JOHNS APPRENTICESHIP.

When he was twenty-five years old, John Bow
ers graduated,
And men Of commonplace ideas pronounced
him educated;
But he took three years for travel TO learn Rus
sian pessimism,
To study old italian art, and German mystic
ism
Then came a hard postgraduate course which
took him three years longeri
Then, though his health was very poor, his In
tcllect was stronger.
His physical condition now approached enact
alton,
The doctor ordered two years rest Tor his re
cuperation.
He studied law-it took three years its myster
les TO unravel
And then to study foreign law three more long
years for travel,
When he returned his big mustache with long
gray hairs was threaded.
He'd lost his eyesight long before ana now was
quite bald-headed-
When he was thirty-nine years old our intel
lectual giant
Hung out Eis legal single, and then waited for
his client.
The girl he loved in youthful days had long
since wed another,
And had grown portly matron and an excel
lent grandmother.
The boys he knew in grammar school seemed
ancient as progenitors,
And one was governor OF the state, and TWO OF
them were senators,
But he sat in his ONCE, In retired sequestra-
tion,
And waited long for clients with their tales OF
litigation.
One day when he was forty-hve, came in his
earliest client.
John tried to be as quiet as the poetry OF Bry-
ant,
But the shock it came so sudden, with such
overwhelming power,
hat he fell with apoplexy, and he died within
an hour.

The other day crowd of men and
boys gathered on a street corner in
Lewiston, Me. One man pulled silver
watch from his pocket that was worth
about thirty-five dollars. From another
pocket, reports the local paper, he fished
up a dozen matches. cpl give this
watch" he said, ito whoever will hcl a
match in his thumb and finger, blaze
down, till it burns up completely" One
fellow tried it and dropped the match
when it began to burn. Another and
still another did the same. Then came
one who was out of work and had a
wife and little babies at home. He took
the match and held it till it was charred
between the thumb and finger and the
nails on the thumb and finger were
badly burned. ''Why did you do that
for a watch?" asked some one. 80,

than seeing ones little children starve,"
he answered, as he walked away with

DRIVING IN LONDON.
Where They Keep to the Left Instead OF
the Right.

Where They Keep to the Left Instead of
tho Right.
England Is the only place know of
where they drive to the left. English
drivers say that by sitting on the right
and driving to the left they can better
watch the hubs Of approaching vehicles,
and thus prevent collisions. 1 don't ex-
actly understand this, says writer in
the Home Journal, but it is the explain
alton they give for driving to the left.
Ouick-going vehicles will turn cor
ner sharply, but the driver raises his
whip to notify the vehicle in his imme-
date rear that he is about to turn.
"Cabbies'' are more considerate con-
corning fe1low-drivers than they are
thoughtful about the lives and limbs of
pedestrians. All their attention is given
to the roadway; pedestrians must look
ont for themselves or be run over. That
is why so many of the London police
are engaged solely in attending to
street traffic. Yet, with all their vigi-
lance, more accidents occur in London,
proportionately than elsewhere. Lon
don drivers are polite and very civil to
each other. If an obstruction appears
in front of horse, Or if for any reason
he is obliged to suddenly slow up, the
driver will Immediately notify the
driver in the rear by holding out hori-
zontally his left arm, and this sign is
passed down from one driver to another
until the very end of the line of blocked
vehicles is reached.

