became q ranchero, and knew how to
size up good scout or safe officer. While
the youngster was making his OFFER IL was
plain to me that he had hit upon some in
genious scheme that only needed good
luck and courage for Q trial. My war
record, such as II was, gave me good
deal of influence with the boys, and as
seemed satisfied to risk my chum, II was
finally agreed that Plug Hat should GO.
When the meeting broke up asked him
what his plan was, but he only laughed
and said: III come back you'll find
out
"The second morning afterward he
started. He picked out q good horse, put
on his Sunday clothes, silk hat included,
filed his belt with revolvers, fastened his
saddle pouch and bade us goodbye, max
ing most of US feel pretty glum. Well, to
shorten the story, that night while We
were at supper, into camp rode Plug Hat.
He dismounted coolly, sat down among
us and began to eat. He couldn't answer
the thick volley of questions given him,
but after supper, in q quiet, commonplace
way, he told US about his adventure.
"He had ridden about twenty miles
from camp, and had turned out of Red
Stone Pass to cross a quarter-mile lonely
spot that led to an easy-riding road. He
was half way across when from behind
the rocks or foothills sprang Black Mex
from one side and Big Cactus from the
other. OF course, they held him up as
it's now termed. Cactus seized his bride
and covered him with q revolver. Mex
held another at his ear and made his dis
mount. He then took all Of the revolvers
from his prisoners belt and sounded
his bosom and pockets for any that
might be hidden. Then he made him
sit down few feet away, and
proceeded to rife the pouch. Cactus kept
the boy covered, but as the latter was de-
prived of his belt weapons and would not
be likely to attempt knife attack upon
his brawny captors, even II he had a
bowie, vigilance relaxed. In one Of these
unguarded seconds, off came the plug
hat, out Of 1t flashed the famous short
barrel, and two of the worst fends that
ever pestered the Southwest were out OF
existence.
"Well, we and the boys, far and near,
were mighty proud of Plug Hat, and some
Of the ranch owners offered to stake him
high or take him in pards. He wouldn't
stay, and he soon started North to preach.
"Did ever see him again? What was
his real name? Yes, I've seen him nearly
every New Years since I've settled North
as for his name, IL he'll quit scowling like
O hungry Comanche and stop shaking
his head like balky mustang, I'll intro
duce you to him right nowl"-N. Y. Tri-

Seventy-five years ago Thomas l..
Walker, then a mere boy, planted four
walnuts by the roadside opposite his
fathers house in the Eleventh Civil Dis
trict, near Cedar Bluff, and some ten miles
west of Knoxville. He died ten years ago,
yet he lived to see four walnut trees grow
to a measure of four feet in diameter,
worth, II cut and properly seasoned, at
least $500 each. Had he planted 800
walnuts on an adjoining acre of
ground his heirs when he died
would have been $4,000 better off,
To-day they would be 500, 600
better of. Had he planted ten acres they
would be worth ut least q 000, 900. Had
he planted a hundred acres, and all the
trees had reached an average size of three
feet In diameter, and there is no reason
why they shouldn't, as the land is fertile
and impregnated with lime, his heirs, and
there are only three living, would be
worth altogether s200, ,000, 900. II, like old
Johnny Appleseed, who planted thou
sands of apple trees in the northwest, he
had planted all the wornout fields in Ten
nessee In walnuts, 1t would be the richest
State in the Union by far.-Knoxville

A shoemaker says: GAS soon as a man
comes into my shop and takes off his
shoes / can tell whether or not he is a
good walker, and it is astonishing to find
how few men know the proper way to
step out.
"If the shoe is worn down at the heel,
not at the side, but straight back, and
leather of the sole shows sign of weakness
at the ball of the foot, a little greater on
the inside Just below the base Of the great
toe, know that the wearer Is q good
walker.
"If, however, the heel Is turned on one
side or is worn evenly throughout and
the sole Is worn most near the toe, know
that have to deal with poor pedestrian.
The reason of the difference of position
of the worn spot lies in the fact that the
poor walker walks from his knee and the
good one from his hips.
swatch the passers-by on the street
and you will at once see the difference.
Nine men out of ten will bend the knee
very considerably in walking, stepping
straight out with both hips on the same
line, and the toe will be the first to strike
the ground.
"The tenth man will bend his kneea
very little, just enough to clear the
ground, and will swing the leg from th
hip very much as the arm Is swung from
the shoulder and not from the elbow. BY
SO doing he calls upon the muscles that
are strongest to bear the strain, and in
creases the length of his stride four to six
inches. The heel touches the ground first
and not the toe. A slight spring is given
from the ball of the foot on making an
other stride.
Men that walk in this fashion cover
the ground thirty per cent. faster with
the same exertion than those that walk
from the knee. In pugilism the old rule
is to strike from the shoulder and not
from the elbow. In pedestrianism it is to
walk from the hip and not the knee

A BROTHER OF MEN.

