BILLINGS PROTEST.

Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
LORDSBURCi. y. NJ, March 90 --"Rustv"
Billings has been for five years one of
the toughest men on the border and a
thorn III the side Of both Mexican and
American officers of the peace. His prin-
cipal occupation has been horse and cat
tie stealing, and during these five years
he has driven hundreds upon hundreds
Of these animals away from their right
fnl owners. He would carry OH his dep
relations on one side of the line until
things began to get hot, when he would
skip across to the other side and begin
operations there. Then by the time he
had stirred up two or three hornets nests
in that region things would have quieted
down across the border, and over he
would so again. In this way he crossed
and recrossed the line many times year,
sometimes bobbing up in new hunting
grounds and sometimes reappearing in
the old.
Everybody knew what Rusty's voca-
ton was, but nobody ever saw him in
the act and lived to tell the tale. And
as he would shoot at any time on slight
provocation and seldom missed what he
shot at, most people were careful not to
say much on suspicion. Just how many
notches he had on the butt of his revolv-
or nobody knew, the popular estimate
ranging anywhere from five to fifteen.
But Rusty's downfall came at last.
Not long ago he wanted pig and helped
himself to the first desirable one he saw
Piggy didn't want to go, and through his
obstinacy and protestations it came about
that Rusty was caught unawares AMI
nabbed on the spot. He has just stood
trial on tho charge of stealing the pig
and has been sentenced to seven years in
the penitentiary. When the Judge asked
him if he had anything to say why sen
tence should not be pronounced against
him, he got up, with look of disgust ON
his face, and said:
Judge, this is pretty tough! Here
I've been stealing horses and cattle for
the last five years, and I've stolen horses
by the drove and cattle by the herd and
killed six men in the meantime, and
now here | am to be sent to the peniten
tiary for stealing one poor, little, ornery
hogl It's disgrace, that's what it is!
wouldn't care if it was for one of the
killin's I've done-even one of them
greasers-but for stealing n hog! Judge,
you oughtn't to expect man of honor
to stand it" But Rusty had to stand it,
after all, and today was taken to the pen.

bulge out with surprise. But l will let
them pass and tell of two costumes that
were at once highly novel and original
ms we'll as pretty. One of them was q
dull indigo blue surah, with a band of
black russian lace set over gold colored
satin and bordered with fur. The waist
and cuffs were covered with lace, but
the bertha and sleeves were of gold col
ored satin.
The other was pelsse costume of
terra Gotta ladies' cloth, closely fitting at
the waist and reaching to the feet, devoid
of all trimming. There was a cape of
garnet velvet cut in simple circle from
the neck to the waist Over this was n
shawl shaped cape or pelerine braided
with fine black soutache. This pclerinc
had the bias edge folded in as if it was
little double shawl whose ends met In
front at tho bottom of the cape 1t
made very quaint but effective outfit.
When long pelissc like this is worn it
Ia rarely expected that the garment be
removed in a short visit, and the very
bost dressers do not like to put a fine
dress on beneath it, as these long gar.
ments crush all the freshness ont of n
gown i'll couple of times wearing. So
the pelisse is economical.

"Take 1t Aisy."

One cannot travel in Ireland without
perceiving that tho so many horsepower
and perpetual catching Of trains theory
of life is not one that is accepted by the
Irish people, and do not think it ever
will be. Their religion, their traditions,
their chief occupations, their tempera-
ment, all of which suppose are closely
allied, are opposed to it.
The saying, "Take it aisy. and If you
can't take 1t aisy take it as aisy as you
can," doubtless represents their theory
of life, and, for my part, If it were q
question either of dialectics or of NOR
ais, would sooner have to defend that
view Of existence than the so many
horsepower one So far from wise man
getting all he can out Of himself in one
direction, he will, it seems to me, rig
idly and carefully abstain from doing
so in the interests of that catholic and
harmonious development which requires
that he should get little out OF him
self in every direction.
One would not like to assert that the
bulk of the Irish people are "harmo-
niously developed. But neither, il l
may be permitted to say SO, are the
English or the Scotch people, and as
in reality all three probably err by lob
sided activity or lobsided inactivity, 1t
still remains to be seen whether too
much perpetual catching Of trains or too
much taking it "aisy" is, ON the whole,
the wiser course and the less insane in

promptly as possible. When asked on
one occasion what she meant by this
reservation, she said, with laugh;
"Well, once in awhile Mr. Williams
