babies in the bed of siyounjr man who

Both babies \vuro iurfeotly undo nnd
both ffornu'ii ulalnieil the sumo oliildsiy.s ;

Both were born May 28 lust , both \vero
bevy , both had brown oycs and each
ivui rlied clevon pounds and a half. 13ich ;
mother WIH ; joiiloiis of the otlior , and
both claimed that hot * child was the bust
looldnir.
The little incident caused no end of
talk in tlio house , anil both Sirs. Col
lins nnd Jlfs. Houston received coujjnit-
ulationa and teasing galore , which they
took in perfect goodnature until the lust
bit of pleasantry , whlcli proved too inuuh
for thuin.
"V csterdiij * morningMrs. . Collins and
Mi's. Houston left the cherubs sleeping-
nnd Blurted out to do the day's mnrkot-
in } - . They both asked Mrs. Cornmitzlcy ,
who lives on the second lloor , to havoun
eye out for thu children.
IvErs. Conitnltzlcynfterwjird found that
she liorsulf had to fro out , f-o , sitter tnlc-
ltir { , look lit the sleeping beauties , she
decided that they would bo all right
until their mothers returned and \vunt
about l\er \ Ijusiness.
Itvns \ only half an hour from the tlmo
Mrs. CominiUky went away until the
inotliers returned and found thotr babies
missing1.
When the sweet little darlings wore
found placidly bleeping1 , every woman on
the Uouk was brought in to give her
opinion as to which was which.
No ono , howuvor , could toll ono bdby
from the other , and things looked us
though the whole ) business was going to
result in iv very intcroslin j flfjlit.
Matters were iimilly qulotod down u
bit nnd ! Mro. Collins and Mrs. Houston
both took a eliild , though the latter WHS
fiiirobhc hud not fjot tlio right one.
During the ) argument both babies he-
gaii to cry.
"You've ft-ot inv bahy. I can toll by
the way hu crlcsl" shouted Mrs. Hous
ton.
' Get out ; you'ro crazy. "
'I'll hare that child if I huvo to steal
it , " roptieil MM. Houston , nnd then Mr.
Illekey , who owns a milk route , came to
the assistance of the women.
"Let both the mothers go rmtsldc'ho

mothers como in , toss up a penny for

After sotno talk thnt was accepted as
satisfactory.
Mrs. Houston -won the toss and chose
hot' baby. Mrs. Collins took tlio other ,
and both shouted with glee because each
hud got the ono she wanted.
As it is , both women nro sntisiied ,
though the general Impression about the
house is Hint each has the wrong Iwbv.

The Idea of a village that is given

nishes uddltionul proof of tlio non-sippll-
cubility of boiuo American nninijs to

Twenty inllos from Kvnnsvjllo , Ind. ,
lies this cat-nuinufncturing hamlet ,
which is becoming known far and near
as the place where ono can at any time
got the latest thing In Angora cats and
the latest quottitlons.
The way of the village nnd its history
Is us follows : In 1810 a.M1110. Bernstein ,
a noted vocalist , gave an .Angora Ititton
to a hotel keeper. As the aristocratic
little feline grow to immhoqd it had a
ditllcult row to hoc. 1U enormous size
and bunliy tall furnished a line target
for the ubiquitous small boys but , do-
spitoitspoi-M-uutors , this cat grew , and
llnnlly tllcil ntthongo of sixteen years ,
afU-ra Ufa of unremitting sentimentality.
Could this Thomas the First nriso from
his honored grave today ho could point
with pride to n. progeny BO numerous
that Its members can bo found in every
stuto in tlio union.
I'lio mixing of the Angora character
istics with those of the mongrel eat has
produced a superior sort of animal ,
whoso distinguishing tendency Is an In
discriminate love ot music. Quantity ,
not quality , la the foundation upon
which the Angora's musical taste is
based , and ho can hear oven in the
voluminous notes of a wet IJhss drum
ravishing strains that are lost to human
ears. Itonco the immoof "Now Har

After weeks of " " "
"roundlnup , "cutting
out , " branding nnd marking eixysn cor
respondent la the Onlvcston News , \\o \
had gotlon together 1,700 liead of the
finest steers to bo found on the banks of
the muddy I'oco * . in N'ow Mexico. Two
j days later the "boss'1 rode Into camp ,
I consulted vlth his foreman tuid eight
] men , including the writer , \vcro chosen
to drive the cuorting , bellowing liord to
Springer , N , M. , a distance or "oO miles.
The evening of the sixth day was
cloudy nud cool and indications of an ap
preaching storm were visible.
"Have lev watch 'em putty close to
night , "boys , " said out1 foreman. "Looks
likowo'ro goin" tor have somorain. ' '
The writer was ou first guard. The
cattle were restless , showing u decided
disposition to run , and instead of walk
ing outliorsus around the herd wo were
? oinpelltil ; to travel at u slmi'ii trot.
Daylight faded out and pitchy darkness
Muwedcd. The cattle were indistin
guishable at a dozen paces , anil fre
quently we wcro compelled to pull up
short to avoid colliding with a steer or
with each other. This continued until
the arrival of the second guard , when
Iho Increased forces succeeded In quietIng -
Ing them somewlmt and the writer and
liis mate started for camp guided by the
light of Ihucamp fire , which shone like
n star on a little elevation about u half u
inilo away.
Wo Inul scarcely turned into our blan-
IceK fullv dressed as usual , with the ex
ception of our boots , when the rain com
menced to fall , in drops at lirtt , lint
steadily Increasing- downpour. Bhin-
kots were drawn over heads and grunts
of displeasure wore hoard on every sklo ,
whoa a rumble and shaking of the
ground'vas hoard , mingled with hoarse
shouts.
"Thoy'rorunningby Pyolled the
foreman , jumping from his blankets
"Mount ! mount ! every ono of you , "
funning to his lior.se as ho spoke , which
was picketed u short distance away.
jN'ot waiting to don" boots , the writer
vaulted Into the saddle and tore off after
tlio foreman , the llickurlng light of the
camp fire , last being extinguished by
the rain , revealing tbo remaining' ' men
hurriedly preparing to follow.
Ouideu by the thunder of hoofs the
herd was soon overtaken , and in obed
ience to the foreman's yells I strove to
"get in front of 'em. " I could faintly
discern in the darkness a line of bellow
ing , snorting beasts , and urging "Nig
ger Baby" to his utmost sueboedod in
reaching the end of the line , and thcro
found two of the bo.ys galloping in the
lead , fchoutlng and waving their oil
coats oi1 "slickers" and trying to stop
the headlong lliuht.
Iho confusion of ihosccno wnsindo-
serihablo. Tlio terrified snorts of the
cattle woronlmost drowned by the clash
ing of horns , thunder of the hoofs and
shouts of the men. My oil coat was
strapped to my saddle , not having had
tinio to unfasten it. 1 tore jit the
leather straps , succeeded in lee oning
them , and turning in my saddle shook
it before the leaders , adding my shouts
to the din around mo.
As well try to stop the torrent of
Niagara. The wild race was unslack-
eiied , and , from traditions , I know that
a misbtop of my horse sulllcicnt to
throw mo , or his fall , meant tha * f would
bo cut to pieces by the sharp hoofsof the
cattle.
'Then an unexpected event occurred.
The herd divided into
two sections , ono
of which I was the sole leader of , while
the other portion galloped off at right
angles , led by ray two companions. i Vr
[ i few minutes I could hear their shouts ,
then they grosv fainter and fainter , and
were linally lost in the gallop of hoofs
iround me.
On wo thundered. My throat was raw
ind swollen from shouting , and my
"slicker" had fallen froin my liand. The
rain hnd ceased , but I was wet to the skin
tuid numbed by the cool air. I thought
the pound , of hoqfs was not so deafening ,
and as the clouds Uow away so that I
see a few yards in front of mo I found
that I was leading about a dozen steers
that had bccpmo separated from the
lierd. I had just made this discovery
wlion they slackened speed and finally
stopped , panting and quivering , nil the
run knocked out of them. Of what use
was a handful of steers out of 1,700V
Killing oil'a few yards I listened , hut
could Jiear no sound of my companions.
Becoming conscious of a severe pain In
my loft fool I reached down and found
that I was literally pincushioned with
the sharp needles of a cactus , having
ridden through a bed of the prickly
stuff , my foot unprotected by boots.
In tlio excitement of the run I had not
felt it , but now the pain was intense. I
plucked such iis I could and then delib
erated what was best to do. 5Iy lone
do/.on steers had wandered away and I
inado no eitort to overtake thorn' , know
ing the usclcrifcness of the undertaking.
Here was a predicament. In the
middle of the prairu * , shoeless and shiv
ering with cold , not knowing in what
direction to go to reach camp ami un
horse blown with his fearful run. Know
ing the instinct of horses I dropped the
bridle reins and suffered him to go
where ho would.
Ho promptly wheeled around and
started otT on a slow trot which ho kept
up for about Hfteen minutes. I know
wo were camped on the bank of a river ,
and supposed that lie would go in that
directionvbut wishing to testhislnstlnct
I turned him from his chosen courseand
to my dismay ho complied nnd started
elf in tlio now direction justas willingly.
I tested him from every point of the
compass , and ho seemed to goiiiany
direction just as willingly.
I gave up in despair then , nnd con
cluded to keophim moving until day
light , whoa I know I could find the
river. Gn ho trotted , while I began to
curse tilt ) fate that over lad mo to become -
come a cow puncher. After riding I
should judge un hour I was delighted to
lind myself on the river bank ; but then u
new question arose : Was the camp bo
fore mo or behind mo ? Again I tested
the horse. Ho would go up or down ,
just as I pleased. I peered through the
darkness , trying to look for anything
that might servo as a guide , when nfar
oil In the distance I saw a faint light
which grow to a tiny blaze nnd then died
out. Wlioro there was n light there
must bo life , and with renewed liopo I
galloped off in that direction , and about
ton minutes later hnd the satisfaction of
seeing the canvass top of thomess wagon
looming up before me.
The light I hnd seen was a match in
the hands of ono of the boys , who had
struck It to light the lantern , which had
burned out. Jts last flickering gleam
had been scon by mo quite accidentally ,
and his providcntiallighting of a match
had guided mo aright.
Wo were tlio only two of the outfit
who had readied camp that night. The
others , llko myself , had chased the cat-
tlountil they scattered , and hail spent
the night in a vain search for camp.
Daylight found many of them traveling
in an entirely opiwslto direction , and
ono nearly ton miles from his destina
tion.
Messengers were dlspmohcd to n
ranclio across the river and to another
twenty miles nwny. Men wore aunt to
our absistance , nnd with a force of twon-
ty cowboys the bcutturcd cuttlo wore
rounded up in two days , und wo con
tinued our journey , having lost but six
head in tlio wild stampede.

