erward, in the lane of ligat, he saw q bowl and plate with some crumbs of bread upon it. The shadow across the hearth was the fugitive treasurer. His clothes were torn and his shoes were broken. His narrow face, with the growth of weeks beard, was hidden on his arm, and his clerkly hands lay out on the floor where he had stretched them in the expectation of sleep. He slept securely; their voices did not disturb him.
 'Do you know who he is?"
 "Nancy Garry rowed over last night an told me about a man that had been stealth money; he'd been tracked down this way an the sheriff was fol- lerin' him.''
 "When did he come?"
 About 12. When I come up from the landin' seein' Nancy Garry off he was standin' in the porch, an he asked me if I'd let him lay down there. l knew him. I told him he could lay down on the floor of the room, an I fetched him bread am milk-good milk -an' said you wouldn't be home till next day. He didn't know this was your house, an he asked me if I was your daughter" She pointed to the key in the lock. "The. shutters was fastened on the outside. From what Nancy Garry said, I reckon the sher'f'll be down the road about sun up or little after. I'll signal him from our side and-there's the mort gage. He'll give $500 for him.'
 Her eyes danced; the bosom of her dress rose and fell with her quick breathing. Maverick looked through the door at the treasurer.
 Its Haines, ain it ?' whispered the girl. She shook his sleeve fmpatiently. 'sI thought you'd be glad.''
 He kept hold of her hand and drew her out on the porch. He had treated her like child, and she had hattered him with an indulgent domination that is shown to the very young and the very old.
 "Ain,t you glad?" she persisted. eff Nancy Garry'd caught him you'd be glad.''
 "Maybe; but not to trap him in our own house, if he's hundred times a Haines.''
 "After all his letters an threats; an all you tell me about his people an your people when they was worth something?"

THE TRUSTS TO THE COMMON
 PEOPLE.

 Now come here, you common people, And listen to my song: There is work-I'm going to give you, That will last the whole day long. From the bright and early morning, Til the sun shall cease to shine, You can earn a lot of pennies, But the dollars must be mine We are forming through the country Every industry we grab Every chance to make ! dollar, You just watch and see us nab. But We like you common people, So we let you fall in line; You can work hard for your pennies, But the dollars must be mine. There are some trades unions standing We'll soon sweep them off the earth. They are bad for common people" And we've fought them since their
 birth.
 They have been q menace to us, But we'll starve them till they
 whine, Then we'll let them earn some pennies, But the dollars must be mine. Hark ye to me, common people" We are friends of yolrs-quite good, But you don't need educat tion, And we do not think you should Strive to rise above your places. And on three square meals to dine. You can't do it with your pennies, And the dollars must be mine.

The new bishop of London is by no means the first bachelor occupant of the see. For 15o years after the reformation settlement of Elizabeth it was the exception for the bishop of London to be a married man. Bishop Sandys (157O-1577), afterward archbishop of York, was the first married bishop of London, and there have been many married bishops since. At the present time three out of four of, the canons of St. Paul's and four out of five of the canons of Westminster are bachelors.-C Chicago Record Herald.

zEBRAs TO BE PUT IN HARNESS
tf Is Proposed to Employ Them as Beasts of Burden in South
 Africa.

The difficulty experienced by the British army in South Africa of util- izing horses has suggested that some substitute be obtained. The OK, that IS so serviceable to the Boers, is too slow for the purposes of the Britons, and hence R. J. Stordy, a veterinarian of wide repute, suggests the use of the zebra, says a London paper. There are enormous numbers of these beautiful animals, which are naturally exempt from the attacks of the tsetse fly, rinderpest and other local diseases, which destroy Euro- pean horses and cattle. The diff culties in the way of their domestica- ton are not insurmountable. Mir. Stordy suggests the construction of special kraals, into which droves of the zebra could be enticed or driven. Once captured, he would leave the animals pretty much to their own devices.
 'The animals being in this way con- fined within the kraal, they would naturally he says, propagate their species. It is with the offspring that I would propose that the experiment. in the way of domesticity would be- gin. As is we'll known, it has been found nearly impossible to rear a zebra foal apart from it's mother. I would not propose to separate them; they would live along with and be nurtured by their mothers. A few months after birth the young anil mals could be caught and by various ways become accustomed to the sight and presence of man. I am very hopeful that in this way a number of young animals of both sexes would become domesticated and prove use- full for transport service and also in propagating their species.
 ssThe second generation, if my ex- pertinent prove in any way success ful, would be even more domesticated than their parents, and I am sure that in course of time large sup ply of the domesticated zebra would be forthcoming for the future use of transport work at home and abroad '' The experiment undoubteo1y is we'll worth trying. It is unreasonable to suppose that the resources of mod ern civilization are unequal to the problem of utilizing such special gifts of Providence in South Africa as the elephant and the zebra.
 Freedom.
 Why seek to force your rules on me
 And why should l set bounds for you?
 The joys find you may not see
 Along the pathways I may pursue
 Let me be free to go my way,
 And you find joy as best you can.
 As long as we may truly say
 We work no wrong to any man.
 Be happy, and let me be glad,
 You in your way and in mine;
 And let the mad world deem us mad,
 And let the little dogs go whine.
 Let me be happy in my way,
 And you find joy as best you can:
 Be tragic, if you please, or gay,
 So that you wrong not any man

You know it was winter and bitter
cold There had been bad blood be-

ennes ever since they killed Crazy
Horse when he tried to skip from the
guard. The Cheyennes were camped
in the valley three miles above the
fort and the agent heard, somehow,
that they had it in for him, and in
duced Crook to order two troops of
cavalry to take station close to his
thieving old shop, and the detail fell
on Billy and me. We were madder
than wet hens, for we had to tent out
there in the snow and stand guard
over a swindler we'd rather see
hanged any day. We knew he'd sold
the hostiles ball cartridges by the