rolled from her back. For q few sec
onds he could not see and his limbs
trembled so that he could not walk.
He knew what sight would meet him.
All at once he steadied up and the dim
ness left his eyes; he braced himself to
meet the worst. A few steps from him
lay the body of his little boy Georgia,
the one that was to bring him his lunch
and drink at noon. He bent over and
tenderly kissed the little dead face.
'"Two MORE" he whispered to himself;
''two more; where are they?" They
were not far away-the little girl,
three years old, with long brown hair.
and the wife-dead, and the scalping
knife had done its work. He did not
cry; he did not even groan, but the
look of life had gone out of his face.
Side by side he laid the three, around
whom all his hopes, all his ambitions,
his love, was conferred, now gone from
him in a moment it seemed Silently
he gazed at them for a time and then
turned away. His must be the hand to
fashion their last resting place. AS he
turned away to look about again he
heard light whinny come from the
cattle yard and he walked that way.
There stood Fan over the body of her
colt whinnying pitifully and nudging it
with her nose to induce it to get up.
''Your baby, too, hey, Fan. Poor
Fan! poor me!'
He staid by his dead all day and all
night; then he laid them gently in the
grave he made them, pressing a last
kiss upon the unresponsive lips of each.
His task finished, he mounted Fan, and
drawing rein beside the mounds for a
last look, raised his hand toward
heaven and took oath: ''I swear before
God, beside the graves of my dead,
that so long as have life shall hunt
Apaches. They have robbed me of all,
and my hate shall never be satisfied"
A couple of officers were enjoying
their after-dinner smoke sitting in
chairs tilted back against the shady
side of the quartermaster's building.
"Say, captain, have you noticed any
thing strange about these Apaches
since we brought them back to the res
ervation?"
Nothing special that can think Of.
They're a grisly lot anyway. Why do
you ask?'
Because I've noticed now that they
| keep close to headquarters and don't
| go out in bands of two or three; and
again, they're holding lots of pow
vows, and every day or so'they bring in
dead buck
''Oh, have you just found that out?
Why, that's old to everybody but the
reds, and with them it isn't allowed to
get old. Ever since the Sandy Fork
raid, that the Apaches made, they have

The Delusion Under Which Col. Colquitt
Devoured Fruit Cake.
The Washington correspondent of the
st. Louis Republic is responsible for
this story, which he credits to Col. John
B. Cary, of Richmond, and says it was
told in the rooms of the southern society
at New York recently:
"Now, you must understand" Col.
Cary began, "what 'cracklings' are to
appreciate this story. 'Cracklings' are
small brown particles Of pork left over
from that part of the hog used in maxi
ing lard. In the south 'cracklings' are
mixed with meal in making. cornbread,
and the mixture very closely resembles
raisin bread. Now, to get down to my
story. 1t was just after the fall OF
Richmond, and was making my way
home as best could, when suddenly
ran right up against Col. Colquitt, OF
Georgia. Now, 1 knew Col. Colquitt
pretty well, and, as he looked half
starved, 1 invited him to share the hos
pitality of my home for a few days.
We reached home at dinner time. 1
had not been home before for two years,
and, of course, the fatted calf was
killed. For dinner we had salt pork
and potatoes in profusion, and Colquitt
said never word. He had tasted for
probably week and he just 'waded In.
'tFinally my mother brought up some
pound cake and a fruit cake which 1
knew she had been saving for eighteen
months. When she passed the fruit
cake to Colquitt he stood not upon GER
emory, but helped himself. He ate one
slice, two, three, four, five, six, and
mother fairly wept when he made a
motion to take the seventh. She
courteously arose at this point and said:
Colonel, perhaps you would prefer
some pound cake Colquitt looked at
the rich pound cake moment, and then
replied in his most gallant manner: No,
| thankee, madam; have lived on corn
bread, and little of that, SO long that
''crackling" bread is as much Of a luxu-
~ as care for Colquitt had actually
eaten half Of that fruit cake under the
impression that 1t was 'cr ackling' bread.

the top of the roll before going from
sight, he called back to his wife: MARY,
let George come to me at noon with
lunch and fresh drink of buttermilk.
It's so far that don't think I'll come
up for dinner, Give the little collie
drink and some grass, too"
His wife called back: "All right,
dear" and waved her apron. He turned
to his team and started them on. AS
he said get up" the near side animal,
whose little collie was left behind in
the rough corral, turned her head, and,
looking back, whinnied long and loud
Come, come, Fan, go on; what's the
matter with you? My babies are back
there, too, and they will see that your
baby doesn't get hungry or thirsty.
Come, go along, old girl; we must go
and work for our babies"
The team started, and chatting cheer
fully to them for company's sake, they
went on to their work.
The sun climbed higher, and furrow
after furrow was turned John kept
the team going steadily, but Fan was
FESTIVE and would throw her head up
and look around and then throw her
self into the collar and forge ahead as
though suddenly anxious to get the
work finished.
"What does all you, Fan? you seem
daft" said John, finally; "does your
harness hurt you, old girl?" And then
he went over the harness, carefully ex-
aiming each strap and piece where it
touched her sleek coat. ''Old girl, your
harness is all right, and you are just
fussing for nothing. Now, if you don't
go steady you'll get whipped" He
went back between the handles of the
pillow, and Fan threw her nose up over
her mates neck, looking in the direc-
ton of the house and whinnied so shrill
and mournful that John Involuntary
looked in the same direction. He
started. Were his eyes deceiving him!
Was that thin column of smoke rising
in the clear air from over the roll of
the prairie? His heart almost stopped
| beating. It is smoked Fast as his fin
gers could move he undid the harness
fastenings from the team, threw the
harness to the ground, released one
horse and sprang upon Fans back. She
needed no urging or directing, but

