Two Silly, Pretty Girls.


A few days ago in Cincinn att young
gentleman with pretty girl on each arm
had his watch carried off ir crowd by a
pickpocket. The fellow snatched it out by
its delicate gold chain and made off with it
before the young gentleman had chance
to free his own hands. Before the watch
was fairly out of his pocket he realized the
situation and tried to disengage himself.
But the girls chung to his arms and cried.
Don't go, he'll kill you!'
LET me go!n commanded the robbed
man. ''You slan't," chorused the girls,
and absolutely hung such deadweights to
him that he could not get away to stop the
thief. They held fast to his wrists and
shrieked until two gentlemen in the crowd
took him by the collar, thinking that he
must be trying to rob the young ladies. He
may be pardoned for some very strong eX-
pressions of disgust at the behavior of the
girls. If they had the sense and courage
to pounce upon the thief as they did upon
their escort, they might have helped to save
The watch, instead of helping to lose it by
their Stiffness.

THE FIRST PULLMAN CAR,
G. NJ. Pullman Conceives the Idea
While Keeping n Miners Store.

Washington Correspondence Chicago News
The name of George NJ. Pullman of Chi
cago, on the Arlington hotel register the
other day, led to a discussion on the part of
several gentlemen who had dropped in at
that hosiery as to the amount of Mr.. Pull
mans wealth.
Il don't know how much MI. Pullman
is WORTH. said Public Printer Rounds. who
was one of the party, but do remember
the first rude drawing of his now celebrate
sleeping car, from which his fortune has
mainly been derived. 1t was back in go.
at the time of the Pixies peak excitement.
l had gathered together the outft for a
daily newspaper, and sent it to Denver in
charge of Ed Bliss, brilliant Chicago
newspaper writer, at that time
in my employ. William NJ Byers
and John l.. Daley of Denver had
just commenced the publication of the
Rocky Mountain News when they heard
that my caravan was on its way across the
plains with the intention of setting lid a
rival establishment. When about fifty miles
this side of Denver Bliss was met bv Byers
and Daley, who went out that distance to
see him and arrange if possible some sort
OF compromise, for it was not believed the
town could support two daily newspapers.
The result was that Bliss and |
were taken into partnership and a
new company was formed under the name
of the Rocky Mountain News Publish
ing company. The next spring l went out
to Denver to see the country and to obtain
little rest and recreation. l was also in
terested Ill some mining Speculations at
RuSselPS gulch, and shortly after NV az
rival in Colorado Bliss and l went up to
Central City to examine the mines. There
we found George NJ. Pullman. He had
opened an establishment for the sale of
miners supplies and was doing an excel
lent business. Bliss and 1 were well ac-
Quainted with Pullman, who invited us to
dine with him. When the meal was fin
lshed Pullman said:
Boys, L have an idea.'
bliss, who was great wag, made some
remark about it's being hard winter. and
suggested the proprlety of nursing it ten
derby, but Pullman, without noticing the
interruption, continued:
- Hold on until l show it to you., He
stepped into the next room, and when he
returned he held in his hand the pasteboard
cover OF ladyS bandboX.- The reverse
side was covered with a network of lines
parallel and interSecting each other. The
drawing was entirely unintelllgible to ms nm
til Pullman said:
Il have been figuring for several wears
upon some sort of a railway coach that will
enable person to travel in comfort by dav
and which can be converted into a bed to
sleep on at night. This is the plan as l
have hastily sketched it. When 1 return to
Chlcago next fall shall have a model made
and endeavor to get it patented.
we both agreed that it was feasible, but
none of us dreamed what revolution it
would create in American and European
travel. At that time, 1 have no doubt. Mr..
Pullman would have gladly parted with his
idea for S25, 900. 1t has put millions into
his pocket SINCE"

Lawyer on Fire.

A barrister on fire (actually. not met
aphoricaily) is sight not often wit
messed; nevertheless such a conflagra-
ton occurred in the court of the Master
of the Rolls few days ago. A learned
counsel was about to conclude the re-
marks which he was addressing to the
judge, when volumes of smoke were OBJ
served to issue from the ample folds of
his gown, and he had hardly Invested
himself of the garment when the tails of
his coat were also seen to be alight.
Fortunately no serious results followed,
and the incident may be said to have
ended as it began-in smoke. The Or
igin of the fire was said to have been a
box of matches which by some accident
became ignited in the pocket of the
coat. Such a strong incentive to short
ening the length of his remarks seldom
occurs IN the course of a barrister's
practice.-S. James Gazette.

Judge that he must have been of the

Virgil relates that once upon . time

he touched the other extreme, and be-
came, like many others since Croesus'
time, patron Of the arts. He reveled
in the American bohemian quarters in
Rome. He bought pictures by the
Wholesale, and even the divine affiatus
was touched by his generosity and his
liberality, and gave him the hand of
good-fellowship. He was blunt, out
spoken fellow, and did not pretend to
be much of critic, 30 every body was
willing to sell pictures to him. Virgil
had started in on canvas intended to
represent q confessional scene, and he
had it rounded off at the top for some
artistic effect or other. He changed his
idea, and painted some simple figure
kneeling at a shrine or something. and
he had this picture upon his easel when
the jovial millionaire called upon him.

Victorious Sparrows.

A crowd of loafers in Fall River,
Mass, attempted to amuse themselves
one day recently by throwing apples at
the nest of some English sparrows. The
trees were filled with hundreds of birds,
which stood the fun until it became mo-
notonous and then organized and made
a dash upon their tormentors. They
flew straight for the face. and it began
to look serious for the offenders. Some
of the latter ran to safe distance and
looked on, but the more adventurous
waged the battle. Two boys were
pecked at until their faces and hands
were covered with blood, and they
