This llIan Has Avoided u“- l-alller of the Man He Killed. “Thin;- are some people of such unre- lenting.r :: rpose, that when they once register a. vow to do a certain thing no human agency can cause them to alter their resolution.” \said George Ilicc of Arkansas. “Here is a little story ta ken from life, every incident of which .came under my own observation. The facts are truly stated and can be eaSily verified. About ten years ago, in a little Southern town. two friends of mine. a young man and a man of mid die age. had a difficulty, and the former fell dead, ‘iierced through the heart with a bullet from a revolver. The blame all rested with the deceased. He came of a highly respected family, but he had fallen into convivial habits. and when drinking was very ugly. Time and again he had made threats against. the man who had killed him. Friends of the latter told him (if the threats and ..egged him to avoid a meeting, w rich he did whenever possible. .At but it came to a questipn of killing or getting killed, and he obeyed nature’s first law. "A jury would have cleared him bi- yond all doubt if the case had ever .- come to trial, but it never did. Instead he forfeited his bond of $8,000. and the cash was paid over by my hands. The man who did the killing left for parts unknown and has never returned. \Vhy did he not stand trial? Simply because the father of the deceased solemnly de- clared in the presence of all Lis towns- men that if John —— was acquilt :d of slaying his son he would become the son‘s avenger. He would kill his son’s slayer. The old man was never known to break his word. His courage was of that desperate kind which feared noth ing. Nobody doubted that he would do just what he said, so I advised John to clear out, and as there had been enough killing, he went. Ten years have gone by and the old father has never re- lented. He stands ready to day to make good his oath. Argument and persuasion are useless, and a good man is forced into banishment as long as the other lives. He is getting very old now and his health is feeble. His stay on earth is short, but until he goes the sen- tence of exile stands.”——Washington Pest. ~ INTROBHCED TO APPLEJACK. A. Young Kcntuckian’s.Experience with a Jersey Intoxicant. There is a young doctor in the gradu- ating clasa of one of the medical col- leges of this city who now has a high regard for the accomplishments of New Jersey in the manufacture of intoxicat- ing beverages. He is a native of Ken- tucky, and a few days ago. in company with three of his classmates, he visited a. farmer located just outside of Cam- den, who endeavored to make things pleasant for the boys. The jug of ap- plejack was passed around, and the Southern Esculapius, after a prelimi- nary taste, filled his glass full of the tempting beverage. No amount of ex- planation on the part of his friends could change his determination to take a big drink. “I have been raised on whiskey,” he said, “and I know what I am doing. You need not be afraid of me taking more than I can carry.” , Each time the jug went around he insisted on a full glass of applejack. When evening arrived it was a sad pro- cession that moved toward the ferry. The host had to hitch up and carry the Southern gentlemen to the boat, and his friends had to put him to bed at his boarding house, and it was several days before he could stand any one walking heavily over the floor, and a week be- fore he was up and about. He looks forward to a sweet revenge this summer, as he has ordered two gal- lons of applejack to take home for his friends.——Philadelphia. Record. A Story with a llIoral. CHAPTER I. ' She was a woman whose age might safely be pronounced “uncertain,” and, as she stood at the counter fingering a half dozen pieces of dress goods by turn, it was evident that she was in the throes of uncertainty concerning some question of becomingness or What not. “Is it for yourself or a young lady?”' asked Roggs, the clerk, desiring to far cilitate the sale. _ The lady’s hands dropped to her side, ‘and as, in a moment, she walked away with a curt “Sorry to have troubled you,” Roggs was left to ruminate on the unstableness of the female mind as he waited for another customer. CHAPTER II. Once more there was a. woman of un- certain antiquity at a dress counter. It was a virtual repetition of the scene in the last chapter, except that this time the brisk and nattily dressed Toggs was the salesman. “Is the dress for yourself cr an old lady l” asked Toggs with innocent ur- banity,- and directly the young man might have been seen dextrously hand- ling the yard measure. CHAPTER III. Our two heroes are now middle-aged. 'l‘oggs is a. partner in the great firm in which he once held a humble clerkship. He dines on terrapin and quail on toast, while Roggs, in a shiny backed coat and shabby shoes, walks the streets. wendering why he never had any luck. 4---New York Sun. No ‘Vonder.

Inspired by an 'Appetite, a Tramp Tells a Thrilling Story, “Awful experiences? Yes.” said the tramp, as he sat at a Holland street kitchen table on Thursday forenoon and cut into the second piece of custard 1e. p “I'was sleeping soundly in a box car out in Iowa one night last summer, and the wind was blowing like thunder across the plains! Suddenly that car got loose—the brakes broke or suthin’— and it began to crawl along out of the siding and onto the main track. It was nuts for me. I thought the wind wouldn’t blow me far, and so I kept on. I stood in the door and saw the houses and fences go by faster and fa=ler, till all of a sudden I realized that I was go- ing too fast to get off, and no way of stopping it. Half an ‘hour after we— the car and I—dash'e’d through a little station, and I had just time to see the telegraph operator run out and look after us and then run back to telegraph down the line to clear the track. We were going mcre than a mile a mlnute, and my hair was standing on end. Forty miles down the road we went through another station, and on a sid- ing I caught sight of an engimz with steam up, and a man with a. rope on the cowcatcher. That engine chased us twenty miles down the track. The man with the rope threw it around the brake wheel on top of our car, and gradually stopped it, while all the time the wind was blowing a gale. “We had just got headed back toward the depot when an express train showed up where we should have met it ker- chunk—that’s good pie,” and he took another piece.——Lewiston Journal. BLOOERMS ARE UNPOPULAR. Few \Vomen are Seen Now in Bifurcated Garments. It is rather remarkable how the bloomer craze has affected certain cit' s, and disaffected others. It was pro hesied by most of the critics last year that when this riding season Open- ed drop-framed wheels would be no longer,popular among the ladies, but that all of them clad in their bloomers would scorch astride the light-weight diamond frame wheel, mounting and dismounting much in the same manner as their companions of the oppOsite sex. The prediction'has not become true, and the bloomer girl is fast disappear- ing, a fact which is proved by the in- creased orders for the- drop-framed wheels. A year's experience has con- vinced the average American girl who rides a wheel that the so-called rational costume for bicycle riding is not ration. all. but is an ill’ fitting garment which affords less comfort than the short skirt for riding, The Retort Courteous. The investigators whose names ap- pear in the newspapers in connection with the Roentgen ray experiments are a good deal bothered by applications from people who imagine they have bullets or other unpleasant foreign sub- stances in various parts of their anat- only.

I am too busy to cbme to Cleveland, but hope you will be able to come down here and locate the , bullet, as I am sure the case is worth your while.
