As the tender leaea look shyly
From the boughs that long were bar.
Whose dead foliage rustled dryly.
Withered hopes, still clinging there.
Southern winds again are breathing.
Soft reinindera of the charm
That is blossoming Rnl wreathing
Over Jack and Muilie'i farm.
Vh:te the auulit roadway glimmers.
Tiny gfins in myriads gleam;
Neath the briJge of planks there shim

And a water snake is basking,
t'ontidcnt that none will harm;
All nuike free without the asking
There at Jack and Mollie's farm.
Shelterins boughs have spread and height
ened Where the ivy's tresses fall;
Year t-y year its clutch has tightened
As it hugs the old stone wall.
Flowers grow in smiling splendor,
Kor a nidged, tireless arm
Toward these things is kind and tender,
Out at Jack and Mollie's farm.
Jack and M llie. Jack and Mollie,

Radiant stiil and softly blending.

BAD KILL JONES.
"Prifes.-.ional ad men nearly always
conn- tn i ief, :iul their reputations are
usually smut-lied In some unexpected
mid often ludicrous manner," said a
AVesti-rn mine owner to a group of
f rli-uds.
' I was wurkin'a claim at a mining
rami, in the Hlac-k Hills In 1S7D, when
u professional bad man from tbe liend
waters of Hitter Creek came along, put
clown stakes, ami prm-eded to make It
lnt: i ! iu; for every one around, es-j.i-cially
the few temlerfeet who bad
n..t been Ions in the West. Our bad
ii was a bitf. strapping fellow more
than six fii't tall, with a face that
vi.uM .uiiviit hiia before any Uitelli-Ki-i.t
jury.
' lie hailed from somewhere In Mis
souri ana s:i:d mat His name was ism i
Join s. He also let it lie kuown that ho
im fi it. .1 to he called Had Bill Jones,
as that was the title lie had earned by
whiip:u every lighting man in four
townships lull k hi the States. Joiie
i i'l. lirnii-il his arrival in enmp by clean- I
lu out I he only saloon In the place at !
that t:m. He carried a six-shooter In
every "i hi t and a Uo'.vle knife in his j
l.oollr.'. i
"The fellow knew how to shoot;
there was no mistake about that. He
miirehed into the saloon the nijjht of
his arrival and ordered the bartender
to -t up drinks for the crowd. When
the man at the bar ili'iminilel to see
the color of his money ill advance.
Join s let out an Indian war-whoop ami
promptly shot out all the lights iu the
place, after he had perforated two or
thne hats and broken the necks off a
few Lotties with bullets.
Some or' tin- miners present got un
der the only table in the place and the
other-, i-s. aped by a side door. Joues
helped himself to all the whisky he
could drink, then went out and inarch
ed up and down the main street of th?
camp for an hour, tiring off his pistols
Hint yelling fur some one to come out
and ti'ht iii in. Some of tbe boys were
disposed to oblige him, but the bad loan
was then an unknown quantity, he bad
demonstrated that he could shoot, and
wiser counsel prevailed.
"This one night's performance estab
lishisi the reputation of the man, and
for a time he had bis own way. The
fellow knew little or nothing about
milling and failed to stilly pay dirt.
In fact, he spent most of his time loaf
Iju about the fsiloo'.i, lookiug for a
tight. He was u loud talker, and at
swearing he could beat any dozen men
In the camp. We soon found that he
was a bully and a di-ad beat. He would
borrow money from the boys who were
tlush, and never repay them. He was
careful, however, to obtain loans only
from men w ho were afraid of him, and
for that reason would not press him for
payment.
'Tor a month Jones was not Inter
rupted In bis career of chief bad man
of the camp. Long before the end of
that time he was thoroughly disliked
by every one In the place, but as he
had not kill's! any one, nobody re
quester! him to move on. One reason
why he succei'dod so well In the role
he had set out to play was that every
other man in the place was too much
ovupled In the scramble for gold to
pay much attention to him. Tbe Im
pression that Jones was at heart a
coward was gaining ground, but as he
kept In constant practice with his pis
tols no oiirt voluuteered to put his coun
age to the test.
Sueli was the state of affairs when
one day the wagon train from the near
est town brought to camp the oddost
specimen of tbe tenderfoot I ever saw.
The newcomer was tall, but as thin as
a rail, with a hatchet-like face, and
pale, watery eyes. He was dressed In
an outlandish rig, no garment of which
enme anywhere nenr a fit. A worn
slouch hat, with a hole on the top, cov
ered his head, and was pulled down tc
the eyebrows In front.
The only baggage carried hy the
new arrival was a small bundle done
tip In a piece of faded blue cloth. The
fellow had lost two front teeth, and a
third one, long nd yellow, protruded
beyond the lips. On his chin there was
n large black wnrt and a smaller one on
the nose.
"The odd-looking tenderfoot climbed
down from the wagon iu a clumsy,
hesitating way, and stood around for
several liiinuies without speaking a
word. Finally, he stepped up to the
storekei p. r. and, la a harsh, piping?
voice, asked:

