Frisco Kid loaned back in a chnlr and
blow oipareUo Hinolto through his nose ,
while ho looked about for approval. Ho
got what ho wanted , for the room was
filled with boys of his general makeup.
Not Suiulity fcchool lads , but tough ,
it cannot bo denied , and rather proud of
it , tboro h no gainsaying. They Imd
just returned from a tour of the east ,
says the San Francisco Examiner. Some
of them got as far as Now York. The
others Mopped at Chicago. All of them
laid over occasionally on the way. This
is why the trip consumed four months.

"You battered a house for a lump ?
Well , what does that moan ? "
Thoio wore eight in the group , and it
is not ploa-nnt to have sixteen eyes fo
cused upon vou in token of pity for your
ignorance. Frisco Kid explained : " W'y ,
it's ' to ask for grub. Sometimes you gets
it and HOiuutlines you don't "
"You'hO do best on talk , Frisco , go
ahead , " buggcs'.ud one of the others , and
Frisco wont ahead : "In do fuat place
lot mo intordnce do kids. Doors the
Napkin Kid , McGlnty Kid , .Tap Kid ,
State Kid and Kddy Kid , Kid Fin , Mlo-
tado Kid and me. We started out four
months ago. Wo heard wo could got
work at Vacavillc , , but we couldn't , 'n' '
wont into camp. Some of do kids helped
a butcher and got paid in liver and such ,
and wo iisod to lift potatoes from a field.
We'd yank up do vines and put "cm back
again "after swiping do spuds , and wo
ewe a grocor's bill. Hut w'on wo couldn't ,
gat no work wo begins to scatter and
take to the rods. "

"I got ditched in Nevada"interrupted ,
Kid Kin , "and was walkm' crest the
.desert dead tired , w'en I met Charlie
Fair. You know Charlie. 'Ilullo ,
Charlie. ' pays I. 'Hullo yourself , Kid , '
says he. 'Wat the dovii are you doin'
here ? ' IIo gave mo seine stuff , an" I
hunted up do rest of the gang. Doy was
played out along the track , and wo got
fiotno punk ; wasn't much clso to got.
Charliu's a sport. "
It may bo explained that punk is broader
or something CM > that drops into the
stomachic void gracefully without being
exactly a delicacy.
"When wo got to Reno , " resumed the
Frisco Kid , "I was chucked into jail.
Boss place. Throe squares a day. ' Give
mo ten days. Three off for bohavin'
and don chased us out of town. Had to
run" fho what yon call it ? Gauntlet ,
yes ; had to run that , and it was a daisy.
"Got to Clioyenno. Jeff Carr's mar
shal , and ho gives you what you need
wid a big sapling club. Ton minutes to
leave town. Battered the fort and got
a lunch. Got some soldier clothes and a

Ho wouldn't give up ; said ho was down

"Do worst thing about Nevada , " said
Mickado ( and that's the way ho spoils
it "is that can't shoot
) , you no snlpos ,
and cigarettes is agin do law. You buys
your tobacco and doy slings you a package -
ago of cigarette paper BO'S you stop on

vada's a hard game. 1 got froze up in a
tool box and doy like to never got mo

"As I was a sayin' , " resumed Frisco
Kid ohco more. "As I was a sayin1 , won
Mickado took the floor , I got to Choy-
Qnno and got out. But don't forgot do
Mormons. Do route from Salt Lalco to
Ogden is groat. Dora Mormons gives
, you milk and honey sometimes. Won
you batter 'om an1 doy won't see it , wy
you takes a lump anyhow , and it's all do
same.
"Down among do Nebraska boosters
It'e pretty easy. Sometimes dey chases
you out of'town and may bo doy gives you
ton days , but farmers amt on , and you
batters "cm till you can't rest. Onobloko
was driving a lot of cattle and ho said
ho wouldn't give mo any stuff , but I
could como along and drive a team.
Never had a line in my hand before ,
B'olp mo. and I drove thorn mustangs all
over the bloomin' prairie. That night
we wont into camp near Gottonburg , an'
I says to the cattle man , 'Lot's have
Borne dough. ' 'Wat's do matter wid
bread ? ' saya ho. So I told him I was
going to town. Ho said all right , and
he'd hang a lantern on a polo BO'S I'd not
pot lost coming back , an' I borrowed his
gun and soaked it for throe cases and
took to do road again. And comin1 back
after boin * clean to Now York blowod if
I didn't see do same guy. I waves mo
hat at 'Iin from under the car , but ho

