' If you think your cousin is a 5001111-
rtrol. young man , why , say the word , if
It s necessary to say anything. It's
ni'-un to shako n man's good name away
with a shako of your head that's what
I think. "
Iko lirennan pushed back' his panama ,
nnd looked with anything but approval
nt L.vrrmn Sneiid loaning , in spotless
ilaniK'ls , against the China troo.
In Hpito of his dripper appearance ho
was not a pleasant.young man to look at.
lie had that uncertain , nervous way , so
Irritating to the honest imd purposeful ,
nnd it st > o 1 written OK his f use th it ho
hal not loved a living soul. No , not
oven the pretty Nona DuvalvhoiK ho
quit Iko to go and meet. IIo thought ho
loved her , but no fooling that possessed
him was a more thoroughly sollish one.
His cousin , DickBurleson , loved Nona
that was quite suilk'iont to make Ly-
nan Snoi'd sure that she was necessary
to his happiness. So ho wont eagerly
now to meet her. Iko watched him up
the street , muttering :
"Of two evils , choose the toast ; out
I've iillors noticed that women , of two
men , choose the worst ; wonder if little
Nona ' 11 do that sumo thing ? Ilor
father rode through many a darned
light by my side calculate I'll take
Bides hero yes , sir. "
IIo rose slowly , lifted his rifle , and
wont trailing up the hot avontio. IIo
was on the look-out for Dick , and very
BOOH found him among a lot of rough
teamsters wtio were loallng in ono of the
principal stores. Dick was reading to
them a New York paper , and hacking
up Ills'own side of some political ques
tion with a good deal of fervor. The
men were pulling their boards and
listening with that true Texas phlegm
which might atany moment turn into
ungovernable passion.
: o waited until the oud oi ono ot
Dick's llowing periods , and then bard :
"Thar , Dick , that'll do for the uusi-
ni'fls of the U-nitod States ; supposing
you eomo now with mo and look after
your own a spell.1
It was so unusual for Ike Brnnnnn to
meddle in any one's utliiirs that Dick
gave instant hood to his invitation ; and
\\itii u final broadside of splendid adjec-
ties for his own party , ho joined Ike ,
and they sat down together in the first
qniot shady sent.
"f.yniiin Sneed is playing the mischief
wi h your gocd name , Dick. It's
against my habit to look after anybody's
but my own ; but I've reasons contrary
tliis time. "
' 'Lynian Sneed ! lid is , is ho ? And
DicU instinctively put ids hand on the
leathern sheath that hold his knife.
"No tools , Dick , of that kind. It's
mo that's making this quarrel , you
know , and I lot nobody do my lighting. "
"What did bo say ? "
"Tliat is It ; ho says nothing that you
can get hold of. Pities his uncle pilies
Nona Duval and is bo sorry you will "
"What ? "
"IIo don't say shrugs his shoulders
and shakos his head , and the shrug and
bhako stand for drinking , gambling , any
thing you like to mnko it. "
" 1'lf tell Lyman Snood "
" \ ou'll say neither good nor bad ,
Dick , L\man is liko.n pine coal if ho
don't burn , ho blackens. Only don't
throw your chances away for Lyman to
pick upthat is just what ho wants you
to do ; give in a bit to the old man ; ho
thinks all creation of you , and if you
won't try to please him , why , " Lvmaii
"tail , that's all. "
' I'm not going to take my polities and
my opinions from Unelo Jaek Hurloson ,
no , not for all his hog wallow prairie ,
and his cattle and gold thrown in. "
"Uo Is an old man , Dick. Life IB a
country .Iuek Hurloson lias gone pretty
thoroughly ever ; stands to reason ho
knows inoro'n you. "
"lie contradicts mo half the time for
the very sake of a lltrht. IIo does not
go into court now , and ho hasn't any
lawyers or juries to bully. Hut ho won t
make Dick Hurloson nay black Is white
to please him ; you hot ho won't. "
"Dick you arc right ; darned if you
aren't ! Untold .lack Is wise and good ,
and knows a sight moro'n than is writ
in books. Say 'yes' when you can. "
"Suro. "
"And don't you rnodtllo with rny
lights , Pick. If Lyman Snood needs a
hiding , I know just how much will bo
good for him. "
Dick saw the conversation was ever ,
nnd , looking at his watol ) , saw , that he
was behind olllcu hours. As it hap
pened , a number of trlllcs had already
irritated the old lawyer , and Lymnn s
lifted uyobrows and ostentatious dili
gence irritated Dick. IIo Hung his
books upon Ills desk , dashed his hut in a
corner , and lifted his foot to a comfort
able attitude. His big boots and loose
llannel hunting shirt gave his uncle
great ollonso , and he said so
? Dick replied that "ho had boon talk
ing with the Lavacca teamsters and had
forgot to dross , "
"Lavaoca teamsters. Indeed ! I don't
BOO what on mirth makes you run after
every drove that comes to town. "
"I was getting their votes for my side ,
uncle , rind making friends against the
day I want their votou for myself. "
A Dusk ot kcou pleasure shot into the
old man's eyes , but ho was fur too full of
light to abandon the dispute. , . Ho llrst
attacked Dick's politics , then his per-
soiuil appearance and abilities without
belli ; , ' conscious how provoking ho was.
