Messrs. Big Moses, Jacob Starr, Basco and Slim Dick-on Tues day last secured a liberal amount of the white mans burden" and proceeded to enjoy an impromtu celebration which gave promise of being one of the greatest and noisiest social successes of the season in the neighborhood of the mission, above the city. The un- expected arrival of Marshal Vau- tier and assistants put a damper on the jollifcation by landing the above named braves in jail where they have since been confined.
 Jacob Starr, Big Moses and Basco, tame, silent and repent ant, appeared before Commis- sioner Gallaher at 10 o'clock this morning to answer to a charge of being drunk and disorderly. Basco admitted the "drunk" part of the charge, but Big Moses and Jacob could not be made to un- derstand the judges remarks, so an adjournment was taken until g o'clock this afternoon in order to secure an interpreter.
 Slim Dick, the willy wolloper of the quartette, will be tried sep arately.
 .. SECOND ROUND.
 At the hearing this afternoon Marshal Vautier testified that when he decended on the quar- tette of braves at the camp of John the Fisherman his presence caused quite a scattering. Basco made a dash for the river bank, Big Moses galloped toward the the bullrushes, Jacob Starr was too drunk to get in action, and Slim Dick got busy by assisting in the capture of his three com patriots.
 The judge, after summing up the evidence. fined each of the defendants $10 and costs,

 Immediatly after the trial of Basco, Big Moses and Jacob Starr the hearing of Slim Dick was commenced. Dick testified that he could only remember of having been drunk but twice.

AS HIS MISTRESS HAD DONE.
Chinese Cook, Like All His Race,
Capable Only of Initiating the
Acts of Others.

Chinese need to be taught to be
more self-reliant," said the woman
who employs a Chinese cook. The
other day l ordered my cook to make
= pudding for dinner, stopping a min
ute to see If he followed my instruc-
lions, for 1 had taught him to make
this particular pudding. He had seen
me smell the eggs before putting them
into bowl and he began by putting
the first egg to his nose. He seemed
on the right road, so l left the kitchen
fer a minute. Returning l discovered
that he had used five eggs instead OF
three as 1 had taught him. Taking
Elm to task for not following my in
structions he answered Yes, three

AS STRAIGHT MEN SEE HIM.
The Dead-Beat is Probably the Most
Despised Creature That Walks
the Earth.

No man is wholly free from sin, but
so many lesser evils are tolerated that
a man should hesitate long before be-
coming a dead-beat. Criminals are de-
spised and abhorred. but to the dead
beat all that is coming, as well as the
contempt of his fellow men. There is
something at once so mean and SO lit
tie in taking advantage of the conh-
dence which comes with friendship
that the hand of every man is turned
against a dead-beat as soon as his
reputation is we'll established. The
dead-beat may fondly imagine he Is
living easy and making money with
out work, and, of course, he takes no
account of the confidence he violates
and the hardships he infiicts on 9th
ers. But, that aside, he really has
harder time than the man who is
honest and fair. .-He is compelled to
move good deal, and peace of mind
he knows not Like other types OF
crooks, he doesn't prosper, and his
finish is more unpleasant than the be-
ginning.-Atchison Globe.

cent, and this 1 will declare to the
end
How many men when facing death
on the gallows have said the same.
l. wonder how many men have said
it truly. 1t is true, as Pope says,
that hope springs eternal in the hui
man breast, but l often wonder If we
do not make a grievous error in not
giving greater credence to the dying
statement of a condemned man.
Jonathan Miller paid the penalty
of the death of Robert Conway with
the same stoical resignation which
had marked the end of many a man
in the same extremity. With his
death the case seemed at an end and
| it passed from my mind along with
many other cases which have arisen
in long and busy career I probably
never again would have recalled it
except incidentally had it not been for
strange occurrence.
Il was just retiring for the night
one evening about two years after
the execution of Miller when l was
startled by the sound of a horse dash
ing madly up to my gate. There
was loud rapping on the door and
upon opening it the painting horseman
cried:
