CURIOUS HORSE BLOCKS.
Relic of n Band of DesperadOes in q
Small Missouri Town.

Small Missouri Town.
Not long ago a Star writer had occasion
to be in western Missouri. Just north of
Kansas City, about twelve miles, is the
little town of Parkville. 1t is built up on
the two sides of a valley which opens
against the broad Missouri, and the hamlet
might contain perhaps fifty houses. Among
other matters however, it shelters a SEM
mary of considerable local fame, which
teaches both boys and girls the higher
branches of an education, but with which
just now we have nothing to do. The main
street of the village runs along the bottom
of the valley at right angles with the Mis-
souri, river.
On each side of the street are the various
village stores, perhaps dozen in all, and
as the town does considerable trade with
the farmers round about, the stores are
what might be termed "good-sized." To
illustrate the slowness of the village Of
Parkville, and it's calm acquiescence to a
condition. once it be brought about, the
following might be told:
The Star writer was sitting in front of
one of the stores, smoking very bad cigar
of local origin, and conversing with the
merchant who had sold it. 1t was about
3 o'clock in the afternoon, and many of the
country people were coming into town. A
country girl of the region came cantering
up on a bareback horse and slid off on
what, now that The Star mans attention
was called to 1t, he noticed was a unique
sort of horse block.
1t was nothing more nor less than an old
rusty safe of considerable size. 1t had
apparently lain there for years. and when
examined disclosed a suspicious-looking
hole in one side, clearly the work of ex-
plosIves. At this point the attention of the
investigator from the east was called to
two other safes, similarly exploded, and
o1 1x,in on hair Sil in CT nd
doing duty as horse blocks.
How about these safes?' asked The Star
man of the Parkville merchant. What
story goes with them?"
"Nuthin mich of a story" remarked the
Parkville merchant Wanamaker, helping
himself to a thoughtful chew of to-
bacco. Them safes have laid right
thar where you-an see 'em since '7s.
ed by Quantrell and Jess and Frank
James and the Younger brothers,
along with the rest of Quantrelrs gang
They come chargin' down the street one
minut and a half, and then went fur them
safes. Money wuz mighty popular with
Quantrell and the James boys, and they
usually went arter all they heard Of"
How much did they get from the safes?"
Il dunno how much they got from them
on t'other side of the street" said the Park
vile man! "They hunted $500 outn mine."
and here he pointed sadly at the safe near
rustic had just alighted.
was that safe youIs?" was asked.
Yes he answered. II KEEP store then
right whar do now, and jest as 1 do now
why haven't you removed the safes?"
whats the use?" observed the Park
Vile man. They amt in nobody's way,
and they do fust-rate fur hoss-blocks
'Nuther thing, We amt got no carts nor
tackle strong enough to move EN-, nohow !;
so we jest let 'em go as they lay, as they
say in faro"

From the Philadelphia Record.
a Dawnbroker meets with many curious
experiences in his business, and the soli-
tary West Philadelphia money lender is no
exception to the rule. On Saturday a wo-
man entered the Office, on Lancaster ave-
nue., with a basket which was found to
contain sixteen pint and twenty-three half
pint bottles Of whisky, which she wished
to pawn. She said that her husband used
to keep a speak-easy, but on finding that
his place was suspected mad closed bust
ness and. instead of selling off his stock
to customers, had started in to drink HIM
self to death. The woman objected to this,
and, in order to place temptation out of
his way. she had decided to pawn all that
she could get out of the house. She was
much disappointed when informed that she
would have to take her stock to a bonded
warehouse or police station if she wanted
to keep her husband sober.

difficult to get a book that gave an ade-
quate account of this island. especially in
regard to the peculiar features of life there,
the customs the scenery. the sights of
town and country. About fifty years ago
John A. Dix, afterward the celebrated gen.
eral, went there in a sailing vessel and
wrote account of his visit in small
volume, which is now rarely to be seen ex-
cept in old libraries. Since then. so far as
i can discover, only an occasional chapter
or two in some travellers book has been
written on the subject, that is to say In
English.
And yet there is ample material for
charming volume on Madeira.
l need hardly tell any one that the Ma
deiras are in the Atlantic ocean, nor that
they are about opposite Charleston. South