A recent issue ol Prank Lcsllo's Illus
trated newspaper contains the following
Interesting description ofVtill street :
It fccnw to bo the fashion among a
greatimmy peopleand , prottygood people
they nro oftentimes , todocry Wall street
and to declare Hint the Inlluoncoof "NS'all
street is detrimental to the business in
terests of the country. They speak of it
M of seine poisonous plant whoso pes
tilential odors breed mischief and dis
ease on every luind ami they cry aloud
for its utter annihilation.
Now , it is perfectly true that specula
tive Hynditiiitcs and pools nro oftentimes
organized in'Wall street and tulvnnco
the price of stocks and securities or de
press thorn artificially , without any ref
erence to their uetutu vnluo or tlio con
ditions prevailing generally in the
country at tlio time , or partlcularlv
with regard to the corporations which
these securities represent. IJut move
ments of that sort arc the exception in
Wall street , and by 110 means the rule.
Outsiders who know nothing -of the
neighborhood of the stock exchange
may think differently , hut a very casual
investigation of the facts in tlio case
will show Hint what I say Is true. As a
general thing , the condition of Wall
street indicates not the result of manip
ulation on the part of speculators , but
the conditions , financial and industrial ,
which exist throughout the country.
Speculators may tamper with these at
times , but it is impossible for any com
bination of men to elutngo or direct the
effect of these essential conditions for
any considerable length of tlmo any more
than it is possible for any human being
to defy the laws of nature. An irrever
ent operator In grains once , commenting
on the fsillureof the pool to put up the
price of wheat and maintain It in the
race of a big crop , declared that it was
no use trying to buck against God Al
mighty. Ho win upset tlio bears every
time ; and the student hears more truth
expressed in these few words than he
does in whole columns of sermons and
tirades preached iigtiinst "Wall street by
ministers and moralists , who oulv hnvn
a vague and indistinct Idea of the sub
ject about which they are talking.
Wall street is the pulsu of the nation.
As the minute hand , on u clock denotes
the fractional changes of the hour , so the
lluctuations in the Wall btreet market
show the rise und fait in the business
temperature of the country. Lot there
bo any activity in mercantile or manu
facturing circles , arid it is immediately
reflected in the stock' exchange and on
tbe other exchanges where values nru
depending on public confidence. On
the other hand , \vuoii values are
affected unfavorably In the country at
large , a depressing effect is noticed in
TV all ttvot immediately , and tht prices
of securities aiiur products takn u , lower
turn. "Wall street is l > y no iiuuiiit ; t'ig
gambler's paradise that it has been pic
tured , The tricky operator may for the
lime promote thd oll'ect of favorable con
ditions beyond wliat.irilogitiiuntc , or un
naturally depress them , but in the long
run ho is bound to bo swallowed up.
Whatever people may think , Wall
street is not polluted by operators who
are intent on making corners or distrib
uting unfavorable rumors concerning
properties so that they shall make inouoy
on declining quotations. There is no
place in the business world where more
hard work , closer calculations , keener
insight Into affairs and philosophical
conclusions are demanded and supplied
than in the bankers' and brokers' ollices
in the neighborhood of the stock ex
change , and there is no class of moil who
watch events more closely and more in
telligently than the operators who be
long in these ollices.
It was to "Wall street that the govern
ment ciimo for help when money was
needed to carry on the late war , and it
won from Wall street that the assistance
came- which made the contlmmnco of the
government a possibility , Was it a
gathering of gamblers and selfish specu
lators who gave this assistance ? That
question can scarcely bo answered in the
atlirmatlvo. Wall street has nlwnysbeou
ready te ro&txmd to any claim , public or
private , where linimcial or business
problems were to bo solved. It is true ,
I repeat , that men who have iho in-
sigmiLs of a gambler have taken advant
age of the opportunities afforded in Wall
street , but those are not the men who
conduct the real business of the street ,
and who represent'tho stock exchange.
If it were so , Wall street would not bo
the plaeo it is , where the surplus money
from all over the world Hews for invest
ment. Investment in what ? Not in
pools and pyndicatos , but in the securi
ties of the corporations which are de
pendent on the material development of
the country , and onwhich the material
development of the country depends.
"NVhat would the railroads of the
country have been without Wall street ?
What would their projectors have done
if they would have had to have gone
around from ono largo city to another to
raise the money necessary for their con
struction'1 ; Wo would not have had the
railroad system that wo have today If
Wall street had not boon in oxiblonce ,
and if it had not been possible to nego
tiate the sjilo of bonds thcro wherewith
to build them. That once granted , think
of the fertile lands that those networks
of rails have opened up to millions from
all natioiiH of the globe , and the enor
mous increase of wealth thus secured for
the development of our national re
sources. If this lluo o ( thought is pushed
to its conelimon , wo must credit Wall
strcot not only with , the , railroads and
the railroad system , , but with having
given employment Vo.nll the men who
are engaged in the management
and operation of thq roads , and thumen ,
also , who work in nll the trades that
contribute torailroadiuildinglncludlng )
car building and locomotive building of
all kinds. Tbcsoirniiunt to 2,000,000 ,
and area power in 'tho country today.
While it Is unfortuni(61y ( true that disreputable -
reputable projeclortfand managers have ,
especially through t'nb medium of con
struction companion. I'mndo ' use of rail
roads for the nurpoad iof swindling cap
italists , yet in spite of such great
abuses , the railroad system propagated
by Wall street capital has been chlnlly
Instrumental in the development of the
wealth and prosperity of this country.
Wall street is not only indispensable
to this country , but foreign countries
are fooling the necessity of itaoxistonco
more and inoro every day. The London
stock exchange nnd the Paris and Ber
lin bourses would become insufferably
dull If the Now York stock exchange
wore to bo closed for a week or for a
day. 'Jho progress of great Industries
depending ujion them would languish ,
jiihtasour railroads , telegraphs , and
other entorpriftO * would sutler if depriv
ed of Wall street. The talk about
abolishing Wall street is mmfcaiiHo piiro
and simple. Our great financial center
is fast approaching the point where It
will become the grcnt clearing house of
tlio world's enterprises and Industries.
As I have said Iwforc , In the course of
evolution and u higher civilization wo
may yet be able to got along comfortably
without congroiMi hut without Wnfl
street never. Hi\HYCu\vs. : :

