HIS VIGILANCE REwARpEp.
The Story OF a Man Who Was Prepared
For RoOfnoda

The Story OF Man Who Was Prepared
For FoOtpads.
There is a man in Buena Park who
has always been afraid of being robbed
by footpads. A few weeks ago he decided
that he would prepare himself to defend
his property and person if attacked. So
be purchased revolver-not an ordi-
nary revolver, but long barreled one,
the sort the cowboys carry out west.
For several nights he carried the gun,
and the assurance with which he walked
no doubt frightened the footpads, for
they left him unmolested. He was
pleased with the sense of security he felt
from the humping of this weapon
against his leg, and his fears were quiet
ed until one night not long ago.
The sidewalks were slippery, and he
was picking his way along toward his
home, when man bumped against him.
The offender was profuse in his apollo
gies as he struggled to regain his foot
hold.
''It was purely accidental, assure
you, SIR" said he. Certainly, certain
ly," replied the Buena Park man, "no
harm done," and they separated.
A moment later he felt for his watch,
it was gone. Then he felt for his gun
it was safe, and its size and weight gave
him courage. He turned and started on
the run in the direction the man had
taken, and before he had gone a block
overlook him. He grabbed him by the
collar with his left hand, and, sticking
the pistol in his face, commanded him
to give up the watch.
"All right. all right; don't shoot 81
said the trembling man, as he handed
out a watch, and, breaking away, rar
down the street as fast as his legs would
carry him.
"I'll teach you footpads a thing o.
two," shouted the Buena Park man, but
there was no response, and putting th'
watch in his pocket he started toward
home. At each step he grew more an(
more indignant at the state of societ.
that permitted such criminals as pick
pockets and footpads, and when b
reached home he was very angry.
"What makes you look so ferocious?'
were his wife's first words.
"Been held up; fellow took m
watch, but got it back again, he said
"What are you talking about? Yo
left your watch at home this morning,
said she as she took from his pocket tn
watch that belonged to the other man.
The Buena Park man is still advel
tising for the owner Of that watch.

Interesting Washing.

An amusing little story is told in con9
nection with a French journalist, who
in his early days as reporter had a
deeply rooted aversion to the regulation
notebook of his order, and hit upon a
method of taking notes which afforded
him great satisfaction,
He wore large white linen cuffs, and
upon them, by the aid of tiny pencil,
he took down his notes and impressions
in all sorts of places, unobserved by
those around him.
At first his laundress was greatly puz-
zled by these peculiar ornamentations,
but as time went ON she learned to dc.
cipher many Of them, and gathered the
news of the week from her patron S
cuffs, much to her delight.
One night, when she took home the
washing, the journalist chanced to be
coming out of his room as she entered.
"Ah, monsieur" she said, dropping g
courtesy, "your last washing was very
interesting, but we had less politica.
news than the week before. Is it not SOP

A SICK SAVAGE.

Robert Louis Stevenson Tells of the Delu-
sions of One of His Servants.
Poor Misi Folo-you remember the
thin boy, do you not?-had desperate
attack of influenza, and he was in a
great taking. You would not like to be
very sick in some savage place in the
islands and have only the savages to
doctor you? Well, that was just the
way he felt cit is all very well, " he
thought, 'to let these childish white
people doctor a sore foot or toothache,
but this is serious-I might die of thisl
For goodness sake, let me get away in
to drafty native house where can lie
in cold gravel, eat green bananas and
have a real grown up, tattooed man to
raise spirits and say charms over me.
A day or two we kept him quiet and
got him much better. Then he said he
must go. He had had his back broken
in his own island, he said. 1t had come
broken again, and he must go away to
native house and have it mended. Con
found your back, " said We "Lie down
in your bed" At last one day his fever
was quite gone, and he could give his
mind to the broken back entirely. He
lay in the hall 1 was i'll the room
alone All morning and noon heard
him roaring like bull calf, so that the
floor shook with it. 1t was plainly hum
bug. 1t had the humbugging sound Of
a bad child crying, and about Of the
afternoon we were worn out and told him
he might go. Off he set. He was i'll some
kind of white wrapping, with great
white turban on his head, as pale as
clay, and walked leaning on a stick.
But. oh, he was glad boy to get away
from these foolish, savage, childish
white people and get his broken back
put right by somebody with some sense
He nearly died that night, and little
wonder, but he has now got better
again, and long may it last
All the others were quite good, trust
ed us wholly, and staid to be cured
where they were. But then he was quite
right if you look at it from his point of
view, for, though we may be very clev-
er, we do not set up to cure broken backs.
If a man has his back broken, we white
people can do nothing at all but bury
him. And was he not wise, since that
was his complaint, to go to folks who
could do more?-Robert Louis Steven

