Turn-About With u Whip.

'tBefore the war;" said a veteran
commercial traveller, the other evening,
Il was travelling through the South.
One day stood on the veranda of a
small town in Georgia, waiting for
train time. Suddenly, man dashed
past me out of the hotel with cooked
revolver in one hand and cowhide
whip in the other, and rushing up to a
gentlemanly looking fellow, slowly
coming down the street, covered him
with the pistol, crying savagely: Fold
your arms. I am going to thrash you"
The young fellow complied, and
the other began to rain blows all over
his face, neck and shoulders. The
rough edges of the strips of raw hide
cut and tore the flesh and burned like
hot irons. But the victim bravely
stood his ground, showing only by his
Pallor and Involuntary twitchings of
the mouth and eyes the awful agony
he was suffering. Presently the other
began to tire and ceased to strike.
Have you finished now?' calmly
asked the young man.
YES sullenly growled the other.
"'Then put up your gum
mo sooner was the revolver restored
to it's place than, quick as fash the
young man whipped from his pocket a
pistol of large caliber, and, with look
of fierce determination, cried: Now
give me that whip and. fold your
arms.
And what a thrashing he gave
him, T." exclaimed the drummer. THE
fellow cried and begged for mercy and
threw up his arms to protect his face,
but all in vain. The avenger cut and
cut until he was tired out, then with a
swift motion he turned the whip in his
hand and struck heavy blow on the
temple with the heavily-loaded butt.
The man fell senseless to the ground.
The other threw the whip down on his
PROSTATE body, and walked into the
hotel to wash the blood from his face
and neck -

Famous HOaxes.

There is one feature of American
humor entirely distinct from any
characteristic of which I have hitherto
written. Hoaxing of the too credulous
reading public has been nowhere so
successfully practised as in this country.
Richard Adams Locke, a mild-man-
nered editor, soberly proclaimed, in
the summer of 1885, that Sir John
Herschel, of astronomical fame, had
made astonishing discoveries at the
Cape of Good Hope with new forty
two-thousand-poWer magnifer of the
moon. Locke was infinitely scientific
and attractively vivid in his descrip-
tions Of lunar formations of basaltic
rock Covered with dark red foWers),
water, trees, plants, volcanoes, BIRDS
animals, and life's higher orders This
narrative appeared in the New York
San. The subsequently, published
pamphlet is nowadays harder to grasp
than at that period the mountains and
fountains Of nights queenly silver orb
seemed to be. Since Locke's time

frequent. ELI Perkins is grossly

1t Makes Him Hot.

IF there is one thing more than
another that makes me hot under the

whose daily duties compel him to mix
with the maddening crowd, ..it is to

Quite a Miracle.

A servant-boy was sent down town
with valuable ring. He took it out
OF the box to admire it, and passing
over a plank bridge let it fall on a
muddy bank. Not being able to find
it. he ran away to sea, finally settled in
q colony, made large fortune, came
back after many years, and bought the
estate on which he had been a servant.
One day, while walking over his land
with a friend, ne came to the plank
bridge. and there told his story. Il
could swear he said, pushing his
into the mud, ito the very spot on
which the ring dropped. When he
withdrew his stick, the ring was on
the end OF it.

TAKING TIME BY THE FETLocK.
Bob Knox Was to Be Hanged Be-

Bob Knox Was to Be Hanged Be-
fore He Could Do Damage.
Everybody in Spokane, says the
Spokesman, knows Major Stout, the
genial young attorney who is as mild
hammered as a fawn and as polite as
a college boy; and yet everybody does
not know that the major was once a
fierce warrior with the vigilantes
when Spokane was baby. It was
when Major Stout first shook the dust
of the east from his trousers and
braved the wild northwest along in
'82. Spokane was then infested with
crowd Of desperadoes, and Bob Knox
was the fercest of the lot He had
had some trouble with James Glover
on account of being ordered out of
town, and rumor reached the Spok an
ties that Bob was up in Westwoods
and had announced his intention Of
coming to Spokane and sending a
streak of lead through Mr.. Glover and
some other good citizens. So vigil
antes were organized, and Major Stout
addressed them.
elf Bob comes" said the major she
would kill one or more good citizens,
and then we would take him out and
hang him up. In my opinion that
would only be a waste of good citizens.
We know what Bob will do. and if we
just meet Bob and string him up before
he kills the citizens they can be on
hand to act as his pall-bearers.
This was Il novel plan. It was d.
gested with the same ease as if it had
been spring chicken. and the plan
was formulated. There was to be
committee to wait for Knox, and when
he entered a saloon to fill up with
oiled lightning he was to be sur
rounded and arrested. That nigh the
church bell was to be rung as signal,
and before the mothers had repeated
the prayers to the children Bob Knox
was to have been floating with the
angels OF course Bob didn't swing.
Some one gave him the tip and he
went through the town on fast
freight and never returned. -. But it
shows what earnest, energetic, and
enterprising citizens Spokane had in
her early days.

MEANING OF "A LOUISIANA FLOOD. I
Devastating Effects of an Overflow OF the
Mississippi.

The heart-rending and tremendously
tragic scenes of a flood in mountain
gorge are wholly lacking in Louisiana
flood. When great ieyee breaks in
our loWlands there is terrible rusk oil
waters at the immediate scene Of the
crevasse. but at a short distance from
the locality the scenes are entirely diff.
y ferent.
The water does not go roaring and
raging through a narrow valley, sweep.
ing everything before it. The yellow
flood pouring through the gap, often
enlarged to the width of miles, simply
spreads over the fiat country, filling the
vast shallow basin that it really pre-.
sents. Day after day the turbid waters
climb up around and into. the dwell
ings, the stables, the stock-yards. the
sugar-houses, the cotton-sheds, and GIN
houses, while the pastures and cultivated
fields are covered. The submersion
goes on until the country is inundated
from four to twelve feet deep over
vast areas. The people retire to their
upper rooms, unless, as is often the
case with the smaller dwellings,, their
habitations are foated away. The
domestic animals encompassed by sea
of waters perish by thousands from
exhaustion or starvation. The muddy
water deposits its silt in the houses and
upon the growing crops, covering
everything in it's reach with a Shiny
mud. The country roads are extin-
guished. the bridges float away, the
railways are disabled, and boats alone
afford a means of communication with
the population beleagured by the inun-
dation.
Many people are drowned under
these unusual circumstances; many
more sicken, and not few die from
the exposure and privations which they
undergo, while the suffering for pro-
visions is often so great that the desti-
tute people over vast areas of SUBJ
merged country are dependent on
charity. The flooded region is often
twenty to fifty miles wide and a hun
dred miles long, and in all those limits
there is scarcely spot of dry ground.
Such state of things may last one or
two months before the waters subside:
and then dry land fit to stand on;much
less to pillow, is slow in making it's APP
pearance.
Such IS a flood in Louisiana. If it
has not the overwhelmingly terrible
and instantaneous cataclysmic features
of a Johnstown tragedy, it is suffi-
GENTLY deadly and dreadful. Let it not
be considered lightly.-Neau Orleans
Picayalaae.

Where the Profits Go,

A New York burglar stole dia-

money he got from the fence" who