Hutu cm the Lookout.
"At Ogden do bulls is on do lookout , "
wild the .Fap Kid. "Thoy catches you and
you goes to the gravel pit. Ono day some
of us wont up the crick an1 was makln1 a
Blow. Long comes a couple of stiffs. 'Hi
tboro,1 they says , 'tho bulls is coniin',1
and wo cuts and do stiffs gets away wid
do stow.
"A bull ? Oh , bo's a cop , and a stiff is
a tramp wat won't work and don't ' carry
a blanket. A tramp wat carries a blanke't
IB a 'gay cat' nnd a 'stiff' does ' 1m up
every chance. "
Frisco Kid could keep silent no longer.
"Omaha's a queer layout"ho said. "Lot
of us got pulled there , and the old Dutch
judge ho ant us was wo guilty or not
guilty. 'Not guilty,1 of course , wo said ,
and bo bald , 'Your a liar. Ton days. ' I
didn't know Cheocago much , and w'on I
climbed oil do rod I was broke and went
to sleep in a park. Uimoby a bull comes
along and bo whangs mo over the soles
wid a club. 'Wat or you doln' hero ? " ho
says. 'I just come from Now York to
BOO do fair , ' I Bays , 'an' am oxpeotin1
moneyJrom mo folks. ' So ho didn't run
mo in , an1 nftor seeing do fair I wont on

Well ; McGinty Kid can play do mouth

' -'Buy , dose Chicago Btiffa is dead

' 'HocuHok w'on wo got ditched off the

Stutluns ia far apart , and wo was mighty
hungry , " This from Mickado. " 1 sees
A inuu ut a sidetrack wid lot o' empty
cars ho'd just pot to ship cattio to Chicago
cage In. 1 battered him for a food , and
ho said boln' as it wat only ono I could
go to do cook wagon , t'reo miles away.
Do rest of do pang waa layln' low. Wo
found do wagon and told the cook
wo was from his boss nnd ho waste
to feed us , and you never saw such a pllo
of grub. Well , I was dyln' for a smoke ,
and just lifted a package of tcrbacker
ami wo went back to the water tank.
Pretty soon alcng camoa lot of cowboys ,
protly hot , lookln' for do torbackor. Wo

roosted high , an' wo drlllrd out mighty
quick. Dem cowboys would o' done us ,

Frisco Kid was wiggling in his chair.
"Talk about hard timo-i here , " ho ex
claimed. "Why , it isn't n marker to
New York. Pcoplo there sloop out
doors , men and women , old women. But
wo got along all right. I'd work the
docks , and I'd pay ! 'Pleaso , mister , lot
mo carry vour valise ? It's a ca o o'got
to , ' and ho\l give mo two bits. You can
got a square there for 10 cents.
' 1 thought I'd Hud Frisco Kid down
around Steve Urodie's place or on do
Bow'ry , " said the Stat'o Kid , "an11 did. "
"Isn't Steve a hard lookin1 mug ? "
asked Frisco.
"Ag hard as you'll find , " acquiesced
the companion of his tour.
So the boys chattered on of their ox-
porioncos. They told of Philadelphia
nnd the old lady who gave two straight-
tips ami a bowl of soup for 10 cents ; of
Baltimore , with its old and shabby
houses and its distressing .surplus of
what they called "niggers. " Cincinnati
scorns to have ploasud thorn. "Thoro
isn't a bettor town than 'Giiici1 in the
United States , " said Frh-co Kid , and the
rest gave assent.
Tlio return trip was full of adventure
of being ditched , of being in jail , of
begging , of pilfering for these young
pilgrims do not respect tiio tenets of
Bot'iety in many matters. "Chicago was
good when wo came back , " vouchsafed
ono. "Lots of Californiatis there. Bat

"How to Make Banks Safe" is made a
prominent theme in the current number of
Rhodes' Journal of Banking , and it is sug
gested that an issue of clearing house loan
certificates in the form of money bo per
mitted in financial emergencies subject to a
tax that would enforce their withdrawal
when the emergency requiring their issue
had passed away. Under various topics the
issue between gold and sliver is discussed ,
but the paradox of money remains to puz/.lo
the arrogance of loarneJ lenorance. nnd the
lesson may yet .bo learned that just us legis
lators may obstruct ns well as enact laws , so
money may carry on an abuse of obstruction

"Governments and PoliticiansAncient nnd
Modem , " by Charles Marcotte , is nu attack
on republican and democratic forms of gov
ernment as Inferior to monarchies. Just nt
present our country is not troubled with that
issue and there is no danger of any harm
from the work ; In fact , any thoughtful
reader would lay it down with a smile , con
vinced that the writer's narrowness and as
sumption was the product of having lived
long under a monarchy and itself contra
dicted nil his claim. The form of govern
ment is u wornout theme , and Is ono that

