"Oh, Would I Were A Boy Again. >

John Barney was called up before Justic,
Moses to-day, charged with assault on Rich
ard Smith. 1t appeared that Smith and
Barney were walking along B street, when
they came upon number of boys playing
marbles. As both men had in the earlier and
purer days Of the republic played marbles
themselves, they became much interested in
the game One of the boys knocked two taws
out of the ring and yelled "Dubs p while
another shrieked Fen dubs!' The first boy
made grab at the taws, when Smith got
excited and seized him by the collar. drop
that boyn' shouted Barney who by this
time was all aglow with enthusfasm-at the
same time knocking Smith down. Mr. Smith
testified that the boy who knocked the taws
from the ring had failed to yell ''Dubs Y III
time, and he had, therefore, determined to
prevent his grabbing the marbles. Mr.. Bar
ney, on the other hand, swore positively that
the first boy did shout "Dubsl u loud enough
to be heard block away, and in ample sea
son. About q dozen boys testified as to the
way Barney knocked Smith down. and all
looked as wise as owls as they gave their
respective versions of the "Dubs" proposition.
They were about evenly divided but Barney
was fined.

A RObber King.
tPall Mall Gazette.

Inc Hungarian papers announce the death
in the prison of Szamos-Ujvar of the cele-
brated bandit Rosa Sander known in Hun
gary as the "robber king" He was born at
Szejedin In 1913, and both his father and
grandfather were robbers by profession. His
achievements, however, soon eclipsed those of
his family, and he was admired as much as
he was feared The reckless courage with
which he attacked the police, and even mill
tary escorts, on the high road in broad day
light, his generosity toward the poor and his
gallantry toward women made him a sort of
national hero. Some thirty years ago few
people of the weather. classes ventured to
travel In Hungary without paying him
tribute His bands were well armed and or
ganized, and the ssegony legenyek (poor fell
lowl as the bandits were called in those days,
found sympathizers and accomplces among
the peasantry. He was first imprisoned
in 1886. but escaped In the following year by
the assistance of his mistress, q peasant
woman named Kati, whose husband he had
killed by blowing his brains out with pistol
During the revolution of 1913 Rosza Sander
was pardoned by kossuth, and he then or
gained free corps which did good service
against the government troops. After the
suppression of the rising Sander resumed his
former career. He did not again fall into the
hands OF the authorities until 1856 when he
was betrayed by one of his companions, whom
he shot as the soldiers were advancing to cap
ture him. After q trial which lasted three
years Sander was sentenced to be hanged but
the sentence was committed to Imprisonment
for life. He remained eight years in the for
tress of Kufstein, and then was set at liberty
In virtue Of general amnesty But he soon
resumed his old pursuits. In 1863 he attacked
with some of his companions a railway train
at Felegyhaza. The government sent q body
OF troops, under Count Gedeon Raday,
to capture him, and four years later he
was again brought before the criminal
tribunal, together with number of his ac-
complies, among whom were several magis-
trates and high civic functionaries. He was
again sentenced to death, and the sentence
WAS again committed to Imprisonment for
life. The prison to which he was then sent is
the one in which he died.

The Pigeon Roo.t.
Joplin News.


Such scene as Is presented at the great
wild pigeon roost in the Indian Territory
some fifty miles southwest Of this city, is
very uncommon, and has no equal anywhere
IN America. The 'roost' includes a space of
about forty acres in the timber. and when
they return to the roost in the evening the
trees are perfectly black with them The In
dams who own the land will not permit other
parties to take advantage Of the game, but
shoot and throw clubs all night, and the next
morning the ground is literally covered with
pigeons, and they are gathered up, loaded
into wagons and hauled to this gcity, where
the Indians realize from ten to twenty five
cents per dozen for them. During the day
only now and then pigeon can be seen in the
vicinity Of the roOst, but they invariably re-
turn at night. Those who own the land say
they have killed dozens of wagon loads this
fall, and still the number does not seem to di-
minish in the least nor does the nightly
slaughter seem to intimidate Them

Our lips found words scarce sweet enough
As low beneath the willow trees
We sat. Have you forgotten lover
Do you remember love Louise2
Marie. have you forgotten yet
The loving barter that we made?
The rings We changed. the sun that set
The wood full filled with sun and shade
The mountains that were musical
by many an ancient TRUSTING tree
Marie, have you forgotten all ?
Do you remember, love Marie2
Christine. do you remember yet
Your room with scents and roses gay
My garret--near the sky twas set
The April hours the nights of May2
The clear, calm nights the stars above.
That whispered they were fairest seen
Through no cloud veil2
DO you remember. love Christine2
Louise is dead, and. well a day

And pale Christine has passed away
In Southern suns to bloom again

Our bower OF love is ruinous,

she reads its number, date on whom drawn,
