Billy asked the deputies for old tunes'

on, an' as Bob, aa' Jim, too, had knowa
Billy foraloag taaw, they thought they
couldnt lefiaw a request like that, so
they looseaed one bracelet an' left it
danglin' by the other wrist-
At dinner time Bob said he was gain'
over the way to get sometbin' to eat, an'
Jim, he was left with Billy. The Kid
was draggin' hia leg irons with, him aa
he walked about, an' Jim Bell waa read
in', but lifted his eyes every time the
TvTil come close to him. All the same,
Billy got his work in in great shape, for
he watched his chance an' buried the
loose handcuff in the skull of the dep
uty. To make no mimakp, he pulled
Jim's gun from his boot an' started
pumpiii lead into him at a great rate.
At the first shot Bob Oilinger jumped
from the table where he waa eatln' an'
saidr "Xy God! there's Billy tryin' to

Of course a big crowd got around, but
they wasn't all agm. Billy. An' when be
got the drop on a feller an' tokl him to
come up an' file hia irons off, why he did
it- When he got free he rode out o' Lin

when he heard, didn't he cuss? Parties
made out to catch Billy, but he got dowa

toned down he came up into New Mexico

I do not think many people know- of
this, and at some time it may be of the
greatest use to lawyers and others who
are engaged in the search for mimng
heirs. and who want to uncertain whether
a certain person was livinataparticular

It is an interesting study to note the
evolution of the census, so to speak. For
instance, in turning to the first census
the first volume on which I laid my hands
happened to be the returns for North
umberland and Mifflin counties. Penn

of hundred pagra. 4x3 inches. On the

There are no printed headings as are
found in later census returns, and at
the top of every page the subdivisions
are written. At tliat time ail that the
enumerator was required to do was to
take the names of the heads of families,
the number of males in each family
above and under 16 years of age, the
number of females, without regard to
age, "all other free persons" and the
slaves. Apparently the government did
not provide books of a uniform size for
the use of the enumerators, for some of
them are big and others smalL
In the second census a great stride was
made in the way of obtaining a more
accurate and thorough enumeration.
This year printed headings were used,
and the ages were divfded at follows:'
Cutler 10. of 10 and under 16, of 16 and
under 26. of 26 and under 45, of 45 and
upward). The same classification waa
adopted for females.
The third adopted the same age di
visions, but in. addition some slight atten
tion was paid to manufactures.
The changes made in the fourth were
the addition of a column for the ages of
males between 16 and 18, the enumera
tion of unnaturalized persons, the num
ber of people engaged in agriculture,
commerce and manufactures. Separate
volumes for the first time were devoted
to industrial statistics, and the occupa
tions were minutely divided. An inves
tigation was also instituted as to the
juwant of material used in manufactur
ing establislunents, the number of per
sona employed, value of the plant, pro
duction, revenue, etc.
The fifth made the enumeration still
more definite. The age schedule waa di
vided in this way: Under 5, from 5 to 10,
10 to 15. 15 to 20. and from 20 in 10 year
periods up to 100. The deaf, dumb and
bund were also enumerated.
In the sixth for the first time the num
ber of pensioners "for revolutionary and
military services was given. The edu
cational, industrial and commercial sta
tistics are very complete.
The -seventh was really the first
thorough census, as it gave for the first
time the name of every person in the
United States at the time that the census
waa taken. The occupation or profes
oa of every male, the value of his real
estate, the aeliool attendance, the num
ber of illiterates, the insane, indigent
and criminal were all counted. Slaves
for the first time were enumerated in
separate volumes, as were also the mor
tality statistics, The amount of taxa
tioa. the number of libraries, news
papers, the different religious denomina
tions, with the value of their property,
aad the question of wages all received
attention.
The eighth and ninth were on about
the same scale, with some alight addi

being- the cause of death of every indi

Where Krad Was.
On one of the South Side avenues lives
a bright meed little miss of scarcely
these summers, whose watchfulness
brought to light facts for this story. The
neighborhood is blessed with one of those
breadwinners who do odd jobs for that
same bread. Thia man Fred he fe
called was engaged by the mother of
thia little Miriam to carry a load of coal
into the basement. Going- to the win
dow some time later the mother discov
ered that Fred had finished the job, aad
she wondered at bis non-appearance.
Hearing Miriam langhing in the kitrhen
an unusual thing, by the way, this de
partmentr being in charge of a typical
green Swede she hastened out and was
informed by the girl that Fred had been
teasing Miriam. Returning to the parlor
she was followed by that little miss, wbc
seated herself and regarded her mothei
thoughtfully for a moment, and then
said: "Mamma, Fred he hugged Essie

