BROKE HIS NOSE.
Four Roughs Assault a Man for Refus-
ing to Divide His Lunch,

VIM. c. Uphoff, a laborer en- route
from Chicago to Green River to work
on the railroad grade, was severely
beaten by four men last evening Just
this side of Cheyenne, because he would
not divide his lunch with them. Up
hoff was SO badly hurt that he was
forced to stop over in Laramie to re-
ceive medical attention. His nose was
broken, one Of his teeth was loosened,
and there were several severe contus-
ions on his face. He left for the west
on No. 8 today.
Uphof, who is a very respective look
ing fellow, was travelling in a gang of
about $50 men who occupied four
coaches attached to a freight train
which reached Laramie at $3.50 last ev-
ening. Shortly after the train left
Cheyenne he was set upon by four men
who demanded a share of the lunch he
had provided. He refused to divide
and they set upon him with the result
mentioned. Upon his arrival here he
made an attempt to have his a~ssailants
arrested, but as the offense was COM
mitted in Laramie county, the local Of
ficers decided they had no jurisdiction
in the matter.

General Snyman, the Boer, trained his
guns on the little town Of Mafeking.
Sometimes the bombardment began at
daybreak, sometimes the opening shot
was held back until after breakfast.
But the hour mattered not to the faith
full ape, who had been trained to pro-
tect the garrison and the handful Of
inhabitants. He was ever on the
alert. The instant smoke was seen to
! rise from the Boer batteries the ape,
from an elevated scaffolding or tower,
saw and knew that the huge shells
were, about to pour into the town. And
sometimes before the report Of the
cannon was heard the alarm was
sounded. This consisted Of school
house bell, removed from Its accustom-
er place, and erected close by the apes
lookout.
The. toWnspeople and the garrison
alike.Rere ever, on the qui vive for the
sound Of the bell. They placed. their fate
entirely In the hands Of this sagicious
ianin1A. Before the tinkltng sounds
were!beard, Mafeking looked much the
by earthworks. It's shops were open,
its people were strolling about as quiet
ly and unconcernedly as IL on holi-
day. The ringing Of the bell changed
all this. Beneath the town, under the
streets and houses, were subterranean
tunnels Of all shapes and sizes. In
Kansas they would be termed ICY
clone cellars" They were quickly pre-
pared places of refuge. The bell was
the signal for everyone to seek one Of
these covers. The ape gave the alarm
and everyone scampered.
Many lives were undoubtedly saved
through the watchfulness Of this hoary
General Snyman," and when the siege
was raised he was the recipient Of
great many honors. Later he was ta-
ken to London where he was shown
to admiring crowds from the windows
Of New Oxford street animal deal
er. This life was not agreeable to him,
however, and he was bought by e. H.
Bostock for 5000 at Glasgow. There
he now holds daily receptions and he
seems to appreciate his honors as keen
ly as human being.
The statements Of General Sny-
mans" exploits were doubted In some
quarters at first, but later all skep-
ticism was removed by the statements
Of several residents Of Mafeking dur
ing the seige and by assurances from
South Africa travellers that apes are
frequently trained in that country to
do all sorts Of manual labor. One case
is cited where an ape operates the sig
nails on railroad,

way would be to row out in the dingey;

pulled out to the sea. coasting the far
side and giving the yacht wide berth.
When almost off 1t, fierce row broke
out aboard. Six shooters were let off,
several shots. pretty quickly followed
by yells and curses. Joe saw that the
disturbance was heard on shore; lights
began to dance about in the village.
and the alarm was given.
They'll soon have the gendarmes on
their backs. Now's our time. Well
take the dingey back; it will be an ex-
cuse for getting on board" said the
major. "Sharp's the word, skipper.
Man the boat, every soul you can
spare, cast loose and give way"
A shore boat was already alongside
when we got to the yacht; it had
brought the authorities, for when we
hailed the answer came in French to
keep off, that the police were in charge,
and If we had anything to say 1t must
be by daylight.
Anyway, we'd better bring the tug

against the morning." suggested, and
the advice was considered good, al
though the skipper did not much like
the Job Of entering a strange place in
the dead Of night.
There were more difficulties made
next day, and it was quite late before
the major and Set foot on the Fleur-
de-I.ls. Some more big French toads
had come off from shore-a magistrate,
one or two doctors, and an officer Of
gendarmes-and they had begun a
verbal process" as it Is called; for
there had been wounding and attempt
ed murder, so they said, on board the
yacht.
The long and the short of it was
that the rogues had fallen out among
themselves; with good reason, too,
from the point Of view Of some Of
them. McQuahe, the colonel from
Klondike, had fallen out with Lawford
for assisting our captain to escape
from the yacht, and loosed off at him

ford's help had broken out and got to
shore in the dingey. He. Of course,
was the man Joe had seen.
Questioned as to the confidential
papers, and whether they were on
board, Lawford shook his head.
"The duke has stuck to them.
There's money In them, a big pile. and
he's crossing the pond by tomorrow's
mail to sell them to Uncle Sam. Guess
you won't overtake him. and II you try
to stop him on landing he'll have the
American government on his side.
They're hungering for those papers,
you bet"
"You are positive they are not

