"rruthful Jeems.''


There were three or four old codgen
seated around n stove in the back
room of an Austin saloon toastine
their Sims and spinning yarns. An
old stage driver named Smooth, with
a bald-head and Il long beard. which
probably owod its peculiar color to his
habit of chewing tobacco for the last
forty years spoke up and said: 1.-The
b~est-hearted ma | ever knew in my
life was Bob Hinkley, who used to be
sheriff up in Nebraska in the early
days. He was the whitest mar I over
saw. He was the easiest ma on pris-
oners that ever lived. When u prison.
er time was mp he always refused to
go; he had such a nice time in Jail.
BY thunder. IN some cases the county
attorney had to get out writs for tres.
pass, just as you do in cases where 8
tenant refuses to get out Of a house,
in order to get those prisoners out OF
jail. Bob Hinkley used to feed the
prisoners so we'll, and treated them so
gentlemanly, that men would just
shoot somebody for no other purpose
than to get in that Jail. j was in there
myself tor a week or so, waiting to be
vindicaled on the charge of stealing a
hog. Well, IL daN-it was awful
warm-Shariff Hinkley sent 4 man
who was in for murder, across the
street to a saloon to bring over u tray
full of drinks for the prisoners. We
followed out from the Jail window for
the murderer to bring overthem drinks
quick, rs we were suffering for them.
Eut he didn't come back worth a cent.
When Bob Hinklcy came in wc said to
him: Mr.. Sheriff, that murderer amt
got back with them drinks 1t was
limited around among Ii that The MUIR
derer had lit out, but old Bob wouldn't
+, stem to it. He burst into tears, and
said: L know that poor boy hasn't
left me. Somebody must have kid
mapped him. Come BOYS, let's hunt
him up. And all the jail-birds, coun-
terfeitors and the like. turned out and
hunted that whole town over"
did they find the missing muir
derer?"
Eyes, we found him. 1t was Just as
Sheriff Hinkley or Bob rs we used to
call him. said. The murderer never
ran away. He had been kidnapped by
u vigilance comm ttee and was hanging
to a tree, so we never got those drinks.
We all came back to Jail, feeling very
blue. After that we prisoners quit
strolllng about town and going out
hunt ny. but Bob Huxley made it SC
comfortable for us that we didn't care
to stroll. He had a saloon, q reading
room, a shooting gallery and billiard
table fixed up for us in Jail, for fear he
might lose some of us. 1t amt often
you find q Sheriff taking such good
care of the prisoners"
The speaker, having finished, got up
and ~stroiled out. One of the other
old dodgers spoke up, and motioning
to the retreatlng form of the last speak,
err. said:
HE amt at himself now, but when
he was a younger man, before he lost
his memory and his imagination. he
could lie some | Tell you. He is losing
his grip, powerful. If he don't do bet

Too Much Power for ANY One Man


The mad rush for office which comes
with every change of Administration
is overuowering. The President and
heads of departments have been driv-
en- TO seek safety from tho crowd by
turning them over to their Representa-
tives in Congress as a kind of advisory
breakwater between themselves and
the people. Tie patronage of the Ex-
ecutlve is too large for disposition at
the hands of any single human being.
The true remedy for this evil, growing
out OF the growth of the country is in
an enlargement of the scope of Civil
Service Reform, so hat Presidents,
Cabinets and Congressman are all re-
lieved of everlasting self-imposed and
misused responsibilities. PHILADELPHIA

Republican Testimony.

Directly and indirectly, this coun-
try spends every year in the liquor
traffic a sum exceeding half the ma
tional debt. The cost of that traffic
to the country, direct and indirect, is
greater than the profits Of all its cap
ital not invested In real estate. 1t
costs every year more than our whole
civil service, our army, our navy, our
Congress, including the RIVER and
Harbor and the Pension bills, our
wastetul governments and all nation
al, state, county and local debts, be-
sides all the schools in the country.
In fact this nation pays more for Ii
quor than for every function of every
kind of government. How is a ques-
ton of that size to be put aside with a
sneer.-New York Tribune.