This is how -most of the big farriers
keep the expensive alone from year to
year. There is one thing that
cannot stand, aad that is low
tore. Suck a temperature will also keep
skins from hardening and furs from
rusting to the end of time.
As for poultry, there is no telling how
long it can be kept in prime eating con
dition. Mr. F. W. Conklin, of the firm
of F. C Linde at Co., of the Hudson
River stores, told a reporter that they
have a few thousand dollars' worth of
poultry which has been in their keeping
for more than two years. This particu
lar consignment became the subject of
litigation shortly after it was placed
there, and there it must remain until it
becomes settled who ia the owner.'
Eggs are also kept for an indefinite
peiiod in these storage warehouses by
lowering the temperature of the room to
a few iIislisiii above fzeeaaaav It is
claimed that they can be kept in tins-
way just as fresh aa when they are first
hud, but this is a matter which admits
of some doubtrat least, most everybody,
including the keepers of "cold storages,"
would prefer their eggs direct from the
hen coop.
TBI KASOkST to KSSP.
The hardest things to keep are water
melons, strawberries in fact all berries
and peaches. The storages axe seldom
called upon to hold these things more
than a day or two at a time. Strawber
ries, however, have been kept for over
six weeks after their season ended. Mr.
Conklin had a lot for more than a month,
and he haa expressed the opinion that if
they could be placed one by one upon a
rack in an evea temperature, so that a
current of air could always circle around
them, they could be preserved an entire
year.
The same method, he tiiiaks, would be
equally sufficient in keeping watermel
ons, but an editor in this town tried this,
but without aay satisfactory result. He
wrapped adonen melons in cotton, and
toward theendof the season placed them
in a general storage house, being careful
to spread them apart. The season had
hardly opened when he received word
that hia watermelons were rotting. He
did not go after them, though, until the
first of December, and those mesons were
then very poor eating, indeed.
Originally they cost $2, but the storage
cost 18, ao the owner was out $8 by the
experiment, and he had no melon to eat
either. c

bt Mat Grave.
Old timers of EI Paso county will re
call the lolling of William Campbell on
the Campbell ranch, sixteen miles south
of tins city. Mr. Campbell was buried
in a grave on the ranch, and his remains
have lain there undisturbed ever since.
The Santa Fe track has been laid near
the grave, and the widow feared its ulti
mate despoliation by side tracks. When
the remains were taken np, and until
exposed to the air, they were as perfect
as at the time of burial, and, strange to
relate, though the deceased was clean
shaven at the time, his beard had grown
to his waist, and the hair of his head Bad
grown luxuriantly and covered hia shoul

grave just twenty-five years and nine
months. Colorado Springs Republic.
M. Topinard has been making a statis
tical inqairy into the colors of the eyes
and hair in France, and from his 180,000
observations he deduces many interest
ing reauItB. one of the most curious being
that where the race is formed from a
mixture of blondes and brunettes the
hereditary blonde coloring comes out in
the eyes and the brunette element reap
pear.! in the hair. To thu tendency prob
ably is to be attributed the rarity of a
combination of light hair with dark eyes.
Several observers have asserted thatthe
America people, who are pre-eminently
a mixed race, are becominga dark haired
and blue eyed nation, and if this be true
such a development must be owing to
the working of the law formulated by

Grog consists of a mixture of water
aru whisky. I expect, therefore, to find
three seta of qualities in grog, one set
due to the water, another to the whisky,
ami another to the mixture of the two.
Owing to the presence of whisky, I
should expect to find the color darker
and the flavor stronger than water.
Owing to the water, I should expect the
color lighter and the flavor weaker than

able to drink a certain quantity of it
more than I could of pure whisky, but
less thaa I could of pure water. Dr.

Quite an idea upon the plan and pur
pose of fishing- came to light at Vienna
last week, when a fellow went fihiqg
down on Gum creek. After selecting a
nice, shady place and a comfortable seat,
he threw his hook into the stream and
took from hia pocket anewspaperand
was soon lost in its columns. Directly
his cork began to bobble, thea a strong
paE from the water caused the cork to go
clear under the water. Deliberately lay
ing his paper aside, he picked up his pole
and, as he began to wind up Ins line, re
marked that a man couldn't fish in peace
