Yourself within range of the trick-mulc.
\ young man seems to think that he is
somebody after all when he can drink
with the rest of them; and he mistakes
that sense of fullncss produced by beer
for true satisfaction and contcntment,
but he is rot quite a well contcntcd
when he arises next morhiug and the
sense of fullncSs has moved up into his
head. When young man comes out
of Il saloon with his hat thrust carclcSsly
back over his bangs. and Il cigar thaE
cost him money that he should have
expended in having button or so srwed
upon his coat, he thinks he is one of tho
boys; and so he is. he is one of those
boys who. when they are of middle ago
and ought to have families. have moth
ing but debts and Il shattered constitu-
ton. When they are going about with
their cuffs fraved out ut the edges and
looking rs p0sse as n last years
almanac they will review their past life
with regret. and the fact that they HAYS

not bring the faintcst passing flush of

What had a young man better do
about the drink question? He had bet

tie world stands. He had better talk
against it, vote against il, and cause his
example and in lucncc to be all against
it. He had b ttcr not be w:verinT but
settled. have his mind made up and be
ready to resist every temptation. and so
not get into the mire on that subject. n

question, Il few bouts with drinking
companions changes ones whole intiu

his intending it. 1t is better to be fixed
on solid foundations from the begin

reasons? Because it is an expensive
habit. 1t eats up time and clothes and
good books. 1t swallows farms and fac

ST. LOUIS, Mo, March 3.
The Pacific Express Office corner of
Fourth and ST. Charles streets, was yester-
day robbed of a sum that win not fall short
of 100000 by Prcntiss Tillcr, Il trusted
clerk, who proceeded in 4 singulariy bold
manner. Tilier came here three years
ago from Louisville, where he was in the
employ of the American Express Com
pany, and bore a good reputation. He
was highly recommended, and was en-
ployed by Joseph Temple. No bond was
required of him. His duties were simply
clerical, but he was one of 4 detail of five,
who took turn in doing office duty on
Sunday, receiving the packages brought
in by clerks from i. IN. to q p. IN. At
5 p. III. yesterday he told the day watch
man, James Cfanncy, who was the only
other person in the Office, that he in
tended to 90 out for lunch. This was in abb
solute defiance Of the rules of the office.
Not believing that Tiilcr intcndctito violate
rule SO we'd established as that against
leaving the office during business hours,
the Waterman busted himself in the back
room where freight is received.
This was the opportunity that Tiller was
awaiting. He gathered all the packages
which he had received, concealed them
about his person, locked the safe, and
considerably leaving behind him some
$4,000 in bullion, quietly unlocked the
front door and passed out into the world

in the front office, and going forward

When asked how he came there, he
said that he had found the door open
and wanted to make i business inquiry
The alarmed Natchman put the stranger
out, but saw no one in the vicinity. The
absence Of Tillcr raised his suspicion,
ard, after waiting 4 few minutes,
he notified Superintendent Fuller and
Chief Clcrh Porter by telephone of the
state of affairs. They came in hot
haste, arriving at four o'clock. Tillcr's
safe WIS locked. Fearing the worst, lock-
smiths were sent for 10 break the safe.

Randc snapped his finger at his keeper
and raised his hand, giving sign for Il
request to go to the closet. Madden
nodded assent and resumed his converse

turned toward Randc. Tie keeper also
turned his back to Randc to give an or

to the floor. Hearing the alarm, Assist
ant Deputy Warden Garvin and Keeper
Ed Mcdonald, brother of the attacked
Deputy, rushed in. The convict Roab
was on top of Randc, and had the life
nearly chokcd out of him when Garvin
ordered him off. Roab begged to be al
lowed to choke him to death. Randc,
rising, staggered toward the door, made
u quick lunge, grabbing Il knife from
the table, turned and desperately at

cane over Randc'S head, cutting him ter
ribly.

that McDonuld's skull is terribly crushed.
Pieces of the skull were removed, leaving
the brain exposed two inches long and
one wide.
