1t was in the cars. The ladies were
sitting together husily engaged in con-
%Versation. On the seat facing them sat
a little five year old boy. He had been
looking out of the window, apparently
absorbed in the moving panorama of
the outside world. Suddenly he turned
from the window; he began searching
about the car, exclaiming in a high
plped voice:
Mamma, what makes that man look
SO funnyP"
SSH" cautioned the mother; but the
boy was not to be hushed.
II don't see the man with the bald
head and funny red nose"
The ''sh" was repeated. BY this
time the car was in a litter, save and
excepting IL elderly gentleman with a
very bald head and red nose. His eyes
were riseted on his paper with a fixed
ness that was quite brightful, Again
the boy:
"Ohl now L see him. IIol what a
bright nosel What makes it so red,

Georgia." shouted his mother, in a
stage whisper. But George was not to
be stopped.
Mamma" he continued, "what
made you say he had u lighthouse on
his face. 1 didn't see any lighthouse"
Again, Georgia." and this time with
a light shake.
Once more the piping voice, the bald
headed passenger glaring at his paper
more fiercely than ever and growing
redder ever moment.
MAMMA, 1don't think his head looks
like a state house dome. It's shiny like
it, but it isn't so yaller."
While the litter went round again,
Georges mother whispered to the boy
and gave her hopeful a box on the ear,
which seemed to partly divert his atten-
tion from the bald head headed passtn-
ger, but not entirely. He cried out
once through his tears:
You said his nose was as red as q
beet, mamma; L didn't say nothing"
Strange to say, the bald headed pas
senger didn't take part in the sup
pressed laughter that followed, but he
put on his hat and hid his nose in the
paper, over which he glared at the boy
as if he wanted to eat him. And yet,
where was the boy to blame?

The Old Roy Grows Rapid aud Bucks
h Tiger.

Boston, April IA remarkable at
tempt to extort money from Charles
Francis Adams, and blackmail his fam
lily, has just been unearthed. The first
intimation of the scheme was a warn
ing received by Adams clerk OF Friday
that Adams account at the bank had
been ov~erdrawn. This was considered
very surprising, as he was known to
have had SIS, 900 to his credit there.
An immediate investigation showed
that a check for SIT, 500, regularly en-
dorsed and signed by Adams, but filed
in by another hand, had been deposited
in the Merchants bank some time pre-
vis1sly, and had in the due course of
business come around to Adams bank.
To-day j. S. Morrison was arrested on
the 10 O'Clock train for New York.
He made a statement that the check
deposited in the bank represented money
that Adams had lost in gaming. His
statement further showed that Adams,
who is in feeble health and whose mem
DRY is impaired, was considered u fit
subject for plucking by this man, who
is said to be interested in a "bunko"
game. Morrison met Adams on the
street, and assuming to be a relative
and political friend, decoyed him into a
place on Boyleston street, where a game
was progressing Adams was confused
aud did not seem to know what he was
about, and the sharpers finally induced
him to sign and endorse three checks,
one for SIT, 500, one for 81, 600, and an
other for $3.50.
Morrison frankly said that he did not
believe Mr.. Adams knew what he was
doing, and as he saw him after the
swindle coming from his home without
any apparent agitation, he supposed
that Adams had concluded to allow the
check to be paid.
Another man named j. T. Morton is
implicated, hut has not yet been arrest
ed. The matter was worked up by de-
t~ectives employed by Adams clerk.
Adams, who is 76 years old, has been
somewhat i'll for two years, and his
mind at times is affected. He does not
yet seem to realize the extent or nature
of the transaction. The largest check
wa the only one deposited.

ply said kill him or capture him in your
own way, but do it speedily and surely.
This will be thought justifable by many,
but the act Of the Ford brothers them
selves admits Of no palliation. They
killed their friend, not for revenge or
for the public welfare, but for money.
With the certainty Of immunity from
punishment, they could be hired to kill
the governor in turn, or their own
kindred, or their best friend. Even the
red-handed outlaw who was slain was a
gentleman by the side of such hired cut
Threats, and it will cause no mourning
il some of the desperate men or women
who have been associated with the muir
dered robber avenge his death, and so
let the entire gang go out of existence
together.
1t is quite unfortunate that the life
Of the dead bandit and the of
his taking off contribute to cast a sort of
charm over his career, and make him
the admired of sentimental women, and
a hero to a certain class of young men.
1t is quite certain that his exploits,
magnifed and exaggerated, will be the
theme of stories and songs Of a very
alluring kind to a class who used to de-
light in porting over the mad career of
Claude Duyal and ''Dare Devil Dick"
The quiet capture Of the outlaw, and
his sentence to death or to imprison-
mi ut for life, would have deprived him
of the added sympathy which results
from his treacherous murder, though in
any event he was bound to figure as a
hero to some.
Notwithstanding the name Of his
death, the country is to be congratulate
ed that so daring and desperate a mar
Is out Of the way, and through that sec
ton infested by the robber will breathe
freer from a knowledge of the fact. 1t
is worth suggesting in this connection
that had the plundered railways and
banks offered a fitting reward in the
first instance for the capture Of the out
laws, the end might have come years
ago, and the country spared the inflic-
ton of having such a man figure as a
hero. The speediest and most econo-
mical way is to stamp out such exploits
at the beginning, and we hope that at
the first indication Of a repetition of
such outrages steps will be taken to
crush out the perpetrators at once.

In Tight Plaza.

A young Fond du Lac lawyer learned
something, the other night. We know
it will seem strange that ayoung la@ycr
could learn any thing, but this one adj
nits it himself. He was out calling on
young lady, when young man and
another young lady called, and the
young lawyer thought it would be cum
ming to get down behind the lounge,
and not let them know he was there,
and surprise them by bobbing up serene
ly from below when the proper time
came. They came in and the first
thing they asked for was the young
lawyer, who had told the young man
he would be there that evening, Then
they began to talk about him, discussed
the size of his feet, which they claimed
were large, and the size Of his head,
which they asserted was child's size.
He perspired, and they talked about his
MASKING qualities--how he had mashed
a girl who worked in a laundry, and
the opinion was expressed that he was
a regular flirt, Then they talked about
his family, and he tried to stuff his
ears.
just then. little terrier, belonging
to the girls brother, came in the room,
and somebody said rats" and told the
dog to hunt for them; and the dog went
under the lounge, and began to growl
and shake something, and there was
sound of revelry by night. The other
young man and the two girls rushed
out of the room, and the LAWYER got up
on bis feet, pulling the dog up near his
suspenders by the teeth, and the dog
shook, aud the young man kicked and
yelled, and presently the girls father
came in; and seeing the dog trying to
hold what he supposed was d burglar,
he took an old hair-cloth covered chair,
and was going to brain the burglar,
when the young man told who he was,
and the father unlocked the dog teeth,
after he had remembered the combina-
ton, and the young lawyer took him
self in his hand and went away. Hc
won't speak to the young people NOV.
and it is said he will sue the owner of
the dog for drron, or dtpoce. or some
Latin phrase. The worst thing in the
