A certain remoteness between per-
sons even 80 closely united as husband
and wife increases their pleasures in
each others society. Besides, little
formality tends to preserve amicable
relations and to prevent pickering. I
hate to see man remain seated In his
chair when his wife enters the room or
leaves it. I have known husbands
men, too, accustomed to pride them
selves on their good manners in general
society-who would lead the way to the
dining room when dinner was an
leaving their wives to follow.
And everybody Is familiar with the pro-
pensity which married people often ex-
hibit to cut in and spoil each others
stories and remarks. This kind of thing
would not be likely to occur If q certain
distance and ceremoniousness were OBJ
served between them. The other day I
was passing the house of q venerable and
highly esteemed citizen of Boston, when
the door opened and lady came out to
enter her carriage. The old gentleman
also appeared, though footman was in
and, bareheaded, handed
his wife to the coupe with . fine air not
only Of civility but of respect -Bostos
Hbek.

Meanwhile the band approached, and
the three Americans fired together,
throwing the ladrones into confusion
and forcing halt; but they rallied at
once, and six horsemen of the eight were
drawing near when the drivers compan-
ion by another shot brought a man to
the ground. At this moment the detect
i've and his guard appeared in the real
of the band, and Mr.. Wood ordered the
driver to slow down. The robbers dis
covered the trick, for, turning, they saw
the Reinforcement in the rear, and lost
no time leaving the road and making of
across the valley toward the mountains.
The stage met no further adventure,
and Mr.. Wood was able to return to
Mexico in q week. The afternoon OF
his arrival he accompanied the English
bank manager and the detective to the
hospital 1T Guadalupe, and found there,
to the surprise of the manager, the tel
ler, Mr.. Carlos Watfils, suffering from Q
shattered leg. :.
HMr. Watfils were tried in Mexico, il
is by no means certain that conviction
could be secured under its laws. II
was. indeed, chance if the Americans
might not be made to suffer for killing
men who had not attacked them. In
this view of the case, Mr.. Watfils wa
sent across the water with the English
officer, and having been convicted in
London of the crime of counterfeiting,
was sentenced to twenty years penal ser
vitude.-Ine ArgonGut.

about his person. In an outside
belt, elegantly embroidered, ne wore a
superbly ieweled revolver, warranted to
be useful as a weapon at long range, in
the hand of a self-cellected man resting
under safe shelter.
As to other personal furniture, his
comfortable figure was adorned with a
fine gold watch, possessing national
reputation for beauty and value through
out the public of Mexico, and a hat
covered with gold lace and bangles that
made it the envy of all the beaux in
town.
Under these conditions Mr.. Edgar
Wood entered the ten-mule stage that
stood in the patio of the Hotel Iturbide,
for q trip down the country to pay off
5000 laborers months wages.
The stage started. The wealthy con-
tractor was alone that morning. 'This
month";" he considered, "win cost me
20,O00, for which outlay the Govern
ment pays me 500, 600, which is $50, 900
clear gain. In two more shall be in
good trim, and I shall ask old Juarez
for Emilia. I think she admired me
last night when 1 said my adieu." And
he looked at his pistol. his fine watch
and elegant hat, and rifle ball whistled
through the coach window, followed by
0 command of "Pararse!" (halt).
There is no discussing such an order
given under such circumstances.
It was not possible for Mr.. Wood to
say just how he looked, but he felt very

Kansas City's Footpads.

Among the numerous incidents con-
nected with the reign of foodpads, one
occurred last evening at the corner of
Twelfth and Penn, says local paper.
Two gentlemen and lady were return
ing home from the theatre, and when
they reached the corner the lady OBJ
served the form of man in the shadow
of tree.
"Great heavens! THERE'S footpsd, F"
she exclaimed as she threw her hands
into the air.
In an instant the two gentlemen es-
corting her had their revolvers levelled
at the man, who stopped out, saying:
"What in-is the matter with you
peoplea I'm a policeman" and he
flashed his star. The gentleman begged
pardon, and struck with the ludicrous-
ness Of the situation, began to laugh.
''Stopl This is no laughing matter, !"
said the officer. "It's no longer safe for
policeman to be out at night"

Joking at the Hymenal Altar.

The other day several wel-known
young married men were becoming rem
iniscent in regard to their wedding day
experiences, and incidentally they be-
gan to talk of young man who was
not present. No sooner had the CONVEX
sation taken this turn than the young
man came up to the group, which was
seated in one of the county Offices, and
was called on for his experience.
"Well," he said, deliberately, and
with droll emphasis in every sentence,
ssyou all know what an Internal wag my
father is, and there is no occasion SO
sacred which he would not desecrate
with some Notifying joke. On the day
of my wedding I procured marriage
license late in the afternoon, and went
directly home. leaving it on the table in
the library while went to my room to
dress for the suspicious occasion. Pres
emily my father poked his head in the
door and said: George, did you get
your marriage icense2' Yes, father, l
replied, and I told him where it was.
CHOW, I will take one of you fellows
and place him with his bride at his side,
in front of an austere minister, who
asks, viii you let me have your mar
riage icense7' That was the position l
was in, and I was conscious that sixty
pairs of eyes were fixed upon me.
s.Ah, certainly" replied, and took
the envelope from inside my vest and
handed it to him.
"Holy smoke, fellows, you ought to
have been in my place that next minute,
when the preacher slowly lifted the flap
of the envelope, gravely took out a heavy
piece of brown paper, and looked me
severely in the face. I stammered that
something was wrong, and the whole
crowd seemed to coincide, as I heard a
faint litter. / cast down my eyes and
saw the license pinned to the bottom of
my trousers. I never will forget that
episode, and my father laughs every
week over it.-Indianapolis SentinA.

