The genuine "down east" or Canadian
visitor who arrives in San Francisco dur
ing the winter season greatly helps to in
crease the diversity in dress which one
notes in San Francisco. He often comes
equipped in fur lined raiment, and when
the clouds grow heavy and The wind be-
gins to come in puffs from the south he
looms up like survivor of an Arctic eX-
petition. His ponderous coat with its
fur collar enveloping his ears looks strange
beside the light summer overcoats or the
still thinner cutaway coats made light
and airy by white neckties and plug hats.
The newly arrived owner of the fur lined
overcoat, however, rarely sticks long to
his old love, and is soon found airing his
figure without any Overcoat at all or
stalking along with a gossamer garment
thrown back to display his light necktie
and other summary raiment.
The Visitor from the Orient, if he be Of
foppish turn. contributes more than his
share toward the contrasts in dress. He
is generally of "horsey" turn and de-
lights to stroll through the streets on his
way to livery stable remarkable in a
hunting suit, tight fitting cords" and
top boots and spurs An Oriental tourist
who struck the town not long since,
sailed out from the Palace hotel one chilly
afternoon in a pair of canary colored pan
falcons, patent leather shoes with striped
cloth tops, blue vest with polka dots and
claret colored velvet coat. The whole
rig was surmouDted by pith helmet Of
the kind worn in tropical countries. The
gamins of San Francisco are too much
accustomed to sharp contrasts in dress to
be easily excited, but this Shanghai fash
ion plate was too much for their equa-
nimity. By the time they had presented
their compliments in the shape of wheel
barrow full of cobble stones, the Shanghai
masher reached his hotel through dozen
back streets and was seen no more in q
velvet coat on cold winters day.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

COONEY.

The "Rio Colorado is a small river
which forms the southern extremity Of
the salty, sandy reach lying between what
was Kings ranch and the City of Browns
vile.
To the north a far reaching waste
daZzled the eyes with the whiteness of its
crystallized sands, while vast prairies of
mesquite grass, dotted at intervals with
clusters of stunted trees, skirted its
southern banks To the west the horizon
was cut by the black line of the Guada-
lupe mountains.
The sun was yet two hours high, and
the Brownsville road, after it had cut its
way through the northern bank of the
river, seemed to form a long winding
trail, which lost itself in the hazy white
ness of the desert.
The Colorado" was at its lowest stage
and fordable.
Five specks were approaching from the
north, five black moving spots in the vast
eXpanse.
They were five herders or Rio Grande
men web mounted and armed, riding at
| the fastest road pace to which their beasts
could be urged. AS they neared the river
four stopped, while one rode to the edge
of the bank. The latter scanned up and
down for few seconds and inspected the
tracks at the ford; appearing satisfied
with the outlook, he returned to his COM
paniOns.
Three Mexicans and two Americans
formed the company, but they were all
accoutered alike.
"Anything in sight?" asked one of the
Americans from the returning Mexican.
'No, captain" answered the Mexican,
81 saw no fresh tracks at the ford"
The Rangers must have struck for the
Laredo road said the captain, land we
will have time to cross the Rio Grande
No doubt Cooney gave us away to them
AS he expected us to run to the north, he
started the Rangers on the wrong trail"
The five men were cattle runners and
prairie pirates, running to and fro from
either side of the Rio Grande. They i'm
-ediately moved on. and were soon across

them, Duu searching for their hoDbie.
horses they saddled them at double quick.
Leading the two horses of the dead men
they struck through the prairie toward
the Rio Grande.
A faint streak of light was barely tinge-
ing the horizon when a troop Of Rangers
could be seen silently surrounding the
timber which contained the Wells. Each
rider was bending on his saddle, rifle in
hand, watching for those they were pur-
suing. However, daylight came clear and
bright, and the sun rose above the line Of
the timber, but the troopers detected no
movement, and no human being made his
appearance.
THAT scoundrel Of Cooney must have
fooled us, and he must have decamped
with our money and his confederaues,"
said Capt. Mclean to his lieutenant.
"Let us ride in and see," answered the
lieutenant.
"By no MEANS" said Capt. Mclean;
eve might be surprised and lose q few
men. Those fellows won't do to trihe
with; we will close on them regularly
with the whole company.
Capt. Mclean gave the orders and the
company moved on, gradually closing in
It's circle.
Mclean was riding forward, when his
horse gave sudden plunge, rearing almost
erect on his launches.
"Great GodI" cried the lieutenant,
captain, look under you! Look at those
corpsesW
BY this time the troop had united at the
Wells and all dismounting, the captain
turned over the bodies.
"Cooney was true after all" he said,
land, no doubt, they had an explanation
and fight"
"But who is this Y' he added, looking
at the other body.
The whole troop looked at the pallid
features of the dead outlaw, but they
looked in vain; his features were as I'M
known to them as his name.
The two bodies were thrown into a sink
in the prairie, and the mesquite over which
they had coursed so often, the terror Of
the frontier, now covers them out of sight
of foes or friends, if friends they ever
had.-Times Democrat.

