DELIGHTFULLY."- ROMANTIC.
A Stage Held Up and a Maid Carried Off
by a Good Looking Bad Man.

by Good Looking Bad Man.
Aromatic case of kidnapping occurred
the other day in the country back of
Mazatlan. The stage between Rosario
and Mazatlan, which left the former
place, stopped at a. ~. the next day at
Aqua Caliente, where another passenger,
a young and pretty girl, was taken on.
She was Carlotta Newman, daughter Of
poor blind woman living at Mazatlan.
There were two other passengers, man
and woman.
The stage left Aqua Caliente at ga. m.
and had gone only couple Of leagues
when the driver suddenly refined up at
call from the roadside, where four men
on horseback sat coolly pointing re-
volvers at his head. There was no de-
mand for coin, and from the quiet man.
ner of the highwaymen the driver could
draw no idea of the nature Of their de-
mands. While one man held gun
pointed at the driver and another at
tended the horses the others dismounted,
stepped to the end Of the coach and
courteously requested the young lady to
come out. The girl recognized the larger
man, magnificent looking fellow, as
Jose Valdez, her rejected lover, and di-
vining the plot she begged the passengers
to save her. Valdez warned them to do
nothing, and as they had no firearms
they dared not protest against the &C
tions of the bold robbers.
After urging Miss Newman to come
out without avail, Valdez and his COM
panion laid hold of her and carried her
to the horses, placing her upon one and
tying her to the saddle. The girls
shrieks and tears had no effect either in
hurrying the men or arousing their
anger. When they were again mounted
and ready to leave, Valdez turned to the
driver and said calmly, $50, friend,
and excuse me for molesting you."
The driver lost no time in accepting
the permission, and the agitated passen-
gers inside did not breathe easily until
they saw the party, with the girl in the
center, gallop over hill. The driver
and passengers reported the matter on
arriving at Mazatlan and gave the
names of Librado and Bernardo Valdez
and Rufno Zatarain as the acconplices
of Jose Valdez, the first two being his
cousins.
Valdez is dare devil and spendthrift,
and though of good family bears q very
bad reputation. He was rejected by Miss
Newman, who is a highly respected girl
of American birth. The project of the
district Of Concordia, in which Aqua Ca
liente is situated, has charge of party
of rurales searching for Valdez, and
strong efforts are being made to capture
the villain. His hiding place is unknown.
News of her daughters capture pros

The BLINDNESS OF VANITY.

One day q monkey CHANGED to look
In the clear water of a brook,
Which, like mirror, served to trace
The features of his ugly face.
Astonished at the novel sight,
He cried aloud: Sure, such fright
ne'er before have CHANGED to see
In all my lifel What can it be2
If had such foolish look
AS this strange monster of the brook
although of course he's not to blamel
I'd drown myself for very shamei
But, thanks to natures partial grace,
I've got different sort of face"
Just as the incident occurred,
A bear was passing by and heard
The monkeys prattle-every word.
"Comel'' said the latter, who espied
His clumsy neighbor at his side.
"This way moment; just look here
And see brute SO very queer
You'll laugh yourself to death-at least
1 never saw so strange o BEAST"
The bear replied: pray, look again.
TITS your own image, full and plain,
That scare5 You SO; the ears alone
Would make the picture surely known
AS yours, beyond the least dispute.
Ills clearly no outlandish brute,
But your own portrait, full and plain,
In every part. Pray, look againl"
In anger now the monkey spoke:
"Of course bear must have his joke,
But pray be honest and admit
Though it may hurt your pride biD
The image in the water there
Is yours; it is not mine, l swearl'
MORAL:
To fail their faults to recognize,
However plain to others eyes,
Is (here's the moraD mistake
That men as we'll as monkeys make.

To Es Determined at Leisure.

A Milwaukee heiress was introduced
to a young man the other day and re-
marked that she did not like the cut of
his whiskers. He offered to shave them
off if she would marry him, and she i'm
mediately consented. AS soon as the
barber and the minister could get In
their deadly work, the twain were made
one. There may be a moral in this
story for rich maidens or hirsute bach
elors, but we don't know where to find
it. Those interested, however, may
study it out at their leisure. -St. Paul

The Cheeky Drummer Catches Two Di-
vines On q Simple Proposition.

