Bob lay on his cot and looked out the
door of the adobe hut toward the
cooks shack, from the chimney Of
which came a wisp of smoke.
Five O'clock" he thought. Don't
have to get up for an hour yet. It's
going to be Il roustcr today" And he
threw off the blanket which the cold of
the Mexican night demanded, then lay
with barred chest and hands locked be-
hind his head. Through the door his
gaze could travel for miles across the
desert. and with eyes that saw but did
not heed he stared far out where plain
and sky met.
"Gads. What wouldn't give to see
the little old town. he said aloud.
The willows on the river are just
smoky fuzz about now The maple
leaves are just little reddish scraps, and
the hypatiras are out. and the wild
flowers are thick in HoIman's woods.

Wallace hcaved Il great sigh, tossed
off his blanket and, like his friend, lay
with bare chest and arms behind his
head

In 1901 the Archdukc Charles was
called TO take commanfof the army of
Austria, which at the battle of Hob
enlInden had been defeated by the
French and Bavarlans Near the scene
of action he met Il number of wound
ed soldiers who had been abandoned
on the road by their commander for
want of horses to draw their carriages
in the retreat.
The archduke, who on many occa-
sions had shown his humanity, i'm
mediately ordered the horses to be
taken from several pieces Of cannon
that were being hauled to the rear.
THE life of one brave man is better
worth preserving than fifty pieces of
ordnance" he said.
The abandoned guns fell into the
hands of the French commander, who
when he heard of the motive that had
prompted the sacrifice, Immediately or
dered the whole to be sent back to the
gallant archduke with his compliments,
observing that he should be unworthy
of being the opponent of his tGlperial
highness IL he took advantage Of 80

The state pardon board. in the
hardness of its heart, has refused to
pardon Waite: Taylor, the young
white man of Tallahassee, who made
a criminal assault on Congressman
Bill Lamar before Bill was: married,
and who was sentenced to five years
in the penitentiary for simple assault
with intent to do vulgar murder.
The day before Taylor was taken off
to the penitentiary it is said that 800
ladies of Tallahassee visited the
board and pleaded and wept for Tay-
lor's release, but the board wouldn't
bulge. You sec its some different,

CRIMINALS ARE FATALISTS.
30 Matter How Often Captured, They
stick to One Specially.

30 Matter How Often Captured, They
stick to One Speciality.
Criminals seem to be the strongest
kind of fatalists." remarked a Judge
who is widely known as an authority
Oh criminOlogy.
Il have noticed that when a criminal
is arrested after finishing one sentence
the second charge is generally the same
as the one which first got him into
trouble. 1t seems like a strange kind
Of fatality. I've known instances
where one criminal has been arrested
and punished FIVE or six times on
charges exactly the same.
What makes him do it? I'm not
sure can explain it satisfactorily. but
I know it to be the case 1t has &C.
CURED to me, and possibly this is the
simplest explanation. that the reason
for criminal adhering strictly to one
line of work is the same as the fas-
cinatiOn which holds a gambler to a
table although luck is against him.
Each failure or each loss shows the
victim a point which he has hitherto
been ignorant of. and it is easy to COLI
vince himself that the next time he
will escape that mistake.
'And so it goes-ever the next time,
just one more chance, and then anOth-
er, ever confident that the luck must
change and that each turn Of the wheel
leaves him just that much better equip
ped and that much more likely to win
finally. Then there is the desperation,
the unconscious and gritty determine
ton to make a success Of it.
If he fails and is arrested, convicted
and punished the process of the law
simply goes to show him wherein his
first Job was tungling and poorly car
ried out. lie first feeling Of resigna-
ton that follows the bitterness Of pun
ishment IS when ne tells himself that
next time he will not repeat the error
which led to his detection on the pres
ent occasion. No sooner is he out Of
the penitentiary than he essays again
to try his luck, this time carefully
avoiding the mistake which first
brought him to grief.
ut is we'll known fact that no
criminal, no matter how expert or how
daring, can cover up all his tracks.
The very best crook will leave at least
one lOophOle, will commit at least one
error, which eventually fastens the
guilt upon him. The poorer criminals
leave clews according to their skill or
experience. So our imaginary crook,
the second time he plans a job, while
he carefully avoids a repetition Of his
first error, is almost sure to make some
other one, and so on, each succeeding
crime and detection pointing out to
him the lines of his weakness. SO that
he is irresistibly led onward to his de-
structiOn. Tribune

a Gentleman,

The decisions of English courts are
binding law in the United States.
The farther these decisions go back
in the dim traditions of the past, the
earlier they were rendered, the more
sacred they are held.
IL seems to us that this ought not
to be just so. The longer a nation
grows, the more enlightened it be-
comes, the more weight its judi
cial decisions ought to carry.
However this may be, the English
have recently decided, not what a
gentleman is, but what he is not.
ga person." says the learned Judge
handing down this decision, "who
earns his living by profession or
trade, under the meaning of the law
and customs of England, is not a
gentleman.
But that's not the law nor the Gus
tom in the United States, despite
this English decision. In this coun-
try there is but one individual who
measures up to the English standard,
and he is the hobo. Like the lilies of
the field, he tolls not, neither does he
spin; and Solomon in all his glory
had no such raiment as one of these.
He should go to England.
