DETECTIVE AND TRAMP.

The Onieer Feeds q Famishing Vagabond
and Gets No Thanks.
There was in the tramp's appearance
a suggestion Of the lethargy that follows
a gorging with free lunch and copious
libations Of beer that belied his piteous
story of not having had anything TO eat
"since yesterday morning." The shades
Of night were falling fast, and that may
have to some extent accounted for the
mistake Of the bum in selecting as the
object of his whining appeal McCluslzy,
one of the best known of the Central
office detectives, who was "sleuthing
it, along the Bowery.
"You are shy dinner and supper for
yesterday and breakfast, dinner and
supper today. Come with me-" said
McClusky, and he led the way into a
greasy little beanery from the door Of
which hung dingy sign announcing
regular meals, 8 cents" Had the va
grant known what was in store for him
he would have never crossed the thresh-
old except under forcible persuasion.
"Give this man his yesterdays dinner, "
said McClusky.
A slice of boiled beef, a boiled potato,
two slices of bread and a cup of muddy
coffee were soon set up. Slowly the
tramp attacked the meal, and McC Clusky
waited. When the dishes were clean,
the detective beckoned to the waiter and
said:
Bring the gentleman last nights
supper.
The order was repeated. The tramp
began to suspect something, but he
thought it the better to act his part.
Perhaps his eccentric benefactor would
give him the price of bed. Vain hope
The supper disposed of, McClusky or
dered "the gentleman's breakfast.
"see here, pardy, never eats but one
meal day." the latter demurred.
1T is not enough. You told me you
were starving, and of an officer of the
New York police force it shall never be
said that he allowed q fellow man tC
starve." " And the detective displayed
his badge.
"Supposin I won't eat?" said the
tramp sullenly.
"Then you take a ride. See?"
The trapped bum saw, and he ate his
breakfast, and then in great agony he
managed to dispose of his dinner. Ma.
ture would stand no more.
FSee here, pardy, couldn't eat any
more, not if I got two years for it, 4" he
pleaded in genuine distress.
McClusky had had his fun, and he
excused his victim the supper. As the
tramp rolled torpidly out of the place
he paused at the door, and with a mur
derous CLEAN in his eye said hoarsely,

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
A Young Lady Who Had Narrow Escap,
From Conviction.

A Young Lady Who Had Narrow Escape
From Conviction.
"Stories of conviction on circumstan-
tial evidence are rife in the lawbooks
and have afforded the plot of many a
novel;" said J. s. Haberling Of New
York, "a very sad case, not of con-
viction, but almost as bad in its results,
occurred in New York recently. A
young lady Of refinement, stranger in
the city, obtained employment as gov
erness in gentleman's family. One of
her pupils, a girl Is years old, lost a
diamond ring. 1t was found in the
desk of the governess. She declared
she had not seen it since it was last on
the girls hand, but she was hustled off
to the Tombs, and unable to give bond
was kept there several days, exposed to
the companionship of the most depraved
of her sex. She was taken to court in
the Black Maria with negress and a
white woman, both convicted felons, go.
ing to be sentenced. She was kept in
the pen waiting for her case to be called,
exposed to the impudent gaze Of the
horde of courtroom loafers.
"When her case was called, the court
appointed lawyer to defend her, as she
was penniless. The prosecuting witness
and her father told the story of the find
ing of the missing ring. The presump-
tion that the accused had placed it there
was more or less strong until the law
yer began to cross question the owner of
the ring. Guessing at the truth, by
adroit questioning he drew from the
unwilling witness the fact that she had
often pried into the desk and dressing
case drawers of the governess, and that
she had been so engaged an hour or so
before she missed her ring, and the fur
ther fact that the ring fitted loosely.
The judge dismissed the case promptly,
and the accuser's father apologized, but
the young woman, being of highly
strung and nervous temperament, was
completely prostrated by her terrible
experience in the Tombs, and the ill
effects will, it is feared, be permanent. !"

EATC6ES CRUELTY
The Ichneumon Fly Makes It's Natural

Inc Acnneutnon Fly MAKES lts Naturn1
Enemy Serve Its Purpose.
The ichneumon fly Of Ceylon is the
natural enemy Of the spider. This insect
is green in color. and in form resembles
q wasp with a marvelously thin waist.
1t makes its nest Of well worked clay
and then goes ON a hunting expedition.
Its victims are invariably spiders of va.
rious kinds, but all are subject to the
same mode Of treatment A scientific
sting injects some poison, which effec-
tually paralyzes the luckless spider,
who is then carried OFF to the nest and
there fastened with a dab Of moist clay.
Another and another victim is brought
to this chamber of horrors. Then the
prescient mother ichneumon fly proceeds
to deposit her eggs, one in the body of
each spider, which can just move its
legs in a vague, aimless manner, but
can offer no resistance.
This done, the fly returns to her work
as mason She prepares more clay and
builds up the entrance to this CHASTITY
cell. Then she commences a new cell,
which she furnishes in like manner, and
then closes; then she adds yet another
cell, and so proceeds until her store of
eggs are all provided for, and her task
in life being accomplished she dies,
leaving her evil brood to hatch at lei

maggots come to life and find them.