The Cheeky Catches Two Di-
vines an q Simple Proposition.
Abashed at nothing, a commercial
traveller in the south once p~ropounded a
question to "a couple of clergymen,
whom he encountered on a railroad
train, which illustrates how easily a
man may be tripped on a simple little
catch problem. The drummer entered
into a conversation with the minis
tiers and entertained them amazingly
with his brilliant conversation, touch
ing men and affairs. Gradually the top
les changed. until at last the talk was
of DR.. Talmage and his visit to the
Holy Land.
Speaking of the Holy Land, said
the graceless commercial man, II was
quite interested to read in a New York
paper recently that a party of explorers
in Palestine had discovered a huge heap
of bones, which, from their size and
quantity, are supposed to be of the chill
dren which Herod ordered killed. They
were found in a cave, which had been
closed for centuries, which accounts for
their p~reserVatiOn.'
''Indeed!!' replied one of the clergy
men, much interested. Il had not
heard Of it. 1t is certainly a surpris-
ing discovery
Yes" continued the drummer,
and, oddly enough, while nearly half
of the bones We're bleached white, the
rest were as black as ebony"
"Remarkable.' calculated the cler-
gyman who had already spoken. while
the other looked at the drummer sus-
piciously.
What is your theory:' he contin-
ued. DO you think it possible that
the bleached bones could be males
and the black of females:'
"PosSibly. replied the more COM
municative clergyman, Il am not an
anatomist, however, and can't say what
effects long exposure has on the bone
of the sexes.
And you," persisted the drummer
to the other. "What is Your opinion?
Do you think it possible that the white
bones belong to male infants and the
black to female. or vice versa? That is
the problem that now excites the dis
coverers.'
REALLY, replied the other, Il don't
know; but, possibly, as you first put it,
the white bones may be of the male
children, and the black of the female
Shortly after this the Clergymen
reached their destination and left the
train. Just as it was about moving of
the drummer, who had been %chuckling
to himself the meanwhile, thrust into
the hand of n a card, upon which was
written the words:
Excuse me if | suggest that you
read your Bibles hereafter with greater
care. Had you done so in the past, you
would have known that boy babies only
were ordered slain by Herod. New

Ivory Carving In China and Japan.

In China and Japan ivory has been
carved. the ivory balls inclOsed inside

Many theories have been formed as to
how these balls have been cut. Perhaps
a probable II is that a ball Of ivory
was taken. around the upper and lower
ends of which four small holes We're
carved ont, gradually diminishing i'll
size toward the center until the axis OF
the one hole met the axis Of the other
or lower one at right angles in the cen
ter of the ball, and that then small
tools were inserted, and a thin layer of
ivory, forming "a part OF a circle from
one hole to its lower corresponding one,
was cut and loo>cncd from the whole
mass. Sc, gradually cutting from one

GOOD INDIAN CROW DOG.
His Escape and Return After He Had Been
Sentenced to Death.


Judge A. J. Plowman CT Deadwood.
S. d., attained national renown in 1888
when he defended Crow Dog for the
murder of Spotted Tail. The memory
of Mr.. Plowman's pluCky legal fight,
in which he carried that celebrated
case to the United States supreme court
and secured the aCquittal Of his red
skinned cllont when the hanginan's
moose was about TO tighten around the
neck of the condemned prisoner, still
lives in the minds of the legal frater-
nlty throughout the west.
In speaking of the matter Judge
Plowman related an incident of the
trial which has never before appeared
in public print.
"Attcr Crow Dog had been sentenced
to be hanged. said the eminent jurist,
Il went to Washington to lay the case
before the supreme court Of the United
States. instituted habeas corpus pro-
cecdings to secure his release on the
question Of jurisdiction. While in the
nations capital was surprised to re-
ceive "A telegram announcing that Crow

There are 100 different varieties Of
memory. and perhaps we cannot alto

though every sort. when we have the
germs Of it, may be cultivated.
To learn anything by heart the best
plan is 10 read a sentence and repeat 1t

EarIy Ideas A about Hair.

All the ancient philosophers held
curious ideas respecting the growth.
functions. structure. etc, of the hair
and had many superstitions founded on
these old opinions. The early writers
on the makeup Of the human body al
most invariably refer to the hair as be

generated in the t%uliginons parts Of
the blood; was exhaled by the heat Of
the body, becoming firm and fibrous
upon being exposed to the air. just as
the fluid of the spider web does. In

ceives its nutriment from the body.
True. they take upon themselves the ma
ture of parasitic plants; they grow az
vegetation does. vet each has, as 1t
were, a distinct life and economy.
That they derive their exlstenc" from
the juices of the body there is no doubt,
hut that food is not taken from the
nutritious juices. for we know that hair
/ will thrive even though the body starve
, or be wasted Ivy diseaor, or even after
the animal life has ceased to exist in
the flesh or skin to which they are at