One bittct- word followed another till
all three inoti wore on their foot , ami
Lyinnn , wltli a 'littlo pcroam , had
rushed between hid undo and his
cousin. Dick laughed unrourlously at
the intorvontlon , and kicking it out Of
hia way , said :
' " I'm going to
"Oood-byo , undo ; not
qttnvel any mot'ovith you. The world
IB biff enough , I reckon , for both of us
and for our opinions. "
Ho wont straight to Iko , who was sit-
tiiij' J1at | > wlioro lie loft him , and said :
"Iko , toll undo , In n couple of days ,
th.it I Intvo gone west , and that llioro's
no 111 blood between us ; and , Iko , w.iteh
Noun for mu until I can come after hoi1. "
"You ni'o bound to go , then ? "
"Yos ; tlio old man is llro and I am
gunpowder. Wo are bettor apart that
Fnall. "
' Go 'long , then ; I'll w.ttch what you
leave behind. "
Diok foil untmppy enough at leaving
Nona. She Hvod alone with her fatlior ,
and ho was not always tlio bust of pro-
lectors. Dick spoilt the rest of the day
by her side , and loft town in thf cool oi
the availing in no very despondent
mood. Nona had promised everything
ho asked of her , and all tlio rest boomed
possible.
Ho had some land and cattle on the
San Marcos , and ho propo-od putting up
a prottj hoiibo there gradually , mainly
with his own hands. In two years ho
would soil Homo of his increase , furnish
it , marry Nona , turn gr.i/ior and run for
the logislutiiic. When ho went back ho
would "make it all right with his undo ,
and being so far ap.irt. they could keep
right : and if notaiKl ho lost hib share of
Jack Liurlcson's estate , made money
was bjttor than given money , anyway.
For a weolc after Dick s departure the
old ijuin hoped against hope , but one
day when Ike Uronnan carelessly abkod :
" \Vhcn is Dick coining bade from the
west ? ' ' then ho know the lad hud gone
to shift for himself , and lonely as It loft
him , he thorougnly liked Dick for do
ing it. After this IKO and the judge
spoilt much time logathor. They kept
up a perpetual quarrel , but they were
well matched , and after a year's disput
ing the victory on every single point
wab a disputed one. Sometimes , at the
end of a long argument , and a long silence -
lenco , the judge would say : "Have you
heard anything ? " and then Iko , shak
ing his head , and shaking the ashes
from his pipe , would rise and go away.
Early in the second yeartho judge had
an accident that completely invalided
him , and after some monlh's decline , ho
quietly p.isbcd away. Singularly enough
there was no will" found and Lyinnn
Snood took possession of everything. No
Dick appeared to dispute his claim. Iko
smoked away in his old , bhauy corner ,
and smiled queerly to himself when ho
saw how diligently Lyman began to im
prove the cit.v lots and how cleverly ho
collected and invested the outstanding
accounts of the estate.
In all tilings but ono Lymii'i's fortune
prospered Nona still refused his atten
tions. Cut as soon : is the judge was
dead ho began to use stronger means of
persuasion. Nona's father owed him a
largo .sum and their homo was mort
gaged for its payment. layman soon lot
father and daughter see on what torins
only the Duval place could be savedand
the father cared too much for his own
indulgence not to press with all his pow
er so desirable a motoou. of clearing oil
his liabilities.
