10 Esterbrooks' Parsnips.
Prom the Minneapolis Journal


10 Esterbrooks is best known on the East
Side as janitor of the Winthrop school. But he
is no fool OF gardener. 1t is the envy of his
Fourth street neighbors to see how bis green
corn and cucumberS shoulder each other out of
the way in their anxiety TO get out of the rich
soil and into the sunlight Some people say
that Mr.. Esterbrooks uses "hyperphosphites''
on them; but this is generally regarded as a
fable.
The other morning when Mr.. Esterbrooks
arose with the sun he naturally first took a
look at his little garden. For moment his
eyes bulged out with establishment and sur
prise. He rubbed them, pinched himself, and
took second look. There could be no mistake
about it. His parsnips, planted the day before
were up But they were not ''up" in the way
the LORI intended then. The fact is they were
ike roots in the air, the morning dew-drops yet
glistening on their foreheads.
Mr.. ESterbrooks examined the ground care
fully. There were traces of footprints and the
prints led over the fence Mr.. Esterbrooks laid
one finger beside his nose and smiled grimly
Then he went into the house. He had recog-
nized the tracks of that animal quite common
in the blooming Second ward-the Practical
Joker.
During the day Al Stone and Sam Hamilton
strolled over to the school and asked SIR Ester
brooks how his garden was coming on. The
gardener put two and two together, but he
sawed wood and said nothing.
That evening. after he had watered his lawn
he arranged the hose in a trellis so that it com
manded the approaches of the garden, and
hired small boy to stand guard in the cellar
at the stopcock. He didn't have to wait long.
About 10 O'CLOCK two figures stole in toward the
garden. Mr.. Esterbrook pulled the string at
tached to the boy, and with gluglety -br-r-r-r-
hiss the Mississippi juice spouted over the in
truders.
When Dir. Esterbrooks got through laughing
he saw q vision of coat-tails and vibrating
elbows going down Fourth street shedding
water and horse-talk at every step.
The parsnips came up right end up few
days later.

Didn't Want His Name On Il
From tn. Washtnotou Post

A gentleman who passes in this country for
pretty long headed politician stepped into a
store on the avenue yesterday and bought q
very handsome silk umbrella.
Would you like TO have your name engraved
on the handler" asked the storekeeper.
What for?"
''You might lose it,"
well, what good would my name on it do
meg'
why, if an honest person found II he would
return it to you"
Nonsense" said the politician, nobody is
honest enough TO return an umbrella y per-
son who wouldn't think of stealing a cent will
take an umbrella without Ia twinge of con-
science. l sometimes think it isn't even dis
honest to steal an umbrella, and guess good
many people think the same thing
Then you don't wish it engraved?"
no, of course not. You see if my name is
on it the fellow who takes it viii know lust
whose sight to keep it out of. But if I don't
put my name on it stand some chance of
catching him with it. No, 1t will do better as
it is"

From the Ne,o York Sun.

One of the city hall newsboys was sound
asleep on the board covering of the dry foUn-

lady coming along seemed struck with pity at
the sight. She lowered over the gamin for
moment, and then touched him daintiy and
awoke him.
''Oh, you poor little fellow she said;
haven't you any place to sleep but thisi''
''Nuh."
why, you poor little boy, I'm so sorry" and
she walked on, deeply moved by his hard lot
The sleepy gamin kicked his toes against the
fountain as he watched her. and seemed to be
wondering if it was necessary for him to be
walked up out of a comfortable nap every time
a kind hearted woman wanted to know if he
hadn't any other place to sleep.

Billings was convicted of the murder of
County Attorney w. S. Kingsley, and SEN
fenced to twenty years imprisonment at
Anamosa. BILLINGS visited Kingsley's
Office and presented for his signature GER
taln documents conveying to Billings all
the possessions of Kingsley, even to an
order on the county auditor for his salary
as county attorney during the remainder Of
his term. The reason for this was the al
legged discovery by Billings that Kingsley
had debauched his wife. the discovery
coming through an alleged confession by
Mrs. Billings. which in court was proved
to have been dictated by and prepared at
the instance of Billings imself. There
was undoubtedly great feeling against
billings IN Bremen county. but Judge
Ruddick denied an application for a
change of venue and the trial resulted in
Billings speedy conviction. The supreme
court holds that Judge Ruddick abused the
discretion of the law in refusing I, change

Then in loud voice he gave the order
Right about, face! March," Obedi-

to position, and obeying his own order
fell heavily upon the ground, while
blood burst from his mouth and nose in
profusion. The loss of blood relieved
the pressure on his brain, and he re-
turned to consciousness. We at once
conveyed him to the field hospital,
where he was we'll cared for. He was
soon ordered North, but never recov-

nubuo,,c CelebratiOn,

The semi-centennal of the founding of
the first Congregational church of Du-
buque was recently celebrated by elaborate
exercises. The celebration closed with q
splendid banquet, at which many toasts
and responshs were given. A feature of
the celebration of peculiar interest
was the presence of all the former
pastors of tie church who are now
alive, one of them coming from San Fran
cisco, and another from Massachusetts.
At the time this church was founded there
were but two other Congregational
churches in the then territory OF Iowa.
The pastors present were Rev. j: G. Hol-
brook. San francisco; Rev. j: S. Bingham,
Traer, Iowa; Rev. Lyman Whiting, Will
JAMESTOWN, Mass; Rev. G. E. Harrington,
Nashua, N. H.. and Rev. DR.. G. o. Brown,
the present incumbent. At ITS organlza-
ton the church had membership of seven.
1t is to-day one of the most powerful
Cong. egational churches in the northwest.

gunboats patrolled the river, and we
had scarcely arrived on the east bank,
gone into camp and started our fires
when General Parsons rode up and
said: "Boys, pack up and get out of
here in five minutes or you will be
shelled out!"
Immediately the mules were har-
messed, the wagons loaded and we
started down the levee. About half a
mile lower down we went into camp
behind a narrow strip of timber which
hid rs from the river. In few min
utes string of gunboats puffed lazily
past us going north. That night we
took our wagons apart and loaded them
with our battery on flat-boats. The
next morning at daybreak we started
across the river and landed in q slough
about seven miles down on the other
side, out Of sight of passing gunboats.

No Pardon for the Younp,rs.

kilograms from st. Louis several weeks
ago stated that petitions were being largely
signed throughout Missouri asking the
governor of Minnesota to pardon the no.
torlous Younger brothers now confined in
the state prison at Saltwater. and it was
said that petition to that effect had been
signed BY every member of the Missouri
legislature. SO far, however, Gov Merri-
rlam h's not received single petition in
favor OF pardoning these men. Official
knowledge of the exis ence of such petit
tlons has been received in the shape of
protests against granting pardon or in
terfering in any respect with the life SER
tence. Fully a dozen protests have come
from prominent men in Missouri and Ar
kansas expressing the hope that Gov. Mer-
riam will pay no at cntion to the petitions.