The way the Slwush Indians , of I'ugct
Sound , build their canoes is Tory Inter
esting. It is really wonderful how thcso
dirty aborglncs can , with the crudest
means and with a few day's work , con
vert tin unwieldy log into tt trim and
pretty canoe.
One Monday morning n traveler saw
II Luck building u llro at the base of a
largo cedar tree. This was tlio first stop
in tlio construction of u eunoo that ho
intended louse upon the following Sat
urday. Ho kept the flru burning merrily
all that day and far into the night ,
when a wind came uuand completed
the downfall of the monarch of the
forest.
The next day the kick a-oso betimes
nnd , borrowing n cross-cut saw from a
logger who was absent on a drunk , cut
the trunk ot the tree In twain at a point
some fifteen foot from where it had bro
ken olT , and then , with a dull hatchet ,
ho hacked away until the log had as
sumed the shape of the desired canoe. In
this work lie was helped bv his squaw.
The old fellow then built u lire on the
upper side of the log , guiding the course
of the 11 ro with daubs of clay , and In
duo course of time the interior of tlio
canoe had been burned out. Half a
day's work with the hatchet rendered
the inside smooth and shapely. The en-
nee was now complete , though It ap
peared to be dangerously narrow of
beam. This the Indian soon remedied.
Ho filled the shell two-thirds full of
water and Into the lluld ho dropped half
a dozen stones that had been heating in
tlio fire for nearly a day. The water at
once attained a boiling point and so soft
ened the wood that the buck and the
scjuaw were enabled to draw out the
sides nnd thus supply the necessary
breadth to beam. Thwarts and slats
were then placed in the canoe nnd the
water and stones thrown out. Wlion t ho
steamed wood bcgan _ to cool and contract ,
the th warts > hold it back and the sides
held the thwarts , and there the canoe
was , complete , without a nail , joint or
crevice , for it was inado of one piece of
wood. The Siwash did not complete it
its soon as ho had promised , but it took
him only eight days.

