A Fable For a Cent.

A goose which was travelling across the
country for the benefit of her dyspepsia was
resting herself in bit of thicket, when
along came two foxes in search of something
not too utter for dinner. Bring red and dis
appointed, it was only natural that they should
feel quarrelsome, and as they halted near the
thicket one of them observed:
"If you were half as sharp as the books
make you out you would not be hungry
enough to gnaw at the bushes.
"And if you were half as big as you think
you are you would pass for lion, minus the
roar" sneered the other.
~ don't went any impudence from no Is
cent animal of your build" warned the first.
"Don't give me any chin. music or I'll make
wreck Of you!" yelled No. 2.

"Ditto !"
you're a-!'
AT this point the goose could stand it no
longer. Walking out from the thicket she put
on benevolent look and observed:
"Gentlemen, let me settle this dispute. In
the first place wish to remark"
But she never remarked. The foxes made
a rush and gobbled her up, and as they
picked their teeth of the last of the feathers,
No. I remarked:
None but goose would have sought to
settle dispute between two foxes"
"And while I have great respect for peace

means to think pure and charitable
thoughts, to tame the tongue, to govern
the spirit, to k ,ep the hands clean from
taking unlawful gains, to think, to
speak, to do the best possible every time.
1t is very hard and difficult task at first.
1t is so easy to find fault, to quarrel, to
be mean and selfish. But every tempta-
ton resisted, every evil habit overcome
lightens the labor, until the weak and
sinful nature grows to the "stature of
perfection in Jesus Christ" Such seems
to be the Bible way of salvation.
A plain, manly straightforward course,
easy of comprehension. To trust in God
and keep his commandments. 1t is not
so much to "talk religion" as to be it and
live it. Praying long wordy prayers, or
giving to be seen of men, are but breath
and money wasted so far as their possessol
is concerned; but it is to make life pray.

Trossom and Bloomfield Discharged.

Readers of the GLOBE will recollect
that Bohemian named Jacob Heraf was
killed by a Short Line train at the Fort
street crossing Saturday evening, the 25th
of March. The train was in charge of
Joseph .. Trossom, conductor, and VIM.
Bloomfield, engineer. At the inquest
held the Monday following the
jury found these officials guilty
Of gross carelessness and negligence,
upon which finding complaints were
sworn out and Trossem and Bloomfield
arrested. Brought up to plead, con-
tinuance was granted until 10 O'Clock
yesterday morning, bail in $1,000 being
furnished for their appearances.
In pursuance with this continuance,
the case was called at the hour named
above yesterday, the accused being
represented by Messrs. Flandrau 81
Squires, and the state by County Attor-
ney Egan. The hearing of evidence and
argument of counsel, with a recess at
noon of two hours, occupied the court
until nearly 6p. m, and resulted in the
discharge of the accused, the evidence
produced not sustaing the finding of the
coroner's jury, of carelessness on their

TEXAS TRAIN ROBBERY.
Six Men Go Through a Train, the PssseH
gers Yielding Up Hurriedly, but Abund
antIy-BIoodhounds in Pursuit.

DALLAS, April S.-The north bound train
on the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe road was
robbed few miles south of Cleburn at 1C
o'clock Friday night, at water station called
Blum. Six men wearing masks and roughly
dressed entered the passenger coaches. Two
took their positions to guard the doors al
either end, while the other two went through
the car with cooked pistols, one carrying q
pillow slip, ordering missionary fund. u
The passengers did as ordered. When they
were about through with the passengers the
conductor entered the car, and seeing what
was up rushed for the express car. One of the
robbers fired at him, but he escaped unhurt,
the ball passing through the express car door.
All the robbers then jumped off and disap-
peared.
The amount secured is not known. Sever.
al parties gave up large sums. One of the
passengers says the robbers got about $500,
others say not over $500 or $500. The proba.
bility is, that those who were robbed do not
like to make known their losses. The officers
were notified and posse with bloodhounds
were put in pursuit. 1t is thought this is the
gang who attempted to wreck the north
bound night train three weeks ago by remov.
ing rail. The authorities suspect certain
parties, green hands at the business, and will
endeavor to secure their arrest. The robbers
used old caps and ball and navy revolvers.

