A Bandits Victim Tells How II Feels
tn he Held Tn.

81 happen to know how it feels to be
held up" said a gentleman who now
occupies position of prominence in To-
cal railroad circles. Il acquired my
experience as a passenger in a stage
coach about six miles from Tombstone,
A. T.. In 1884. We had big load. six
men inside, two on the drivers seat
and an express messenger on the boot
Every man in the crowd had a revolV-
er, two of the inside passengers had
Winchesters across their knees. and
the messenger had an 8 bore duck
gun that contained nearly quart or
slugs. We were held up at about 4 IN
the afternoon by a single masked man,
who rose suddenly from behind pie
of rocks and covered US with sawed
Off shotgun All the curtains were
raised, so there was fair view OF the
interior, and when he yelled Hands
upy everybody obeyed.
"Then he told US to get out one by
one and stand in a row, with our backs
to him. / never hated to do anything
so badly in my life. but saw the 9th
ers going and followed suit. About
that time half grown boy, apparently
unarmed. appeared from behind the
rocks and took up the collection, which
Included our joint arsenal. After that
we were ordered back, and the CHER
bandit told the driver to go ahead.
LAS far as | know, the robbers were
never caught. but what especially i'm
pressed me about the episode was the
reluctance of any of our party to take
the initiative. | was certain the slight
est resistance would be successful. but
| realized also that the man who made
the first move had an excellent chance
of being killed. and ! suppose all the
others felt the same way. Anyhow. 1t
happened exactly as | have narrated
it. During the year lived in Arizona
there were eight or nine hold ups on
the same road. and in no instance was
there any resistance whatever. That

COMPANY DINNERS.

They Are Dreaded by Guests and
Make the Hostess Nervous.
Writing on Making Company of
Guests" Edward Box. in The Ladies'
Home Journal, considers ''it a curious
fact that American housewives are so
Ioath to believe that dinner with fuss
and feathers is dreaded By the vast
majority of people. The highest COM
pliment we can possibly show guest
at dinner is to let him partake of an
ordinary meal, to let him come quietly
in and be one of the family yet this
is the very compliment which we with
hold from him. Instead Of giving a
guest what he would relish most we
give him what he really enjoys least.
LET a hostess be ever so graceful
and tactfuI, let there be years of ex-
perience on her shoulders. yet nothing
can conceal from her guests that the
dinner which she is serving is other
than an unusual one. 1t is formal af-
fair, and no amount of grace can make
anything else of it. for nothing speaks
so loudly or so unerringly as formal
company dinner. Every course shows
it; every movement Of the waitress pro-
claims it; every piece Of china fairly
cries out the occasion.
''And of course no one at the table
really enjoys it. The guest certainly
does not, because he knows be is being
made company of. and that feeling is
always enough to offset every enjoy
ment. The hostess does not. for she
hasn't the time. Her eyes are for the
table and her servants, not for her
guest

Seen In the Rough.

Tortoise shells as they are unIoaded
from the ships are far from beautiful
To be classed as rough they must be
just as they were when taken from the
tortoises' backs. 1t is not until washed
and secured with acids that their ex
quisite coloring shows. The same Is
true Of the beautiful seashells which
come here from the shores of India and
other tropical lands. There is almost
as much difference between them in
the rough and when finished as there
is between uncut diamonds and those
that have passed through iapidary's
hands.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

day the commander was in swimming.

Gotnato BedInIpd,a.

Going to bed in India is very diff
ferent process from going to bed at
home To begin with. it is far less
formal process. There is no shutting
the door. no cutting yourself off from
the outer world no going up stairs
and finally no getting into bed. You
merely lie down on your bed. which.
with its bedding. is so simple as TO be
worth describing. The bed is a wooden
frame with webbing laced across it.
and each bed has thin cotton mat

and two pillows go to each bed. That's
