Following up the thought, hs knelr by the track and placed his tongue on one Of the rails. The sen- sation was delightful, but he had not enjoyed it long before he heard a train coming, and then. to his dis may. found that his tongue was frozen tor the rail. There was nothing to do but pull it loose, and when he did that he thought it was coming out by the roots. A visit to doctor re- assured him on that point, and he eventually got well. It will never be as good a tongue as it was, but he has heap more sense than he had before.

NEITHER WAS. SLOW.
Remarkable Pistol Duel of Two
 Bad Men of Colorado.
Both Quick on the Trigger, Bat Brat ion Was the Hetter Marksman- Escaped with One Hand and
 Still Plays the Fiddle.

t'The most affectionate looking two. handed gun play that l ever saw," said Colorado gentleman in one of the house committee rooms to a Washing ton Post reporter, twas the one that happened at La Junta, in my state, be. tween Big Divide Jim Bratton and George Cannon. as pizenish pair of real bad men of the type that has now passed away as ever famed a .45 or twisted a Bowie. Cannon was the pro- prietor of the Gilt Edge honkatonk in La Junta, and it was at this place that he had some trouble with Bratton. The argument ended by Bratton backing out of the door with his hands up, Gan non having the drop. Cannon didn't shoot then because his gun wasn't loaded-he had been cleaning it and had forgotten to replace the cartridges. He'd have killed Bratton otherwise, as a matter of course.
 That same night Bratton sent word to Cannon that he meditated shooting him up some on the following day. Cannon wasn't man to take to the cliffs or the cactus, having plenty of aotches on his gunbarrel himself, and ne walked around the next afternoon like g light battery of artillery. Big Divide Jim Bratton bulged him, how ever, by turning a corner suddenly as Cannon paraded down the main street, and then it was Gannon's hands that went up for change. Bratton had two guns covering him, and Cannon knew his gait.
 ! "'This," said Bratton, is where get an even break for my coin. Now, you like me so much. Cannon, that 1 want you to sort O show your expectations of me by walking around town linked arms with me for awhile'
 Ut was up to Cannon to comply with this peculiar request. Big Divide Jim Bratton jabbed his guns back into his belt, and then he ciutched GanDon's

 An engagement that ought to prove very popular was opened by the Morrl- son Comedy company at the Jacques with q special matinee this afternoon. IL has the novelty of offering several different plays and on that account should be additionally popoular. This evening and the two succeeding even ings The Princess of Patches," q stir ring comedy drama, is the play, while fer the matinees Dangers of a Great City" another melodrama of sensa- tional interest. Is the offering. Both plays are of 1ne kind that patrons of this house most favor, and both, 1T may be added, are played with 2 complete ness and perfection of detail that are sure to satisfy.

cuspidors which cost $40 a dozen. but so many men packed them away in tn cir valises when they left that we were obliged to substitute porcelain ones. One hotel lost heavily from souvenir fends till the landlord put away all his good silver and substituted thinly- plated ware. Then he marked several hundred large spoons Take one,' and the result was what he expectea-they were all left on his handI."
 ProprietGrS and stewards agree that women are the greatest purloiners. Much of the silver and China lost van- ishes when neals are served them in their rooms. It is the souvenir value and not the money value of the thing taken which has depleted the majority of hotel sideboards. The name of the house-previded, of course, that it be famous oue-on1y makes an article the moro valuable. Some time ago young New Yorker ot distinctly origi- nal genius set out ts furnish the small silver for the table of prospective bride. He collected a spoon here, 2 knife there, and fork from some place else. He was able to present the bride with dozen knives, forks and teaspoons and four tablespoons; they were marked with the names of 30 or more hotels and restaurants
 The wine cup seems to have great power to increase the arGor of the sou !. venir collector. The other night three youths had 2 dinner in the cafe of a prominent hotel On the la ble was a heavy brass matchSafe, marked with the name of the house. This one of the happiest of the youths appropriated. Tho party went from the hotel to two other cafes. At both places the young man exhibited his booty with much triumph. A waiter in a downtown lunohrGem was recently struck dumb by the cool impotence of a new patren
 Just as the young gent was leav- ms,' he said. ''he turns to me and hands me big silver spoon off tho table. Go and wash it and bring it back says he. l done it, and that fel- low put it in his pocket, buttoned up his coat and walked out. I was SO stunned that I couldn't say word. One place uptown, where I used to work, they'd take cream jugs at five dollars apiece; and silver mugs at S45 a dozen was nothing at all. At another old place of mine We had one man searched. and he had seven napkins on him. ] know place little furder down. where they got gross of salt shakers with sterling tops last year, and in two months they had gone.