THE OLD LApYs VISIT.
Waiting For City Friend With Three Jars
of ButtermiIk.


The last passenger to leave the 4:S0
train on the Michigan Central railroad
after it drew to a standstill one summer
afternoon was q little old woman in
black A wisp Of gray hair struggled
from under an old fashioned poke bon
net, and a pair Of kindly blue eyes
looked out from behind her steel trimmed
spectacles. In one hand she carried
huge, shiny valise, the key Of which
was tied TO the handle with a strip of
calico cloth. When she was part way up
the platform, she stopped, with trou-
bled look, and watched the baggagemen
toll by with their loaded trucks Pres
emily she dropped the valise and opened
big black fan which was fastened to
her waist by velvet ribbon. After she
had waited some time one of the depot
ushers came along and asked if he could
be of any service to her.
"Why, thank you, think not, " she
answered. 81 am waiting for Dick Rob-
inson.
The depot usher hurried on and paid
no more attention to the little old wom-
an. When he came back half hour
later, she was still standing where he
had left her, gently tanning herself
with the black fan. ''Has your friend
come YETI" asked the usher.
NO." she answered. "His watch
must have been slow"
"Did he expect you by this train?"
"Well, you see, it's this way: Last
oImmer Dick and his wife came over to
Briggsburg to visit the Coopers. While
they were there they came over often to
my place to get drink Of buttermilk.
Well, we got friendly, and Sarah told
me lot of things about Chicago, and
that she couldn't by no manner of
means get buttermilk in the city. Be.
fore Dick went back he came around
and says: Mrs. Beggs, just take run
up to Chicago next summer and visit
us. Let us know when you're coming,
and I'll meet you at the depot And SC
I'm here. and I've got three jars of
fresh buttermilk for them in that bag. "
The depot usher helped the little old
woman to a seat in the waiting room,
and then he searched the directory foI
Richard Robinson. His charge couldn't
help him much, because she didn know
Dicks occupation.
"All 1 know" she explained, sis
that he's genuine gentleman, and il
he had got my letter he'd "a been here. u
The usher made list of two or three
addresses and put the woman in charge
of a trusty cabman, with instructions tc
find Dick. Two hours later the driver
came back with the report that his fare
was delivering her buttermilk. Chi,

TRAGEDIES ON ToMBsToNEs.
English Churchyards and Their Deeply
Craven Accusations of Murder.

English Churchyards and Their Deeply
Craven Accusations of Murder.
In the churcbyards of Britain several
tombstones exist with the accusations
of murder deeply engraved upon them.
A stone over the grave of three children
in MerTington (Durham) churohyard
bears the following inscription:
Sleeping we were slain.
And here we sleep till we must rise again.
In Sandridge churchyard, Surrey, on
the tombstone Of a custom house officer
who was shot in an encounter with
smugglers is the following:
Thou shalt do no murder, nor shalt thou steal
Are the commands Jehovah did reveal.
But thou, o wretch, without fear or dread
OF thy tremendous Maker, shot me dead.
On stone in Cadoxton churchyard,
Glamorganshire, is inscribed the most
fearful accusation of murder to be found
on any tomb in Great Britain.
''To RECORD MURDER.
'This stone was erected over the body
of Margaret Williams, age', 90, living
in service in this parish, VIZ was found
dead with marks of violeson upon her
in ditch on marsh below this church
yard on the morning of Sunday, the
l4th July, 1892.
Although the savage murderer es-
capped for season the detection of man,
yet God hath set his mark upon him
either for time or eternity, and the
cry of blood will assuredly pursue him
to certain and terrible but righteous
Judgment.
A tombstone stood in Dulverton
churchyard a few years ago on which
was inscribed:
Poisoned by the doctor, neglected by the nurse
The brother robbed the widow, which made
the matter worse.
An accusation of murder appears on
the tomb of Edwin, the Irish comedian,
who was buried in ST. Werburgh's
churchyard, Dublin, and also on tombs
to be found in Acton churchyard, Glou-
cestershire; Hoo, near Rochester; Little
Stukeley, and Mytton, near Clitheroe,

TOO MANY SPARROWS.

