WHEN THE BELT RAN OFF.
How . FacetIous Western Drummer
Scared an Enclishman.

Scared an Enclishman.
There was a very gfeen Englisman
at Butte fity, Mont, who was talking
ahrdi purchasing land neal by for a
horse ranch, and as he strolled around
the depot the h~alf.dosen drumrnefs
who happened to meet there put up a
job on him. Ono Of them borrowed a
coat aud lat of a ranchero, took the
cartridges out of his revolver, and
with the weapon held aloft in his
hand be suddenly jumped into the
waiting-room and yelled:
"Whoop: I'm n cantankerous old
fighter frJm the headwaters of Fight
Ing creek. I'm half-bQss and half-alli-
gator? I'm do&f ST everything that
walks on two legs, partiesletly En-
%glishmen. Whar'e tHs bloody, bloomin'
Briton ~w'.d-aaalsd me.a liar?'@
What's the row about?" inquired
the Englishman as he came to n halt
and faced about
"WhooP' I've Atin three wars and
kept a graveyard of my OWL the rest of
the time" shouted the terror as he
a bo"h vi WI hldl
row-bones and beg my pardon if you
want to live two minutes longer"
Not if | know it:H drawled the
Briton, cool as ice, and he squared off
and landed a thumper on the drum
mer's nose, which piled him over
among the stocks of pelts and dazed
him SO that he couldn't speak for the
next five minutes. We had to hold
the foreigner" to keep him from fol-
lowing up. and when the drummer had
been sponged off and brought TO he
sat down on a baggage-truck and held
his nose and reflected for n long time.
Then he slowly remarked:
when you fellows get through be-
tickled perhaps you can explain at
just what stage of the game the belt
off."-Detroit Free Press.

Hushod was the moan Of midnight sky!
And mute the mourner's answering cry!
For whose the trembling note TO tell
Where lay the lost Emmanuel!
And what avail were bitter prayer
From hearts all numb with cold despair
And strength was spent-and hope had fed
And all was o'er-for He was dead
There was O morn whose opal haze
Shone glorious &itN Celestial rays;
Whose Om:non air was breath Divine
Whose every cloudlet was . shrine.
With music throbbed the ringing tide
With melody the mountain-side-
While every warbler heard his strain
Reechocd DER and DER again.
And tongues OF men: All! who can tell
What 1oy-what cries-what stammerings fell
From lips unloOsed, that sobbed tho word:

men dash out "a the direction taken
by Jack and his tvlathful pursuer
Having fresh animals and good ones,
the two men went over the plain like
the wind, steerin so as to strike In
ahead on a straight course.
"On dashed Jack and old Sam, now
close in by the foothills, and on flew
Ella, who was fast nearin her fa-
ther, when the three passed out of
sight behind the point of hill. The
two men who had cut across from
Jacks camp reached and passed
round the point of the hill almost at
the same moment.
The old man got to the edge of
the canyon while Jack was lookin
ior q way up out of the bottom of It.
He sung out to Jack to stop and dis
mount or he'd blow his head off.
Jack paid no attention, but started
to go upthe opposite slope. Of course
ne couldn't go straight up, so was
turned broadside by the time the old
man raised his gun. Just as he was
takin aim the girl dashed up.
Hold father, she cried. The old
man turned to look at her. Father,
I'm the one to do this shootinp 7 said
she, and laid hold of the rifle. The
old man let oof the gun, too s'prised
at her bein there to know what he
was about, guess. Then the girl
leveled it, and called out to Jack to
stop. He stopped, held open the
breast of his coat and nodded to her
to fire. Then she blazed away,
"At the crack of the rifle down
went the mare and Jack, but as they
fell Jack managed to throw himself
off on the uphill side, and there he
lay, while the mare rolled over and
over down the hill Then the gal
charged down the hill and was soon
at Jacks side.
"It seems she shot to kill the man,
and aimed all right, but a move of
the beast brought Jacks leg in the
way and she sent a bullet through
his thigh. But luckily it was only a
flesh wound-the bone wasn't touch
ed. 1t would have bin a devillsh
sight wus for Jack if the old man had
done the shootin, and the galknowed
it mighty well. Old Sam seemed well
satisfied when he seed jist how Jack
had been plugged. seed him kinder
smile when his back was turned to
Jack, and hurd him mutter somethin
about one shot for the honor of the
house of Harl'
And so it was, for that's Jack

Resolved, That the resolution present
ed to this Board by the Board OF TRADE,
urging action on the part Of. the city au-
thorlties to ascertain whether the ACT
of March rs, 1852, authorizing the taking
of water from the Passalc River to sup
ply this city, ~confers upon the Mayor
and Common Council OF Jersey City q
right to have the water of the Passaic
River preserved from contamination, be
received and spread Upon the minutes.
BY President Jonsg on behalf OF the
Resolved, That the Corporation Coun-
sci be and hereby is requested to furnish
this Board at its next meeting a written
opinion as to whether the authority given
to the Board of Finance in Sections 12S
of the City Charter, relative to theSkm-
ployment of such agents as may be neces-
sary for the discharge Of its duties and
to fix their compensation, extends To
the employment of experts to furnish
scientific or technical information which
the Board may require to enable 1T to
before it for concurrent action; and If
such authority is not conferred in said
section, whether 1t is conferred else
where in the City Charter.
By President Jones on behalf of the
Committee of the Whole:
Whereas, The Board of Aldermen, the
elected representatives of the people OF
this city and the legislative branch of
the city government, did, on September
25th, 1894, adopt a preamble and resolu-
tons declaring 1t to be the sense OF
that Board that the city should at once
proceed to maintain it's right to draw
water in a state of natural purity from
the Passaic River, according to the terms
of the Act authorizing the construction
of the Jersey City water works against
all i~nfringers Of said right; and
Whereas, The Board of Trade of this
city has in like manner urged that pro-
ceedings be at once taken by the city
authorities to ascertain If the right 10
have the water of Fassaic River preserv-
ed from contamfnatfOn is a constituent
part of the franchise granted to Jersey
City in said Act passed March 10Th
1852; and
whereas, 1t is evident that if said
right exists, as a part of said FRANCHISE
SO granted to this city or otherwise,
the failure to enforce it will be in effect
a waiver and remuneration thereof, and
will Of necessity involve the n
ment of the present water supply drawn
from the Passaic River at Belleville,
and also as a probable the
! placing Of the water service under the
administration of a separate, private cor
| poration incapable of exercising ponce
| power to protect the sources Oh supply
from pollution; therefore
Resolved, That we that an
! expert legal opinion be obtained from
eminent legal counsel as to the existence
dermen of Jersey City to have the
water of Passaic River within the limits
| named in the said Act of March 25th,
| 1852, preserved from contamination, ano
as to the proper steps to be taken TIC
enforce such right, if such right eX-
lists and is enforceable against the in
| fringers thereof; and
Resolved, That a copy of these resolu-
lions be sent to His Honor the Mayor.
the Board of Aldermen and the Boaro
| of Street and Water Commissioners.
On motion of Mr.. Simpson the Boaro
then adjourned.