THE LAST GALL.

Ihsve come to call on Kitty,
But that dsmsel isn't in
AGone to grandma's on an Grand,
Says her sister, with grin;
Then this miss, half girl, half woman,
With a wholly tomboy air,
Seats herself and disconcerts me
With long and awful stare.
Does she know what am thinking
ASH fidget meath her look i?
Can this damsel read my feelings
From nv face as from book?
Then she knows what / have come for,
Oomprehends the state I'm In,
And the pleasure it affords her
Quite explains that horrid grin.
$50 you want to see my sister"
Says she to me, by-and-by,
With a silly little smoker,
And twinkle in her eye.
eyes, want to see your sister"
Is my answer, low and faint,
And my wits and words forsake me
(She's enough to vex saint).
Lots of fellows come to see her.
Iover's heart arrayed in crape),
And the grin with which she says it
Would do credit to an ape.
"Harry Jones was here last evening,
And he staid, and staid, and staid."
Oh, the cheerful information
Furnished by this charming maid!
"When they said good night saw 'em"-
Here she giggles in delight.
'Do you ever kiss my sister
When you think you're out Of sight !!
Oh, the awful thought that stabs me
To the heart-does Kitty Green
Let some other fellow kiss her
When she thinks she isn't seen?
'crhere comes Kitty. Oh, good gracious ~
With her hand upon her mouth
To keep the laugh that shakes her
As an earthquake does the South.
Tommy Brown is coming with her,
Don't you wish you had gun?
NyI when have beaux. like Kitty,
Won't have lot of fun"
Heartless wretch, to laugh at anguR
Such as wrings lovers heart!
Doubt and hope are in struggle
Shall tarry or depart?
Does bewitching Kitty love me,
As she led me to believe,
Or is she flirt, de!ighting
Tom, Dick, Harry to deceive ?"
''Oh, my goodness! did you see that? ?"
Cries this damsel, wonder-eyed.
Not word have I to utter
Doubt has conquered, love has died.
Where's my fancy for her sister,
1t has vanished in trice,
For behind the lilac bushes
Tommy Brown has kissed her twice.
I must CO." say: 'sgood evening""
And make swift retreat
To the music of smoker
That is anything but sweet;
And cross the threshold, conscious
OF q nameless little pain
Is it wrath, or is it sorrow?-
To . giggled "Call again."

Fisheries Of The Northwest.

1t is reported that the fisheries
along the, coast of Washington
territory are attracting the atten-
ton of Gloucester, Mass, fisher
men. The vicinity of Cape
Flattery has been well known for
years past to be stocked with the
finest halibut. Several years ago
one or two schooner cargoes of this
delicious ocean fish were brought
down from the cape to San Fran
cisco and retailed in the local
markets. Good prices were OBJ
tanned and the fish found ready
sale. but for some reason or other
The experiment was never repeat
ed. Now the Gloucester fisher
men have entered the field and
have begun the shipment of
Pacific Coast halibut to eastern
markets, and according to pub
lished reports, their enterprise has
been so successful that the busi-
ness promises to be permanently
established. These Gloucester
fishermen seem to be endowed
with more courage and enterprise
than our own. Their difficulties
with the Canadian government,
concerning the mackerelf fisheries
off the coasts of Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick and Newfoundland,
and the Unsatisfactory conduct Of
our own Government in the main
tenance of the rights and prlvil-
eges Of American fishermen, prob
ably influenced them to ester the
| fisheries of the Pacific Coast.
Some of their vessels have gone
this year into the Behring Sea seal
fisheries in defiance of the claim oi
the Alaska Commercial Company
to exclusive jurisdiction. Recent
ly new cod banks were discover
ed off the British Columbia Coast,
on which, the true cod is represent
ed to have been found in abund-
.ance. If these banks. are outside
of the limits of the marine league,
and are as well stocked with cod
as reported, they will, no doubt,
be promptly invaded by the Glou-
cester fishermen. The presence Of
these hardy and enterprising New
Englanders. on the Northwestern
Coast warrants the belief that at q
very early date the Pacific Coast
fisheries will be brought into much
greater prominence than ever be-
fore.-S. r. Bulletin, 10.

Horse bread is still commonly
made in Sweden. 1t is still COM
monty made and used in Tyrol,
and in certain parts of Switzerland
the, Engadine, for instance.
Your driver stops at the roadside
inn, and, before he buys anything
for himself, he buys for his horse a
large cake Of brown oat bread,
circular, flattish, the size and shape
of Yorkshire .yule cake. The
strong, quiet, steady horse--or
mare very likely-knows well what
all this means; looks on with eager
eyes as he slices the cake into
strips; munches slice after slice
with keen enjoyment; and finally,
perhaps, lays its lips upon his palm
to suggest the possibility of an
other loaf. Some drivers, indeed,
themselves desirous OF meal, are
content to crumble the bread into
a trough, and in that case the horse
will not only eat all the large
pieces, but will with teeth and
tongue take up every lmorsel and
crumb that strews the floor of the
trough. Such are his views as t.
the merits of oaten bread. -'

The other night a milk snake
over three feet long got into a
house in Fulton, ILL.,, and crawling
to window-sill was able to
squeeze through the wires of a
canary-bird cage hanging about
five feet from the floor. In the
cage were pair of canaries and
five nice ones nicely fledged out,
In the morning they were all there
in the cage, but, sad to relate, the
five young birds were inside the
snake. The reptile had swallowed
the birds, and then, being so IN
creased in girth as to be unable to
squeeze out through the wires, it
had coiled itself up in the bottom
of the cage, where it was discov-
cred by the owner of the house.
