There is a story of Carlyle in his old
age having taken the following fare
well in his broadest Scotch of a young
friend who had had him in charge for
walks, and who while almost always
adapting himself to Carlyle's mood had
on a single occasion yentured to dis
agree with him, II would have you to
know, young man, that you nave the
capacity Of being the greatest bore in
Christendom. The boredom had con-
sisted solely in the rather negative sin
of not having been convinced of the
truth of one of Carlyle's dogmas, a sin
all the more heinous because, instead of
standing boldly up to Carlyle and de-
claring his doctrine utterly perverse,
the companion had betrayed his weak
ness by an apologetic tone.
Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and he
respected antagonists, but he could not
endure being merely thwarted without
being thoroughly reused. He felt in
that case that he had made no impress
sion at all on his interlocutor; that he
had neither won him nor excited him
to resistance. And nothing bored him
SO much as that. OF course it is only
exceptionally despotic minds that are
bored in this way. London Spectator.

dition, usually tied to a tree or post He
would then cut tks:E aesh in small strips
and stab them in every manner and place
conceivable Then, not content with their
torture, he would pour sea water over
them. After time he would finish his
fiendish work by killing them. 1t was a
desire to see blood, over which he had no
control and which came to him from birth
His father worked at the abattoir at
Brighton. Each day his mother would
carry her husbands S dinner to him and
stand for hours and watch them kill cat
tie, hogs and sheep.
Some years after Pomeroy had been con-
fined the warden of the state prison gave
him small kitten, hoping to thus give
him companion that would help to
shorten and brighten the long hours
Pomeroy had the kitten just one week
when one morning on entering his cell the
guard found that Pomeroy had skinned
the little animal alive. Since that time
he has been allowed absolutely nothing.
Pomeroy's sentence of death was COM
muted to life imprisonment on the condi-
tion that he should not be allowed to work
with the other prisoners or even see a hui
man face other than that of his keeper and
mother, she being allowed to see him only
at long intervals. To add further to his
punishment and isolation his cell door
was blocked with granite, thereby cutting
off even the view of the cell corridor, and
audience with him could only be gained
through another cell, which was kept va
can't and used for this purpose only. In
all these 90 years the conditions have been
carried out.
The Globe reporter was the first outsider
who has been inside Pomeroy's cell for
years. The prisoner seemed pleased to see
him, but would not talk freely. He re-
fused to speak of his crimes, but talked of
his books and of what he was going to do
when he got out Of prison He evidently
lives in expectation of pardon. He says
his close confinement is unconstitutional
and wishes he might have an opportunity
to argue his case in the courts.
The officers look lightly upon all his at
tempts to escape. He does it for merely
deyiltry, they say and has not brains
enough or sufficient courage to make his
way to the outside Of the prison should he
once get from his cell. However, he is
cunning, they admit, ana keeps them on
the watch the greater part of the time
Every week an officer goes through every
nook and corner of his cell, takes his bed
to pieces and overhauls everything in the
room. At times they find pieces of wire,
steel, iron and other triiing things which
are of no use to him, but which he treas
ures and guards as carefully as if they
were some day to be the means of his es-
cape. And so the story Of his prison life
goes on. Day after day month after
month and year after year he sits in his
cell and thinks and plans. Since 1875 he
has had only to eat, drink, sleep, write,
think and try to escape. Some day, he
says. he will succeed, but If he does get
from the prison without an officer seeing
him he will have to run the gantlet Of
bullets for the orders are that he shall be
shot without hesitation If he once gets
into the yard.

ArHEM WAS HIS SENTIMENTS.


