Tom Power long enjoyed or suffered, as
you like, the reputation Of being the cluA-
siest teamster in New Mexico and hardly
ever made trip without being kicked OF
bitten or Urod on by one of his mules. But
it ended in his being kicked into fortune,
for it was by kick from hls mule sam
that Tom landed on the now famous Noon
day lode.
Old Sam was a regular devil. The brute
knew that Tom was afraid Of him and
nevermissed a chanceto bite or kick at him.
One day in the latter part of Septem Der
1887, Tom started from Lake Valley with a
heavy load, bound to John Burke's camp.
The distance was so miles, and part of the
way the road was hardly more than ii trail
on the mountainside. At place called

A Prisoner Wanted.

1t was at chronological enter
tainment, and the professor had
been illustrating his lecture by in
viting gentlemen of various avoca-
tons to come on the platform, and
demonstrated that different habits
of life were characterized by cores
ponding variations in the formation
of the Uranium. He presently
came to deal with the criminal
form of skull, and, desiring a SUBJ
jet, addressed his audiences:
IF there is any gentleman who
has ever been the inmate of pris-
on, we should be glad if he stepped
forward"
To this invitation tall, thick
set man in the body of the hall re-
sponded, and rising from his seat
walked down to the front.

A Lady Born.

True politeness does not consist
of the artificial airs of the drawing
room, in what is sometimes called
company manners" that continue
SO long as there are persons present
to look on, whose good opinion is
desired, and relapse into barbarism
as soon as the company has gone.
1t it the Unborn impulse of a high
er and nobler nature. Here is an
apt illustration:
An aged truckman bent under
the weight of big roll Of carpet.
His bale hook fell from his hand
and bounded into the gutter out of
reach. Twenty idle clerks and
statesmen saw the old mans predic-
ament, and smiled at his look of be-
wilderment. No one ventured to
help him. A fashionably dressed
young woman came along, took in
the situation at a glance, and with
out looking to the right or left,
stepped into the gutter, picked up
the hook in her dainty, gloved fin
gers, and handed it to the man
with a smile. The oilers looked at
each other and at the fair young
woman.
The old truckman, in violent
effort to express his thanks politely,
lost his hat 1t rolled into the
gutter where the hook had been.
This was almost to much for any
woman, young or past young; but
this New York girl was equal to
the occasion. Into the gutter she
tripped again and got the soiled
hat. When she handed it to the
truckman a happy smile was seen
about her lips. God bless We,
miss the old man said, as the fair
maiden turned her back OH the i'd
lers and went on her way. What
an example of true politeness!

Father Corrigan is Mad.

HoBoKEN, N. j., Sept. 15.-The
controversy between Bishop Wigger
and Father Corrigan is now more bit
ter than ever, and the strong language
used by Father Corrigan in refuting
the charge that he had mismanaged
the paroachial school affairs in the
Hoboken parish, or causing much
comment among Catholics in Rishop
Wigger's diocese. Father Corrigan
denies that he has mismanaged the af
fairs of his parish, and says that men
who claimed he has were liars. A re-
porter was unable to see Bishop Wig
ger, but one of the priests said the
bishop had made it a rule not to dis
cuss church affairs in the papers.
When the priest was asked if the
bishop would take action against
Father Corrigan he declined to say
any thing more.
