NEVER WITHOUT HIS GUN.
A Western Driver Got Chiil When He
Discovered Its Lose.

That reminds me. :" said the colonel
blandly. He is always being ''re-
minded. They were talkin" of mans
dependence upon things which he is
accustomed To use. That reminds
me OF Jack Smilcr Jack was as brave
as IA lion. He drove one of the fast
freight specials from Cheyenne to
Deadwood. 1t was in the first days of
the Black Hills excitement. when they
ran light express wagons out to Chey-
enne on II gallon and never stopped
till they pulled up in Deadwood or un-
til the road agents stopped them.
Jack was born with one emotion
lacking. He was not afraid OF The
widest Indian (and there were enough
OF them in those days. just before the
Custer massacre). or the most daring
and reckless road agent. They did
not call them highwaymen then. He
used to climb into his seat crack his
long whip. and. with wonderful oath.
Jerk the heads of those mules in the
direction of Deadwuoh. and send them
scurrying alon. like frightened rab-
bits. He always wore Il revolver. of
course. the handle forward in his belt.

trips TO "A ranch about thirty-tive miles

to press one hand heavily upon his
shoulder while with the other slipped
the weapon from his belt. Finally |
got it out safely and waited for him to
discover the loss.
We drove along for five or six
miles. when suddenly Jack pulled up
his mules with "A terrible oath.
".Whoar he cried.
What's the trouble. Jack? asked.
He turned To me and looked into
my ewes. He was as white rs "A sheet.

this. Wouldn't have been in II pretty

Blue Stocking.

The term ''blne-stocking" was origin
ally used in Venice about the year
400. to designate literary classes by
colors. In Mills History of Chivalry"
we are told that members of the va
riouS academies were distinguished by
the color of their stockings. blue being
the prevailing color. The application
of the term To women originated with
Miss Hannah More's admirable de-
scription of Il Blue Stocking Cub" in
her .Bas Bleu."

MAKE RESTITUTION.
The managers of the Adams Express Company yes
erday accepted the resignation as manager Of John
Hoey, the deposed president. Mr.. Hoey sent it to
the officers on Friday by messenger II reads briefly
thus:
@Io the President and Managers OF the Adams Ex-
press company------- ,-----.
~Gentlemen: I hereby tender my rcsinotion
manager OF the Adams Express. Yours very
truly, JOHN HOEY."
As soon as the note was received word was sent
BY Telegraph and otherwise to all the managers Of
the Adams Express Company. Yesterday all the re-
replies had been received accepting his resignation, and
q letter formally accepting it was dispatched by the
officers Ct the company to Mr.. Hoey. The resig-
nation was unconditional in its terms and under
standing had been reached by the companys officers
and Mr. Hoey or his friends which provoked this
step on his part His act however, is gratifying to
Tho officers Of the company, it is regarded as an
indication that Mr.. Hoey may decide to accept the
situation and sccede the demands Of the companys
managers q hIn restoration of abe property which
II is charged Mr.. Hoey purloined while manager and
officer
1t was expected that possibly legal proceedings
might lie necessary to eject him as manager, a
place which he insisted upon holding after he had been
discharged as president by the board.
TIE attachments upon the property OF Mr.. Hoey
aid Capp SpOOner, under the order issued by Justice
Patterson, were completed yesterday. There is a
strong probability that a civil order OF arrest may
be taken out against Mr. HOey forcing him to give
bail pending the trial Of the civil suit against him.
Much will depend upon the disposition shown BY him
n the circumstances. The managers Of the Adams
Express Company are not DESTROYS of prosecuting Mr..
Hoey, but they will unhnehingly insist upon his
restoration Of the sums claimed to have been mis-
Appropriated.
The company has sscertained that Mr.. Hoey has q
