to avoid an upset. Just as the coach
swings into the gully, and the driver is
about to rein the leaders out from the
bank, he hears the sharp command to halt,
and without turning to see he knows that
a shotgun is pointed at his head from be-
hind the tree. The stage driver, being
commonly a man Of sense and good judB-
ment, puts on the brake and stops In

The career OF an ingenious thief has just
been cut short. Near Havana, Ills, a
number of farmers for some time back
have been missing their hogs In n mysteri-

without leaving any trace behind, that it
was suspected they were victims of the

a search and discovered between Havana
and Bath a large quantity Of pork buried

CALAMITY JOHN SHERMAN


Senator Sherman is still in the calamity
business at the old stand He is now
predicting all sorts of calamitous results
should a free coinage bill become a law,
People are BEGINNING to be tolerahly well
used to Sherman's croak on the silver
question. The passage of the Bland act
in 1878 started him off and since that date
he has been in the prophetic calamity
business clear up to the neck. Under
that act the government was required to
purchase not less than S2,OOO,OOO nor
more than 81 900, 600 worth OF silver bull
lion monthly at the market price 1t was
then predicted by Senator Sherman and
other calamity prophets that dire results
would follow when the amount coined
reached $780, Oo, 600 or $40 900. 900 As
these figures were reached the calamity
horizon was enlarged until about $50
900, 900 had been coined under the act
(up to July IA. 1890 1t was SIMPLY re-
markable how the calamity utterly failed
to precipitate itself according to the Sher-
man schedule. But the senator from
Ohio Is equal to the occasion. HIS
prophecies maven come true ont ne again
eniarges the horizon to meet the emer-
geneY' Nov he doesnt think that the

would do any harm but out and out Tree

senator places himself In a rather equi-
vocal attitude According to him. the

one of the largest but also one OF the hand
soonest equinesi in existence. He was for
merly a stallion, and was imported from
France by a Kentucky horse breeder, who
paid 5000 for him. While in the stud the
colossal horse was n veritable fend. He
would bite and kick on the slightest provo
cation, and he soon killed one of his at
tendants.
The scent Of blood seemed to make him
more vicious, and it was not long before he
killed another man. At this juncture he
was changed to a gelding, and his temper
is much improved. He is 5 years old, and
can trot in four minutes.
