our muscle, and not
by rail"
" What do you suppose I'm here for ?'
rejoined Col. Scott. 1.-The railroad
shall be built, if it takes the last ounce
of gold dust and the last gallon of palm
oil in the country to pay for it.
That's the sort of tooth pick l am"
g Is that SOP softly murmured the
venerable gorilla, who thereupon him,
the said Scott, in his arms did enfold,
and to his heart passionately did press
till the last breath had left his body,
which was carefully laid in a convenient
palace car, with the parting words,
GOOD by, Tom. That's the sort of
gorilla I am"

The Right Time.

Reproof must be administered gently,
if at all. If you are annoyed and vexed
at people, just remember it is not the
right time to speak. Close your mouth,
shut your teeth together firmly, and it
will save you many useless and una
vailing regret, and many bitter enemy.
If you happen to feel a little cross-and
who among us does not at some time
or other-do not select that season for
reproving your noisy household flock.
One word spoken in passion will make
a scar that a summer Of smiles can
hardly heal over. If you are a wife,
never tease your husband, when he
comes home, weary from his days
business. 1t is not the right time. Do
not ask him for expensive OUTLAWS when
he has been talking about hard times.
1t is, most assuredly, the wrong time.
If he has entered upon an undertaking
against your advice, do not seize on the
moment of its failure to say, II told
you sol" In fact, it is never the right
time for these four monosyllables. Oh!
if people only knew how to discrimi-
nate between the right time and the
wrong time, there would be less domes-
tic unhappiness, less silent sorrow, and
less estrangement of the heart.

An Exciting Purchase.

A North Carolina WAGNER sold his
dog to a Laurens county man the other
day for half a barrel of sorghum syrup.
The dog, however, refused to be sold,
and took refuge under the wagon. The
Laurens county man crawled after him
with piece Of meat in one hand and
a rope in the other. Although there
We're several spectators Of the scene
that ensued, it is difficult to get at the
facts. All agree that there was a scuffle
under the wagon, accompanied by yelps,
yells, but no one is willing to affirm that
the man had the dog or that the dog
had the man. Finally the dog, it would
seem, brushed up against the legs Of
the off mule, and then all was still. 1t
is not certain what killed the dog. One
of the spectators said he thought he
heard trace chain rattle, but when he
went around to examine the mule she
was asleep. The man had lost his hat,
his coat, and the greater portion of his
trousers, and a subsequent examination
proved that the dog died with one ear
and handful of hair in his mouth.

How the Judge Repeated the Joke.

The Raleigh IN. c. Observer relates
this anecdOte of an esteemed North
Carolina Judge: "Some years ago a
case was called for trial in Cumberland
Superior Court Among the witnesses
on behalf of the State was to have been
one Sara Mooney. She was not found
in the courtroom, and her name was
called in due form from the Court
House window without effect. Where
upon, the State Solicitor, the late Hon.
Robert Strange, who was fond of joke,
even of a pun, turned to the court and
said: May it please your Honor, the
testimony of this witness is not material
and we will go on with the case without
Sara-Mooney.' Of course, the lawyers
laughed at the pun, but the Judge
didn't see it, and cracked never a
smile. There were no railroads in
those days, and few stage coaches, and
Judge and lawyers travelled from one
court to another IN McKethan's bug
gies. On the road to the next court, in
the Judges own county, there was quite
a procession of lawyers in buggies fol-
lowing the Judges lead. The Judge
called halt in the middle of the stream
to water his horse, and, in the thought
full mood incident to that process. sud
denly astonished his brethren of the
bar by bursting into laughter both loud
and long. He explained that he was
laughing at Judge Stranges good joke.
Arrived at home, through with his
toilet, and seated at supper, his wife, as
wives will, asked of the incidents of
his journey. There had been none of
interest, he said, except the good joke
gotten off by their mutual friend, Judge
Strange, at Cumberland Court. And
what was that, my dearY Well, there
was a case in which one of the witnesses
was named Mary Mooney. She could
not be found, and Judge Strange, amid
shouts of laughter, said, May it please
Your Honor, we will go on without
Mary Mooney" The good lady pom
dered awhile, and said she did not see
very funny in that and, after
q little thinking, the Judge said that
he did not either, then, but that he had
seen it while watering his horse"
