A PRINCE IN RAGS.

Genuinely contented Though an Out.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
Notwithstanding that it was his
own fault and that his condition was
due to idleness and an overweaning
weakness for liquor, those who be
held Ed Martin as he appeared in
police court this morning we're NOV
ed to pity Tor him and sorrow was
expressed that it should be possible
for any n to fall SO low in the
scale Of unfortunate humanity. He
was indeed a typical weary willie"
one Of the kind that comic papers love
to c~aricature. Dirty and unkempt,,
his beard and hair in tangles, his
nose swollen out Of all proportions
and Of that livid, red color made pos
sible only by years Of indulgence in
strong drink, his hands begrimed with
an accumulation Of filth and his whole
air that of a besotted, degenerated
and Indifferent being, he was a spec
linen of humanity to be pittied as
well as Stunned and condemned.
The charge against him was vag-
rancy, evidently a familiar one, as
indicated by his actions when the
complaint was read to him. In res
ponse to the usual question he said he
had nothing to say and seemingly was
prepared to take anything the court
might feel inclined to give him,
whether it was a sentence in Jail or
a sandwich. He knew he was an out
cast and felt none Of the shame and
humiliation that even the most har-
dened sometimes feel when they are
placed in the position he occupied.
Little time was lost in disposing of
his case. Thirty days on the chain
gang with the option Of leaving the
city within an hour, under suspension
Of sentence.
Martin accepted the alternative and
in order that he might not over stay
the limit was escorted by Policeman
Dulin as far as the western corporate
boundary. AS he shuff1ed out OF the
room it was noticed that he had on
only one shoe, the covering of the
other foot being nothing more than
the torn and tattered remnants of
what had once been a shoe. But Mar
tin appeared happy and while they
pitied him because of his forlorn con-
dition, those upon whom he turned
his back could but envy him his ap-
parent content and reckless indiffer-
ence to the caprices of fate and the
stern edicts of laws and courts. He
seemed free Of care and life was not
the problem to him that it is proving
to many others more fortunately
situated, as the view of the world
is accepted.

RIVER TO BEAR A TOWN.

The village Of Benton. Neb. located
few miles from Lexington. Neb., has
decided 10 move. This does not mean
the people alone, but the buildings.
houses and stores. besides all the per-
sonal effects, will float down the Platte
river for three miles TO n location which
the villagers prefer TO its present one,
says the Chicago Tribune. Nothing will
be left behind but the natural scenery
which was there when the village was
built.

then will 20 to the railroad" Such is
the paraphrase of the story OF Moham-
med and the mountain as given by the
village Of Benton.
The decision TO move came with the
announcement of the Union Pacific rail
road that new town named Darr
would he established at the point where
the line crossed the Platte river. This
is three miles down stream from the
present group Of houses called Benton.
The railroad added 10 its announcement
that the construction of large eleva-
tor and mill would be Immediately
started at Darr. When an agent of the
Union Pacific presented the matter in
the right light, the population of Ben
ton saw that they We're living in the
wrong place and they decided TO move
and be on the ground floor Of the new
town Then it appeared to them that
it would not be such bad idea to take
the town along with them.
Benton was built on its present site
many years ago. with the expectation
that when the railroad came that way
it would pIss through the town. Final
I ly, when the railroad did come, il was

officials of the Union Pacific road offer

/ pose to start and call Darr. This prop
osition was accepted. The new town is

LATEST IN BILLIARDS.
New Two Bali Game Invented by Ex-
pert Player In Denver.

J. II. +. Voorhies has invented a new
game at billiards which is being tried
by the members of the Denver club
and is meeting witt much favor, says
the Denver Republican, 1t is a varia-
ton Of the French cushion carom
game
The idea came to Mr.. Voorhies while
he was watching a couple of experts
play-riIe three cushion American game.
1t occurred to him that the game was
very good one for the very expert,
but as games We're not usually de-
signed for that class of players some
thing in the same line, but little
easier should be made for the general
run of players lie then suggested
that the cushions taken between the
carom be counted. For instance, IL
player made one cushion he counted
Ions between the object balls he should
count two points and for three cush-
ions three points.
He submitted the game to Fred
Eames, who is considered one of the
most expert players that ever came to
Denver, who said il was, as far as he
knew. an entirely new game. He also
commended the plan as an enjoyable
game for those trying to learn difficult
shots. Then he began to figure on the
possible number of points to be made
in one shot. He took diagram and
showed how eight cushions might be
made between the two balls and was
willing to admit the bare possibility of
nine. The latter is improbable.
At the Denver club, where the game
has taken root, Mr.. VOORHEES, has made
seven points at one shot, and Mr..
Charles Cavander has made six. All
the players are trying steadily to make
a better record at one shot than has
yet been made.

Comm Home For Thanksgiving.

I tell you 1t is busy times jest now for me
and marin;
The boy is comm home to spend Thanks-
givin' on the farm.
'Tis ten long years since he went west to
mingle in the strife;
He's done first rate, and, Furthermore,
he's got a western wife.
We got the letter yesterday, and marin
she laid awake
Full half the night to praise the Lord and
think what she must bake.
II I should feed the turkey now, as she
declares l must,
Why, long before Thanksgivin' he would
swell all up and bust.
I've had to grind the chopin knife and
go to chopin mince,
And things are brewin rich and line and
fit to feed prince.
The boy he writ for chicken pie, with
double crust" says he,
"And mixed with cream, that lovely pie
you used to make for me"
He wants a big red apple from the hill
side Northern Spy
And butternuts; I've got 'em round the
stovepipe brown and dry.
He wants to lay the fire himself with
! maple hard and sound
And pop some corn upon the hearth when
all are gathered round.
He wants the things he used to have
when he was but lad;
'Tis somewhat strange, it may be, but 1t
makes us mighty glad.
We're both a little whittier. but our love,
depend upon't,
Is jest as green and stiddy as the hills or
old Vermont.
It flustered marm a bit at first about the
western wife,
What she should do for one so fine and
used to city life.
But tucked between the boys big sheets
she found little slis;
She read 1t with happy tear, gently
S...vering lip:
9paS sssther"-them's her very words
'Y write this on the sly,
30 don't tell John, but make for him
big, big pumpkin pie.
I know it will delight him, for he still is
but a boy
His mothers boy-and so he fills his
wife's glad heart with joy"
And so, you see, tits busy times Jest now
for me and marm;
The boy is comm home to spend Ihahks-

The speaker went on to urge that the

industrial progress and of public hon

Can any of us hear at any time the
haunting refrain of that human song,
I'm a pilgrim and I'm stranger,
without a curious response in the
soul? Does not this essentially ex-
press the underlying consciousness of
us all. even in our sunniest and most
prosperous hours?
Our religious speech is not homely
enough. Let us not talk of palaces
and thrones and dominions. What the
spirit of man wants is home. The
highways and the high seas are well
enough in their place, but what is
their place? They are there to lead
us home.