Nothing of this plan , however , came
to IkoV knowledge until ono night old
Duval , in a lit of maudlin intoxication ,
revealed it. Then ho wont homo full of
anxiety. Ho had no money that would
touch Nona's noons , and ho had not yet
heard anything from Dick.
"I'd give twenty of my best cows to
know if tlio fellow is dead or alive , " lie
said , as ho pushed open the lutchloss
door of his log cabin. A man was sit
ting in his own chair fast asleep.
"Dick at last ! ' '
Ono bonl wakes another , and Dick
opened his eyes wide and answered :
' Hero I am , Iko ! "
"You tormenting joungstor , whore
have you boonV"
"Kvorywhore , Iko , and p'colons little
luck either. At last I went to Yuba
and Nevada , and tried haul to make my
p'lo. Two months ago .Jim Harrison
strayed up there and told mo undo was
dead , and Nona going to marry Lyni'in
Sneed. I couldn't stand that , "and so I
came along with what I had- "
"How much ? "
' 'Only eight thousand dollars. "
"That's enough. I guess you'll find
yourself richer than you think. "
The next morning , Nona Duval com
pletely ama/.od Lyman Sneed by enter
ing his ollico accompanied by Iko
Hronnan and paying in full every claim
ho had on the Duval place. But ho was
still more ama/.od by tlio olllcial notice
to meet , next day , the heirs of Jack
Hurlohon and hear his will read. IIo
found at the place appointed Dick Hurl-
oson , Nona Duval , Ike Bronnaii , and
three of the principal citi/.ons of the
place. Tlio will , leaving nearly every
thing to Dick , was without a Haw.
uymun simply received one hundred
dollars for every month during which ho
had tnKon care of the estate.
"He took very good care of It , gentlemen -
men , ' ' said Iko'just as good care as if
ho thought Dick would never come back.
Ho lias earned his money , you bet , Hut
I'm glad my watch is over very. 1

thing , between a pretty woman and a

' Talking of raising church debts , " the ninn
who had been every whore said to the poker
editor of the Buffalo Express. "I cleared una
debt for n church in Uo.ulwooil once in spile
of myself. "
"Yes ! "
"It happened tills way : I had bjen playing
poker the night before In great luck. Came
Out u cool ? 10,000 winner. Thou a kind of ro-
mono came ever me , and I made up my mind
It would bo a good tlmo to reform. 1 resolved
to quit poker and bo respcctablo.and I thought
a good way to begin would bo by going to
church. So I tlxed myself up uad walked
Into ttio biggest church in the place. My In
tentions were really good , but I hadn't slept
any that night.
"Tho sermon was rather prosy and I wont
to sleep After the sermon the parson ex
plained that the church wa a lUtlo in debt

to know where I was the whole congiegatlon

Herbert Durnnd , general advertising agon
of the Wabash road , tells a irood sleeping car
story in the St. Louis Republic. He was run
ning over a Wisconsin road last week when
a fussy old maid blundotod into the wrong
toilet room at an early hour , screamed with
dismay and demanded In a shrill voice-
"Porter , isn't there a special room In this
car for women ! "
"Yes , ma'in , t'other end of the cir , ina'm ;
como this wav , mti'm , " replied the African ,
as ho led the frightened spinster down the
aisle , while lipplos of suppressed laughter
broke out trom behind the curtains.
A few raiuutOi later Mr. Uuraiul entered
the toilet room only to llnd two pretty dudes ,
with silken snshos and lawn shirts in posses
sion of the washstaml He waited while ono
of the little darlings opened his grip and took
out perfumery bottles , brushes and powder
puffs , while the other ono frowned and grum
bled because the nickel plated basins were
"horiiblo nawsty , you know" The dudes
took n long , long tune at their ablutions ,
while Duraml waited and other passengers
moio impatient than ho gathered behind him
and murmured at the delay. Presently re
lief came ; a great big unshaved cHl/ou ap
peared in the doorway with trailing "gal
luses" and eyes full of sleep , ho waited Just
one minute , and then , taking in the situa
tion , bawled out In thunder tones :
"Siiy , porter , ain't there a special room in
this car for men. "
Cverjono hnd heard the maiden lady's
shrill demand , and roaring with laughter the
men hustled the pretty boys out of the toilet
room.
