When Travelling Was Dangerous.

Hounslow heath, Finchley common
and Gadshill, in the neighborhood of
London, were celebrated haunts of the
highwayman, and the secluded roads OF
Epping forest, on the route to Cam
bridge, were often the scenes of plumber
in broad daylight. These desperate rob-
bers at last became so dangerous, and
the peril of their attacks so serious to
travellers of all kinds, IS well as to the
postmen, that the government passed a
law making highway robbery an offense
punishable by the death of the criminal
and the c%onfiscation of all his property.
But robberles still occurred.
In 1888 mail coaches, protected by
armed guards, took the place of post
boys. The coaches carried passengers
also. and as these generally carried arms
the mails were better protected, but
still daring and oftentimes successful
attacks were made upon them.-St.
Nicholas.

AmeIie Riyes' NewsbOy.

"There is a young man in Mobile"
said Colonel Robert McEachin of Win
chester, Va, "who has cause to remem-
Der Amelie Rives twice a year. When
the now distinguished lady was a little
girl and lived in that city, she became
fondly attached to a newsboy who cried
out his papers every morning in the
neighborhood in which she lived. She
met him one day and a friendship sprang
up between them that has lasted to the
present time, After the boys stock of
papers were sold in the morning he would
call for the pretty little blue eyed miss,
and they would take long strolls down
Prosecute road, plucking the orange bios
SONS and the magnolia blooms. They
o got to be familiar figures on Gov
eminent street, as they would walk
along that busy thoroughfare with the
young girls head garlanded with wreaths
of beautiful flowers and the little boys
arms filed with vines and evergreens.
Then Miss Rives moved far awayinto Vir-
ginia, but she never forgot her newsboy
friend, for it was her custom almost
daily to write him. The boy met with a
misfortune some years ago which Grip
pied him for life. He is poor, but hi
purse is twice a year r~eplenished by a
p~ostoffice order from Mrs. Chanler. One
of these arrives in Mobile on his birth
day, which is in June, and the other on
Christmas day."-St. Louis Republic.

A Oueer Performance.

Several years ago Hampshire baronet
was amazed to find that, although he
went to bed clothed as is customary, yet
he invariably awoke naked in the morn
ing and could not find any trace of his
missing garment. A great number Of
shirts disappeared in this inexplicable
manner, and as every nook and corner
in the room was searched without re-
suit the baronet at last told one of his
intimate friends, and requested him to
sit in the room all night and watch de-
velopments. This the friend did, and
after the baronet had for some time given
audible evidence that he was asleep the
watcher was surprised to observe him
get out of bed, open the door and proceed
with a quick pace along a corridor, de-
scend the stairs and emerge into an open
yard.
Suddenly the baronet, divesting him
self of his only garment, seized a pitch
fork and buried the linen in a dunghill.
Afterward he proceeded leisurely back
to his bed. In the morning the baronet,
in~credulous at what his friend related,
repaired to the dunghill, and after dig
cling for some time found several shirts
slowed away in this anything but pleas
ant receptacle.-Boston Globe

Violating Parlor Car Rules.

u = aiAoI var ~
81 have violated the rules laid down
by Mr.. George M. Pullman every time |
have ridden on a railroad train in the
past two years." said Mrs. Robert Yer
o of New York as she and her hus-
band were preparing to leave the parlors
of the Lindell for a walk the other day.
"You know, I'd never think of travelling
without my little dog Nellie-named
after me, you know-she's such an affec-
tionate little thing and worries 30 much
when I leave her behind me. Now, when
Bob goes on the road l frequently take
trips with him, and of course Nellie
comes too. The first trip we took her
with us we had to leave her in the bag
gage car, and in the morning the poor
thing was nearly dead with fright. Then
l made up my mind I'd have her with
me or quit travelling.
SIN Philadelphia l noticed wome ear
rying dark green cloth bags on the street
and found that they were called 'cabas,'
and they carried most everything in
them. Well, | made one for Nellie, and
she travels cross the country now in a
caba. Pullman conductors think it's q
package of clothing or anything else
they like, for Nellie never moves. She is
perfectly content to know that l am
close by her and would rather keep
quiet than ride in the baggage car. Oh,
don't tell me that dogs don't know any
thing. You do, don't you. Nell?-St.

What to Do.

When a young woman asks you to
go with her to choose a pocketbook and
tells the clerk she wants one $50 long,"
measuring a space of six or eight
inches with the first finger of each hand,
it is just as well not to express yonr
surprise that it isn't to be a dainty, sill
yer mounted affair that accords with
her costuming, and when she chooses an
enormous seal leather affair with lots of
compartments for bills and checks and
numerous other such articles it is safe
to decide that Charley" still lives in
her memory as she in his, and when she
talks about the marking and takes the
pencil in a determined way and an
swers the salesmen's remark about the
letters with a savage "Tll write them,"
why, it's time to turn your back and be
awfully interested in something else

Two METROPOLITAN Children.

