SAVING WOOD,

I don't suppose the man was ever in

he WAS out in front at woodpile,
with a saw, hard at work, while g

net sat on the cabin steps, smoking
her pipe and watching him.

stopped my horse.

stopping his saw.

said, coming down at onceto business,
but he sawed on.
"Haye you got one in your house?"
I asked, after waiting a. moment for
the saw to stop.
Don't you think you ought to have
one?" was my next, as the saw kept
ripping along.
No answer, and at last, quite pro-
voked, l said:
'Why in thunder don't you talk?'
"He kept right on saving, but, look
ing furtively over his shoulder toward
his wife, who had never moved, he re-
piled:

Something of a Weapon

Police Captain Cox, OF the East
Side, was last evening exhibiting a
murderous weapon in the city Jail,
the like ofwhich has never been seen
before. 1t is a folding sword that
can be used either as a club or a
sword and when opened is about
two feet and a halfin length. It's blade
is made of heavy steel, tapering to a
point at the end, and both edges are
sharpened. The weapon is heavy
enough to take off a head at q single
blow. 1t can be opened in all instant
by pressing a small spring at the end
OF the hilt, which let's heavier spring
throw out the blade. Captain Cox
says the weapon is q historical relic,
having been found on the field OF the
Custer massacre, but tradition
and Jailer Hudson say that it was
once the property OF Turkish brigade.

SOCIETY IN THE GULcH.

Jim Couldn't Go Because He Was
Short on Ornaments.
There was to be dance that night
in the gulch, and all her beauty and
her chivalry were to be on hand, says
New York Truth.
Upon the mountain side q light
flickered from the window of Dandy
Jim's cabin.
The revealers observed it as they
went in groups to the ball and Won
dered.
Jim was always the very first at all
festive occasions and the last to
leave.
An hour after the latest arrivals
had made their appearance Jim had
not come.
Wonders gave place to alarm then
and committee of three were appoint
ed to go to Jim's cabin and investi-
gate.
The light from the window streamed
down the path and the visitors found
no difficulty in reaching the cabin
though the night was dark.
In response to their knock they were
invited to enter and within they found
Dandy Jim seated in tine corner in the
deepest detection.
Hello, Jim," greeted the spokes-
man, cheerily, "why amt yer at the
shindig?"
Cant boys. ! can't come" and
Jim's lips quivered.
"What's the row? Got news from
the East? Is yer mother dead or Yer
wife livin'? We've been sent up to find
out"
"Wusn't that, boys. I amt got
nuthin' to wear. Both my revolvers
are out of order and Winchester is
sucli--bad form, besides bein' awk'
ward to dance in.''
jim hastily brushed his eyes and
the visitors looked mournfully at
each other.
They knew that on such q night
there were no spare garments in the
gulch that would fit Dandy Jim.

hospital records where Mr.. QUAINT was
treated and from the doctors who had the

durable Let it be remembered that all
this hospital treatment was two and three
years ago. while his cure, by the Use of DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, has
been effected since last September, 1891. So
it is beyond doubt evident that his re.