The New York Tribune tells how Rallroid
Commissioner Hagan of Texas happened to
oecomo n citi/en of that state. Mr. Keagau
was born in Tennessee and it appears that
ono day ho wont to mill with a grist to be
ground , and , after waiting In line until his
turn came , ho was rudely addressed by a man
who proposed to stop in ahead of him , and
threatened to throw him out of the window
unless Uo would \lold his place. Mr Kcacan ,
the story gee * , like all the rest of the people
la the nlgtiborhoo'J , was more or loss terror
ized oy this desperado , and in fear of his lilo
lustioil for him , butted him in the stomach
with his head , ami literally lilted him olT his
foot and Hung him through the window.
When the desperado disappeared the consequence
quence of his rash act Hashed upon young
Keagnn's mind. Ho instantly supposed that
ho had killed a man , that tie would bo ti.mucd
for it , and , scared almost to death , he rushed
down stairs , unhitched his uoru and lit out
across the country for Texas , The man was
not killed , but got a good shaking up. Ho
soon moved to Toxiis , and was a friend to
Koagau In after life.
Chancellor L. .leaks , the mlllioaairo real
estate man , says the Chicago Herald , has
largo interests in southern Cillfornla and
makes frequent trips to and from the Golden
state. The last time ho went out lie took the
Southern Pacific railway. Ono morning the
train stopped for broaicfnst at a station in the
middle of the desert. The depot was the
only building to bo scon , nnd tno icstaurnnt
was next door to the ticket oftico. The lloor-
walkcr in charge of the arrangements was
hat the Browning club people call a "dead
tough mug. " IIo was in his shirtsleeves and
tobacco Juice was sprinkled liberally ever his
front. Mr Jenks , who is no longer young ,
was suffering from the heat iiul hadn't much
appetite , and when the girl came to take his
order ho said he guessed ho wouldn't ' have
anything but n glass of milk. The girl opened
hoi1 eyes wide and , beckoning to the lloor-
walker , said in an audible undertone :
"Sav , Jim , his whiskers wants a glass of
iced milk. "
"Iced milk ! " lie roared , "iced milk ! Good
Lord , cully , wo haul our water Irom El Paso.
Uo you think wo pick cows oIT the Cactus
plants ! Give him n cup of coffee. "
A social philosopher in the Boston Trau-
scrlptsays that there is a kind of freemason
ry in boards. A man with a long bo ml al
ways makes the acquaintance of other men
with long boards. Their boards are the only
common friend they need , and no man wit h
such a beard will ever suspect ovu of another
man with a long beard. Thousands of dollars
have boon borrowed with nothing butaboard
for security. The acquaintance generally be
gins in the same way.
"A line day , sir , " says ono long boarded
man to the other. ( They liavo boon glancing
at each other for some time In n friendly sort
of way. ) The other makes n casual'ioply
nbout'tho weather.
"Good weather for whiskers to grow"says
the first jocularly.
"That's a fact , " says the otticr. "How
long have yours been growing ! "
"Just seventeen years hint Thanksgiving. "
"Well , I beat you by a year and u half. "
Then they compuro measurements , nnd
from that they get on famously. This is as
good a means of Introduotlon as being very
fat. Did jou ever notice how two fat men
get acquainted , nnd from comparing weights
advance to all sorts of friendly coiilldoncoaf
There is a womin on the west side whose
husband wishes the racoi had boon run in
Hlndoestun Instead of Buffalo , says the Ex-
pioss. She has become uu tnvotor.itu gamb
ler. Yesterday ho came noma to Hud tils
wife discussing the price with u tramp who
wanted to bring in a cord of wood. It scams
that the price hnd boon Hxed at 'M cents.
The husband unseen listened to t'-o conver
sation. "Now,1,1 said the wifo. "let's Hip a
coin to sea whether it shall bo UO coats or ! > U
cants.
The tramp won.
"Now , " said no , growing In the conlldonce
that ho tiail struck a snap , "lot's Hip again to
see whether It shall bo * 1 or ? l.r > 0. "
"Done1 said the woman , too deeply wrapt
in thogambllng spirit to uolico that was a
case of "bonds I win , tails you loso. "
Again the trump won.
