HAD TO DO 1T.

That gandershanked living skeleton
who edits the dirty sheet down o. Black
jack avenue is out with a TRADE against
us for shooting Sioux Jim last week. He
is seeking to get up a public feeling against
US, although he very we'll knows that we
were fully exonerated by the ~coroner's
jury.
Sioux jim, who was a half breed, was
fighting drunk. He was looking for a
victim when he met us on Apache avenue.
He drew his knife with the purpose of
carving our anatomy to strings, but be-
fore he could proceed, we pulled gun
and sent six red-hot bullets into his car
cass. He was the third man we have had
to kill this fall in defence of our life, and
as we have had to pay all the burial ex-
penses in each case no n can claim that
we have shot for fun. 1t cost US $36 in
cold cash to plant Jim in decent shape,
and no one would have given $40 for
him when he was alive.-Arizona Kicker.

HOW HE LIVES.

A Washington correspondent writes
Il know Of a man about town here
who takes a great interest in public affairs,
visits the capitol regularly every day, i.
a charming talker, a welcome guest at
the home Of many Senators and members
and members of the House, in short, a
jolly good fellow but none whose
means of support have been something of
a mystery to his most intimate compan-
ions. The other day he applied to a
Senator, whose wealth is counted by the
millions for the loan of $500.
81 don't know that 1 shall ever De able
to pay you," said Jones, frankly-I call
him Jones because that isn't his name
" but if l am yer able | promise to do
So"
The Senator was a good deal surprised
by this unusual exhibition Of candor, and
replied in the same name
GAS you are so frank" said he, "you
cannot object to my initiating you. [
would like to know how you live. 1t
has been a mystery to me, and if l give
you the money I want you to crafty my
curiosity. Now don't be offended"
mot in the least" replied Jo-es. "On
the contrary, you have a right to know.
1 have no income, as many people sup
pose, but simply live on my friends. l
entertain them, do little services for them,
and then draw on them, as l have on
you, for my pay, I have eve struck
you before, and l hope I shall neve be
compelled to again; but just at present l
am fat broke, and you happened to be
the first man | met after receiving my
board bill, which, Of course, must be paid,
for I don't want to move
The Senator's establishment may better
be imagined than described. Recovering
his breath he exclaimed:
"Look here, Jones, if you live On your
friends, as you say, why in thunder do
you always board at a irst-class hotel? p
"Tha s easy enough to answer" re-
piled Jones, with a minutes hesitation,
eff I didn't board at a frst-class hotel l
wouldn't have any friends"

H TWO SEXES.

The men do not love the women so
much as they love to have the women love
them.
When you have found a poor girl who
is said to be pretty, you have found q
really pretty girl.
Women are most sensible when among
women, and men are most sensible when
among men.
Some women are never pleasant to
their husbands except when there is some
other women around
The man with the greatest JOY, and the
man with the heaviest sorrow, are the
men who say the least.
The man never renews his youth but
once; a woman enews hers every time
she puts on a new dress.
The corset is a friend to all: the fat
wear it to make them look lean, and the
lean wear it to make them look fat.
Times are changing to such an extent
that it will only be a few years until
parents will be sent to bed for talking
back.

THE SMILE THAT AWAITS NE
AT HOME.

So mething l own that wealth cannot buy,
And not offered for sale on the mart;
Something for which the great often sigh
With an unhid den void in the heart;
Something possessed by one little spot
In a corner l know on earth 8 loan,
Waiting for me in a neat, cosy cot,
It's a sweet, loving smile in my home
When all the world is dreary and cold,
And the clouds darkly hang Ger the way;
Friendship and honor purchased with gold'
And a world seems to win to betray;
Still one fond thought, thro' shadows will
shine,
AS [ back to that humble cot roam,
Feeling as rich as w, alth-laden mine,
With a swee loving smile in my home.
When that bril- hit scene shall vanish and lace
Into visions Of heaven beyond
The earth grows dim in deaths misty shade,
With the forms so loving and fond
Yet will remain forever in mind,
Though afar in the heavens broad dome.
The sweet, happy face, loving and kind,
With the smile that awaits me at home.

