HOW TO ROB TRAINS.
Theory of Noted Criminal Who Did
1t Once Too Often,

James True, the train. robber, is in
Jail here, accused of holding up train
single-handed. True is a fine looking
man, about 35 years of age, and while
he has a cool, determined looking air
about him, he is not person who would
be picked out as one of the most daring
train robbers of modern times. The
charge against him was made by the
United States authorities for the rea-
son, as alleged, that he robbed a mail
car. The offense was committed last
winter at Uintah, Utah. Newspaper
readers will remember about the hold
ing up of train at that place, the rob-
berry of the mail and express cars and
the terrorizing of the passengers. At
first it was declared that large band
OF masked men had attacked the train,
and that hundreds of shots were fired
to create the impression that there was
a small army of robbers.
After it was all over, however, it was
ascertained that the deed was the work
of one man. He had gone staggering
through the train and alongside of it
crying out orders to his ''men," accom-
panying each order with a vicious oath
and a pistol shot. The trainmen and
the passengers concluded that band of
robbers had surrounded them and were
lying alongside the railroad track
ready to send volley of rifle bullets
into the train at the command of the
leader. The robber is said to have Sc
cured lot of rich booty from the mail
car, but he was unable to get into the
safe of the express car, and contented
himself with small articles.
A hot search was Immediately made
for the robber through the mountains
about Uintah, but without success
Sheriffs. constables and detectives final
lv abandoned the search, but Uncle
Sans men never grew weary, and it is
claimed that strong case has been
made against True. 1t is claimed that
the prisoner was formerly a railroad
man, and that he was at one time the
leader of an organized band of robbers
in Colorado. He says that he has a
wife and children residing in Utah.

1T CANNOT BE.

It cannot be that He who made
This wondrous world for our delight
Designed that all its charms should fade
And pass forever from our sight;
That all should wsther and decay,
: And know on earth no life but this,
With only one finite survey
OF as tts beauty and it's bliss.
1t cannok be that all the years
OF toll and care and grief we live
Shall find no recompense but tears,
No sweet return that earth can give;
That all that leads us to aspire
And struggle onward to achieve,
With every unattained desire,
Was given only to deceive.
It cannot be that after all
The mighty conquests Of the mind,
Our thoughts shall pass beyond recall
And leave no record here behind;
That all our dreams of love and fame,
And hopes that time has swept away,
All that enthralled this mortal frame,
Shall not return some other day.
1t cannot be that all the ties
OF kindred souls and loving hearts
Are broken when this body dies,
And the immortal mind departs;
That no serener light shall break
At last upon our mortal eyes,
To guide us as our footsteps make
The pilgrimage to Paradise.

ENGLISH HANDS.
A Well-KnOwn Palmist Finds Fine
Qualities in Them.

Qualities I'm Them.
Nine. Thebes, the well-knownpalmist,
went to England recently with the in
tention of studying the hands of certain
prominent English people, her ultimate
object being to ascertain, by means of
such study, the causes of Great Brit
aims greatness. She has now returned
to Paris, and has given a curious ac-
count of her experiences in England.
"Theaverage English hand" she says.
clearly denotes happiness. All these
hands are firm and Slightly red, and
the fingers are square, which is the
tokenof punctuality, good sense, energy
and activity. Honesty is also denoted,
and this will not surprise those who
know how upright Englfshmen are.
The English women have long thumbs,
which is a sign of strong will unless
contrary lines in the hands modify this
tendency. Now, all these qualities
which have mentioned are good, and
those who possess them are naturally
happy and fortunate.
Furthermore, I examined nearly a
thousand hands among all classes of
society-courtiers, as we'll as working
people-and in all I found one very
characteristic sign, namely, the senti-
ment of unity of the Anglo-SaXon race
This sign is not to be found in French
hands. According to al persons rank
and social position in France will his

I can always. in France, distinguish the
aristocrat from the plebeian.
''In English hands there are no traces
of organic diseases. In the thousands
which examined found only one case
of typhoid fever. and in this instance
the disease was contracted abroad. No
one who knows the progress of hygiene
in England can be surprised at this alb
sence of disease. Neither did I find
in the hands of members of the English
court any presages of accidents, such
as 1 have found in French hands. nor of
revolution, such as have found at the
court of Italy.

''The usefulness of such work is mani

tain that many of the casualties fore
shadowed by the hands cannot, as a
rule, be avoided. A person who is
threatened with a violent blow on the
head will find it very difficult to escape
it. Still. by the use of will power and
by taking all necessary precautions it
may be avoided. I have seen in the

CHAPTER Ill.

They had not far TO go, but it was
rough climb, and the young mans first
words were of apology when, spring
ing 10 the ground, he came back to seize
her horse by the bit and guide him up
the last few feet over an almost per-
pendicular mass of loose gray rock.
Il would have gone round by the trail
if l had known it was quite so rough;
but we're all right now," he said, turn
ing to try the door of the rude hut to
which they had come. The horses
were huddled together on a small,
rhomboidal bit of ground formed at the
top of an old dump pile, which went
crumbling away in a sheer descent far
down among the trees, some of which
had been half buried in the lava-like
flow. At the left yawned the mouth of
a tunnel about which appeared no sign
of recent work, while the rough slab
door of the shanty was fastened by
chain and paddock so rusted that they
seemed to have been exposed to the
storms of years. By no means daunted
by this obstacle, however, the young
man coolly caught up u jagged piece of
rock and in a moment the staple was
broken and the door thrown open.
'If you will just step inside while l
run the horses into the tunnel" he
hastily advised, when he had lifted her
TO the ground. Dorothy needed no
second bidding, but once within the
door she paused, peering about doubt
fully. 1t was nothing more than rude
smithy, obviously designed merely for
the sharpening of drills used in the
tunnel, its floor the bare, brown earth,
its only equipment a great stone forge
in one corner with an anvil at one side,
few empty candle-boxes, small pile
of wood, and some picks and drills
thrown down with other undistin-
guishable rubbish in one corner.
1T is not quite the lap of luxury, but
we might do worse" the stranger smil-
ingly observed, as he came back, car
rying his hat filled with pine cones,
while he was further laden with an
armful of broken sticks. 'And fire
will help the looks of things amazingly"
ITO say nothing of the comfort of it."
Miss Meredith rejoined, her teeth chat
tering as she smiled How cold it has
grown!"

vaunted climate; it has a capacity for

THE SENATOR'S COW.
A Deal That Cost the Statesman Very
Heavily.

Heavily.
When, in a certain legislative pro-
ceeding, it was proposed to make an APP
preparation in a series of expenditures
that never came to an end, Hon. Phi
letus Sawyer, then United States SEN
ator from Wisconsin, said that the case
reminded him of cow that he once had
ON his farm. He told the story thus:
T"Once, when we were living on the farm
man came along and wanted to buy a
certain Cow. 1 Ioffered him another, but
nothing would do but the one he had
pointed out. Then told him that that
cow was one had given to my wife.
and that could not sell it without her
consent.
"'Well,' said the man, wouldn't she
sell the.cow?'
II went into the house and asked my
wife if should sell the COW.

her several thousand dollars of it, and
wondered when the credit would be eN-
hausted, when we built a house. Then
it had to be furnished. We figured up
what the cost would be of the things
wanted, and found that it amounted TO
several thousand dollars. I said
wife, I'll pay you the balance of
that cow money, and you can pay for
furnishing the house with it.
