Conscience the Coward.

Murderers uncaught suffer awful
agonies Of fear when alone with their
consciences, but when apprehended,
tried, convicted. sentenced and incar-
cerated they become callous to fear
Jailers tell me this is the general rule
There is an acquitted murderer in this
city, once leading politician, who has
not been able to sleep alone in dark
room these 30 years. A light must be
kept burning and an attendant is con-
stantly on guard. A Wall street bro
ker, who has done" every one of his
most faithful friends dares not go to
bed In the dark He keeps q light
burning in his room and one in the
hall, leaving the door open. In the
small hours Of the morning he awak-
ems his family with pitiful cries. The
city man who is not afraid of the dark
est alleys, who will brave thugs and
stable gangs at any hour Of the night,
is in panic when alone in forest

THEY BUILT THE ROAD.
And Gould Knew Where to Get the
Rails to Do 1t.

saHiAs ~ Do II.
Jay Gould once wanted to build q
short line to certain place and found
rivals in the field To Sylvester T..
Smith he gave imperative orders, Get
out as big force as possible, and COM
plete the road before the other fellows
get wind of it. and We'll head 'em off. :"
Smith reported presently, "Mr.
Gould, we can get all the ties, fish
plates, bolts. nuts and spikes we want,
but we can't get the rails" "Tele-
graph to every mill in the country, and
pay any price," said Gould. 81 have
done so. and there is no chance for a
delivery under u months" Then"
said the little wizard, 'go somewhere
and tear up something. We've got
to have rails" He indicated the road
to destroy. branch or feeder of the
Union Pacific.
Smith soon had the old road torn up
and the new one laid down. Then
came war. Stockholders of the Union
Pacific learned of the enterprise and
hailed Smith to court to answer for
tearing up railroad that belonged to
them. To their questioning he admit
ted all and had no excuse but that Jay
Gould ordered him to do it.
'Who is Jay Gould?" some asked.
what has he got to do with it,"
Up rose young lawyer from New
York to inform them that Mr.. Gould
owned all the bonds of the Union Pa
cific road, though not a dollar of its
stock, and that he was absolute pro-
prietor Of the feeder that Mr.. Smith
had torn up. There never was more
surprised and mystified lot of men,
They had nothing more to say.-San

What They Deserved.

Not very long since an exceedingly
we'll dressed man about 35 was charg-
ed in a north London court with being
drunk. He promptly paid his 10 shil-
lings' fine and went away. A fortnight
later stylishly dressed woman was
charged with a similar offense. AS
she gave the same name and address
concluded they We're husband and wife.
So l called on them, and my visit was
repeated several times. They had a
very nice home, kept two servants and
had four children. l noticed a bonny
lad of s, as saw him several times.
Some months later got letter as fol-
lows:
Dear Mr. Eolmes-You know my Jack. the
S-year-old l am sorry to say that he has got
into bad ways-steas money from us, stops out
late and is very disobedient. Can you get him
into any training home or institution of any
kind where his evil propensities will be cured
Kindly oblige us in this.
I could not resist the temptation to
reply as follows:
Dear Sir-I know of but one cure for Jack 5
evil propensities, and that is thorough applica-
ton OF the horsewhip to both parents

He Remembered Them

"By the way" said the man who had
stopped at a farmhouse to water his
horse, "15 years ago a poor boy came
this way, and you took him in"
"Yes?" queried the farmer, somewhat
surprised.
You We're kind to him." went on the
stranger; you fed him, gave him
words Of encouragement and an old
suit of clothes. put dollar in his pock-
ct and sent him on his way rejoicing.
He told you at the time that he never
would forget your kindness. Am
right?'
II reckon you are" replied the farm
Gle said that if he prospered he
would see that you never had occasion
to regret your kindness to poor strug-
Cling lad"
Lands sakes" exclaimed the farm
er's wife excitedly. "It sounds almost
like fairy tale. don't it? Why, you
must have seen him.
81 have" said the stranger. land he
sent message to you"
What is it?' they both asked ex-
pectantly.
"He told me to tell you that he is
still poor"
AS the stranger drove away the
farmer went out and kicked the pump
viciously, while his wife threw roll
ing pin at the chickens.-New York

