During the closing minutes OF tho
session of the court OF general term in
room 40. . at the courthouse yesterday,
says the ST Lo7is Republic, pale,
gricf-tg~ruwed face might have been
seen pressed against the glass panel ut
the door. The eyes were large and
black, but dimmcd with excessive weep
ing. and there were heavy black circles
under them. Her dress was black and
thrcldhurc. For ten minutes she stared
into the courtroom, hcsitatiug between
fear and inclination. Meantime court
had adjourned, the judges retired and
all attorneys and loungcrs went quickly
out. Stlu the woman held her place at
the door. Presently some one passed,
saw the woman, addressed "a word or two
70 her, and then, opening the door for
her, said To- Clerk Brent:

the clerk.

HER STEAMER FRIEND.
How n st. Paul Woman Acquired Some
worldly NNlndoIn.

Worldly Wisdom
4 well-known St. Paul woman, who,
not long ago made little journey in
the world" came back with some world
" wisdom as to the indiscriminate max
ing of friends that she had never had
before, says the New York Evening Sun.
1t came about. in this way. Her little
journey was across the water, and
while on the homeward-bound ship she
found herself one day engaged in the
most animated and pleasing conversa-
tion with man who sat near her chair
on the deck. There was something
wonderfully pleasing in his personality;
he was evidently person Of culture,
and with 4 wonderful fund of knowl-
edge at his command His entire bear
ing toward her was one of such exquisite
tact and Difference that the two
soon became fwarm friends, and spent
long hours each day exchanging opin-
ions upon all kinds of impersonal topics.
BY and by, just before the steamship
reached New York, it transpired that
the man, himself still unknown, had
known all along who the lady was and
where her home was. When she asked
him in surprise how he could have known
her he answered briefly: Il am a St.
Paul man myself This gave the kind
ly little woman an opportunity. Then
my husband and l viii be glad to see
you any time in our home" she said
cordially.
Pardon me, madam" he answered
frankly, we have been friends on board
the steamship. But when we return TO
st. Paul neither you nor your husband
would receive me in your home, and
you would be fully justified. beg you
will you viii not ask the reason"
And she did not. But when = few
hours later her husband met her on the
pier and she pointed her late friend out
to him with the whispered story he an
swered slowly: "Wen, he has behaved
like = gentleman, and I won't thrash
him. But he was quito right in what he
said. He is one Of the best known con-
fidence men in the United States"

Samuel w. King, at the head OF one of
the largest legal collection concerns
in the country, has met and sesn every
type OF man. From his observations.
says the Chicago Tribune, he has made
the following deductions, had them
printed, and hung in his Office:
MEN TO BEWARE OF.
Beware OF the man who ''swears bv
all the gods at once, " or one at a time.
for that matter.
OF the man who slaps you between
the shoulders and call you ''old man. ."
No amount of familiarity Is any excuse
for this.
OF the man who hyphenates his words
with EZRA"
or the man whose first salutation Is,
what's the ncws?"
OF the man who asks You. when he
has seen you speak TO another, Who's
your fricnd?r
OF the man who asks you, Where did
you get it?"
OF the man who in leaving says, ''Scc
you later
OF the man who pokes YOU in the
ribs whom he is talking.
or the man who adjusts the lapel OF
your coat OF ruhs one sleeve, or both.
when he is talking 10 you.
OF the man who talks to Won on vour
train, or on q strect-car, when he never
saw you before, unless there is n public
crisis. Victor Hugo says that such
saIutations show public anxiety. and
are only cNcusabie when there is public
excitement
& Sensible fellow, that Hugo.
OF man who occupies o whole table
in the writing-room OF a hotel.
or the man who can't ret out OF

OF the man who drops into a drug
store 70 look up a name in the directory
and hangs on 20 the book as II It were a
new novel whom he secs three or four
Others waiting to look up names.
OF the man who stands at the hoy
Office Of a theater when tLcre is a crowd
back Of him, talking about best seats
and other topics.
The woman who will do this is no
better. She isn't as good as a man.
Finally-bcwarc Of the man who
comes but never goes, and OF his conn
panion picture, the man who starts TO 70
but doesn't.

AUBREY'S FAMOUS RIDE.
A FEAT THAT HAS FEW PARALLELS
IN PHYSICAL ENDURANCE AMI
BRAVERY.


'The greatest physical achieve
ment ever accomplished in this
country said John F. Graham al
the Gien1rm yesterday, "was the
ride Of r. y. Aubrey from the plaza
Of santa Fee, y. NJ, 70 the public
square at Independence, Mo-, 4
l distance Of nearly 500 miles, through
a country inhabited by warlike IN
dians, a large part Of which was
then a sandy desert"
Being urged 20 give an account Of
I the great ride, Graham proceeded:
sit was about the year 1851 that
Aubrey gave his wonderful test Of
human entrance before which
all other attempts IL the kind
pale into insI-niiicance. He
was short, heavy-set man.
thiTiy-eigLt years OF age. in the
prime OF manhood and strength.
His business for ten years as a Sau-
IA Fe trader had made him perfectly
familiar with the Trail and all the
stopping places. He was n perfect
horsemsn, and, although there were
great riders IN those days, none Of
them dared 10 dispute the palm with
Aubrey. On a wager Of 81 900 he
undertook 10 ride alone from Santa
Fe to Independence inside Of six
days. IL was thlTty-nine years ago
that he undertook the terrible feat.
IL was 10 ue the supreme effort OF his
life, and he sent "a half dozen Of the
swiftesL horses aheid % be sta
toned az different points for use in
the ride. He lrft Santa Fe in
4 sweeping gallOp, ant that
was the pace he kept up
during nearly every hour Of the time
until ne fell iainting from his foam
covered horse in the square OF hide
pendence. Norman could keep with
the rider, AMI he would have killed
every horse in the west rather than
to have failed in the Undertaking.
ii took him just five days and nine
teen hsurs 10 perform the feat, AMI
cost the lives Of several Of his best
horses. After being carried into n
room ut the old hotel at Indepen-
donce, Aubrey lay for fsrty-eight
hours in a dead stupor before he
came to his senses. He would never
have recovered from the shock had
it not been for his wonderful con-
stjtution. The feat was unanimous
~ regarded by western men as the
greatest exhibition Of strength and
endurance ever known on the
plains"
"What became Of Aubrey after
warl:" was asked.
"After his ride he became the
lion OF the West and was dined and
feed ut st. Louis rs though he had
been n conquering hero. He finally
met his death at the hand Of a
friend. One day in 1854. in an alter
cation with Majcr Richard II.
Weightmau, the great rider was
stabbed to the heart and dropped
dead i'm a Santa Fe saloon. He was
buried in an unknown grave, and
all that is remembered Of Aubrey is
his remarkable ride. Weightman
was tried upon the charge OF murder,
but was acquitted, and, Joining the
army, was shot at VIII
sons Creek, while leading his
brigade into battle.-DeHrer Neirs.
