Arthur Gets Nine years.

James Arthur. twice convicted OF being
implicated with John Bernstein in the at
tempt to blow the safe Of the Treynor
bank on the night OF January 8. 1896, was
yesterday sentenced by Judge Wheeler In
the district court to nine years in the peni-
tertiary al Fort Madison. At the time Of
his previous conviction Arthur was given
ten years. but Judge Wheeler in passing
sentence. took into account the fact that
Arthur has already spent one year in the
penitentiary, excepting for the time he has
been in the county Jail here awaiting his
second trial.
Former County Attorney Killpack. Ar
thurs attorney. stated that he would take
the case up on appeal to the supreme
court He also stated that he was con-
fident he would again secure reversal OF
the verdict Arthurs appeal bond was
placed at 5000 instead of at 5000 as be-
fore At first Judge Wheeler was inclined
to place the bond at $4,000. but when It
was ntinated that Arthur would possibly
be able to furnish one in that amount. at
the request of County Attorney Hess he
made it $4,000.
Mickey Taggart, the Omaha youth. who
In the earlier days of his criminal career
was known as Mickey the Goat" was
sentenced to six years in the Fort Mad
ison penitentiary for snatchlng a pocket
book from Mrs. May Solomon. Judge
Wheeler took the opportunity to read young
Taggart a long lecture, but it's import was
apparently lost on the youth, who paid but
little attention TO the Judge.

This the Englishmen were com

inc my surprise to see my pet snake
playing Yankee Doodle" upon the
Mandolin. He was using his rattles
for pick and was lingering which
in this instance might be called head
ing'-the instrument with the sharp
part Of his head. 1t was quite laugh
able to see his head bobbing back and
forth over the frets: but what was
strangest of ALL he never made a mis-
take, even in a most difficult passage
After a while he played himself to
sleep and | took him and put him in
his den
One day he hit upon quite a novel
way of making music. He went out
into the yard, where there were two
small shrubs growing about a foot
apart and, wrapping himself around
one OF them, he stretched himself over
TO the other and wrapped himself
around that one also. Then he beck
oned to me with his head, but it was
quite while before | could under
stand what he meant. At length I
made out what he wanted, and taking
a smooth stick from the yard | went
to him and commenced to strike him
gently. He drew himself UP tighter
still and then the vibration of his BODY
which my stick was making began to
be heard He seemed to be highly
pleased, for he waved his head with
glee. Finally he found that by con-
tracing and relaxing his body he
could make different sounds.
One morning while was playing nv
"snakeophone" he began to experi-
ment in making different sounds. In
short time he had learned how to rim
the scale, and in about an hour he was
able to play Blue Bell" in a very
heartrending manner. Such fine liouid
sounds cannot be produced by any,

Preserving Scenery"

Not long ago man of national i'm
portance characterized an attempt to
beautify the city of Washington as
spending money for scenery" The
phrase may be taken as sheer, as 1t
was intended to be taken, or with APP
prevail, as expressing a truth and
wise policy. Spending money for
scenery, remarks Youths Companion,
is one of the most hopeful signs of
reawakening to natural possibilities.
1t is not confined to any one region.
San Francisco is already talking about
the BurRham plans for identifying the
city, which have long been in abey-
ance, The rebuilding of the Gateway
of the west now affords an opportunity
to put them in practice, Niagara falls,
the White mountains, the Appalachi-
ans and the Palisades are eastern
scenery, but they are also national
possessions, and it Is with sort Of
wonder that commercial interests have
discovered how strong the feeling is
against destroying them or encroach
ing seriously upon them. The old state
house in Boston and Independence hall
in Philadelphia are more local ex
amples of the same quality of public
interest which lies in sentiment They
are scenery" of sort which appeals
to a pride as stubborn as the power
of money, and more creditable. The
man who cares for his fathers grave
and preserves the old family home is
paying money for scenery" too but
more persons understand that kind of
sentiment. The other kind-the larger,
more communal and fraternal kind
is just as surely coming into its own.

