Man.
Thirty years ago he was deputy
marshal in Nevada says the Anaconda
Standard of a local celebrity. He started
out one day to arrest gambler who
had killed man over GAM of cards.
The gambler knew that the marshal
was seeking him, but with cool effront.
cry, walked about the streets ill day.
Jchn-that is the deputy marshal

well-known bar-room. He set out for
the place, and carelessly walked boldly
into the room. He had not crossed the
threshold when he found himself look.

Come, Hardy" he said, cody, this
won't do. I've come to get you, and /
want you"
''See here, john" said the gambler.
81 don't want to kill you, but l won't
let any man arrest me. Go away and let
me alone"

quietly. "Put down the sir shooter and
come with me-"
I'll see you shot first" said Hardy.
81 can't help that" said the other. 81
must have you. Now, you have the
drop on me, but you must come with me
or kill me in cold blood"
81 don't want to kill you," said Hardy.
"Then put down your gun"
John, l won't be arrested. Don't
touch me. don't want to shoot man
without cause"
i've got to do it, Hardy"
"See here" said the gambler, turning
white, "if you move foot I'll kill you.
But hate to be a coward. That was
fair and square last night. We both
pulled together"
The marshal shook his head.
"Ill do one thing, john" Hardy went
on. 'Tll back up to that wall You'll
back up to the other, I'll draw my re-.
volver to my hip and you can draw
yours. Then it's the best man"
The marshal moved backward to the
wall, and Hardy did the same. Then
the marshal drew his revolver and held
it at his side, muzzle down. All this
time Hardy had kept his weapon lev
eled at the marshal. Slowly his arm
sunk until the weapon touched the seam
of his trousers.
Both men were perfectly calm and i'm.
movable, the marshal determined-look-
ing, the gambler still pale.
"Now, John" said Hardy Instantly
both weapons went up. 1t was all over
SO quickly that both men went to the
floor together But Hardy had fired toe
soon. His ball went at an upward an
gla, and grazed the marshal's temple.
But the marshal had sent his bullet
straight into Hardy's heart, and there
was no need to arrest the gambler. -

SEAFARlNG CITIES.
Carthage and Venice in the South and
Lubbock In the North.

Carthage and Venice in the South and
Lubbock in the North.
The life by sea was the very life Of
Carthage, When the Romans before tho
last siege made it condition of peace
that Carthage should be forsaken and
some point ten miles from the sea &C.
cupied instead, every Carthaginian felt
it as sentence of death. Athens could
not be great without her feet; but she
could live without it. She had for
moment scattered dominion somewhat
of the same kind as the dominion OF
Carthage; but it was only for moment.
No other city of old Greece, no other
city Of her own Phnnician stock, comes
near enough to her to admit even of con-
trast. The medieval world supplies
nearer parallels. Among cities of our
own race, as we are tempted to call
Bern the Teutonic Rome, SO are we
tempted to call Lubbock the Teutonio
Carthage. But neither Lubbock nor any
of her Hanseatic sisters fully repro
duce the old Ph9nican model. They
are mighty on the sea, mighty for trade,
mighty for warfare; but their special
character was to be mighty in both
ways, to strike terror and to bear rule,
without forming any thing which could
be called territorial dominion. Far
nearer to Carthage are the later seafar-
ing cities of her own Mediterranean
waters, Genoa in some measure, Venice
in higher. Venice indeed is the near.
est reproduction of Carthage that the
world has seen. She too united trade
and dominion; she ruled from her is
lands, as Carthage ruled from her PENN
sula, over possessions scattered far and
wide, fortresses, cities, islands, king.
doms, over all which she exercised lord
ship, but none of whom did she or could
she incorporate into her own common.
wealth. More perfect in her position
than Carthage, she never paid rent for
the soil of her Rialto as Carthage did
for the soil of her Bozrah. But the two
ruling cities agree in this, that domin'
ion on the adjoining or neighboring
mainland was the latest form of domin,
ion for which they sought.-E. A. Free

Score Better Than Dozen.

