HE WAS PESTERED.
Ehe Old Man Had Got Tired OF So Many
Lovers Wanting Hia Daughter.

Fho Old Man Had Got Tired OF So Many
Lovers Wanting His Daughters.
From the Washington Star: A trav-
cling man who makes monthly trips
through West Virginia, told Star re-
porter a story of courtship of his.
There is one of the prettiest girls in
the country living in little West Viz
ginia town. he said. Eat one time I
thought myself very much in love with
her, and wanted to marry her. The
girls father was a customer Of mine,
and l always timed my trips so that I
could spend the evening at his house.
Zone night I concluded to try my
fate, and managing to see her alone, /
proposed to her. I was accepted, con-
ditionally upon my getting her fathers
consent, and was not to ask him until
after she had a chance to soften him a
little. OF course, when went away
that night l thought of nothing but
what presents to send her. / could not
see her for a month, but we could write.
We wrote every day, and I invested a
whole months salary in presents.
when l reached the town again I
called at once to see her, and she told
me to ask her father the momentous
question at once. Approaching the old
man, he said to me: Young man, you
act as If you were going to ask me II
you could marry Sue. If you are, I'll
just say that I've been pestered enough
by her lovers. I've just got to the pint
where / don't care who she marries.
When the New Yorker asked me told
him yes; when the fellow from Chicago
asked me I told him he had my bless
ing; when the Wheeling man wanted
her told him all right. That was last
week. You are the sixth this week, and
I amt going to let you say word.
She told me this morning she was
going to marry young lawyer at our
country seat, and judging from the two
or three wagon loads of parcels she has
received by mail and express the last
two months, l should think she had
about enough plumber to go to house
keeping on right away
ST did not say a word, and skip that
town now-the girl married the
lawyer"

BY A ROUNDABOUT ROUTE.
Course of Missionary's Letter from
pitcairn to Tahiti

Course or a MisslOnarys LeLCef from
Pitcairn to Tahiti
In the possession Of one of the mis-
sionary party, just arrived from the
south seas on the adventist vessel Pit
eairn, is a letter which has an interest
ing and unique history, says the San
Francisco Call. It travelled about $4,000
miles, while the distance between the
mailing point and it's destination is but
1,2OO miles, and it went the most direct
route possible and did not miscarry at
any stage of it's journey. The travels
of a letter sent from Pitcairn island
to Tahiti show, as nothing else can,
the complete isolation of the little Pa
cific paradise founded by John Adams
Tahiti is only about six days sail from
Pitcairn, and is the source whence love-
sick Pitcairners take their wives. But
Ietter-writing, although it forms an i'm
portant part of the courtship, is gen
orally confined to one letter, as when
the answer is received 1t is generally
the arrival of the bride. Except a
small vessel or man of-war consents
to carry letters between the two points,
which opportunity rarely occurs the
only remaining hope is from passing
ship, bound from San Francisco or
Portland to Europe. A gentleman now
residing in Oakland was once deputed
to carry the Pitcairn mail for Tahiti,
and he told the story of how it was
done:
eve left San Francisco in the ship
City of Hankow, and were off Pitcairn
island on Christmas day. Only about
one ship makes the island, and as we
should lose no ground by waiting a few
hours we hove to and signaled to
Adams point Then the two boats
Queen Victoria and Admiral Drew came
off with two loads of vegetables. Gov.
Mccoy also came off and asked us to
carry some letters to Tahiti. We rather
smiled at$first, but when he produced
seven letters and told lis that there
was no other way to send them we
consented, and after paying for our
fruit and vegetables we started on our
trip. Those letters were the cause Of
good deal of inconvenience. When the
captain landed at England he took the
letters ashore and went to the post
master. Then he was informed that he
must make an affidavit and must apply
to the postmaster general for IA cents,
the tariff for carrying letters from
countries not in the postal union.
Eventually the letters were landed
in the Falmouth postof1ce, after
we had carried them about $4,000
miles. From Falmouth they went to
Southampton, and were sent in the
usual course Of events to New York, an
other 5000 miles. Then they crossed
10 San Francisco and were put on
Board one of the Australian steamers
and put off at the nearest point to Ia
hfti, their destination. The remainder
of the journey was covered with small
boat. In all the letters travelled dis
lance of over $4,000 miles and occupied
four months and half en- route"

Most people have an idea that royalty
has an easy time Of 1t, but the fact
is that kings and queens, even in times
of peace, are almost as hard worked

HE ROLLED OUT OF JAIL,
Surprising Adventures OF q Man Who
Made a Break for Liberty.

