Consolation for the Red-Headed.

Ex-President Hayes once told me that
he noticed that 1.-The man who had sand
in their hair and beard were the most
energetic and pushing in life. was
told by an experienced detective the
other day that bunco steerers and that
kind of gamblers known as ''sure-thing
men," never attempt to play any of
their tricks on red-headed men. l ask
Ell whv, and he said: "As a rule red
headed people are very quick and eho-
leric by nature. Their tempers are SO
peppery that they fly up like flash of
powder the instant they feel aggrieved
or wronged. They are so quick to act
that tine moment they feel that they
have been swindled they either fight
those who have duped them or call in
the police on them. To be successful, bum
co men and the others | have mention
ed must avoid publicity and nOtoriety
as much as possible Tney do not want
attention called either 10 them or their
methods. Knowing from experiences
the dangerous temper of the boys with
auburn hair, they avoid all unfair deal
ings with them as far as possible
Whenever You hear of "A red-headed
man being approached by any fellow
with a swindliug scheme. you may de-
pend on the trickster being new at his
business" There is some compensa-
ton in carrotty hair and beard after all.

The Links of Chance.

Holding apOise in air
My twice-dlpped pen-for some tense thread
OF thought
Had snapped--mine ears were half aware
OF passing wheels; eyes saw, but mine saw
not,
My suu-shot linden. Suddenly, as stare,
Two shifting visions grow and fade unsought;
Noon blaze; the broken shade
OF ruins strown. Two Tartar lovers sit:
She gazing on the ground, face turned,
afraid;
And he, at her. Silence is all his wit
She stoops, picks up'a pebble of green Jade
To toss; they watch its flight, uuheeding it.
Ages have rolled away;
And round the stone, by chance, IL chance
there be,
Sparse soil has caught; seed, wind-lodged
one day,
Grown grass; shrubs sprung; at last a tufted
tree:
Lo! over its snake root yon conquering
Bey
Trips backward, hghting-and half Asia
free!

She Was an Expert.

One of the conductors on the overland
road tells of a queer customer that he
had for a passenger the other day. The
age, who had been in the West long
enough to get pretty good idea of the
country, and he was eastward bound
not for the purpose of settling down, but
to secure a wife, he having picked one
out by letter, as he said when speaking
on the subject.
You see." he told the conductor in
one of their confidential conversations,
1.-THE West is no place for an elOping
woman. / had one of that kind. In
fact that was the reason l happened to
go West. I'd been farming in Con-
necticut for a good many years, ever
since l was boy, and the wife of
friend of mine and 1 got to smiling on
each other. and first thing l knew she
was suggesting that we skip for the
West She had some money of her
own and was a smart woman, and as l
had always hankered after a little
Western adventure | concluded to join
in. Now, stranger, to tell you the
truth, I've had more adventure than l
counted on. In the first place, the wo-
mans husband got on our trail and
chung TO it for all of one winter. and in
the next place lost the woman.
''When we got out here wanted to
get farm somewhere and settle down.
but she wouldn't do it. We went 10
Idaho prospecting. and before we had
been there month the madam's head
began to swell. Women are very scarce
up there and it didn't take my woman
long to find it out. While / was only
plain sort of farmer man, she pretty
soon discovered that there were judges,
colonies, bonanza kings. silver-mine
owners, and big ranchers who were
liable to want wives, and, by crackey,
mister, she had lit out with a colonel
before | knew it. They got married,
too. Well. l didn't have much busi
ness on hand, and l thought I'd just
chase them. So | followed. When L
caught them, in Helena, what do you
suppose she said to me? She said, said
she:
You are good enough to elope with
from Connecticut, but you are small
potatoes and few in a hill out here.
Pm only taking advantage of the oppor-
tunities which a new and growing
country offers
After that | left her alone. You
see, she was just cute enough to see
that, being on the ground, she could
marry in great shape if she wanted to,
and so she threw me overheard. Shes
rich now, and will make big splurge
in the East some day. But what l
wanted to say to you is this: Don't
bring any eloping women out here. If
they elope once, they'll do it again. and
there's altogether too big premium on
them in this section. The young woman
am going back after now is Al years
old, has never been married. and has
taught a Sunday-school class thirty
years."-Chegeans Letter.

Odd Grounds for a Communication.

One day one of Resides coaches
was stopped near Philadelphia by three
armed men, who ordered the nine pas
sengers to alight and stand in line
One of the robbers then mounted guard,
while the other two made the terrified
passengers deliver up their money and
watches and then ritled the mail bags
They were soon afterward arrested,
tried, convicted, and one was sentenced
to Imprisonment in the penitentiary,
while the other two were condemned to
be hanged. Fortunately for one of the
culprits, named Wilson, he had some
years previously. at horse-race near
Nashville, Tenn, privately advised Gen.
Jackson to withdraw his bets on
horse which he was backing. as the
jockey had been ordered to lose the
race. The general was very thankful
for this information, which enabled him
to escape heavy loss, and he promised
his informant that he would Defriend
him whenever an opportunity should Of
fer. When reminded of this promise,
after Wilson had been sentenced to be
hanged, Jackson promptly commuted
the sentence to ten years imprisonment
in the penitentiary. - Ben: PerLey

Cheney Items.

The farmers hereabout have been
very busy for the last few weeks in
preparing the soil and sowing wheat.
The numbers of acres sown this year
are about the same as last, though we
may expect a much larger yield, as
most of it is put in in better shape.
That mammoth pumpkin of which
we made mention recently, was raised
on the farm of John Crandell, OF
Grayling township. 1t measured 2
feet, 10 inches in length and weighed
As pounds.
We think s. HUT Of Pere Cheney,
has the honor of raising the finest
hubbard squash ever grown ON the
''sand-plains." It's n beauty, and
weighs la pounds.
The Fair mill. of Cheney, has been
purchased by DR.. Thay err, and is being
taken down and removed to his farm
in South Branch, where he is making
great improvements. Further particu-
lars later.
G. Culhane, of Beaver Lake, has
started a camp about two miles from
