No Honor Among Thieves.

"There is talk of honor among
thieves; it's all bosh, as their actions
show" was the sententious remark of
Inspector Bynes the other day. The
official who has had more to do with
the famous and infamous among Grim
mails than any man in America mani
tested no hesitancy In upsetting the old
adage, whose sentiment has done not q
little to throw a glamour over robbers
and their deeds He spoke with de-
liberation, as If he summed up his ex-
perience of years in those few words.
The inspector also said that the maxim
of misrepresentation is the first law OF
nature found nc contradiction as APP
piled to thieves. They stoOp to moth

ment, and betrsy their companions In
crime without the slightest compune-
ton of conscience In many, II not

He Dispersed the Rows.

A party of students in the big Uni
versity down at Delaware, the Ohio
Wesleyan, were out enthusiastically
serenading various members of the
Faculty and other functionaries of the
college the other evening, and in their
triumphant course, for their music swept
everything before it, they stopped in
front of the residence of the College
Librarian, Mr.. Joseph Dickinson, says
the Toledo Blade.
Festooning themselves along the high
board fence which incloses the libra
rian's estate, the dulcet strains of the
tin can and the long, tremulous notes of
the fish horn foated out upon the ambi-
ent atmosphere. The sweet tones of
the bass drum, the raYishing music of
those all-night voices and the grand en-
semble of the whole choir were not long
in bringing the old librarian to his front
porch. His eyes swept in at glance
the row of students draped over his
front fence, and then rolled slowly and
sentimentally up TO the deep sky, be-
spangled with stars, sparkling in Janu-
ary's frost. The old moon, tossing on
its cloud-feeced beds, shed a soft,
sophomore glamor over all the scene.
The soft sentiment of the hour stole
into the old librarians soul and he stood
in silent rapture as one transfxed by
p@on of the angelic hosts. And the
rattle of the tin pan and the hoarse notes
of the fish horn, the walls of the score
of sentimental youths still beat upon
the soft air and shattered it into atmos-
pheric atoms. But there came lull.
The music died away in low, lingering
wall. The air held again the solemn
stiffness. Then the trembling voice of
the deeply affected librarian arose in the
Silly night air and said slowly:
Gentlemen, dislike to disturb you
and interrupt that classic concert, but I
Just had that fence painted to-day"

a WISE MAIDEN AND A FOOLISH ONE
BIZ h. O. DODGE.

There was q Young woman, as have been told,
Who worried for fear she was looking too old.
One day she discovered tiny gray hair
And little wee wrinkle-which ought to be
there.
So all in panic, she FASTENED to try
Hair washes and tonics and tweezers and dye,
She plastered her features with lotions and
cream
dream
Enamels and balms and skin-powder she tried,
All stuffs that @rejuvenate" too, were applied,
But somehow-as happens to all in that case,
She quicker got nd Of her beauty and grace.
Each gaze in the mirror showed plainly the
truth,
Instead of restoring or holding her youth
She made herself older and shortened her days
BY trying those arts that are usless always.
Another young woman, as have been told,
Gave never thought to herself growing old;
Or wrinkles or crows feet that, may be, were
there.
She looked on the merry, bright side Of life,
She didn't seek troubl or worries or strife,
She courte ed the sunshine, she never repined
And always kept busy in body and mind.
Being true to Dame Nature, that ever good
DAME
The truest of friends and protectors became,
And so that Young woman, as have been told,
Lived nigh TO hundred-and never felt old
Now, of these young woInR1-, tbs easy to say
Which chooses the only and happier way
OF keeping the health and the beauty and grace
That going 'gainst Nature 50 soon will ettace.

ALI the Gold in the World.

