LIE That Saved Man from n sonsoless,
Mob.
You all know what happened to-
horse thieves in Nevada thirty years
ago. Well, not long after the gold
fever broke out | went West to do,
what l could to help the souls of
some men who were seeking their.
fortunes in that wild country. | es-I
tabllshed myself at - gulch; and
as l was not too much Of prude in re-
ligious matters, really won the con-
fdence Of the mining community.
who felt bit Of pride that they had,
a parson among them who wanted to-
see things done con the square"
One evening as it was getting dark
I was standing in front of my cabin,
which was a quarter Of a mile from
the miners huts. Suddenly man
whom | did not know, but who might
have seen me before, came running
toward me. He was almost dead,
from fatigue and terror. The per-.
spiration dripped from his face and
hands, though it was a cool evening.
His jaws were so parched that he
could scarcely articulate word. He.
fell on his knees before me hoarSelyI
whispering: Innocent, innocent!".
while he glanced back over his Shout.
der with a look Of dread, his eyes al
most bursting from their sockets
In a moment grasped the situation,
and without a word hurried him into
my cabin and concealed him.
Five minutes later party of angry.
miners, one Of whom carried moose,
in his hand, drew up before my door. &,
met them with a cool, inquiring
look. "Parson, we're after a horse
THIEF. Have you seen a stranger:
about here?" y,
looked the leader straight in the
eye. 1 knew he would believe me-
without question. "Yes, ten min
utes ago 1 saw man running toward
the river"
They wheeled about an'o'f0Gre gone.
They searched the banern til dark,
and then concluded tfmpShe had
drowned in trying to cross the stream,
gave up the hunt.
About 10 o'clock the man whose
life my falsehood had saved struck
over the hills and doubtless reached
one of the neighboring camps.
The missing horse returned to thel
stable Of his own accord about dinner!
time the next day.
l may add that my conscience.
never troubled me on the score of
what I did.

KANSAS RAILROADS,

G. M. Rathburn, superintendent Of
the Missouri Pacific lines northwest Of
Kansas City, issued a circular snnounc-
ing the appointment Of James W. DIAL
boy as division superintendent Of the
Kansas City, Wyandotte & Northwestern
railroad with headquarters at Kansas
City, Kas., vice H. W. Sheridan, assigned
to other duties. The appointment is ap.
proved by W. B. Doddridge. 80
Attorney General Little's papers II,
the case against the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad company conclude with:
Therefore plaintiff prays that the
charter Of said defendant be declared
forfeited to the plaintiff; that said cor
poration be dissolved and that a receiver

Grty, to wind up its affairs in the manner
prescribed by law, and for such other
and further relief as may be right and
proper in the premises.
The Missouri Pacific south bound
passenger was fred on by five supposed
train robbers near Monett, Kan. The
first noticed was some rocks strewn
along on the road and the displaying Of
a red lantern. A demand to Engineer
Wilson to stop was made with an oath,
but Wilson, suspecting danger, did not
stop, but opened up the engine and
pulled through to Sedan. No damage
was done except two windows broken by
the shots and no one is reported hurt

amount rendered, with the proviso that
if any other county in the state succeed

on chair or in some corner, but
should be hung on hook or over the
back of a chair, and protected from
dust. A mistake is often made In
hanging a coat on a hook without
regard to the hanger, and it's weight
causes the cloth to bulge out in the
most conspicuous part, which draws
the garment entirely out Of shape.
The ordinary wire Coat-hanger sold
on the street is preferable to the use
Of the tape hanger attached to the
garment, but wooden shoulder,
easily and cheaply made, should be
provided, broad enough to prevent
the break which the wire shoulder
occasions. When sitting down the

at the knees, not enough to shorten
them conspicuously at the ankle, but
Just sufficient to prevent the usual

Too MUCH cannot be said in regard
to the danger of putting small ar
ticles in the mouth. A great many
persons carelessly hold coins, pins
and other articles in their mouths.
They fail to realize that an ordinary
coin which has been in circulation
for a score Of years and passed
through thousands Of hands is not
only dirty but may hold the germs Of
the foulest diseases. Not many
years ago the public was horror
stricken by the death Of clergyman
from cork which was suddenly
blown into his windpipe by fit Of
coughing. He was holding it In his
lips, as many people do, while pour
ing medicine from a bottle. An
other incident is that Of a man who
was killed by handful Of tacks
which he was holding in bis mouth
while he was putting down carpet,
and which were blown into his lungs
by a sudden fit Of laughter Sneez-
ing, coughing, laughing or any slight
involuntary spasm of the throat may
at any time cause similar accidents.

screw, and the distinctively cashmere
or cheviot business suit-at least
three changes-and four or five pairs
Of trousers, varying In color and pat
tern so as to answer for any occasion
and look suitable with any coat and

possess overcoats for spring, fall and
winter wear, besides an ulster for
very severe weather.
BY exercising little care In hang
ing up or laying down garments, by
using the brush and whisk broom now
and then, and by having the tailor
examine them at intervals, their
preservation and their neat appear
ance will be insured. When arriving
at business in the morning, an office
coat should be donned. The business

A FEW days ago James W. Connor-
ton, Of Chicago, died in his bed.
Still more remarkable, he died from
disease and not as the result Of vio-
lence. He was better known as
"Bad Jimmy" Connorton, an sll-round
city tough" an uncomfortable black
guard and nuisance, especially when
partially inebriated, and a typical
habitual criminal. The command to
say only that which is gracious and
charitable Of the dead does not apply
when a moral Is to be drawn from
the example Of vicious life and the
world inquiries how the production Of
utterly bad men can be prevented or
restricted. 1t is not alleged that
Connorton was a member Of any Of
the criminal gangs which are ter
ror to the neighborhoods where they
rendezvous and the reports of whose
acts occupy the crime columns in the
newspapers. He marauded alone out
Of doors and was "brace" gambler
when not employed In the commission
OF other crimes. He went armed
with knife and a gun" the most of
the time, carrying both weapons
loose In his side coat pocket, and
using either as it flashed upon his
criminal intelligence that stab or a
shot would be most effective in the
sudden quarrels which he provoked.
He is described as stealthy rufflan,
who, in the act of drinking with a
companion and with laugh on his
face, would knock down, cut or shoot
his associate for the mere humoI
which q murderous surprise afforded
him. He did not tackle men who
were armed or prepared. He was as
cowardly as he was brutal and per
formed prodigious feats Of sprinting
when he found himself overmatched
after having started quarrel He
had all OF the worst vices OF the
class to which he belonged. 1t ID
said that "Bad Jimmy" Connortou
was an affectionate husband and
father and kind to his family under
all circumstances To some extent
this is his excuse and eulogy. When
Nero died
Some hand unseen strewed HOWers upor
his tomb.
This statement Of the reporter that
Connorton loved his wife and wal
true and kind to her and that HI
loved his children and was kind Il
them is the single fragrant blossom
that decorates the spot where his re
mains are laid.

THERE is wherewith to point a
moral In the sad fate of Zadock
Outram. Zadock was the valet Of
England's grand old man, Gladstone.
Following the memorable example Of
Hans Breitman, he gave a party.
The guests were too good to Zadock.
He put himself outside of an amount
of wine that produced a temporary
attack of wheel In the head. The
next morning, when his hair was
pulling and his nerves tingllng,
Zadock was called into the presence
of the venerable English Premier
and combed down In a spirited man
ner for his conduct. This was more
than the proud spirit Of Zadock
Outram could brook, and he jumped
into the Thames. His tragic fate is
strong sermon against trying to at
tend to your work and to fill up with
exhilarating confusion at the same
time.
