CLEAR THE ROAD

IL boyhood days we used to so.
When winter winds blew chill.
With rudy cheeks and nimble feet.
To coast down Martins Hill.
And from each speeding single sled
Or double-runner's load.
The frosty air was rent in twain
With shouting: Clear the road"
Like arrows from a bow of Steel
Teeth set and eyes aglow,
We sped the length of Martins Hill
Across the giistning snow.
There was no hating on the way,
No one steered out or slowed"
We sped like mad down Martins Hill,
And shouted. Clear the road!"
Then one by one we put away
The much-beloyed sled.
And journeyed forth into the world.
Ambitions paths to tread.
We bade good-by to Martins Hill
And youthhood' sweet abode,
Ard shouted in an undertone
For men to Clear the roadr
We found along the paths Of trade
Another Martins Hill:
With men at break-neck pace acoast,
With voices loud and shrili.
Who never halted on their way
Where fortunes fancies glowed,
Who shouted loud from morn till night
That warning: "Clear the roadw

. Lively Jig to the Tine Of
= Nxshoeter.

A weird story of the Jesse JameA
stripe comes from the Etarkey prai-
RE country, far southeast of Port
land, Ore, in little agricultural
valley in the Blue mountains. 1t tells
Of q Starkey prairie resident COM
PEELED to dance q clog in the dark
ness at the point of q cleaning bar
rel of a neighbours revolver, while
stimulated constantly to greater ef-
forts by the whistle of bullets past
his ears and about his feet.
There has been i'll feeling for sew
eral weeks on Starkey prairie over
. series OF dog killings. Neighbors
suspected each other Of the poison
ings and lot Of bad blood was en-
gendered. Little WEAKNESSES began
to be practiced, the latest of which
was to tie bulldog of pronounced
vicious tendencies on Starkey prai-
rie bridge after dark. This was de-
signed to scare . young team of
horses.
It was q settler named Wilkinson
who fell into the trap. Wilkinson
drove directly on the bridge, when
the bulldog began to operate, with
the result that he nearly had serious
trouble with his colts. Wilkinson
settled in his mind the author of the
trick immediately, and drove straight
to the house of Henry Bean. Bean,
he thought, was the transgressor.
Calling Bean to the door, Wilkin-
son had him covered before he could
escape, and clog dance was ordered.
The eloquence of the six-shooter in
duced compliance and the suspected
bulldog operator began awkwardly
to shuttle. Faster" ordered Willkin-
son, and as bullet sang startlingly
near the feet commonly more famil-
lar with the road behind the plow
than the dance hall floor they re-
sponded crudely. Finally wilkinson
let his victim OF with the admoni-
ton to keep his bulldog at home.
Then he compelled him, at the
pistols point, to come clear to Will
kinson's home. The method of
transportation was not stated, but
it is said Bean had to continue dane
ing at intervals clear across the prai-
rie. At Wilkinson's place he was
forced to sign note making over
SIS to Wilkinson in this deal. Then
Bean was released altogether.
Bean says he will not stand for
this treatment. He is not such q

THIEVES SELDOM INVENT.
Criminals Are Content to Ply Thei,
Ole Games with which They
Are Familiar.

The much Wanted ingenuity Of
thieves appears to be ON the wane in
Chicago. Time was, says the Tribune,
when q new confidence game and =
new way of getting into close proxim-
ity with some other mans goods could
be expected to appear every day or
so. This has all changed, say the po-
lice, and now the criminals seem con-
tent to ply their old accustomed games,
certain that through them they will &C.

1--WE haven't had new game brought
to light in q long time," said Inspector
John Hartnett at the Harrison street
police station recently. what few

trict are all sticking to their old tricks

money-bogus-officer combination. To
be sure there was man the other
day sold farmer an option on the Ma
sonic temple for 500, but that was
sporadic case. And as for burglars,
why, they are all using the same old
method of prying an entrance with =
jimmy, and sometimes using skeleton
keys. Sneak thieves are few, and even
they are not ingenious enough to think
up, new games. Most of them depend
sn the games others have played"
there's nothing new in crime,v re-
peated Capt. Evans, Of the bureau of
Identification. "AlI the fhin0s we hee-

THE CORONATION ROBES.
Orders for the Product Of Lyons
Looms Cause Dissatisfaction
in England.

Dissa is faction was rife among
manufacturers and prominent MEM
bers of the wholesale distributing
drapery houses in the city recently
at the news which has leaked out
that an order for 1000 yards of the
costliest silk velvet in crimson for
the robes of peers and peeresses
at the coronation has been given in
Lyons, says the London Telegraph.
1t is not that English manufacturers
have shown any lack of enterprise in
the matter, for on the earliest pos
sible occasion an official pattern Of
the correct shades of crimson was
obtained from the earl marshal, and
lengths of the finest fabric that can
be produced are waiting upon the
counters of their makers for the de-
mands which it was naturally ex-
pected would follow at once upon the
expression of Queen Alexandra's
wishes upon the subject.
The proper shade of crimson is a
deep and rich one with the least tint
of purple in it, and it involves very
delicate and careful dyeing to obtain
precisely the tone desired. For lin
ing white corded silk must be en-
ployed, and here again our own looms
might well have looked for prefer
ence. In the all-important matter
of price the English velvets compare
favorably with those of foreign make,
but with moderately good ermine it
Is estimated that each robe will cost
from e120 to $50. There are silk
finished" veIveteens, and another ma
terial known in the trade as shah
veIvets," which at a distance would
be difficult to distinguish from the
real velvets, at los to 1ss yard. An
expert, however, points out that the
robes will have TO be worn for several
hours and that the creases and crush
Ing would Immediately betray the
imitation of the real and sumptuous
material, while robe-makers them
selves express the opinion that it will
be impossible to obtain the sweeping
and dignified folds desirable in any
thing save the best qualities of vel
vet.
Meantime some few great ladies'
and leaders of fashion have been civ
ing their orders direct to the English
silk weavers for the brocades or sat-
ms they will wear at the great cere-
mony. One thoughtful young count
ess is having her dress woven at Bed
ford Leigh, In Lancashire, where, to-
gether with Rochdaie and Middleton,
some very choice materials are turned
out. In another. and less costly di-
rection, there is evidence that Eng
fish products are coming into brisk
demand, and that it is for pretty and
useful silk shirt blouses. 1t is salts
factory to learn, on the highest au-
thority in the trade, that no other
descriptions of light thin silks arc
equal to the surahs of Manchester
and Macclesfield for making up the
daintily tucked and trimmed blouses
now so widely worn, and indications
point to continued and extending
call for the charming wares of this
description throughout the coming
spring.

fhe Ffague In the Middle Ages
1t is consoling, now we are hearing
SO much about epidemics and infec-
ton, to compare the precautions taken
against smallpox with the more I'M
pleasant ones enforced in the middle
ages. For, although the great plague
of 1865 is the one we know most about,
not generation passed in the 300
years preceding it which was not
marked by pestilence that carried
of about one-fifth of the population
of London alone. As long as the poor
only were attacked nothing was done;
then victims were counted among the
rich, and vigorous measures were
forthwith taken. All infected honses
we're closed, and any inhabitant forced
to go out of doors carried white rod
to warn people OF. From every pump
In the city ~ buckets of water were
drawn, three times week, and poured
down the street. Good Queen Bess
went one better, of course, and set up
gallows for the hanging of any cit
izen who had concealed a case of
plague. No doubt. If she still lived,
she would hang the conscientious OBJ
jector instead.-London Chronicle.
