REVOLT.

Barbarous Bill had stepped out to
shoot few bears and other wild ami
mails, and the prisoners were alone
with the band.
"What in thunder is the reason
asked old man Mulligan, "that you
fellows obey every order of that young
cub Are you attached to him ?"
'No," replied one of the gang, shud
deringly, "we fear and hate him, but
we must obey him."
"Why 2"
The men exchanged wondering
chances.
-why-because it's the regu-
lar thing. We never read dime novel
in which the boy chief was not held in
awe and unquestionably obeyed."
"Well, if l were one of your band
I'd give him a switching he'd never
forget and then clear him out"
''It's great scheme !" shouted the
outlaws, in wild enthusiasm at the
novel idea. "We'll try it,"
Barbarous Bill returning at. that
moment, one of his gang took him
over his knee and administered corpO-
raj punishment until the youth howl
ed for mercy.
1t only remains to be said that the
next day the Boy Bandit returned to
New York with Mr.. Mulligan, and is
now acting as errand bay in shoe
store. l hate to make my story end
in this tame way, bnt l cannot tell a

Selling Tea.

Lew Campbell tells the following on
Joe Cobb, the well-knOwn tea "drum-
mer" from Baltimore.
The night of the earthquake in
Charleston Joe was showing a mer-
chant his samples of tea. The mer-
chant found lot he said he could use
if he could buy them right
''What do yOu ask for this imperial ~
~ will sell the line for AZ CENTS" re-
piled Cobb.
"You are too high on it,"
"Why, Mr.. Jones, it cost my house
As cents"
"Now, Cobb, you know better than
that"
"Mr. Jones, hope this building will
fall on my head if it didn't"
Just then the first shock Was felt.
Cobb ran out into the street, leaving
his samples to take care of themselves
and the poor boy did not sleep all
that night. The next day Cobb hunt
ed up Mr.. Jones and said
"See here, Mr.. Jones, 1 don't want
you to think | told what wasn't so
about the cost of that tea. My house
must have marked it up on me, as I'll
swear that the building tried hard to
fall on me when l asked it to if the tea
didn't cost that money. l think I'll
change my business"
Cobb hasn't fully recovered from the
scare yet, and every time building
jars he runs into the street and says
"hold on there-I am not selling tea"

To the Man Who Would Marry.
Select the girl.

Select the girl.
Agree with the girls father i'm poll
tics and mother in religion.
If you have a rival keep an eye on
him if a widOwer keep two eyes on
him.
Don't swear to the girl that you have
no bad habits. 1t will be enough for
you to say that you never heard your
self snore in your sleep.
Don't put too much sweet stuff on
paper. If you do you will hear it read
In after years, when your wife has
some special purpose in intiicting upon
you the severest punishment known to
a married man.
Go home at a reasonable hour in the
evening. Don't wait until the girl has
to throw her whole soul into yawn
that she can't cover with both hands.
If you sit down on some mOlasses
candy that little Willie has left on the
chair, while wearing your new trousers
for the first time, smile sweetly and re-
mark that you don't mind sitting on
mOlasses candy at all and that "bOys
will he boys" Reserve your true
feelings for future reference.
If on the occasion of your first call
the girl upon whom you have placed
your young affection looks like an ice
berg and acts like cold wave, take
your leave early and stay away.
In cold weather, finish saying good
night in the house. Don't wait until
you get to the front gate and thus lay
the foundation for future asthma, bron-
chitis, neuralgia and chronic catarrh to
help you worry the girl to death after
she has married you.

Billiards. in the West.

A fierce gale and binding snow
storm prevailed in the Northwest last
week. 1t was the worst storm in years
in Dakota. A passenger train on the
Illinois Central railroad was stuck in a
drift. The cuts on the same road be-
tween Fort Dodge and Sioux City, Ia,
were packed full of snow. At Hinton
station freight train was buried in a
cut and a passenger train crashed into
it. All the freight cars were burned
but the passengers escaped without Sc
riOus injury. Snow began falling at
ST. Paul early in the morning and con-
tinued all day. After midnight that
night a blizzard set in and the next
morning people found the streets and
sidewalks badly blOckaded so that
travel was next to impossible. The
blizzard began in the western part of
the state and swept east and south
through Wisconsin. No such storm
had occurred there so early in the sea-
son for years. The thermometer at
Denver, Col, stood at 4 below zero,
and in different parts of the state
dropped to 20 below. The Colorado
railroads are open, but in west Kansas
and Nebraska, where the snowfall
was much heavier, blockades are re-
ported. About one foot of snow fell at
Omaha and the wind blew "blizzard'
all day. Travel is entirely suspended.

REVENGE AT LAST.

One year has passed. The SHOWS of
another winter have fallen and passed
away the patent medicine men have
all issued new editions of their alma
macs; the veteran actress has COM
pleted her eleventh annual farewell
tour.
In the cavern in the heart of the
Yosemite which they make their rem
devious are seated BarbarOus Bill, the
Boy Bandit, and his lawless gang-all
stalwart, black bearded, professional
ruffians from Ruffianville, but mere
puppets in the hands of their boy
chief.
"Away with you," shouts the youth,
suddenly springing to his feet. GA
party of travellers will cross yOnder
pass in an hour. Go, capture them
and bring them to me. There will be
a gyurl among them," and the outlaws
voice grew tremulOus. "FOr your
lives do not let her escape YOU"
One of the band, man of Herculean
build, attempted to make some feeble
objection, but an instant later a blow
from the young chief stretched him
senseless upon the floor of the cave.
In an hour three captives were
brought in-an old man, his wife and
their daughter, whom the reader has
already met.
"Ahal Matilda Mulligan," Kissed
the boy with demoniac smile, "yOu
are in me power at last"

An Itching Juryman.
Chicago Nelcs.


