How He Licked Desperate risOner Out
of His Boots.

How He licked % Desperate risoner Ont
of His Boots.
My father was sheriff of certain
county in Kansas about twenty years
ago, and during certain summer we
received on ~ sentence of six months
very tough fellow named Joe Williams.
lie had been sentenced for attempted
demonstrating, and my father knew that
sharp watch must be kept over him or
he would take French leave.
Joe had put in about two weeks on his
term when my mother started off on a
visit, was hurt en- route, and father had
to go to her. His first deputy and as
s'stant jailer was u man of fifty, named
StebblnS, who was his cousin. ''Steb'
was peppery old chap and great brag
and liar. According to his statements
he had licked more men, killed more In
ilans, run down more sethieves and
helped lynch more desperadoes than any
other man living. Father cautioned him
over and over about watching Williams,
who was the only prisoner we had, and
'Steb' sturdily replied:
You go right along and rest easy,
Henry. If l was fool huff to let him git
away I'd expect to be shot and throwed
to the gophers.''
Father had scarcely gone when Will
| Jams began calling, and went into tie
| corridor with the old man to see what
was wanted. was only ten years old,
but l can wildly recall every thing.
The Jail was made of rough stone, and
one-half of it was the sheriff's residence.
The jail part was only one big room,
with plain but stout iron-grated door
leading into the corridor. AS the
|
were open. Nalcn We looked in on Joe
he said:
SEQ here, Steb, I hear you arc bragg
cling good deal about how how many
mon you have put on their Backs
There's no brag about it," replied
the old man. Il never found Il human
! couldn't lay down in five minutes"
That's all wind and you know it,
retorteI Joe. You ought to be ashamed
of your jaw
'Who you talking too
TO you, you old wind bag! You talk
of wrestling! Why, kin grease the floor
with your carcass
Don't get my dandcr up warned
Stcb in tremulous voice, 'oc I'll

''Trouncc me! Say, old blowhard, l
kin lathcr you with one hand tied be-

"Never''
Take that back or I'll come in and

You dasnt. I'll dare We to come in
and pint finger at me-
Some more Of the sort followed, and
Steb got the idea that he must enforce
his authority or suffer a loss of prestige.
lie was the older but als1 the bigger
man, and he kept getting mad until he
finally peeled oil his coat, unlocked the
door and lodged in. He made for Will
Jams, but the latter duckcd under his
arm, upset nc at the door. and was off
like shot, and before pursuit could be
organized he was beyond reach. Old
Steb stood in ,.he back door and watched
him for fully five minutes before saying
a word Then heard :. in growl:
''Consarn him for skipping out but
I've got the consola ton OF knowing tn t
he's the fOrty-third man Eve licked

NAMES OF FABRICS,
Most of Them Were Derived From Those
of Eastern Cities.

Most of Them We're Derived From Those
of Eastern Cities.
Every thing connected with ones
business is of Importance. Very few
dry-goods men know the origin of the
names of many of the goods they handle.
They may seem trivial points, but they
arc of interest to the man who seeks to
be thoroughly familiar with the mer-
chandise in which he deals. For the in
formation Of such we give tho deriva-
ton of the names of the following
goods: Damasll is from the City of Da-
mascus: satins from Zaytown in China;
calico from Calicut, a town in India,
formerly celebrated for its cotton cloth
and where calico was also printed. Mus
lin is named from NoSul in Asia. AL
paca, from an animal in Peru. of the
llama species, from whose wool the
fabric is woven. !'uckram takes it's
namc from Fostat. a city of the Middle
Ages. from which the modern Cairo is
descended. Tatfeta and tabby from u
street in Bagdad. Cambria from Cam
brai. Gauze has its name from GAIA;
baize from Hajac: dimity from Damietta,
and jeans from Jean. Drugget is de-
rived from a.city i'll Ireland. Drogheda
Duck comes from Torque, in Normandy.
Blanket is called after Thomas Blanket,
a famous clOthiCr connected with the
Introduction of WoOlens into England
about 1910. Serge derives its name from
Nerga. a Spanish name for Il peculiar
wooden blanket Diaper is not from
D'Yprcs as it is sCmc times stated, but
from the Greek diasfron, figured. Vel
vet is FROM the Italian vellute, wooliy
Uatin vcllus-a hide or pelt). Shawl is
the Sanscrit sala, floor, for shawls were
first used as carpets and tapestry. Ban
dana is from an Indian word to bind or
tie, because it is tied in knots before
dyeing. Chintz from the Indian chott
Delaine is the French ''of wool. ''-Trade
journal.
Philosophy of the Street.
Women can be conquered but never
convinced.
It's poor dolt who can not invent an
excuse for his foolishness.
People who are temperate in all
things are generally satisfied with none.
Successful business men have to rele-
gate the luxury of being SICK to their
employees.
How uncomfortable chronic kicker
looks when he is accidentally right and
gets majority on his side.
Why should custom ask man to set
up the cigars because his expenses arc
increased by the arrival of baby?
While wealth receives respect the
man who possesses it is sometimes fool
ish enough to believe that it is to him
the people bow.-NIilwaulee Journal.

