When Tears Are Dangerous.

M. 8. Gregory, sheriff of Amador, was telling some friends the other evening in the Grand about a plucky deputy, and wound up by saying; “When yon find a man as cool and steady as a rock In the face of danger you can bet on him. But the most dangerous men are those who laugh or cry when they have a dispute on hand. I knew a man named Drew, down In Texas, who was noted as a very bad man. AVhen he was doing auy shooting he would laugh loudly—a hard, demoniacal laugh, without any merriment In It Up at Indian Diggings, many years ago, two men named Archer and Pawson had a dispute with a German about a claim. When they claimed the property and said they would take possession he broke down and cried aud they, supposing that they would have no trouble in taking possession, marched on the ground. The German took np a broken pick and laid them both out Archer was badly hurt and was a long time getting over his injuries. After that whenever he saw a man start to cry he got out of the way.”—San Francisco Call. “Of course,” said the practical girl, “there is l such a thing as love at sight” “I’m so glad to hear you say that” replied her romantic'friend. “Yes—but I’d always advise giving It at least thirty days to settle, just the same.”— Washington Star. ‘ <■
