Swim Sour: of the Mosquito.
It was an old mosguito; he waa very,
very weak;
His voice was all a-guaver, and he found
It hard to speak.
He lit upon a victim, and he begged; "I
pray, take thought!
Consider what you’re doing ere you land
that fatal swat.
“Know that the bluest blood of all ia
flowing through my veins
(Although it moves but sluggishly now
that the summer wanes);
I’ve only sipp< d the choicest draughts thla
happy land affords—
I never quaffed the ichor of the hind who
cheaply boards.
“My Jubilant existence has been on a Joy
ous plan—
I've taken juleps from the neck of some
Kentuckian;
A maraschino tltJllaht to give me appe
tite
I’ve gotten from the magnate who plays
poker every night.
“Occasionally through the day I stooped
to common stuff;
A soupet n I'rym a cocktail slave was al
ways quite enough.
But frequently, to cool my brain that al
ways was awhirl,
I tarried on the temple of a soda water
girl.
“At night I sang my liveliest, my rolllck-
Ingest hums,
While flitting through and through th«
crowd that opens lots of Mumm's.”
(And here his Jaunty speech grew slow;
he seemed completely fagged—
The old mosquito plainly was unfortu
nately jagged.)
“And so.” he sighed, “you see that I’m •
sated connoisseur,
That never have I yearned to bite a com
mon cheek or ear.
In spite of this, however, I’m a hounded
Ishmarelite,
And everybody’s hand’s against me all
the day and night.
"I’m carbolized and gasolized and petrol-
ized and slapped
And naphthalined and benzolined and
kerosened and rapped
And sulphurized and etherized and chlor*
Idized and fillod
With fumigating vapor till at times I'm
nearly killed. •
“Yet, all I wish”—all faint and far away
his murmur seemed,
And, lulled to slumber by the song, tha
victim sweetly dreamed
Until he awakened with a start—ho
thought he felt a gaff.
There lay the dead mosquito with his
punctured autograph.

pointed a pistol at bis bead and after
taking a small amount of change said:
“You are not the man 1 am looking
for.”
Reilly saw a tall man with a slouch
bat who answered the description of
the highwayman, lie followed him into
a saloon, where he watched the man
take a drink. As the stranger stepped
out of the door the detective stopped
him and said: >
“1 want to see you.”
“Who tire you?” demanded the man.
“1 u.u a police officer,” shid Reilly,
showing him his badge. “You will
have to go with me to the station
house. A man was held up here last
night, and you answer the description
of the fellow who did the job.”
Detective Reilly took the man by the
arm and was walking down the street
with him toward the police station
when his prisoner suddenly drew a re
volver and shot at his neck, exclaim
ing, “You will never take me in alive!”
The detective was stunned for a mo
ment and fell against the fence. The
bullet bad struck his double lined cel
luloid collar.
The highwayman ran. Reilly, who
had recovered his senses, drew his re
volver and shouted:
“I'll have a shot at you anyway!”
He tired four shots, but the burglar
kept close to the trees on the avenue
and escaped, running In the direction
of the railroad tracks.
Reilly was taken to the Mount Ver
non hospital, where his wound was
dressed.
When hls celluloid collar was taken
off it was found that It had a hole
through It. The hospital surgeons said
that if It had not been for hls collar
Reilly would have been killed.
The highwayman was said to have
been a member of a gang of burglars
that had been looting homes on Long
Island sound.
Detective Reilly Is known as one of
the l ravest men on the Mount Vernon
force. For seven years he was a mem
ber of the United Slates cavalry and
took part in many Indian battles under
General Nelson A. Miles.
He captured the leader of an Indian
massacre, for which General Miles pro
moted him to first sergeant.
When Reilly went to Mount Vernon
and applied for a position as policeman
he was without friends. He worked as
gardener, and after passing a 99 per
cent examination for the police depart
ment General Miles wrote the board of
police commissioners:
“I know of no braver man for the
position of policeman in the city of
Mount Vernon than Sergeant Reilly,
formerly of the United States cavalry.”
A general alarm sent out by Ser
geant Grant of the Mount Vernon po
lice force* read:
“Arrest a man about five feet ten
Inches In height, weighing about 100
pounds, with a blond mustache and
full face, dressed In a dark blue suit
and wearing a large soft gray hat. He
Just ahot a policeman.”

Letter to John Pettit.
Gaffney, S. C.
Dear Sir: You buy your horse
shoes and nails; your grandfather, if
he was a blacksmith, made ’em. You
can’t afford to hammer them out by
hand, when you can buy as good, or
better perhaps, ready made to your
hand, for a little more than the cost
of the iron.
What do you think of a painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and
white-lead, and mixing, and tinting by
hand, and charging his time for work
that is far better-done than he can do
it. done by machinery, done as your
horseshoes and nails are made.
Mistake isn’t it?
He is wasting his chance in the
world. There is no better stuff to do
business with than good horseshoes
and paint: and no better work than
putting them on. Good horseshoes
well put on: It’s the putting ’em on
that makes you a blacksmith: no mat
ter who makes ’em.
Who wants to go back to old times,
and make his own horseshoes?
Between us two. that painter don’t
know how to make good paint—he
used to; but paint has run away from
him.
