Suraotous Jrpartmrnt. Hs Was Too Extravagant.?Prank Parker Stockbridge, the magazine writer bought him a farm not long ago says the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star. Somewhat later, after having made various improvements, he decided to sell it. As It is somewhat out of the line of summer travel he advertised it for sale in the country weeklies nearest. "I began to think I'd have no difficulty in disposing of it," said he. "Farmers would come in, all over smiles and excelsior, and begin to talk farm values to me. Then I'd take 'em over the place, and the farther they went the better they liked it. Then I'd show them through the house?and their enthusiasm would drop to below zero. 1 couldn't figure it out for a long time. At last I penned one old chap. " 'Isn't the farm all right?" I asked him. "He allowed that the farm was ex cellent. " "Isn't the house all right?' "The house, he thought, was a right peart sort of a house. " 'Then what's the matter?' "The old chap wanned up," said Mr. Stockbridge. "I handed him a Hp-full of hard cider and a Connecticut filler, and we sat down and talked It over. " 'It's them dum extravagant Ideas of your's,' said he, 'that scares a feller olf. That barn is fine?latest improved stanchions and automatic feeders and unloading devices and ail them things. And the kitchen is good. No dum foolishness there. But when a feller gets up in the attic and you show him your bathtub?well when he looks up, he's bound to see right through the window that the creek ain't mor*n half a mile away.'" AH th# Sams to Him. With Appomattox only a few days off the Federal and Confederate forces were daily drawing closer together, and cavalry squads of either side now and then picked up a few stragglers of the enemy. A group of Confederate troopers one afternoon captured a Yankee Infantryman who wore a spick and span new uniform with bright new buttons all in their proper places and carried a new, clean, shiny musket. After the custom of war in such cases, they started for camp with their prisoner and began to guy him gently by way of passing the time. To their great surprise he could hardly understand them or they him. "Where'd you come from, Yank?" they asked. "Vom Prwoossia," he answered stolidly. "How long you been in this country?" *trw * ?? ?maunn Arnl mATiot M ^wei muuai.?*1 U4vi "And you came down here to fight u??" "Yah, for boundy," said the prisoner indifferently. The Confederates decided to scare the Prussian and have a lot of fun. "Look here," said their leader, "a Yankee soldier Is all right, but a Dutch Yankee?bah! Say, do you know what we'll do with you, you ? Dutch Yankee? We'll stand you up over a coffin at sunrise tomorrow and fill you full of lead!"

She Expected Too Much,?Ossian Flngal Thompson, chief clerk In the' Nickel Plate passenger department, was a station agent once?everybody recalls Terrence Mulvaney, who was a corp'rll wanct?in the city of ESria. That was In his Lake Shore days, however. They had a certain New York train favored of the town, No. 6 It was scheduled, concerning which a lady called to make some inquiries. "No. 6 is ten minutes late" said the polite agent. The lady turned to speak to a friend who had accompanied her, but in three minutes approached the window to repeat her question. Again Thompson gave the desired information. Another two minutes and the question was asked for a third time. This time Thompson felt just the least bit nettled. "Madam," he said, with all the severity of which his gentle soul was capable, "No. 6 is still ten minutes late!" But she was far from crushed. "Pshaw!" she exclaimed. "I thought it would have made up that ten minutes , by this time."?Cleveland Leader. More Than Engaged.?"A nice young couple in our crowd was married this summer," relates a nice young fellow in the same crowd, "and when they got back from their honeymoon they went . to housekeeping in a certain apartment house in the East End. They had one servant?a little girl whose mother used to do the washing for her folks and who, therefore, knew all about them and came cheap and willing. Well, I went to call on them the other evening. "The little maid met me at the door. She had known me when I called on the girl before she was married, so she smiled when she noticed who I was. But I was very polite. "'Are Mr. and Mrs. Smith at home?' I asked. " 'Yes, Mr. Brown,' said she. "'Are thev enera&red at Dresent?' ""Why, Mr. Brown!' cried the little girl, blushing, "they're married!'" Answered at Last.?A Swede was being examined in a case in a Minnesota town where the defendant was accused of breaking a plate-glass window with a large stone. He was pressed to tell how big the stone was, but he could not explain. "Was it as big as my fist?" asked the nervous judge, who had taken over the examination from the lawyers in the hope of getting some results. "It bane bigger," the Swede replied. "Was it as big as my two fists?" "It ban bigger." "Was it as big as my head?" "It ban about as long, but not so thick!" replied the Swede amid the laughter of the court.?Saturday Evening Post.

"I wish every bit of it was at the bottom of the sea." As they were leaving the hall the lecturer encountered Pat. "I certainly am proud of you," he said. "It was a brave thing for you to riso and aav what vou did. Arc vou a teetolar?" "No, indade, sor," answered Pat. "I'm a diver."?Cleveland Leader. He Had a Name.?Patrick, lately over, was working in the yards of a railroad. One day he happened to be in the -yard office when the force was out. The telephone rang vigorously several times and he at last decided it ought to be answered.

