indignant Canadian appealed to the
police, who refused to interfere be-
cause Ii was to be presumed that
the English flags belonged to the
travellers, and if they wanted to
drag their property IN the mud the
police had no right to interrupt their

question was the symbol Of British

In one Of towns, as an act Of
courtesy to the country in which he
lived, displayed the flag of his own
nationality and an American, who
is a fool but thinks he is a patriot,
shot it to pieces. We are glad to
know that a police magistrate fned
him $25. A Hungarian put out his
flag and an excited mob of Ameri-
can patriots compelled him to hang
the American flag over the flag of
his country. An English captain in
Stamford, Conn, displayed the
English flag on an American holiday.
and the police induced him to take
it down to prevent a riot. And yet
some specimens of the most idotioc
variety of American idiotic patriots
go into a British city and insult the
country they are visiting by driving
around the streets with two English
flags trailing in the dirt! 1t seems
that they did not receive the treat
ment their unspeakable bad manners
deserved.

WAS A PLUCKY YOUNG LAWYER

1.-THE late Senator Stewart of Ne
vada believed in muscular Christian
ity, and many a rough and tumble
fight did he have in the old days in
California and Nevada" said a Cal
ifornia congressman.
He was not quarrelsome, but he
was never known to run away from
an encounter, and as he was a power
full nan physically there were not
many who were keen to tackle him.
On one occasion a noted desperate
was interested in a mining suit and
sent word to Stewart, who was at
torney for the other side, that If he
appeared to argue the ase he might
count on being killed. The fellow
had slain half a dozen men, but his
threat in no wise i~ntimidated the
plucky young lawyer. The desperate
had a we'll known system of hiding
a pistol in his coat pocket and shoot
ing without openly drawing the
weapon. This Stewart knew, and so
when he walked into the courtroom
the first thing he did was to lay
down a bowie knife about a foot and
a half long and a six shooter as big
asa young cannon or the table di-
reotly In front of him. Then, stern
ly eying the bad man, he said: Il
hear o mean to kill me If l argue
this case. That's a game two can
play at. That pistol you have in your
coat pocket isn't worth a cent
against this layout. The minute you
put your right hand in your coat
pocket I'll send a bullet into you,
and if that doesn't finish you this
knife will.
An old miner who was present
and told me the story said the
fellow turned white as a sheet and
sunk out of the courtroom to ap-
pear no more."-Baltimore Amerf-
can.

DOING GOOD HIS OWN WAY.
(Boston Journal.)

President Treadway of the senate
tells a good story regarding a coun-
try parson whose soul was sorely
tried because his son did not become
a member of the church, but instead
had a decided prediction to become
a horse jockey.
The reverend parent told his
troubles to one of his deacons. The
latter was a practical man, and re-
piled:
We'll brother Blank, don't feel
so bad. I'm sure that Jim will
bring more souls to repentance as a
horse jockey than he would as a
parson."

The display of fireworks last even
ing on the river as the climax of the

markable beauty, and it attracted
thousands of people TO the banks of the
river. not only on the Iowa side, but
all along the Rock Island shore line.
The levee here was crowded with peo-
pie, and every available place over
looking the river was taken. 1t is eSti.
mated that fully $4,000 people were
along the banks of the river. The fire.
works were unusually pretty, and some
of the pieces were new novelties. At
times the river was illuminated until
it was nearly as bright as in daylight,
and the surface of the water could be
seen to be dotted with scores of launch
es and small boats. Prior TO the fire
works there was procession Of launch
es up and down the river in front of
the levees. and red fire and roman
candles were burned from the boats.

being thrown upward, it was run

Robbers, evidently men who regu-

the jackson & Hawkins general store
at Hampton last night, blew open the
outer door of the safe and were pre-
pairing TO force the inner door when
they were frightened away. At least
they abandoned their work and it is
supposed they TOOK alarm. though 50

secured nothing OF value.

also contains the postoffice. was pried
open with tools obtained from the tool

found outside the door and part near

knocked off in an effort to open it.
