The rough man from the wild South
west was seated at the same table in
the hotel with nice little gentleman
from New York, as dainty as a flow
er, and he had just struck an oasis Of
pic in the dessert and was subdivid-
ing it with his knife. The little man
became so absorbed in watching him
eat that pie as to attract the rough
mans attention.
what you watchin' me fer?' asked
the rough man tiercely.
Merely to settle an important ques-
ton in my mind" replied the little
man, as brave as a lion.
'What's the question: said the
rough man, hitting the table with his
tiS.
"Well,' replied the little man, II
wanted to find out whether you were
eating your pie with your knife, or
eating your knife with your pie"
And somehow the rough man didn't
jump on the little man and mop the
floor with him.-Detroit Free Press.

A Remarkable Feat.

Joseph Alexander of Newburg, N Y,
was 81 years of age last January, but is
in full possession of all his faculties.
Last month in a heart shaped design
on sheet of paper 21sx2 inches, he
drew a circle the size of ten cent
piece. With a pen he wrote the Lords
Prayer within the circle, and the whole
of the 103d Psalm in the heart
shaped space. When in Washington
recently he wrote on piece of paper
the size of postal card matter con-
tanning 12,400 letters, besides the
Lords prayer in each of the four cor
ners. This remarkable piece of work
for such an old man has been placed
in the Smithsonian Institution.

We give the facts as nearly as pos
sible in the words Of the narrator.
In the summer of 1872, Ida Carlton.
daughter Of a well-to-do farmer, left
home to gather a basket Of berries
from a pasture lot about half mile
from the dwelling, saying that she
would be back before evening.
When night set in she had not re-
turned, hel family became alarmed
and instituted a search for her.
She was not found that night, and
the next morning the searchers were
Increased in number
She was at last discovered, dead
murdered-under circumstances calcu-
lated to excite the greatest wrath and
horror. There had evidently been a
long. fierce struggle; her face, arms
and hands were scratched and bruised;
her clothes were torn and a portion OF
them missing; some gold beads which
she had worn around her neck, were
also missing; two gold rings had been
taken from her fingers. and she had
apparently been choked to death by
human hands.
The news spread rapidly, crowds
gathered at the farmhouse and about
the tragic scene, and the citizens in the
*tCllllly became almost Wllu WIFI eA-
element and rage.
Who had done the foul deed? What
Gfend in human shape had dared to
come into that peaceful vicinity and
perpetrate such horrid crime? If they
Gould find him they would tear him to
pieces!
Ida Carlton had been much beloved
by all who knew her. She was 20 years

Gtaver, a young man of %, who had
bought a nice farm about a mile from
a1er fathers, and was to take possess
sion Immediately after the nuptials,
which were to be celebrated the fol-
lowing spring.
He was not at home at the time Of
the murder. In fact, he had left that
very day, and could not be found. His
anxious family could give no clew to
his whereabouts, and were much wor-
ried in consequence.
On the third day, however, he ap-
peared at the coroner's inquest, nearly
Frustrated with grief, and said he had
been to look at a quarry about three
miles from home and had fallen down
and injured his head so badly that he
had been delirious for two days, and
knew nothing of what had happened
meantime.
His family also stated that he had
come home weak, gaunt and nearly
starved, and when informed of the aw-
3ul tragedy and loss of his beloved, he
had taken the matter so deeply to heart
chat for time it was feared he would
lose his reason.

cited against the unhappy lover if it
had not suddenly been diverted to an
her quarter.
A dirty tramp, though a young man,
had been found two miles from the
scene, lying at the foot of large tree

any farther. His face was bruised and
scratched, and swollen, his clothes

on his little finger.
Fortunately for the ends of Justice.
che finder Of this tramp was a respect
able, law-abiding farmer, who, instead
of first proclaiming his discovery to
che furious mob, and having the fellow
torn to pieces without a trial, brought
the news to me.
AS sheriff of the county, Immediately
summoned all my deputies, and swore
in large posse Of the best citizens to
aid me in protecting the man from the
violence of mob who would seek to
murder him as soon as the facts should
become known.
After first lodging my man in Jail for
security, I summoned physician, who
soon discovered that the fellow had
been badly handled, had probably been
unconscious and delirious a part of the
time in consequence, and that his i'm

lack of food-in fact, that he was half
dead from starvation.
Under proper treatment he rapidly
recovered, SO as to be able to sit I'D

give him steady employment: that on
his way he had turned into the lot
where the tragedy lad occurred to pick
some berries; that while thus engaged
he had been startled by faint cries of
murder in female voice; and on hur-
rying to the place whence the sounds
had proceeded, he had discovered a
young man in the act of leaving what
appeared to be q dead woman; that the
man, seeing him., had at once assaulted
him, and fierce struggle had taken
