Had too muoh money? wnat ao
you mean?"
WelL tou see. one was a carpenter
and the other a grocery clerk, and they
wanted to do things m what tney called 'systematic business style.' The carpenter said a town would be built if the mines were good, and so he took a fall kit of tools and kegs of nails, bolts, bars of steel, vise, and a full blacksmith outfit, and loading 'em in a wagon,
while the grocery fellow took six months' grub for all the workmen he thought we'd need for building a good part of the town, and for the miners on
our mines. Xney said it was oetter to buy these necessary things where they were cheap, so they bought abont $1,500
worth of this kind of true oesiaes min

toll on that batrcaire-wagon than I
would have wanted for my season's

"What did yon do when you got to
Bico?"
"We never got to Bico," "Whvnot?"
"The main reason was that there
wasn't no wagon road at that time, and
I told em so before we left Denver, DM
they said one would be bmlt by the
time we got to Unnison, or if not, we could cut oc way through or else go
to Gothic. I kinder got stuck atter
those fellers, they were so liberal ; spent their money freely and let me cook the grab, and so I just pick-nicked with
them all summer, and lost the waoie
camps, and the winter gets mighty long in such places." "But do all old prospectors spend their money as fast as they get it?" "No, some has families, and that keeps 'em down to hard pan, and when they git a good stake they fixes the folks and generally quit the mountains. These fellers make better bargains for prospects, and hold on and develop 'em into pay mines, and yon wonld be astonished to know how many fellers have got good ranches or are in good paying business nil over the country

appointments and sees labor and money
A Ticket Seller's Experiences. "Ticket selling at a union railway
office is not an inspiringocoupation, Out it is full of opportunities for the study of human nature, and prolific of interesting experiences." The speaker was a veteran ticket seller. He continued :
"One day an old man came up to the counter with an infirmity of purpose apparent. He looked like a fifty year old sinner glossed ovsr with twenty
years of piety. 'Cap, I want you to do
me a favor, no said ; xt s nineteen years since I beat a conductor on the Sladison road out of the fare from Seymour
to IndianaDolis. I was to have paid
him when I got into this depot (it's the
same one, 1 see,) but tue old inick got into me and I jumped off at the freight depot, and shortly afterwards I went to Missouri Tisn't' often a man gets re
ligion out there, but when he does it
fetches him to right brisk. I lined the
Methodist myelin house long bout iu, and ever since then, that stolen ride on
the Madison road has been a lamp of fire on my conscience. This is the first
time 1 ve ever been back nere and i
want to pay vou that faro with interest," and the grizzly old fellow put
down $4,60. The fare was $2.3a then,
at is only 81.75 now.) I never saw
mnnav mid out so oheerfullv. I en
closed the money in an envelope and
forwarded it to an official of the comtanv. with an explanatory note. The
latter never acknowledged the receipt of the same, and I very much doubt
whether the stockholders received increased dividends tlierofrom; but still the old man's conscenoe was eased.
A full grown man, wild with fear that
he wouldn't catch the train that was just pulling out, ran up to my connlef, once, frantically slapped down 5.25, the exact fare to Chicago, and called for a ticket Before I conld give him

"It is a verv common thing for pas
sengers to ask if our clock is right, and whether the clock runs on railroad time or city time. One day a train was delayed waiting for connections. The passengers, one by one, -got out of the
cars, came to tne ticKet omce and rsked why the train didn't start "It's raining," we answered, and they went back satisfied; finally one countryman
came m and told us that tue snower
was over, and lie dian t see no use
waitin' for the track to dry.' A well dressed young lady was content and thankful for the information that 'the
1 o'clock train leaves at 12 :60.' She
had asked what time the 1 o'clock train
departed, and similar querries are of daily occurrence. 'Is that my train
there? ask ad a woman. "Yes."
"Will it back up here to the waiting
room?"
"No. vou will have to go to it; when
we get our new depot built we will have tracks in the waiting room, and automatic hoistew to lift passengers into the coaches, but unfortunately madam, until then, you will have to walk out to your train." Men and women who are sensible and cool enough about other things sometimes become frantic . while traveling. The head of a family who fought all through the War with distinc
tion, lost his head m this depot one day; sent his baggage east, hurried his wife on board a north bound train, and himself ran half a square to catch the west bound express. It was twenty-four hours before all of them got back here ready for a new start, and then the old man concluded that the only safe way to travel was to "stay at home." Indianapolis News.

