CONFESS THAT HE KNEW HIM.

A man whom he saw sitting on a chair in
ron of a grocery, his face hidden in his
hands, aroused his suspicious, and he asked
a number If they knew his name. They de-
clsred ~solemnly, to a man, that they did nor,
but he finally concluded to take the chances
aud approaching the apparently sleeping
man told him he arrested him as Lee Calt-
we'll. The fellow sprang up, cursed the Of
fcer roundly, and swore he would not submit
to arrest. Several of his chums, idle ~rufians
like himself, gathered about the officer, and
one of them remarked, III wouldn't go, Lee,
Ifs too hot to lie in all"
Harcock was obliged to draw his pistol
and warn Them repeatedly to stand back, and
finally got away with his man.
He is not the only officer who relates such
experiences. They are of daily occurrence
and in many cases the officers are
ovERPowERED BY NUMBERs
and obliged to give up their prey. There are
numbers of negroes OF the class that frequent
Bsrrell's Bedism who would. think they had
done something OF which they had good res
sou to be proud if they stabbed an officer Of
the law 10 the heart.
Among other cases 10 be tried before JUS

Dick Shelton, for threatening to kill Frank
Branch because the latter insisted upon pay

pie cannot much longer reside. When an
offense is committed it is almost an absolute
impossibility to discover the preparation, and
it is often hazardous to attempt his arrest
when found. A csss in point wss found at
Justice Fleming's court yesterday. Not very
long since, in a fight with Reese Woods, Lee
Caldwell had his arm nearly broken by q
blow with a brick. Saturday night Woods
was lying asleep on a bench in front Of

well, who found him there, picked up a brick

Holmes On Best Bed. Rooms.

"Perhaps you remember" said d
GENIAL friend concerning Oliver Wendell
Holmes, chow we'll the doctor holds
his own, though naturally of a delicate
organization. Well, he attributes his
healthy condition to the fact Of good
exercise early in the day. You know
he married DR.. Jackson's daughter,
and Starow, also of a delicate constitu-
ton, married another daughter. Well,
DR.. Jackson's advice was: If yOuhave
the necessary physique to stand horse
back riding, do it; if not, take an early
walk each day The two sons-in-law
of DR.. Jackson have scrupulously fol
lowed the advice. When the town of
Watertown started the lyceum | was on
the committee to select lecturers. On
one occasion l went to DR.. Holmes

there are a great many places where
you will be welcome to stay over night.

An Incredible Statement.

A Houston paper, referring to tho
death of a lady, says she was overtaKen
by fatal attack that ended in death.
That a fatal attack should ever end in
death seems so wildly improbable that
the matter requires investigation. If,
however, it should be shown that tho
fatal attack really did end in death,
then we are prepared to believe an al
most incredible statement in San An
tonic paper, that there were poor. starv-
ing and INDECENT paupers in that city
who needed food. 1t startles even the
most careless to read that, in this age
and country, there are not onl pauperS,
but that these pauperS are poor. Not
only that, but we are called on to credit
the statement that the poor paupers are
in INDECENT circumstances. This is as
far as our credulity will permitus togo
The final assertion, that these poor, in
digent and starving paupets need food
transcendS the bounds OF the most ex-
traYagant Sensationalism. If journals
of standing continue to make such reck-
less assertions, sooner or later the read
ING public will lose confidence in them.

Curing a Balky Horse.

On Thursday man came into the
San office with the worst looking head
on him that ever was seen outside OF
OconOmowoc. His eyes were both
blackened, there was a cut across the
nose, one ear was stuck on with court
plaster, one arm was in a sling, and he
used pair of crutches. He hobbled il
the door of the blue room, and asked il
the editor was in, and on being told that
the great prevaricator stood before him,
he spit on his hands, grabbed a crutch
as one would a club, looked wild, and
accepted an invitation to set down on
4ha-aafa He-sat down Reluctantly as
though it hurt, and after laying his
crutcheS on the floor, and feeling of his
ear to see if it was on yet, he said:
"About three weeks ago you had an
item in your paper telling about a new
scheme for curing balky horses. Itwas
an electric battery to be placed in the
buggy, with wires running to the horse S
bit, and when a horse baked the in
structionS were to touch button with
the foot, when the electric current
would go to the horses mouth, take his

which the little woman had given him.
She sat quietly under the tree, talking
sometimes to her doll, and counting the
bvacinth bells over and over. She
tnew now she was lost, but was not
really frightened. She felt sure some
one would come by and by and find her.

empty express wagon; the driver tesi-
tated, then turned up to the brimnling

ers What was that under the tree? A
child living asleep on the grass?
"Looks like my little woman" said
the driver, jumping over the fence, and
coming up to the tree in three strides.
"Sure's you live it's herself, " he said,
as he picked the little sleeper up in his
strong arms. He stopped again for the
doll and thrust it head first into his
pocket; but the little hand clung to the
flowers even in sleep. The big horse
whisked away, but with the jolting OF
the wagon the blue eyes opened -,
"What ye s'pOSe mother'l Say?n

cheek against his rough coat. "Where

woman, "and l couldn't go back cause

When the terrified mother had assured
herself that her darling was safe and

A Curious Canoe.

The cnat builds his egg boat. Inc
water moth, another little creature
puts together real canoe 1t is very
curious thing, made of bits OF straw and
reeds all matted together. 1t is Just
4l,,.l,l, ,.s H. -.4a.,, ,;1.." that 1ivoS in
it. The insect breathes with gills just
like fish, and yet can not swim.
SO he fastens this straw and grass to-
gether, winding them all around with
his own silk. The body of the cater
pillar is soft and delicate, you know,
and might get hurt if it was left ex-
posed. This is the reason why he COW
ers it SO carefully, all but his head.
This funny sort of canoe is open at
both ends. 1t is so fixed that when the
grub is tired of sailing he can sink down
upon the sand. Reaching out OF the
upper end are his six little feet, with
which he drags his small boat after
him whenever he wants to get his din
ner or put up for the night. After sey-
eral DAYS he not only creeps out of this
strange house, but out of his skin, at
the same time taking on moth wings.
Many people call these queer creatures
"laddis worms" If you hunt for them
with your young eyes, you can find these
little nests of stone, and gravel, and
leaves, made by the grubs, though they
are very small. They seem to have
great taste in fixing them. You should
see the houses they make of fresh leaves,
curously put together. They hang
from their shoulders like so many wings.
They are even more like bud just
ready to open.
These pretty cases of leaves are glued
together, leaving an opening at It's top
Just large enough for the little creatures
tOput out their head and shoulders when
they want to look about for food; Others
of the same species cut pieces of reed
or wood into lengths or strips, and loln
them together as they 60 on with their
work. They use a certain kind OF CO,
ment, which is better able to stana
water than any ever made by man. Ana
they often finish up the whole by put
ting a broad piece, longer than all tne
rest, overhead, to shade the doorway
so that no one shall see them work.
Some of these funny grubs break OH
bits of the stems of rushes, which, you
know, grow in the water, and weave
them into sort of round ball. linen
they hang them together on the stem Oh
some other water plant, making llttle
cell in the middle to live in. Some use
tiny shells even, with snails and other
animals alive in them. They keep these
poor things just as if they were in prs
on, and drag them all about with them