''Tns residence OF the Hon. Oliver was

lowed by the entrance of the minions Of

Mrs. Mouser begged, cried, stormed
and implored. Mr.. Mouser was mute
and totally crushed, but the bold minions
of authority led him away to q dungeon,
where he languished for three days be-

had been caught, but the law required an

unquestionable social standing and per-
feet respectability.
The court room was crowded with his
friends and neighbors. His wife gazed at
him tearfully and lovingly, but Mr.. Mouser
was very much cast down. There was no
escape. He had to tell how distasteful
wood saving had proved to him, how he
feared the rdicule of wife and friends if
after all the boasting he gave it up. But
when he related his midnight elopement
with his green saving jack, even the
court joined in the broad smile that
ripened into a roar of laughter from the
less dignified listeners. The browning
humiliation came, however, when he left
the prison for the coach to be taken home.
There he saw the green abomination rest
ing at the drivers feet on the front of the
carriage. His wife has not stonped laugh
ing yet at his midnight adventure.

Meanest Man on Record.

The meanest man on record jumped
aboard q Woodward avenue car the other
afternoon. Every seat was occupied, and
what did that man do but look out of a
window and whisper something about a
dog fight. OF course, no man could keep
his seat under such provocatiOn. When
Brown had looked in vain for the dog
fight, he also looked in vain for his seat.
1t was completely hidden by that mean
man, who was so deeply interested in his
paper as to be wholly obliviOus of every
thing else. But Brown had his revenge.
A lady soon entered, and before any one
could offer her seat, he punched up the
mean man and said:
"Will you please give this lady a seat,
sir?''
Then they hung on to the straps and
glowered at each other until their brows
ached.-DetrOit Free Press.

BY WHAT SURE SIGNs

When she at last may come for whom I wait,
With sunlight or with sorrow on her face,
By what sure sign revealed shall trace
The vision'd semblance of my after fate?
But shall surely know her by the weight
OF light unfurled within a minutes space!
Yea, shall know her by the actual grace
Her soul eXtends-and shall be free to mate
My heart with hers. Nor this the only sign!
But something which the spirit shall devise
Will open up a summer to the skies
OF fervent purity and lasting shine
a something for the utterance too divine
Shall tremble from the silence of her eyes

THE VIGIL OF ADAM.

Far in Asia. saith the legend,
On peak whose nameless towers
Use the plains hundred miles of
For their dial of the hours;
Where the tallest Himalaya
Rises sad because so lonely,
Whence the eagle Swoops in terror,
And the stars of God are only;
Stitch one Of ancient visage,
One more strange than aught below him,
One who lived so near to God once,
That for man we scarce should know him;
Far above the busy world tribes,
Miles above the pine trees, bending,
Lonely as when God first made him,
There he keepeth watch unending.

MR.. M0USER'S SAWBUCK.

Mr.. Mouser and his merry little wife
occupied a charming cottage in the
suburbs of large city in the Gather
land" His business connections were of
such a nature that he was usually at
a. leisure after 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Mr.. Mouser prided himself on being a
man of originality and brains. Mr..
Mouser also liked a little joke, at other
peoples expense.
1t was autumn. Mr. Mouser had Just
laid in goOdly supply of winter fuel.
Wood was chiefly used for this purpose in
the land of Mr. Mousers birth.
Sitting by the window of his coZy liv-
ing room, enjoying a royal smoke from
the long stemmed porcelain pipe, Mr..
Mouser watched the wood sawyer plying
his trade, made easy by long habit of
handling wood and saw. AS Mr.. Mouser
gazed and pondered an idea crept into his
head. 1t was grasped-as ideas quickly
became captive there"
"Lzbeth," said he to his wife, at is
singular l never thought of it before-I
generally think of such things-but it
strikes me that l could saw that wood
myself"
s'Graciousl what an idear'
ga bright one, isn't it? A big saving,
too! Just see with what ease it is done

were slicing bread and butter; besides, |

what it has been"
''Why, DEAR do you feel ill?''
emo, but man needs to exert him
self if he does not wish to run down in
muscular power. Ny habits are too con-
filming; a sense of this fact has been grow
ing on me lately. But l have solved the
difficulty while watching that man play
on his sawjack."
A merry twinkle Of the eyes and
laudable endeavor to maintain a serious
expression would have convinced the be-
holder that Lizbeth also had ideas, but
like properly respectful wife she kept
them to herself until called for.
"Do you think, Lizbeth, that little
gentle muscular activity is what need to
stimulate appetizer
"You might paint the house or do some
less tiresome work than woodsawing,"
replied Mrs. Mouser
"Oh, you underrate my capacities, my
dear. And saving wood is not such hard
work. Come and see how simply it is
done, yet how every muscle is brought
into play. / am enchanted with my idea,
and shall carry it out. The man can
finish this job, but it shall be the last l
ever pay for"
Mr.. Mouser meant business. He at
once ordered the very best kind Of saw
jack made. He purchased splendid saw,
with sharp teeth and light frame. He
pranced about, happy as a SOCIOLOGY, with
dabs of yellow and green paint spattered
all over his person, until finally the saw
frame suited him in its bright yellow coat.
The saw jack he painted a lovely light
green.
Daily he promenaded impatiently
around the sheds where the wood was
stored, and grumbled because the fuel
lasted so unusually long. At intervals he
added another coat of green paint to the
highly decorated saving jack c'Sawbuck"