A Moscow Mechanic Who Ferreted Out
Nihilist Plots.
Michael LEM was, a few years ago,
one OF the most famous of the Russian
political detectives. He was, says the
Albany Press, merchant III Moscow in
1877, and was engaged as special con-
stable when the Emperor Alexander
visited that city to witness the opening
of the Alexander hospital. LEM heard,
or claimed to have heard, a conversation
between two women indicating the ex-
istence of plot against the czar. He
hurried with his information to the pre-
feet of police, and the two women were
tracked and taken into custody.
One of them proved to be a valuable
prisoner, although there was nothing of
q dangerous character found in their
possession when arrested. LEM was fire.
quently called upon for service in trac-
ing alleged conspiracies, and did his
work so satisfactorily that he was en-
gagged as regular employee, and grad
ually promoted to be chief of the detec-
tives of the secret police.
To LEM was due the detection of So
phia Grunsburg, the young woman put
to death a few months ago for being en-
gagged in a nihilist plot. He is said to
have no scruples in his methods, and in
one case, that of Maria Spiranti, he
courted the woman a full year as a
lover, and at length pretended to go
through the marriage ceremony in order
to win her confidence.
He got her confidence and also a batch
of nih1list revelations that undoubtedly
placed in the hands of the Russian po-
lice the key to the whole system of
nihilism in Russia and abroad as it ex-
listed two years ago.

TREvEs, Aug. 21.-The public exhibit

A great multitude was In attendance

had q nemesis after them. Who it is or
how many no one knows, but If a buck
gets away from the crowd it's ten to
one he doesn't come back, and when
they start out to find him, which they
usually do, he has become good In
dian; and from the way in which
they're being picked off the whole
band will be wiped out by and by"
Just then a tall, gray-haired man,
dressed as a scout, came past and
changed the current of their converse
tion.
'Who is that chap" asked the lieu
tenant of his brother officer, scanning
the scout closely.
81 don't know" was the reply; che
comes to the post once in awhile; gets
a lot of stuff, mostly ammunition; never
stays or stops to talk; always rides that
same big mare
The stranger dismounted at the door
of the store and entered. He had
scarcely passed out of sight when an
Indian sneaked up cautiously and be-
gan to examine che horse, paying par
ticular attention to her feet and her
tracks.
What do you suppose that bucks up
to?" queried the captain.
Hes getting points so that he can
trail the animal" was the reply.
"Look outl By gracious, that was
neat"
This exclamation was called forth by
the action of the horse The Indian in
his Investigations, stopped and picked
up her foot, presumably to examine
the shoe. There was a quick move, a
thud, and an Indian rolled over on the
grass with a crushed skull. The ami
NAL stood as quiet as before. Two or
three white men ran up and the owner
of the horse came out of the store.
When he saw the dead brave a smile
lighted up his set face as he patted his
horses neck. Another one, Ell? Fan,
that's right; keep up the work, old
girl. One more scratch on the rife
breech makes a hundred and eighty
| one" AS the horse and rider passed
out of sight the lieutenant asked:
''What was it he muttered to the
horse?"
81 did not exactly catch it," replied
the captain. 81 think it was some
thing about hundred and eighty-one,
and from the way that old chap bright
ened up when he saw that dead buck
leads me to believe that he knows more
about who is knocking off the stray
Apaches than he's telling. Edwin