The officials in court tell many
stories of the queer things that Judge
Gary has said in his way.
On one occasion, it is said, a juror
asked to be let go on certain grounds
which he said he did not wish to state
publicly.
estate your grounds in open court"
said the judge. 81 can't whisper with
YOU on the bench"
"Well, your honor, it is very Sc
riOus matter, but Ill have to ask you
to allow me to state my reasons in pri-
vate," urged the applicant.
But the judge was Obdurate. and so
the juror had to make clean breast of
it.
"Well, then, your honor, I've got the
itch,n he said.
Judge Gary paused a moment, and
then leaning over to Clerk Doyle, ex-
claimed: "Well, guess you had bet
ter scratch him off"

THE BOY BANDIT.

PART |.
THE RESOLVE.


"Gimme bite o. your jujube pastel"
The speaker was boy of some
twelve summers and an equal number
of winters, to say nothing of large
number of springs and several hun
dred falls. The most casual observer
would have been willing to make a
deposition before the nearest magis-
trate that beneath a somewhat COM
monplace and phenOmenally dirty ex-
terror (fOr our hero had naughty
contempt for cOnventiOnalities) this
boy concealed an indOmitable will and
a collarless shirt.
The person whom he addressed was
a girl of about his own age. She was
peerlessly beautiful, and wore store
clothes and had an aristOcratic air.
Every nerve stretched to its utmost
tension he awaited her answer. With
quick movement she placed the COW
eted confection out of his reach, utter
ing as she did so, these words:
"Naw | won't neither"
The youth staggered as if he had
been hit with a club. Had he not
been so passionately attached to his
native land, as to carry a large sample
of it on his face, his companion would
have seen that he was CHASTITY pale.
The iron had entered his soul.
$50 be it," he Missed in strange,
unnatural voice. "rhis is the bitter
est blow of all. Tonight l leave New
York forever. Henceforth William
Boggs is dead. But in his place will
spring to life one of whom men will
speak with bated breath and bullying
eyes; one whose feared and hated
name will be"
"What ? what 2" walled the girl.
"Barbarous Bill, the Boy Bandit,
the Holy Terror of the Yosemite" AS
he uttered these words the jujube
paste fell from his companions nerve
less fingers, and with low cry she
sank fainting to the ground.
The boy seized the confectiOn and
eagerly devoured it. Then as he
strobe rapidly away he muttered
hoarsely:

end is not yet come ~

Anecdote of Wellington.
Landau ranes

This story is one which Sir Francis
learnt from his father, to whom Wei
lington told it himself in his own char
acteristlc language, when the elder
Coyle was dining at Apsley house
"After the battle of Talavera l want
ed the Spanish force to make move
ment, and called upon Cuesta to take
the necessary steps, but he demurred.
He said, by way of answer, For the
honor of the Spanish crown l cannot

low his advice Now | wanted the

Let Parties Profit by 1t.
Albany Times.


With the $50 bills flying around,
and men who suffer for the barest
comforts, if not indeed the necessities
of life, tempted ut every step by the
tender of them, is it not notable
thing that Henry Georges supporters
cast 90 900 votes What will become
of the "machine" campaigns of year
or two hence, with such startling
fact before themP How long will the
power of money be the main reliance
in an election canvass if this thing
grows? Aud it will grow. 1t has
passed its worst stage. With every
day and year, as the intelligence of
men increases, the determination of
the laboring man to use his political
power for the betterment of his con-
ditiOn will increase. Let not the les
son go unheeded. Parties will do well
to profit by it.

''The Ideal New-England Newspaper"
Springfield Republican
FOR 1887.

FOR 1887.
The Republican aims to be a newspaper in the
broadcast and highest sense. 1t prints all the le-
gitimate news of the day without fear favor I'M
embarrassed by personal or partisan obligations,
and IN compact well arranged form. Its facilities
for gathering and publishing the news are unsur-
passed outside of the largest Cities and are con-
Stantly improving.
The Republican is dstnctively a New England
newspaper, although its reputation is national.
Its local field embraces not only Springfield but all
of Western Massachusetts, Northern Connecticut
and Southern Vermont, and the news of this sec
ton 1T presents with great care and fulness. In
other journal can the jewellers in this region find
so complete daily record of home affairs.
In its political attitude the Republican main
tains thorough independence, giving fair hear
ing to all reasonable men and parties in its col
umns but asserting its own convictions public
issues with vigor and clearness. 1t is opposed to
unjust monopoly in every FORM to oppressive and
unnecessary taxation to any misuse of public
trusts. 1t favOrs tariff reform in the interest
pecally of the poor man, civil service reform in
and the acceptance of the commercial worlds
money standard, and the promotion of American
interests by natural and sound methods.
The Republican is earnest advocate of tenn
perance, of social simplicity and purity, and of all
the good causes that help to make life better.
1t is not merely a journal of news, but under
takes to instruct and entertain its readers by the
publication of rich variety of literary and mis-
cellaneous matter, embracing home and foreign
correspondence, stories, poetry, book reviews and
notices, religious selections and discussions spec
ial articles and compilations for the farmer and the
IL.
and society notes, etc.
A new and valuable feature of the Republican is
it's
