TenderlOfn Cabman Showed that He
Had a Good Heart.
There was a little touch of nature,
just one of those faint little things
that crop out once in a while in even
the most hardened, but it showed that
Zone Wing loved the horse that had
made money for him.
"One Wings" other name is Warren,
and for years he has been a Tenderloin
hackman. His fellows nicknamed him
because he has but one arm.
AS usual, early yesterday morning
ne was at his old stand at Thirtieth
street and Sixth avenue. The old
horse that for ten. years had dragged
the ancient cab, which was but recent
~ supplanted by smart Victoria,
was crunching his oats.
Four we'll dressed pleasure-seekers
came along and leaped into the Victo-
ria.

Zone Wing" was at the horses head,
and in an instant the feed-bag was off,
and the next second he was on the
box.
"Get up, Billv' he shouted to the
horse.
The animal turned, then his frame
shook. and he collapsed and fell.
The quartet leaped out, and after
making ribald jests at the animals ex-
pense, wandered off.
A veterinary surgeon was sum-
moned, looked at the animal and an
nounced: Spinal menengitis. He
can't live"
Then the other side Of zone Wings"
nature showed itself.
Gle won't suffer long. He's been too
good friend Of mine," he said. IF
he's got to die, want him to die pain
less.''
Then he hurried to the Thirtieth
street station and got a policeman,
who soon ended the horses suferings.
Then "One Wing" went off to drown
his sorrows.-New York Telegraph.

were standing three or four shotguns.
He handed a gun to me, though I re-

lous exhibition of myself, but, as it
happened, I fired the only shot fired
that day, and it was a bullseye. Right
in the center of the field that we were
crossing there was big dead tree, so
or 70 feet high, and on the topmost
branch of it sat solitary pigeon. The
quick-eyed host, a keen sportsman
himself, turning around to see if I
were coming all right-he was walk
ing just ahead with the others-spied
that pigeon. There's a chance for
you,' he said to me, enthusiastically,
as he looked up at the bird, and I
couldn't do any less than make a bluff
at it. I swung the old shotgun up and
fired, all in one movement, and drop
ped the bird just as neat as you please.
The host was delighted; it would have
been a good fair shot for anybody to
make, and he was especially pleased
that it should have been made by one
of his guests. The rest had turned in
time to see the pigeon fall. I had
protested that I was no shot, and they
all thought now that I was far too
modest. And so by that single chance
shot got the reputation, at least for
the moment, of being very handy With

that science has been able to cure in all it's
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity Catarrh being a constitu-

acting directly upon the blood and mucous sur

foundation Of the disease, and giving the patient

gress to improve with locks and dams
the Ouachita river, so as to make it
navigable for commerce all the year

chief branch of the Red river, and un
der the name of the Black river, emp
ties into the Red near it's junction with
the Mississippi, is navigable for steam
boats during the high water season far
up into Arkansas, and could, with the
aid of dams and locks, be made high
way for commerce all the year round.
Such an Improvement would give
transportation accommodations to the
entire rich region which is embraced

A remarkable work is being done by
a young colored man in Chicago, and
the recital Of it may be an inspiration
to others. Monroe +. Clark is his
name, and he is full blooded negro,
90 wears old. He went to Chicago
from Kentucky in the worlds fair
year, with no money, but with fairly
good education for one OF his meagrs
opportunities, and with good morals
and ambition. He became q newsboy,
aud his attention to business and his
thrift soon enabled him to buy q
horse and wagon to use in his growing
news business. Now he owns and
uses eight carts and horses, and has q
smart trap in which to drive around.
He owns real estate in the city worth
some thousands of dollars, and also
160 acres OF land in Kentucky. Clark
is also philanthropist in small way.
Three years ago he established home
for his newsboys, now numbering so,
the great majority of them negroes.
He couldn't bear, he says, to see the
little fellows ''going straight to the
reformatory and to the penitentiary,
so he renovated rented barn, and
provides their board, lodging, and
recreation. He is ambitious now tt

NOW while we wish to state most en-
phatcally that we have never heard
a syllable spoken against NJ. Neill's in
tegrity and that we believe him to be
an absolutely honest man, yet it Is OBJ
yIous that any such position as he oc-
cupies it must be very uncomfortable
for an honest man to be In. 1t certain
ly imposes upon him strenuous obi
cations of reticence. and ex treme care
fulness. Indeed, one would think that
Mr.. Neill would wish to stop issuing
crop estimates or would issue them
as rarely as possible and at such late
dates in the season that they would
not work mischief. 3" 1t Is not prob
able, after this year, that any i'm
portance will be attached to anything
that Mr.. Nsill will say or do. Hav-

who were 80 little able to stand it, he
has thrown his credulous followers into
the ditch, where they will have to pay
dearly for their experience.
