The newest feature in western life
has been the exhibition of the alleged
butdoubtful Bender family, in a Kansas
Comic Theatre, under the auspices of
the sheriff who has them in charge, at
twenty-five cents head admittance
Selling reserved seats for hangings has
long been among sheriffs' perquisites.
In Camden, N. j., not long ago, an en-
terprising official peddled pieces of the
rope. But the Kansas experiment
opens new vistas of business for sheriffs,
and also, perhaps, for detectives and
constables sent to arrest illustrious
criminals and convey them from one
place to another. BY an arrangement
with their charges of sharing the net
profits of exhibitions, they could start
in all the prominent villages on the
way.

to the bureau of the academy to draw
the arrears of pay due to him rs one

A TEXAS STORY.

Texas preachers are said to be very
eccentric. al their mild unnaturalness
has given rise to a great many remarks
and few stories. The following mar
rstive was told as confdentially by a
slanderer:
A minister rose before large audi
ence, took his text and began preach
inG A brisk firing Of pistols began on
the outside of the church.
'Brother Deacon, said the minister,
81 believe those fellows are casting in
situations at me, In fact, am very
nearly convinced" he continued, as a
piece of plaster fell from the wall close
to his head
II think, parson, that it refers to
some one else, 4" replied the deacon.
The minister raised tumbler of
water, and was in the act OF applying
his lips to it when the glass fell, shat
tered by shot.
"This is an inuendo no longer" said
the minister. wiping the water from
his vest. This is what 1 term an un-
mistakable thrust. The congregation
will please sing while 90 out and in
vestigate the matter. Is there another
minister in the house ?"
YES" said man, throwing down a
stick that he had been whiting, and
rising and pulling at the waist of his
pants like man who had just straight.
ened up after setting ont row OF to-
bacco across a broad field.
"Got on an extra
eyes"
''Unlmber."
The whiting preacher handed over
large Remington pistol, which the
insulted preacher took, and drawing
enc from his belt, started ont. After
going out there was an immediate i'm
provement in the firing business. 1t
was decidedly more lifelike, insomuch
that the deacons sat working their
fingers. After while the minister re-
turned, and placing an ear and the
nostril and a half Of nose on the pull
pit, remarked: Gle that hath ears to
hear, let him behave himself" " The
sermon proceeded WITHOUT interru ption.