Although Claus Sprcckles' Philadel-
phia refinery does not yet count for
much rs n material factor in the produc-
ton of sugar, it i, said that the exist
ence of this refinery does exercise
highly important moral influence upon
very much smaller. j" ! l.. than popu-
lar report has CT, tl, with. Hui
there Is no questie'i, g. . under more
favorable conditions that is, larger
difference between the cost of raw
sugar and the selling price of refined
the Spreckles refinery could become
very quickly IA highly important con-
tributor to the refined sugar
market. If the representatives of tho
sugar trust were not Mt the present
time in an uncertain, because discord-
ant, condition, it is probable that over
lures would be made to Mr. Spreckles
to merge his interests with theirs. for
the purpose Of putting an end to COM
petition. The German Californian has
in the past proved himself to DO an
adept in the science of combination, and
there is no reason for believing that he
is now carrying on business for mere
sentiment. His idea, undoubtedly, is to
make all the money that he can : but
just now the sugar trust does not seem
to be in position to make propositions
to him, and with the possibilities of the
illegality of the business, even Mr.
Spreckles may consider it wise to wait
until matters settle themselves upon a
more substantial basis.

THE BALL PLAYERS GRIEVANCE
The really strong point of Ward, the
base ball player, in his striving to invali-
date his contract to play ball with the
New York league club, we do not find
touched upon by the judge in his late
decision or, IL so, it is not reported. 1t
is that the contract made by Ward is so
unfair and one-sided that it is against
public policy to allow it. We say this
assuming Wards contract to be like
that of the other members OF the league.
which it probably was, That contract
gives the management of q club the
right to the ownership Of a player,
practically speaking. He is the clubs
property, to serve it if it wants
him; if not, to be sold to some other
club. In point of fact, many players
have been compelled unUcr this form of
contract to go from one city to another
against their will, while others have
been sold for sums as high as $4,000,
in not dollar of which did they them
selves share. Yet with all this, the CORE
spending rights of player are so little
considered that he may be discharged at
any time upon ten days notice given
him. 1t is this unjust and unreasonable
form Of contract, in our opinion, which
has made all the trouble for the league.

came under the control of the Unit ed States an unlimited ight of mining by every person who chose t,-enter upon and take the risks of the bus.ness was permitted without objection and without compensa- tion to the government; and while this remainel for many years as right resting upon the tacit assent of the government, the princiL 6 has been since incorporated i..oY to positive legislation of Congress, and today the larger part of the
 valuable mines of the United States are held by individuals under the claim of discovery, without patent or any other instrument from the government of the United States granting thls right, and without tax or compensation paid to the government for the use of the pre- cious metals.
 As showing this extreme liberal ity on the part of the general gov ernment, reference may be had to the case of Forbes V. Gracey, 94
 U. $. 762. In that case mining company which had no title what ever from the United States, and winch was taking out mineral ore of immense value from the lands of the United States, sought to enjoin the State of Nevada from taxing the ore thus taken, on the ground that it was the property of the United States and not taxable by the State of Nevada. But this colrt, reverting to the liberality of the government in that regard, de- cided that the moment the ore be- came detached from the main vein in which 1t was embedded in the mine, it became the property of the miner, the United States having no interest Tn 1t, and was therefore subject to State taxation.
 Upon the whole, we see no equity in the relief sought by the appellants in this case, which un- dertakes to deprive the defendants of this recognized right to permit their cattle to run at large over the lands of the United States and feed upon the grasses found in them while, under pretence of owning a small proportion of the land which is the subject of controversy, they i themselves obtain the monopoly ot i this valuable privilege.
 The decree of the Supreme Court of Utah is therefore Affirmed.
