He was a muscular countrymGn, and bis
greatest talent lay in the direction of riding
untanned horses. 1t was a Texas pony, full of
the characteristics of that renowned breed,
and standing hstlessly by, awaiting the ar
rival of some one to try his mettle
He found the animal without man daring
enough to mount it, and at once asked for the
job, aying that he had never yet heard Of the
horse that could get away from him.
The owner consent was given Immediately,
and the bold man sprang into the saddle, and
the pony sprang into the air, bounding of
like a rocket, with the man clinging to its
name.
Straight down the street the animal sped,
and probably the man would have main
tanned his reputation had the pony not taken
a sudden notion to turn into a cross street
This idea occurred TO it, and without con-
sulting the rider the pony wheeled into the
side highway, while the rider kept on in the
course they were before the change Of sched-
ule occurred to the pony.

STONING A PROPHET.

NEW YORK. April Sargent Dunn,
New York's weather chief, was much put
out today when told that the New Orleans
board of trade intended toask for his resig-
nation for prophesying the present floods
there. He said:
Il think the New Orleans people are act
ing very foolishly in the face of the present
dangers. No matter what they say, they
viii have their hands full looking after
their city. They may have my head if
they want it, but think they had better

flood would be as disastrous as that at

districts all through the Mississippi valley
from Cairo south to the gulf were flooded.

is no respecter of cities, and | hardly see
why the New Orleans people should take
offence at my prophecy. There are busy
times ahead for the people of New Orleans,
and they should know it"

THE METTMAN MURDER.
A Terrible Theory of the Crime Now
Held.

LFAvENWORTH. Kan, April 1.-The
officers and detectives seem to have more
than idle theory to support their belief
that improper relations have existed be
tween John Mettman and his daughter
and that the discovery on the part Of Mrs.
Mettman that such relations existed led to
her murder Each hour appears TO
strengthen this view of the murder. The
Times SAYS this morning that Il neighbOr
Of the Mettman's and one who has known
them for some time, is responsible for
the statement that when Mrs. Nett
man returned home Sunday night
she discovered her husband and daughter
in compromising prOsitiOn. Mettman,
so the neighbors stated, felled his wife to
the floor and death. ACKNOWLEDGMENT and
mutilation of the body followed.
II is questionable to suppose that rob
berry was the cause of the murder. Rob
EPrS do not as a rule commit theft and
then cut the remains in pieces and place
in bags the different parts of the victim.
That theory. therefore. is well nigh eXplo-
ded. Mettman Is still held in custody.
Little that is new has been developed in
the past three or four days. Mettman is
still i'm Jail and the police say, they have
evidence which tends to fasten the crime
ON him and other members of the family.
There is now talk of arresting the SOD and
daughter and holding them for completely
in the crime The police believe that the
discovery by Mrs. Nettman that her huS-
band and daughter were sustaining inn
proper relations with one another com
PEELED them TO kin her to avoid publicity

WHITING CHIPS.

Chubby hands so brown and small
Weld the blade and scantling,
Chips, like driftlets, fly and fall
Wasteful litter one and all,
In fakes about the bantling.
Seventy springs taeir seed have sown,
Still with knife and shingle
The child, white haired grandsire grown,
His life dream, his memory flown,
Sits whiting by the ingle.
Yet the past held busy years,
Works of wondrous glitter,
But many a loss brought burning tears
And many gain regretful fears,
At best useless litter.
And so methought the hopes and schemes
or many worldly willing,
When all is told, are idle dreams
That lure men on with golden dreams,
Mere chips of mortal whiting.