He was . mighty emperor.
He ruled In pride and powers
He trampled many human hears
Asa foot may crush Q flower.
The jewels In his coronet
Were scorn and fear and hatei
The menace OF his angry nod
Was like the frown o; fate.
To exile, to prison,
To torture and to death!
And women toiled with bleeding hearts,
And men with bated breath.
The elders and the fathers
Sat listless in the gate;
They bowed their boards upon their breasts
And sadly whispered, "Wait!"
He was mighty emperor,
He stretched him on his bed;
And ho! the sentry on the wall
Proclaimed, "The czar is deadA
They plucked away his costly robe,
They washed him clean and white;
They wrapped him in his winding-sheet,
And he lay In all mems sight.
As once within his mothers arms
tender babe he lay,
30 harmless, ay, so helpless he
Upon his burial day!
The scorn had vanished from his lip,
The menace from his brow;
He was the czar." the old men sighed
He Is our brother now.
"Would he had learned the lesson
In those years OF power and pride
Would that the car had learned to be
Our brother ere.he died.

What Dimculties the Sturdy Old WaN
riors Had I'm Fighting Fire.
An interesting article upon fire fight.
ing, as practiced by the ancient Romans
appeared in the London Globe of q recent
date. According to the writer, the first
Roman fire brigade was organized by the
Emperor Augustus, and consisted oi
seven bands, each under captain
charged with the protection from fire oi
two of the fourteen municipal districts
The prefect of the watch was the CHIEF
officer of the brigade.
The weapon used by the firemen wal
termed a lama, but what this was ID
doubtful, as some writer's maintain that
1t was a water bucket, and others q pole
with q hooked end. There were incen-
diaries In those days as in the present
One of these is referred to under the name
of Arturius, who burned down his house,
and then, as was the custom after fire
sent around and solicited the help of his
friends and neighbors, obtaining gifts
that proved to be thrice the value of the
goods destroyed by his wilful act OF
arson.
There was another custom by which
many Roman milllonaires, including the
elder Cato and Crassus, obtained their
riches. This was kind of speculation in
fires.
At the first news OF building In flames
the wealthy fre-monger-as the profes-
sion has been aptly Observation-Disclosures
to the spot well provided with money,
and accompanied by train OF slaves.
Rapidly estimating the value of the risk
upon the basis of the probable salvage OBJ
tainable from the blazing house, he then
rendered a sum-frequently absurdly
small in proportion to the amount at risk
Ito the owner, who seeing that he was
powerless to save anything, generally
accepted the offer.
Thereupon the purchasers slaves were
set to work to extinguish the flames, or,
failing that, to snatch everything possi-
BILE from the burning building. 1t is re-
corded that Crassus, who obtained an
immense fortune by this means, employed
no less than 500 trained slaves in extin-
gushing single fire.
At later date the hand pump, invented
by Ctesibus of Alexandria, was used in
Rome, but was soon superseded by ma
chine devised by Apollodorus, architect
to the Emperor Trojan. This consisted
of a pipe or pipes to which a leathern
bottle was attached, forming crude sort
OF syringe, which appliance continued in
use for some hundreds of years, and was
only replaced by more modern apparatus
in the seventeenth century.-Fire and

Seth Sampson, of Maine, commonly
spoken of as " Uncle Seth," who died re-
Gently at an advanced age, was well known
in his native State as fearless advocate
Of temperance. He prosecuted rumsellers
without mercy, and in return was cordial
ly hated by the whole fraternity.
At one time, according to the Eastern
State, while attending court in a liquor
trial, he was spending the evening in the
public room of the village tavern, when q
bullet shattered the window and passed
near his head.
There was great excitement, of course,
but Uncle Seth remained unmoved. He
had been in danger of his life before. He
said nothing till the uproar subsidized,
then he remarked quietly:
"Iwish knew who fired that bullet. !"
"What would you do?" asked by
stander.
