terday. He found them in rubbish
pile on farm which he recently rent
ed. The farm belonged to the estate
OF W. l.. Maxwell, who left it to be
placed in an asylum for the insane
four years ago.
Twelve years ago w. L. Maxwell OF
Saugerties, N. Y, came here and pur-
chased a 400 acre farm in the suburbs
OF this place. He was bachelor. He
seemed to have plenty of money.
Mr.. Maxwell was very quiet and reti-
cent.
The farming went on for year. A
woman was engaged to attend to the
homework, and Maxwell in a few
months married his housekeeper.
They lived in style and set the pace
for the society Of the place. They
Travelled extensively, and upon re-
turning from one Of these journeys
four years ago Maxwell was insane.
He turned out his family and held
the farm nearly week before be
could be persuaded to let anyone
into the house. Maxwell was adiudg-
ed insane in the probate court and
was taken by relatives to q private
asylum in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Gas.
ton rented the farm several days ago
and found the bonds in carefully
tied and protected bundle, which had
evidently been covered with rubbish
to conceal it. The bonds were given
to the agent Of the estate.

Globe Democrat.
Under the spreading family tree,
The graceless scion sat;
He oiled the hinges OF his knee,
Conversing through his hat.
"My iather'd kill the cali" he said,
eff I'd consent to kneel
And beg forgiveness for my sins,
But I've no taste for veal.
"He'd set me up in business, too,
But he would also fuss
And tell me what l oughtto do
He's such a pious cuss.
"He'd pick me out q likely bride,
And exc he'd help me WOO;
But prefer my wife to choose;
Besides. now have two.
"And then l robbed my uncle's bank
The sheriff's on my track;
So, on the whole, think that
Had better not go back"

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
WILL MEET IN ST. LOUIS.
Question of Government Aid in Cor.
structing Highways Will Be
Discussed in Detail.

Washington, April Much inter
est is felt in the assembling in st,
Louis April q of the greatest Good
Roads Convention ever held. 1t ie
proposed to make it not only ma
tional but International in charac-
ter. Judging from the selection OF
delegates already made in many
States, the convention will be made
up Of representative men from all
parts OF the country.
Undoubtedly, the principal subject
for discussion will be that of nation
al aid as outlined in the billintroduc-
ed in the last Congress by Repre-
sentative Brownlow. The friends OF
that measure will go-to the conEen-
ton loaded with arguments in it's de.
tense. Among these the following
may be noted:
First-The Government aided in
the building Of many Of the great
railroads, yet these roads are owned
by corporations, and operated for
private gain. How much more
necessary and proper, then, for the
Government to aid and encourage
the building Of highways, which are
public property for the use and bene-
at Of the people.
Second-The Government annually
sppropriates many millions for the
improvement OF rivers and harbors
to facilitate commerce. But these
appropriations are Of necessity very
unequally distributed, a few States
receiving the greater part and many
others receiving none whatever. But
the improvement Of the public high.
ways is a. important to commerce,
and q national appropriation for
that purpose could be so distributed
as togive each State itsproper share.
These and similar arguments will
be put forward with great deal oil
zeal and enthusiasm by the advo.
Gates Of national aid. Az several
State conventions have already in.
dorssd this scheme, it willnot be sur
prising Il tho st. Louis convention
also approves II.

ITO interest children in nature and
give them valuable instruction, or
ganize for the purpose Of having boys
and girls compete for the best flower
garden, best vegetable garden, and
best wine growing at their homes.

