The glass workers have decided to ask for a raise of twenty-two and one-half cents on their wages, which was UD justly taken off by the McKialeyitei—Hancock Democrat.

The Democrat evidently meaus the 22J4 per cent, (not 2cents), which was taken off the wages of the glass-workers by the late, but not lamented, Democratic Congress. Neither glass-workers nor any other workers in this country had anything to complain of in the McKinley bill. The complaining came from wage-workers in Europe and Democratic politicians in this country, whose principal work was "working their jaw." We are glad to have the Democrats acknowledge that the glass-workers were una a 2 cent, taken •!!'.

THE scheme of Mayor Pingee, of Detroit, for people to cultivate crops, especially potatoes, on the vacant lots and unemployed land around the city, has failed. Men who owned the lots and land very liberally donated the use of the ground and the city appropriated money to furnish the seed. There was, however, a third and more essential element than either of the others to make the plan a success, and that element, which was work, failed to materialize. Few potatoes were planted, as the poor did not want them that way. The paople there who stand in need of potatoes do not care for .eni unless some one else furnishes the seed, the land and the work necessary, and then deliver the potatoes right at their door ready for use. Such people are poor, always have been poor and a:ways will bo. Even the Lord does not help people who do not help themselves. lu is the refusal of many people who need help to do anything toward helping themelves tint disgust people. If all would 'member that ^Thoss who don't work ..met have'' they might cease owling and grumbling and get a on themselves.

DREAMLAND.

Where sighs the whispering linden To summer's lightest breeze, Where tuneful birds make music

Unseen 'mid shady trees— How sweet awhile to linger Beside some babbling stream, And lulled by its soft murmur

To fall asleep and dream I

What strange fantastic pictures Pass mirrored o'er the brain As youth forgets its troubles

And age grows young again I The past, no more remembered, Makes way for what shall be, And scenes of future gladness

Are all the dreamers see.

Ah, would theso idle fancies Might sometimes prove them true Nor fade away to nothing

And vanish from the view! Fond thought 1 But cease repining.

Perchance 'tis happier thus To leave unsolved life's riddle Nor ask what waits for us. —New Budget.

A DEAD SHOT.

They called him Tex in lien of any reliable information as to his proper patronymic, and he bobbed up in that miscellaneous assortment of humanity that flocked to Leadville in the first flush of the silver excitement. Tex was an Apollo of the plains, a mere boy, with long yellow curls, blue eyes and a woman's complexion and with a frame that towered six feet in his stockings. He had been a member of an immigrant train in his tenderer years, whicli the Indians had attacked and wiped out of existenca Tex had been adopted by the tribe and had spent some years in this savage society, until General McHenry, commanding regular troops, one day 6wooped down on the camp and seized Tex and restored him to civilization. And then Tex became a cowboy. That was his history down to the time that he went to Leadville and became a familiar figure about the gambling houses.

Everybody, with the possible exception of the parson and a few women and children in camp, in those days wooed the fickle goddess of fortune in roulette or at faro, poker and even keno, and I Tex's occupation as a professional gamI bier did not lower his social standing by one degree. As a matter of fact, Tex was a great favorite. He was a big, kind hearted boy, with a quiet manner and good natured smile, but, withal, a man—a man, too, capable of being aroused at times and in that condition one of the most dangerous men in the west.

One day Tex sat down in The Gold Room, a popular resort on Chestnut street, to a little game of poker. The stakes were high, and Tex was steadily losing. When he discovered that his partner was playing with a double deck Tex put his hand on the jack pot and called the other a cur. That party whipped out a six shooter, but lay dead in his tracks with a bullet hole through his heart before he could bring his pistol to a leveL Tex was such an expert with his gun I

Bret Harte relates that the gamblers in Tuttle's grocery calmly continued their game the day that French Pete and Kanaka Joe shot each other to death over the bar in the front room. The game in The Gold Room on this occasion I must have been less absorbing in interest, for the crowd made a rush for Tex, who calmly turned around at the door and quietly advised his pursuers to resume their peaceful occupations at the table if they did not want to fill a common grave over on the other side of Capitol hill. And very wisely the crowd acted on Tex's advice. And so the matter apparently blewT over without any serious annoyance to the young man, who continued to walk the streets in his leisurely way, obviously none the worse in conscience for having assisted in the premature taking oft' of a dishonest gambler. How many men Tex in his short but eventful career had killed nobody knew, but his bearing on this occasion indicated that he was no novice. He was greeted respectfully by passers, and he smiled as benevolently and kindly upon those lie cared to notice as though the process of shooting a man through the heart was an accepted act of ethical propriety.

And nothing more would have come of it if peoplo had not begun to twit Town Marshal O'Connor on his failuro to do his duty. The marshal had no hankering after Tex's society, no vaulting ambition to arrest him. Tex had been somewhat informal in his administration of justice. He might have waited for his opponent to shoot first, and then allowed the regularly elected justice of the peace to try tlio case afterward, but Tex, in his youtliful inexperience and veiy vague acquaintance

1

a a

not stopped to think of that. A cold

deck and a suggestive movement toward the seat of war on the part of an adversary had always been his signal for prompt action, and his triggerless six shooter had on such occasions always been the arbiter of justico, from which no appeal lay. The merciless twitting to which O'Connor was subjected had made it necessary for him to do something to maintain tho dignity of the law.