Paderew.ki the Deceiver,

This is how a Kansas newspaper
man criticised Paderewski:
I'VE heard the Polander Paderewski
play the piano in Convention hall, Kan
sas City. The fellow is deceitful. H..
makes you think all the time he is go.
ing to play tune, but he never does.
He tlirts all around tune, but never
touches it. His hair looks like wig
but it isn't. He deceives you in a hun
dred ways. He makes the sweetest
sounds you ever heard that were not a
tune. He has his piano SO trained tha'
the doggone thing will keep right on
playing when he is not touching it.
He reaches out slowly and strokes it.,
drawing back his elbows like man
brushing a girls hair. You see the
moonlight, and you're there with your
girl, but somehow she doesn't love you.
You know the sorrow of that, and
that's why we don't like Paderewski.
We wouldn't go to hear him again, but
we wouldn't take 500 for what we
heard at Convention hall"

SHE HAS A NEW VALlsE.
Why She Bought 1t and Why, Also
She Will Not Lend 1t.

she VIII Not Lend 1T.
A Portland woman tells this story,
which may have a moral:
Several years ago her husband made
her present of travelling bag made
Of black Russia leather. handsomely
mounted and strong and serviceable.
She had had it only few days when
the sister-in-law Of her boarding mis-
tress borrowed it to take with her to
the White mountains. 1t looked so
much nicer than her own was her
apology. 1t had only been returned
few days when friend who was
going to take little journey up
among the hills Of Oxford county beg,
ged the loan of it. and again it was
taken down from 'the upper shelf"
Then another friend was to make a
visit Of few weeks in Montreal.
Could she take it? She could and did.
BY this time the new look had van
ished. and still its owner had had no
occasion to carry it.
One evening favorite cousin called.
He was captain of brig which was
to sail for the coast of Africa the next
day, but he himself was going on a
steamer via England. Did his cousin
have valise she wouldn't need for
six months or SO? Reluctantly the
travelling bag was produced. and that
was the last time the lady saw it for
two years. when it reached her by the
hand of sailor from the brig. But 1t
was in such battered and forlorn
condition that she consigned it to the
waste barrel.
In the meantime she had bought a
new valise, which she declined to lend.

Curious African Custom,.

Among the human sacrifices of the
delta of the Niger, says Count de
Cardi, young girls occupy the most
honored place. They are at regular
periods offered up to the gods, and in
stead of shrinking from this horrible
doom they accept it with pride and
gratitude. Nothing is refused TO these
girls while they are alive. If one Of
them sees a handsome dress cr orna-
ment on woman and expresses de-
sire to have it, the woman must give it
to her. Men are also sacrificed, though
not for religious reasons, and they
welcome death as eagerly as the girls.
Count de Cardi once tried to save one
of these victims, but instead of thank
Ing him, the man reviled him so bitter
~ for inSsrfering and scolded the by
ISLANDERS SO heartily for delaying to
carry out the sentence that they
promptly stopped his mouth by killing
him.
The worst insult which one woman
can offer to another is to hold out the
right hand in front of her with the in
deX and middle finger forming the let
ter V. This means, you will become
the mother of twins" When twins are
born in this region, they and their
mothers are killed, as a rule, and when
mother dies in giving birth to child
| the latter is also killed and buried with
her. 1t is not superstition which i'm
pels the negroes to dispose of mother
less infants in this heartless fashion.
but the great difficulty of rearing them.
Altogether, the information which
Count de Cardi has gathered during
his residence of many years in this
portion, of Africa is of rare value, espe-
cially to anthropologists.
