I.otAng hin Reputation.

Years ago, III the early days of the Com
stock excitement, Pat Holland, now post
master and coroner n little town in Co.
chlsc county, Arizona, was the most re-
spected man in the State. He had the
reputation of beng dead shot with Il pis-
tol. Or course, this accomplishment made
him feared by everybody, and there was
no man IN Virginia 81 bold as to cross him
Ill public. Pat acquired his reputation by
shooting on the stage, and could knock an
apple or his sons head with an accuracy
and carelessncss which combined to i'm
press the public far more thu II tho manner
In which the palnstaking William Tell
performed the feat with an arrow. Finally
Pat secured young lady who would allow
an apple to be shot Oft her flaxcn roll, and
when Pat executed tho feat he would
throw his keen eye at the girl, and then
poll his orbs up into the gallery, and with
out looking at his mark, send bullet
through tho fruit. This was put down on
the bills ae "Pat Hollands psychological
feat of shooting from memory" and drew
crowded houses. One night he advertised
to shoot apples from twelve young ladies'
heads IN succession, and only take ono
look at the crowd, PIper's opera house
was packed with men at 81 a head, and
When the curtain rose, twelve immaculate
ballet dancers were in line along the wings.
each with an apple on her head. Pat
stepped to the footlIghts and bowed amid
tremendous applause. He had q six-shoot-
er in each hand, and the stage manager
announced that he would shoot the last
six apples with his left hand. Casting his
eye along the line, he took long breath, q
| steady position, and then faced the audi
ence. Lifting his aevolver, no began to
shoot IN rapid succession, and the apples
began to fly out of sight amid the breath.
less silence of the audience. The curious
part OF tho performance, however, lay in
the fact that by tho time Pat cad fired six
shots all the apples had disappeared. yet
nc kept right on banging away with his
left hand, amid roars Of laughter and de-
rlslon. TO cap the climax, two apples got
tangled together and remained dangling
from the edge Of a scene In plain sight of
the audience. The trick was AZ once ap-
parent. Each apple had fine thread
attached, and at the shot was jerkcd quick
ly out of sight. The supes behind the
scenes, who pulled the strings, got con-
fused at Pats rapid firing, and half the
apples disappeared before the time. Two
were snatched off simultaneously, and the
strings overlapping IN the air brought the
apples together, where they hung to the
edge of the scene, tho strings being on
each side. This ended Hollands career as
public soloist on the pistol, and tho pub
lie gradually came TO look upon him as an
ordinary mortal. Soon after that he got
into a street row in Pioche and fred twelve
shots in densely populated portion Of the
city without killing man. But for at.

sentimental songs of the present, such as
'Only a Pansy Blossom" "When the
Clouds Roll By" and dozens other. These
are all termed popular, and deserve to be
so. But, to my idea; there arc more pretty
songs hidden away that seldom come 10

where some charming, modest little lady
sits down. at piano and Hgently touchlng

used to slt On the floor under it at her feet
and work the pedals with both hands
while she played and sang that song. The
quaint, old-style words were better suited
to song written ages ago than to one of
as recent origin as 1t is, Speaking of

His "Old Folks at Homo" was the best

OLD TIMES

There's beautiful song OH the slumbrous air
That trlls through the valley Of dreams;
II comes from cline where the roses were,
And tuneful heart, aud bright brown hair
That waves ip the morning beams.
Soft eyes Of azure, and eyes Of brown,
And snow-white foreheads are there,
A gimmering cross and gllttering crown,
thorny bed and couch Of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets Of prayer.
A rosy leaf and dlmp.ed hand,
A ring and plighted vow;
Three golden rings on q broken hand, ,
tiny track on the snow white sand,
a tear and sinless brow. +
Thore'aa ttncture ofigrlef In tho beautiful song
That sobs on the summer air,
And loneliness felt III tho festive throng
Sinks down In tho soul as it tremblcs along
From cl..ac where the roses arc.
We heard 1t FIRST at the dawn OF day, (
And 1t minges with matln chimes;
But years have dlstanced tho beautiful lay,
And Its melody noweth 80 swiftly away,
And we call 1t now Old Times"

An unknown man was run over and in
stantly killed on the st. Paul, Minneapolis
d Manitoba railway between the depot and
Cedar lake last evening. Only meagel
facts could be learned of the casualty. II
seems the unfortunate man was a laborer
and was returning home from his work
walking up the railway tracks. An in
coming freight train caused him to Jump
from one track to the other just in time to
be struck by the locomotive of the passen-
ger train, which was driving in the oppo.
site direction. The man was knocked with
fearful violence against the freight and
when picked up the body was lifeless and
badly mangled and crushed. The remains
were brought to the city and taken to
Warmers undertaking rooms on Washing
ton avenue. No one recognized the body,
and nothing was found leading to identif-
cation. In the pockets were a time card,
street car tickets and a pencil, but no let
ter or book. The coroner is in the east,
and the deputy is at Lake Minnetonka.
The deceased was middle aged, had red
hair and red mustache, and was appar-
emily foreigner.
LATER-Since the above was written the
GLOBE reporter he learned the man name
was John Berger, and that he leaves a wife
and several little children at his late home
on Twentieth avenue south, near Second
street. He was in the employ of the Street
Railway company upon construction and
paving.
