Couldn't Fool the Boy.

DR.. Hanford, of New York State, was
much annoyed by small boy peddling
peanuts, who called frequently at his
office One morning the doctor saw
the boy coming with his basket of
peanuts, evidently steering in his direc-
ton. Above his office desk was a case
containing skeleton, which for con-
venience was so arranged that by a
slight pressure the man of bones came
out into the room as natural as life
AS the boy opened the door and yelled,
peanuts" the doctor, without looking
around. pushed the button, and the
grinning skeleton promptly responded.
With one scream the boy dropped his
basket and fed. The kind-hearted
doctor picked up the basket and has
tened after the fleeing boy, who was
half block away. Here. boy, come
and get your peanuts" cried the doc
tor With one scared look over his
shoulder the frightened boy replied:
Not much: know you if you have
got your clothes on."--California Be

travelling around out west, but I never
met any. The idea that five or six we'll
beeied men are going to submit to be
cleaned out by one if there's a show to
stop him is all bosh. It's all in the
man and his way of doing business. If
he's got voice with O sort of laugh to
tiff he's got gnn IN either hand and
keeps 'em moving about like the heads
of snakes travelling through the grass
e his eyes seem to be looking right
through you and watching every body

Of yourself"
You mean give up your boodle?"
Exactly, and don't be too long about
it, either, for those chaps are always in
hurry. These newspaper men seem
to imagine that the passengers in a
coach sit with revolvers in their hands
throughout the trip. Their guns are
right down in their hind pockets, of
course. Give 'em five minutes to get
ready and they'd clear the road, but
they don't have five seconds When
you get the hail you know you're COW
cred. Only one man-the one next to
the door-could do any shooting, any
how, and he'd be more apt to miss than
to hit. What then? Why, the robber
would turn loose and kill or cripple
everybody inside quicker'n you could
count You've probably noticed limp
in my gait? That comes from bullet
/ got in my left knee when the Dead
wood stage was held up by Wyoming
Charlie 1t was in the afternoon and
there were six of us. A tenderfoot had
the seat by the window, and he thought
he'd show his sand by opening fire with
his pop. The robber wasn't fifteen feet
away, and the idiot had three shots at
him without a touch. The shooting
made him mad, and he began firing
right and left into the stage. He killed
two men and wounded the other four,
and all of us were robbed besides The
tenderfoot was one of the killed, and
can't say / was ever sorry about it"
II think 1 remember reading that
Wyoming Charlie was killed while
holding up a stage somewhere out
west"
''Yes, down near Plum creek, in Ne
braSks. and it was curious how it came
about There were seven passengers
and one of 'em was a woman-the wife
of cattle man. She was with the
driver on top. Charlie took the outfit
at turn in the road and made COM
plete surprise. He got the men out and
in line, and when his back was turned
the woman fired at him with a D erin
ger. Her bullet passed through his
hat, and as he wheeled about to see
what was going on one of his own guns
was accidentally discharged and the
bullet entered his groin. saw him at
Plum creek before he died. He was a
tough looking customer and even in
dying he boasted of the number of men
he had killed. l forget his figures, but
everybody was willing to believe he
had killed full dozen. He'd been
robbing for year or so and had several
thousand dollars planted somewhere
along the Niobrara river. If he had

when he found he was going over the

that her husband afterwards got the
money. Queer, wasn't it. being as she
brought about his death, but he didn't

Not few of the old writers on his
torical and geographical oddities refer
to Rome as the "Nameless City," and
mention the curious fact that at one
time it was inviting the death penalty
to pronounce its ancient and mysteri-
Gus name" The Greek form of that
ancient name is Rome, just as we pro-
nounce it to-day, and was first used by
either Aristotle or Theophrastus, the
various authorities differing somewhat
on that immaterial point. The mys-
terious name as it would be pronounced
in English is believed to have been Va

WHILE THEY SLEEP.

He giveth while they sleep
To His beloved streng tn;
The nerves that tire, the eyes that weep
Wake calm and clear at length
His angels come with healing hands
For all our loss and pain;
Life's empty cruise, that broken stands
They mend and fill again.
At morn free mounts the thought
That, wearied, earthward fell:
Plain looks the task we vainly wrought
But how we cannot tell.
The somber-curtained night
With silence-guarded hour,
Has held mid waves Of starry light
The hiding Of His power.
Lay anxious thoughts aside;
Gods ways are not like ours.
Look how His gifts unchanged abide
The air, the light, the flowers!
At night though victory be unwon
And many fears will creep,
Just take thy rest, o toiling onei

Practically the company has not only
had TO increase It's railroad mileage about
60 per cent. but 1t has had to rebuild"
This statement will bear careful perusal.
You will find that within Ave years the
company laid III of $50 pounds steel rails,
zoo miles of 6315-pound rails ard l53 miles
of 6l16-pound rails. Its locomotives, with
cylinders of II to 20 inches. were increased
from 81 to 1856, aud on the $50 miles OF road
that it owned In 1887 it laid 1888 feet of
iron bridges besides making many other
important improvements Now you will
notice that these items given in the Alexan-
der table are not included in the
statement of expenditures furnished
b. the receiver, except such
as may be covered by the construction and
equipment Of the Savannah aud Western
railway and the car trust notes to March
/. These items should also be noticed. The
ventilated box cars increased from 20 to
l, l45 and the freight cars, all kinds, from
1892 to 1896, or total increase of 4, Ill
freight cars, besides passenger cars. From
these figures it is inevitable that the Gen.
trail duriog the five years preceding July,
1891, not only earned its interest and Fixed
charges nor only earned its full dividend,
but also $40, 600 as shown by the receiver
expended in the purchase Of the property
included in his statement, and hundreds
of thousands OF dollars worth Of property
given in Gen. Alexander's statement
Under these circumstances quite agree
with your editor that the junior security
holders, therefore, should study carefully
the Central's condition before going into
any plan Of reorganization.
Now, have not given you these figures
through any desire to become involved in
any controversy. On the contrary. l should
be glad 70 see all interests haFmonized, aud