The question: of an unlimited coin
age of silver at 16 to 1, while debas
ing the currency and making us
silver nation addresses itself forcibly
to the people who are in debt, and who
find it very difficult with our gold
standard and consequent low prices to
find a margin of profit large enough to
pay debts with. 1t is generally con-
ceded that prices of all kinds would be
higher with q silver standard than with
gold standard. That the thing would
be temporary there is no dOnbt, but as
drowning man catches at even a straw
those in debt are willing on the same
theory to catch at the silver straw, and
and let the future take care of itself,
1t is this emergency theory that is
catching many people and makes the
silver party gather votes. And yet all
must concede, even the silver men
themselves, that the effect on the
country from an unstable currency
would be hazardous if not positively
dangerous.

swEerHeARTs ALWAYS.

If sweethearts were sweetheaFts always,
Whether as maid or wife,
No drop would be half as pleasant
In the mingled draft Of life.
But the sweetheart has smiles and blushes
When the wife has frowns and sighs,
And the wife's have a wrathful glitter
For the glow of the sweetheart's eyes.
If lovers were lovers always,
The same to sweetheart and wife,
Who would change for future of Eden
The Joys of this checkered life2
But husbands grow grave and silent,
And care on the anxious brow
Oft replaces the sunshine that persisted
With the words Of the marriage vow.
Happy is he whose sweetheart
Is wife and sweetheart still,
Whose voice, as of old, can charm him;
Whose kiss, as of old, can thrill;
Who has plucked the rose to find ever
It's beauty and fragrance increase,
As the flush of passion is mellowed
In loves unmeasured peace;
Who sees in the step a lightness;
Who finds in the form a grace;
Who reads an unaltered brightness
In the witchery of the face.
Undimmed and unchanged. All, happy
Is he, crowned with such life,
Who drinks the wife pledging the sweet
heart
And toasts in the sweetheart the wife

Her Proof,

The late DR.. Thomson, archbishop of
York, when he was bishop of Glouces-
ter, suffered from toothache, and by
medical advice 'resorted to narcotics to
relieve the pain. One morning. after a
night of great suffering. as he left the
house to consult the doctor, Mrs. Thorn
son begged him not to allow the ply.
sician to prescribe a narcotic, as it
affected his brain for several hours after
taking it. On his way the bishop met
the postman, who handed him a large
official envelope. He opened it in the
street and read his appointment to the
see of York. Instead of visiting the doc
tor he hastened back to communicate
the surprising nsws to his wife.
"Zoe! Zoer' he exclaimed "What
do you think has happened? am arch
bishop Of York. -
'There, there" rejoined the wife.
"What did I tell you? You've been tax
ing that horrid narcotic again and are
quite out Of your head.

in certain exceptional cases, when DIR.

be surprising if the votes that were

Painless Execution.

In Germany the view obtains that the
execution of criminals should be by
some means more certain even than the
electric chair, Dr.. e. Cuhmann, eele-
brated chemist, suggests the use of car
bolic acid. According to his plan, the
criminal would be carried to a cell,
which can be filled noiselessly with car
bolic acid in gaseous form from floor to
ceiling. When the gas reaches the de-
linquent's mouth and nose it causes in
slant paralysis of the lungs and uncon-
sciousness, and life departs without pre-
yious pain.
