AN OLD PUZZLE REwRITTEN.-"If yOu
please, sir, I'm poor BOY, but I'm awfully
smart aud / want to work"
The storekeeper looked at his customer
i'm astonishment. The boy was lt:le bit
of fellow, and his chin came just over the
top of the counter.
aWell," said the storekeeper, '.you seem
to have pretty good idea of yourself"
That's So" said the boy, 81 lost my
last place cause | was smart"
"All right, then, III show you where
YOU made a great mistake when you Say
you'ie smart. Do you see that jug over
there ?''
s'No, SIR" said the boy, looking hard at
a green box marked, "Six gross safety
pins"
s'Not there, way back in the store"
ooh, yes," said the boy.
''Now that jug is full of vinegar 1t holds
eight quarts, but | haven't any empty
measures excepting one holding five quarts.
Now, if you're as smart as yOu say you
are, perhaps you can measure the four
quarts from the eight quarts by using the
three and five ?"
Il can do it," said the boy, 'just as
easy as fishing"
'If you do, III give you two dollars a
week and your clothes. No guessing now,
YOU must measure exactly
GAN right" said the boy, shave your
tailor here in fifteen minutes 10 measure
me, please"
The tailor might have come earlier, as
the boy had the four quarts Of vinegar
measured out in less than five minutes.
How did be do it?

the death of George McCutban, the driver.
at the bands of the savages. When he saw
the band of Indians making towards him
he wheeled round in an instant and put bis
four horses ou the full run in the direction
of Dry Creek. 1t was race for life.
Although the horses were the best stock
on the road, it could not be expected that
they would maintain the aSceudancy in
speed with such heavy load to pull and
the savages pursuing them on horseback.
, But the driver and his passenger, know
ing the fate :hat was in store for them If
they fell into savage hands, pushed along
for few minutes at a lightning rae.
The bullets of the pursuing savages were
whizzing round them thick and fast, but
they needed them not. They were appall-
ed, however, at the fact that the distance
was gradually lessenIng between the pur-
suers and the pursued, but in this dire
emergency their coolueSS did not desert
them,
The demoniac yells of the savages were
now heard close to their rear. The dis
tance sped over was about three miles, and
then began new phase of the struggle for
life.
1t was but the work of an instant foI
driver and passenger to jump from the
stage and cut loose the leaders. This they
did, and each man mounting a horse sped
onward, leaving the stage and the other
two horses behind them.
They now seemed in a fair way to escape,
| The savages kept right on after them,
seeming not satisfied with the booty that
had been left them. About two miles had
been made when an unlocked for accident
occurred. The horses were still carrying
all their harness, and being thus encum-
bered the one ridden by the driver stum-
bled and fell. He did not drag the other
horse down with him, although the horses
! wore still connected with the harness as
when attached to the wagon. The horse
ridden by young Hamilton detached him.
self, and he was left to keep up the race
alone. Poor McCuthan had no time to get
his horse up and mount him.
The savages were already upon him,
and Immediately began their brutal and
torturing work, killing MIN by slow pro-
cess and matilating hIs body. One Of his
eyes was gouged out. The fiends took his
watch, rifled his packets and left his dis
| figured body near by. The mail sacks on
the stage we're subsequently cut open and
| their contents either appropriated or des-
| trDyed.
Hamilton was pursued a short distance,
! but the chase was given up. lie ran h's

sage bush. When opposite Dry Creek the
animal sank from exhauStiun. Hamilton
