Il Went on and Now Captain Leslie

Captain Frank Leslie, AN old IRON
tiersman living at san Francisco, was
serlously wounded by the accidental
discharge OF his pistol few days ago
While he was In a store he stopped to
pick up a piece OF paper and as ne ala

weapon has a range OF 1000 yards II
was discharged by the force Of the fan
and the bullet struck Leslie In the
right leg just above the knee.
The piece Of lead penetrated upward
about four inches, aud then. roappear'
ing, continued itH upward flight, com
pletely sovering the right ear and cut
ting a severe cash along the side OF his
head.

AS TO
APPEARANCES
"old GorGon Graham" Advises His
Son About Clothes
From Letters From a ser Made Mer-
chant 90 Its Son." by George
HOrrfa IOffnff-

Dear Pierrepont-That order for a
carload Of Spotless Snow Leaf from
old Shorter is the kind of back talk I
like, We can stand a little more of the
same sort OF sassing. I have told the
cashier that you will draw thirty a
week after this, and 1 want you to
have n nice suit Of clothes made and
send the bill to the old man. Get some
thing that won't keep people guessing
whether you follow the horses or do
buck and wing dancing for a living.
Your taste I'm clothes seems to be last
ing longer than the rest Of your col
lege education. You looked like q young
widow who had raised the second crop
Of daisies over the deceased when you
were in here last week.
OF course clothes don't make the
man, but they make all OF him except
his hands and face during business
hours, and that's a pretty considerable
area of the human animal. A dirty
shirt may hide n pure heart. but It sell
dom covers n clean skin. If you look
as II you had slept In your clothes,
most people will jump to the conclusion
that you have, and you will never get
to know them well enough to explain
that your head Is SO full of noble
thoughts that you haven't time to both
er with the dandruf on your shoulders.
And IL you wear blue and white striped
pants and n red necktie you will find
1t difficult to get close enough to a dea-
con to be invited to say grace at bis ia
bic, even if you never play for any
thing except coffee or beans.
Appearances are deceitful, 1 know,
but so long as they are there's nothing
like having them deceive for us in
stead Of against us. I've seen n 10
cent shave and q 5 cent shine get q
thousand dollar job and q cigarette
and a pint Of champagne knock the
bottom out Of q million dollar pork
corner Four or FIVE years ago little
Jim Jackson had the bears in the pro-
vision pit alternating and living on
their w fat till one morning, the day
after he had run the price of mess
pork UP to $50 and nailed 1t there,
some one saw him drinking a small
bottle just before he went on Change
and told 1t around among the brokers
on the floor. The bears thought Jim
must have had bad news to be bracing
up at that time In the morning. So
they perked up and everlastingly sold
the mess pork market down through
the bottom Of the pit to solid earth.
There wasn't even n grease spot left
of that corner when they got through.
AS 1T happened, Jim hadn't had n
bad news. He just took the drink be
cause he felt pretty good and things
We're coming his way.

CROMER TO SPEAK.

ON Thursday evening May 21st, the
CITY schools will give an entertainment
In h chapel. The principal feature of
the evening will be an effort to give
our patrons some idea of what Is being
accomplished by having vocal music
taught in IL schools. There will also
be some drills and Rotations.
On Friday morning at 1890 the
graduating class will hold Glass Day
exercises In the chapel to which they
invite their friends. This is an limo
walton In u school and the class hopes
to make the exercises interesting.
There will be an exhibit of some of
the work done by the grades during
the session at the school building on
Friday. The patrons are specially in.
Vlted to come and inspect this work,
which will consist of compositions,
drawings, models in manual training,
work In music, nature study and such
work done outside OF the regular course.
On Friday evening, May 22nd, DIR.
Geo. b. Cromer, President of New
berry College, will DENVER the Com
mencement address to the graduating
class and school. After the address
diplomas will be presented to the MEM
pers OF the class successfully complet-
Ing the prescribed course of study. The

feature of the closing of school and
VIII assist in the services. The choirs
OF the different churches are cordially
invited to furnish the music on this oc-
casion.
The teachers are nowbusily engaged
In reviewing and making thorough the
work gone over during the session. 1t
Is highly Important that pupils attend
regularly and punctually during the en-
Tire session.. One lesson omitted or one
interruption by hardness or dismissal
from school causes that pupil to lose
That which he may never make up. Els.
pecially is this true during the last
