If there IB one thine that a railroad em
ploye bollcvca In more thin another It li
luck. No nutter how cle.itly a practical
man may analyze a certain old occurrence ,
rulatca the Olobe-Detnocrut , they will du
biously shako their heads and contend that
It W.IH a case of luck , good or bid , pure and
almplc.
far Instance , If cno of their number had
been ordered out on a. certain train and
through nlckut'sa had failed to report and the
man taking hla place had been killed , tUoy
will , ono and all , umpliatlcally decliro It was
a casu of lucky sickness for the man that
was compelled to remain at home. They tall
to ACO the fact that the suhstltutu proved
negligent In his duty end had the regular
man been In his placu It was 100 to 1
clnnci that the accident would not have oc
curred.
It In , howovcr , an undeniable fact that
there are more strange and weird occtir-
rcnccn taking place dally In the railroad
service than In any other branch ot em
ployment. The ponderous rolling stock , the
swift Illght through the country over spider-
like bridges , under the earth through long ,
dismal tunnels , and In weather varying
from the pleasant to the most trying , all
tend In the direction of beliefs almost supcr-
natuial. Tlien again , train tiervlce Is not
the Iclcd that calls so much for brain as
physical equipment. The clement of chance
does , to a certain extent , cuter Into the
ovory-day service of trainmen , and that they
should be superstitious U only following
natural lines.
FLIGHT OK A CADOOSR.
It li occurrences like tha following , the
details of which recently came from Har.lo-
ton , I'a. , that lead a color of subntancc tea
a trainman's belief In luck. When coming
Into the yard at Wratherly , a small station
near Hazlcton , with his traloi.i Conductor
John McHugh told onu of liln brakemcn to
cut the caboose loose at the lower end of
the siding , and let the engine take the train
to n. point near the western end. McHugh
had then been on the rnad constantly for
twenty hours , and hU eyes were heavy for
lack of sleep.
As ordered , tno brakcmnn a few minutes
later pulled the pin holding the caboose , and ,
supiioolng that the conductor would take care
of the car , continued up the track with the
remainder of the train. The brakeman
noticed later , however , that the caboose hnd
nin out on the main line again , and that
McHugh had iiot appeared on the platform.
The ro < xd ut that point Is marked by a grade
which drops fifty feet to the mlle and to
cot.cli the caboose was Impossible.
Taking In the situation at a glance , the
trainman hastened to the telegraph ofllco and
messages wore sent to the different stations
below to either sidetrack or derail the run
away cabcose. It was not known whether
the conductor w s on It or not. The operator
at Illack Crock reported the car by his sta
tion nnd the man at I'cnn Haven was barely
rotined when the runaway shot by the win
dow of his olllce.
Down the mountainside the car rushed with
the rapidity of lightning , while within It sat
Conductor McHugh fast asleep and oblivious
to the danger his nap was Incurring. For
tunately there were no westbound trains
started out of PackliiRton and the Immense
distance allowed time for the operator to set
the switches and run the car up the safety
track. Other trainmen wore distributed along
the graded track , and , as the speed of the
runaway caboose decreased as It climbed the
Mil side , ono of them waa enabled to board
It and apply the brake before It reached the
obstruction at the end.
When the car was brought to a standstill
McHugh was found on the bench Inside , sit
ting bolt upright and sound asleep. Wl n
aroused and told of the pcillous ride he hud
had ho refused to believe It and only after
looking in vain for his train did ho como to
n eense of the situation , There were a
hundred and one chances for that car to
either jump the track or crash Into another
train and kill" the sleeping McHugh , but ho
GUI ccrtnlnly bo classed with the ones born
under a lucky star.
LUC1C ON TUB ROAD.
A representative of the Globe-Democrat hap
pened In at the headquarters of the Baltimore
/i Ohio railroad In Washington and came
across half a dozen engineers and conductors
of that road discussing the question ot luck
in connection with their employmnet. The
debate was warm , nnd many of the stories
old were given as Illustrations to tubstantl-
nto assertions that It is bolter to be born
lucky than rich. An old engineer , rigged out
In his street duds , ns he called them , was
telling how slight the barrier between life
and death may sometimes be , nnd how his
lucky star permitted him to relate the fol
lowing Htory. He said :
"I was running nt a good rate ot speed
ono day , when as I approached n part of
the road about two miles cast ot Philadel
phia on the the newly built Baltimore &
Ohio road , where there was rather a sharp
curve , and where the roadbed was raised
about forty feet above the turnplko level ,
thu front wheel on tha outward side under
the forward truck of my onglno without the
Hllghtest warning fell art the shaft and rolled
down the civbankment. Instantly all the
wheels under the whole train engine , tender -
dor , baggage ear and several passenger
coacheu worn bumping along over the ties.
"Tho bumping and jolting was , so violent
that no ono cootiltl steady himself prepara
tory to leaping from the cars ; all the pas
sengers could do was to 1iold on for dear
Ilfo and pray. After this Irlghtttil ride had
been continued for about 300 feet wo were
run n Inn fully fifty mllen an hour the re
versed cnglno brought the cars to a stand
still , nobody the worse except for the fright
and the Jolting.
"What do you think saved us ? " asked the
engineer , casting an Inquiring glance around
the group of listeners , all of whom shook
their heads negatively. "Merely a llttlo one-
Inch Iron bolt nut under the pilot. The nut
was brought , when the engine left the rails ,
against the Inner ndo ! ot the outward rail ,
and , acting as a sort of llango , served to keep
the coursu of the pnglno and the earn that
followed forward Instead of outward , It was
all a combination of things not to bo mot
with once In a million times. "
A MAUVKI.OUS KSOAP13.
"Oh , that oxporlonco Is nothing to Toin
Kolley's. the boss of section 17 , out near
Laurel , " chimed 'In a flnu-looklug , middle-
aged man , whoso yoari of experience on the
railroad ua a conductor count up In the
twenties. "Tom was walking ou the eastbound -
bound track ono day last spring , so as to
fuco trains approaching him from that direc
tion , when a wild-eat engtno running back
ward came up behind him and knocked him
down. When Tom fell , ono leg was thrown
across the south rail , whllo tui ! rest ot his
body full between tha rails.
"In tint uu ltlou ho was pushed by the
moving engine a distance of about 00 feet
bdforo ho was seen by a brukeman on a
train going la the opposlto direction on the
ether track. The 'brakeman jelled to the
engineer that they had run over a man , and
the engine was quickly stopped , Kelley then
got out from under the engine and walked
home. Ills only Injuries were bruises about
the arms and hands. Ho was only lir the
house a few days.
"Tom told me that the first punch he got
knocked the breath out of him , 10 that he
couldn't yell to the engineer , but ho kept

llko a drowning man to a plank. He said
that the snow and Ice on the track alouo

"I have only run against one lucky man
In my time. " spoke up a gray-haired and
whiskered engineer ; "but tlie Incident Is
worth talking about. The man 1 refer to

"The fearful novelty of the method he
nclccted for ending hi * Ilfo was a sufficient
Indication of the frenzy to which brooding
over his troubles had driven him. I waa
running on the western division of the Haiti-
moro A Ohio then , and at the time mentioned
was clearing Cincinnati at a forty-mile A
minute call.
LEAP OP A WOUL.D-DK SUIC1DH.
"Tho would-be suicide went out on the
Freeman avenue bridge In that city where
It crosscx the Ilnltlmore & Ohio tracks. After
waiting porno time my train swung Into
night , and ho quickly mounted tha bridge
railing. I saw the fellow , but fiero are no
many curious antics going on About a rail
road that he but ullghlly Interested me and I
let my train speed ahead. Just as we were
dashing under the bridge the poor follow
threw himself head first toward the tracks
below. As I naw him take the plunge my
breath forsook me , as you know , boys It
takes a tough man to kill a human being
without n quiver of remorse.
"Tho poor liuvll Intended to throw himself
In front of the engine , 'nit waked Just a
fraction of a , second too long. Insteid ot
mooting the horrible fate he had ptanncd for
himself , his body struck the convex side
of the englno boiler , glanced off and rolled
Into the mud at the sldo Of the track. Sev
eral bystanders who had seen the nan Inke
the terrible leap rushed to 'tho spot , expect
ing , of course , to find him a crushed nnd
blccdlnic mass. They found , Instead , that ,
though ho was badly bruised nnd his nose
ind face badly lacerated , he had tow bones
liroken , nnd In a few Weeks was fully re
covered ,
"Ho came to see tnt > alterward at the
station In Cincinnati , and after telling me
his troubles , said his experience with my
onglno had completely cured him ot sui
cidal Intentions and that he was going to
brace up and bo a man. That was a lucky
lump for him , for , besides not killing him ,
as It should have done. It knocked some
sense Into his foolish head. "
"That escnpu was almost as lucky as Jim
Walters' , " chimed In another one of the
group. "At the time I speak of Jim was
firing on a through Pennsylvania passenger
run , and , on account ot the heavy traffic , hnd
been working about twenty hours straight.
Of course , he could ntcal little nnps off and
on throughout the run between this city and
Philadelphia , but thu engines are big , the
work hard and ho finally worked himaolf
Into a half-conscious condition.
LEAPED FROM A 'FLYING ' TRIAIN.
"Ho was coming south ou a run that
reaches Washington near midnight and
about an hour earlier than that pulled out
of union station , Baltimore. You all .know
what It Is to get through the big tunnels
up there with a heavy train , and Jim
worked llko a polo horse to kctp up a full
hold of steam. After they cleared the tun-
neli Jim nursed his lire nicely , so as to get a
Mttlo rcat down to the grades near Severn.
"Ho had finished trimming up the coals
and was turning to creep Into the llttlo
resting nook opposite the engineer when ho
lost consciousness. Jim told mo afterward
that ho Imagined ho was homo In his llttlo
sitting room and was about going upstairs
to bed. At the time ho was Inuglnlng him
self opening his bedroom door and was
stepping therein he stepped oft the side of
the cnglno , which waa running fully forty
tnllcs an hour , and had reached about the
worst spot on the Pennsylvania road the
high bridge over Gwynno's Fulls , near the
stock yards.
"At that Hme the gully sides were cov
ered with small trees , and down Jim went
crashing through these Ihto so much pa
per to the bottom , a distance of 100 feet
or more. Ho was picked up unconscious
and with hardly a stitch of clothing on his
back , but not a bono broken. He regained
consciousness In the hospital , opened his
eyes , heaved a deep sigh , turned over on
his side nnd slept for ten hours straight
away. He missed two runs , and then took
his old place , none the worse for his ex
perience. "
"Well , that was a lucky cscapo of Jun s ,
sure enough , " spoke up an Intelligent-look
ing engineer who had Just come In off his
run from Philadelphia , "but Jerry O'Neill ,
the traveling engineer , told me of an ex
perience he had last September while on
his way east from Chicago that will make
you hold your breath , and make you all
more positive in your belief In luck.
"Jerry said he was coming to Washington
on train 'No. fi. the dally Hyer between Chicago
cage and Plttshurg on the Plttsburg &
Western road. The train consisted of a baggage
and a din-
gage ear , five Pullman sleepers
crowded with passengers.

Numerous little delays threw the train be
hind time , and when the accident happened
that 11 am telling of the engluo throttle was
wide open , and the train was running at
fully sixty miles an hour.
OFF AND ON.
"Charley ParkB , Jerry told me , was hand
ling the engine , and from that I knew he
wasn't guessing at the speed. The engine
had Just crossed the Pine Creek bridge when
Charley , Jerry and the fireman were almost
thrown from their seats by a violent Jolt.
To say that the trio was startled Is putting
It mildly.
"Glancing back toward the train , they
discovered the cause ot the Jolt. The tender
and three cars had Jllmpoa the track ou the
' between the
curve and were bounding'about
engine and the rear cars In a frightful man
ner. Charley at once -threw back the lever ,
but the speed ot the heavy train was so
great that n sudden stoppage was Impossible.
"This s'nte of things continued for about
fitly yards , when , with a mighty lurch , that
stopped the breath of the three badly fright
ened men In the engine , the cars plunged
on to the rails again , making the trucks
tremble and creak as they struck the track
of steel. The danger 'Was ' over , but no one ,
except the mea In the engine , knew , or over
will know , what a terrlblb catastrophe was
averted.
"Jerry said ho went back to examine the
rails and road'bed ' after , the train was finally
stopped , vhllo Pants and the trainmen
looked the cars over , Ho found that the
tender and cars had left the ralla Just nt
the end of the bridge , and , striking the ties ,
hud bounded along for a distance of ten
yards , where two deep dents Ic another tlo
showed where they had alighted , Some ten
yards further on there Is a .mill railroad
crossing. The wheels of the tender had
struck the cross rails and had actually split
two of them In pieces. The cars then
'bounded ' Into the air , and the Inside wheels
landed more Hun a foot outsldo of the main
track ; where they ground through the ends
of the tics , reducing them to kindling wood.
"At a second crossing a short distance bo-
yotul the whpcls struck the guard plank
and made the wondertul leap that landed
them ngata on the ralla.
"Hnd the slightest Haw developed In any
one ot the derailed cars , or tender , a
'splinter1 wreck would have occurred , and
thu loss of lifo would have been something
terrible. Jerry told' ' mo ho didn't belloro
there was i rcTHon on that train who was
born In the sign of tho'crab. "

It la doubtful II many ot us realize what
a cheap and easy thing It la to produce
electricity In otir household's without other
apparatus than llm ready at our hands. For
Instance , any person can make a fairly good
electric battery out ot a steel table knife ,
a silver fork and an orange. It has- been
discovered that If a etecl knife and a steel
fork are Inserted In n large orange tint nn
electric current will be generated. If the

perceptible current will be found to paw.
Tbo same kind of n battery can be made
by substituting a cucumber lu place ot the

be used.
Any person may make an electric belt by

In order to make a voltaic pile It Is only
necrenary to procure ten or more pleccu , '

Is Important that a piece ot zinc should been

rent producer which may be made In any
household at a trifling expense. The electric
current Is generated in this case by heat and
anything from a candle to a live coal may be
used to produce the heat. Take a lot ot
German silver and copper vfro and cut It Into
six-Inch lengths. Then take German silver
length and a copper length and twist the
ends together. You will hove a V-ahaped ar

German silver wire nnd twist one end of It
tightly around the copper end ot tho. V.
Continue the process until you have a long

double Vs , arranged with alternate pieces of
copper and German sliver wire.
Now take two large curtain rings. Dend

sumed the position of a star and clamp it
between the two curtain rings. One cud of
the string of wires should be copper and the
other German silver. You will find when
these are clamped between the curtain rings
that the Inner points of the star form a small
circle In the middle of the rings. The rings
should be placed on uprights and a candle
should be lighted , so that the fiamo will play
between the Inner points ot the star. It will
be found when this Is accomplished that
quite a strong electric current will flow from
the two terminals of what now Is a thermo-

calvanometer to detect the current , as It Is
not of a nature that will allow It to be felt
through the hands.

electric spark can bo generated by dragging
the fret harshly over a carpet and then
suddenly pointing the finger at a gas bracket.
The trick may also be performed near any
obtcct which has a direct metal connection
with the earth. In this case static or frlc-
tlonal electricity is generated , and the desire
at the current to reach the ground Is what
causes the sfirk to flow from the finger to
the gas pipe or other ground connection.

The fifteenth anniversary ot the battle of
ot Kl Mollnos del ReyjnW.Ut take place
Wednesday , September j& . | It waa Scott's
flrat attack upon Santa Alia's stronghold ,
outsldo of the city ot tgfWs , and In point
of daring the most brlllJait feat ot arms
during the campaign , flcperal Fltz John
Porter Is the sole survl ltyj ofllcer of the
attacking party. Ho wsBreveted captain
for his gallantry at Milfftis. Five days
later all hln superior officer In the battery
were killed In the attack""oh the gates of
Mexico. Tbo bravery of StlflnB Porter after
his chlef9 had fallen riSujUns ono of the
proudest traditions of ( jflOmcrlcan army.
Hero Is big story of the Jatle [ , told by the
Washington Star In his qwn language :
"I believe I am the last surviving officer
of tbo battle of Mollnos del Rey. Wo lost
nlno officers killed nnd forty-nine wounded ,
nnd these casualties fell principally upon
two brigades and batteries , and a picked
storming party of BOO men. My command
that day was Captain Drum's Fourth artil
lery.
"While the attack was succcrsful. It proved
a barren victory. Still , It was a step In ad
vance , for It taught us tha : we could defeat
the Mexicans on their chosen ground. Wo
had driven Sautii Ana to his last ditch. In
order to defend the City of Mexico he placed
his army outside the suburbs , under cover of
the guns of lofty Chapultepec. Alongside
Chapultepcc was a pile of buildings over COO
feet In length , known as Mollnos del Rey , the
Mllla ot the King. This whole structure was
of red sandstone , with heavy , thick walls ex
tending three or four feet above the roofs.
The courtyards and alleyways between the de
tached buildings were nrovlded with thick
stone doors , guarded by jutolti , or earthen bar
ricades. One of the buildings was "used for
the storage of powder , and It was partly for
the purpose of destroying the magazine and
partly In the hope that the'position ' was a key
to the ensile of Chapulttpec that Scott de
cided to make the attack ;
"Tbo boldness of the attack Is seldom
equaled In warfare. Scott had reached a
point Hi the campaign where he believed that
wo should atop nt no sabrlfieo to drive the
enemy from the stronghold , arid plant our guns
there to command the cltl' Itself. He ordered
General Worth to movo.l o the attack with
his division on the morning of September 8.
The line was formed with Colonel Garland's
brigade upon the right. Our battery , or two
pieces ol' our battery , accompanied Garland.
To the left of us were the : bartering guns , and
a picked storming party , co'nsIaHng of five
; companies of 100 men ach , under Major
George Wright. On our extreme left , opposlto
the Mexican right , was Clark's brigade- , with
Duncan's battery.
THE SIGNAL , FOIl ATTACK.
At daylight the battering guns fired the
signal for attack , and Major Wright's stormIng -
Ing column dashed forward upon the Mex
ican battery In the center of the formidable
line. It was greeted with round and grape
shot. Double qtilckntcp waa ordered nnd the
men passed forward under a crossfire of
musketry , within close range. They tdk
the battery and turned It upon the onemy.
Hut the triumph of the stormers was of short
duration. The Mexicans rallied and con
centrated a close and destructive fire upon
Wright's men from the walls of the aque
duct , which ran along the whole line , from
the housetops nnd stone walls. Out of
twelve officers at the head of the storming
party ten were shot down within five min
utes. The Icea among enlisted men was
terrible. Shaken by this disaster the rem
nant of the storming party was driven back.
"Then our time came. To prevent the
Mexican pursuit in the center upon the de
feated column. Garland's brigade dashed for
ward on the right. Wo kept clc e upon the
heels ot the Infantry with our guns , and
opened flro at 200 yards. While we were
unllmbcrlng n discharge of .Mexican qrapo
disabled several horses , which were cut from
the traces , The guns were then moved forward
by hand. Our first round was nil solid shot.
Then wo pushed the guns forward to within
100 yards of the enemy nnd gave thorn can
ister , enfilading their entire line of guns
where Major Wright's column had charged.
The light battalion then dashed over the
ground where Wright had been repulsed and
seized the guns.
TUB MEXICANS DHIVKN OUT.
"As our line approached the mills we
were stormed nt with grape and canister
and muaketry fire from the roofs of the
buildings. Our Infantry broke thrmu'h the
barricaded gates and doorways of th 'iillls ,
exposed to a heavy fire. Once on the inside
wo found ourselves In the midst of an armed
enemy. When driven from ono position
of the walls the Mexicans would retire to
another , contesting every Inch of the
ground. Only by climbing through roofo
and making our way through Iron-barred
windows could wa go forward. It last wo
cleared the buildings nnd drove the Mexi
cans off toward fhtpultepec. A considerable
force of thorn , however , rallied , and with an
olghtcen-poundor advanced down the road
toward the mills. Captain Drum led us for
ward with ono piece and after a rapid and
effective fire cleared the road. The enemy
abandericd their gun.
"The cannon used In this contest with the
Mexican elghtoen-poundcr , was one of our
six-pounders. Tbcso guns bad a history. At
the battle ol Iliiuna Vista the Mexicans cap
tured them from Taylor. They were then
brought across the coOmry to confront
Scott's army at Crotreras , , whern wo re
captured them , Captain Drum was one of
the first to cuter the enemy's batteries at
Contreran and ho laid his 'liacda ' upon two
six-pounders , wh cb proved to bo the Buena
Vista cannon. They were then asalicned to
us and proved very BervlcciV'0 ' on occasions
llko MolVjos , because we. cpuld move them
rapidly iby hand. They carried well , for I
remember distinctly battering the walls of
the castle of Chapultcpeq-whllo wo were
wilting the result of Major WrUbt's charge
on tbo center. The battle at Mollncu lasted
over two hours , and W2ii.w | ? ll conteatod by
that porllsn of the Muxcan ! nrmy which
fought. Their whole forctt amounted to
probably 10.000 , while fie ifral Worth' * entire -
tire command engaged numtiftre ] only 3.000.
Our lots was US killed aild < VZ1 wrimdnd.
"S ntana had ordered I f-0) cival'y

