Besides increasing knowledge, it has a

now will probably neglect greater ones

The country schools are far inferior
to the town or city schools, but this is
far more than counterbalanced by the
fact that the country boy is trained to
work from the time he can pick up corn
cobs to run the kitchen stove, until he
goes out to his own home. The chaps
who had plenty of money at college and
the city-bred fellows have not been as
rule heard from much since, while the
country boys who wore plain clothes
and kept close to their books in the old
colleges are now leading the thought

death and destruction on his snalkeship's
head should he dare trespass on his
grounds. The discovery Of the monster
a few days since just below the city in
spired many Of his pupils with fear Of

A PLUCKY WIDOW.

How She Saved a Stage Coach Full OF Men.
Soon after the close Of the civil war,
and when the west was a good deal wilder
than it is now, several of US took the
stage one day from Austin to Eureka,
New. As matter Of fact, there were
five men and one woman, a dumpy little
body with rosy face and blue eyes, who's
name was DObbg. She was a widow,
who lived in Eureka with a brother. and
was returning home after visit.
The stage route was clear Of road
agents for along time, but as a matter
/ Of ceremony each man carried d revolver
In holster belted around him, and there
may have been two bowie knives in the
crowd. We got away from Austin in
good shape and in an hour we were all
pretty well acquainted. Nothing Of par
ticular interest happened during the day
or early evening, but about O'Clock at
night, while most OF us were half asleep,
the stage came to a sudden halt, and a
clear, sharp voice rang out:
AZ iyOu move a foot III sent a bullet
through your head Inside the stage
there No nonsense, now Hand those
pistols out, butt foremost"
He threw the door open and covered
every with the muzzle Of his revolt
yer. Stage passengers have been called
towards for permitting themselves to be
SHIELD up" by one man. The time be-
tween the stOppage and the opening Of
the door was SO brief that none Of us
could have pulled a pistol After that to
have made a motion would have been to
invite q shot. Any one Of US would have
been a fool to resist
"Step down here 70 commanded the
agent, and one by one we stepped"
As each man descended he pulled his
pistol aud laid it on the ground and then
took his place IN line.
oAh a woman here p continued the
agent, as Mrs. Dobbs started TO come
down. ssYou may remain in the coach.
I don't rob women" She settled back
and he turned to Us, a pistol in each
hand, and briskly remarked: ''NOw, then,
time IA money. Each one Of You gents
shell ont and place the Doodle on the
ground. The man who attempts to swim
die me viii get a dose Of lead.
We began to shell. I stood nearest
the coach, at the head Of the line, and
I placed watch an wallet on the ground
AS I Strengthened up saw little Mrs.
Dobbs hitching about in the coach In
a few seconds the barrel Of a revolver
rested against the side OF the open door.
The agent had his left side to the coach,
and vas about twelve feet away. If the
woman missed him she would certainly
hit one Of the men in line. She must
have known this, and doubted if she
would take the chances.
"Coma, don't be slow about it, called
the agent. cat this rate you won't get
into Eureka for a week. I want"
