HELD A ROYAL FLUSH.
A Conductor Reciprocates the Hospi
tality OF Train Robber.

A Conductor Reciprocates the Hospt-
tality OF Train Robber.
Conductor Bywater, of the German
Northern road who was on the train
recently held up near Great Falls,
Mont, tells an interesting story of the
robbery and the capture of the last of
the robbers. When he got out on that
dark night to see what was the reason
for the train stopping so unexpectedly
he was startled to be ordered TO throw
UP his hands and to find man
looking at him from the shadow of
the train along the barrel of cooked
Winchester, which was pointed d.
rectly at him. He promptly complied,
of course, us did the brakeman who
was with him, and after standing for
about ten minutes in the frosty night
air Bywater remarked that he wished
the next time the robbers undertook n
job of this kind they would give him
notice so he could bring his overcoat
with him, whereupon the robber
laughed and said he could not give him
an overeoat, but could give him .
drink, and he pulled out flask of
whisky. Bywater started to get the
flask, thinking that If he could once
get at close quarters he would be able
to overpower the robber, but when he
got within about ten feet of him the
man thought the better of his pro-
posal and ordered him TO stay where
he was and tossed the flask toward
him. After taking drink and pass
ing it TO the brakeman he again at
tempted to return the flask to the rob-
Der. but he was too wary and
made him back off, remarlSing
that he didn't care to become
too familiar on short acquaint-
anee. However, Bywater got q
pretty good look ut the robber and
having been appointed a Deputy
United States Marshal for the purpose
he started out for Malta to look him
up and return his hospitable treat.
menk He found his man in saloon,
and sitting down with him he proposed
game of cards and passed a pleasant
afternoon in his society, and purchased
LIQUID refreshmcnt on generous scale
for his fticnd until the proper moment
arrived, when he displayed trump
hand with six cartridges in il, and in.
| yited his companion Go take trip e
the falls with him. and the cowboy,
seeing that his opponent played q
strong hand and had the hest OF thr
game, owned up TO being beaten and
vent along.

4 few years ago The girls OF Tahiti
like those of Samoa, pass a great part
of their time disporting in the water.
In that soft climate of eternal sum-
mer. where there are no piercing
winds or noxious Insects or venomous
snakes, they live almost entirely ont
of doors. Formerly they went about
nearly naked, but as concession TO
the civilization which has made them
feel its power, they now wear simple
gowns of white muslin buttoned to
the neck, and flowing to the feet
Their lovely dark tresses are decorated
with the blossoms of the scarlet
hibiscus, and some of them wear
scarlet and white flowers in their
ears. the stems being thrust
through holes pierced in them.

peans wear fringed mats for skirts, and

To see a group Of these youthful
beauties disporting in some cool
stream, in the shade of an ancient
grove, is a sight never to be forgotten.
4 They are not afraid of spectators, al
though they no longer court attention
as in the old days These beauties are
not at all like the mulattresses OF
! Guadaloupe and Martinique, to whom
they are sometimes compared. They
are usually of the color of old ivory,
but some of them are as white
as any delicate city lady of the
North. Their pleasures are simple,
but their passions are strong. They
retain many OF their old superstitions,
and if any of the young men of the
islands wishes to please them he has
but to spend his evenings making
snares to catch the wild tropic bird
which has two long tail feathers o.
blood red. These feathers are highly
priced by the beauties for their rarity
and loneliness, as well as the fact thai
they were considered sacred in The
olden times rs offerings to the gods
ana were worn by chiefs only. They
live literally in perfumed bowers, to-

WONDERFUL NIAoARA.
some Noteworthy Facts About This
Great Excavation.


Great Excavation
Formerly the Canadian side Of the
Niagara Falls was U-shaped. which
caused the name Horseshoe Falls to
be given it. For the last ten or
dozen years. however. that side Of the
Falls has been Y-shaped instead Of
U-shaped, the change being eansed BY
a wearing away Of the ledge over
which the waters pour. On January
4, 1889, great displacement of rocks
again took place and now the Cana
dian side of the cataract is again
known as Horseshoe Falls. +"
It is pretty generally known that
the Falls of Niagara are moving to the
south A deep cut through the solid
rock marks the course they have taken
in their backward march. II is won
derful excavation, mighty canal dug
out By the sheer force of falling water.
Not less astonishing IS the removal of
all this debris. The rocks have been
/ thoroughly pulverized and swept out

The latest idea is that the Falls viii
! reeede two miles farther to the south
ward and then stop; that is as far as
the backward tendency is concerned.
The cause of this will be that at that
point a solid foundation for the lime.
stone ledge over which the waters
pour will be found, Two miles of a
wearing back will make the Falls only
eighty feet in height, instead Of $50
as a present.
