Not q TenderfoOt.

One day lot of rustlers and all round
thieves and cutthroats rode into mining
town in Arizona and proceeded to have
fun. They rode up-and down the main
street firing right and left until they
scared everybody indoors. Then they
went into the principal saloon of the
place for liquor. Jim Dupree happened
to be in the saloon at the time and, as
usual, bad no gun with him. Those fel
lows caught sight of him, and as he was
the freshest looking duck they had seen
for many Gay, they started in to have
fun with him. The leader of the gang
was rufian called Long Haired Pete.
As soon as be saw Dupree he pulled his
gun and sent bullet through the floor
right between Jim's feet.
''Give us dance and be -, lively
about it, shouted Pete, while his gang
gathered around to see the fun.
Jim got up without word and stsrted
in to dancing regular old Kentucky
breakdown. Those fellows thought he
was scared almost to death. He danced
around in circle, and as he came in
front of the leader of the gang his foot
suddenly shot up and caught Long
Haired Pete squarely under the chm.
The rutfian measured his length on the
floor.
Quick as flash Jim leaped forward
and snatched the two pistols carried by
the leader of the gang. Then, with a
emile as innocent as that Of boy he Gov
cred the gang and told them all to dance.
They hesitated for moment. Then
Jim senta bullet through the toe of Pete's
boot, and another through the hat of Lon
,Splvey, member of the gang. They
danced then, and at the first sign of let
up Jim would shoot button of some
mans coat or clip off lock of long hair
with bullet.
Without taking his eyes off the gang,
Jim told the barkeeper to send out and
get all the boys to come in and see the
fun. They ell came quickly enough, and
Jim kept that gang of outlaws there
dancing until some of them dropped to
the floor exhausted.
Then he made every man ofthom hand
oyer bis gun to the barkeeper, after which
ne ordered drinks for the crowd. When
the fun Was over be told Pete to take his
gang and get out of the Territory ~ fast
possible and never come back. That
gang rode out of town the sickest- looking
lot Of tough men | ever saw, and that was
the last ever seen Of them in that part Of
the couptry.-St Louis Globe Democrat

AL THE SAM II WICKED.

With the wAtsr Witch Twig.

II an almost ashamed to toll it, and
people would laugh It me il my name
were given" remarked one of the BEST
knows architects in the City OF Louls-
vile and ono who has figured prominsnt-
II in the most important Of recent big
improvements.
ut Is fact, though" he continued.
aend il something l will not undertake
70 explain. At one time was engaged
to make out the plans for large BRICK
yard. All went we'll until reached the
subject of water supply. 1t was supposed
that water could be found in abundance,
- it bad to be for brick yard purposes.
Every scientific method known was ex-
hausted in locating water vein. Too
much money had been expended on the
enterprise to change the site Of the plant.
'In absolute despair I was walking
over the grounds one day when the old
story Of the water witch twig occurred to
me. At first l laughed at the idea, but
it took hold of me, and l could not get
rid Of it. l looked all around to be sure
that no one was watching, and then hunt
ed for twig. A peach tree fork is the
kind mentioned, but an elm tree fork
was all could find. cut it 50 that each
fork was about 10 inches long. / caught
hold of the ends of the forked stick, one
fork in either hand, as one would do in
picking up hay fork by the tines, and
held them 90 that the butt end assumed
nearly but not quite vertical position.
After looking once more to be certain
that no one could see me and tell what
might have affected my reputation as an
architect, besides being q good joke, /
began to walk about where the water was
supposed to be.
1.-THE twig did not vibrate any more
than would naturally follow the .jarring
motion from walking, and began to walk
about aimlessly, not watching the twig,
for was thinking deeply and seriously
of some reasonable plan, when suddenly
my hands jerked as if they had come in
contact with an electric battery, and the
butt of the elm fork had curved over and
downward about as far as it could with
out breaking the prongs. l never was
SO surprised in my life. would not be-
lieve it at first. As long as remained at
that spot the twig bent and could not be
made to stand erect, but when l moved
away short distance it would straighten
up as before. Time and again I walked
away and back again before putting faith
in the experiment. It convinced me,
and l marked the place. Sure
enough, we found fine supply of water,
but never told how the water vein was
discovered.
ut developed that this water vein fol-
lowed a ledge of rock, and afterward I
followed up this vein with a forked stick,
aud now firmly believe that l can fol-
low up that ledge of rock and water vein
from Louisville to West Point" Louis.

For several years New Jersey has
printed portion of its public doc
uments in German, Dutch and Ital-
ian, because of large colonies of
these nationalities in several parts
of the state. Last year it was found
that not one copy of the German or
the Italian documents was called
for, and only a few copies of the
Dutch. The system will probably
be abandoned, as it is very clearly
demonstrated that foreigners set
ting in this country soon learn the
English language and prefer it to
their own. Whenever foreigner
is found who refuses to learn the
language, one may count on him
as an incompetent The successful
men always begin their success by
acquiring the language of the coun-
try in which they settle.-Ex.

Sensible Advice.

I makes no difference who wrote
it, but there is a power of good
sense in the following scrap of adj
vice: "Many an unwise parent
works hard ind lives sparingly all
his life for the purpose of leaving
enough to give his children a start
in the world, as it is called. Setting
a young man afoat with money
left him by his relatives, is like ty-
ing a bladder under the arm Of one
who cannot swim; ten chances to
one he will lose his bladder and go
to the bottom. Teach him to swim,
ard he will not need the bladders.
Give your child a good education.
See to it that his morals are pure,
his mind cultivated and his whole
nature made subservient to the laws
which govern man and you will
have given what will be of more
value than the wealth of the Indies.
You have given him start which
no misfortune can deprive him Of
The earlier you teach him to depend
upon his own resources the better
for the boy"

An aged mother dropped dead in
a New York court room few DAYS
ago, when she Was put on the stand
to testify against her son as hab-
itual drunkard for the purpose of
having him sent to an asylum for
inebriates. "He's always been
such a good boy" she said, between
her sobs, that | can't bear to send
him up. Perhaps he will be good
if let him go this time" She
looked toward her son and cried,
II can not do it, Johnnie. l can't
do it. It's breaking my heart to
send you away" She stopped on
the step reeled and fell. She was
carried out to a rear room when
the broken hearted mother expired.
