HE FOUGHT AT WINCHESTER.
An Old Rebel Soldier Found Warm Friends
When ArraitfiiO'l as a Prisoner.
In the case of The State vs. John
Stuart, indicted for larceny, the pris
oner appeared in the - court room,
shuttling along, scarcely able to walk.
He wore a soiled check shirt, a very
much worn suit, and a buttered hat.
Appearing as State witnesses were
two well-dressed, sleek-looking men
who were determined to seud the old
man to the penitentiary.
"Has the prisoner any counsel?"
asked Judge Phillips.
"I have none," answered Stuart. "I
am a poor man and unable to pay an
attorney."
The Judge saw by the man's looks
that his was an unusual case, and said:
¥ Well, go on and tell your story."
"Well, sir, I was in the Confederate
army, and at the battle of Winchester.
I was shot through both hips. Since
then it has been exceedingly hard for
me to support myself. I went to work
for this man last year upon his word to
board and clothe njo and to pay me
what my services woe worth. During
that time he paid me 10c, with which
I bought tobacco. At the end of eight
mpnths he refused to pay me any
money, and refused to give any clothes,
suying my services were worthless.
Then I went into his wardrobe, took a
suit of clothes to hide my nakedness
and left. He had me indicted for lar
ceny, and I have been in jail ever
since."
As the old man finished a murmur of
indignation was heard throughout the
court room.
"You say you were shot at Winches
ter?" asked Judge Phillips, who was
himself an officer in the splendid and
memorable charge.
"Yes, sir.
"Were you in the second charge to
the left, on the other side of the town ?"
The prisoner's face brightened.
"Yes," he said, "I was there—Rhodes'
division—and was shot while crossing
the ravine just below the hill."
The Judge was certain then that the
old veteran was telling the truth, but
to be certain be called the State's wit
ness.
While this witness was giving in his
testimony, which was that the old
man's story was about right, but that
he refused to pay him anything because
liis services were worthless, Stuart
leaned over to Solicitor Settle. "Mr.
Settle," he said, "your father and I were
friends. I lived in Rockingham county,
and your father persuaded me to enlist
in his company. I received my wound
while following him. Since then it has
been hard for me to keep out of the
poorhouse."
Ry this time Judge Fliillips and So
licitor Settlo and everybody else in the
court room were satisfied that the old
soldier had been pitilessly persecuted,
aud the faces of the onlookers showed
the deepest pity and sympathy for the
unfortunate man aud the blackest in
dignation for his employer.
"Mr. Solicitor," said the Judge,
"change your bill of indictment from
larceny to trespass." This was willingly
done by Mr. Settle,
Now," lie continued, "judgment is
suspended and the prisoner is dis
charged."
Scarcely had the last word been
spoken wlieu every man in the room
applauded, and great tears were roll
ing down the cheeks of strong men. As
the old man, who half an hour before
had been friendless, hobbled out of the
court room, hundreds of men drew
round him to shake his baud. Our
townsman, W. B. Glen, volunteered to
secure him a pension. Mr. Hollyfield
offered liim a position as miller, and in
less than five minutes a purse was
made up to buy the old soldier a suit
of clothes.— Leesburg Mirror.

Keeking Knowledge, Mot Hospitality.
Payson Tucker was in his younger
days a companion of Artemus Ward,
and tells many a good story about
him, savs the Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
Here is one that the railrohd manager
related to ex-Governor Plaisted at the I
Twin Mountain House the other day :
Artemus was out very late one night,
aud came home in a driving snow
storm. The family had retired. Ar
temus went around the house und
threw snow-balls at his brother Cyrus'
window, shouting for him to come
down quickly. Cyrus appeared in
haste, and stood shivering in his night
clothes.
"Why don't you come in, Charles?
The door is open."
"Oh," replied Artemus, "I could
have gotten iu all right. I called you
down because I wanted to ask you ii
you really thought it wrong to keep
slavoH." .
What Mine Host Says.
It is a mistake to suppose that our
register books are open to the public
as a right. It is simply as a matter of
courtesy that we permit any one to
look at them, as wo are not obliged to
show them. If a person calls at the
house in order to see a friend or find
out if he is stopping there, it is his
place to inquire at the office; that is
the only proper way. Our bocks are
always destroyed now as soon as they
are full. Hotel-keepers have been sub
jected to much annoyance by being
frequently ordered to produce them iu
court as evidence in complicated law
suits. In order to avoid so doing we.
always destroy our books, and can say
to the court that we havo ne record of
any such parties as the ones in ques
tion having been at our house at any
time.