aroused. The stranger finally walked
across the street, and selecting a place
from which he could command a view
of the front door of the saloon, sat
down on the ground, and opening his
bundle took out a large piece of ginger
bread, and began to eat.
"Word was Quickly passed around
that there was a mysterious-looking
stranger in camp looking for Bad Bill
Ji ties, and the boys began to gather at
the saloon In anticipation of fun of
some kind. No one went near the
stranger or made any attempt to learn
his naiive or 1:1s business with the bad
man. They .now thev would not have
! long to wait for developments, and the
sympathy of the entire crowd was wltb

usual signal to let the boys know that
he was in camp.
"Kvery one made a rush for the

"Once in theystreet, Jones ran for all
he was worth, but be wore heavy cow

one. The stranger overtook him a block
away, and, getting a good grip and

"'Now, there ain't a bit of fight in

too lazy to fight or to work, but be

twice before, but I always brought him
back. When I heard that be was up

"The answer of William was drowned

Alone In London.
An American clergyman whose
dream It had been to visit England
crossed the ocean at last for a ten
weeks' vacation. For a fortnight he
enjoyed going about alone from place
to place, seeing the sights, but he soon
became lonely, and then homesick. One
Saturday morning he started out on a
long walk, having no plan for tbe
morning's recreation. He penetrated
far into the wide reaches of the East
End. There were crowds of men.
women and children wherever he went,
but not a face that he had ever seeu
before or would ever see again.
Turning from the busier streets, be
found a narrow lane, and sat down on
the stone step of a dreary tenement
house. While he was sitting there, be
heard a child's sobbing voice from the
open hallway behind nlm. Looking
around, he saw a little urchin crying
aa though his heart would break.
'What Is the matter, my little fel
low?" asked the clergyman. La his gen
tlost tone.
'Homesick, sir,' said the child;
"since mother died I have no home. . I
don't seem to belong to anybody. I
want some one to talk to."
'Well, lad, there are two of us. I am
very lonely, too.'
"But haven't you a home anywhere?"
"Tea, but It is a long way off, across
the sea."
'Why don't you go back to It? If I
only had a borne, I would never leave
It,"
Tbe lonely minister, who bad found
his vacation In the awful solitude of
London unutterably depressing, did not
have an answer ready. But his heart
went out to the homeless little waif.
He took the child out of the empty
house, obtained decent clotbes for him
at a charitable Institution, paid board
for him at a lodging house, and Anally
carried him to America at tbe end of
tbe vacation..