There were three men sitting h about a table on a dining car that reel- d ed off the miles across the desert coun- h try of western Texas. One of the li group, a large, clear-eyed man, was n the superintendent of a well-known tl division of the Southern Pacific rail- n road. For some time he had sat silent listening to the discussion of a recent hold-up of a Louisville and Nashville m train, near New Orleans. With some w of that good-na?.ured tolerance with ii which a westerner feels for the "down- ? easterner" he allowed his section of tl the states to be handled pretty rough- 8] ly. Finally, however, he broke into v, the conversation: B "I see that train robbing is fast get- n tiner to be on a par with football and g< other popular sports back In the east." a There was no denial, and he proceed- n ed: h "Don't do things In quite the same h way as the bandits that used to op- jf erate out here did. It looks as if the ^ robbers back on the other side of the T Mississippi get the rough end of the s< deal almost every time. See where w an engineer put one of them out of tl business with an engine toich a few y( days ago. Mighty few of them ever w get away with the plunder. The trouble is, the would-be bandits are a c< bunch of 'mollycoddles.' Their 'nerves' i8 and their methods are soft and ama- rr teurish. Baby-carriage robbing would w be more In their line. I would Invite m one of those eastern men who goes in rt to make a success of that sort of busl- ai ness to look up carefully the methods w of the gang that it took us twenty-five a] years to break up along the South- ^ ern Pacific lines. They were men of rt steel, and paused at absolutely noth- hi Ing. When they went after a mail car, tl an express car, or after the passengers *n they got what they went for. Rarely aj was one of them ever Injured, and al- p< most as rarely were they ever caught w for years after a crime. rt Hatchery for Robbers. tl "Down here at a point between El A Paso and Tucson at a town called d! Benson, and at another called Cochise, a were favorite places for robberies to be bi hatched. Those were tough joints s< along in the late '80's and early '90's. si They were excellent places from which re to operate, lor this reason, to me ?< north of them, and nearby, were the tl White Mountains, while to the south, If within a day's ride, was Mexico. A tl man who knows anything1 about the w White Mountain* knows that there are fr places up In there that a couple of men can hold out against a regiment for a month, provided food and am- q< munition are plentiful. One place in n< particular was popular with the ban- ai dito after pulling off a job. The place to is called Russell's Park, and Is there ea today Just as It has always stood?a w secure retreat for evil-doers, who wish m to escape capture. Like the famous h< 'Devil'* Hole' and other places of ret- n< uge for bandits. It consists of a large he valley or depression, way up In the top w of the mountains. There Is a plenty oa of grass for the horses and also lots of tu good water. The surface of the ground til Is covered with great, huge boulders h( that have paused on their route from le the highest points along the peal:s to be the lowest in the valley. These boul- w! ders form excellent 'cover,' and it is he not a hard matter to get lost among er them. The park is several thousand de acres in extent. But here is the Im- pr portaint point?there is but a single en- re trance to the great park. One can grain th access to Russell's park in one way tv only and that is through a narrow, st tortuous passage, flanked on either side fr by high, sheer precipices. Why, after se officers of the law had made several se efforts to get at bandits known to be re hiding in the park they gave it up for sh all time?the place simply cannot be qi taken as long as a single man remains in on guard at that narrow door. How ar many officers were 'winged' or killed w> outright before learning their lesson it Ti is hard to estimate, but. lots of them. sh An Instance. th "In the early days cf the Southern m Pacific out here, Benson and Cochise fo were nothing more than 'adobe' set- he tlements, with a saloon or two amid re a dozen houses. They were the ren- w dezvous of the toughest gang of rob- dc bers that ever flagged a train. The th James boys and their kind were 'kid- le glove' robbers compared to the crowd uj that made railroading a precarious thing out here twenty-five years ago. th There was a regular nystem about it, m too. For instance, say two men de- *a yc cided to hold up a tr .in on a certain ^ night. Previous to that date they went to a large town and laid in a store of ammunition and food to last a couple of weeks. These they packed off to r., Russell's Park and cached there. Then they rode over to a point along' the line, somewhere between Benson and la Cochise and awaited their train. The es robbery itself became almost stereo- ar typed in form?the engineer was cov- m ered by one robber and made to un- of couple the mail and express cars and cu haul them down the road a piece. Then ^ the fireman and the engineer, along with the mail clerk and express meB- se senger, were lined up and kept cov- Se ered by one bandit, while the other ^J one blew open the safe and rifled the qi mail pouches. Resist? Why, I should pr say not. It was Instant death to even pf move slowly when you had your orders j^c from one of those cold-blooded ras- ch cals. No. When the train crew knew sa what was up they fell into line quick enough, and asked no questions. m; Sometimes after the robbery the engi- in neer was made to uncouple his en- ?F glne from the mail and express cars ^ and carry the robbers some miles away down the road, here horses were th ready for the flight. Once in their sad60 dies the bandits made a straight line Fl for Russell's Park, where everything Sc was in readiness for them. Occasion- th ally the robbers turned south and fit crossed the line into Mexico, where j0 they knew they were practically safe of from pursuit. They stayed under cover wi fnr nn'hilo fhen onmp nut and disnosed ,m of the stolen stuff." fa An Arizona Robbery. W Some years ago a robbery occurred of which presented s-*me peculiar fea- Su tures. One spring n:ght two despera- mi does, one named Alvador and the other "Three Fingered Jack." boarded an of Arizona and New Mexico passenger un train at a point a few miles north of cr< Fairbanks, Arizona. They proceeded to make a "rough house" for awhile. an After the shooting was over the rob- th< bers left with a pile of mail and some few express packages, and cut for the nountains near Bens >n. It seems that wa i "green" express messenger was on agi :he run, and when he undertook to de- er( 'end the company's property he had an j?a?r irm torn off by buckshot from a saw- ch d-oflf' breech-loadei. He afterwards flo< led. It was known who the robbers ere almost Instantly. They were old o ands at the game, and had been seen a bout Fairbanks the day of the hold- t p. Both of them were known to be c esperate and fearless. Sheriff Scott, I f Pima county, Arizona, said that he s ad once ordered Alvador to put up his 1: ands, and Alvador had calmly looked r own the muzzle of the pistol and kept c is hands at his sides. They had been a i trouble all along the Mexican border s lany times, and were familiar with a he lay of the country, and with al- a lost all of the people living along it 1; A Dangerous Game I Knowing what dangerous game they t rere pursuing the officers of the law t raited for reinforcements before mov- a ig. The robbery occurred in Cochise r ounty and it was up to the sheriff of r aat county to capture the bandits. The r heriff had an idea of the tactics which t rmiis ho nnnmed. and bided his time. V lallroad detective* and secret service t ten and express company detectives a coured the country to no avail. After t while the sheriff quietly went out one !i lght to a nearby ranch and picked up is men, and also, a third one whom e wanted as a witness. The Cochise < til was a frail affair, so the robbers i -ere taken to the Pima county jail,-at i uscon. There tfiey awaited trial. But t imethlng happened. Just how and r 'hy no one knows. At any rate before r le case was called the prisoners, Al- e ador and "Jack," escaped, leaving the a ltness behind. t For weeks the robbers roamed the v juntry about ' Tucson and Benson, a lughlng at the effort/: of a perfect ar- r ly of officers to round them up. They c ere wanted by Ae state, the govern- \ lent, the express company and the c Lilroad. Consequently large rewards, ( mounting to thousands of dollars, t ere placed on their heads?"dead or n live." Sheriffs, secret service men, t fells-Fargo men, Southern Pacific c Lilroad detectives and private "man t unters" were out for the money. The t >lng developed Into a farce from the c lan-on-the-streets' viewpoint. While 1 of these officers were searching des;rately for the bandits, the bandits j ere dally holding up passengers and e mchers In Pima and Cochise coun- c es, demanding food and ammunition. ,f sewing machine man was made to Jj ismount rrom ms wagon anu go uuu ^ town and buy pistol cartridges. The tl indits finally tired of the game, and J ;nt a note, by a go-between, to the ieriff of Pima county offering to sur- ti inder under certain conditions. A ewspaper man of Tuscon, known to ^ le robbers, and a friend of the sher- e fs, was named to carry on the nego- b atlons. Meanwhile, the army of re- n ard-hunters scoured the country uitlessly. * 8( "Out of ths Blackness." o Night had fallen with its accustomed h iickness in the west, when the lone ? jwspaper man mounted a horse, un- tl med, and turned the animal's head w ward the Rincon Mountains, north- a ist of Tucson. For miles he rode to- ard the mouth of a certain canyon entloned by the robbers. Suddenly i was challenged. Out of the black>88 of the desert a man with gun in md, approached and exchanged word 1th him. Then a blind was placed rer the reporter's eyes and he was med rapidly around a few times unI he lost all sense of directions. H1b >rse was then brought to him and, d by another hoi-seman, the reporter >gan a tedious and dangerous ride, hlch would end in the robbers' strongrid. Miles of rough going were coved before the mysterious sentry orired the reporter to dismount and oceed on foot. Finally the camp was ached and the blind removed from e visitor's eyes. Before him sat the ?o desperate characters for whom the ate machinery, backed by the best om other sources, were even then arching. The two bandits and the ntry, being old acquaintances of the porter, came forward and heartily 100k hands, asked a few indifferent jestlons and then came down to busess. Tlfle terms were easy to arrange, id were these: That the bandits ould walk Into the sheriffs office In Licson within forty-eight hours, if the lerlff would consent to divide with em on the rewards. You tee, these en had starving families to provide r, and to their women and children ilf of the rewards must go, or no surnder.

THE SEA WITHOUT TIDES intrast Between the Mediterranean ana ine ucean ocyona. s The Mediterranean Sea, which has I tely been the centre point of inter- I t, is commonly described as tideless, I id the description is correct, at any I te, of its eastern end. Navigators | te Jonah and St. Paul knew nothing tides.