Modern Apprenticeship. The Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad Company has taken a step toward the practical solution of the apprenticeship question. An order has been issued establishing a technological school at Mount Glare, Baltimore, "for the promotion of a higher course of instruction fpr the apprentices than that now pursued," with the view of affording the young men in its employ opportunities for obtaining a liberal technical education far superior to those enjoyed By employes of other railroads. All apprentices are embraced under the following general des-gnations, and graded into three classes : The first oi junior class of apprentices, the second
class of cadets, and tue third or senior class of cadet officers. The company bears the expense of education of the apprentices and cadets, and in consideration thereof expects the privilege of availing itself of their services, at fair salaries, for at least three years after graduation. From the day of their admission to the school tho apprentices and cadets are to receive pay ns follows : The apprentices, 70 cents a day in the first year, 80 cents in the second, 90 cents in the thii-d, and $1 per day in the fourth year ; the cadet, $1 per day in the first yesrs, $1.12 J in the second, and $1.25 per day in the third year; the cadet officers, $1.50 per day in the first year, $1.75 in the seoond, and $2 per day in the third year. In their appointment to the school preference is to be given, other things being equal, to the sons of employes being killed or injured in the company's service, and free tuition is given to those only who are the sons of employes having been in tho service of the company for five consecutive years. They must pass a l.oaivl of examiners as to proficiency in elementary studied and soundness of health, and are nubjnot during the years of study to rigid discipline and frequent examinations.

BOOK-STEALING.
The Depredations of Literary Kelptoma-
niacs. "That book will cost -you 93, sir,"
said a clerk in a Market-street bookstore politely, but with an incisive tone
that showed he was not 10 oo trinew
with, to a young man whom he surprised recently iua remote corner, where ho had been lingering long over
a case of handsomely-bound volumes.
The young man was wall dressed and
of gentlemanly appearance, and was
evidently near-sisnted. ne gianeeu up hurriedly, his face colored, and his eyes, in spite of the friendly mask of a pair
of gold-rimmed glasses, betrayed con-
union and chagrin. Then he drew from tho pocket of his
satin-faced overcoat a handsome copy
of Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy. With a face that would have afforded Burton an excellent study, he thumbed the volume a moment, mumbled that
the binding didn't exactly suit him, and
left the store with more speed man dignity. "1 liad been watching him for twenty minutes," said the clerk. "Steal it? Of course he intended to steal it. You have no idea of the number of books that are stolen by apparently respectable people from the shelves of- stores and libraries." "I suppose hundreds of books are stolen from ns every year," said Mr, Stuart, manager of Leary's bookstore on Ninth street one day. "In many cases the thieves are never caught. Frequently when they are detected they are found to be people of such good social standing that we mercifully permit them to settlo the affair without the mortification of a public prosecution. This fellow Matthews, who was held for trial only recently, had taxed my patience too far and I had him arrested. I see that he claims to be a dentist and says he had been on a spree and didn't know what he was doing. I am quite certain, on the other hand, that he has been taking books from here for the last three weeks. "You will probably remember the case of the Rev. Mr. Meredith, who was convicted of stealing books from hero
about two years ago. He used to come
down here to writo his sermons. He
sat up there in the gallery among the theological works, to which he often referred during his writing. We noticed one day that the theological shelves were gradually, thining out.
Such volumes as 'Schaff s Commentaries ,' 'Cruden's Concordance,' 'Bax
ter's Saints' Best," and 'The Godly
Lii'e' had mysteriously disappeared. Wo nlaced a watch upon the writer of
sermons, and finally caught him in the
act of taking home several valuable ac-
ceEsions to his theological library, ne was tried and convicted before Judge Yerkes, but sentence was suspended and never imposed. "The audacity of this bibliomaniac was unparalleled. He used to actually take books from here, use them a while, erase the blue mark and then, when he wanted money, bring them back to me and try and sell them for cadi. He is the same gentleman who created a great sensation by preaching a sermon at Dr. Magoon's church, which was afterwards alleged to be a piece of very precise rjlaffiarism.
"Unite recently I detected a case of
systematic sneak-thieving, which had been going on for months. If I should
give yon the name of the offender yon
would be astonished. Hb is one of
Philadelnhia's most respected citizens.
Ho battled us for a long time, simply
because 1 thought him above suspicion.
Finally a clerk hinted to me that this
gentleman was responsible for the re
cent disappearance of many valuable
books. 'I miss a volume every time he leaves the store,' said the clerk. 'Impossible,' said I. 'He cannot be the
man.'
"I placed a watch upon his movements . however, and detected him the
very next time he came into the store, he
settled the mr.tter with us, and in consideration of his high reputation in the community we did not prosecute him.
We caught a fellow a month or two ago
who was gradually accumulating
whole set of Washington lrving's works
by carrying out one at a time, in the hope that it would not be missed. He had secured 'The Sketch Hook' and the Alhambra, but wo dropped on him
just as he was getting away with 'Knickerbocker's History.' He was taking them out by the common pro
cess known as 'sub-eoat-tailing." Mnny ijeoole who would not take a penny
belonging to another will steal books with apparent impunity. I know men
to whom I would not hesitate to sell a
bill of goods, men whom I would trust
with my watch and my pocket-book,
but I would not trust them five minutes
behind the shelves of this store.
"Experience tells me that a man
whose tastes are literary and whose means are limited will always bear
w tolling in a bookstore, especially if he is a frecinent visitor. One of the
most annoying experiences it to find
that some literary sneak-thief has ta on one of a set or series of some rare
edition which is not easily replaced.
In this way I have recently had costly
sets of Shakspeare, (Jarleton, and lius
kin made wholly unsalable.
"Books are frequently ruined in an
other way. Some of those kleptoma
niacs have a penchant for the handsome
steel engravings and portraits tliat
often adorn a frontispiece. They take
a book from the shelf, insert a wet string between tho front leaves and then quietly replace it. In fifteen or
twenty minutes the string has so mois
tened tho paste that the entire leaf can
be removed without tearing it or mak-

