1t has not been the policy of

a moro amusing nature than usual
happens and then we feel bound to
tell it. An incident Of this kind
happened the other evening when
a certain young man of Hot

THIS young man abhors clothes Of
a baggy fit and always wears a
close hitting suit and the pants OF
the suit which he wore on this
long to be remembered occasion
were particularly close fitting. The
young man was shown into the
parlor aud was in the best Of
spirits, but suddenly a deep gloom
spread over his countenance, for,
as he took a seat he had heard a
sound, not a loud roaring sound,

She Immediately went on an ex.

white protruding from under his

The earth-almost the air was
white with the heat of the summer
sun. All was vastness, immensely, ST.
leuce, loneliness; above, the hawless
blue; below, those seemingly illimita-
BILE plains of reddish yellow, streaked
with alkali white, that swan back and
forth befQreIhe eyes in parallel lines
until far off they melted into long,
low stretch of shivering light, the
knocking water mirage at the base of
the mountain range hundreds of miles
away. Encompassed within that hori-
zon there was no thing of life except
within that desultory moving train.
Stocked in the migrant or third-class
car OF the train was crowd of tired,
miserable and dirty people. They
looked out listlessly at the passing
Landscape, or stupidity at each other,
or twisted themselves into all sorts of
uncomfortable positions on the hard |
wooden seats in vain efforts to secure
a little sleep. Perhaps the most un-
prepossessing of them all was.a dark
featured, roughly-dressed man. Be-
side him was a very little girl in a blue |
dress. His lowering, repellant face
had scowl upon it which suggested
the convict or the desperate, but he
was neither The scowl and the I'M
conscious sheer about his ugly mouth
were born simply of long and thor
oughly fruitless struggle with nisfor-
tune.
Although pretty, it was easily to be
seen that the little girl was his child.
She was the solitary ray of sunshine in
that railway Storage. Even the dull
faces of the people in the car took on
an expression OF tenderness when they
looked at her, for she had cheered
them during the three last weary days
with her joyous laughter and merry
play. just now she was lying asleep ,
on the breast of the ill-favored looking ,,
man, one chubby hand pressed against !
his rough, unshaven cheek. 1t was un-
necessary to ask if the child had a :.
mother.
She was a momentous factor in a
mighty problem to the man whose arm !
was about her and whose knit brows :

Sarcasm on the Bench.

| Some years ago there lived in Ala
bama a judge who was noted for the
sarcasm which he dispensed during his
administrations of justice. On one oc.
casion young man was tried for
stealing pocketbook The next case
was for murder. The evidence in the
larceny case was slight, but in the
other seemed to the Judge conclusive.
To his amazement and wrath, how
ever, the jury convicted the young
man and acquitted the murderer. In
passing sentence upon the convicted
thief, after the discharge of the other
prisoner, the judge said: Young man,
you have not been in this country
longY mo, your honor" replied the
prisoner. 81 thought not" said the
judge; 'you don't know these people;
you may kill them, but don't touch
their pocketbooks. On another occa-
sion, when the evidence seemed to
point conclusively to the prisoners
guilt, but when the judge, from long
experience, distrusted the jurymen's
wisdom, the counsel for the defendant
said: 1T is better that ninety-nine
guilty persons should escape than that
one innocent man should suffer- In
his charge to the jury the Judge admit
ted the soundness of this proposition.
but he added, impressively and severe
iy; "Gentlemen, want you to bear in
mind that ninety-nine have already
escaped. San Francisco Argonaut

hours before, and he was wondering
how soon the conductor Of the trail
would discover the shameless imposi
tion he was practicing upon the rail
way company. He had not mucl
longer to wait, for presently the auto
crat of the train, in hurried passage
through the car, stopped suddenly be
fore him and glanced at the check in
his hat.
Hello! Where are you going?"
The man looked up in what was in
tended as humble, respectful and
piteous appeal, but his lip curled up
over his teeth, like that of harried
dog. He could not help it. His voice
was mild enough, though, as he said:
II am going to California, sir, with
my little girl"
| The mans looks seemed to irritate
the not-too-even temper of the railway
officer:
"You are, Ell? Well, where's your
ticket for the rest of the way?"
IF you would please let me go
through the train with nay little girl"
replied the unfortunate one, faltering-
ly, II think | could raise the money"
go through the train? Not much.
Third-class passengers stay in this car.
You get off at the next station" said
the conductor, in a voice of fierce warn
ing, as he passed on.
The man looked despairingly around
at his fellow passengers. There was a |
glimmering of sympathy and pity for
him in some OF their woe-begone faces,
but there was little money in their
pockets, even if they desired to help
him.
In about an hour the conductor came
into the car again and gave the bell
rope vicious pull. The engine re-
sponded with two short whistles, and
gradually the train slackened it's speed
and stopped.
Come, now, you get off here" said
the conductor, roughly; "we're behind
Time already, and you want to hurry
up about it."
Again the mans lip curled in an ugly
way, but he made no answer, except to
rather up the few paper bundles of
bread and meat on the seat before him. s
Then, taking his child in his arms, he /
ollowed the conductor to the platform :

he had left the tenements of New York

sufficient money to take himself and

ROBBERS AIDED BY a HORSE.

Snake river, north of the Great Sand

1--WE had four camps, situated about
eighteen miles apart, and to go from

was necessary to 20 through long

off the trail through the woods picked
his way among trees as nicely as Ii he

Gated railway station. There was a
little closed sentry box-looking affair
beside the track, and fifty yards behind
it the remains of an old dug-out. Not
even trail showed where it was that
any human being had visited the spot.
AND round was the dreary waste of
| billowy plains and the burning sun
overhead.
In the rear of the sentry box its pro-
Jecting roof had cast q little shade.
and here the man sat down upon the
ground with his child still in his arms.
Strange things, for him, came to his
eyes-tears. The little one looked up
at him in puzzled way, and he hasti-
ly brushed his hand across his face
and left broad smudge of railway
SCOT upon his cheek. She clapped her
hands and laughed with giee at his
funny face.
Then thirst came to them-tbat
awful, torturing, unreasonlng thirst
which the desert alone can give. The
child cried for water, and the father
left her in the scanty shade and stepped
out into the glazing sun Neither in
the sky nor in the parched ground was
there drop of moisture, and he knew
it He returned and tried to comfort
her, and then he atdown again, buried
his face in his hands and tried to
think. The evening was coming on
when he rose to his feet with a new
resolve k
Away far off in the west a thin, al |
most imperceptible streak of smoke |
told him that the east-bound train was
approaching. Near the track he found
dirty shred of flag hanging to a
stick, and he placed it in the socket of
the upright post standing in front of
The house. Nervously his fingers
iumbled in his pockets until he pro-
luced the stump OF lead pencil.
Fieking up piece of pasteboard, he
wrote upon it in great, rough letters:
