Erastus Penny, who accumulated a Ipk modest fortune years ago in the town of p"f" ; Bunker by farming and money loaning on improved real estate, was not renownj?2f|' ed for his generosity as a giver. g|i-: Two years before the great mortgagee death, foreclosed upon him he was the owner of a yellow dog. &' This dog had been a tramp, but one day - while paying an informal call at the farm it had evidently discovered in Mr. Penny some agreeable qualities that had escaped *the observation of his neighbors and promptly adopted him. The process of i getting something for nothing, even in the case of a yellow dog, invariably appealed with power to farmer Penny, and he graciously permitted himself to be adopted. . In a few months the yellow dog was the talk of the neighborhood. He worried ducks, killed chickens, stampeded r calves and even throttled sheep. ... On Christmas morning as the Rev. Abijah Jones, who lived half a mile away, tons shoveling a path through the snow a?.; t between the parsonage and the road Farm?,1er Penny drove up with the yellow dog his hntrcrv. ! "Merry Christmas, Brother Jones!", lie cried cherrily a few moments later as he led the dog Into the yard. "The same to you, Brother Penny," j was the hearty reply. "Waal, parson," continued Farmer Penny, "this bein' Christmas I thought Td remember ye. Knowin' ye was powerful fond of animals I've brought ye a dog." "Thank you, sir, thank you," cried the astonished and dismayed minister, who knew the yellow dog by reputation. "This present of yours calls to my mind more forcibly than ever before the truth of the Biblical saying that 'it is more blessed to give than to receive.'" President Roosevelt has received the V following letter from a Georgia negro S;v . preacher r Honorable T.

Tomb of Zachary Taylor. "Z. Taylor. Died 1850." That is the inscription on the tomb of Zachary Taylor, twelfth president of the United States. A correspondent who recently visited the tomb of "Old Rough and Ready" says for over half a century it has lacked the carc of a kindly hand and is fast falling into decay. The tomb lies five miles from Louisville and is off the road. Ivy riots over the weatherbeaten blocks of granite. The fastenings on the door are red with rust. So far as is known no key has turned the lock for fifty years. Visitors are rare. It is doubtful if half a dozen tourists visit the tomb during a twelvemonth. And this neglected spot is the last resting place of the hero of the Black Hawk and Florida Wars.

Old Time \'Bandit 'Bloody Deeds- qf Tibxtrcio Vasqxtex In Californicfe Early Day** For Oxter Gboenly year* He and HU Gang qf Out tabu* &error St<xt+~His Heath. Second only In name and achievements to Joaquin Mnrieta in the history of California highwaymen stands Tlburcio Vasquez, who was born at Monterey in 1839. Vasquez was a hybrid, half Indian, coarse, treacherous, brutish. When he was barely fifteen the boy became involved in a quarrel with an American over a pretty Mexican girl. It was at a danca, and the town constable, likewise an American, interfered to stop the quarrel. Vasquez turned THE OUTLAW SHOT MABTEI DEAD. upon the officer lite a flash, stabbed him to death and rushed from the dance halh^ He fled to the mines at Sonora, where many of his countrymen had gone and which bad already beI come a favorite refuge for Mexican ! outlaws. In 1857 he was captured, but nothing beyond horse stealing could be proved against him. He war sent to the state prison at San Quentin for five years. On Aug. 17, 1873, occurred one of the blackest tragedies connected with Vasquez's long career as a criminal leader, when be, with six companions, robbed Snyder's store at Tres Pinos. The store was a stage and post office and supplied a sparsely settled country on the road from and to San Francisco and the southern mines. Besides the store Tres ? ?n ? jriuus uunaitru a siuaii nwucu uvici, a stable for the stage teams and a blacksmith shop. Why Vasquez and his fellows wanted to sack this insignificant station does not seem clear unless it was that the opportunity was offered when the mood was on them. At 7 o'clock in the evening two Mexicans arrived at the store, riding in from the direction of Panoche valley and the New Idra mines. Dismounting, they entered and engaged the clerk in conversation. In a few minutes five others and among them Yasquez rode up. With no preliminary confusion and apparently acting in accordance with a prearranged plan the leader and two of his companions took up their stations outside to command the road while the others joined the two already in the store. There were half a dozen men in the store?teamsters, miners and the clerk, John Utzerath?when a quick transformation scene was enacted by the four Mexicans. From idle gossips they turned suddenly to fierce, well armed desperadoes, brandishing guns and ordering the Americans to throw away their arms and lie down on the floor to be bound. There was no question of resisting. The six men obeyed the order promptly. While the four robbers on the inside were gutting the store in a systematic