Arthur, aged IA years.
Their railroad robberies are as no
torious as themselves. In addition to
those already mentioned were those of
trains ION the Kansas & Pacific rail-
road near Muncie, Missouri, in Decem-
Der, 1874, which were robbed of "a 900 !;
one on July, 1876, near Otterville, on
the same road, of $4,000 and one at
Glendale, on the Chicago & Alton, in
the fall of 1879, of $4,000.
In September, 1873, they robbed a
bank in West Virginia of $4,000, and
shortly after made an attempt on a
bank at Mortified, Minnesota, which
was frustrated by ''time lock" The
citizens were aroused and drove them
away, while fifty men followed in pur-
suit, the James brothers, however, es-

cripple for life, and he retired to his

Detectives innumerable have essayed
to capture them, and several posses
have gone out against them but the
detectives were detected and killed
and the James boys were always fore
warned of any raid upon them show
ing that they were surrounded by
friends and sympathizers.
Jesse James was Il cruel, brutal fel-
low, and trusted for escape more to his
audacity and quickness than to hi:

The editor of the Rutland Herald is
perfectly satisfied with the makeup of
the Presidents cabinet, and he thinks
it rather an improvement on that Of
his predecessor. There is difference
of opinion on that subject. We are
not inclined to question the ability of
most of the cabinet members; but we
do believe that it would have been just
rs wise thing possibly wiser-if Mr..
Arthur had not been so fast to dispose
of the Garfield element and gather so
thoroughly stalwart tribe about him.
Most people believe that the desirable
principles which Garfield inaugurated
would have been more sure of success

THE DAILY ARGUS.
Dostoefsky's Pigeon.


Il writer in the Journal karkaz re-
lates a touching incident in Dostoefsky's
exile life in Siberia. In the household
CT a certain officer, to whose charge the
novelist and other prisoners were at one
time committed, was governess, to
whom belonged a number of tame
pigeons. The governess was considered
to have great influence over the officer
and the exiles stood duly in awe of her,
though among themselves she was spok-
en- of as s'Nyetkaa Ca disrespectful
diminutive of Anna). 'sNyetka's pigeons
used often to fly into our yard. says
the narrator, land many of ms looked
at them with covetous eyes. The ward
ers, however, kept a sharp lookout that
we did not catch any of them"
One young pigeon grew particularly
attached to Dostoefshy, who fed it reg
uiQrly with bread, so that it came every
day to him for its dolee At first the
warders were for preventing this, but
seeing that Dostoefsky meant the bird
no harm they winked at the Slight in
diligence. One day the prisoners, on
account of some unusually laborious
work upon which they had been en-
ployed during the day, were brought
back to the prison little earlier than
the wonted hour 1t happened that
they passed by the officers house just
as the goyerness was feeding her pigeons.
A madeap thought came into Dostoefs-
ky's head. He yielded to it. and whis-
tied his favorite to him. The birds all
rose in the air, and the prisoners pet
flew up to him and began circling round
his head The governess. enraged at
this. rushed straight up to Dostoefsky:
us it YOU, you scoundrel. who entice
away my pigeons? You shall pay for
this. The narrator could not catch
the words of Dostoefsky's reply, they
seemed, however, to convey some i'm
pressive rebuKe. Contrary to expects
ton. Dostoefsky was not punished in
any way for his boldness A fortnight
later the prisoners learned that Nyetka
had gone back to Russia taking her
pigeons with her But the bird that the
novelist had attached to himself contin-
ued to come to his hand. Whether it
had escaped and returned to him out of
its own accord. or whether it was inten-
tionally left for the poor prisoner by the
impuisive. but perhaps good-hearted
Nyetk;t, remained a mystery. One
thing was certain-the treatment of the |
prisoners grew more harsh after her de- |
parture. -fthen6u3Il

The Fall.

Here is y boy composition on fall:
This is fall, because ii falls on this sea-
son of the year. Leaves fall. too, as
well as thermometers and the price of
straw lists. Old topers, who sign the
pledge in summer, are liable to fall
when fall cider-making opens, for
strnws show which way the cider goes.
Huskiny corn is one of the pleasures of
fall, but pleasure isn't good for boys, l
don't think. Old men want little fun;
let them fsusiz. A husky old man can
gp through good deal of corn some
times. Digging taters is another of our
fall amusements. The way l like to
dig taters Is to wait until they are baked
nicely. and then dig them out of their
skins. Most winter schools open in the
fall. The best winter school | went to
didn't open until spring, and the first
day it opened the teacher took sick, and
the schoolhouSe was locked up for the
season. Once in while we have a
very severe fall, but nothing like the
fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of
Eden. Summer is misnamed. 1t should
be called pride. for doesn't pride 90 be-
fore fall?

Rest at Last,

Hurry and worry kill their tens Of
thousands of busy women. There comes
before my mind, as / write, the care
worn faces of many disheartened house
keepers. Day after day passes, but
still there is plenty of work on hand
that ought to be done; in fact, it always
seems to be increasing. The house
must be kept perfectly clean. for dirt in
the house is sin co. The children
must be kept looking ''as well other
people 81 The husband is too poor to
hire help in the house. and ten chances
to one the poor wife has to bear burdens
that rightfully belong to him to bear.
He does not mean to be unkind, but he
does not know the pain she suffers in
silence and he cannot realize the weak
ness which makes her work burden.
And SO the years glide on, until mind
and body can bear up under the fearful
strain no longer. Then the toil-worn
hands are folded, the throbbing, burn
ing brain becomes cool, and the sufferer
is laid to rest-rest at last. Why do so
much unnecessary work? It is wrong TO
waste strength and time thus. There
is a great deal of work done which
never ought to be; it may seem neceS-
sary, but experience will teach you, if
you will allow it to, that it is not. Con-
stantly dwelling upon the one subject
of house-work. the mind becomes NOR
bidly sensitive, and trif1es will rear them
selves into mountains. This is a fact
experience has taught me. The more
work You do the more you will see to
do. The more you brush and scour the
more dirt you will see. There is time
to stop. and happy are they who know
the time.