People as a rule are greatly given to
exaggeration. We hear of armies count
less as the sands of the seashore,"
mountains far above the clouds, sun
fathomable lakes" and so on.
In regard to money, the popular no
ton is wonderfully erroneous, and seems
to be founded on fairy stories, which
speak recklessly of mountains of gold
and silver and rooms full of guineas.
To these people who think that all the
gold in the world if gathered in one
heap, would make a respectable-sized
mountain, it will be surprise to hear
that it would not make a small hill.
1t is quite easy to find the figures
which justify this conclusion. At the
commencement of the Christian era,
there was in the world 1927, ZOO, 900 in
gold. This is an estimated basis on
careful calculations, and must be very
nearly correct. But gold is very soft
and wears away to an astonishing ex-
tent; in consequence, this amount had
diminished to S57, 900, 900 at the time
America was discovered.
Then it began to increase. Peru and
Mexico added to the worlds supply,
California increased it still further, and
finally came Australia and South
Africa With all these sources of sup
ply, the amount of gold increased, un-
til at the present day it is estimated a
Sc, 000, 100000.
Six billions of dollarsl And is not
that a mountain of gold? you ask. No;
nothing like it. Taking gold at S1S an
ounce, which is belew its coin value, 3
cubic inch is worth $40; a cubic foot,
1862, $50; cubic yard, 50, 797, 76O. Thus
the total amount of gold Is about GLIB
cubic yards.
Now, suppose you had room twenty
six feet each way, length, breadth, and
height-that is to say, a cube of twenty
six feet. This cube would contain 651
cubic yards, within a fraction, and In
this room you could put all the gold in
the world
OF course, the gold would have to be
in one solid mass, but even with that
proviso, does it not seem wonderful, and
almost Incredible? Yet it is absolutely
true.
As to silver, that is different affair.
In all the world there is probably q
very respectable hill of silver, but all
the gold, as you have seen, might be
easily stored In an ordinary dwelling.

ssPOOr Mammai0

Not many things in the life Of a BOY
seem more important to him than his
first getting into trousers. 1t is to be
doubted, indeed, if he is likely to find
much OF his after life that will give q
Joy so keen and unmixed; and when
Master Jamie, having reached the ma
ture age of most five, as he put it, was
given his first pair of knickerbockers,
the whole family were naturally called
upon to rejoice with him.
It was after his first transports of de-
light were over, and he was able to
speak of the great event with calmness,
that Jamie came to his mother, and
after parading up and down before her
two or three times, said, in tone of
perfect satisfaction:
40 mamma, pants make me feel so
like somebody! Don't look real
grown up, mamma?"
His mother smilingly told him that
he certainly did, and that she could not
feel that he was her baby any more.
didn't it make you feel grown up.
mamma" Jamie began, when you"
He stopped short. 1t had evidently
come to his mind that his mother had
never known this deep delight which so
filled his soul. He looked at her mo-
ment, an expression of the deepest pity
coming over his face, and then he took
her hand in both of his and laid it
against his cheek.
poor mammal" he said, softly.
%Poor mamma! If you'd been my little
girl, I'd have let you wear pants just
the same as if you'd been boy"

What Women Like in Men.

Women, I think, like manly, not
lady-ike men.
They like honesty of purpose and
consideration.
They like men who believe in women.
They like their opinions to be thought
of some value.
They like a man who can be strong as
lion when trouble comes, and yet, if
one is nervous and tired, can button up
a shoe and do it with an amount of con-
sideration that is q mental and a ply
steal bracer-up.
They like man who can take hold
of the baby. convince it of his power
and getit to sleep after they have been
worrying with it, and walking with it,
until their eyes are tired and they feel
as if they had no brains.
They like man who is interested In
their new dresses, who can give an
opinion on the fit, and who is properly
indignant at any article written against
women.
They like a man who knows their in
nocent weaknesses and cater to them;
who will bring them a box of candy,
IAO AdoI new mdSoAAbSJ VI VIC AaICoS
puzzle sold on the street, that will do
more than its duty in entertaining
everybody for the whole evening.
They like man who is the master of
the situation-that is, who has brains
enough to help a woman to decide what
Is the best thing TO do under the circum-
stances, and who has wit enough to
realize, when one of the fairer sex is
slightly stubborn, that persuasion is
more powerful than all the arguments
In the world.
They like man who likes them-who
doen't scorn their opinions, who be-
ieves in their good taste, who has con-
fdence in their truth, and who, best Of
all, knows that the love promised, is
given him.
That's the sort of a man q woman
likes, and her very sigh Of satisfaction,
as his virtues are mentioned, is q little
prayer that saws: God bless him" -

wonder why Mr.. Richfellow doesn't
come to see our daughter any more.
Mr.. De Pride-I don't know. The
last time he was here he borrowed my
clock-work photograph to have some
music played into it. He brought it
back to my Office the next morning,
saying that the musician was sick or
something, and that's the last I've seen
of him."

