WIUKIOTH, MANAGER 40 YEARS A BANDIT Old Bill Miner, Stage Coach and Train Robber. _ Hat Left a Criminal Trail Over the West?Now Tacea Long Term in Prison for Georgia Hold-up. Gainesville, Ga.?Far back In the 't>Os drivers of stage coaches making trips back and forth across the state of California began to come in from their lone-raountaln Journeys with cash boxes rifled of their contents, sometimes a horse shot, and In every case with the same story. A lonely I epot on the road, sometimes in the ilavtlme, sometimes at night, a single highwayman and the magic words, "HaudB up!" The tale never varied. F'or want of a better name the lone hlghwajman came to be known, far and wide, as "California Billy." The exploits of "California Billy" continued for several years. All ef'orts at his capture were in vain. Many posses bunted the lone outlaw, tempted by offers of generous rewards. But be seemed to bear a charmed life. It was not until 1869 that he was caught. The driver of a stage that ran In from the hills hack of Sacramento Jumped from his 6eat In front , of the office early one morning in the spring of that year and breathlessly lold how he had been held up but a few hours before. The strong box of (he staee had been heavy with gold Just sent in by miners. Never before had "California Bill" darul lo attack i coach so close to a town. In 20 minutes from the time the Jriver told his story a heavily armed posse was riding hard back over the trail. It was not difficult to pick up traces of the bandit. Before nightfall i his hunters were close upon him and I i? the sun sank behind the hills they surrounded him. The posse expected Old Bill Miner. i fight. To their surprise the outlaw Dflered no resistance, but surrendered it their command. His irial was speedy and less than a week after his capture he began serving a term in San Quentin prison. Wheu Miner was released he left California as rapidly as jiocsible. The wilder country of Colorado offered greater attractions. In this new field >f operation his methods were the same as in the old. Miner and two others on November 1, 1S81, reappeared in California after in absence of twelve years, held up the stage that ran from Sonora. Tuolumne county, to Milton and secured $32,000 in cash and gold dust. Two of the gang were quickly caught. Miner managed to elude the officers for several weeks, but was n ii.. t noriti Tho trial WflK U.iciii* i u11 iv cm vii. * ?.v v.. ? . brief and Justice severe. The three lobbers were Bent to Sun Queutln prison for 25 years. If. was 1901, 20 years later, before "C;d Bill" Miner could again breathe the air a free man. By good behavior he cut his sentence five years and the authorities believed that when he walked cut of San Quentln his days as an outlaw were ended. But they were mistaken. Toward the close of 1903 the authorities of Oregon were startled by the hold-up of an express train on the Oregon Railway and Navigation company's line at Mliepost No. 21, near Corbett, Oregon. A year later the Canadian Pacific's transcontinnetal express was stopped at Mission Juuelion. British Columbia, by a lone banliit. who with cold and deliberate neive com)" 11< d the express iiiessen ;er to open the safe, which contained close to SlO.nyt). Less than two years later, on May 10. 190G, at eleven o'clock in the night. Mluer and two pals robbed the transcontinental express of the Canadian Pacific railway near Durrer. B. C. For this crime he was sent for life to the penitentiary at New Westminster and at once began planniug an escape. With two companions, who were confined in the brickyard of the prison, lie tunneled to freedom an 1 nothing more was heard of him until last February, when one night a train or. the Southern railroad was hold up and the Plnkcrtons :i: once coin-hub i from the nature of the job that Old Bill Miner was at work again. They were not mistaken and a few days later Miner and two companions, his pals in the hold-up. were taken prisoners. Miner, now* sixty-nine years old. will be eighty-nine when his term of service expires, and it is probable that the end has been reached in his stormy and picturesque career.