fashion those on guard outside were alert and active. A Portuguese sheep herder named Martin came up to the store. Vasquez saw his approach and called out to him in English to stop. But Martin could not understand and, knowing nothing of the business going forward in the store, started to enter. The outlaw leader's second warning was a pistol shot, and the poor, ignorant sheep herder fell with a bullet in his brain. A Mexican from within came to the door to know why the shot had been fired, but Vasquez waved him back, calling out that it was nothing. A freight teamster named Haley was the next to arrive. As he drove in front of the store and climbed down from his wagon Vasquez came suddenly upon him and ordered him, with a curse, to lie down and be tied. But the order did not appeal to Haley's reason. He began to argue the point, and the hot blooded bandit swung the butt of his big pistol against the teamster's head, bringing him down in a senseless lump. m i ? "Curse the ttupid fool," raged Vaaquez. "I should have killed him." The reckless, devil's mood was on him. Following close after Haley came George Bedford, another teamster. He I was quite-deaf and did not hear Tasquez's command to prostrate himself, but he saw that trouble was afoot and ran toward the stage stable..'As be ran Vasquee's two companions began to fire. Their shots went wild, however, and Bedford bad almost gained the door of the stable wbea the leader turned and killed him with a ballet through the back. The shooting of Bedford had been seen by Scherrer, the blacksmith, whose shop stood near the stable. He thought there was to be a wholesale slaughter and determined to warn the hotel keeper, Davidson, of his danger. Leaving his shop, be made a dash for the open door of the hotel, with the Mexicans firing at him. But he gained the shelter of the hotel unharmed, crying to Davidson, 'Shut the door quick r Vasquez, too, had seen the open door of the hotel and had called out, with an oath, to have it closed. "Shut that I J M ?- - J < {? r,I uwr, utr Buuuuu, suu it suut. Then you won't be hurt!" But there was some delay, and as Davidson came forward to obey the order Vasquez rushed across to hasten the action by firing through the paneL The bullet tore through the thin wooden door and struct the hotel keeper square in ] the breast, killing him instantly. i The death of Davidson ended the I awful carnival of murder. The phm- 1 derers in the store finished their work. , The outlaws then made their escape, i In a short time, however, Vasquez was hunted out of Monterey county, , and late in 1873 the tax collector of i Los Angeles met him on a mountain road. Now, Maddigan, the collector, was an efficient man despite his informal methods. In the matter of poli taxes it was his custom to gather them when and where he could. As Vasquez , came up to him, a complete stranger to i the collector, Maddigan held dp his hand to stop him. "Good morning," began the collector. "I don't seem to remember your face, sir. Maybe you've not paid your poll tax. Is it so?" The outlaw, surprised at the question, admitted that the little Irishman was right, after returning a civil salutation. "Then maybe you'll pay the tax to me now," said the collector, a peremptory note in his voice. "Is it so? It'll be $2." t , "Very well, friend," Vasquez answered, smiling. He gave over the money, and Maddigan scrawled on a receipt blank the date and amount, signed it, then looked up to ask: "What was the name you said, sir?" "Vasquez," came the smiling answer. "Tiburcio Vasquez. Shall I spell it for you, senor?" For Maddigan's hand had fallen limp from the book, and his eyes had opened to a wide, terrified stare. But he recovered his nerve, filled in the blank and gave over the receipt Vasquez laughed at the little man's terror and, with a cheerful "Adios, sen or," rode on. i From Los Aneelea Vasquez in De cember, 1873, led a party of twelve outlaws north Into Fresno county, where they pillaged the little mining town of Kingston. Then followed oth- er raids not so successful. The sheriff of Los Angeles county took up the chase in grim earnest, and Vasquez fled early in 1874 to his old retreat near Monterey. The fL'ght south was discovered, and the Los Angeles sheriff was notified. It was learned that Vasquez was quar YASQUE2 BAISED HIS HAND. tered at Greek George's. A watch was apt nn thp hnnsp. and one day the offi cers came upon him while the bandit was at dinner. Vasquez saw the officers enter the house and, knowing that ( the doors were guarded, jumped through a window of the dining room. . He ran for the stable, where a horse Btood saddled, but a shot from one of the sheriff's posse stopped him with a shattered leg. Throwing up his hands in sign of surrender, he dragged himself forward to meet his captors. To them he said as they disarmed him: "Boys, you have done your work well. I have been a fool!" The reign of Vasquez was over. His band was broken and scattered. Vasquez was sent to a prison hospital, from which he was taken and hanged at San Jose on March 19, 1875.
