"I'll trouble you for your little wad
if you please!"
The footpad was polite, but Insistent
The luckless pedestrian looked uf
and down the dimly lighted street, bin
nobody else was in sight.
"It will not do you any Rood, my
dear friend," said the gentlemanly
highwayman, still holding a rcvolvei
pointed in a most threatening mannei
at the other's head. "The nearest sa?
loon is half a mile away, and the dis
'.ance to the nearest policeman is ex?
actly the same. You and 1 have tin
locality entirely to ourselves. Where?
fore"?and he gave the trigger an om?
inous little click?"there is no occasion
for prolonging this interview. Pro?
duce'"
"I see you've got the drop on me all
right enough," said the victim, grumb
lingly, "and all I'm kicking myself
about is that 1 didn't need to lose my
roll. I could just as well have loft it
it home this evening. If you'll put
your fingers in my right vest pocket
you'll find ?9, more or less. It's all
I've got about me, and I was going to
spend It to-morrow for a new set of
tires for my bicycle."
"What kind of tires?" sternly de?
manded the footpad.
"The Fladger & Sklmmerhorn Punc
tureless Anti-Sideslip."
"Can you get that for $9?"
"I know when- I can get it for a
shade le s than $9."
"Great Scott, old man! You keep
your little wad and go and buy that
tire. Say, do you know that's the liest
tire on earth? Why, darn it. I ride the
Fladger & Skimmerhorn myself.
Shake!"
If this should meet the eye of the
gentlemanly highwayman he will learn
that an outrageous confidence game
was played upon him.
The belated pedestrian whom he mei
on that occasion uses the Jingo
Slabb Extra Resilient bicycle tire, and
bus no use for any other kind.
But he happened to see by the light
of a street lamp that the gentlemanly
highwayman wore a Fladger &. Sklm?
merhorn button in the lapel of his
coat.
Furthermore, he had $117.50 in anoth?
er pocket.
THIS KNIGHT WAS BOLD.
Sir Lnmbton Loralm-'a Tiro Great
Iiav? Recullcd.
Sir Lambton Eoraine presided over
a meeting of Baronets, held in Lon?
don the other day. The downtrodden
and oppressed Baronets have banded
themselves into an organization to
maintain their right of precedence
over the younger sons of Ixnds "and
sich" and to generally brush up the
respectability of their order.
While Sir Lambton was fussing
about "precedence" and such non?
sense, how the news from America re?
garding the Cuban situation must have
made him think of the days of his
youth, when as a young man of 35
he swept into Santiago de Cuba and
saved the lives of Americans, defying
with his little gunboat the whole
Spanish Power.
The Virginius had been captured
and the people found on board of her
by the Spanish had been tried by
drumhead court martial and were be?
ing shot in the plaza of Santiago.
Captain Loraine steamed into the har?
bor, and landing his men, marched
them to the place of execution. "Stop
the shooting!" was his order.
"Oh, we have shot all the English;
we are only shooting Americans now,"
replied the courteous Spanish com?
mander. "Never mind, stop the
shooting!" replied Sir Lambton, and
added, quoting Admiral Tatnall, who
helped the British at the battle of the
Peiho River. "Blood is thicker than
water." The shooting was stopped,
and Captain Ixiraine protected the
Americans until "Albemarle" dish?
ing came in with an American man
of-war and took charge.
Soon after, at the request of the
United States Government, Captain
Loraine brought this ship to New York
where he was received with salutes
and honors and the freedom of the
city presented to him. The silver
miners of Nevada sent him a silver
brick inscribed. "To Captain Sir
Lambton Loraine?this is a brick, and
you are another," and other presents
and addresses were given him. He is
60 years old now, and will probably
nevor again have as stirring an ad?
venture as he did that day when he
steamed into Santiago de Cuba nor
such a day of glory as the day he
steamed into New York.

being aserAed to the modest wants of
ilv butch people -who. compose it. It is
known as the Amanna Society, and' is
located at !Hi:imestead and vicinnty.

of unlbroken proirie to over 57,000 acres
? of cuitiuiteti lands, on -which, in addi?
tion, to Homestead, there cie s-..ven Ut?

ings. The, co-operative idea is strictly
carried cut, and no tme colonist is- bet?
ter supplied with worldly go^ds frhnin
his fellows. Each, on entering, deposits
? ill he has in the > ommon store, and if
he iiuies to withdraw, his contribution

iowcid $30 and each -woman $20 a year
for letothmg, buit the mi.ney may he
spent for other jnrposes. Up to a few
years ogo, only Dutch was taught in
the schools, but now t-he young p*e.xple
are learning English. There are many

But It Didn't Suit,
Watson irai sitting at his desk one
evening When his wife said:
"My dear, will you send a note to
Sylk & Sattln and tell them that I must
have the five yards of lining that I
bought there yesterday. They said
they'd send it right away, and I must
have It to-morrow, for the dressmaker
will be here the next day."
So Watson wrote as follows:
"Messrs. Sylk & Sattin: Will you [
please send at once the five yards of
lining my wife purchased at your store |
yesterday?"
"Let me see what you have written?"
said Mrs. Watson.
"Oh, dear!" she said, after reading I
it, "that Isn't half posiive and definite
enough. They'll pay no attention to
that. I'll sit down and write to them
myself."
And this was what she wrote:
"Messrs. Sylk & Sattin: You will re?
member that I was in your store at
about 10 o'clock yesterday morning (or
it may have been as late as 10:30), and
I purchased five yards of percaliue for
dress-lining. One of the salesladies at
the lining counter will remember about
it. The one I bought it of was tall |
and slender, with dark eyes, and I
remember that she had on a red silk
waist trimmed with black velvet anil
a red and green piaid skirt. She will
remember that I purchased the lining
of her and she promised me that it
would be sent sure to-day. It has not
come and it would not make auy par?
ticular difference, only that my dress?
maker is coming day after to-morrow
and she will need the lining the first
thing, and cannot go to work without I
It, and her engagements are such that |
she cannot come to me any day but
day after to-morrow and the next day,
so if the lining should not come it
would put her back so that she could
not finish the dress, and I cannot gel
her again for nearly a month, and 1
simply must have the dress by the last
of next week, and 1 am tuo busy tc
come downtown to-morrow and get
the lining. The saluslady I spoke ol
with the red silk waist waist will be
sure to remember about it, and I told
her just why and when I wanted it and
she promised me that it would be sure
to come. Of course It may come be?
fore you get this, and if so it will be
all right, but I simply must have it be?
fore the dressmaker gets here, for she I
will want to go to work on the skirt |
the first thing and she cannot if she
does not have the lining. Please send j
it right away.
"F. S.?Five yards of pcrcaline skirt j
lining at 38 cents a yard, bought oi
saleslady in red silk waist and plaid
skirt, to be sent sure yesterday, and |
has not come. Must have it to-mor?
row." a
"There," said Mrs. Watson, as she I
folded the letter. "That will make it |
all clear to them."