SURELY DESERVES A MEDAL Record Act of Bravery That Is Set to Credit of Intrepid New York Man. The bravest man In New York made his appearance In a Broadway store last week. He carried an enormous bandbox which contained an enormous hat on which the man want ed what he considered an enormous amount of money refunded. The man was pretty mad and while looking for some one who had the authority tc negotiate the transaction he talked loud enough for everybody to hear. "My wife bought this hat," he said. "She doesn't need it. She has already bought three hats this spring. She paid $33 for this one. She has never worn it. It just came home last night. I can't afford to throw t|ll that money away and I want you to take the hat hack. She wouldn't bring it down, so I undertook the job myself" "By the side of that man Napoleon was a cringing coward," said the \oung woman who had made the sale. "Imagine his liouncing into a Parisian millinery shop with a hat that he didn't want Josephine to buy. He couldn't have done it. Very few men can. Once In a long while some poor New Yorker with the courage of desperation In his heart returns mer chandise which ho cannot afford tc buy for his wife and his audacity up sets the whole store for a mouth."

"Well, the sequel is raiher interest j ing The next day there were 5.00C giils at the ball game." MENTAL ACCURACY Greatly Improved by Leaving Off Coffee The manager of an extensive creamery in Wis. states that while a regular coffee drinker, he found it injurious to his health and a hindrance to the performance of his business duties. "It impaired my digestion, gave me a distressing sense of fullness In the region of the stomach, causing a most pi inful and disquieting palpitation of the heart, and what is worse, it muddied my r tal lacultic so as to seriously injure my business efficiency. "1 finally concluded that something would have to he done. 1 quit the use of coffee, short off. and began to drink Postum. The cook didn't make it right at first. She didn't boil it long enough, and I did not find it palatable and quit using it and went back to roffce and to the stomach trouble again. "Then my wife took the matter in hand, and by following the directions on the box, faithfully, she had me drinking Postum for several days befor I knew it. "When I happened to remark that I was feeling much better than I had for a long time, she told me that I had been d> inking Postum, and that accounted for it. Now we have no coffee or our table. "My digestion has been restored, and with 'his improvement has come relief from the oppressive sense of fullness and palpitation of the heart that used to bother me so. I note such a gain in mental strength and acuteness that I can attend to my office work with ease and pleasure and withou! making the mistakes that were so annoying to me while I was using coffee.