Charles Lamb's whimsical division of
mankind into two classes, the borrow

A reporter recently called at this famous
eat of learning and was ahown Into the
room of the President, Prof. Alvin P. Bar
aaby. When last seen by the reporter Prof.
Barnaby was In delicate health. To-day he
was apparently in the best of health. In
response to an Inquiry the professor said:
"Oh, yes, I am much better than for some
Ime. I am now in perfect health; bat my
recovery was brought about in rather a po
;uliar way."
"Tell me about it," said the reporter.
"Well, to begin at the beginning," said
the professor. "I studied too hard when at
lohool, endeavoring to educate myself for
he professions. After completing the com
mon o-jurse I came here, and graduated
from the theological course. I entered tbo
ministry, and accepted the charge of a
United Brethren Church at a small place In
Kent County, Mich. Being of an ambitious
nature, I applied myself diligently to my
work and studies. In time I aottoed that
my health was failing. My trouble was In
digestion, and this with other troubles
brought on nervousness
'My physician prescribed for me tor
iome time, and advised me to take a
change of climate. I did as he requested
and was some improved. Soon after, I
cams here as professor in physics and
chemistry, and later was financial agent of
bis college. The change agreed with me,
nod for awiiilo my health was better, but
toy duties were heavy, and again I found
my trouble returning. This time It was
more severe, and in the winter I became
completely prostrated. I tried various
medicines and different physicians. Finally,
t was able to return to my duties. Last
spring I was elected President of tbe col
lego. Again I had considerable work, and
the troublo, which had not been entirely
cured, began to affect me, and last fall I
collapsed. I had different doctors, but
none did me any good. Professor Bowman,
who is professor of natural science, told
me of his experience with Dr. Williams'
Pink l'iils for Pole People and urged me to
give them a trial, because they had bene
fited him In a similar case, and I concluded
to try them.
"Tito first box helped me, and tho second
gave great relief, such as I never had ex
perienced from the treatmeut of any physi
cian. After using six boxes of tbe medi
oine I was entirely cured. To-day I am
perfectly well. 1 feel better and stronger
than for years. I certainly recommend
this medicine."

A Paron'a Tame Leopard.
Of all the cat tribe leopards are the
rtishit to tame and teach If they are
captured while young. When these
creatures are' old their savage htiblta
have liecome fixed, and it is almost In
possible then to tame them.
Thirty years ago a curious and well
known sight on the streets of Berlin
was Von der Madliern with his tame
leopard, says Our Animal Friends. Bar
on von der Madliern, when a young
man, was for several years German
consul in Egypt. While there an Arab
friend presented bim with a young
leopard. It was ouly a few days old.
Its eyes not yet open. The young baron
determined to make a pet of the loop
ard and treat It like a dog.
The leopard was never confined In a
cage, but was always allowed full lib
erty, and was well fed and petted. He
slept on a comfortable rug in bis mas
ter's room, and if the nlgbt was .-old
crept upon bis master's bed and shared
It wltb bim. Through tbe day, in doors
and out, be followed Von der Madliern
about like a faithful dog and displayed
a dog's affection for his master.
He grew by and by Into a handsome
creature, one of the largest of bis spe
cies, and finely marked. When be bad
been In Von der Madliern's possession
about two years the baron was recalled
to Berlin, and took the animal back
with bim. In Berlin tbe leopard occu
pied the same place In bis master's
house that he had done before, and
followed the baron about tbe streets In
the same way.
At first tbe sight of the savage crea
ture stalking solemnly along beside the
man created quite a sensation In the
city, and people crowded to see bim
pass. But It grew to be an overyday
matter, which only attracted notice
from strangers or children.
"There go the baron and bis leopard,"
they would say, and that was all. Old
Berlin residents still remember the
leopard, and speak of it even now.
The animal lived to be about 15 ream
old, and died much lamented by all
who knew nlm.

Blessed is the man who knows how
little he knows of other people's busi

from the crown.

. . The Superstitious Mountains loom up
froiat tbe arid desert to fie east of tbe
Salt River Valley, On the crest of this
unique range, and in full view of the
rarefied atmosphere for an immense dis
tance from tbe plain, are hundreds of
queer figures, representing" men In all
attitudes. When you look first you are
sure they are men, and a second glance
confirms the Impression. They sap re
sent ball throwers, outlooks, mere view
ers of tbo country roundabout, men re
cumbent and contemplate, others start
Ins; on a foot race, and In every con
ceivable posture and position. They
are not real flesh and blood, however
nothing but atone alenlte yet It Is im
possible to convince the Indians, and
some white men, that they are not gen
uine. They aay they are real mortals
turned to stone, petrified by the pecu
liar condition of the air on the moun
tains. Tbe Indians will have nothing
to do wltb tbe mountains. Their belief
has grown out of an Apache legend
banded down for hundreds of years.
They have it that an ancient chief, who
had learned of tbe curious character
of tbe Superstitious Mountains, for
bade any of his people to go there. A
large band, however, one day discov
ered a way to get in by a precipitous
route, and finally reached the top. It
resulted as the chief had said they
never got down alive.