And the Old unreconstructed Confedsrate
Took Palms to Make Them Known.
Very many of the early settlers Of
| Montana were natives OF Missouri, Ken
tucky, Arkansas and the border states
OF the war, They came by the Missouri
river to Fort Benton or by coach from
Omaha and for many years were in the
majority at elections, when they held
the flag of Democracy to the masthead
The result of this immigration was
strong sentiment for the confederacy In
the early days, and in 1878, when Gen
eral Phil Sheridan and staff made an
official visit to the northwestern posts,
the sentiment had not disappeared.
Helena, Mon, was just emerging from
the garb of mining camp. but a few
enterprising citizens with Ex-Governor
Hauser at the head determined to give
q fitting reception to the visitors. A
delegation met Sheridan and his party
in stagecoach several miles from the
town and escorted them to the leading
hotel. On the following afternoon a
banquet was given in the First National
bank, located then in the present gam.
bling district.
The menu consisted mostly of canned
goods, jack rabbit meat and fresh game,
because the town was remote from civ
ilization. There was, however, plenty
Of champagne, since that wine is usu-
ally found in mining camps even when
nothing in the way OF food is left but
-four. The gathering was very demo-
cratic. Everybody in town was invited
to see Little Phil, though there was
much grumbling among the unrecon-
structed Confederates over the display
made for Union general. There were
lawyers and mining camp politicians
mingled with gamblers, miners and ex-
road agents, many of whom wore six
shooters at their belts. Among them
was one old time Confederate soldier,
who had turned his talents from the
chivalry of war TO dealing bank" He
was restless and uncomfortable during
the feast, and when the toasts began
this restlessness increased. His face
darkened and his eyes famed with an
ger as various toasts were given to the
United States, the president Of the
United States and the army OF the
United States.
Finally he could stand it no longer.
He arose with a wineglass in one hand
and six shooter in the other, and in a
voice hoarse with rage shouted:
Here's to all mankind, 80 that no
id fool will be overlooked.
With tina: he dashed the wineglass on
the floor and emptied the six shooter
into the ceiling so that the room was
filed with smoke. The guests reached
for their reyolyers, but the gambler,
with look of contemptSretnrned his
gun" to his pocket and walked out.
General Sheridan afterward said that
1t was one of the most dramatic and
suggestive scenes in all his experience.

The Precise Conductor.

Detroit has street car conductor who
ought to be fnicky old maid or pro-
fessional facetiousist. The other morning
a young woman In the car beckoned for
him, and he came readily, for he is polite
and prompt.
"Can leave the car at the next streetf'
she inquired.
.You'll have to, miss" he responded.
1t wasn't the end of the line, and she
didn't understand. Neither did she like be
ing told she would have to leave the car.
"What did you sayW she inquired. with
a reddening face.
Il said you would have to leave the car,
miss"
swell, guess won't unless l want to,"
she said in very evident indication of rising
temper.
Where do you wish to goi" asked the
conductor, perfectly calm.
1.-TWO blocks down that cross street,
The conductor smiled softly.
Then you will have to leave the car,
miss, for don't see how you can possibly
take it with you," and he rang the bell for
the crossing. and the girl hadn't time to
stay and have it out with him. Detroit

4 FAN in Indiananolis.

81 once saw President Harrison in o
very undignified position, said John G.
Hunter, an Indianapolis travelling man.
indianapolis was one of the first cities
afflicted by the roller skating craze. A
young man named Fenton, living there,
was the inventor of the contrivance,
and he soon had the city wild. Russell
caught the infection and became an ex-
pert. One night he prevailed upon his
father to visit the rink. The future
president looked on the maze Of skaters
gliding over the smooth floor 1t seemed
easy enough. He was a famous ice
skater in his boyhood. and like most
others believed that a man who could
keep his head off the surface of frozen
pond could not be easily downed. He
secured pair of skates, examined them
critically and looked irresolute. In
those days the man who hesitated was
lost. Half dozen ladies-old, young
and middle aged -pirouetted about him
on wheels and urged him to the trial.
''An attendant had his feet chained
down to the starmakers before he
hardly realized it. He struck out with
his left, followed with his right, and did
amazingly well. 1t was no trick after
all! But he got no fartaer. One foot
shot ont to the east; the other made
Columbian voyage of discovery to the
west. They circled around each other
like an erratic comet chasing its tail,
and the future hone Of the nation came
down with a crash that made the gas
jets flicker In less than three seconds
half of Indianapolis was on top of him.
and his head was just visible peering ont
from the wilderness of striped hosiery
and crushed hats. He sat up when he
got an opportunity, removed the skates
went over to the attendant, handed him
the offending rollers with polite bow
and walked out That was his first visit
to the rink and his last. st. Louis
