The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1905-11-21

With sudden spring he was over the
side of the boat.
People almost always seemed attract
ed to Dick and the plate seldom came
back empty when he carried it.
The two had merry time racing
digging holes in the sand, as all boys
love to do now stopping before
group of children or little picnic
party for a dance or two, and more
pennies. When the boat left they
were tired out and Tom found a cor
ner where they hid behind some boxes
and both fell asleep. Later there was
a commotion and a sudden rush. Tom
only half awake, jumped to his feet
and was pushed along by the crowd
Dick saw him wayer moment on the
edge of the boat and heard a shout
Boy overheard" With a sharp,
piercing cry he sprang after Tom, but
the crowd separated them He could
not understand all that happened for
he was so short he could not see
much, and he could not ask, but he
knew that they we're trying to save
his friend. He looked piteously into
the faces about him, uttering the shrill
moan of the dumb. He heard a voice
say:
"Of course, it was useless. the boat
was moving so fast they could not
find him. Poor little street beggar!
he is better off as it isl"
The mate had tears in his eyes
when, passing across the deck, he
spied Dick.
Poor little fellow, what is going
to become of your" and he lifted him
up. Nobody ever wanted to touch
Tom, but some way Dick never looked
dirty and his hair was not so untidy.
"I1l take you home and you shall
live with me-" said the mate, putting
his arm around him, but Dick kept
up the same pitiful cry and his eyes
were fastened on the dancing water
that had seized his loved companion.
He had nobody in the whole world but
Tom, there was nobody else for him to
love Tom was there in the blue.
lovely, shining water-his Tom. and
that was where he wanted to be.
Where his Tom was he could be happy
again. Poor ignorant. untaught waif
of the streets. but faithful unto DEAF
He wrenched himself free from tine
mate and with sudden spring he was
over the side of the boat and the
water closed over him. There was a
stir and cry among the passengers, and
the man who had spoken before said
in a subdued voice:
Well. I've seen a good many acct
dents in my life. and I've heard that
men commit suicide for many rea-
sons. but never before today knew a
dog TO deliberately drown himself be
cause that was the death his master
died"

Tom and Dick were two poor little
waits. From morning till night they
roamed the streets of the great city.
the lead in everything. He was
bright-eyed, handsome boy, in spite Of
his dirty face and tattered clothes.
He had taken care of himself ever
since he could remember First he
had begged, but having been born with
a faculty for getting along in the
world he sold few matches, bought
with his first savings. He knew he
could polish shoes, but he never had
a chance to try. He wished he could
have a peanut stand, but he was only
little boy and that ambition seemed
to him as lofty and unattainable as
the stars. Meanwhile he plodded
along, putting on as brave a face as
he could when he was hungry, and
whistling when bread was plenty.
He believed living was to be had
for the asking if anybody would work.
but when Dicks mother died and he
was left all alone in the world, he
wondered what would become of him.
for Dick could not talk, consequently
he was unable to ask for work. Then
he was not so old as Tom and did not
know how to do anything; added to
this Tom loved Dick better than any.
thing or anybody else in the world, so
he opened his arms and said:
Come, Dick, I'll take care of you,
and we'll live together
Now this was not a very munificent
offer, for Tom lived nowhere or any
where. Some nights he slept in an
old box behind great warehouse, or
in a doorway If he could get in there
unobserved. When the weather was
warm, he lay down in one of the
small parks where the grass was soft
and the trees waved over his head.
Next to Dick he loved the trees. If he
had known anything about heaven
he would have said it must be full of
trees and that one might live under
hem forever. He would lie on his
-ack watching the moon glide slowly
upward, with the leaves dancing
across its shining face, and dream of
| be village where he was born and
Shich he only remembered as one
recalls dimly beautiful dream of a
far off unknown country However,
such as he had he offered to Dick and
It was ioyfully accepted Protection
and love are gifts not to be despised.
Selling a few matches would hardly
feed two, and Tom, with ready inven-
lion tried other means of livelihood.
He bought harmonica and learned a
few of the popular airs he heard the
hand organs play He had often
danced on the pavement in the even.
| ing with the other children to the
music of those same hand organs, and
he set to work to teach Dick to dance.
The loss of one faculty often quickeps
the others and soon the two chums
were able to do little dance to
gether, to the strains of the harmoni-
ca. Then Dick would take little
plate and pass it around, and often the
pennies piled up.
Dick had never been so happy in
his life. Though he could not talk
about his gratitude as many people do
it was none the less deep and sincere
and he loved Tom with the strength