Don't tell you? I'm likely to get

1t was now only the afternoon Of

ready to start for England the Chatta-

night. Thence the major and took

wishing he should come to harm.
"That's all right. He understands.
II we have to leave In a hurry. he's to
make the best Of his way back to Eng
land on his own account I gave him
money and explained. No fear OF him"
We got no sign from him the whole
OF that afternoon and evening. The
time passed quickly enough, for the
major and / talked all the time OF
what we thought to do and how we
should do 1t. The boldest plan pleased
US best, and we meant to row straight
for the yacht with all hands, picking
up Joe by the way, board her and trust
to luck and bounce for the rest.
Night came about 8 o'clock, dark
and starless. It was best to get to
work right away, and we were to start
about 8. But little before that we
heard shots and the noise of a rumpus,
faint, but distinct, in the distant. Some
thing was up, certain sure, and in the
direction Of the bay, for the sounds
came from the yacht.
Better not poke our noses into any
row, not till we're driven to It" the
major said quietly. "The nights
young yet. We've got 1t all before
US"
So we waited half an hour, and
were on the point of starting out on
an expedition when we heard sound
of oars approaching.
What could it mean?
Then came q low Hello! Jacob
Silverton ahoyw in Joe's voice, and he
was soon alongside, In a boat that be-
longed to the Fleur-de-Lis. He said
80. anyway, and we were bound to be-
lieve him, although 1t was q confound-
edly queer story.
While he waited among the rocks he
still kept his lookout on the yacht Al.
though 1t had FALLEN dark. he could
make out her hull on the water plainly;
there were lights. too, aboard, with
streaks and reflections strong enough
to show up parts Of her.
Suddenly he saw figure dropping out
of the stern into the yachts dingey,
which seemed to have been put there
on purpose. and which. anyway. was
quickly cast adrift, for 1t f1oated slow
ly and silently away. The tide was
making into the bay, and she must
have been caught on the current. which
carried her inshore. Half way to the
land the figure. which had no doubt
been crouching In the bottom, out Of
sight, got up on to the thwarts and
began pulling like mad.
Joe soon made up his mind. he
must know more about this boat and
the man in 1t; so he got up on to the
top Of the rocks. where there was a
better surface. and ran all he knew to
the head of the bay, following the
sound Of the oars and getting squint
now and again Of the black smudge of
the dingey. He came upon 1t at last.

But the man was gone.

He who goes through form Of con-

come sleepers. The pockets Of Sunday
pants never did have much change.
risked in them.
II talking was the power which runs
the church one man Or woman could
be found in every congregation to do
the work.
| Many throw away one of heavens
richest gifts-opportunities.
| The strongest believers in q ccmmu-
nifty Of goods have the least to put in
the common treasury.
God will not accept the napkins Of ex-
cuses as the equivalent Of the inter-
est which should have been accrued
on the buried talent,
| He who has never had God to wipe
away his tears by an open grave has
missed religions sweetest consolation.
God has enough promising notes
(vows) to bankrupt Him II He was
dependent on men.
Some church members are better able
to stay away from a collection than
they are from places Of sin.
Some parents seems to think that the
best way to train up their children Is
not to train them at all. ,
He who fears God fully fears no one
else.
| All of Uncle Sans idiotic children
are not in the asylum. The man who
has made a reputation has made q
troublesome thing. II he has to look
after much else.
The "Jack-with-the lantern" Chris
tian is dangerous to follow.
II some peoples heavenly citizenship
is like their earthly they will not be
very useful citizens.
| The white cotton blooms of today
will be the reds ones Of tomorrow. The
white lies Of childhood become the
black ones Of manhood and woman
hood.
God never puts tags on His children
to announce that they are Christians.
To feed your soul on the inconsist-
encies of other Christians is to give 1t
poor food indeed.
Those who argue most about the
Scriptures do not always live best.
He who ceases to watch will soon
cease to pray. .
A position which Is above mans
capacity only develops the weakness Of
his character.
A dead man always advocates dead
issues.
Vanity Fair" is always running and
is always patronized.
The man who would enjoy his relig-
ion alone has nothing but selflshness to
enjoy.
We have no right to say that we en-
Joy our religion unless others can say
they enjoy It.
The narrow way is wide enough for
us to walk two abreast into the king
dom.
The hypocrite is the devils acknowl-
edgement Of the genuineness and
worth Of the Christian religion.
The Christian who when away from
home goes to places and does what he
does not frequent and do at home de-
MES in practice the omnipresence OF
God, and Is more concerned about the
opinion of. men than he is for the IA
vor of God.