The Italian Peasant. Life beneath an Italian sky is popularly imagined to be a pleasing form of
existence. Such, however, does not appear to be invariably the case. Day laborers who possess nothing are the majority of tho inhabitants; they amount in Piedmont to one-fifth of the population. The landlords are habit-! nail)' absentees, taking no interest whatever in thoir tenants, in return for which they have excluded almost every man of means from the list of councilors a,t the communal elections. The townspeople deride and despise country lolks, and are looked upon by them as proud and selfish. In Novara the farm laborer is said "to contend with every species of privation from the cradle t o the grave." His infancy is passed in the care of stnmgers or rolling in the mud; at 7 years old he receives a few months per year of schooling, and passes the remainder in tending goats; at 10 he already gains some
small wages ; at 12 he sleeps away from home and is regularly employed, and at
15 he undertakes tlie hardest of farm
ork. The men rise in summer at 2 a. i.. in winter at 4 a. m., awakened by
beating a stick on an empty box; in the former season they work from twelve to fifteen hours per day. When ill the
hospital receives them; when old and
unfit for work they aro forsaken and
unenred for. Yet the peasants seldom take to begging, even when deprived of all resources. Girls take part in field work at the age of 14 or
15. At niprnt they eaten irogs and nsu

women, old at 40. decrepit at 50. with
beu ( backs and bronzed faces. Many families lead a nomadic life. Every Michaelmas their household goods,

CAPT. W. I COUCH. Clarke understand from what Lamar sstd on this point tliat the position of the administration is that it is not subject to immediate set'ioment under the land laws. The questio i of the occupancy c Oklahoma by the eattle men was then rained. Capt. Couch informed the Secretary of the location of the ranches, the amount of land occupied, and the names of the persons oscnpjing it. He also told Mr. Lamar that the' cattlemen w. re allowed to pass bv the military on a pass from any of the cattle kings, and that anybody connected with tho cattle companies was allowed to pass in and out of the Territory without question. Cupt. Couch said thotthe settlers thought that if they were to be excladed became the administration took the view that thfsc- luncls were uot open to settlement, it was right and just that the cattlemen, who are not only upon the Ok'ahoma lands, bntare occupying the surrounding Indian coun try under illegal leases, should also be ejected.Mr. Lamar replied that they wonld be ejected! that all the cattle syndicates would be ejected. He said: "I agree with you on that, gentlemen. " Il also affirmed that his feelings were all with the settlers, but that on HiU onfi noiat ol law as to 'the lands
being open to settlement now he 'did not agree with them. As to the question
nf tlie ni.iioiitmeiit of a commission
to negotiate with the Indians, the Secretary said that tha administration wonld take earlv action nnoa it He said, "Gentle
men, you iruy consider the adminlst'ation
a little slow, out we intend to meet an uuraw nnest ons. aad I think we shall meet thorn
in a way wh ich will be generally
tory to your people. Capt. Couch sent the following:
