tumorous department. Free Seats. At a church in an Kuglish country town an apod verger. to save the exertion of continually marching up and down the aisle to conduct persons to their seats, used to take his stand in the centre of the church and, when any incomers appeared, beckon to them and then conduct them to a seat. The urchins of the neighborhood, knowing his peculiarity, used to pop their heads inside the church door and mimic his action by beckoning to him. Many times he tried to catch them, and one Sunday morning nearly did so. But one boy rushed away from the church and ran into the arms of a policeman. "What have you been up to?" demanded the policeman. Thought the boy, "I'm caugnt;' oui he said "Oh. sir, there's a disturbance at that church, and they have sent me to fetch a policeman." "Very good." said the officer; "I'll step in and see about it." So he opened the door at the west end of the church, and. taking off his helmet, entered. The moment the verger saw him he beckoned to him, and motioned him to a seat next an old gentleman. Immediately he was seated he touched the old gentleman and said, "Come quiet." The old gentleman replied. "What do you mean?" Officer?You know what I mean, and I don't want no chat. Come quiet, or I shall have to take yer by force. Old Gentleman?I really don't understand you. Officer?Look here, we don't want no more disturbance; you have been kicking up quite enough and I'm going to have you out quick. By this time the congregation were looking at the pair and wondering what was the matter, so the old gentleman said, "Very well; I have not made any disturbance, but to save any I will go with you." So together (to the wonderment of the congregation) they marched up the aisie. When they had passed out of the church the verger followed them, and the policeman, turning to him. said: "Now, then, you have to make your charge." "Charge?" said the verger. "There ain't any charge; all the seats are free!"?Tit-Bits. His Neighbor's Cat.?A Cleveland lawyer tells of a man living in a suburb of that city whose sleep has been disturbed nightly by the howling on his own back fence of his neighbor's cat. says Lippincott's. At last, in despair. he consulted his lawyer. "There sits that cat every night on our fence." explained the unhappy man. " 1 l- " - . ~ -1r.w/1 ..nil-la anrl vnwls I HI1U lie J un is aim .iu.nu u..u ^ ? Now, I don't want to have any trouble with this neighbor, but the thing has gone far enough, and I want you to suggest a remedy." The lawyer looked solemn and said not a word. "I am well within my rights if I shoot the cat am I not?" asked the sufferer. "I would hardly say that." replied the legal light. "The cat does not belong to you. as I understand it." "No." "And the fence does?" "Yes." "Then." concluded the lawyer, "I think it safe to say that you have a perfect right to tear down the fence." Requested to Keep awake.?When Governor Smith of Georgia was secretary of the interior in Cleveland's cabinet, he was once called home to Atlanta on business. The duites incident to his leaving had thoroughly wearied the brawny, so he retired early in his berth for a good night's rest. Mr. Smith never does anything by halves, and the sonorous cadences of ever increasing volume which proceeded from his apartment gave evidence) that his utterances of the day did not .greatly exceed in forcefulness those of the night. But after about two hours his tranquil slumber was disturbed by the persistent nudging of the porter. That official was asking, "Boss, is you awake?" "Of course. I am awake," Mr. Smith replied. "What do you want?" "Boss, I hope dat you will pardon me, sah, but I was jest goin' to ask you to be so kind as to stay awake for jest about fifteen minutes 'tell de rest of de passengers can git to sleep."?Lippincott's. The One Hk Kept.?A young man entered a hat store and asked to see tlie latest styles in derbies. He was evidently hard to please, for soon the counter was covered with hats that he had tried on and found wanting. At last the salesman picked up a brown derby, brushed it off on his sieve and extended it admiringly. "These are being very much worn this season, sir," he said. "Won't you try it on?" The customer put the hat on and surveyed himself critically in the mirror. "You're sure it's in style?" "The most fashionable thing we have in the shop, sir. And it suits you to perfection?if the fit's right." "Yes, it fits very well. So you think 1 had better have it?" "1 don't think you could do better." "No, 1 don't think 1 could. So 1 guess 1 won't buy a new one, after all." The salesman had been boosting the customer's old hat. which had become mixed among the many new ones. ? 'Putivi-i, r vitv?A I'lfiwinan known to a Philadelphia Record reporter credits a married college girl with an original and practical idea. Recently," the clergyman said, "I christened her tirst baby. Now, babies usually cry while they are being christened. but this one was as quiet as a lamb. Throughout the ceremony it smiled up beautifully into my face. "'.Madam," I said to the young mother at the christening's end, 'I must congratulate you on your little one's behavior. I have christened more than L'.'MM babies, but I never before christened one that behaved so well as yours.' " "No wonder he behaved well,' the young mother said, smiling demurely. 'His father and I. with a pail of water, have been practicing christening on hint for the last ten days.'" A Slight Drop.?Gounod, who, as many Americans know, had u keen sense of fun, was once overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of a young musicmad English girl who had been presented to him. "Oh, I am lost for words to express my admiration for the great composer of Faust," she said. "Inspired musician, genius, mighty master, what shall I call you?" Gounod interrupted her by patting her gently on the head. "Throw your arms round my neck," he gayly advised, "and call me your little rabbit."?Youth's Companion. itUsrrllanrmts ^{cartint).

They returned the same afternoon to Dallas, where they will make their home For some time two firms at Stanley have been missing goods from their stores, and every effort has been made to catch the thieves, but these efforts have been unsuccessful until last Sunday night, when Sheriff Shuford, having obtained a clue, unearthed a wholesale scheme of burglary which had been carried on by some Dallas negroes for some time. The chief offender. who confessed to getting the goods, is one John Williams, known as "Big Bob." With the aid of several confederates, among whom were Ned Holland, Arthur Rhyne, Amos Rankin and Arch Friday, he had been getting into the store and hauling large quantities of goods to Dallas, where he sold it to various parties or disposed of it in almost any way. even giving away suits of clothes to his friends. Some of the goods he had sold to a Mr. Jarrett, who runs a store near the depot. The goods were identified by the owners. All those arrested were held for trial before the next term of superior court, Williams bond being $500 and the others being required to give bonds of $100 each. THE ENCHANTED MESA. Story of Great Disaster Which Wiped Out the Population. The story of the Enchanted Mesa was but a tradition when, in 1541, the Spaniards first visited the pueblo of Acoma, in what is now Valencia county. New Mexico. Powerful tribes inhabited the region. These tribes or nations were constantly at war with each other, which accounts for the fortified character of the villages of the natives. The Jueres. whose descendants now occupy Acoma. held this region and dwelt in small fortified towns, the capital of which was Acoma. It was not. however, the Acoma of today, hut a city perched upon the top of the great rock now called Mesa Encantada. It was a magnificent city of the nation, and there dwelt the great men of the tribe, together with their families. The rock then, as now. was unscalable, save at the one point where a narrow and precipitous trail led up the dizzy height. While not the most convenient dwelling nlace. for neither wa tor nor vegetation was to ho found upon the summit, it was safe from the attacks of foes, one man at the top of the trail could defend the city against the warriors of the entire west. One day. while a large number of the inhabitants were at work in the fields on the plain below, or attending to the affairs of the tribe in the various neighboring villages, something within the rock, or in the earth beneath it. awoke to life and motion. There was a heaving, a squirming and a shivering of the great rock. and. with a mighty noise, it parted in twain and a portion fell in fragments to the plain below. Such persons as were carried down in the debris were crushed to death. A worse fate remained for those left prisoners on the top of the mesa, for that which fell carried away the narrow trail, the only means of ascent and descent. The stranded ones perished from thirst and starvation. The present Acoma family are the descendants of disaster. Ethnologists who visited the top of the rock some years ago found unmistakable evidences that it had once been the site of habitation. The story of the disaster had. previously to that time, been disci edited and considered, hut an idle Indian legend. The discovery of the ancient ruins, however, seemed confirmatory of the tale and it has since been credited. CHANGING STYLES IN WEAPONS. The Loaded Cane and the Derringer of Fifty Years ago. "It has always seemed a little curious to me," said an ex-police official who was better known a dozen years ago than he is now. that the law forbidding citizens to carry concealed weapons has not been pronounced unconstitutional. Doesn't the constitution declare that a citizen has a perfect right to bear arms? "Passing over that question though, did it ever occur to you to think how many reputable citizens ignore them and how the police seldom interfere with a man for earylng a weapon unless the man is wanted for some other reason? You have thought of that? Well, did you ever think how the custom began and what curious fashions there have been at different times in the style and character of the weapons most commonly carried? "I should say. speaking: in a general way, that American citizens in this part of the country began to carry concealed weapons as a habit just before the beginning of the last half of the last century, and that the habit grew for something like twenty-five years and after that became gradually less prevalent, until now probably no more than one man in every ten carries a deadly weapon, whereas forty years ago probably every third man did so. "Two things wholly unrelated to each other happening about the same time gave rise to the habit. Gold was discovered in California in 1849, and some persons succeeded in putting a revolving pistol on the market just when the eastern men who started westward in the hope of picking up the gold decided thai it would not do for them to go out in Die wilderness unarmed. "Of course I don't forget the bowie knife or the derringer?which was the original bulldog pistol. It was long before '49 that southerners especially. seeing the merit of the knife that Col. Bowie made famous, adopted it, and even before that the ugly, 111 /-v Ki or Knrft niQtnl L'UIIVCIIlClIt nine UVI V j/iwvw. could be found in the vest pocket of almost any southern gentleman. It was looked upon as a decided step in the progress of invention when these derringers came to be made double barreled. They discharged tremendously heavy bullets with deadly accuracy and were peculiarly effective weapons at short range. "But in those days there was a wide difference between the north and south, and though the carrying of concealed weapons was almost universal among southern gentlemen there were few reputable men in the north who ever went armed on ordinary occasions. "Then came the emigration to the gold fields and every man who went thought he had to carry a knife and a pistol or two. The old pepper box | revolver was the latest thing in pistols and was supposed to be the best because you could shoot six times with it before reloading, so every mother's son of them bought a revolver. It was, in fact, one of the poorest weapons ever invented, being clumsy and bulky, and unreliable, heavy, badly balanced and inaccurate. It was gross flattery to accuse one of them of being a concealed weapon, for if it was put in a pocket it made a lump any one could see. 