SIZED UP AS A RUSTLER.
He Proved Quite Harmless, However,
Notwithstanding His Appearance.
He had on on a cowboy's hat—he man long hair and fierce black eyes—there was a claw from the foot of a grizzly bear daughing from his watch chain. You could size him up only in one way—he had killed his man, or perhaps half a dozen of them. If he hadn't fought Indians and stood up to the bad, bad men of the far west, then his books beiled him. He was a quiet, unostentious man, as all nervy men are. He was reading a dime novel, as all game men do when they travel. Now and then he felt down the back of his neck to see if his bowie knife was cuddling up to his spine in a proper manner, and now and then he reached down to his boot legs to see that his cargo of revolvers hadn't shifted.
Three or four of us, after taking plenty of time to size him up, decided to ask him how and where he got the wound which had left the scar clear across his left cheek. It looked like the work of Sitting Bull's tomahawk, but we wanted the particulars. So it was agreed that I should work him up to tell his story, and after a quarter of an hour of diplomacy I had shaped matters so I dared observe:
"Oh, the story don't amount to much," he modestly remarked.
"Yes, sir, there is," he replied.
"That is a bad scar you have on your neck, and there is no doubt a story conspires."
"But you certainly had a close call.
How many Indians were around you?"
"We should like to hear the particulars, if you have no objection."
"Oh! Perhaps you were in a western stage when it was held up, and you got that scar in fighting off the road agents?"
"Never saw a road agent in my life," he answered.
"Well, perhaps you'd be kind, enough to explain how you got that scar?"
"Tackled by a bad man perhaps"
"I will. I went into a restaurant and ordered a pumpkin pie. The waiter brought me a squash pie instead. I kicked. The owner of the place, who was a woman, got mad and slashed me with an old case knife. I afterward settled with her for three dollars in cash. That's the story, sir."
"And may I ask who you are?" I inquired, as an awful silence fell upon our crowd.
"These things? Oh, I got 'em of an actor for four dollars. He had to sell out or walk home, and as the walking wasn't nood he sold out."
"But why—why are you wearing that hat and other things belonging to a western terror?" I asked.
From ex-President Cleveland's speech about the Pilgrim fathers: "We cannot recall their history and what they did and established and what they taught without also recalling that there have been pilgrims from New England, who finding their way to every part of the land, have taken with them those habits, opinions and sentiments which, having an early origin in American soil, should be best suited to American life everywhere and should be the best guarantees in every situation of the preservation in their integrity and purity of American institutions."
Chauncey M. Depew has promised that New York will do all in her power for the success of the Columbian exposition. 'Tis well. Now if Chauncey can stop the pens of the New York city editors till the people of the great state come into a condition of good will toward the fair maybe New York will yet make a creditable display of her resources in 1893.
"Certainly you can. I've been working for a farmer near Monroe all summer for 'leven dollars a month and found, but I quit the other day and am going to Toledo to get a stock of stomach bitters to sell on the road. Needn't nobody be afraid of me. I amn't loaded, and if I was I ain't got the sand to go off. Never tacked but one man, and I hain't got through running away from him vet."
Then we went to the other end of the car and tried to call the convention to order and do some resolving, but it was a failure. Everybody seemed to want to sit and think.-Detroit Free Press.
The Sailor and His Pets.
The Sailor and His Pets.
Jack is fond of pets, and when at sen is allowed to cultivate that fondness to a certain extent. The most hard hearted shipowner does not object to having one or two stray dogs or cats provided with homes on his vessel. And Jack is very grateful for this indulgence. It affords him deep pleasure to hold in his loving though rough embrace the innocent creature who, either by a cheerful wag of the tail or a responsive purr, assures him that his attentions are appreciated, and that the fact of his being lacking in personal attractions is not taken into consideration.
Jack loves the poor creature just as tenderly as if he were perfect. The ship's cat may be lean and uninviting in appearance, but this does not prevent Jack from petting it. Other pets are sometimes kept on board ship. It is not unusual for seamen on vessels returning from tropical ports to have pet monkeys or parrots. The captain's wife, who has her own way sometimes, turns her cabin into an aviary. Single captains have been known to keep pets on shipboard, although, as a rule, they seem ashamed to display any weakness of this description.—London Tit-Bits.
The Mansfield, Ohio, Daily Herald of recent date contains the following: "Years ago, a Richland county boy, William Barnes, of Washington township, varied his attendance at college at Delaware, Ohio, by teaching a winter term, of a country school, and among his pupils was] Preston B. Plumb, and being the biggest boy in school, young Plumb made the fires for the teacher. Some years ago it was our privilege to call on both of these Buckeye boys, both of them dwellers in Kansas, the Senator at Emporia, and Carter Wm. Barnes at Lawrence, Kansas. Both of them early removed to the West, both of them soldiers in the Union Army the teacher with possibly equal ability, but less push and self-assertion after the war settled down and still lives a quiet life in the beautiful city on the ]Kaw.t. The scholar forged ahead, and from eighteen-hundred and eighty-six to the hour of his death filled the public eye. Plumb was a pushing positive character, "and the people of Kansas and the whole country in his death have sustained a great loss"
