The Old Man.

"IchabOd, my boy. methOught l heard you
speak of your sire as the old man. You are Is
years of age are you not? just so! That is the
age when callOw youth has his first attack of the
big head. You imagine at this moment that you
know it ALL observe by the cut of your trOus-
ers, and the angle of your hat, and the flavor of
your breath, and the style of your toothpick
shoes, and the swagger of your walk that you
are badly gone on yourself. This is an error of
youth which your uncle can overlook, but it
pains him sorely to hear you speak in terms of
disrespect of one you should never mention save
by the sacred name of father
He may not be up to your style in the modern
art of making fool of himself, but ten to one,
he fOrgets more in week than you will ever
know. He may not enjoy smoking gutter-snipes,
chopped fine and enclosed in delicate tissue pa
per, but he has borne good many hard knocks
for your sake and is entitled tO.all the reverence
your shallow brain can muster. By and by after
you are through knowing it all and begin to learn
something, you will be ashamed to look into the
glass, and will wonder where the fool killer kept
himself when you were ripe for the sacrifice.
And when the old man grows tired of the
journey and stops to rest and you fold his hands
across his bosom and take a last look at face
that has grown beautiful in death you will feel a
sting of regret that you ever spoke of him in so
grossly disrespectful manner and when you
hear other sprouts of imbecility using language
that so delighted you in the germinal period of
manhood, you will feel like chasing them with a
sled stake and crushing their skulls to see if
there is any brain tissue on the inside. "-LiDcOli,

Vagrancy.

Some of our laws are very peculiar.
So peculiar as to render their peculiari-
ties, nonsensical absurdities. Let us
inspect the peculiarities of the vagrant
law. According to the law every stran
ger without means of support is va
grant. He may have been honest all
his life, but the law treats him as a
criminal when he becomes penniless
The police suspect any poorly dressed
stranger of being suspicious charac-
ter. AS soon as they suspect him, they
affirm their suspicion by arresting the
suspected for appearing suspicious.
He is brought before Justice charged
with vagrancy. He is found guilty of
being suspicious vagrant and SEN
fenced to the workhouse. He goes to
the workhouse suspect, he leaves the
workhouse vagrant. This is the pc
culiarity of the vagrant law. 1t makes
vagrancy crime. 1t sends the morally
sound vagrant to the wOrkhouse. The
vagrant leaves the workhouse posi-
BILE criminal. He is liable to arrest
again on the same charge. There is no
wisdom in the law. 1t is rather very
peculiarly absurd. &C.

The Life Of q Soldier.

The United States army is recruited
mostly in our large cities where recruit
ing depots are established. After en-
listing the recruit is sent to the nearest
rendezvous. He learns the rudiments
of the education of a soldier. After he
gets fair knowledge of his duties, he
along with the others is assigned to a
regiment. The precautions used en-
route are similar to those used in trans
fering prisoners. For he, by this time,
has made up his mind whether he will
serve or desert. About five out of seven
doing the latter. Arriving at his sta
ton he is promptly taken in hand. In
two weeks he is perfected in his drill.
In the mean time he performs the du-
ties of "kitchen police" assisting the
cook or room orderly" docking after
quarters). He is then carried on the
route for duty; guard mounting, dress
parade, target practice and fatigue soon
become old stories to him. AS to habits,
soldiers are the neatest lot of men you
will find anywhere. A sloven or dirty
man will either find his way to the

with scrubbing brushes. Gambling and
drinking are the vices, but neither are
as bad as has been painted. Amuse-
ment is of home production, all talent
is brought into requsition. Education
is furnished by the "schOol of instruc-
tion." library, and sometimes school.
Justice is of a rough type, an insolent
word to an officer ranks with murder in
civil life, with this difference, the first
is sure of conviction, the latter is al
ways doubtful. A soldier loses certain
rights of suffrage, except at his own
home: OF acquiring new place of
residence: Of signing contracts and
contracting debts: OF belonging to any
secret organization. But if some parts
of the soldiers life are hard. he has
some advantages. He is in the main
a contented man, but growls continu-
ally: man cannot be considered an
old soldier until he understands that
art. He may abuse a company for years,
but he will "take on again when his
enlistment expires. He who has served
five years always comes out better than
when he went in. And he has pleasant
memories of it afterwards. MAC.