Any person who will be at the trouble
of little observation, can hardly fail
of being surprised at the amount of de-
lay, and often the positive inconven-
fence, arising from the adherence to
the use of the dozen and the half-dozen
in small transactions, as though people
were restrained by high and occult rea-
sons from buying four, five, eight or
ten of any thing. Plainly, therefore,
the dozen should have taken its depart
ure long ago with the old shilling-and-
pence system of which it was con-
stituent part, and of which at present 1t
is only a relic. Now, a proper unit of
count is convenience in some kinds of
retail trade; and, fortunately, we have
such unit in the score of twenty, a
measure which is as old as the English
language. The score possesses, for us
Americans, certain obvious advantages
over the dozen, for easy reckoning, be-
cause, like the dollar, it has a half, a
quarter, fifth and tenth, in whole
numbers.-Boston Transcript.

THE MONKEY DRUMMER.
An African Story Accredited to Emf,
Pasha.

All African SCOry Accredited to Emin
Pasha.
Emin Pasha, the story of whose res
cue from Central Africa is well known
to the world, is an enthusiastic student
OF natural history, and had made col
lection at his headquarters on the Up
per Nile, which he was compelled to
abandon.
One of the objects of his interest in
the equatorial province was species
of chimpanzee, and Mr.. Stanley tells
some remarkable stories regarding
Emin's observations.
According to Stanley's account the
equatorial chimpanzee is not greatly
the inferior in intelligence of some of
the human beings found there.
The forest of Msongwa is infested bv
tribe of chimpanzees Of great stature,
who make almost nightly raids on the
villages and little plantations of the
Mswa natives, carrying away their
bananas and other fruits There is
nothing very remarkable about this
fact, since many kinds of animals make
pillaging forays upon the habitations of
men; but the surprising part of Emin's
narrative is the statement that in these
thieving raids the chimpanzees make
use of lighted torches to hunt out the
fruit.
''lf | had not myself been a witness
of this spectacle" Mr.. Stanley reports
Emin as saying, nothing would ever
have made me believe that any race of
monkeys possessed the art of making
fire."
On one occasion, Emin says, a Chin
panzee of this intelligent tribe stole n
drum from the huts of his Egyptian
troops and made off with it, beating 1t
as he ran.
The monkey took the drum to the
headquarters of his own people" who
were evidently much charmed with it,
for the Egyptian soldiers often heard
the monkeys beating it vigorously but
irregularly. Sometimes in the middle
of the night some sleepless chimpanzee
would get up and go to beating the
drum.
just what the other chimpanzees
thought of this midnight musical per.
Torrance will never be known posi-
lively. But from the fact that nc
sound of battle and slaughter among
the intelligent chimpanzees ever fol
lowed, the Egyptians were forced to
conclude that they liked tn. Y. Sun.

REGARDING ROPE.
How 1t Is Manufactured and How IL Wears
Out.


Out.
1t is stated that the reason why it IL
necessary to take out the turns" in
new rope, and that it is UNFINISHED when
first put to work, is that in making
ropes, the fibers are first spun into yarn,
this yarn being twisted in a direction
called right hand. From twenty to one
hundred of these yarns are then put TO-
gether and twisted in an opposite direc.
ton, or left handed. This forms a sim
gle strand of rope; from three to four Of
these strands are again twisted to-
gether, and it will be noticed that as this
twisting is again in the right hand di.
rection, it untwists the strands and
again twists up the yarn. When
weight is placed upon one end of the
rope, it's tendency is to untwist and be.
come longer and the untwisting will
continue until the strain of the TN.
twisted strand just equals the strain Of
the yarn eing twisted together.
If it were possible, in making rope,
ITO put in just enough twist so that these
strains should balance each other, then
there would be no necessity for taking
out the turns when new rope is put t.
work. The greater the twist the harder
the rope, and to the contrary, a rope
with little twist is much softer and
stronger. The reason for this is easily
seen, as in a tightly twisted rope the
strain does not come as near in the
direction of the length of the rope; that
is, the fibers lie at greater angle to
the axis of the rope, and weight upon
the rope forms breaking instead OF
stretching strain.
Ropes sometimes wear out internally
while apparently sound outside. This
is caused by bending the rope over a
sheave. In doing this the fibers slide q
small distance upon each other and
eventually wear out. In the best ropes
this wearing out is prevented by lubri
eating the strand with piumbago, mixed
with small quantity of tallow, just
sufficient to hold it in place.
In designing pulleys, they should not
be made less than forty diameters of the
rope; this is the limit of economical
wear and they may be made as much
larger as practicable. The speed OF
ropes may vary from $500 to 5000 feet
per minute. If five feet be taken as a
minimum diameter of a pulley for a
rope one and half inches in diameter
and running $500 feet per minute, the
pulley should increase one foot in d.
ameter for each 1000 added revolutions
per minute.-Journal of Commerce.

