The council chamber during a session
is great reviver of old memories. Some

back to the scenes of their former
grotesque gyrations. In fancy they
are again proud misrepresentation
of great and enlightened people. But

Had Aught to do With 1t.
.'Say, Cap, can l stay here to-night!,'.
The speaker was "a correct imitation
of the American tramp" as they say Oh
the variety stage. He had wandered
into the central police station from the
cold alley where the wind was mold
ing the loose snow into bas reliefs on
the new cedar block pavement. He was
just a tramp-nOthing more. His
clothes were as ragged as those OF the
tramp usually are. His shoes were not
one whit better. The same bleared eyes
peered from under the brim of his greasy
SLOUGH hat. Yet he was withal
stalwart fellow. and there was grace
and ease in his Shuffling walk that spoke
the Whilom existence of manhood within
his scurf- incaSed skin. But he was
tramp, and that Sufficed. Lieut.. COSk-
ran did not deem it necessary to QueS-
ton him. His face bore the stamp OF his
condition. Janltor Needham was the
only man who spoke, and he merely
shouted:
"First door on the right. Take your
pick of the beds"
II believe l know that fellow" re-
marked gentleman who had dropped
in to inquire it any one had been brought
in with bear-Skin robe Oh his person,
land if he is the man L believe him to
be, there is quite story connected with
his case.
.'Ten years ago-the fellow is now
only thirty-he was one of the most
promising young men ever knew; that
is, he was so considered by all who
knew him. HIS father was reputed to
be one of the wealthiest men in Steuben
county, New York. He lived in
small town there, but was all extensive
lumberman. He was one of the old
settlers who had made fortune in the
timber of that section, and then fol-
lowed the numbering business to the
West. He was, at the time l speak of,
largely interested in Northern Wiscon-
sin timber lands. This young man was
his youngest son. A brlgl ter boy
never grew up in that town. He pos
advantages that wealth could give him.
And he was not boy to abuse the
| possession of money. While lover
| of the pleasures of life, he was
| not one to contract the vices to
| which the sons of rich men are pecul-
larry subject. He always did well at
school and his friends predicted great
things for him. His father, a strict
Presbyterian. sent him to Princeton.
| There the young man advanced rapidly.
| He was not remarkable for close appli-
cation to study, but he possessed clear
| mind and retentive memory. Dlssipa-
| ton seemed to possess no attractions
| for him: |, who knew him well, never
understood why until later. In all
things he seemed most exemplary
| young man.
"Well. his father died one year after
the boy left college. Then it was dis
| covered that the old gentleman was not
so rich as had been supposed. Reverses
in speculations, which he had kept to
himself, had taken nearly all his fort
une and doubtless contributed not
little to his sudden death. This
young man was thrown upon the
world to make his own way.
But. as l said before. he had
great natural advantages, and had en-
| joyed excellent opportunities. His

many hundreds of cups ranged in rows
upon shelves, some of them with mum.

1t costs barber almost nothing to have
a name put on a customers cup. though
he charges stiff price for the service.
Under glasS-cOvered counters were
great quantities of raZors, strOps and
homes. among other things. There were
also dozens of straps of canvass and
leather. BARRIERS prefer these straps
for sharpening their own raZors, though
an amateur is likely to quickly round
off the keen edge of his steel blade
upon them. For this purpose the best
thing is good strop of calfskin. The
proprietor was asked what the homes
were made of, and the reply, given
with every intention of truth-telling,
was that they were petriried wood. This
is very curious and widely ditfused
popular impression, even among deal
ers. As matter of fact, homes for
razOrs are slabs of very fine sand
stone, mostly obtained from Germany,
which crops out along the margins of
water courses. The light yellow part
has been bleached by exposure, and u.s.
ualiv strip of the harder black STRAIT

The lurid realism of art, as depicted
by show Autographs, seems to be at
tanned in the bills advertising the en-
gagement of ARIZONA Joe" at Pence
opera house this week. One gorgeous
Autograph in particular is something
of curiosity in its picturesque delinea-
ton of a scene representing the in
terror of a dance hall somewhere
in the wild and impossible
West. In one corner of the room is a
group of men and women quietly waltz
ing, and in another corner is another
group quietly PLAYING what appears to
be a game OF authors, Judging from the
placid expression on their faces. The
bartender and customer are engaged
in what seems to be casual chat
about the weather. while on the
stage at the end of the hall
a female vocalist is exercising he" lungs.
The foreground. however, presents a
more lively spectacle. A party of gam
blers are seated at table, and Arizona
Joe has driven huge knife through
the hand OF one of the gamblers. The
wicked gambler has drawn a revolver,
but Is probably unable to use it. as a
bulldog of undaunted terocity has
caught hold of his arm and is chewing
it. A few feet away man dressed like
a cowboy is quietly cutting Negroes
throat. All this while the young lady
on the stage continues to sing with UNI
disturbed serenity, the dancing and
card playing goes Oh and on-and such
