A party of guests was entertained on
a three weeks' trip on a houseboat on

landed at La Crosse lo attend an enter

lniniie the niirty landed to do some
shopping. They also visited the arse
nal at Hock Island. Some one wanted
cherries and when i.urliiigtoii was
reached the party went ashore. There
was a general interest In the town of
Nauvoo, 111., on account of lis early
Mormon history. The town Is far back
from the river. To please several
members of the party, the boat land
ed and they went to see what is left
of the old temple built by Joseph
Smith. Farther down there was a
unanimous Interest In the Chautauqua
grounds and Hotel I'lasa, the St. Louis
summer resort on the high rocks,
which are reached by tin elevator, and
the entire party went on an Interest
ing tour of exploration. Two days
were spent In St. Umis to enable the
guests to see two famous actors play
lug In that city. That trip was the
event of a lifetime for most of those
who were lucky enough to be included
among the guests.
A trip on the Mississippi Is Ideal and
one of the cxcr1cnces that every
American should enjoy before going
abroad, even though one cannot, per
haps, go in a houselsmt. It Is one of
those restful, beautiful trips the mem
iry of which remains for a lifetime.
Modest Jlequest.
The wit of the Irish Is proverbial,
mid Instances are not wanting to ahow
that they have all their wits about
them in time of danger. An Irish
switchman employed in the freight
yards of a Western city was unlucky
enough one day to get his left foot
fastened In that death -trap known as
Trog. A vigorous euori to iree
iilmself failed. A freight-train was
ticking down upon him, not more than
forty feet a way.
Quick as thought he whipped hit
knife out of his pocket, np d It, cut
the folds of his shoestring with one
sweep of the blade, Jerked his foot out
of Hie shoe, leaving the latter iu the
frog, and jumped to one side. He es
caped death by a margin of less than a
second.
The freight superintendent, hearing
of his narrow escape, called lilm in lo
Ills office the next day.
' Lurry," he said, "you showed won
derful presence of mind in an emer
gency yesterday. I should like to do
something for you to show my appre
ciation of it. What shall It be?".
'Well, hot," responded Larry,
scratching his bead, "the ahoe is r,s
good as lver, but the sthrlng's no. good
at nil now: Ye might give me an
ordher for a new pftli a? tn'1t!tthrlng.

There are a good many laughs iu the

LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. l.-Saf
blowers, Dillon and Carroll, were
brought to Lincolu yesterday froui

his been sentenced to a short term
in the puniti tiiljip.
When Dillon and Carroll were
taken from tha train Detective
Franklin was standing on the plat
form, lioth uii'u saw him almost
the moment they got on the ground,
and Carr 11 pointed to him and said:
"Ask that fellow about It, be is
a wise guy. Me knows it nil."
The reason given by Mr. Franklin
fur this fumlliu' greeting was that lie
has been nailing Uhsj two men all
over eastern Nebraska, lie was not
in on their capture near Grand Island
a few weeks ago. lie had not seen
them siuce their arrest then, but
from the descriptions given him be
was certain that lie knew them.
After seeing them he said they
were tin; men he had caught three
ears ago at Fairbury for the sheriff
uf Saline county, and they were also
the- iu n caught by sheriff Lancaster
uf York county, two years ago, and
sent to Filciid on a burgliry charge.
W hile tiiey were in Friend they es
caped from Jail.
Detfclive Franklin says they are
both bad tnm and that the catch and
convlclluu Is as good as has been
made In Nebraska in a long time.
He sais they are piofessioruls who
d i noti.ing else. They are evidently
veised lu the art of handling ex
plosives, and their confinement may
urevetit oilier bunk iobbtries.