COMPOSITE NOVEL WRITING.
One Author's Story Wound Up Suddenly by
Another.
Major Calhoun, one of the most pro
lific of modern story writers, and Louis
Neuman, who is the author of .three
composite novels, adapted from the
German, Spanish and Italian, were
comparing experiences a few days ago.
"I once had a rather exciting passage
with Ned Buntline." said the Major.
"He was writing u story for a weekly
paper, on which wo were both frequent
ly engaged, when he took a sudden va
cation. The publishers were in a di
lemma, as they had but a singular in
stallment ahead. I was sont for and
told to read the chapters already print
ed, aud then to set to work and finish
up the story in ono or two install
ments.
"The multiplicity of characters puz
zled me. Finally I resolved to get rid
of some of them, and 1 adopted a very
original method. I put a number of
them on board an excursion steamer|and
then exploded her boilers, sending
them to kingdom come. With tlio rest
I worked out a plot to a climax and
wound up the story."
"That reminds me," said Neuman,
"of a somewhat similar incident that
occurred in Paris. A highly sensational
story was running in one of the daily
papers, and the chief had a few install
ments on hand when the brilliant young
author took it iuto his head to go off
and get married. Then he yet out on a
wedding tour, which was to last a week.
The installments wero soon used up,
and another member of the stalf was
directed to wind up the story. He sent
the heroine to a watery grave in the
River Seine; he poisoned the hero;
slew the abbe who was the sole witness
of the marriage, and closed the tale in
a most traghrand harrowing manner. It
was a dark and weird success, you
may believe. At the end of tlio week
the author showed up. He had with
him several installments which he ten
dered to his chief.
" 'Your story is finished M ' said
the editor.
" 'Pardon me,' said the undaunted
novelist, 'it is not finished. 1 have here
the continuation, and there is more to
c.me. Indeed, the best part of it is
here.'
" 'Tchut,' exclaimed tlio chief. 'Why
insist? I say it is finished. M. hud
to do it in your absence.'
" 'I am aware that he wrote several
chapters,' said the unblushing roman
cer ; 'but if you will kindly read this
manuscript, I am sure you will agree
with me that I am right!'
"The manuscript was passed over,
and to the chief's surprise it was a re
markably dramatic sequel to the story.
Tho heroine, instead of being drowned,
was rescued by some fishermen on tho
river below Paris; tho hero was saved
by a medical friend who applied the
stomach-pump in time, and the abbe re
covered from his wounds and was on
hand to bless tliq nuptials of tbe happy
pair.
"My friend," said the composite
novelist, as he turned to the contem
plation of a Portuguese book on short
horned cattle, which he was translat
ing for a Mexican ranchero, "thereis no
obstacle that true gcuius cannot over
come."
The Mun in Room One.
It was at a hotel in Manistee, one ol
those badly planned houses where tint
sounds from the bar-room and officii
reverberate through the upper floors
The hour was past midnight and s
par(y sitting in the office were listening
to the experiences told by a loud-spok
en guest. The electric bell sounded a
call from room No. 1. The porter
went up to see about it and was spok
en to as foliowe. "Give the compli
ments of the Man in Room No. 1 to the
gentleman speaking below. Kept
awake by tho sound of the gentleman's
voice, this man requests him to talk
down cellar instead of up stairs."
The porter failed to render the mes
sage as politely as it was given him and
of course tho talking was kept up, with
more enorgy than ever.
After awhile a bare-legged figure, iu
a flannel night robe, appeared upon
tho stairway, and speaking in a voice
rich with entreaty, said: "Fellow Citi
zens, permit me to introduce to this
meeting tho Man in Room No. 1. He
is not as much of a man as he thought
he was when ho saw Room No. 1 put
down against his name. [Applause.]
Then he believed himself to be 'some
punkins,' and the landlord an intelli
gent and discerning person. [Hisses.]
He now feels himself to be a badly
trapped fly and the landlord a diaboli
cal spider. [Renewed applause. J When
he walked up to the desk and register
ed a siren song worded like this ruug
in his ears:
" 'Will you walk Into Room One,'
Bald tlio landlord to the Client,
'Kopt for an honor'd ono?
Therein you'll sweetly rest.' "
Cries of "GoodI" "Give us a'more!"
etc., etc.
"Room One," the man wont on, "is
down for a call at 4 o'clock; wherefore
('Oh! Oh!') I rise (manifestations) to
remark that my honorable friend, tho
distinguished gentleman who last ad
dressed you ('Rats!'), is an orator of
force, and the Man in Room Ono yields
to him. The voice of tho honorable
gentleman, as it is heard 011 this floor,
may he soft and peruasive; but as
heard iu Room One, it is n trumpet at
tuned to waken tlio landlord's most
honored guest. (Derisive laughter.)
Room Ono, follow citizens, is at tlio
head of this imposing stairway, ascend
ing from this magnificent oflico, to
which tho adjacent dining-hall, the
palatial barroom and the reverberant
billiard saloon act as sounding hoards.
[A voice: 'He's in the soil})' and laugh
ter. J Somo of you may place faith in
the superstition about the number
thirteen. Such might regard an as
signment to room thirteen as a presage
of had luck. [Acquiescence. | As a
choice between them avoid Room One
as the unluckiest of the two. [Sensa
tion.] I might say more, gentlemen,
hut you perceive the situation, and the
hour is, ah—lute. ['Go 011, go on.')
Permit me to retire to the repose of
private life, and yield a measure of
your sympathy to the Man in Room
One." [Loud applause, followed by
the adoption of a resolution of condo
lence, and immediate adjournment.) -