Beooar and Business Man,

John La Fargo, the painter, talked
in New York at the Arts club of the
wit of beggars.
"Beggars need to be witty" he said.
They live by their wits, you know
1t isn't strange that they should be
quicker than the solid and respect
able business man in repartee.
"A solid and respectable business
man was hurrying along Broadway
the other night when a beggar accost-
ed him.
The night was cold and very raw.
A strong wet wind was blowing from
the sea. Now few snowfakes fell.
Now there fell few heavy and cold
drops Of rain.
THE beggar was shivering. He had
on no overcoat and no gloves. His
hands and wrists stuck out of his
tight, short coat sleeves, red and stiff
and cold looking. His cheeks were hol.

scented, and, owing to his size and
appearance, he will be less likely to
meet with interference"
Beluche and Lopez with a small
crew, departed that same night upon
their mission to New Orleans, taking
with them Nato, who was to be land
ed in the woods, about two hours fast
walk from La Tete des Faux, Gen. La
Roche's plantation on Bayou Bien-
venue
Upon the day following Beluche's
departure, the Baratarians were sur.
prised and puzzled, to see the so
phia" and her consort sail away to
the eastward, and their departure
caused Lafitte to decide upon a visit
to Bayou Bienvenue, as soon as he
should hear from Gov. Claiborne.
Nato returned several days later,
and brought message from Gen. La
Roche, urging LATTE to come at once
But he waited until the seventh day
after Beluche's departure, passing
meanwhile from wonder to impatience
at the latter's delay and at having re-
ceived no message from mis- ennis
saries in New Orleans.
1t was Nato who told LATTE that
Count de Cazeneau had removed to
Kanauhana, a small plantation ad-
joining La Tete des Faux. The boy
said that the count had purchased
it, and was removing all his slaves
and other property from New Orleans.
LATTE was, for reasons of his own.
surprised at this piece of information,
and now summoned Baptistine, the
captain of the polacca upon which
Nato had returned.
Much of what Baptistine had to tell
was already known to LATTE, but the
former added to this by saying that
the ferment among the citizens of
New Orleans appeared to be growing

music was a gay and lively air, he

TO carry away with them the beauti-
full things that nature so lavishly

alike must lose all resemblance to the
beautiful growing thing that inspired
the wish for possession, and Is no
longer worth having. Thus for the
gratification of a passing impulse, one
has destroyed a beautiful object that

for the purpose of carrying away with
him the flowers or branches. In
towns and cities such an act Is com
monty regarded as an offense, and
anyone found guilty of it Is likely to
be punished, by fine or otherwise.
Yet the principle is the same, wheth-
er the destruction is wrought in town
or in country; but in the country the
owner does not attempt to protect his
shrubbery or his wild flowers, unless
they are close to his house.

An abundance of work and a fam.
Inc Of workmen represent a condition
that is constantly growing more com,

is the dearth of farm hands, as shown

there is work a-plenty and a dearth
Of workmen. Apparently with each
succeeding year common labor grows
less attractive. Yet there is not a
notable increase in the number of
Migrants and able bodied paupers.
The riddle probably has its solution
in the fact that prosperity and thrift

laborers, leading them to seek better

CHAPTER xxlI.-continued.

IF they'll not come out then we
can kill them through the door!"
some one shouted, when there came
the rush of tall, sinewy form, whose
impetus knocked the rioters right and
left.
There was a flash of glittering steel,
as LATTE struck the hand of man
applying the match, and a spout Of
blood extinguished the flame as the
match fell to the ground.
Take that for a warning, you mu-
tinous scoundrels, who seek to muir
der unarmed mem" shouted a voice
trembling with rage such as was rare
ly manifested. "Disperse, you cow
ards before count five, or you shall
be riddled of legs as we'll as hands"
The would-be murderers skunk away
and in ten minutes all was quiet as
though nothing untoward had hap
pened
After sending Pierre, who was some
thing of surgeon, to attend the man
he had wounded, Lafitte demanded
from his sub-captains an explanation
of the mutiny.
Dominique-You stood silent and sui
len, leaving Beluche to tell the story.
This was to the effect that there
had been an unexpected rush from
outside; that the men In the stockade
had, at the outset, tried the power of
persuasion, accompanied by that of
fists, but were preparing, as hidden,
by both Pierre and Beluche, to fire
upon their comrades, when Lafitte ap-
peared and put an end to the emeute.
LATTE received the explanation in
cold silence, but with a look which
warned Dominique-You as to what
measures would be taken in the event
of another outbreak; for a few of the
latter's followers had been amongst
the other mutineers, who were mostly
Catalon's men.
LATTE, after dismissing Beluche,
with orders to keep a sharp lookout,
and summon him instantly, should
those outside show themselves at the
gate, unlocked the door of his house