Ono of the loading contributions to the
current Dietotio and Hvgienlu Gazette is a
dissertation on "Somo Forms of Food Adul

dwelling on the usa of copper to brighten
the color of canned vegetables. The writer
is candid enough to admit that not thu
slightest trace of harm has ever been traced
Irom the Infinitesimal quantities employed ,
but harps on its evil as an adulteration ,
Commercial demagogy has plundered the
public enough disguised in its howl against
adulteration. Statements nboutadultoratcd
goods have been persisted in that are false
nnd are only nlinod to drive away computi-
tton , and loglslatuies have ueun adulterated
toshapo laws with the eolo aim of driving
out of business thu smaller rivals of &omo of
our great monopolies. The less wo hoar of
adulteration the hotter , Common liw pro
tects the citizen without vapuo adulteration
laws aimed to create a false impression in
tha public mind and scare them Into paying
higher prices than necessary for their wunts ,
I Ml the professional medical ngltntor begin
to purify himself and ccusg to bo the tool of
corrupt Jobbers nod give the public a rest

onli-r in Cr.Hfoniia. The bishop f > ald that
the cloration of a woman to the order was
merely a return of woman to the place she
occupied when in the upper chamber nt
Jerusalem , when the Holy Ghost camn down
upon the apostles. Hu hoped Unit Miss
Heed's example would soon bo followed by
others.
I'tt.lTTl.R Of Till ! IVf/AttitrKtt * .
Eight little ; iecro boys pot on a Niagara
street car at tle | corner of Vermont street
about 70 : ! ! o'eloclc last night , says the Buffalo
Express. , They had boon out to St. Mary's
to rehearse something or other ( they were
choir uoys ) and tlioy woru then on their way
to St. Paul's. , The women in the car talked
to them and asked them all sorts of ques
tions. They all talked willingly , except ono
little follow. whdKvas as black as coal , and
who seemed to < bo the butt of the other
seven. i
'So you all sjnjt ? " asked ono of the women.
'Yep , " answered tnrco of the boys at the
same time.
' Then you arts regular little blackbirds.1'
"Oh. no , ma'am. Blackbirds don't do
nothln' but cliifpI'm a canary. "
"An1 I'm a mockin' bird , " said another , and
each boy told what kind of a bird ho was , un
til the eighth diie" , the butt before mentioned ,
was the only ohohvho had said nothing.
"And what kind of a bird nro you , my lit
tle fellow ! " nslied the woman.
' 'Deed , ma'am , " he answered , "I specs I
mus' bo a chicken. 1 gets it lu the ueclc so
ofCun. "
Time to netlrc Them. LittloDickAuntie
says all these pretty things culled bric-a-brac
used to bo in rcg'lar use. I wonder w'en they
went out of fashion and got stuck way up on
mantelpieces. Little Dot I guess it was
w'en folks found that some of their chlldrens
was goln' to bo boy's.
Mamma Harry , didn't I hear you teasing
Georglo Jones ?
Harry Yes.
"Was that doing unto others as you would
have them do unto you. "
"Yos. I just wanted him to try It on me ,
'cause ' I knew I could lick him in a minute. "
Auntie You should ask to bo excused
when vou leave the tablo.
Little Nephew Should It I thought from
the way you acted about that third piece of
pie that you'd be glad to see me go.
Mother Horrorsl How did you tear your
clothes so ?
Small Boy Trying to got over a barbed
wire fence without tearin" 'em.
Among examples of "pious sentiments
missing their mark , " the following beats all
competitors that I have como across. It Is
said to como from a tombstone in the North
west Provinces. I do not know whether It
is new , but it is good enough to boar repeti
tion :
Sacred to the Memory of
The Rov. .
Who , after twenty years' unrcmittlnir labor
as a Alissionary , was accidentally
shot by his Kitmagnr.
"Well done , thougood and fulthfulServant. "

Rev. D. II. L. Wayland tells this story on
himself : "On a recent occasion the Itatn-
blor , according to his fcoblo light , proauhcd
the gospel in a village which is enriched ,
illuminated nnd sanctilled by the presences of
a school of propuots. With such capacity ns
ho was possessed of ho endeavored to preach
to the people about God , Christ , the immor
tal soul , nud the eternity that spreads
around and beyond us. A local paper of tbo
following \vcok. wishing to do the handsome
thing , stated that the pulpit was occupied ,
by Sivand-So , and added : 'Tho doctor's remarks
entertaining. " '
marks were very

Watts I don't believe Jonah was swal
lowed bv a whale. A whale's throat is coo
narrow for any such performance ,
Potts But } , binK how small the man must
have felt when ho realized that ho was the
original Jonah.
It is related of John Wosioy that on ono
occasion ho w.s riding along a highroad
when ho saw a ni'in kneeling by the \vaysldo
breaking stones. "Ah I" eriod the great
preacher , " 1 wwn i couiu uroaic tno Hearts
of stone who hear mo as easily ns you are
breaking those stones. " The man looked up
and replied : "Did you over try to break
thorn on your knect. * ; "
"Did you over , " said ouo proachcr to an
other , "stand ut thu door after your mirmon
and listen to wljat the people said about it
as they passed out ? " Replied he : "I did
once a pause and u sigh but I'll never do
U again 1"
"Don't you think Rev , Stilt's sermons are
awfully narrow ! "
"I suppose they are , but , goodness , he
makes up for it , I should think , in the
lungtli. "