5andmaster Saw But One Way to

Sousa was once conducting con

soft notes of an oriental love song. A
loud and prolonged blast came from
a steamboat on the Allegheny river
Instantly the directors baton was di

he received a more deafening response
from the huge steam whistle. The
disguised conductor now turned to-
ward his musicians, and, with VIC
lent waving of his arms, brought
forth such roar from the drums and
brasses that If there was any further
demonstration on the part of the
steamboat it was not heard in the
music hall
At the conclusion of the concert
Sausa said to one of the directors:
THE only way to overcome that

STUBS AGITATED.
Does Not Like Auditors Ruling on
Lawrence Bonds.

Lawrence people. and especially W.
r. Stubs, appear to be considerably
agitated by State Auditor Wells as
sertion that he will be opposed to &C
cepting any city of Lawrence bonds as
security for the Lawrence National
bank deposit until the city of Lawrence
pays up the 100000 which it is alleged
it owes the state on an old bond deal.
A dispatch from Lawrence says that
the bank has been offered 40 for the
bonds. and that the securities are gilt
edged. The dispatch continues:
1.-The bonds to which reference is made
as having never been paid the state are
those issued to the amount of 100000
to pay for the construction of Fraser
hall, the main building at the UniVer-
city of Kansas, at a time when the state
was not financially able to bear the ex-
pense of such structure. The bonds
were purchased by the state school.
fund, and interest equaling the amount
of the principal was paid the state fund
by Lawrence. At the time of their is
sue, and at various times afterward,
was the understanding that the state
would consider the debt paid when in
terest to the amount of the bonds had
been paid, and the legislature, too pass
ed enactments recognizing this view of
the case. The matter of suing the city
for the principal sum involved has from
time to time been agitated and a suit
is now pending in the district court of
this county. Should it be finally de-
cided that Lawrence is legally to be
held for the payment of the bonds, the
debt will not be repudiated, but the
money will be paid"
Secretary of State J. R. Burrow does
not approve of Mr.. Wells plan. He
says that the legislature should appro-
pirate the 100000 to reimburse the
school fund instead of giving the uni
versity another new building. Inciden-
tally, Mr.. Burrow takes a few shots at
the university for the expense attached
to attending that school, on account of
the pace" which is set by the univer-
sity society leaders.

PATROLMAN PERKINS OUT.
Succeeded on the Police Force by
Charles Carson.

B. r Perkins, colored. who was ap-
pointed to the police force from the
Fourth ward, was relieved from further
duty at noon today, and Charles Carson,
an ex-policeman, was appointed to fill
the vacancy.
When asked the reason for the dismiss
sal of Perkins, Chief Goodwin said:
There are so many complaints against
him that it is unnecessary to specify"
Charles Carson was known as a good
policeman when he was on the force
two years ago. He was discharged by
Mayor BergundthaI for allowing a man
escape from a disorderly house which
was being raided by the police. Carson
was stationed at the back door. and a
city mail carrier, who was caught in the
place, escaped from the rear. The Off
Ger was charged with letting the man
pass. Carson lives in the First ward.

Coleman Thinks brotherhood of En-

Attorney General Coleman has in
structed the county attorney of Atchi-
son county to bring suit for the pur-
pose of collecting for the state school
fund, an estate of $500 left by Thomas
Gillian, Il railroad engineer, who was
killed near Atchison some time ago.
In 1903, the legislature passed a bill
giving the estate to the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, but the attorney
money should go to the school fund. as
