BRIEF CAREER OF A HERO.
Bravery Of "A Hoosier Journalist Denied by
enlightened Railroad Man.

Enlightened Railroad Man.
He was a newspaper man. lived a
long distance from the business cen
ter of the city, went home late at
night and fOndlcd a big gun III his
Overcoat pocket as he wendell his way
through the streets homeward bound.
He wlistled at times, again warbled
b little dirty or talked to himself for
company's sake and had a nervous,
constitutional fear Of meeting foot
pads. He passed the mouth Of an
alley, and a man stepped out of the
shadows.
That was enough. The newspaper
man jerked out his gun and covered
the stranger, with the remark: up
with your hands. Don't say a word,
or I'll blow the top of your head off. y
The strangers arms shot up into
space, and he was speechless. The
newspaper man then, keeping his
gun ''at aim" began backing down
toward the street corner as rapidly
as possible. AS soon as he had
reached the corner he suddenly
jammed the revolver down into his
pocket, wheeled and started away at
q gait that would have made Direc-
tum ashamed Of himself. His home
was only n half block away, and
when he bolted into the house and
had the door bolted behind HIM he
told his wife the story Of his having
been assaulted by a footpad and ex-
patiated upon his remarkable PROV
ess in putting the highwayman to
fight.
AS he came from his house the next
morning to go to his daily toll he was
joined by his next door neighbor, a
well known railroad conductor. Then
the railroad man gave the newspa-
per man a piece of news. He said
that while he was on his way home
the night before, and just around the
corner, he stepped into an alley. As
he was coming out on the sidewalk
his heart stopped beating and his
blood was chilled as he looked into
the cold, shining muzzle of a revolv-
er and was invited to throw up his
hands.
Did you accept the invitation2'
asked the newspaper man.
Dol look like id fool?" asked
the railroad man and added: 81

thing about it was, though, that the

When travellers crossed the plains
at the time when the Pacific rail

been waiting there to sprout since
the flood. They called it ''snow on

The Fun That Adam Missed.
That Adam was a lonely man
I'm ready to believe,
Although his many days were blest
With natures fairest Eve.
By maiden aunts and cousins fair
The man was never kissed,
And thus / often think about
The fun that Adam missed.
1t seems to me his life was like
An oft repeated dream.
He never treated girls and paid
Three dollars for ice cream;
He never, when a little boy.
By Rrownup girls was kissed,
And when he died he never knew
The fun that he had missed.
He never went security
And had the note to pay;
He never saw his banks cashier
Steal gracefully away.
In all his life he never by
A mother-in-law was kissed
But why go on and 'numerate
The fun that Adam missed?
Perhaps If he was living now
But, then, why speculate?
He'd be too old and not inclined
To play with tickle fate.
For centuries the wanton winds
His unknown grave have kissed.
Perhaps he sleeps the better for
The fun that he has missed.

if they shall rise above a partisan view of

cusations that Senators have profited by

The proposition to increase the revenue
tax Oh spirits from 90 cents to 81 10 a gal
loG is to take effect at the end of the sec
ond calendar month after the passage of
the act. In these two months spirits may
be manufactured and placed in bond
at the present rate of 80 cents gallon. 1t
may be held and sold after two months in
competition with spirits placed in bond
under the new tax of 81 10. There are
then 20 cents profit on each gallon on the
spirits now on hand and on spirits which
may be placed in bond within sixty days
after the passage of the bill. 1t may be
that such changes in the rates of taxation
are necessary, but they should not be
made so clearly in the interests Of trusts.
It has been estimated that the whisky

Departure of the Pretty FaraiIon.

Captain John Roberts took his STEAMER
Farallon out yesterday for Puget Sound.
The Farallon has been converted from an
ordinary looking steam ooner into a
trim little passenger-steameT, with &C
cOmmodations for torty-iye cabin and
thirty steerage passengers. She is fitted

upper deck built on her, and now presents
quite a changed appearance from her for
mer self.
Captain Roberts thinks that be can make
the run to Puget Sound in three days
time. This steamer is going to run regu-
larly on the Sound route, and it is by re-
ducng the trip time that her owners ex-
pect TO gain some little advantage over
competitors. F. w. Bucklun went out as
puTser of the FarallOn.
