near being arrested on the cars from
Liverpool to London.
when we got off the steamer and
tried to find the widow who robbed
dad of his roll of money, but never
found her, we were about the last pas
sengers to reach the train, and when
we got ready to get on we found these
English cars that open on the sides,
and they put you into box stall with
some other live stock, and lock you
in, and once in awhile a guard opens
the door to see If you are dead from
suffocation, or have been murdered by
the other passengers Dad kicked on
going in one of the kennels the first
thing, and said he wanted a parlor
car; but the guard took dad and gave
him shove, and tossed me in on top
of dad, and two other passengers and
a woman in the compartment snick-
cred, and dad wanted to fight all of
'em except the woman,
when the door closed dad told the
guard he would walk on his neck when
the door opened, and that he was not
an entry in dog show, and he want

for dog biscuit. Gee, but that guard
was mad, and he gave dad look that
started the train going. | whispered
to dad to get out his revolver, because

old gentleman in there was from
HSena, Mont, and that he had a
reputation from st. Paul to Portland,
and then / held up both hands the
way train robbers make passengers
hold up their hands.
when I went back in the car dad
was talking to the woman about heI
resembling a woman he used to know
in the states, and he was just going
to ask her how long she had been so
beautiful, when the guard came to the
side door and called the woman Out
into another stall, and then one of the
passengers pulled out pair of hand.

surrender, because he was a Scotland

an American embezzler, and If he drew
that gun he had in his pocket there
would be dead Yankee in about four
minutes. Well, | thought dad had
nerve before, but he beat the band
right there. He unbuttoned his over
coat and put his finger on a grand
army button in his buttonhole, and
said:

contract, the Base Ball Association
could withhold enough Of the earnings
Of the carnival to guarantee the clean
ing and repairing Of the streets be-

pay the expenses Of the number Of
extra police which will be needed dur.
ing the week.

lated in the session Of the council, was
that no confetti was to be sold, or
thrown upon the streets during the
carnival, unless special permission
therefor was granted.
The Parker Amusement Co. Is the
same that exhibited here last summer,
with an addition Of FIVE free attract