Devices or the Improvident to Keep
from Uctting Broke.
Two young crooks wero arrested somo
time ago 011 suspicion of committing
highway robbery by knocking down a
drunken man and rifling his pockets.
When they were searched before being
Bent to their cells, the halves of two
one dollar hills wero found in a pocket
of one of the young men, and tho natu
ral inference was that the bills were
torn in getting them out of tho drunk
ard's pocket. After tbe young men
were locked UP. another of the saute
gang neara ot the arrest and huntea
up one of the detectives. He learned
about the finding of the bills. "Wero
they like these?" he asked, taking (ho
other portions of the same bills from
his pocket.
"Yes," said the detective, "and I
guess I want you, too."
"Hold on," said the crook. "Come
with me into this saloon and I'll provo
to you that this is dead straight."
The detective accommodated him
and reaching the bar the young man
said to the cashier: "What did 1 sav
this afternoon when I tore them bills iii
half and gave half to Eddie?"
"You said, as near as I can recollect,
'Take them and keep them until you
meet me iu the morning. There will bo
one Sunday that we won't be broke.'"
''That's what I said." said the crook,
"and there's lots of fellows to provo
it."
There was no reason to doubt the
story, and the cashier said lie had seen
it done before by fellows who were
afraid to trust themselves with money
for fear of spending it too quickly. He
said there was ono customer of the
place who tore bills in half in this man
ner and left a portion of them in his
care occasionally. —New York Sun.

HESTTFT ANN SCOOFER,
The Verdict of Suicide Stood.
Andy Boiling was a bad citizen ol
Jackson County, and had killed half a
dozen of his fellow-citizens. Ono even
ing Boiling killed his seventh man in
Clover Bottom. Tlio next day a jury
was impaneled to inquire into the affair.
The testimony was that the deceased
had called Boiling "a liar," and that
Boiling immediately drew his pistol
and fired, killing tlio man who had in
sulted him at the first shot.
The jury went out to deliberate, and
after a short time returned the follow
ing verdict:
"We find that the deceased, Henry
Jones, committed suicide."
The coroner was amazed. "I shall
not receive the verdict," he said; "the
testimony was positive that Andy Boi
ling did the killing."
"Yes," replied the foreman, "and the
testimony was equally positive and un
equivocal that the deceased was of sound
mind and in full possession of all his
faculties just previous to his death,
and that while in this condition he
called Andy Boiling 'a liar.' It stands
to reason that if he had not meditated
self-destruction lie would not have
been so rash. He knew what the con
sequences would be and bo evidently
wanted to die."
So the verdict of suicide stood.—

weighing him soli." ()verdoing a thing,
they call "a hunchbackmakin a bow."
A spendthrift they compare to a rocket

twelve fine Plymouth Rock pullets. The
sarly hatched ones commenced laying in the
fall; when cold weather came on they
stopped laying, while the rest had not begun
to lay. I then commenced using Sheridan's
Powder, advertised to make hens lay. Tu
ten days one pullet commenced to lay, in
fourteen days three more began, and in just
one month from the time i began using the

Catarrh
Is n romplalnt which affects nearly everybody,
more or less. It originates in a cold, or succession
of colds, combined with Impure blood. Disagree
able flow from the nose, tickling iu the throat,
offensive breath, pain over and between the eyes,
ringing and bursting noises In the ears, are the more
common symptoms. Catarrh is cured by liood's
Sarsaparilla, which strikes directly at Its cause by
removing all Impurities from the blood, bulldiug
up the diseased tissues and giving healthy toue to
the wholo system.

The one thing you'll always find in every cow
boy's outfit when he goes on the spring round-up
is a " Fish Brand " Pommel Slicker. They make
the only perfect saddle coat, and come either black
or yellow. They protect the whole i
rider's body, being made to fit round th t
the saddle entire. When used as a walk •
the extension pieces neatly overlap ea ' ..
making a regular overcoat with a do
proof Trout. When tiding, the saddle . ,ry a
bone, from pommel to cautlc, and the
tirely protected in every part of his be 1 e
" Slickers," being of extra width,
blankets for camp. Beware of worthless
every garment stamped with " Fish Brand " Trade