Ancient Caricature.
The ancients differed from us In
many respects, but It is gratifying to
know that they laughed at each other
for precisely the same reasons and took
the same fiendish delight in ridicule
that we do. Away back In the year
79 A. D., on the twenty-third of Au
gust, occurred the eruption of Vesuvi
us, which buried not only Italian cit
ies, but antiquity Itself, and by this
act preserved it for our instruction in
after-time. In disinterred Pompeii the
past In all Its glory stands revealed,
and In childish surprise we learn bow
very much like us were the people of
those days. Come with me for a stroll
down the streets of that vain city, and
I will show you the drug-store with a
Ikx of pills on the counter ready to be
wrapped up when the proprietor beard
the warning thunder and fled; the bak
er's shop, with a loaf of bread stamp
ed with the maker's name.. Here is
a studio strewn with blocks of mar
ble, unfinished statues, mallets, chis
els, etc.; turning the corner, we come
to a building which is supposed to have
been the Human garrison. Tbe sign,
Tost no Kills" was conceived In the
mind of a "seventy-nlner," for the
walls are covered with comic chalk
Ira wings In red, white and black, prin
cipally red; my authority fails to state
'.f It Is the popular shade, cerise. These
.rude attempts at caricature In wall
.halklngs were clearly legible fifty
rears after exposure. If the Idlers and
loafers took delight In chalking cari
catures on public property it Is not sur
prlsl'a? that the artists of the day
caught the fever of burlesque. Comic
scenes from the plays of Terance and
riautus, with the names of tbe char
acters written over them, bave been
found, as well as a large number of
other burlesque scenes, In which
dwarfs, beasts, and birds are engaged
in the ordinary labors of men. The
idea of drawing animals' heads upon
human bodies seems to have been a
Tad with artiats of antiquity, and poor
is it may seem, we cannot criticize too
severely, as it is still done by many
modern caricaturists.

Who Got the Baby?

If you can tell wbo got the baby:
Once upon a time wben all living ani
mals could talk together and under
stand each other, an ugly old crocodile
stole a tiny baby and was about to
make a dinner of It; but the poor fran
tic mother begged so piteously for ber
child tbe crocodile said:
"Tell me one truth and you shall
have your baby again."
"You will not give him back to me."
she replied.
"Then, by our agreement, I keep
him," said the crocodile; "for If you
bave told the truth I am not going to
give him back, and If it is a lie I nave
also won."
But the mother said: "If I told you
the truth you are bound by your prom
ise; and If it Is not the truth It will not
be a lie until you bave given me my
child."

Speaking or tbe cleverness or norses,
a foreign paper tells a most interest
ing story of an American horse:
In the year 1S72, during a skirmish
wltb the Sioux Indians, the Third
United States Cavalry formed an en
campment In a valley on the southern
border of Dakota. At nightfall the
horses were tethered by a .long l.ie
to the ground. Toward daybreak a vio
lent storm of rain and ball burst over
ths valley, wben the terrified animals
broke loose from their fastenings and
tore away up the steep sides of the
valley into the territory of the enemy.
Without horses, at tbe mercy of the
enemy, we would have been lost; yet
it was impossible, in tbe darkness, to
go after them In nn unknown coun
try, probably full of Indians. The
commanding officer, as a last resource,
ordered the stable call to be sounded.
In a few minutes every horse had re
turned to the encampment, and we
were saved.
A Bear that Live In the Water.
Next time you have a chance put
some water from tbe edge of a stand

scope, and perhaps you will see lbat
most interesting little organism known
as the water bear. It Is a diminutive
animal, often found In drinking water,
and looks very much like a bear. The
extraordinary thing, however, about
this tiny creature Is that he Is found in
tbe gutters of houses, where he is at
one time dry as dust and scorched by
the blazing sun, at another active ami
full of life under a refreshing shower
of rain. Tbe water bear bas the sclen-