At this moment the husband , who was be
ginning to siw a mortgage suspended ever his
house , interposed an objection , to the rcat
displeasure of the tramp

Q , who ouco pruylUod. over a
criminal court down cast , was famous us one
of the most commmlonato men who over sat
upon the bench. His softness of heart , how
ever , did not prevent him from doing his
duty as a Judge.
A man who was convicted of stealing : \
small amount was brought Into court for sen
tence. Ho looked very sad and hopeless nnd
the court was much moved by his coiitrito np-
penraiico ,
2'Ilnve you over been sentenced ' .o im
prisonment ! " the Judge rtsked. .
"Never never ! " exclaimed the prisoner ,
bursting Into tears.
"Don't cry don't cry , " siul Judge Q
coifolingly. "You nro going to bo now ! "
On ono occasion Senator Cullom , then gov
ernor , made a visit to the state penitentiary
nt Chester , in the southern part of the state.
Ono ot the prisoners was serving n life sentence -
tonco for murder. The circumstances of the
homicide wore as follows :
The man had kilted ono of his neighbors In
an affray that was the result of a political
discussion during the war for the union. Ho
had oi'on sent , Hi punishment for his crime ,
to the Jollot penitentiary , from which prison
ho had boon transform ! to the ono at Ches
ter. This prisoner was probably sixty . \cars
of auo at tlio time noted and had been in dur
ance vile for a lonir number of years. Ho
had b.-cii a mist exemplary Inmate of the In
stitution , having uniformly conducted him
self In a manner that had irainod for him tlio
implicit confidence of the prison authorities ,
ami as a mark of this confidence ho had been
placed In charge ol the inside door of the
building. Through this door all who entered
nnd left the place had to pass.
On the oceason of Governor C'ullom's visit ,
having pissed through the outside entrance ,
the governor gave the usual alarm at the In
side door. The prisoner-guard at once opened
the wicket , when Governor Cullom , in a
spirit of pleasantry , made the unnecessary
inquiry :
"Will you lot mo In ! "
In reply the prisoner Instantly unlocked
and throw open the large door , and , bowing
low , said with impressive suavity :
"With pleasure , governor , will you let mo
out1' ;
The storv would bo incomplete if it could
not bo recorded that its sequel occurred with
in a few months aftonvard , when the gov
ernor , having satisfied hlmsulf of the o\eol-
lenro of the prisoner's character and that hts
olTonco had been fully expiated by his long
Imprisonment , granted him nn unconditional
pardon.
She was n nice and pious old lady , says the
Boston Courier , but the pangs of rheumatism
proved well night too much for her foititudo ,
and in a moment of agony she was moved to
dootnro that she wished her rheumatics woie
laid upon the devil rather than upon her.
Her small but lively grandson , who clmneod
to overhear the observation , was very prop
erly shocked , and felt called upon to remon
strate , mildly but tlr.nlv.
"Grandma , " he said with great gravity ,
" 1 do not like to hear you say devil If you
must say something , " ho continued , "you
might say Damascus. Tliat is a blbio word ,
and it says damn and cuss altogether , and no
harm done. "
The old lady received the rebuke with that
mcokni'ss which It la fitting that the old
should show to the youth of the preso-it gen-
01 at ion , and thenceforth when her carnal
heart felt any inclination to cbrso and to
swear she meekly pinnouncod the word
"Damascus , " and undoubtedly derives great
comfort from the oxcrcUu.
A neatly turaol compliment was tint bestowed
stowed by Clurlos B rtram , tlia English
prestidigitator , upon Dr. Walsh , the much-
beloved archbishop of Dublin. Bertram , at
a private seaaco , had taken up a pack of
cards and asked Dr. Walsh to select one.
"Tho card you have drawn , " said the jucglorfi
is the king of hearts. " "No , " replied the
arclibishon , "it is the flvo of clubs. " "Wolf , "
said Bertram , la a touts of assumed astonish
ment , "It is the first time I have ever failed
in that trick. \ \ ould you look at tliut card
again ! " Dr. Walsh assented , and in tlio
pluco of the live of clubs ho behold an ovoi-l
lout portrait of himself. "I wasn't so much
wrong alter all , " remarked Bertram , "for
your grace is the king of hearts in Ireland. "
