United States, { he was my friend
HANK always made it point to
do nothing that he could get some
one else to do. So he came up
the street where [ was watching a
tenderfoot trying to climb onto
the hurricane deck of broncho.
He dropped his ham of a hand on
my shoulder and Immediately
deputized me.
|, AS my daylights came floating
back, [ caught word or two about
being a sheriff, and to proceed at
once to Fort McCloud. He showed
"a brand book into my hand,
grabbed me by the collar, and put
me aboard a train. The party
that had run the horses into Fort
McCloud had got scared and were
gone before [ arrived there. How
ever, [ identified the brands and
hired several cowpunchers to run
them back over the line into Mon
tana While talking with the
sheriff, who should I see but Bill,
the same greaser that almost got
me assassinated with crockery. [
hadn't seen Bill for four years,
and l was as tickled to see him as
he was to see me.
"Welb bub," said Bill, "you had
better come down to the ranch
with me. The old lady and the
kid will be glad to see you.''N
'"The kidd" said I, much sur
prised. "What kid?"
"Why, my kid" said Bill.
Bill got confused when he spoke
of his kid, and acted rather fool
ish. I went out to the ranch with
him, and as we drove up in front
Of the house, Mrs. Bill came out,
leading the kid by the hand. She
looked very mad when she caught
sight of me. We went to the
barn and put my cayuse away,
then Bill wanted me to help him
get something out of the loft.
[ found that Bill had built a
little wagon for the kid to hitch
goats to. We pulled it over to
The stairs, and Bill started down
irst holding the back end. I had
nold of the tongue and was to
lold it back so it wouldn't go
lown toe fast. We got down part
way and stuck. Bill had miscal-
,ulated and made it too big; we
we're trying to push a four-foot
wagon down a three-foot-ten hole.
He was wheeling and putting and
alking, and this is what foated
Up to me from under the wagon:
BY Heck, what's the matter? It
Won't come, by George! I bet it
will, by gosh! She is coming, by
inks!' It went all of a sudden
nd stopped at the bottom of the
tairs with Bill underneath.
We pulled the cart out in the
middle of the barn floor and then
vent to see the goats. Bill must
ave missed locking the door, be-
ause when we got part way to the
'ouse, heard pattering of feet
'ehind us and looked back. One
f them goats was coming with
lis head down and yelled to Bill
o look out, and then stepped to
ne side. Bill was too slow and
.ot the full force of the blow. He
crambled to his feet and headed
or the house as fast as he could
un, with the goat about two feet
'ehind. He went in the front
DOR and out of the back, closing ,
he door behind him. Mrs. Bill
7as kneeding bread and just had
ime to look at the back door

rated with opium of any descrip-
ton, in their moments Of depres-
sion or when asleep, have the
most awful nightmares imagin-
able. To get back to my subject, |
will say that [ had gone from bad
to very bad; and when under the
effects of the drug, / was the most
beautiful liar you could meet in
a days stroll. Il may as well
state here that all dope fends are
the most artistic liars on earth.
1t is one Of the characteristics Of
morphine.)
[ was in the city of Cincinnati
at the time I speak of, and was SO
full of the drug one evening that
some Of my friends became alarmed
and hustled me into carriage
and took me out to Avondale,
where Mr.. Kelley has one Of his
institutions. On my arrival at the
institute my friends registered for
me and told the M: D. in charge
what my trouble was. I was given
in charge Of an assistant, who
ushered me up to a room with two
beds. One Of the beds was being
held to the floor by three nurses,
aud on the bed lay an old man who,
at the time of my arrival, thought
he had front seat witnessing a
performance of Hanlon Brothers
Spectacular production "Fantas-
ma"
Now [ have seen all the reptiles
that ever entered Noah's ark, un-
der similar conditions, and I real
ly felt sorry for the old man, or at
least 1 suppose I felt sorry for
him. They told me that I was
very near to taking a ticket for
the same display of wondrous
spectacular reptiles, etc. How
ever, the old man finally became
quiet and the nurses left him,
supposing he was asleep. He was
not asleep at all. The nurses had
hardly left him to go down stairs,
when the old man began yelling
that a thousand snakes were
coming at him from all directions.
I rushed over and pushed the but
ton and in about thirty seconds
great strapping fellow, who re.
one of Dick Croker's ice
men, came into the room. l asked
him if he was one of the doctors,
and he replied: ''Naw; I'm jist
putin in the winter here. Pm
the animal trainer and snake
charmer with the Robinson Show,
during show season."
Well, he looked the part all
right. He finally succeeded in
getting the old fellow quiet at any
rate. Soon after that one of the
nurses came into the room and
gave me a shot of something that
put me out Of business for the
next twelve hours. About ten
o'clock the next morning l was
hustled down stairs and fell into
inc with about forty other dope
lends and booze merchants. The
Dig animal trainer was in charge
IF this bunch of dreams. ALI at
once he yelled: "Roll up the sleeves
IN your left arm!' Then, one by
one, we were passed into the doc
;or's office and received little
shot of gold, the kind that made

FAIR HAVEN HAPPENINGS
Idea of Deepening the Channel of Qinnipac River Not Aban
 doned-L. A. Granniss About Again.

While the government engineers have turned down the proposition to increase the depth of the main ship channel in the harbor from twenty-one feet to twenty-five feet, Fair Haven people have not given up the idea of having the channel in Quinnipiac river, from Quinnipiac drawbridge to Grand ave- nue drawbridge, deepened. This prop osition was turned down at the last session of congress, but Falr Haven business men will not stop their pleas in behalf of the improvement until it is granted. The city did not build the $100,000 drawbridge at Grand avenue with the intention that that would be the last of the Quinnipiac river inn provements. The present channel needs strengthening and deepening and with the increasing commerce on the river this improvement should be granted by congress.

TO Pipe Lovers:

The best bFiar root grows in Italy, where gathering and cutting the wood into stumels is quite an industry. 1 Plugging and vanishing the wood is the last process in the manufacture of briar pipes, and by it the defects are hidden.
 The MATTOON MAKE pipes are net varnished or plugged. 1 Being FIRST QUALITY briar, they are simply hand-rlIbbed in olive oil. i The MATTOON MAKE pipes have handmade vulcanite bits and sterling silver mounts, and are fully guaran- teed (reasonable usc) against crack ing or burning. Any pipe not proving entirely satisfactory will be replaced.
 PRICES ABOUT ONE-HALF THE USUAL COST OF IMPORTED PIPES.

 My plan is to fly that flag on spec tal occasions and not keep it flying all the time" said Elisha Robbins of r Grand avenue, a hero of Fort Hudson, last evening. MT Robbins raised a flag pole in Front street, right in the rear of the Booth market, yesterday morn ing, and raised a large new flag in honor of his sixty-seventh birthday.
 T can't afford to put out that flag every day." continuer the old soldier, "but if the boys will provide another flag, will see that it is flying from the flagstaff every day"
 Quite a crowd collected when the fifty foot flagstaff was raised and many as- sisted MT. Robbins. Then he raised the flag, fired an old howitzer for a sa- lute and sang the Star spangled Ban- ner." MT. Robbins is certainly patriot ic and is fired with the spirit of '61-5. It is expected that his flag will be flown on all patriotic anniversaries.