Carthage for the past four years. st.
Louis and Kansas City have done
much along this line. Many smaller
cities and few country districts are
trying it.
On April 10 organize permanent
civic improvement associations and

more specific directions and in open
ing correspondents with those who
have been very successful. Principe

would prove especially dangerous,
and nothing happened to cause a
change in this hopefulness until this

check. and which caused his death in

native town. He removed to Boston
when he was less than 30 years old.
He remained in Boston until 1876,

N. N. Hanson OF Galveston, United
States marshal for the Southern dis.
trict OF Texas.
It was my fate to know some Of
the bad men who turned things up-
side down in Southern Texas a GUAR.
ter Of q century ago. They are about
all dead, and no successors can take
their place, for our people will never
again tolerate such disturbers Of the
peace.
One OF the worst Of the bad men
OF that day was the notorious John
Wesley Hardin. 1t was his boast
that he had killed twenty.eight men.
For long time he was the terror OF
Gonzales county and OF all the sur.
rounding country. He was an incor.
rigible cattle and horse thief and
murderer who killed without remorse.
Finally day of reckoning came
and he was caught and sentenced to
a twenty-five year term in the state
prison at Huntsville. He wasn't a
model prisoner and had to be whip.
ped time or two, but at length he
emerged from prison and went back
to the scene Of his former crimes.
A hot local political fight, involv.
ing the election OF q sheriff OF Con.
Sales county, was on and Hardin
took an active parl in the contest,
He was still regarded as dangerous
and greatly dreaded. One day he
and the candidate against whom he
was working met and a quarrel en-.
sued. This candidate, Jones by name
was as fearless a man as ever lived,
and the way he denounced Hardin
was something to be remembered.
"You have" said he, according to
your own boasts, killed twenty.eight
men. am here to say that never q
one OF the lot did you slay when he
had his face toward you. Every man
OF them was shot in the back. You
are great big coward as we'll as a
murderer, and will give you 81 900

have said. lean make any is year

Hardin didn't open his mouth, but
skunk away, followed by a storm OF
ieers. He left the country and was
afterwards killed in Ell Paso."

SEEKS LEARNING THOUGH ExILED.
Noble Chinese Girl is to Study at Uni
versity of California. 81

NVUle (nlucSc VII - " otuul a. Uul
versity Of California. q
San Francisco, April 1.-DriveI
from bel homs in China, with pric'
set upon her head by the Empress
L ager, Miss Kang, daughter of 1
prince Of noble blood, is coming tc
the University OF Csliiornis, there te
obtain the education denied her il
her native land. With the priceless
gift OF the knowledge OF the West
once obtained, this girl Of the nobili
ty will devote her life to the uplifting
OF her countrymen, who are still in
the slavery from which she had fed.
The story OF the daring Chinese
girl reads like a romance from the
pages OF her own folk stories. She
was born in the imperial palace Of
the Emperor, and is the daughter OF
Rang Yu Wei, one OF the foremost
councillors of the potentate, who Was
deposed by the terrible old Dowager
at the beginning Of the Boxer move
ment. Her early lie was one of hol,
ow luxury such as is the lot OF all
noble Chinese women.
Unlike most OF the women OF her
race, Miss Kang was educated in the
Chinese classics, which compromise
the total OF all honorable things,
according to the Monaghan idea.
But the life Of the girl student began
to be surrounded by clouds, which
finally broke in the bloody uprising
OF the Boxers.
Ksng Yu Wei, her father, was one
OF the leaders of the new radical re-
form movement who was highest in
the councils OF the Emperor, Kwang
Su. He advocated the sweeping
measures OF reform which brought |
the weak ruler to ruin and forced the
outbreak of the conservative Boxers.
When the Emperor saw that all
power had been gathered into the
relentless hands Of the dowager and
that the revolution was imminent,
he warned his minister OF the danger.
Under cover OF the night the former
councillor, with his daughter, escap-
edirom the palace and dropped down
the river in boat to the protection
of the European consulates at Tien-
Tsin. The next day his unfortunate
associates in the radical movement
at the palace were decapitated.
From Tien-Tsin Kang Yu Wei
and his daughter departed from their
native land, forever exiled and with
thousands Of taels set as the price OF
their heads. Since then the twain |
have wandered through Australia,
Trdis and Japan, always working for
the cause for which they had suffered
Punishment.
Now comes the daughter to take
the course at Berkeley in order that
she may return to her home when the
tyranniesl influence OF the dowagsr
is removed and disseminate her new
found knowledge for the good of the
women OF China. She is expected to
arrive at the end OF the present
month.
