An Outlaws Sweetheart.
Ist. Louis Chronicle. ]

[st. Louis Chronicle
The robbers used frequently to shoot at
targets in company with their sweethearts,
in the shooting the girls sometimes make al
most as good a score as the men, and the
yells that would rent the air as ones ~favorite
lady would split the bullet On the half dollar
as it fell towards the ground would have
done justice to the border scout. Nor were
the young ladies behind them as equestrians.
Miss Ryan, in particular, often boasting that
she could drop the nickle as often in the race
as any of the boys. 1t may be proper here
to explain the modus operandS of the ''nickle
race" A nickle or other small coin is placed
in the forks of a tree, about the distance from
the ground that a mans shoulder would be
while on horseback. Each party has one
shot at it as he flies by on his horse at full
speed. The ladies take their regular turns,
and Miss Ryan has been known to drop tie
nickle three times out of five races, and that
she is indeed at home in the saddle is demon
strated by the fact that when alighting from
her favorite horse, q powerful black horse,
she simply raises in the saddle and leaps to
the ground, while the charger walks to the
nearest hitching post and awaits his rider.
When she is ready to remouut, her intelli-
gent horse comes at her call, and taking the
saddle by the pummel she bounds into it and
is off at a fast gallop, the only gate she ever
rides.

A Surprised Policeman.

s'Talk about bold bank burglaries," said q
member of the police force, 1.-THE sllckest
steal I ever heard of was the robbery OF a
bank down in Rhode Island, six or seven
years ago. 1t was a bitter cold night, and a
night patrolman noticed a dim light in the
bank window, and going up to the door,
raped.
lis that you, patrolman p asked a voice
from within. s.Et+
Eyes" vas the reply.
.'Step il and get q heat" said the voice.
The patrolman stepped in and encountered q
dapper little fellow wearing a green shade
over his eyes and a pen behind his ear.
.sYou're working late tonight" said the
patrolman.
EYES," said the dapper little fellow. 'Tve
been detained tonight Strengthening up &C.
counts"
The patroiman warmed himself at the roar
ing big fire that blazed on the hearth, and
went out again on his beat. An hour after
the patrolman came that way, and still see
ing the light through the window, he raped
again.
rs that you, patrolman"
Eyes"
s.Come in and warm yourself.
The patrolman accepted the invitation.
"It's . bowling cold night" said the man
with the green shade ever his eyes.
.sYou het!" said the patrolman. SO he
took another heat and returned to his beat.
He was rather surprised next day to learn
that his Preside friend Of the night before
had got away with some 500, 900 of the
banks funds"

the far-away wagons. He trembles with
fear as he hears the flap of wings above his
head and sees the strange shadows fitting
over the grass before him, but desperation
has nerved him as it nerves the man who
who sees but one chance for his life. His
steps grow steadier and his limbs feet
stronger as he moves onward, and the angry
and disappointed buzzards are rising higher
when the horse suddenly stops.
What is that Off to the left and q hun
dred yards ahead, a gray object comes creep
ing out of a hidden ravine and skulks through
the grass. Thed a second-a third-a dozen.
Shadows ? No! They are wolves.
As long as he kept moving the buzzards did
not descend, but here was q new and savage
foe from which the feetest horse could hard
ly escape. Now they divide to the right and
to the left to form q circle, and the buzzards
descend again and unnerve the poor beast
with their ominous cries.
Is there a hope? Bracing himself Just as
a man would do to take advantage of a des-
perate chance, the horse suddenly darted for
ward on the trail at q gallop. To reach the
wagon was to live On. To fail was to be
dragged down and torn to pieces while alive,
A sharp cry from the buzzards-a howl from
the wolves-and the race had begun. Brave
old troop horse! Every leap was a gain on
the wagons-every rod opened a new chance
for his life. Fear made him forget those
racking pains-terror gave him such speed
as he had never known before. He was out
of the circle. With ears laid back and head
pointing straight for the wagons, he was
leaving the red-mouthed wolves behind.
Hurra
No! Out from the grass-from hidden
gulch or grass-grown buffalo wallow, more
wolves appear, as if stationed there and told
to wait their turn. They are right ahead of
him. With a groan of despair the horse
swerves to the right, but it is too late. The
old pain comes back-great clouds of foam
fly from his mouth to stain the grass, and all
of a sudden he plunges forward to rise no
more. Next instant there is a struggling,
fighting, yelping mass of gray covering the
spot, and the air is rent with one long quiz
ering shrek of agony, which the buzzards
catch up in wild delight. ss
A hour hence q trampled spot, a stain of
blood and q few bones will catch the red
mans eye for an instant "a he rides apsace
but the gorged wolves will have hidden
away and the buzzards be watching else
where.

A Mistake was Made.

A young lady gave ''her young man" a
beautifully worked pair of slippers, and he
acknowledged the present by sending her his
picture. encased in q handsome frame. He
wrote a note to send with it, and at the same
time replied angrily to IN oft-repeated dun
for an unpaid for suit of clothes. He gave
a boy ten cents to deliver the package and
notes, giving explicit directions as to the des-
tination of each.
1t was a boy with a freckled face, and he
discharged his Grand in q manner that should
give him a niche in the temple of fame.
The young lady received a note in her
adored ones handwriting, and flew to her
room to devour its contents. She opened the
missive with eager fingers, and read:
II am getting tired of your everlasting at
tention. The suit is about worn out already.
It never amounted to much, any way. Please
60 to thunder"
And the tailor was struck dumb when he
opened a parcel and discovered the picture
of his delinquent customer, with a note that
said:
"When you gaze upon the features think
now much l owe you"
When the unfortunate young man called
around that evening to receive the happy &C.
acknowledgement of his sweetheart, he was
very ostentatiously showed off the. steps by
the young lady's father.

