"Mustang Toms" Life in a Wagon.

There is hardly more curious charac-
ter in all this big city full of queer peo-
pie than is Mustang Tom," who makes
New York his home for about one week
every three years.
Tom Stewart was born in Pennsylva-
mia ''nigh onto sixty-four years ago." as
he phrases it. He has crossed the plains
three times each way, and has never rid
den ON boat or car. His first trip west
ward was in 1S49, the next ten years
later, and he has just completed the
third, reaching San Francisco the other
day. Mustang Tom" as he is called,
left New York city to begin his last jour
ney eighteen months ago. His outfit
consisted of wagon drawn by pair of
small, brown mules, and large enough to
hold Tom, his water spaniel Boston, a
sils and blankets. He shaped his course
southwest, visited friends in Missouri,
passed through Salt Lake City, halted
awhile at Tombstone, Ariz. struck north
to Idaho, went through Montana, East
ern Oregon and Northern California,
drifted down to Nevada, and then made
for San Francisco. His first night in the
city was passed at cheap lodging house.
He had not slept in bed before for fif-
teen years, and announced on rising
that he "didn't want no more of it."
Two days in the California metropolis
satisfied him, and the morning of the
third he hitched up his mules and start
ed for Arizona. York Press.

This Hand Never Struck Me.

We recently heard the following
touching incident: A little boy had
died. His body was laid out in dark
ened room, waiting to be laid away in a
cold, lone grave. His afflicted mother
and bereaved sister went in to look at the
sweet face of the precious sleeper, for his
face was beautiful even in death. As
they stood gazing on the face of one SO
beloved and cherished, the little girl
asked to shake his hand. The mother at
first did not think it best, but the child
repeated the request and seemed very
anxious about it. She took the cold,
bloodless hand of her sleepless boy, and
placed it in the hand of his weeping sis
ter. The dear child looked at it a mo-
ment, ,caressed it fondly, and then looked
up to her mother through tears of afflic
tion and love, and said: Mother, this
hand never struck me-" What could be
more touching and lovelyg- United Pres

General Verdy Duvernois, the German
Minister of War and one of the ablest of
the younger Generals of the German
army, is, as his name implies, of French
descent. He is descended from HUI
guenot family expelled from France by
Louis XIV.'s revocation of the edict of
Nantes. 1t is striking example Of the
folly of religious aud political proscrip-
tions, remarks tht Chicago Herald, that
the descendant of one of the French
exiles should be the man destined to pre-
pare the plans for the next German in
vasion of France. 1t is also singular
that two of the foremost men in the
German army o-day should be of foreign
birth. Won Caprivi comes of an Italian
family.

The Champion Tramp.

The champion tramp would seem to
be one Folkers. He belongs to Portland,
Maine, and is shoemaker by trade. For
ten years he has been roaming the coun-
try, and he declares that not once dur
ing this time has he paid a railroad fare,
though on all his trips he patronizes the
''iron horse" He says he has craze
for travelling, which seems very evident
from his statement that he rides about
20. 900 miles per year. Altogether he
has travelled 10000 miles. .-SanFran-

Organized Beggars.

A society in Paris, organized to pre-
vent the trade in children by professional
beggars, has made its first report in
which it gives the names and addresses
Of several establishments which employ
children as flower girls and as beggars.
One of these employs 100 girls from eight
to eleven years old to sell flowers on the
streets. They are required to bring in a
profit of sixty cents each or receive

Some strange judicial proceedings are
reported from Queensland, Australia.
The presiding judge was in hurry to
get away, and tried cases continuously
for thirtysix hours. At one stage all the
available jurors were occupied consider
ing verdicts, and, not to lose time, the
judge ordered the doors of the court
room to be locked, and then impounded
every person in the audience qualified to
serve. Many of the jurors were so ex-
hausted by continuous service that they
fell asleep in their seats, but the trials
went on.

The New York Times observes that the
old fashion of working out the road tax
has become mere farce in most rural re-
gions. The only rational plan is to have
highways made and repaired by contract
under the supervision aud after the plans
of competent engineer. The taxes
paid for this purpose will be far more
than repaid to every farmer by the i'm.

THE YELLOW HAMMERS TAP.

When gentle breezes softly play
Ger meadows sweet, in fair-haired May,
And whisper secrets to the pines
In woodlands dense with clamb'ring vines:
When balmy springtime fills the air,
And scatters sweetness everywhere,
Then there comes the ceaseless rap
OF the yeilow-hammer's tap
Tip-tap, tap-tap, tip-tap-tip.

Tipity-tep-tap;
IT is the merry pitter-pattsr
OF the yeiloT'hammer's tap.
When brown wrens peer throughrough -hew,

And oft is heard the drum of quail.
And thickets echo thrush's song,
And swollen brooklet bounds along;
When from the hedge the cat-birtis cry,
And meadow-larks are soaring high,
Then there comes the merry tap"
or the yellow hammers rap
Tip-tap, tip-tap tip-tap-tip,--
Tapity-tip,
Tipity tap-taps
IT is the ceaseless pitter-patter
of the yellow-hammer's tap.
When hazy shadows slowly creep,
And lambkins bleat themselves to sleep;
When from the pastures daised plain
Echoes the cow-belPs sweet refrain
That blends with negro teamsters song.
AS down the road he rides along,
Again is heard the merry tap
OF the yellow-hammer's rap
Tip-tap, tip-tap, tip-tap-tip,-
Tipity-tap,
Tapity-tip.
Tipity-tap-tap;
II is the plantive rat-a-tatter
OF the yellow-hammer's tap.