What was the Iniquity of Israel from which Hosea exhorted her to return unto the Lord? The degradation of religion into a sensual and revolting worship of idols, and the foolish and weakening separation from the i Southern Kingdom. The period was one of frightful violence and confuBion; all tica of social life were loosened; immorality, irrellgion, su| perstltion, panic and despair contributed to the common misery and ruin; i It hardly needed prophetic Insight to : foresee the inevitable end in the total . dissolution of the state. Their reliance upon Assyria for salvation instead of upon Jehovah; their reliance upon Egypt, the land of horses; their reliance upon idols, the work of their own hands. All the Inner woes of the nation sprung from : its idolatry, and all its woes from without sprung from the mischievous ; foreign alliances against which the ; prophets continually protested. Note I that this is more than a confession; It is a promise of amendment, a vow of i total abstinence from these sins. Clod nrnmlupa tn the rcnentant na ' Hon, promises for the past, forgiveness. I will heal their backsliding, that horrible disease of apostasy from the Father's love; for the present, love; I will love them freely, "without | money and without price," for what price could pay for this inestimable j blessing? for the future, ever-increasing progress and blessedness; God will be to his restored people an | enriching, stimulating, reviving dew, i causing them to throw out new branches, strike new roots deeper into I the soil, blossom in beauty and fra; grance, and bring forth fruit in abun- ! | dunce. ! What is the significance of the three comparisons used of the restored people? 1. They are to be like the lily, in its purity and beauty. 2. They are to be like Lebanon, rooted | deep in me earm, wnn iib rooinins : stretching forth like roots; or perhaps the reference is to the firmly rooted i cedars of Lebanon; at any rate the ; comparison signifies strength, which j is to be added to beauty. 3. They are j to be like the olive tree, which is not lovely as the lily but is gnarled and ! ugly; nor strong and imposing like the mountain and its great cedars, but feeble and insignificant to the eye; but it is green when other trees are bare, and it brings forth abundance of rich fruit The confident statement (whether made by Jehovah, or, as some commentators and both authorized and revised versions hold, by Ephraim himself I that Ephraim (that is, Israel, the leading tribe being put for the entire Northern Kingdom) haB nothing more to do with idols; he is through with them; they are laid away with his unhappy past. This actually happened after the exile; the returned Jews had had enough of idolatry, and never again lapsed into that sin. liosea certainly did not mean, as he is so often misunderstood to mean, that Israel was so firmly fixed In idolatry that the nation could never be moved from that iniquity. The prophet was addressing Judah, the South XT 4 1 LI.LIInrr K ?-. ? k ,AA rru r\ Jiifcuuin, auu imuuiii*, iicri iiwiu aloof from her Idolatrous neighbor and let him alone, lest she herself | contract the foul disease. The sum of wisdom, according to | Hosea, is that wisdom consists of three things: Understanding, knowing the things that Hosea had been setting forth, namely, God's dealings with his children. Understanding that God's ways are always right, straight, 1 alike when they spread themselves i out in an unbroken level for the pious, and when they oppose themselves in rocky stumbling-blocks to the un1 godly. Hosea began his warnings at the point where we feel the most pride. I Our nation Is proud of its wealth and power, but these two things lead to worldiness, which is our greatest peril. What would be the substance of Hosea's message to the nation and to each one of us? "Take with y?>u word6, and return unto the Lord." Our sins must be acknowledged, humbly before liod and rrnnKiy ueiore every one who should hear the confession for any reason. Then we are simply, lti Christ's strength, to obey Satn Jones' oft-repeated injunction, "Quit your meatmesp!" We are to "cease to do evil, learn to do well." We must turn wholly from our sin. "A certain village church possessed a fl;ie-toned bell, of which the villagers were very proud. It be< amo cracked, but a blacksmith riveted It so skilfully that the crack was invisible. The bell was rehung, but oh! the appalling discord when was rum ' ft was taken . dowu. and recast. The result was a new bell of sweeter tone than the old one.

Those that came while the lamp was burning were set free; but those that delayed till the lamp had ; gone out, or altogether neglected the invitation, met with a terrible death. Unlike this, God forever holds forth | his ofier of mercy, and his loving heart always yearns after the sinner; but with each wilful delay we harden . our hearts till at last they are fixed In the ways of sin.

I witnessed the following funny incident in one of the largest Edinburg tuction rooms. A big. stout lady, apparently of the broker class, had ensconced herself comfortably in an armchair. and in due course began bidding for a table, on which a tired-looking man, for want of something to sit upon, affectionately leaned. Competition was brisk, but In the end the table was knocked down to the stout lady, who no sooner recognized that It was now her property, than, stretching out her arm. she sharply rapped her knuckles on it, exclaiming: "Hey, man!" But the tired-looking man paid no attention, so she next poked him with her umbrella and said with greater asperity than ever: "Lean off the table, will you? It's my property, and you'll scratch it." The leaner regarded her fixedly for a moment or two. but did as requested. He did more, however, for pulling a scrap of paner from his pocket he put it under the lady's nose, with the quiet remark: "D'ye see that?" and he next Indicated a corresponding num- i ler on the armchair she was seated j on. "Well, then." he continued, when | she had acquiesced with a wondering j nod of the head, "git ofT; it's my { rhair. and I want to Bit down."

A young lady boarder in a country household lamented the absence of letter. Catching little Melba. the pet of the household, up in her arms, she said: "Precious, nobody loves me; I guess I'll go out In the garden and eat worms." The next day Miss Alice was Interrupted by a low knocking at the door. In answer to her summons, Melba pntered grasping a large chip care fully In both hands, the rhlhl said: "Miss Alice, bad old postman not bring you any letter; here's free big worms. Now you won't have to go mt in the garden." Looking Out for Number One. Sydney had been given some discarded millinery with which to amuse herself.