by the bold advance of Major SumncT with
four companies ot mounted rlflra and dra-

then ranged ibxck nnd forth over the field ,
each time confronting the Mexican cavalry
ail they shitted position , nnd hold Alvarez
In check throughout the battle.
"The Mexican officers tought well. Cap
tain Mr-ndei. whose gun wss opposed to us
when wo entered the mills , was killed by
our canister. The comnipcidor ot the * ' bat
talion of national guards opposed to us ,
Colonel llalder.is , was killed. The ( Ing
bearer ot his battalion , when almost dead ,
wrapped the colors about him , nnd nt last
gave them , saturated with his lltc'8 blood ,
to a comrade. General Leon , who com
manded the troops engaged In the hand-to-
hand defense of the mills , was also killed.
In fact , ono of the best and bravest corps
In Santa Ana's army was almost entirely
destroyed. Resides , the Mexicans lost
Held battery. Wo found the position un
tenable , and soon abandoned It. Hut wo
had rendered It unfit for n second defense.
A largu number of small arms with gun
and musket ammunition were brought off
as wo retreated , also three cannon. Over
800 prisoners were taken , and all of the
extensive building used as a magazine was
blown up , and the ammunition destroyed.
STORMEIIS SAFKR THAN THE STORMED.
"Mollnoa del Rey was a costly battle tor
us , yet It taught us to believe that wo
should win , We saw that tbo Mexicans
were not disciplined. Itwas the begin
ning ot a series of desperate attacks upon
strong positions , heavily manned. There
was no other way to win In Mexico at that
period. Wo were at the gates ot the cap
ital , ceafronlcd by superior forces , nnd must
press on to success or destruction , Ileloro
us lay those lofty heights. Narrow roads
and marshes , blocked by fortifications , sur
rounded us on cither flank , should wo pass
around Chapultepec , Chnpultopec blocked
one road nnd commanded thrco roads at n
distance from It. Its guns also swept the
plain , for It was higher than all the ground
around It. Santa Ana thought that Cha
pultepec could never be taken , and It
couldn't have been taken except by stormIng -
Ing , Just ns wo did that morning at El
Mollnos del Roy. And to bo frank , If I
had to bo cither , I would rather bo where
I was 'with tbo stormcrs , than with the
stormed. The shots ot the latter passed
over our heads , and whllo wo lost fearfully
wo gave better than wo got. The hardest
end of the fight was ours , atid wo won It. "
TOM ) oirr OF COUHT.
A. S. Mason was before Judge Edson of
Duluth charged with carrying a concealed
weapon. According to Mason's story he was
taking the weapon , a revolver , home to be
cleaned. Ho started with It In his hand , but ,
seeing Officer McLennan approaching , he
thought he had better put It in his pocket ,
and did so. This was just what Mason
should not have done , and It proved his un
doing , and the ofllcer took him In tow.
Mason was very much mortified at being ar-
rastcd , and was anxious lo right himself in
the eyes of the law.
"If you say so , Judge , X'H take this here
gun and throw It In the lake , " bo remarked
to the court.
"What do you think I'd better flue you to
make It even ? " asked the court.
"Well , don't strike mo too bard , Judge ,
that's all I've got to ray , " replied the
prisoner.
"Well , I'll suspend sentence this time , "
said the court. "In future , when you have a
revolver to take home , carry It In your hand ,
wear It on your watch chain or send It home
on a dray. "
They had been convicted of the same
offcnso and they stood up together to get the
sentence. The Judge looked duly aud prop
erly solemn , relates the Boston Post , and
after brlelly recnlling the circumstances of
the crime , dwelt at some length on the fact
that they were equally guilty and should suf
fer the same punishment.
"And so , " he said , "It Is the Judgment of
this court that you be confined In thu peni
tentiary for the rest of your natural lives , "
or words to that effect.
"A Ilfo sentence , " they exclaimed together.
The judge nodded.
"But , say. Judge , " protested the more
youthful"of the two , "I thought you said this
was to bo a square deal. "
"It was my Intention to treat you both
alike , " replied the judge.
"Hut you haven't , " urged the youthful
one. "I'm getting all the worst of this. "
"In what way ? " asked the Judge , with
natural curiosity. "I've given you each the
same sentence. "
"Of course , " admitted the youthful one.
"That la , you think you havo. It sounds the
same , but you ought to know enough about
the general run of things In this world to
know that It Isn't the same. If you had
said , 'Ten years each , ' or anything like that ,
it would have been the same , but Instead of
that you arc putting my life agalinst his. "
"What Is there unfair In that ? "
"Unfair ! " exclaimed the youthful pris
oner. "Why , he's a good twenty years older
than I am. "
"Well , " repeated the prisoner , "do you
need any further explanation ? In the ordi
nary run of things my term of Imprisonment
would be twenty years longer than his , won't
It ? Do you call that an even thing for me ?
Well , I guess not. "
"I hadn't thought of It In that way , " said
the judge , thoughtfully. "What do you
think ought to be done ? "
"Why , sentcinco him to Jail now , of course ,
and let my sentence begin twenty years
later , when I reach his ago. That would
make us start even In the matter. "
In splto of the fact that the judge gave
the matter his earnest consideration , he
could not see it in that light , although he
was qulto ready to admit that the youthful
criminal had the making of a good lawyer
to him if be could only keep out of Jail.
The following Is reported f/om a cross
roads Justice's court In Georgia :
"Now , jedge , " said the wltnera , "I'm about
tcr tell the truth ! "
"Do you mean ter tell me , " said the Jus
tice , "that you've been lyln' these last twit
houm ? "
"Jedge , " replied the witness , "I wuz raised
In yo' settlement , an' both of us has drlnkod
outen the same Jug , but I'm gwlno ter tell
you right now. Ef you call mo a liar I'll
knock you clean off that bench. "
The Justice regarded him sternly for three
minutes and then said :
"John , cf I didn't think that you wti ?
drlnkln' I'd fine you $10 for contempt o'
court ! "

"If Charter Onk Lodge Is In existence In
New York , " said n man from up the stale
to a Now York Sun reporter , "It ought to
have the furniture ot a lodge which was
hold during the war In the field. H was on
Folly Island , S. C. , and 'hurt Its charter and
special dispensation from ! the Grand lodge
ot Indiana. There were In camp on the
Island the Thirteenth Indiana tnfnntry nnd
Ono Hundred and Twelfth and One Hundred
nnd Sixty-ninth New York Infantry. Soon
afterward the First New York Independent
engineers moved down nndithoy built n rustle
Masonic temple. The altar nnd chairs nnd
furniture were mndo of the wood of the
Island , and some of the furniture made of the
natural twist and bend of the wood was
unique. The floor was covered with what Is
known ns pluo needles , and the mosaic car
pet wns a. tent fly , on which squares were
painted. The globes nt the entrance of the
temple were fifteen-Inch mortar shclln , nnd
they rested on two sawcd-off palm trees. I
know that all this furniture was sent lo
Charter Onk Lodge In New York. " When
this wns told a man whose manner and talk
located him from the south , said :
"I was present at a meeting of a Grand
lodge that was held In the woods of Texas.
The floor was the sand. There wns bub ono
globe , nnd that wns the sun. And the
strangest part of all was that the men. who
formed that communlci > Ion were Confeder
ates and Federals. I place the Confederate
first because they were holding the stoclude
In which several thousand Federals were
prisoners. It wns the Red Jllver country.
Wo had a lot of clever Ynnlcai In that stock
ade , and they were nearly 'all Intelligent.
Many were of the first enlistment. It was
funny how the stockade , sentry nnd prisoner ,
built up n brotherhood unlike anything , 1
reckon , that happened during the war.
"One of the prisoners 'wns a long-hnlred
Ynnk who wns noted for playing tricks , lie
wns a sort of mnglclnn nnd used to entertain
the officers of the stockade with his perform
ances. One afternoon , nfter he hnd exhibited
his art In handling snakes wo Imd trapped
some for him the commander of the stock
ade asked the Yank If he could tame any
snake , and the Yank Raid he could. The
commander sate } ho would bet-him n dinner
that he couldn't , and the next day was sot
for the trial. All the ofnce.rs.and men not
on duty were there , and the 'Vank appeared ,
stripped to the waist. A big blacksnake
was turned out ot Its captivity. The Yank
had a forked stick. Ho fitted the fork over
that snake. Just back ot Its head , quicker
than I can- tell It , and held the snake In the
sand until ho grabbed It where he had fitted
the stick and then he twirled Mr , Snake In
the air nnd lashed it about until the snake
was tired out. The stockade gave the Yank
the rebel yell , and the commander shook
his hand. As I was the commander's chef
I hnd to prepare the dinner. It consisted of
navy beans , fat slices of salt bacon , hard
tack , two tin cups of whisky and some Iqng
green smoking tobacco for pipes. The din
ner wns served In the shade of the atockado.
"When It wns over that Yank carried away
with him'a pass from the commander. It
created a good deal of gossip for a while , for
It permitted the Ynnk to pass out of the
stockade , without guard , whenever he wanted
to. The only promise ho was asked to make
was to be Inside by sunset. And ho never
failed.
"I must tell you of a trick he played on
some of the guard , and then I will tell you
how he got the pass. Ho was on the outside
ot the stockade one morning when he saw
some of the Johnnies cooking breakfast.
They had eggs. And eggs were n luxury In
those days. The Yank stopped by the mess
and said ho was very fond of eggs. One of
the Johnnies replied. 'You ought to get
some. ' The Yank said ho thought he would
and that the ones he saw would suit. The
Johnnies said they guessed not. The Yank
looked on sullenly as the luxuries were be-
Ins prepared , nnd when they were placed on
the tin the Yank called out : 'I like eggs ! '
und as be said It ho pulled a live snake from
the coffee sack which ho wore for n shirt ,
nnd placed It by the eggs. The Johnnies
scampered away , and the Yank had an egg
breakfast. ,
"Not long after the Incident we were In
formed , those of us who were up In such
matters , that a grand lodge would bo held
In a specified clump of woods , beginning
. I was a.hffih roller n
on a certain day. , a.
my lodge at home , and as I Was close to
the commander of the stockade , who was
away up In Scottish Rite , I 'had Important
functions In the lodge of the wilderness.
Whom should I see most conspicuously
seated on a bee-gum but our Yank snake
charmer ? He was the most efficient man
In his place I ever saw. And our com
mander , who was a Judge , said that ho had
never met a brighter Mason. "I also rec
ognized In that lodge a number of our lank
prisoners. I knew then , how the snake
charmer got his pass. Aud I know why
ho was so often at the commander's quar
ters , nnd why they were so Intimate. That
was the only grand lodge over held out of
doors. . . . ,
"Gentlemen , you couldn't have made mat
stockade fight one another nfter that If Leo
and Grant had gone there in person and or
dered It. I have beard and read a good
many stories about when , nnd where the
war closed. That part of the war that had
been waged In and about tint section of
which I have told you closed when the grand
lodge met. It was In tha last few months
of the struggle , anyway. Hut I remember
when the tlmo came to discharge the Yanks
our commander nnd thnt Yank embraced ,
and , as they turned their lucks on one an
other , each ono put a hand to his eyes.
"A few years ngo I was sitting In the
corridor of the Auditorium hotel In Chicago
watching a fashionable crowd fllo by an en
trance on Its way to the opcrn. I Haw
one man whose hair was llko snow and whoso
evening dress was correct. I asked the clerk
If he know him.
" 'Yes. ' was the reply. 'That's Jo Day ,
one of our regulars , nnd Iho swell tailor
of the city. Rest dressed man in town , alva -
\va > * . Has moro nulls than anybody.
Changes his dress as many times In a day
as his wlfo changes hers. Uut a good fel
low all the fcame. '
" 'Jo Day,1 I said to myself. 'Tim Yank
snake charmer of the rebel stockade on
Red river , and the man who helped to run
the grand lodge In Iho Wilderness ! " '