That Fly.

How doth the little busy fly
Improve each shining hour,
And use his many sided eye
With microscopic power.
Doth knowledge that his shOrt'ning time
Is almost at close,
Now prompt the rascal oft to climb
Upon my jutting nose.
Is it indeed, or is it not,
Pure cusSedneSS that brings
Him, flying to my baldest spot,
TO clean and preen his wings?
He causeth me to slap in vain
The spot wherein he sat,
And where. know, he'll sit again
With Buzz! where am l at?
COnfOund that busy buZZing fly!
Not till toes up turns he.
In peace. aSSuredly, shall
OF itchinesS be free.

The Rock That Moses "Smote."

Ghe famous Rock in Horeb," an
GENTLY called the Rock of Nassau"
and at present known throughout the
orient as the Stone of the Miraculous
Fountain" being the identical rock
which Moses struck with his rod in or
der to give water to the children of
Israel, is religiously preserved and
guarded even down to this late date.
DR.. Shaw in his book, "Shaw's Trav-
els" page 352, says: sit is block of
granite about six yards square, lying
tottering and loose in the middle of
the valley of Rephidim, and seems to
have originally been part of Mount
Sinai" The action of the waters of
that miraculous fountain, as related in
the 18th chapter of Exodus, followed a
channel about inches deep and more
than twice that broad across the face
of the rock, this not upon unsupported
testimony, but upon the word of such
men as Rev. DIR. Shaw, DR.. Pocock,
Lieut.. Clogher and other eminent
scholars and travellers. M. Beaumgor-
ton, German nobleman who visited
the Crock of Horeb" in the year 1907,
declares his belief in the generally &C
cepted story of it being the rock of
Moses famous fountain. See Church

Which Was Provoked,
The Blow or Shot?

Lee Rine was murdered at 500 yes
terday afternoon in front of the Central
hotel and Lee Burton was an inmate of
the county Jail ten minutes later.
The street was crowded at the time
and though many persons saw the
shooting none appear to have noticed
the incidents Immediately preceding it..
Two pistol shots rang out in close
succession. One man was seen stand
ing in the gutter holding smoking re-
volver, another with his hand pressed
upon mis- stomach staggering wildly to-
ward the door of the Central hotel and
groaning, fell heavily to the floor. In
fifteen minutes he was dead. The MUIR
derer hastily crossed the sidewalk still
holding the pistol in his hand, and en-
tered the store of Goldberg Bros,
where he was met by Deputy Sheriff
Widmer, who relieved him of his
weapon and led him to Jail. On the
way he held his left arm as if it panied
him and said he had been struck with
a club.
In the meantime Drs. Woodruff and
Helm had been summoned to the
wounded man. A little red hole be-
meath the arch of the ribs and slightly
to the right showed the fatal character
of the wound and showed the victim
would soon be a subject for coroner's
inquisition.
The body was removed to the morgue
of Randall & Davis and Justice Kincaid
impaneled a jury, whose members
were: Gus Hirschfeldt, F. Fleisch-
man, Ben Block, F. G. Norris, Hy Nc
Donald, Henry George, E. CAM and
Leon Bouvier. The body was formally
viewed and the inquest was adjourned
until O'Clock tomorrow morning.
An autopsy made by DR.. Helm and
DR.. Woodruff last night disclosed that
the bullet entered inch below the arch
of the ribs and two inches on the right
OF the median line. 1t ranged downward

and preparing to erect homes. That
such investments will prove profitable
is absolutely certain. In Denver in the

with others which were held, are now
worth 81 900 and over. This was made
possible by the advent of the electric
