Probably tho funniest experience !

what he might have done with me next
day.
Iwon big bet that day, and had pro-
seeded with number Of my friends to
the largest cafe In town, where had
invited them to assist In the destruction
Of my newly born roll after the play.
Well, we arrived at the restaurant in
good form. In the party were three la
dies and three gentlemen, just making
up nice table. The proprietor saw us
coming, and meeting us at the door, led
the way to the table he had prepared for
us as agreed earlier in the day. OF
course this table was pretty well deco.
rated and the people about the cafe.
which was crowded, were anxious to
know who was, as I seemed to be the
leader.
"What, that fellar there" inquired the
proprietor, after an inquiry had been nd
dressed to him. "Oh, he's an old friend
of mine; ulster go ter school tergether.
But he's the president of the Union
Pacific now, just In town for o day or 80,
dining at my place every night"
I don't know whether it was intended
we should hear this or not, but we could
not help hearing it, and the boys offered
Q toast to their friend the president.
Finally discovering that the walters
were secretly falling asleep on the backs
Of their chairs and that, the hour being
late, the other guests were leaving, we
had one more toast and then prepared to
depart, My friends stepped outside,
where they were to await me after I had
dispensed Of some Of my stock, being q
railroad president, and I walked up to
the restauratepr, feeling In my pockets
for my roll, which seemed to be playing
hide and seek with me.
Finally had to admit that couldn't
find cent.
"Whatl" said my schoolmate friend,
''this is fine thing to do. Yer can't
play trick like this with me. Yer know
bloody well yer had no money in yer
clothes when yer walked In here"
! tried to demonstrate with him and
recalled our going to school together.
This rather touched him for a moment
but proved to be only while he was In
venting way out of it, and asI expected
he announced it case of mistaken iden.4
tity and disowned me for being 'this
railway president friend who went ta
school with him."
"Now you can just seat yourself right
here and let the people look at the big
gest skin in town until yer find money
ter pay yer bill," and the people all
looked with a vengeance.
Just then ip walked one Of my friends
who must have been standing near b., ,as
he knew the situation perfectly. He
stepped up to the proprietor, paid the
bill out Of good life sized roll and
handed.me the remainder. Then Icaught

Following is q statement Of the con-
tents Of the home rule bill officially
handed to correspondents.
The bill offers Ireland legislature,
free to deal in all Irish affairs. The ex-
scutive government is responsible to
that legislature. In all the main prin-
ciples and in political machinery it's
provisions are much better than the bill
Of 1885. The Irish parliamentary party
1t meeting after the delivery Of Glad
stones speech, cordially accepted the
nsw home rule constitution, subject to
endeavors in committee to improve the
proposed financial arrangements and to
have the time shortened wherein the
land question is to be withheld from the
purview OF the Irish national legisla-
fure. We are authorized by the party
to transmit this resolution to the friends
and supporters Of Irish liberty in the

COYOTES I'M CALIFORNIA.
How a Strange Tawry Army Secures
Breakfast Ia the Desert.

How a Strange Tawry Army Secures
Breakfast Ia the Desert.
In the dim light of the early morning
in certain parts of the Humboldt, Per-
anegat, Mason and other valleys
may be seen a queer tawny army mar
shaded in some places by dozens and in
others by scores. The army is called
together by a reveille, and soon there
after the strange music. which breaks
the stiffness of the desert, swells into
a chorus, participated in by all the
members of the tawny troop. 1t is the
gathering Of the coyotes, and they are
out, their appetites sharpened by the
crisp air, to gain their regular break
fast OF jerl1ed jaciz-rabbit meat. There
is a shifting among the sage and
greasewood by the avant-eouriers of
the sharp-toothed brigade. Meantime
all the others have been deployed in
such manner that when a feet-foot-
ed jack has been raised from his lair
he is passed on and on. The coyotes
usually arrange themselves in the form
of a long ellipse. Thus the jack, how
ever large and strong he may be, and
whether fleet as the wind is sure to
at last weary himself. He can
not get ont. for a willy coyote
at every turn checks him and keeps him
in the ellipse and in the lead of his pur-
suer. When the coyote in pursuit tires,
another fresh as The air of the morning,
takes up the chase. Thus an untiring
Nemesis is always after him, and in due
time the tired, painting rabbit falls
prey to the yellow troop. At the death
they all rush in, their jaws working like
fast-flying shear blades. The rabbit is
cut in pieces, snapped up and eaten, and
then another weird reveille is sounded,
another jack is started up, and thus
they go for two or three hours some
times. until the hunger of all is APP
peased.
This hunting in troops, as is pointed
out by Col. Joseph Grandelmyer, the
sagebrush pioneer. enables each of the
brigade of coyotes to get good meal.
If but one of the coyotes We're to start
after the rapid-hying jack he would be-
come quickly winded without affecting
the jack whatever. but with relays of
coyotes, and one always to take up the
chase when the other is tired, victory
soon perches on their banner. Grandel-
myer insists that the coyote army is
most scientifically generated. The
commander in chief, veteran of the
chase, usually sits on some slight emil
nence, his lieutenants and aids being in
full view to repeat his orders.
"Never was there better drilled
army than this of the coyotes said he