OVERREACHED HIMSELF.
An Old Hunter Who Was a Little Too
Graspine.

Ni"'pihB'
John Davis was famous turkey.
hunter in Southern Ohio a few years
ago. He caught hundreds of the birds
every year, and was said to be possessed
of quite handsome property accumu-
lated in this way. One of his favorite
methods of capturing his game was by
what he called "spring trap" This
was small Lighthouse, with a big door
which shut with spring, managed by
the hunter.
A trail of corn was laid from the door
for a quarter of a mile into the bushes.
The unsuspecting turkeys would follow
this track of corn, and march inside,
when presto! the door closed with a
snap, and they were caught.
One day Mr.. Davis was attending the
door of this spring trap, when, to his
delight he saw twenty fine, large tur-
keys approaching. They came up to
the entrance. The first one ventured
in, then the second and the third, and
so on until nineteen were in the log
house. The twentieth bird fingered,
and Mr.. Davis waited, 10th to close the
door without him.
He was sure of nineteen, but the last
one was a fine fellow, and he couldn't
bear the thought of losing him.
While he waited, one of the turkeys
inside stuck its head out of the door,
and then hoped out.
Hell go back in a minute, an the
other one with him." thought the hunt
err; but instead of that, a second one
came out, and while the hunter waited
for them to go inside another came
through the door. 1t would certainly
be too bad to spring the trap now, and
so Davis waited-and every turkey but
one came out
oval, I'll make sure O him" said the
hunter to himself, and he sprung the
door.
"That's bout as silly performance S
Use ever guilty of-losin' them eighteen
turkeys" said the old man, in telling
the story afterward. That's the time

WAsHINGToNs EMOTION.
why He Told Light Horse Harry to Call
Him George.

There is an unpublished story of
George Washington that deserves to see
the light, and although Mr.. Worthing-
ton Chauncey Ford, the editor of Wash
ington's writings, has seen fit to sup
press it, it is nevertheless authenticated
by unimpeachable testimony, for the
writer got it from physician in New
Orleans, who had heard it from "a de-
scendant of revolutionary soldier who
was present on the occasion in question.
Lighthouse Harry Lee, according to
this account, invented gun which
worked on pivot and gave most MUIR
derous fire when it was properly manip-
ulated. During a certain skirmish Gen.
eral Lee was working his gun against
the British with startling reiults, for
the British were hemmed in in very
tight place. When the action was at its
height General Washington rode up. He
saw that the British were being
beaten, and observed that when
ever General Lee gave swing
to his gun whole line OF the enemy
fell. He sat on his charger pensively
for while, carefully putting down in
his notebook the number that each dis
charge of Lees wonderful gun laid low
When there were only few left he rode
up to his friend.
General Lee" said he, ''your gun
strikes me as murderous in its fire. |
must beg that you suspend its use until
l have communicated its invention to
the Continental Congress"
Hold on, General" said Lee, 'just
one more fret"
And giving the gun an extra long
swing he fred and destroyed all that re-
NAMED of the opposing redcoats. Then
Washington, leaping impetuously from
his horse and giving vent to one of those
uncomfortable fits of emotion that he
was sometimes subject to, clasped the
hand of Lee in both of his, and drawing
him to his bosom exclaimed in broker
voice:
Don't call me General; call me
George!'-N. Y. Times.

