A Prison keeher's Nerve.

A shipmaster of my acquaintance, who
has been very successful as warden in
more than one penal institution, told me
that he once heard that a criminal con-
fined under his control had said that he
would kill the warden on the first OPP
portunity. Captain E. said nothing, but
the next afternoon, when he had an hours
leisure, sent for the man. ''Bin, let us
call him, found the captain strapping his
razor. ''Oh, Bill is that your ex-
claimed the warden. "Well, never mind,
can you shaver" The man replied that
he had often shaved his companions
"All right, suppose l see what kind of a
barber YOU are2" With that he took a
seat in his chair, handed the criminal the
razor. and was shaved. Bill went faith
fully through his duty, and when he had
finished the captain said: They told
me that you were watching for chance
to kill me, so l thought | would give you
as good a one as you could ask for; that
was all ''Bill' skunk sheepishly way,
and from thence the captain had no tirmer
friend than the desperate crlminal.-B0s-
ton Irareler.

After our emotions had Gained down

misdirected the envelopes, that his must
have been a rejection and had been sent
me. In his chagrin and disappointment
that had been preferred to hun, he had
kept the note, hoping that the one sent
me might have no name in it, ard thinking
l had been rejected would leave without
an explanation Then followed an ac-
count of the upbraidings of conscience,
the Strivings of his better nature, until
he had written this explanation to give
me, in case of our meeting or of his
death.

WISE WORDS.

Be honest and then be generous.
Mockery never degrades the just.
Let none wish for unearned gold.
Whose credit is suspected is not safe to
be trusted.
A true man never frets about his place
in this world.
Something is wrong when a man IS
afraid of himself.
Honesty is better capital than a
sharper's cunning.
Leave your business unduly and your
business will leave you.
1t would be shame if your mind should
falter and give in before your body.
No longer talk at all about the kind
of man that good man ought to be, but
be such.
We ought not to Judge of mems merits
by their qualifications, but by the use
they make of them.
Usually speaking, the worst-bred per-
son in company is young traveller just
returned from abroad.
There is a transcendant power in ex-
ample We reform others unconsciously,
when we walk uprightly.
There are many that despise half the
world; but if there be any that despise
despises them.
Women famed for their valor, their
skill in politics or their learning, leave
the duties Of their own sex in order to in
wade the privileges of males.

Farming Land Getting Scarce.

The Farm and Home says: The time
when ''Uncle Sam is rich enough to give
us all a farm" is nearing its end. Nearly
every acre of desirable Government land
open to settlement under the homestead
act is now taken. This fact explains the
extraordinary rush for Oklahoma, which,
under the Presidents proclamation, was
"opened up'' April %. The most which
any settler could secure was a quarter
section (16O acres), and as there are only
5000, 0O0ofacres in the proposed new ter
ritory, little figuring will show that less
than Is, 900 quarter sections were availa-
BILE. For this amount of land there was
a grand scramble by at least 30, 900
wOuld-be settlers, boomers and specula-
tors. The territory was open for settle
ment at noon, and within few hours
from that time the proposed city of Guth
RE was laid out, daily paper started,
postoffice opened, a bank set a-going and
a municipal election held. In other parts
of the ''promised land' similar scenes
were enacted, the whole being state of
affairs peculiarly American and such as
could not be paralleled in any other ma
ton on the globe-a territory as large as
Rhode Island and Delaware together set
tied in half day. The new territory is
a part of that formerly coded to the In
dams, who again have to move on before
the advancing tide of civilization.
This results from the craze, started
nearly half a century ago, to empty the
surplus population of Europe on the pub
lie lands of the United States-to give
away these lands as soon as possible and
leave American posterity TO paddle their
own canoe, and let most of them do with
out lands. Then there was craze among
railroad companies and politicians to
bring landlords and land kings from
Europe and sell them tens Of millions of
acres of land. Then great cattle trusts
absorbed millions of acres, and bonanza
wheat farmers millions more. When their
is no more land for sale, what next?
Uncle Sam will soon be landless; not rich
enough to give US all farm.
