TROUBLES or A BENEDICT.
When a man becomes a traitor TO his
political convictions and comes out in
the open he always wonders why he is
not received by the other side with a
loud huzza, losing sight OF the fact
that a traitor can lay claim 30 the con-
ndence and respect Of neither side.

A NOVEL HOLD-UP.

Details OF a hOld-up OF unusual char
acter come TO the ears OF the Wayfarer
from Hcckcesin. A man well-known
in that neighhorhood went 10 a gem
eral store there and hought a pair of
boots, giving tine dealer assurance that
another man. whom they both knew,
would pay for them. 1ne customer
put the boots on ANA went out Shortly
therenfter the dealer met the third
parry alluded 20 and tod him about
the transaction He declared that he
had given the purchaser Of the boots
I'd authority to use his name. and re-
pudiated the debt. This opened the
eyes Of the dealer Arming himself
with revolver he went out to look for
the man with the boots, and found
him sitting hack in the barber's shop.
Take off these bootsi" he ccm-
manded.
The fellow demurred, but the dealer
was insistent and intimated that II
the demand was not complied with the
revolver would be used. Finally the
dealer himself removed the boots from
the fellows feet and left him to walk
home in his stockings
A big scandal resulted The pur-
chaser of the boots threatened to have
the dealer arrested for assault with in
tent to commit murder Lawyers and
friends were called in and the matter
was fixed up before II reached the

certain charges. but he kept his boots

BABlEs AND THEIR DOLE.

One evening recently the Wayfarer
was a spectator in an auction room
where beautiful dolls were being sold
30 the highest bidders. Competition
ran high, and more or less feeling was
cyinced by some OF the women who
were bent on getting something real
nice for the little ones at home. The
eagerness which they displayed in this
behalf led the Wayfarer to soliloquize
on the wisdom OF the sacrifices which
they were making The value OF such
a gif lis measured by the love which
accompanies It and the appreciation
with which 10 is received
The Wayfarer has never had much
20 do with babies or dolls. but, being
OF an Obseryant nature, those which
have come beneath his eye have re-
ceived the customary attention given
10 all objects of human interest and
study This attention has convinced
him that babies have no particular love
for beautiful and finely-dressed dolls.
Many mothers and fathers may hold
that this observation is not correct. but
he sees with his own eyes. and must
believe what he sees. The older,
N-itl anu DiOlt uIidlIudttN a uOll is,
the nearer it comes to filling in the
heart OF the child the human longing
FOR someone or something to love.
Beautiful faces and fine clothes cannot
wean away the affection which has
been bestowed on the homelier inhabi-
tant Of Doll land There are instances
without number in which homemade
rag dolls are held in warmest affection
and costly dolls of foreign manufac-
ture contemptuOusly caet aside. The
first doll may upon its initial introduc-
ton TO The nursery. be perfectly salts
flying to the artistic se-se of tho Older
members OF the family, but it. never
really wins the latsing love Of the baby
until It has been stripped Of its purple
and fine linen; sustained partial loss
of its magnificent suite of blonde hair;
had one eve gouged out; lost a foot by
amputation; suffered a compound frac-
tufe of the elSull and arm; and had
the parallels Of latitude and longitude
scratched on its face with a pin or pen
