IB A BLAZE OF GLORY THE DRAMATIC EXIT OF OLD CAP FROM LIFE'S STAGE. Be Lived a Wild Idte and Wanted a Wild Beata, and He Summoned a Wild Audience to See Him Do Hi? Vinal Wild Act. "The longing for the center of the ?tage exists not only in the centers of . civilization," -said a man^who had gone west? made his: pile in mining and % come back to enjoy himself. "You'll ind it up iii the Rockies among the Joardest, toughest citizens that ever dandled a pick or shot a bear. The melodramatic instinct is mighty strong in most mea, and the glare of the cal? cium is eagerly sought after by many - who won't admit it I knew an old man out tn Arizona some years ago ^w&o was one of this kind. He was about the most 'don't give a darn* cuss X ever knew. He lived up in the moun? tains, about ten miles back of Tucson, all by himself . *Hov lie managed to live I never Jrnew, but he seemed contented. His evtl deeds never seemed to worry him any, and the Lord knows his record was black enough. He had been a great gun fighter in his time, and even - ?afhe days I speak of it wouldn't do to reread on his toes. He loved to tell of piis wild life, and the frankness with ??wfcieb he related his somewhat ques? tionable escapades' made him an excel entertamer if you didn't happeu to feel squeamish. Squeamishness isn't ;" a common fault out that way, and everybody knew and liked Old Cap -*;2hat?3 what they called nim-except ?ew who had been in trouble with : 2?m at one time or another, fj ? ;*?pw, no one ever thought that Old ^??p was spectacular. He was the last ? man on earth who would be thought ^kely: to want the center of the stage hfor any of his. stunts. But he did, and ?^e climax bf his life was more pyro technical than any man's I ever got mixed* up with. He certainly did go out in a blaze of glory. It all happen? ed abom: seven years ago. I was in Tucson. A lot of us boys were sitting arjound in front of a ginmill one after : noon, just talking about things in gen? eral Our horses were tied in the yard - at the back. It was a mighty fine day, Jast warm enough for solid comfort out of doors, and with thc-sky as clear as absolute dryness could make it. It was one of these days, you know, v Wnen yx?u throw -your chest out and congratulan? yourself on being alive. -As I was saying, we all sat on easy -wieker chairs, talking and whittling I reekon, when down the street came a lO^year-eld boy riding a broncho. We Teeognized him as a youngster who Myed a couple of miles this side of Old Cap's ?n the same trail. He rode right mx^wiere we were sitting and rolled ?ff his horse, with his eyes a-popping and his breath a-panting. iy^fWh&fa the matter, bub? asked a taff Tex?i?, who was in the party. '" 'Old Cap says f come right up f lois place right off an fetch all th' men 'y?rkin git. Th' Injuns Ls comic ? k "The Indians were always liable to bust loose and do something nobody snspecteil; so we got our horses out in a'Jiffy and started up the trail to save Old Cap. There were about a dozen of jos, and we had our Winchesters and six 'shooters with us. When we got near to Old Cap's we slowed up a bit and began to look pretty sharp for Indians, but not a sign of a redskin could we - see. 4* 'We'll be in time, boys,' said the Texan, who was leading the band. 'Ef we get'to Old Cap's cabin we kin stand off a pretty smart lot' "Old Cap's cabin was situated in a clearing off the trail around a bend, with high rocks hiding it until you came out in the open. We reached the turn in safety and swept around it at full gallop. There we saw, first of all, the ?little cabin looking as snug as usual, and then we noticed Old Cap sitting astride a keg about ten feet in front of his door. His big, gray som? brero was cocked to one side, and the red scarf about his neck gave him the look of a stage hero of the plains. He bad heard our horses' hoofs beating the rocky trail before we wheeled into view, and he was ready for us. Wait? ing until we had come within 75 yards of him, he lifted his hat and moved it above his bead with a hoarse, wild yell As I think of ,it now it sounded like the cry of a madman. Then be reached into his pocket and drew forth a match. This he drew carefully across a rock which was within reach of the keg upon which he sat and saving it from the breeze until it was safely lighted he opened his legs and dropped it between them. "There was a yellow puff of smoke tinged with a flash of red, and then a terrific roar. Old Cap's body flew sky? ward, and when it came down it didn t look like a human being's. He had been sitting on a keg Of powder and lad deliberately blown himself up. Punny thing for a man to do, wasn't it? Old Cap apparently got tired of life and decided to kill himself. He wanted an audience. So he sent the kid out to drum one up. He got what be wanted, but it wasn't a very sympa? thetic one. Men don't go much on gush out there, and the Texan was a little sore about the trick we'd had played onus. He helped to straighten out the corpse, and then he sat down on a bowlder and gazed at it " 'Well,' he said finally. *he certainly <3id give himself a good send off!' And the rest of the gang guffawed loud enough to start the echoes down the valley. "But it was all pretty human when you come to think of it Old Cap had the center of the stage when the cur? tain dropped, and his audience then proceeded to forget him."-Chicago In? ter Ocean.

SEPTEMBER 27.1899 New Series-Vol. XIX. No. 9 A Woman's M?nlT. Of course you know the story pf the woman who heard two men at a hoteJ table discussing her very impertinent? ly in German, whereupon she very po? litely asked one of them for the salt in German. It's a very old story, and. sometimes the language is French, and the salt is left out, but the story is the same, and goodness only knows how many writers, from Howells up and from Howells down, have told it with variations. So old it is that when a woman I know began to tell it to me the other day as a personal experience I felt the joy that one feels at meeting anew an old friend. "I was in a car," she began, "and two men sat opposite me. Of course I knew they were talking about me. I'd have known it even if they had been speaking Sanskrit, which they weren't They were gossiping in Ger? man. I stood it as long as J. could, an l then I dropped my purse. One of the men instantly picked it np. -Thank you,' I said in German. My dear, if you could have seen those men's faces! They didn't say another word for six Moots." "But what were they saying about yon?" "Oh," said she cheerily, "I haven't an idea. I don't know one word of German but 'Thank you.' " And I wonder if the woman in the story who asks for the salt-well, per? haps her request, too, was what in the vernacular one calls a bluff.--Washing ton Star. A Marriage Fee. A clergyman of Georgia was once standing in the courthouse when ? Hoosier came in to see the ordinary in order to procure a marriage license. The countryman asked for "a pair of licenses," and on making the purchase necessary to being united in the holy bonds of matrimony inquired of the ordinary, "Who can I git to marry mer The ordinary replied that he could perform the ceremony, or the parson, standing near, would probably accom? modate him. The countryman turned to the parson and asked if he would marry him. The parson readily con? sented and asked the would be bride? groom, "Where's, your gal?" He replied, "Out yonder-in the street" The parson said, "Fetch her in." , Then she was "fotch" in and the "knot tied." The bridegroom asked the parson the amount of indebtedness incurred and was told that no charge was made, but that he always left the matter for the bridegroom to decide. The latter replied: "I've got no mon? ey. I've got a load of punkins out yon? der. I'll, give you a punkin."-Homi? letic Review. Pat'? Reasoning:. Some years ago an Irishman named Pat Noonan had a vegetable stand in one of the city markets. Pat was a chronic kicker. One day; he was com? plaining to the superintendent of the market that the rent of his stall was altogether too high, and after giving various reasons why it should be ma? terially reduced, he wound up by sol? emnly declaring that he was losing at least 51,000 a year. .iWelL Pat, if thafs the case," said the superintendent dryly, "I'd advise you to sell out and quit the business at once. You certainly can't afford to keep on if you are running behind $1, 000 a year." "Sure, an I know it," said Pat philo? sophically. "The business is ruinin me intirely, but I moight ez well sthick to it now that I'm at it I've got to do somethin to make a livin. an if I quit sellin cabbages an praties an start at some other thrade I moight be afther losin more yet I dunno." The superintendent concluded to low? er Mr. Xoonan's rent and allow him to remain in the vegetable business. New York World. Xo Wonder It Pained. A tender hearted old woman noticed a horse with a broad rubber band stretched around its leg just above th? hoof. She asked the waiting driver of the cab why it was there and suggest? ed that it was more than cruel to place it on the animal. "Yes. mum," replied the cabby, "if.; painful to the horse, no doubt, but that is not the worst of it It's the getting of it on that pains the poor thing. Why, we had to stretch the band and pull it over the horse's head and down all his body to get it on." "For the land's sake alive!" exclaim? ed the woman and walked away hor? rified-Chicago Inter Ocean. Tactful Mesnenprer Boy. "One of the beautiful traits in tho make up of Washington messenger boys," said a railroad man who liv?s in Washington, "is their tactfulness." I think otherwise. They are chock full of and loaded down with tact-with the copper on. To illustrate: "My wife went over to New York a few weeks ago to attend the bedside of a seriously ill relative, who was not expected to live. This morning I was sitting in my office, wondering why I hadn't got a letter from her by the first mail, when a tousle headed messenger boy joggled open the door. "'Where'll ? find de office o' Mr. -?" he asked, mentioning my name. " 'Right here, son,' said I. 'You're talking to him.' " 'Well,' said the kid. measuring me up, with the probable expectation that I'd do a stage back fall. I've got a death message fer you. an they tole me at th' office that it was important' "Nice, mild, tactful way of putting it, wasn't it? He just left it up to me to wonder, while I was ripping the en? velope open, whether the message an? nounced the death of our aged relative or the decease of my wife. It happen? ed to be the former, but I am inclined to believe- that that boy would have been just a bit better pleased had it been the latter."-Washington Post The first duty of a real man Is to do his real duty first.-Kansas City Star. UTILIZING THE GOUT. It Has Power to Soothe the Man With a Cracked Shoe. "Every now and then," said a man of moderate means, "something hap? pens to remind me that t am only a novice in the art of life. For instance, my shoes were wearing out, and in one of them there was an ugly crack in the top. If there is one thing more dis? turbing to me than another, it is the sight of a shoe on one of my feet with a hole in the top. But I had not the money wherewith to buy another pair, and, though it may seem ridiculous, I couldn't very well spare the quarter that it would cost for a patch, to say nothing of the fact that a patched shoe is little less unsightly in my eyes than one with a hole in it "Walking, in this predicament, one day, I met a friend, whose means, so far as I knew, were little, if any, great? er than my own. He now had in the top of one of his trimly blacked shoes a carefully cut round hole. Since I had last seen him he had apparently pros? pered enough to have got the gout, a fact on which I ventured to comment. " 'Why,' he said, 'you can get precise? ly the same kind of gout with a pair of shears/ And then he smiled. He always was blithe and gay, no matter what betided. "Well when I got home I enlarged that hole in the top of my shoe to the size and respectability of a gout open? ing, and now, when I go down in the morning on the elevated, I don't hold that foot with the broken shoe curled under the seat, back of the other ankle, as though I had a curious habit that way, but I place it boldly out in front, and I read the paper with the air of a man who is going down town with his surplus interest money to take a little flier in stocks."-Chicago Inter Ocean. AWED BY THE AUTHORS. Bat By and By Mr. Williams Got OTer His Timidity. Some day perhaps Jesse Lynch Wil? liams may follow his book of newspa? per stories with some sketches of mag? azine office life. He has had experi? ences, and he can write them. Here is one of them: "When I. first went to Scribner's Magazine," he said, "I was a walking interrogation point. The editor would toss a letter across the table just like a common piece of paper, saying: 'Here's a letter from Kipling. It's -all right' It might as well have been a note from bis tailor. "I stood by and shivered at the sac? rilege. And the typewriters! They would pound out letters to Meredith, Stockton, James. Howells and Kip? ling just as they might have done to me, without changing a feature or missing a punctuation mark, and I marveled at their nerve. One day a stout, middle aged man brushed by me in the office. We begged each other's pardon. " 'Hold on a minute,' called the edi? tor. 'I want to speak to you, Howells.' " 'Is that Howells?' I asked the office boy. " 'Sure.' " 'Mr. Howells?' " 'Yes.' " 'Mr. W. D. Howells? u 'Cert.' '"Mr. William Dean Howells?' " 'The same.' "And I softly caressed the sleeve that the novelist had brushed against as if it had been touched by a saint But after awhile the feeling of awe wore of?. We deal in authors. That's our business." - Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post A Coincidence. "Are you superstitious?" said one young lady to another in a confidential chat/ "2s o ; that is, I never was until yes? terday. A very strange thing occurred to a friend of mine then, and now I do not know whether I am supersti? tious or not. It happened in this way: She and I were sitting in her room, and she was telling me the details of her marriage engagement, which had been broken off that very day. While she was talking she raised her left arm and threw it over the back of the chair where she was sitting, and as she did so a heavy link bracelet fell to the floor. It was her engagement brace? let and had been locked on her arm for more than a year. How or why it came unfastened I do not know." Detroit Free Press. Kansas Husbands. A woman takes great consolation in thinking that some day when she is laid in the cold, cold ground her hus? band will wish he had her back to tell her how sorry he is that he treated her so mean. She imagines him weeping over the sod and wishing he could see her, if only for a moment, to ask her forgiveness. But he will not appear in such a scene. On the contrary, he will probably be chasing after some other woman.-Atchison Globe. Bis Money. One of the largest and most cumber? some forms of money is found in Cen? tral Africa, where the natives use * cruciform ingot of copper ore over 10 inches long. It is heavy enough to be a formidable weapon. Difficulties. "There is some one giving away the facts concerning our secret proceed? ings!" exclaimed one official "But we haven't really done any? thing." "Of course. And that's the damag? ing fact which has been divulged." Washington Star. The wheat of Mexico amounts in value to nearly $30.000,00< a year. The rice crop is worth $0,000,000. Ten mil? lion dollars' worth of beans are grown each year, for beans form a staple arti? cle of diet among the peasants.

All who know bim feel sure that a brilliant future awaits bim.-The State, Sept. 22. For corroboration of some things the State bas been saying about cot? ton recently, look at the market reports printed today. The southern mills hold the lever which is lifting the cotton world at this time, and it is a proud day tor the sooth when this is the case. It can now folly realize its power and set to work to increase it. The value of a moderate crop is also exhibited. Cotton is nearly one third higher than it was a year ago, and the rise isn't ended yet. This crop was made on a five cents basis and those fanners who have been so fortocate as to escape the drought and make a fair crop are going to have profits Even the drought stricken will not suffer if the price continues to advance. At present prices Sooth Carolina ie $4, 000,000 better off than it woold have been with the same crop at last Sep? tember's figores.-State. ATLANTIC COAST LINE North-Eastern R. R. of S.