1t was on Third avenue the other day
that the face of a boy not moro than G
years old, with a cigarette thrust be-
tween the little lips, attracted the atten-
ton of a woman who was passing. The
child's puny, sickly appearance, for he
looked as if nothing more than ciga-
rettes was needed to break his slender
hold IN life, made the woman stop in
the hope that here was an opportunity
for a word in season.
Don't you know" she began, that
you'll never grow up to be a big, strong
man if you smoke those bad cigarettes:
You'll die, and you don't want to do
that, I know"
Nav. l won't die nuther," said the
young smoker without taking out his
weed.
What would your mother say if she
saw your was the next query.
ooh, she let's me-"
A chubby little chap Of 4, round
checked, a mere baby, stood at the
elder ones side during the talk. The
woman turned to him.
Your little brother doesn't smoke
cigarettes. You are setting him a bad
example"
The younger boy smiled. but said
nothing.
"Naw, he don't smoke cigarettes"
spoke up the other one; she smokes a
pipe"
And the woman fed, abashed before
those two terrible infants.-New York
Times.

Public Dinners a Bore.

public dinners are becoming more
and nor of a nuisance to professional
men," said a distinguished lawyer of this
town somewhat peevishly the other
night. Now, why should an extremely
busy man like myself be asked to devote
several hours Of valuable time to the
preparation of an address on some i'm
portant topic for free delivery before an
association in which I have no particular
interest? Of course I have the privilege
of declining, but when two or three
warm personal friends urge me to COM
ply on the ground of sociability, I have
to accept or else appear surly. In con-
sequence 1 give up time which 1 can
hardly spare from my clients, am kept
up late at night and go down to business
in the morning with a headache or an at
tack Of indigestion New York Times.

Shot While Going For a Doctor.

1t was in Pittsburg some seven years
ago that my wife woke me up one night
and said that our little boy was very
sick and would / go for a doctor. l said
Of course | would. and slipping into my
clothes | grabbed my hat and started
ont. When / reached the first eorner, !
passed a stranger who was running the
other way. | cut ~diagonally across the
street and ran toward the center of
town. Pretty zoe | heard footsteps
some distance back, and then several
shots were fired. felt as though some
n had thrown Il stone and struck me
on the leg, but | couldn't run any more
worth a cent. | stumbled down and
then drawing myself up put my hand
where l felt the pain and found that my
leg was moist with blood. l easily real
lied that l was shot. The possessor of
the revolver drew up before me painting
for breath and exclaimed, "You will rob
people, will you::" It was a policeman.
l began to upbraid him most thoroughly.
Explanations nor excavations did not
help the matter any, and l was taken in
q patrol to the station. I repeated my
story and insisted that a doctor should
be sent to my house. The desk sergeant
finally did as I wished, and our family
doctor called at the house, and later
came by the station. 1t did not take me
long to convince the station officers that
l was not the party, and was set at lib
erty and removed to my home. When.1
was able to get around again, l sued the
city for $4,000, and l got it.-Interview

Wedding Cakes, New Style,

Who was the inventor of the new we'd
ding cakes? Whoever he was he de-
serves immortalizing, for his was a bril-
liant idea, one l should have been real
proud of" myself had l thought Of it. In
the wedding cake of more ancient type
there "a always a thick layer Of white
sugar which nobody cared about, a
medium layer of almond paste which
everYbod ywished for and did not always
get, and an immense quantity of cake
of which many only ate a few crumbs.
The latest specimen has a thin layer
of sugar, only just enough to look pretty.
and underneath are alternate layers of
cake and almond paste. one as thick as
the other.
TIE consequence is that no one is de-
f. led Of their lawful share of almond
paste or Glove" as it is usually called,
and for purposes of distribution it is far
better, as the contents of the box do not
crumble away nearly SO much as they did
when the principal portion was cake
alone. If only some one would invent a
box which could not be rified and was
bound to reach its lawful destination,
we should have nothing left to desire

NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT..

When the publishers decided to
issue The Journal twice a week
at the same price Of the old week
lies, $1.OO per year, they stl uck
just what the public wanted
something between the old-fash-
toned weekly and the high-priced
daily. The success of The Semi
Weekly Journal has been imme-
diate and continued. It has dis
tanced every one Of its once-a-week
rivals. 1t doesn't take long to
convince people that a good live
paper every Tuesday and Friday
is better than only one a week,
especially when you appeal to their
pocket books, and give it to them
at the same price. Readers will
testify that it is almost as good as
a daily. The markets twice a
week are worth the money. Four
complete novels each year by
"The Duchess" Miss Braddon,
and other widely known authors,
are worth the dollar. Its legisla-
tive news is its strong point just
now. It is wide-awade, spends
money for news, and is always in
the lead. You can see it's supe-
riority over the old-fashioned
weekly. Everyone who subscribes

We call the attention Of our readers
to the advertisement of The Call in

in price The Call is the cheapest
daily in Nebraska, and its spicy and
independent policy is too well known
to need comment from US. In reduc-
ing the price of The Call so as to put
it within the reach of everybody, the
management have placed themselves a
decided step in advance of all other
publishers in the state. This is an era
of popular prices for the newspaper,
