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.

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.

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

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."

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.

A Blind Professor.
Last June there graduated from tbe
Sooth Carolina Co'lege a young mao
who broke all records at that institu?
tion. John Swearingen, of Edge?eld,
though blind went throogh the entire
ollege coarse and graduated at the
head cf hts class He was pronounced
by the faculty the most remarkable man
they had ever known. Upon his
graduation Mr. Swearingen went to bis
borne io Edgefield where be bas quietly
spant the summer. Now he bas been
elected a professor in the State Institu?
tion for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind at
Cedar Springs and soon enters upon
hie duties there. It is understood to
be bis purpose to save his money and
complete bis education at Harvard
Uoiverficy. He is ambitious to enter
tbe legal profession. 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?
