The JOY of a Man Who Has Drained Pow

He was little man, thinly clad for such a
cold morning, and he went along Monroe
street pushing his hands down deep into
his pockets, holding firmly with his teeth
an old mOuth-organ. on which lie was blow
ing vigorously, and dancing to the tune he
tried to play, he was the observed of all
observers and the source of much amuse-
ment.
you took a little too much O. your
bitteTs this moTnin', didn't you, stranger ?"
asked the proprietor of the fruit-stand on
the corner, as the little man passed in
his glee and looked at the display Of candy.
bananas and grapes.
You are mistaken. sir" was the digni-
fed answer. Il am not drunk, upOn nv
word l am not. i was never more sober in
my lie"
'Wen, you must be crazy then" persisted
the inCOTrIgible iTuit-seller, cor YOU would
not so along the street cuttin' such a fig-
ger"
''No. nor Pm not crazy, was the response.
I'm happy, that's ali"
"Humph! You'd better be a little bit care
ful how you show your happiness, or you'u
get policeman aft r you. What makes
yOu so happy2"
Before answering the little man danced
and played spiritedly for a few minutes,
and then he said:

He renewed his innocent revelry, and his
interested audience, their hearts sOftened
by the simple story, gave 50 freely of their
nlckels ana dimes that the contribution was

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
A Burglar Ransacks Judge Reynolds
Residence At san Jose.
San jose HeraII, Ee1 An.

Last night a burglar entered tie resi-
deuce Of Judge Reynolds al the corner Of
Julian and Third streets, and Tansacbed the
house The discovery was made about
o'clock, when Mrs. Reynolds, feeling
thirsty, arose and went for a drink
Of water. When she returned the
discovery was made that the Judges
clothing was scattered about the floor.
and on further Investigation il was
found that the house had been Tummaged.
The thief took Judge Reynolds gold watch
aud three dollars IN silver. but did not ind
some gold that was in another pocket, nor
Mrs. Reynolds watch. y Inch was lying
near. There v ere evidences in all the lower
rooms that the burglar had eX mined every
thing, but found nothing which it would
pay him to carry off. All the siiveTware
that DE examined was plated and therefore
nOt worth the risk OF p.undeuug.
Il lis supposed that the man was inter-
ruUted In MS invest cation by Mrs. Rey-
nolds aud while size was getting a drink he
left the premises by the front door. He left
the remnants Of a haf-eateD orange on the
kitchen floor.
Judge Reynolds came downtown and got
the police TO examine the premises, when it
was found that entrance 20 the house was
effected through a parlOr window.

fore arriving in the city Mr.. Piper went to
the end Of the sleeping-car and walked into
the toilet-room, as he supposed. In
stead, be stepped through YES

went headl0ng into space. At the time
Of hs mi,hap the train was in the tunnel,
neal Nineteenth street, but Mr.. Piper was
unable to distinguish where lie was. Every
few moments a train would dash by, but
fortunately he fell to one side of the track
and was comparatively safe. His cries for
help were not heard for nearly two hours,
and then several policemen and trackmen
responded. They we're only able to remove
him half a block In nearly half an hour.
owing to the number Of trains that dashed
along. Finally one Of the officers ran down
to Eighty-siXth street got some torped0es
and stopped a train. Piper was removed TO
the Presbyterian Hospital, where 1t was
found that his left leg was broken in two
places.

THE AFTERGLOW.

The cold gray mist tlst shrouds TIE eSTtA,
The shadows deepen in the glen,
The day IS done-the tay OF mirth.
The twilight falls, and faint and low
Is hesrd the utShtbird's lonely song,
That sobs symphony Of woe,
SChs and beWails the night along.
Then. as We sigh for vanished day,
And watch the darkness settle SLOW.
ThToagE the dense shadows darts ray,
A fush-it the aitergIOw.
The gathering night rolls sullen back

A Big storm.


 It was on Tuesday, January 26th that storm set in here. It has continued ever since, and with one or two exceptions it has either rain ed or showed every day since. Rain continued until Wednesday, February Sd, when the tenn perature fell and the precipita- ton was turned to .snow. But while it was raining in Prescott It was showing in the mountains. and it is now from four to six feet deep on the divide south of town and in the mountains east and west oi Prescott. The snow fall in Prescott was from fifteen to twenty inches, propably nearer the latter. A gen tleman who provided means for measurement found it thirteen and a half inches deep on Sunday morn ing. and as the days have been warm several inches had melted, which of course could only be esti- mated.
 Travel except by railroad is i'm peded. J. D. Cook, who owns the Senator stage line, put four horses, on Saturday, to light buck board and then only succeeded in getting about five miles from town when he was compelled to turn back.
 The Phenix stage, due on Saturday night. arrived on last night, while the one due last night failed to put in appearance.
 The stage from Jerome, on Satur- day, was abandoned in the noun tains, the driver riding one of the horses to Prescott with the mail, while a passenger rode another one bareback to Jerome.
 The weather cleared up for a few hours this morning, but at noon It was showing again and the lndica- tions this afternoon are very favora' ble for the continuance Of the storm
