WIN Ask for Their Pardon.

There are number of consumptives
and aged decrepit convicts serving
terms In the penitentiary, who are
unable to be of any assistance in
maintaining the institution and they
prove a constant drain on the income.
Superintendent Smith is writing to
the relatives of these people to know
If they will support them, and If they
care to take them, he will ask the
Governor to pardon them. An old
woman, who is serving life sentence,
is perfectly helpless. She can hardly
move a member of her body. 1t is
the Superintendent's idea to have the
incurables pardOned.

Shooting and a Bust Up-A Case Of
Mistaken Identity.
When the Boston Ideal Dramatic COM

play three night engagement, we had a
little talk with the manager and tried to
make it plain to him what our people
wanted in the line of theatricals. The
man gave US to understand that he knew
his business and wanted no advice The
play was the 9 Merchant of Venice, - and
when we saw the curtain go up we knew
what would happen. The boys on the
front seats waited for the Indians to ap-
pear, but none showed up. They hung on
in hopes of a clog dance, but no one shut

In five minutes the house was empty and
the actors making for the hills. We caught
one brief glimpse of the pigheaded man
ager, and were glad to observe that he was
paler than ghost and running ahead of
the procession. Next day three or four of
the actors found themselves and got out of
town, but it was bad bust up for the
company. Let our people have what they
want and they will pay for it and enjoy it,
but any attempt to force a thing upon
them always results disastrously. We
want murder, abduction, rescue, singing,
dancing and a fight with Indians in
play and companies not willing to crafty

hands upon our esteemed contemporary
and made ready to bear him hence. 1t was
a case of mistaken identity. How on
earth any one could have mixed up
humpbacked, lopsided, skinny old critter
like our contemporary with a man who
was called Terrible Bill'' and had shot
three men we cannot possibly understand,
but such was the case. We were one of a
dozen to step forward and declare the mis-
take, and the sheriff went away without a
prisoner. Nothing more ridiculous has
ever happened in the history of Giveadam
Gulch, and the people won't get over
laughing for weeks. Our esteemed gave
US no thanks for swearing to his identity
On the contrary, he has threatened to
make it hot for us, believing that we had
something to do with the case. We hadn't,
of course, but if it will do him any good
to get out an old gun and pop away at US
he is welcome. He cam hit barn at ten
feet, and the only thing we object to is
the wheezy sound his old pistol makes
when he pulls trigger. He ought to pour
in some troches for hoarseness along with
the cartridges or feed the thing over night
on cough sirup. We felt sorry for the
sheriff when he went away, though he
said he should have felt degraded for life
to take such man along with him and
pass him off as terror.
Not a Petition.
Postmaster James Hellso, who is our
self, was informed the other day that Mr..
John White, the insurance agent, had
drawn up a petition to the president to
have us bounced and be made postmaster
in our place. We at once made a call at
Mr.. Whites Office and found him in. He
was expecting US, but not till later hour,
and that was the reason his shotgun was
standing in a corner instead of lying across
his knees. Before he could reach the gun
we detained him and oourteously inquired
as to the petition. At first Mr.. White had
an idea that he would like to be postmas-
ter. After five minutes talk we convinced
him that the position was full of trials
and tribulations and would give him no
end of worry, and ne decided that he
1idn' want it. He hadn't exactly drawn
up petition, but was on the eve of doing
SO. He will now abandon the idea and
attend strictly to insurance matters, which
is good thing all around. We are post
master. We intend to remain postmaster.
Any critter around town who thinks he
can root US out will discover that he is
short of ballast. We don't deny his right,
but we shall call on him and argue the
matter and hope to convince him that he
is wasting his time. M. QUAD.
