Saved By a Pass.

During the reign of the James boys
in Missouri il was observed that the
trains of the Hannibal and st. Joe
were never molested by the James
boys or their banditti. Trains on
every other road near Kearney or
Kansas Ci.y were periodically robbed.
The 81. Joe road seemed TO be in
variably protected from their visits,
says The Denver News. 1t was all due
to an annual pass. One day while in
the Office of the general superintend-
ent of the road at Hannibal a News
reporter saw Il list of persons TO whom
annual passes were issued. Among the
number was the name of Mrs. Sam
uels, Of Kearney, Mo. This station is
a primitive settlement of houses that
resemble matchboxes whitewashed.
The place is known in history, how
ever, as the home of Jessie and Frank
James. the famous outlaws.
"How is thatf" was asked of the
superintendent in establishment, when
it was recalled that Mrs. Samuels was
none other than the one armed step
mother of the noted train robbers.
MY dear boy" responded the rail
road official with a suave smile and an
exuberant twirl Of his massive watch
chain, that annual pass saves the st.
Joe road thousands of dollars and our
trains, as you know, are never modest
cd by the James boys. We have car
red her for years and will continue
TO do so as long as we turn a wheel.
She has the only life pass on the
road"
Not long afterward, when Frank
James was pardoned and walked
around Kansas City in the last stages
of consumption, he was asked about
the little incident and responded feel
ingly:
1--WE never boarded a ST. Joe train
just on hat account. The kindness
shown our crippled mother and the
refusal Of the road to run a special
train Of Pinkerton men TO surprise us
touched the hearts of both Jessie and
myself. That is why we never both
cred that road"

The WindfaIls.

The orchard which is properly thin
ned will have much fewer windfalls
than the overloaded and neglected
trees. But what windfalls there are
will be better and well worth saving.
To prevent bruising they should have
a smooth surface Of the ground to fall
on. Scattered stones, where practical
BILE. should be picked and drawn off.
As the ground is To be plowed for sew
eral years while the trees are young,
it should be mellowed by narrowing
at the right time. and il is well TO sow
a thick crop of oats late in summer,
the growth Of which in autumn will
make a soft bed for the apples to drop
on. the crop Of oats being destroyed by
cold weather. If there are many small
stones on the ground. a roller will
sink them to the surface while the
soil is mellow from blowing or har-
rowing. When he trees become old
aud the orchard Is seeded to grass and
top dressed, the removal of all surface
stones will be important. Albany Oul.

The Man In the Moon.

The German legend says that ages
ago an old man went on Sunday
morning into the forest to bew sticks.
He cat a bundle Of fagots and slung
them over his shoulder. and began TO
trudge home with his burden. On his
way home he met a remarkable look
ing individual. with a face bright as
the sun.
"Do you know, old man, that IL is
Sunday on earth, when all men rest
from their labors2" said the stranger.
SUNDAY on earth or Monday in
heaven, il is all The same TO me-" said
the hardened old wretch.
Then bear your bundle forever"
said the stranger, as he vanished from
the old mans sight A moment later
the old sinner and his fagots were de-
posted on the moon, where they stand
TO this day. a warning to all Sabbath
breakers.
In England, Scotland, France, and
some parts Of the United States the
lines and spots on the moons face are
thought 10 be fair representations Of a
man and a blazing brush heap. ORR.
entail countries quite naturally take
the figure 10 be that of a lion.
Bishop Wilkins tells many odd sto-
ries concerning beliefs about ''the man
in the moon" and concludes that it is
the boy. Endymoin, whom Luna
loved SO we'll. Quite poetic, indeed,
and worthy as much credit as any Of
the other absurd notions. -John w.

A Smart Dog.


A reporter of The Ventura Gazette
was informed recently of u remarkable
example of sagacity, understanding
and obedience in a dog. The animal
is what is called a shepherd dog, is 10
years old, was born in Montana and
cannot understand English, the man
who raised him being a Mexican.
This Mexican is now in the employ
of Messrs. Shiappa Petra as a sheep
herder, and in his duties is ably as
sisted by his dog. About a week ago
he laid the following extraordinary
wager with one of his employers: He
bet his dog and a years work against
500 that the dog would stay Oh the
ranch alone, unattended by any hu-
man being. for ave days; that the
animal would taks The sheep 70 pas
me in the morning and bring them
to the corral at night and in fact look
out for the sheep in every way As we'll
as a man could.
The bet was taken and the Mexican,
first hanging up plenty of meat forthe
dog 10 eat, gave his instructions 10 his
dumb assistant and left the ranch,
coming 10 town. Last Sunday the
money was paid over by Shiappa Pr
eta, the dog having carried out for
five days, the instructions Of his mas
ter and winning the wager for him.
The Mexican says his employers are
very rich (andof course they are), but
they have not money enough To buy
that dog.

the physician to be hives in an aggravated form,