'Phr. men ?hn Unew what weanons really were, used to say sneeringly that the only way to kill a man with one of these things was to throw it at him, and the remark became a stock joke, but thousands of men knew nothing about weapons, and wanting the best suddenly bought the worst, because they were the newest, and so the inventor, or at least the manufacturers, got rich. Moreover the original idea of the revolving pistol was afterward elaborated into the wonderful weapon of today that is carried by thousands of people who are not suspected of going armed. "It was a dozen years after that before the civil war began, and the habit of going armed at all times, whether is was necessary or not, was suddenly stimulated, but in the interval the custom had gained ground even here in the east, and there were some curious outgrowths from it. "I suppose you would call the revolver the national weapon today, probably, but at that time, as I have explained, the revolver was far from being what it is now. and there was even a prejudice against it. Many men who wanted weapons were not satisfied with the old fashioned single or double barreled pistol or the bowie knife, and they tried various things. "It was quite a fad one time to early a swordstick. The stick itself was of course merely a scabbard hid. By pressing a concealed spring the scab bard was loosened and could be shaken off, having: a naked blade from six to thirty inches in length. "The swordstick fashion did not last long, though for a time it was very prevalent. The authorities were generally very severe in cases in in which people were arrested for carrying these particular weapons, and there were a good many such arrests, but I do not think it was because of the reprobation of the courts that people stopped carrying swordsticks. I prefer to think that it was because the American view of it was that a weapon of this sort was one that only a coward would use. Its chief value lay in the surprise it gave the other fellow. "Still, as I said, there was a demand for some kind of small arms that could be carried conveniently by the individual, and the revolver had not yet arrived. So the next thing that had a rMn was a loaded cane. "1 don't mean the real gun disguised as a walking stick. There were some of those put on the market, and a few were actually carried. They were loaded with powder and ball and you could lire them oft' without even waiting to remove the ferrule first, if you were in a hurry, nut they never had any vogue. "The loaded eane I mean was really a .slingshot in another form. If you can recall the time when vulcanized India rubber was a novelty you will probably remember among variious articles made of hard rubber the polished black walking stick. It was quite fashionable for a time, being a novelty, but it seems to he forgotten now. "You could make a cane out of rubber alone of course, but it was brittle, and so they used to make them with steel rods inside for strength. They were very flexible, and it was not long before it was discovered that if loaded heads were put on them they made formidable weapons in the hands of anybody who knew how to use them. "Of course these loaded sticks were not in any sense of the word conceal ed weapons, and there was no pretext on which the police or the courts could interfere with a man's carrying one. T haye sometimes thought that that might have heen one reason why people didn't care to carry them, hut although they had a short run they are as much out of date now as the sword cane or the still less common umbrella with a dagger in the handle. "It seems strange now, but it Is a fact that more than a few reputable American citizens carried these things right hero in civilized communities forty or fifty years ago, and carried them habitlally. Probably the great war and the return or multitudes of .volunteer soldiers to civil life accounted for it but I don't think the laws against carrying concealed weapons had much to do with the passing away of the custom. Public opinion was opposed to it and the Improvement of the revolver was also an influence in so far as it changed the character of the weapons that were carried. As I said, a great many more men carry revolvers than is generally supposed, but Americans as a rule don't carry these old fashioned things nowadays any more than they do the stilettoes of the Italian or the razors of the darkies. As a matter of fact the police don't try to stamp out the custom ex cept among the classes they fear and distrust. Probably they could come pretty near It if they should try. I remember what a newspaper correspondent told me once of his experience in Memphis. Tenn., some twentyflve years ago. "It seems the town had been pretty well stirred up over some particularly harrowing tragedies and a stringent law had been passed, under which people who were caught with concealed weapons were sent to jail for thirty days or more, not fined, and this law was actually enforced. He. the correspondent, had a revolver in his pocket, thinking it was only common prudence to go armed while he traveled down the Mississippi, but he put it away in a hurry when he learned from a friend that no influence would save him from imprisonment if he should be caught carrying it. He would not believe the statement at first, but on inquiring he found that the mayor of another Tennessee city was then serving time in the Memphis jail for that very offence, though he had been ignorant of the local law when he offended and strenuous efforts had been made in his behalf."? New York Sun. AFTER TWENTY-NINE YEAno. "For twenty-nine years I have been at intervals a great sufferer from rheumatism," writes James Hyde, of Beebe. ArU DuririE- that time I used ernl Inns of various kinds of liniments and oils, but got very little relief. The attacks were so bad that I was often confined to my bed helpless for weeks and months at a time. "Not long ago, while suffering from a severe attack, a sample bottle of) Sloan's Liniment was sent to me for trial. My surprise was great when I found that it gave me instant relief, and I immediately ordered two large bottles. I have used about a half of one fifty-cents bottle, and feel so well that I want everybody afflicted as I was to know what Sloan's Liniment has done for me, and I shall always have a feeling of gratitude for the man who sent me the sample bottle."