Surprising Adventures OF Man Who
Made a Break for Liberty.
Ted Dillon, the Ludlow section man
who is charged with forgery has
escaped from Jail second time. Dill
lon was apprehended last Saturday,
while making his way to this city from
Ludlow, station in the desert. He
was charged with stealing time check
and forging the Endorsement in order to
cash it. He was taken back to Bar
stow for preliminary examination Mon
day, and the same evening, while the
officers had him out for an airing, he
gave them the slip. The next morning
he was found IS miles away, and he
must have walked the whole distance
that night. He was again taken back
to Barstow, and the examination post
poned until Fridy morning. Dillon an
nounced that he had sent to San Ber-
nardino for an attorney.
This was only a play for time, and his
opportunity came the same evening.
The two officers who had him In charge
left him in Jail while they went to sup
per but they took the precaution to lock
a pair of handouts around billions
ankles. They were so tight that Dill
Ion complained of the pain. The off,
GERS were gone but few minutes, but
when they returned they found the door
open and foot prints in the dust, indi-
eating that Dillon had taken long jumps
toward Doggett. The officers followed
the trail mile and half, and then
lost it. In the morning they discov-
cred that Dillon had doubled back to-
ward Barstow He had found hut
frequented by tramps, and by means OF
pair Of fishplates had cut the links
holding the handouts together. From
the hut Dillon hod gone directly to Bar
stow, and from there the officers have
no trace of him. billions trip from
the Jail down the track and back to the
hut must have been at no small per-
sonal discomfort. The trail showed
that he had at times rolled for a dis
lance Of fifty yards, this probably
when the irons became too painful to
permit him to jump.-San Francisco

LITERARY REPUTATION.
1t May Be Divided Into Two Distinct
Kinds.


1t is curious how great an amount of
work a man or woman may do-and
exceedingly good work at that-before
beginning to reap public acclaim and
to hear their names in the mouths Of
men, says the New Bohemian. Reputa-
ton is not made by reciting ones own
deeds, nor do you win your way to the
editors heart by that method. Unless
you are so famous that your name has
decided value, so that it may be
counted upon to sell goodly number
of copies of the magazine, or to call out
press notices of distinct advertising
value to the publication in which 1t
appears, it makes absolutely no differ
ence to an editor whether you have
ever published line. If this one arti-
Gle that you now submit is of value in
itself he wants it; otherwise not. So
counsel you not to attempt to advertise
yourself, and succeed only in advertis-
ing your immaturity.
There are two distinct sorts Of repu-
tation for the writer. One is that
which puts his name before the public
and makes him the rage for an hour or
day. This is secured oftener by acct
dent than any other manner, by some
piece of work which has touched the
public fancy for moment, or that has
attracted the attention of q critic Or re-
viewer who has the power to make
others accept his verdict. This is the
sort that Mr.. Anthony Hope and Mr.
Stanley Weyman are enjoying just
now, and which gives their pens the
power to coin words into gold with
startling rapidity. The other sort is
gained in the editorial Offices, by send
ing with some frequency work that is
steadily good and occasionally excel
lent. Editors soon awaken to the fact
that they have writer who can be de-
pended on to furnish something worth
looking at, at the least, and his manu-
scripts will never go back without care
full examination; a goodly share of them
will be ccepted-subject always to the
condition that single publication will
not use too much Of the work of any
one writer-and those which go back
will be sent with sincere regret.

THEY ISSUE PERMITS.
The Privileges Extended to Bicyclists in
Elmira, New York.