While wo were waiting at Trenton
for the Long Branch train a lot of baggage -
gage had to ho transferred , says a
writer in the Detroit Free l'res& . The
manner in which it was handled excited
the indignation of a score of passengers ,
but no ono wanted a "sceno * ' and no
protests wore made until the last trunk
was reached. It was an ordinary y.ino
trunk , well strapped and stout enough
to go around the world with fair usage.
The man oa the truck ended it up , guvo
it a twist and u. Hiving und , it struck oti
end with acrasiutiiii bur ? ' -l-pon. This
owner had been quietly surveying "ojw'r-
ations , and as tno climax "camo lie
stopped forward and asked :
l'ilo\v \ much will it take to repair that
trunk ? "
"Damfino , " was the reply , followed by
a chuckle. '
"Then I will post you in your bus !
ness ! " quietly remarked tlio passenger.
Ho was n solid , broad-shouldered man ,
and with ono grab ho had the bnggngo
man by the hip and shoulder and held
him aloft as if ho had boon a bundle of
hay.
' What's' the damage V" ho asked as ho
prepared to heave.
"llerci bton hold on don't1 ! shouted
the terrified destroyer of baggage.
"What's the damage to my trunk ? "
"Five dollars , and I'll pay it ! "
"O , you will ? Very well. "
His victim had scarcely reached his
feet when ho fished up a 85 bill. His
face was whitur than Hour , and ho
trembled so ho had to sit down.
"Don't you forgot that a passenger's
trunk has all the rights of a passenger , "
said the man as ho turned away to light
a cigar and walk up and down.
"Who is heV" 1 asked of the man on
my right.
"Don't you know ? Why , that's Mul-
doon , the wrestler and trainer ! "