SOS the buggy d tumble down with 'em
on the road home, and l went right
straight to tend to it. After I'd throwed
the bars over into the cow lot I went off
and laughed till | was sick, a. thinkin'
how Fred and Emily d be piled out on
the way and have to walk home.
"Soon as I could strengthen my face
up 1 went in and cut SIGH asplurge among
the girls that l reckon 1 must a made
Emily jealous; anyways, she left Fred
I'D kind O. made up to me. By the time
was was ready to go home we wa as
sweet on n another as though nothin'
had happened.
"The first half mile of our road was
smooth as a floor, but / didn't hurry none.
I told Emily the sorrel colt was young
and it wouldn't do to drive him too fast,
and she lowed l was right.
We got along splendid till we came
to a little creek we had to ford. AS the
wheels went down the bank there was a
jolt and then a wabble, and out we went
into the creek, ker-chunk. JENNY =!
You could a heerd the screech Emily
give as she soused into that icy water
clean over into the next county. | felt
like hollerin' myself, only my mouth was
so full of mud and gravel I couldn't.
Quick's l could I helped Emily out. By
that time we could hear the sorrel colt
a-tearing down the lane half a mile away,
list lickety- brindle so there was nothin'
left to do but walk back to Simpsons. It
was along towards the latter end of
October, and our clothes froze stiff.
Emily mouth must a froze shet, too, I
reckon, fer she's never spoke to me to
this day. Of course l felt awful, but fer
all that I couldn't help chucklin' every
time I thought of the trouble that Fred
and his girl nd git"
Did Fred's buggy wheels come off in
the creek, too? asked Bronson, after
waiting in vain for the old nan to finish
his story.
"Noap Didn't come off at all. Ye
see, Fred's buggy stood right side O. mine
that night; it was darker n sack O black
cats, and l was in dreadful hurry, and
well, the fact O. the matter is, I fixed
the wrong buggy" G. F. CARTER.

A CLEVER WIFE'S RUSE.
How She Persuaded Her Husband to
Take Her to Europe.

NAS
Women are smarter than MIN every
time" sail the manager of a large tourist
excursion business in an argument over
the respective qualities of the sexes to a
New York Times reporter, " and | can
tell you a little story to back my stat =
ment that I think is a clincher. When |
was in Chicago some years ago an elderly
lady came into my Office one day and
asked me to prepare a trip to the CONT
nent for her husband and herself. l set
to work on 1t the following morning and
had lust about finished the schedule when
a man came ruShiLg in, introduced him
self as the husband of my previous days
caller, and told me to stop my work. He
said he did not want to go to Europe, and
he wouldn't go. and he would be blessed
if his wife was going either. He notified
me also tina he held the family purse
strings, and then departed.
- threw the schedule away with a
mild ohjlrga Dry remark about female
ways and started in on something else.
Half an hour later in came the lady
and said tina. | was not to bother with
what her husband said. She told me
that the trip was going to be made, and
that he was going with her, and that
WI en- she made up her mind to do any
thing she generally did it. She left a
one-huId ed-dollar guarantee with me to
finish up me itinerary, and I went ahead.
When the starting day came around
the husband walked to see me, paid up
like a little man, and went away with his
tickets, but he offered no explanation as
to his change of mind.
In the fall of the year | met the
couple on the steamer coming home, and
one night over our cigars the husband
told me the story Of how his wife per-
suaded him to take the trip.
"'She didn't say a word to me on the
subject said he. after the day | called
on you to countermand her orders, and I
swelled with pride to think how easily 1
had knocked the idea out of her head.
On the Sunday morning before I cal ed
on you again we went to chu ch as usual.
and after the sermon and just as l was
preparing my nil d for din Ter, the pastor
nearly stuntrd me by announcing that m :

few days, and that we wished the prayers

on our pew at once, and everybody Joined

do but look thankful? | had a bad fifteen