slowing it upon friend of his Of the
female persuasion. From that time till
Friday morning Marden has not been
seen or heard of by the police. though
they have waited and watched patiently
for him. Had he been swallowed
up by an earthquake he could not
have disappeared more thoroughly
and completely On Thursday last, very
much to the surprise of the force the po-
lice learned that he was in st. Paul. A
thorough search was made for him which
continued all night without lntermlsslon,

feared the information that he was in
town was mistake, till yesterday as
Capt Clark was passing along Sixth street
near Minnesota, he saw the bird and
placed his delicate hand upon him and
again placed him in the cage. His sud-
den disappearance is explained by his
admission that he got out of the Still
water state prison Thursday morning.
This is all he will say. He utterly re-
fused to state where he was sent from,
or what he was sent for, and it is sup
posed that he went up under an assumed
name. He is safe now and is likely to go
back to Saltwater.

railroad. Not getting pay to-day as expected
they congregated around the Zoller house,

The grand army post was called out and dis
pursed the rioters, but not before they had
done considerable damage. None of the in
mates of the hotel were seriously injured
though some of the Italians were wounded by
pistol shots fired by the inmates. Trouble is
feared tonight as the Italians threatened to
burn the town. Help from neighboring town
has been asked for and when it arrives there

HOW 10 GET RELIGION

The wayfaring men, though fools, shall not
err therein.-Isaiah IS: VIII.
How does q person get religion?"
said young man. ~ have spoken to
Christians, TO ministers even, and they
all answer me, Why, you must get con-
verted, you must experience religion;
and l am waiting until l shall experience
change Of heart" 1t is by such words
as these that Christians make the way of
salvation appear mysterious and uncer-
tain, make getting religion process of
incubation to prevent the ravages of
sin. In the Bible the direct declaration
is made: "Whosoever will, let him take
Of the waters of life freely"
Before starting out in the narrow way
the first thing necessary is to count the
cost. The promises made to the
children of God are, not only
Immortality and the joys and
blessedness of the fair city of God, but
are also for the life that now is. They
are promised peace, rest, strength to en-
dure trials, and always and everywhere
an Eabiding sense of the friendship of
Christ and God. These are some of the
rewards of a Christian life. To realize
these promises man must give up every
sin, he must edo justly, love mercy, and
walk humbly with his God" Having
counted the cost and resolved to be a
child Of God, then all that remains to be
done, is to do the best one can, and trust
in God. To do the best one can, means
to think the best thoughts, speak the fit
test words, and perform the noblest
actions. The regeneration must begin in
the heart and mind, then the words and
actions will follow. One great reason
why so many protesting Christians are
such reproach to the church is
that their profession is all the religion
they have; they united with the church
at a time of religious excitement, or as a
matter of business, and their hearts being
unchanged their actions correspond.
To be Christian is certainly no easy
matter. There are foes within and with
out and the trials are intense, but the
abiding sense of the friendship of his
Creator and Redeemer will give the
Christian strength to endure all the
buffetings of temptation, all the griefs of
mortality. Is there any dearer Joy on
earth than to confer pleasure and happi-
ness upon friend? There is no relation
in life so dear or sacred as that of friend
In joy or adversely the heart rests Sc
curely on his truth. The friendship of
God and Christ, in all its length and
breadth, the human mind cannot meas
ure. The full meaning of such words as
these, 'Be not dismayed. l am thy God.
I, the Lord, do keep them. Lo L
am with you Away" only eternity
can reveal. The young man, constrained
by this wondrous love, and feeling the
desirableness of the Christian character.
and looking forward with hope to the
final appearing of his Savior, commences
a Christian life He is not saved as many
evangelists claim. He has put on the
armor only and enlisted under the Great
Captain, and whether he shall join in the
last great triumph or not depends upon
his faith in God. There is no chance of
failure if his faith holds out. God will
never leave him nor forsake him. To