Warner Snoad, president of the

writes TO the Pail Mail Gazette that in

respects equals, governed in municipal
affairs, but not yet in those of the state,
by representatives elected by men and
women together. The future citizens
are taught by their mothers, and in the
whole island not single illiterate is to
be found, every child being able TO read,
write and cipher by the time it has
reached the age of seven. And those
voting mothers who educate their own
children have produced a nation in
which there are no prisons, no police,
no thieves. no enormously rich, no mis-
erably poor; just a plain, temperate,
chaste, educated and intelligent people.

The Right of WAY.

The question Is often asked regard
ing the law of the street for pedestri-
ans. a lawyer answers the question
as follows: The streets belong To the
teams and vehicles, and pedestrians
have no more business on them than
teams would have on the sidewalk
The crosswalks at street corners be-
long TO pedestrians. who have the
right of way there by law as against
teams. Many drivers ignore the law
and go driving over crosswalks, en-
dangering the life aud limb of the Pc
destrians without once thinking they
are violating the law. No vehicle OF
horse can, within the law, be driN EN-
rapidly over crossing, nor can the
drivers obstTuet the crossings. -E.r.
We submitted the foregoing to two
or three prominent lawyers in this
city and they unite i'll declaring that
the statements therein contained are
incorrect aud misleading. As every
one is more or less interested in the
subject, we give below the opinion of
local attorneys, which opinion is
clothed in almost the exact words of
decisions of the supreme courts:
All persons have right TO walk in
"A public highway as well as to ride or
drive upon it; their rights are equal,
and both fOotman and driver are re.
CURED to exercise such care and pru
dence as the circumstances demand
The footman is required to avoid

each have the right in common, and
equally with the other, and in its eXer-
else are bound to use reasonable care
for their own safety and TO avoid in
Jury to others who may be in the
exercise of the equal right of way
with them. The same rule applies to
crosswalks. A sidewalk belongs TO
the adjacent property owner, subject
to public use. He can drive his team
upon it provided he does not interfere
with public travel an unreasonable
length of time.-Neg Richmond TOice.

About Matrimony.
In the spring a youn mans fancy
Lightly turns 10 fbough hts If love


Thus sang Tennyson, and poet lau-
reate is supposed 10 be Judge of the
sentimental feelings. The end of love
when it is mutual, Is usually Marriage
sometimes not to last very long
The history of matrimony is varied
and curious. To the Aryan races be-
longs the distinction of being the
authors of monogamy--that is, think
ing that a man who had one wife had
lis share AmouF o.htr races a man
was allowed to have as many wives as
he could buy, or capture in war
Among some Oriental nations pol
ygamy is still practieed. Among mon
ogamous peoples, woman occupies the
highest position in society-among
polygamists she is a toil-worn slave or
the playth ng of an idle hour. In
England a man may marry his first
cousin, but not the sister of his de-
ceased wife. In the United States
this restriction does not obtain. In
most States, licenses are. necessary,
but in others, Wisconsin for instance,
marriage is quite a free contract.
The main point, however, is to get a
good wife--and one of the brightest
editors in Minnesota says he owes his
spouse to having transportation on the
Burlington. The moral is to get your
wife in some of the many cities and
towns on the Burlington Route, and
you will make no mistake. For a list
of these places, and tickets, maps,
ETC., call on your home agent, or write
to w. j. G. Kenyon, Gen. Pass. Agent.
