"TruthfuI Jeems.r

lTuJuIuI JccluS.
There were three or four old cod gers
seated around stove i'm the back
room of an Austin saloon toasting
their shlns aud spinning yarns. An
old stage driver named Smooth, with
bald-head and long beard, which
probably owed its peculiar color to his
habit of chewing tobacco for the last
forty years spoke up and said: "The
best-hearted man l ever knew in my
life was Bob Hinkley, who used to bo
sheriff up i'm Nebraska in tho early
days. He was the whitest man ever
saw. He was the easiest man on pris-
oners that ever lived. When prison
er's time was up he always refused to
go; he had such 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
tenant refuses to get out of house,
in order to get those prisoners out of
jail. Bob Hinkley used to feed the
prisoners SO well, and treated them SO
gentlemanly, that men would just
shoot somebody for no other purpose
than to get in that jail. was in there
myself for week or so, waiting to be
vindicated on the charge of stealing
hog. Well, one day-it was awful
warm-Sheriff Hinkley sent man
who was in for murder, across the
street to saloon to bring over tray
full of drinks for the prisoners. We
waited for a good while, and one of us
followed out from the jail window for
the murderer to bring over them drinks
quick, as we were suffering for them.
D,,f ha IL 1y,ft l. IL
When Bob Hinkley came in we said to
him: Mr.. Sheriff, that murderer amt
got back with them drinks 1t was
limited around among us that the mur-
derer had lit out, but old Bob wouldn't
listen to it. He burst into tears, and
said: Il 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-
terfeiters 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 as we used to
call him, said. The murderer never
ran away. He had been kidnapped by
vigilance committee and was hanging
to tree. so we never got those drinks.
We all came back to Jail, feeling very
blue. After that we prisoners quit
strolling about town and going out
hunting, but Bob Hinkley made it so
comfortable for us that we didn't care
to stroll. He had a saloon, a reading
room. shooting gallery and billiard
table fixed up for us in jail, for fear he
might lose some of us. 1t amt often
you find a Sheriff taking such good
care of the prisoners
The speaker, having finished, got up
and strolled out. One of the other
old codgors spoke up, and motioning
to the retreatlng form of the last speak
er, said
"He amt at himself now, but when
he was 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
ter after a while, people will call him

The Art of Type Writing.

The typewriter is generally sup
posed to be a machine of recent inven-
tion, but it really dates as far back as
1714. One Henry Mill obtained in that
year in England q patent for a device
that would write In printed charac-
ters, one ut a time and one after the
other" There is no description of
his device to be had now, but it is no
doubt true that Mills invention was
the parent of the present type. writer.
The idea seems to have lain dormant
for over one hundred ye2rs, when it
was taken up again by vHfous invent
ors, who sought at sundry times to
embody it in machine that would
work satisfactorily, but apparently
without success until 1867, when
firm in Milwaukee made typewriter
that was actually used.
To such perfection has the machine
been brought that even the most de-
tailed and intricate statements, con-
tanning column after column of figures,
can be readily made with it, and in q
neat and business-like form that is inn
possible with the pen of the average
writer. It's use has opened field for
women who have to earn their living
that never existed before. They are
naturally expert and skillful in using
the fingers, and they readily learn to
use tho typewriter with great speed.
A number of schools have added it to
their regular course, and young men
who learn to use it find it far easier to
obtain situations. Charles Reade said:
Il advise parents to have their boys
and girls taught shorthand writing and
type writing. The shorthand writer
who can type his notes would be
safer from poverty than great Greek
scholar"
DR.. Brudenell Carter, the famous
eye surgeon of London, when here
visiting the Centennial, bought every
American invention that he thought
would be of use to him, and among
them typewriter. In treatise of
his on the eye and how to preserve it,
published not long since, he gives q
cut of typewriter, and advised all
persons who are "near sighted" to
use it.
The speed with which an expert
operator can rattle off words and sem
tences is wonderful to one who has
never tried to use the machine The
fingers play with a swift and cease
less motion over the keys, accompan-
led by the monOtOnOus "rat-tat" of
the machine, and sheet after sheet of
neatly-written manuscript is taken
from the roller, from two to three times
as fast as an average penman can pro-
duce it. Few people write with pen
faster than twenty or thirty words
minute; an expert will bring out of the
type writer fifty to eighty words In
minute. What, then, must be the
value of a clerk who is an expert at
short hand and type-writingP