Abandoned.
detroit Free Press.l

A broad prairie, with blue-topped noun
tains fifty miles 10 the right-a column of
cavalry riding by tours at a walk--a dozen
white-topped Wagons rear %guard-and
while you are looking at the picture you no
tice a slight commotion among the score Of
troopers following the wagons.
What is it
Nothing-nothing but a troop horse taken
suddenly ill after days of hard riding and
poor provender. The cruel spur urges him
on for a few rods further, but then he stops
and groans and shivers, and it is evident he
will soon fall. Trooper and saddle are off
in an instant, and the gallant old wal horse
bearing the scars of war and faithful to the
end falls to the ground, and seems to be
struggling with death. In five minutes the
marching column has passed almost beyond
hearing. and in another five the body of the
poor old horse on the ground is almost hid
den from the view of the men in the saddle.
The wagons are not three miles away when
strange shadows begin to dance about on the
grass around the horse. He is not dead. The
terrible pains which racked him, caused, per-
haps, by a poisonous weed, have passed
away, and, though weak and dripping with
perspiration, he feels life coming back to
him. He raises his head to look at the shad-
dows. How swiftly they fit to and fro !!
Shadows, and yet the horse sees nothing
but grass and flowers and weeds on every
side.
s'Croak croak croak! !"
All there is the clew to the strange shad-
dows! Five hundred feet above his head are
a score of buzzards, sailing to and fro, and
the horse is on his feet before the last hoarse
note is uttered. Does he realize that the
buzzards saw him from afar off and called
each other to the feast +? If not, why did
their direful croaks bring him to his feet,
and why does he tremble as he gazes after
the disappearing column ?
sCroak I! croak croak!"
The tone has changed. The call betrays
surprise and anger, and the birds rise a little
higher.
The horse is moving away. His steps are
slow and short, but his eyes are fastened on

PEOPLE WHO SWEAR.
Examples Quoted by Mr. TaImase OF
Men Who Have Cursed God
and Died.

The Brooklyn Tabernacle was crowed
Sunday morning when Mr.. Talmage took his
text from the ninth verse of the second chap.
ter of Job, Course God and Die" Prefacing
his remarks with the story of Jobs tribula-
tons and his refusal to curse the Lord at the
command of his wife, Mr.. Talmage said
that blasphemy is one of the ten plaques.
The drayman curse in the street and the girl
swears in the factory. Little children swear
men swear, ladies swear (half suppressed
lsughter), from the calling on the Almighty
in the low restaurant up to the "Oh Lord -
from female lips in the glittering drawing
room. 1t was no profanity when James A.
Garfield in the Washington depot cried out,
''Oh my God! What does this mean -
There is no profanity in calling on God in
the day of desolation. Between sixteen and
twenty years of age there is a time when a
young man is as much ashamed at not being
able to swear freely and gracefully as he was
by the dizziness caused by his first cigar. It
is not heard in the drawing oom-men have
no reverence for God. but they respect the
ludies. Fathers and children swear. The
crime is also fostered by master mechanics
and those at the head eff great business
houses. Some men say they only swear
once in a great while, when they get mad
they've got to do ito clear themselves out.
The habit comes from bywo-ds, "My stars"
Mercy On US Goodness gracious !! By Jove!
BY George !" daughter among the ladies).
These words, perfectly harmless in them
selves, are next door to swearing. The con-
tinual use of bywords always leads to profan-
ity. Here the preacher asked if there were
not words enough in the English language to
express ones hatred and condemnation of
anything mean and false without having re-
course to swearing. He would let any man
begin and curse and he would come after
him and express stronger condemnation and
hatred with good, pnre English words.
There 10 not" he continued, "a city or
village which cannot give you an illustration
of a man struck down in the moment Of inn
precation. In New Brunswick, n. J., just
before I went there as a student, a man on
the railroad uttered a horrible oath. A train
came along and struck him dead. the ply
sicians in charge when examing the body
found hardly a bruise, except that the tongue
was cut out. No mystery in it. He cursed
god and died. In Scotland there was q club
for a horrible purpose. Whoever uttered the
mast horrible oath was to be president. The
man who assumed the chair contracted q
most peculiar disease. His mouth swelled
and his tongue protruded out of his mouth.
The physician could not understand it. There
was no record of such a case. | understand

Of Catskiii d crowd Of men stood in the
blacksmith shop during a storm. a clap of
thunder came and they were frightened. One
man said 81 am not afraid I can defy

went out. He shook his first at the heavens
and said: 'Strike. if you dare !" Instantly
he fell dead. He cursed God and died."

A CENTURY AGO.

Provisional Articles Of Peace Nth Great
Britain Signed One Hundred Years Ago
To-day.
One hundred years ago to-day, Nov. 80
1882, provisional articles of peace were
signed at Paris between the American and
British commissioners. The British com
missioner was Mr.. Oswald and the Ameri-
can commissioners were Benjamin Frank
lin, John Adams, Henry Laurens and John
Jay. Thomas Jefferson was appointed one
OF the commissioners and waited for some
weeks in Baltimore for ship to sail, but
on learning of the preliminary treaty he
remained at home and threw up his com.
mission. Regarding the action taken ole
John Adams wrote to Secretary Living

The dispatches of the American com