The Privileges Extended to Bicyclists in
E1mira, New York.
The sentiment of the cyclists of the
city on the matter of the riding on side
walks on otherwise impossible streets,
is growing in strength each day. The
citizens of Kenosha who feel disposed
to kick about their very reasonable
demands, should remember that this
city owes a great portion of its present
life and prosperity to the very fact that
our wheeling interests are SO large.
Kenosha today would be an almost
helpless bankrupt were it not for the
two big bicycle factories doing the
enormous business they do in turning
out wheels. Those factories being here
undoubtedly stimulates our citizens to
the greater activity in the matter of
purchasing wheels. And surely the
mere matter of purchase of wheel
cannot make the change of putting a
blood thirsty desire in persons heart
to MAIN or injure humanity. The man
who has a wheel today is just as rea-
sonable as he was yesterday before he
got it, and he is not going to use it as
an instrument of torture any more than
he would other things which are easy
of abuse. Some Of our citizens don't
seem to realize these very evident facts.
But they are true, nevertheless.
Now, all the Wheelmen of Kenosha
ask is something reasonable. Inquiry
has developed the fact that in Elmira,
n. Y, permits are issued to wheelmen
by the mayor, under certain strong
rules, and under the further condition
that a bond be furnished the city for
the faithful observance of the city's
regulations. There are eight rules
laid down which cover all possible con-
tingencies. The result there is report
ed to be entirely satisfactory The
bond has the necessary deterrent in
fluence, and keeps the wheelmen with
in reasonable bounds.
All honorable wheelmen of this city
deplore the recklessness of some of
the hair Drained riders, who have I'M
fortunately got to scorching" and
misusing people. They can easily be
kept down and controlled, if they are
placed under the responsibility Of a.
bond forfeiture.
Then, again, there are great risks
being run by Kenosha in enforcing
this bicycle ordinance in impossible
streets. There are plenty of decisions
in courts which point out that a city
must keep its streets in a passable
condition. Heavy damages can be OBJ
tanned if any party really feels called
upon to sue the city on that ground.
Let some one be caught on the side
walk on some deeply sandy street and
take the impassability of the streets
into court and the city would have a
warm time defending itself.
Our wheelmen are looking upon all
sorts of legal points and before long
the authorities will find trouble on
their hands, undoubtedly.
Still, as long as that ordinance is in I
force let it be rigidly enforced. There
is no surer way of working up the
growing opposition to it.

THEY DON'T LIKE O'HARE.
The Windsor Cycle Club Members Will
Petition the Council for His Removal.


Petition the Council for His Removal.
The members of the Windsor Cycle
club don't like Officer O'Hare. They
want him removed from the police
force and will petition the council at no
late day, at which time they will bring
charges against him. The petition is
now signed by about 200, and recites
that Officer O'Hare drinks in saloons
when supposed to be on duty, and that
he has threatened to use gun on any
bicycle rider who did not stop when
ordered to do so. Then the petition
goes on to state that "we do not con-
slider a man efficient as police officer,
who, in making an arrest on April %,
dropped his revolver on the ground,
when, in fact, there was no occasion to
use one. In place of looking for pro-
lection from a sworn officer of the law,
we may walk the streets in dread OF re-
ceiving bullet fired from the hands Of
an incompetent Office. 1t is not under
the impulse of the moment that We
petition your honorable body for this
officers removal, but from long eX-
perience and consideration. We have
no personal or political feeling in this
matter, but in justice to the public, we
feel justified in taking this action

Pearls and oysters.

Pearls are found in all waters where
oysters or mussels abound. They have
been discovered in the shells OF the
common mussel in many rivers of the
United States. The most extensive pearl
fisheries. however, are those in the Red
Sea. in the Persian gulf and in the In
dian ocean, off the island of Ceylon.
The product of the Red sea and Per-
sian gulf does not cut any considerable
figure in the worlds supply, which
comes mainly from Ceylon and the
Indian coast, where pearl diving Is a
regular business with thousands OF
men. tr-.9a

Vanderbilt Was In the Game.


CPL bet those fellows won't have a
bit of fun" said an official Of the New
York Central railroad, who was watch
ing the Vanderbilt party start for the
Pacific coast. Then he added.
don't suppose they will have a single
game. If they do, and some one held a
pretty fair hand, Cornelius would raise
him a million dollars, and then where
would the man with the cards be?"
This reference to poker games led to
one of the party telling story about
William H. Vanderbilt. Mr.. Wander
bilt had few friends out with him on
a trip in his private car, and a quiet III
tie game of poker was proposed. me
tacit agreement was that the limit was
to be SIS. The game went along with
the usual fluctuations, until suddenly
one of the party caught an excellent
hand. He took advantage Of the fact
that it was not an ironclad limit, but
anly a tacit agreement, and insisted on
raising $50. w. H. Vanderbilt's eyes
twinkled. When it came around to his
bet he "saw" the $50 and then said: I'll
raise you $4,000" But you cannot DO
that" protested the first bettor. on

Newest Bullets.

Steel coated rife bullets for the new
magazine guns cause very little pain,
says DR.. Delorme, surgeon in chief of
the French army. During the riots at
Fourmies one man was wounded so
badly as to be paralyzed, but did not
suspect that he had been shot through
until he saw bloodstains on his cloth
ing. One, shot through the leg, only
felt a slight SILVER; another, shot
through the arm, felt his elbow twftch
and closed his fist mechanically. At
short range the bullets, like the new
bullets of our own army, are apt to ex-
Dl0de and do serious mischief.