The English Bird Is Not Even Favorite In
His Own Home.
1t appears that the detested English
sparrow is by no means a general favor
ite in his own home across the water,
where his habits have been more care
fully noted.
In the course of his paper on "Wild
Birds, Useful and Injurious" in the
Royal Agricultural society's journal,
Mr.. c. F. Archibald says: 'Th6 sparrow
has received an overfowing measure of
abuse from farmers and gardeners, and,
Notwithstanding all that has been urged
in its favor by enthusiastic advocates,
there can be little doubt that it deserves
large share of the vituperation be-
slowed upon it. The keynote to the spar
rows character is to be found in the
delusion under which it labors that
corn growing is carried on for its es-
pecial benefit. Grain is undoubtedly the
mainstay Of the sparrow. This it OBJ
tains in the fields at seedtime, when
sprouting, in the unripe, milky condi-
tion, and when fully matured. At this
last named period quantity of grain is
wasted by being shaken out on the
ground by the birds, in addition to the
amount actually consumed. At this
time, too, numbers of sparrows which
live for the greater part of the year in
towns are tempted to visit the field,
their grimy appearance proclaiming
their usual haunts.
SIN gardens the sparrow finds full
scope for its destructive propensities in
devouring peas, of which it is very fond,
as well as a few gooseberries and cher
ries. In the most mischievous way, too,
it pulls to pieces the flowers of the
crocus, dahlia, primrose, polyanthus,
hepatica, heartsease, wistaria, the shoots
of pinks and carnations, the pods of the
laburnum and the blossom of fruit
trees. 1t also does considerable damage
to beds Of young radishes and lettunAs,
besides levying toll on the grass seeds
sown on lawns On the other hand, it
must be freely admitted that the spar
row does great deal of good.
Among the pests destroyed by the
sparrows are wireworms, daddy long
legs, weevils from peas and beans,
aphides caternillars of various kinds,

ant Colonel Jordan, United States ar
my, cousin of General Custer and one
of the most tried representatives Of the
government in the Indian country. He
bears the honor Of being the only white
man who was ever elected member Of
the Sioux council In their days Of pow,
er, before hardly single white face had
been seen west Of the Missouri river,
the Dakotas (Sioux) were one nation,
ruled by one chief. The last Of this au-
tocratic dynasty was Old Smoke, who
died in 1859 after seeing his people
pushed westward and his power curtail-
ed Although the husband of more than
one squaw, he left but one child, tiny
girl, who could hardly COO when Old
Smoke got ready to float upward to the
happy hunting grounds When dying,
he took her in his arms and named her
The Beautiful Woman, and so she has
since been known. The Beautiful Wom-
an was princess. She did no work,
but learned of missionaries, scorned dog
meat and kept her nails trimmed and
her glorious black hair plated and
combed She grew to womanhood, high
spirited, proud and capricious-an ideal
squaw But as no ideal chief came to
WOO her she scorned an alliance with
any common member of the tribe.
Young Jordan, tall, bright eyed
fellow of good education and address,
came west as clerk to the Indian agent
at Pine Ridge. He fell in love with the
princess, and his love was reciprocated
by the Sioux maiden. And so they were
married by a priest in stole and surplice
and with all the formalities of the white
mans laws and customs The big Sioux
chiefs came from miles around to attend
the wedding, the army officers from the
neighboring posts jingled their spurs in
the Old Virginia reel, which followed
the benediction, and the pretty Sioux
queen has since been plain Mrs. Jordan.

alliance. Charles P. Jordan, the Sioux
queens husband, has lived on the from

MAKING THEIR OWN PILLS.


Doctors Taking to Custom That Troubles
the Apothecaries.
"Our business is suffering to some
extent from a new fad Of the physician
that is growing rapidly, Iregret to say"
said an apothecary. Sin old times, of
course, it was quite usual for medical
practitioners to put up their own pre-
scriptions. Oddly enough, they are TAX
ing up the practice again in a fresh
form. They do not prepare the medi-
cines they prescribe but good many
of them they give to their patients in
the shape Of pills. For example, you
consult DR.. Squills for symptoms which
indicate a stomach disorder. Instead
Of writing prescription for it, he gives
you half a dozen little tablets and tells
you to call again in couple Of days.
You go back again and get some more
of the same pills-one to be taken after
each meal you are instructed. That
transaction robs the apothecary of the
30 cents he would have got for filling
the prescription. Tt might seem to you
that the expense Of furnishing their
own medicines would deter physicians
from adopting this plan, but will
quickly explain to you how it works to
their advantage. You must understand,
to begin with, that they get the pills or
tablets at wholesale rates, so that the
cost is not very great. Nasty doses are
no longer in fashion, and large num-
ber Of remedies-particularly the coal
tar preparations-are put up nowadays
in the shape speak Of.
"Dr. Squills gives you six tablets and
tells you to come back on Friday. In
that way he secures another visit from
you and rakes in an additional So. That
is where his profit comes in. Further
more, If your friend Mrs. Bobbins hap
pens to be sufferings from symptoms
similar to your own, you cannot furnish
