The Police Think They Have Party Who

Officer Wolfe arrested an unknown
man yesterday on suspicion. Wolfe has
had letter in his pocket for several
days from Tennessee, asking him to

keep an eye on the man. Flick did so
and was soon joined by Officer Rigney
The man went in o. X Smiths saloon
on Salem avenue and seeing he was fol-
lowing by two policemen, won't out at
tho rear door.
In the meantime Wolfe found his de-
scription, and rushing through the sa-
loon captured the man in the rear yard.
The description suited the man TO n
lcttcr.
"What is your Nance" asked Wolfe,
land whore do you livc?"
Tho man gave some name and said he
was from Richmond. lie was turned
over to Officer Rigney who took him to
the station house. The man was very
obstinate and refused to give his name
He told TINES reporter that he was a
Confederate soldier and served in Pick
ett's Division. His manner indicated
that Of tough. He did nothing but
curse and swear about the police, and
the condition OF the cell.
They have mo in here, they say. for
numbering man in Tennessee. All 1
want is to be tried by a jury Of twelve
men, and If did any wrong am will
ing TO stand the punishment"
Wolfe telegraphed to Tennessee to
find out if the man is wanted, his name
and the nature CT the charge.

How a Little Girl Earned SILK Dress and
Learned Valuable Lesson.
"If you'll learn by the time you are
eighteen to put things in their places
when you put them out of your hands,
You shall have a nice new silk dress"
So said Mrs. Dow to her daughter
Marion. To have a silk dress, a new
silk dress, was the rosy dream of Marion
Dows ambition. 81 am nine years old
now," she said to herself, land in nine
more l shall be eighteen. think in
that time, if try hard, can form the
habit of putting everything in its place"
But, if things are to be put in their
places there must be places for them.
So Marion made special bag, and hung
it in one special place for her knitting
work, which hitherto she had laid down
anywhere where she happened to be.
Now she always knew where her knit
ting could be found; and it was really
easier to take a few steps, indeed quite
a number of steps, to put it in place
than to hunt everywhere, high and low,
when it wasn't in its place, Then she
made place for her workbox, and was,
careful to put her scissors and thimble
and needle book back into the box when
she was done using them Little by
| little she formed the habit. When she
came in from church she put her hat
and gloves in their places, instead of
| laying them on the sofa or bed or some
chair, and when she went out on the
street she didn't have to, wait for them
moment.
As time went on, she noticed where
this article and that, that did not belong
to her, was kept, until, if anyone in the
family was at loss to find what he or
she wanted, Marion would be appealed
to, and she rarely failed to give the de
sired information.
BY the time she was eighteen she had
formed the habit her orderly mother
so much wished she should form. And
she had also grown SO capable in some
ways that she was able to earn the
promised silk herself by teaching. Of
course this dress lasted long, long
time; but Marion rarely looked at it or
wore it but she thought of the morning
her mother had promised it to her, and
the words would come back: "When you
put anything out of your hands, put it
in its place" IN. Y. Advocate.

ards, who fight and win and run away,
will I'm nearly every case return to have
another try. The tables can wait; they
never forget, never forgive While life
is left they still count on recovering
what they have lost.
The story goes that some one com

the tables had lost very large sum TO
a Monsieur Chose. "Whatl is he dead?"
No need for pity while the winner lives.
And yet one player there was who beat
the tables, il an old and pensioned
croupier who lived near Wilhemshoe is
to be believed.
They came and told him that the EN-.
peror Napoleon had been made prisoner
at Sedan. what Napoleon? LOUISE

but he lost much more in another way.

But Boojer never paused till he
reached pond hard by, where the
water was clear and deep. With a
plunge he had buried himself and the
baby beneath the water. Mrs. Lane,
followed by Fred and Lottie, who veri-

Tommy, reached the bank of the pond
just as the dog rose TO the surface with
Tommy held firmly between his teeth.
He then swan to shore and laid the

"Good Boojerl" she cried gratefully, as
she pressed Tommy's drenched, though
breathing form, TO her breast, you
have shown more sense than l might
have done in my intense fright"
Boojer, shaking the water from his
shaggy coat, looked up, as If to say:

A MUSCULAR GENTLEMAN.
How an InsoIent Drummer Got His Just
Deserts.


AS the train approached indianapolis
all the seats in the car were occupied
except two. A lady sat in one and a
man from the west with a big sombrero
occupied the other. He was a fine-loolI-
ing, manly fellow, and was taken by
those around him for lawyer.
When the train stopped at Indianapo-
lis an unattractive drummer got on the
car. He sized up the situation at a
glance. The lady was pretty and that
settled it. Without even asking per-
mission he sat down at her side and at
once commenced to make himself agree
able. She tried to avoid hun and
looked out of the window, but the fell
lows gall was immaculate and he
maintained the one-sided conversation.
The western man was calmly watching
the proceedings and stood it as long as
he could. Going to the lady he said:
"Madam, l see you are annoyed.
Wouldn't you prefer to have my seat?''
so, thank you," she replied, "cer-
tainly," and the big man helped her to
transfer her valise while the passengers
Uttered at the drummer's discomfiture.
The latter was boiling over, but kept
his wrath until the train reached Terre
Haute, and then he demanded salts
faction for the insult. The words were
scarcely out of his mouth before the
western man banged him on the face
and then with his boot kicked him
around as football. "Stand back, -
yelled some of the tickled passengers.
''Kick him harder" they shouted to-
gether, and that drummer finally
snealIed away to escape further punish
ment wiser and sadder man. Every
body wanted to know who the western
man was. He turned out to, be citi
zen of Leavenworth, Kan., where he is
engaged in the general contracting
business. He was much praised for his
ctionas and was cordiallTgreetedb by the
passengers, and shows tae freshness
