We were staging from Anton Chico
to Sinte Fe. i.and there were six paeme
gem all iwen. Every man was armed,
and one mihnit safely judge that every
one would lighIt if driven to it. One of
the passengers was a man from Rhode
Island, who said his name was Hast
hm and after we were fairly started
•eentlemlen. I have a proposition to
make. If you accept it I hope it will
be to your benefit. If you do not,
then no harm has been done. We are
uite likely to meet with a road agent
efore we get through. If so, how
many of you will fightt"
This was puttin it pretty broad, but
seeng that no disrespet was meant,
one of the passengerslooked over the
wowd and replied:
"I think every man can be depended
ea."
"Yem. you think so, but when the
pinch come the case will be difer
eat I've been through the mill, and
I've men a man with two revolver go
right down into his boots and submit
to ( kicked."
"What is your propositiour'
"Well, I'm about dead broke. I
want to engage to defend this crowd
for 10 per cent. of the money it is ear
P'How do you meanr'
"Why. it ppd, I'll agree to kill
or run of the ch who does it. I Ido
you pay me 10 per cent. If I don't you
pay me nothing. I'll leave it to each
man to size up his pile."
"You must think yourself a very
brave and smart man, remarked one
of the others.
"Oh. no, I'm not at all stuck on my
self. This is a matter of business.
I guarantee to do taius and so. I want
you to do the sam--."
We chaffed hin for a while, but see
in ho'w good na' ured he was, finally
areed that if we were stopped and he
d or drove the robber off we'd
come down with the per cent. de
manded. Stag a had been robbed on
that route, but we had no fear, and it
had edhe alon, to 5 o'clock p. m., sad
we were about to cross a creek run
ning throup. a chaparral when a
voice cried "Halt!" and the driver
pulled u .
" ! but heo's the agent!"
eh uHald Hastings, who had been dos
ing for an hour. "Remmber the
terms, gentlemnen-O per cent. if I
mavu r boodle!"
'Throw down your gun !" shouted
the voice, and we bheard the driver
•ow get down and unhitch your
hors. from the stage!"
The driver was swingu hmsell

gold dwates and 170 in money, ud
we paid him about $00 more. We felt
at enough, too, I can aure you, as
we had been given no show. Hastings
stripped the body, dragged it out of
the road, and took his place in the
coach with the remark;
"Hope you gents are perfectly ist

While workmen were engaged in
felling a huge old hickory tree on the
oprty of Mrs. J. I. Ogden, is
rinield, Pa., they came upon a
lock of hair deeply imbedded In it
trunk. An auger hole had been bored
into the heart of the gigantic hickory
sand tie curly lock placed therein. The
hole had then been plugged up. This
stranige iad is considered a relie of su
perstitiol. Old residents take it to he
the last remnant of one of "Black

have been often told. A series of
poems by Halliday Jackson some years
ago pictured his mysterious healings.

The Joss who lives in 16 Molt street,
New York, isa fine looking fellow,with
a mustache and chin whiskers like
bunches of horse hair. Ri, people,
once every week, supply the table in
front of the shrine where lie hang
with all the delicacies of the season.
Until two ImoIths ago JOs was sup
ipoed to stay his appetite by inhaling
the aroma of the feast and the smoke
of the incense. Every 4unday the
stale vi.'mls were relplaced with fresh
food.
One Sunday when the attendant ex
amined the table he found that half of
the rost pig had been devourjd. He
almost fell on the floor with surpriase
and fright, lie looked out of the cor
ner of one of his eyes at Jose, half ex
pecting towre him move; but no: even
a blink of Jose's slant eyes was notice
able.
The food was there for Joss, and he
had a right to eat it if he wanted. But
such a thing had never been heard of
before. Week after week the food dis
appeared and the attendant went
around among his friends and told
them the marvel.
The new mayor and high priest of
Joas determined to make an iavestiga
tion. Accompanied by his secretary
and the whole Chinese police deput
ment, composed of one man, FooYeh,
be went to the temple. He searehed
all the nooks and crannies of the
shrine. One or two roadies ran over
the carved gilt work, and a big gray
whiskered rat fled across the floor and
struggled through a hole in the cor
ner. As the mayor turned around he
saw sticking out from under the satin
robe that covens the sacrificial table a
human foot.
"Ai ya," lie shouted, pointing at the
row of toe. "To Ia loo l gay yai,
vah," or words to that effect. The po
lice and .ecretary came up. and in an
instant the curtain was withdrawn.
Under the table lay a wretched, rag
ged heathen asleep, and by his side
was the half eaten ham of a rost pig.
"What you do heref" asked Jew
Shing Pon, the mayor, waking him
up. C'ome, go out of here."

Some very iuterentiug dimroveries
have lately beeni made on the planet
mercury by t~ehL wrlli, the great
Italian astronomer. Much remarkably
acute eyesight has this man that he is
able to discover spots on the planet
where other astronomers se only a
blank surface. By watching and
studying these spots during a period of
several years. Schiaparelli was able to
determine the ime of rotation of the
planet on its axis and the angle which
its equator makes with the plane of
its orbit. Schroeter a hundred ears
ago noticed a blunting of the horns
of the planet when crescent, and from
these observations Herchel computed
that the planet revolved once in
twenty-four hours. Schiaparelli's ob
servations show this to be entirely
wrong for lie observed the spots re
peatedly on the same day without see
ing any signs of rotation. However.
from day to day he noticed a slight
change in the position of the spots,
and inally found that the planet sre
volvedal on its axis in the same time
that it rotated around the sun, i. e., in
about eighty-eight days. It, there
fore. always turns the mine surface
toward the sun, just as our moon does
toward the earth.-New York Comrn

Every village had a quoit club and the
boys on the farms used to throw bhou

could in a good game of quoits."

he do anything? Did the man drownt"