II Was a Bloody FIGHT.

A few days ago the Winnipeg Free
Press, gave an account of the discovery
of skeletons and Indians carts in the
Northwest, near the boundary. II.
Fegraus, q member of the Royal Geo
graphical Society of Stockholm, the
gentleman who made the find, furnishes
additional particulars respecting the
matter. He states that the skeletons
and carts were found on the north slope
OF the Souris coteau. Three carts were
were drawn up In o slough, evidently
for the purpose of defense, and the at
lacking party had their position on the
hilk Immediately above, but moved
afterward a little to the east, toward
which position the defenders were ex-
posed. Mr.. Fegraus counted 200 car
t1idge shells at the position held by
the aggressors, so it may be assumed
that the struggle was long and severe
one. Besides three complete skeletons
in the slough, there were many other
human bones scattered about, and the
remains of six horses, numerous uten-
sis, all riddled with bullets, and sew
eral axes were also strewn about the
spot. Judging from the appearance of
the place, the outfit had not been plum
dered after the fight, which led Mr..
Fegraus to believe that the attacking
party was composed of white men, as
Indians would not have killed the horses
and would have looted the camp of
their victims. The carts were almost
honey-combed with bullet-holes. They
stood at the foot of the slough bank as
they had been left on the fatal day of
the fight. Mr.. Fegraus found, among
other things, several stone pipes, some
of them half filed with tobacco; but
the most interesting and probably the
most important find, as it may tell the
history of the fight, was small board
about foot long and three inches and
half inches wide, on which were
carved over thirty Indian hieroglyphics,
Indians, buffaloes, and horses being the
principal objects delineated. Accord
ing to this Indian letter, the party was
out hunting and had made great deal
of pemmican, when they met party of
unfriendly Indians and had fight, in
which seven were killed. The Stat had
been burned almost in two by prairie
fire. and the destroyed part somewhat
interrupts the thread of the story. The
little band of hunters were exterminated
and the bodies left to rot where they
fell.-BOStO9l Herald

A War Relic.

General 81. V. Boynton has section
of tree standing up in corner of his
office in Washington. 1t is about eight
feet in length and about ten inches in
diameter. None of his 1ares and PEN
ates are considered so valual Ie as this
trunk of tree. The General
brought it from the battle field of
Chickamauga. 1t was in the line of
march. on the very hillside over which
the brigade of the Army of the Cumber-
land: in which General Boynton served
charged upon the columns of General
Bragg. This tree-trunk. although only
eight feet in length, contains seventeen
grape shots. and the iron hail is deeply
imbedded in the bark. It shows quite
plainly how hell-like was the groune
over which the brave boys in Boynton's
brigade charged upon the enemy. Elbow
We ever got through there without all
being killed is mystery to me-" says
General Boynton. ''Those iron balls
thinned our ranks rapidly, but. some
how. we got between the shot, some of
US, and carried things before us with a
hurrah. By the way, even to some old
soldiers who have seen hard service, it
is to-day source of wonderment that
any body of men could be found to
cheer and hurrah at such a time; out
they did"

THE COMMITTEES.
Ghey Were Made Up to Please Wall Street
and the East.

Tney Were Made Up to Please Wall Street
and the East.
The first glance at the list of commit
tees appointed by Speaker Reed would
impress one with the belief that he had
been exceedingly generous in the dis
tribution of committeeman, and that he
had made studied effort to avoid the
appearance of sectionalism. This i'm
preston, however, will not last when
the committee list is gone through care
fully. It is true that Mr.. Reed was ex-
ceptionally magnanimous in his treat
ment Of his opponents, and with that
political sagacity for which he has al
ways been noted, has healed up a good
many rsere places. But it will be OBJ
served that in doing this Speaker Reed
has been extremely careful to protect
Eastern interests. and has only made
concessions to the West in matters
where the interests of the East could
not be affected. The two Important
committees of Congress are the ways and
means and the appropriation commit
tees. These were carefully constructed
in advance of all the others, and so con-
structed that monopolies would be fos-
tered. It made but little difference to
the country at large, or even to sny par
tcular section of the country, about
the other committees, with the possible
exception of the committee on banking
and currency and the committee on riv-
ers and harbors. The former is made up
in the interest of Wall street, while the
latter is constructed with a view of
being subordinated to the requirements
