trated Had not Hughes been regarded as
such a desperate man, the posse would have
approached within short range and brought
matters TO "A speedy conclusion. As it was,
a detachment was sent TO the fort at the
station TO ask for piece of artillery, while
the others kept up fire all through the
night
Meanwhile during the night the be-
leaguered men kept up their courage by
shouting unpleasant names at the posse and
firing random shots that had "A vicious

Next morning all was still quiet, and on in

he made certain gestures ut the posse in a

posse, had long range buffalo gun. While

London to Have One Which Will Over
top the Paris Giant.
Sir Edward W. Watkin, railroad
president and promoter of England,
has found that the financial fe itures
of the Eiffel tow r-thlt is. the
amount of income derived thcref ON
justifies the construction OF SINH ar
edifice i'm London, and has made the
contracts for a steel tower to DC erect
ed in one of the parks Of London. this
to have a height, including the base,
of over 1900 feet. The tower part
proper will be over $50 feet higher
than the Eiffel tower, and the con-
struction will vary in number of re-
spects from that notab' structure
AS an income-earning investment the
Eiffel tower has proved q wonderf IL
success. Every stranger who has dur
ing the last two years visited Par has
considered his stay incomplete if he
has not assembled to tie OBJ of t3at
monument, and the view afforded from
that elevation has certainly justified
the trouble and expense. There is lit
tie doubt, in spite of the more cloudy
and foggy atmosphere of London, that
a high tower there will command
large patronage, and it is not improb-
able that the structure of similar
kind in several of our great Anne lean
cities would pay largely on the cost of
building them.

How a Boy Was Rendered Wretched by
Gray Cloth Gloves.
There was q wretched boy coming
down town on New York street car
the other morning. He was about 1G
years old and was accom- panied by a
neat and thrifty-looking mamma. He
himself had a well-scrubbed, well-fed
appearance, but intense gloom over
spread his youthful countenance, and
he kept his hands thrust deep in the
pockets of his overcCat.

And Sammy wouli reluctantly drag
out pair of hands clothed in gray
cloth gloves. which gave his digital
extremities an appearance strikingly
like those of kid bodied doll. Final
ly he slid his hands out of his gloves
and left them in his pockets.
Sammy said his mo her. severely,

half of the County Relief Band.
Much has been done but much more
is needed. Think of men, women and
children out on the prairie with the
mercury thirty below zero, half naked,
and little fuel. The secretary Of the
society, Mrs. Pearce, wants us to make
an urgent appeal for more help; and
if we could use language to reach
your hearts wo would gladly do it.
Go through your closets, wardrobes
and bureaus again, find something
you can do without, make sacrifice
for the sake of humanity if for no
higher motive. Ladies, turn out to
the band meeting, held at The Morris
every Monday afternoon, and learn
of the distress prevailing in the
surrounding county. Supplies for
women and boys are most needed at
present.