When Tex that evening walked into The Gold Room, O'Connor was there. They saw each other at a glance. O'Connor leisurely walked toward Tex, and tho boy fastened his keen eyes upon him as though he would read his thoughts. "Tex," said the marshal, "you've killed Skinner, and you know what I've got to do with you. "Arrest me?" said Tex quietly. The conversation was conducted in sufcdued tones. "Don't try it," continued Tex. "I like you, and I haven't got a thing against you. I don't want to kill you, O'Connor. Now you go about your business and leave me alone. When the grand jury meets you'll find me right here in Tho Gold Room, and I'll go with you and stand trial, but I won't be arrested." "But, Tex," said the marshal, "I've got to do my duty. "And I've got to do ^ino/' said Tex.

"I done it this morning when I drilled a hole through Skinny, and I'll do it whenever a man puts a hand on me. I ain't spoiling for a fight, specially with you, O'Connor, and if you see your duty make sure that it is to let me alone. Now go away and don't trouble yourself any more about me.''

Tex turned to go away, but in turning he saw the marshal draw his pistol. There was a quick, sharp report, a puff of smoke, and O'Connor lay writhing on the floor in his blood.

Again the large gambling room was in a state of commotion. Tables were upturned, and loud voices could be distinguished above the din, shouting: "Kill him!" "Shoot him!" There was a general rush in the' direction where Tex had stood, but the boy had disappeared.

Then it was that Leadville experienced amoral revulsion. When men could no longer sit down to a beguiling game of stud poker or watch the cards as they were silently slipped from the case by the nimble fingers of the faro dealer without being disturbed by the crack of pistols and the accompanying acts of violence and bloodshed it was time to make a fewT examples and readjust the moral standard of the community.

How much greater was the necessity when, as on this occasion, men made free with the executive hand of justice in the person of the marshal, whose only offense had been that of trying to cage a flagrant violator of the peace and maintain the dignity of the law, even what little there was of it. But Tex could nowhere be found.

Sheriff Tucker began to take the case in hand. He and his deputies scoured the town from one end to the other. They visited all of Tex's resorts and calling places, but none had seen him after the shooting. At last Tucker heard that ho had left town on horseback. He was probably far over the divide by this time, but Tucker was not the sort of man to be easily discouraged. He and a deputy, whose aim was as accurate as his own, and whose courage was something to be banked on in all emergencies, started in pursuit. They had better horses than tho animal Tex was riding, and they were soon on the boy's trail.

Then began one of the hottest pursuits that was ever known. By daylight they were in sight of the fugitive, catching a faroff glimpse of him as he waved his sombrero at them just as ho slipped over the crest of a range of hills. Both parties had changed horses several times. At one place Tex had traded his broken down broncho for a buggy horse, paying the difference that the owner asked without haggling about the price. Then he had traded the buggy horse for a Ute pony that would try to run up a hill as fast as he ran down, and whose spirit nothing could conquer but death. Once I they were perceptibly gaining on him and tried a few shots that fell short.

Just as they thought they were going to close in on him and were putting their horses to their best Tex waved his I sombrero over his head, standing erect I in the saddle, and gave such an unearthly yell that the poor pony was frightened into a convulsive effort that carried him beyond the range of vision of Tucker and his man. Yet on they pressed, I around the shoulder of a hill, and there they saw their man—at their mercy. S I His broncho had broken his neck stumbling over a bowlder. Tex had been thrown down, but was too export a rider not to find his feet. His revolver had been hurled down a bank and was beyond reach. His pursuers were upon him, and tho business end of two rovolvers were ominously directed against his breast. I Tex made a bounding leap down the bank. Crack, crack!'' spoke two revolvers, but the bullets missed. Tho next instant Tex had got possession of his revolver, but the leap had broken his wrist, and tho sheriff and his man had the drop on him. "Tex," shouted Tucker, "throw up your hands! We've got you. "Shoot, d—n you, shoot!" I He tried to level his own gun, but his wrist was limp, and before ho could change it to his left hand there was an almost simultaneous report of two pistols, and a pah: of bullets had passed into his heart. Tex fell heavily on his side, and as the sheriff and his deputy saw that they had done their work well they watched him. "Tako tho pot!" gasped Tex, and died.—Washington Post.

Inconsistent Teeth.

Tho inconsistent teeth are small and even, often brilliantly whito, but widely separated. Each tooth has a well defined space between it and its neighbor. Usually in men a small, straight nose and weak chin are seen with these teeth. The lips may be well formed, but will frequently be thin, and the mouth, in smiling, forms an oblique line, showing the glittering whito teeth. The possessor is by nature treacherous, inconsistent in his affections, will turn on a woman or attack a weaker man. He will never meet a inau of his own size in an encounter and will stab in the dark or work through a third party. Henry Irving makes his mouth up after this type for his wonderful Mepliisto and accentuates tho cruelty of its lines by the wicked arch to his eyebrows.—Kansas City Times.

Among all the structures thatjmake up the human body, the nerves have been uutil recently the least understood.

The role of the nerves in the digestion and assimilation of food is a highly important one. The question whether the food shall nourish or become a mere load npon the system is a question of nerve force.

Neglect to satisfy the demands made by the nervous system carries heavy penalties. When this nervous force is exhausted the disgestive processes are obstructed, the body is weakened and pains of neuralgia, indigestion, rheumatism, invade its parts. During repose the nerves and great nerve centers feed upon the nutritive material that is stored in the blood aud tissues. It is when this supply of nourishment is prompt and abundant thu/. the nerveus system is able to recuperate, but when the system has become too tired to appropriate sufllcieut nourishment aud the nerves I oo shaky to get the the rest they need, that best of all blood purifiers, nerve foods, and nerve regulators, Paine's celery compound, should be given at once.