CAPOTES AND TURBANS.
Material and Styles in Cloaks and Head
Gear for Winter Wear,


Cloth and velvet are rival fabrics for
the full crowns of the most elegant ca
potes and turbans prepared for winter.
Cloths in light colors are very effective
when edged with dark fur or feather
bands, or when dotted with chenille or
richly embroidered. Capotes are slight
ly larger than those of last season, the
crowns curve more in the middle, folds
are long and unbroken, and the trim
mings are higher. The strings start
from the back and are Tapped in front,
to be fastened by fanciful pins. Wider
velvet ribbons are used for strings by
those to whom they are becoming. A
coral red cloth capote, edged with a
band of black ostrich feathers, can be
worn either by blonde or brunette, as
only black shows in front, in the feath-
er edging in high loops, of velvet rib
bon, and in the large jet pins thrust in
the folds of cloth. A pretty scheme of
color in another capote is light celadon
green cloth for the crown, with dark
seal-skin binding the edge, and two
miniature seal heads set in the green
folds in front. The strings are of seal
brown velvet.
Black velvet bonnets, toques and tur-
bans are again worn with colored
dresses, serving often to furnish the
only note of black in the toilet For
elderly ladies there are graceful capotes
of black velvet edged with band of
ostrich feathers set becomingly next
the gray hair, heightened in front by
wing shaped pieces of velvet lined with
bright satin, old rose, mauve or auber-
CINE, and finished with wide strings of
velvet ribbon. Younger women wear
the Russian turban, with full soft crown
of black velvet gathered in oval shape
to a band of Persian lamb fur, and
trimmed high at the back with large
bunch of black ostrich tips. A similar
turban has the velvet dropping in full
folds over visorlike front of the close
ly curled black fur with single demi-
long plume curled along the left side
For young ladies are low toques Of
black velvet laid in easy folds along
the crown, with pipped edges and trim
med with torsade of Solferino velvet
along the middle and on either side.-

DIAMOND STEALING.
How the Precious Stones Are Stolen wit
the Tongue.


the Tongue.
"Damping a diamond" is the peculiar
name for process in robbery which
thieves some times adopt. 1t is popular
when some rascal is without partners
and obliged to work alone. BY reason
of the timo the thief is to remain in
the presence of his victim and the chance
thus given to become acquainted with
his looks, the rogue usually assumes
some disguise.
This will be by DOMINIC a gray wig,
bring his eyes to state of weak and
watery Inflammation with cinnamon or
pepper, and the assumption of large
pair of goggles in consequence. In ad-
dition he will pull on boot with a six
inch cork sole, grasp a cane, bend his
back totter when he walks and have all
the indicia of a crippled old man, In
this guise he will drive up to some
downtown jewelers.. On entering the
store his wants are found to be an unset
diamond, or perhaps a pair of them.
They must compare with one which he
has with him, as they are intended to be
| disposed OF in a set as present to his
well-beloved daughter
The diamond the thief exposes is fair
and large-as large as he can get He
insists on making the comparison him
self. He grows irascible, perchance,
and orders the tradesman to bring out
| all his gems while he looks them over.
| To humor one who is so evidently de-
termined to become desirable customer
becomes the purpose of the jewelers.
life. He spreads before the weak optics
of his goggle-eyed inquirer an array of
loose probably on a back
ground of black velvet to demonstrate
and emphasize their brilliancy.
The irritable old diamond hunter Is
obliged to get his nose quite close to
them. His eyes are weak, and so to see
the gems he perforce has almost to bury
his nose in them. While so engaged
and while the jeweler is standing over
them he picks up one, possibly two,
with quick dab of his tongue. This
done, he complains that his eyes are not
equal to the selection and concludes to
bring his daughter. To further delude
the merchant he may arrange to have
that gentleman bring the diamonds to
his house for the lady to look over To
this end he gives him card, naming
some aristocratic residence street Then
he enters his carriage and is driven
away.
If the thief ever gets out with the dia-
monds he has "damped" they are gone;
for while the merchant may miss them
at once, and feel morally certain the old
cripple Is the man, he can not prove it,
One merchant who had lost several dia-
monds to the same man in this manner
at last doctored some gems with a pow
erful drug; so strong, in truth, that the
little which would in nature adhere to
the hard surface of a diamond caused the
operator to choke and gag. He caught
the robber, but such luck is infrequent
