4 Good Reply.

During the Apache war in Arizona
in 1866 a MaricOpa Indian rode hun
dred miles between sun and sun to
warn a party of we'll to do emigrants
that the Apaches had planned to am
buscade them at a certain pass. The
young Indian volunteered to guide the
wagons by another route. and when he
had done this he mounted his horse
to go home.
See here" said the leader of the
train to the young Maricopa, you have
done US a good service. What is your
price,
My price," repeated the astonished
Indian.
That is what l asked"
Il have no price. Had gain been my
object 1 would have joined the Apaches
and met you in the pass" And so say
ing the brave wheeled his horse and
rode proudly away.

MURDER IN HEART
This Is Disclosed in Confess
sion of the New York
Bomb ThroWer.
SILVERSTEIN WILL DIE,

New York, April 7.-Selig Silverstein
the Union Square bomb thrower, has
confessed TO the police.
And his confession shows that it was
a plain. cheap. hand-rolled cigarette
that stood that day between some
thousands of persons and the destruc-
ton that Silverstein had planned for
the police
Also. it proves that the deluded man
went to Union Square with murder in
his heart, the explosion of the bomb
that killed one man ana is now killing
him, was accidental after all.
Fourth Deputy Police Commissioner
Woods now has in his possession the
confession which Silverstein made Fri
day in the prison ward OF Bellevue
hospital to the detective who has been
his pretended attendant.
Sitting beside the frightfully injured
man last Friday afternoon the detec-
tive told him that spinal meningitis
had set in; and that, even if he could
survive the wounds wrought by his
Frankenstein bomb, he must dine in a
little while of the disease. Silverstein
then decided to talk and told the detec-
tive that he made the bomb himself
using a brass ball off the top of brass
bedstead and filled with broken nails
nitrOglycerine and gunpowder.
Then" said the anarchist, II took
my bomb, with piece of string for a
fuse, and walked over to the park.
When l got there l put the fuse inside
the little hole in one side of the round
knob. And then l saw a policeman
who had beaten me, and | walked over
near to where he stood and sat down
upon the fountain"
And what happened then, my
friend?' asked the policeman-attend-
ant.
Why. | didn't intend to set off the
bomb until more policemen, came
around. But I was excited and I roll
ed a cigarette and lit it to stop my
nerves. | was going to use it. too. to
light the fuse of the bomb when the
time came.
Then l took the bomb out of my
pocket and held it behind my back in
my right hand. l held the cigarette
in my left hand, and then l got excited
again and put my left hand behind me
and the light of the cigarette caught
onto the fuse of the bomb before
knew it. and the next l knew l was ly-
ing on the ground with many police
men over me and a dead man at my
side
In the hospital it is said that Sill
verstein will die of meningitis within
4S hours at the most. Had not this
disease attacked him he would prob
ably have recovered from his wounds.

The Rest Relieved

William Stitt, beadle at Durrisdeer.
in Nithsdale, Scotland, was a man of
about six feet two inches in height,
with broad, heavy shoulders. There
had been a succession of ministers dur
ing his official career. says a writer in
Blackwood's Magazine, among them
the Rev. u. Morrison, who was sub
sequently translated to the Iron
church, Edinburgh. a minister of de-
cidedly larger build that his predecess-
ors. One of the farmers in the parish
said 10 the beadle one day:
will, you have served under a good
many ministers. Which OF them all
did you like best?'
''Morrison's clo'es fitted me best"'
Will replied CURLY.

East and west.

The chief distinction between the
genius of the eastern civilization and
that of the west, according to an orr
entail, lies in this: With you the indi-
vidual is the hub Of the universe-even
charity begins at home with you
while with us of the east it is the
whole. the state. not the individual,
that we emphasize. An individual is
nothing: the state. the whole. Is every
thing. We sacrifice thousands Of in
dividuals, we sacrifice our children
and our wives upon the altar of ma
tional honor. without hesitation, with
cut rsgret.-Forum.

Mr.. Cannon, from land purchases,

Also his ships came always safely
home; for his money-sense was as
bright and clear and deep as beauty S
