'knew human nature Logic of the Mnn Who Fiddled In the Midit of a Flood. When Davy Cr<" 1. tt was on his way from his Tenues :ci> home to Texas to fight for the new republic ho rode overland with some chance friends from Little Rock to Full' i . One day they were startled by hearing the high notes of n distant violin playing a rollicking air. Putting spurs to their horses, the men hastened toward the sound and soon observed several others running through the fields In the same direction. At Inst they can " over the erest of a ridge in view of the river and beheld the fiddler scab d in the middle of the flood in an almost submerged buggv playing as fast ns he could shake the how. “Hello, there! Turn back!” shouted the men who came through the field. “I can’t,” replied the fiddler. “But you’ve missed the ford. You’ll drown!" ‘Tve known that for half an hour.” “What me you going to do?” “Sit here till you chaps come out and turn my horse the right way.” The horse was with difficulty keeping his footing and seemed about to be swept away. One of the men who had l(oen .attracted by the fiddling waded out and by a precarious way reached the horse's head and led him round to the ford and back to the bank, the passenger fiddling all the way and winding up with a merry jig. “What do you mean by sitting out there fiddling in the face of death?” demanded Crockett of the rescued stranger. “Well, eolmil,” said the fiddler, “I am a student ;>f 4rr; mn nature. When I found I had missed the ford and needed h !p. 1 set out to get it. 1 might have shouted myself hoarse and no one out here would have paid the slightest attention to me. But there Isn’t a man west of the Mississippi who wouldn’t come running at the sound of a fiddle In the woods.” “And he was right," said Davy, “for there we were.” the* lot of us, our horses all of a lather, for running, to satisfy our curiosity about that squeaking fiddle In this out of the way place.”— Youth's Companion. SUNDOWN DOCTORS.
A Class That Is Peculiar to the National Capital. “Rundown doctors” are an institution peculiar to Washington city. They are an amiable company of medical practitioners who ply their trade only, after nightfall. Not that these gentlemen prefer darkness to light if they had their d’ruthers, nor are their deeds of questionable complexion that looks best in the shade. Sundown doctors have no ways (bat are dark or tricks that are vain. They are as open ns th» day that they may not utilize. If they practice their profession by candlelight rather than by the sunshine, that's Uncle Sam's fault, not their own. Rundown doctors begin to get busy only after 4:.°,0 In the afternoon. From 0 to that hour, poor souls, they are holding their noses to the grindstones over the government desks, for one must live, don't you know, however soaring one's scientific ambition. and Uncle Sam's wages do come in mighty regular and handy. So that In a pigeonhole Is the story of the origin of the struggling fraternity of sundown physicians at the federal
capital.
There are thousands of Instances. Embryonic young physicians, with their careers yet to carve, secure clerkships In some of the governmental departments of Washington In order to keep the pot bubbling while they are getting their medical education after office hours. Their diplomas thus laboriously achieved, they hang out their shingles tentatively, holding fast, however, to their government positions until securely established professionally. A job in the hand, you know, Is worth a whole city directory full of uncaptured patients. Never let go u sure thing till you are sure of a surer.—Washington Cor. Louisville Courier-Journal, a

“The goose Is a frightful liar,” said a nature fakir. “He quite puts me to shame." “Really?” “Really. You know how the goose, when you draw near It. hisses? Well, with that hissing sound it says: •Scott, beware. I urn a serpent.’ Yes, from primeval times the goose has acted this He. The primeval goose mother, sitting 4*11 her eggs in a place of roods and sedge, would not fly when an in trader appeared; but, keeping her body concealed amid the leaves, she would stretch out her long, flexible neck and hiss wickedly. ‘A snake in the grass,’ the Intruder would say to himself as he retreated, and on her eggs the goose would chuckle in a sly, contemptuous way. “The lapwing Is another liar. Approach her nest and she sets up a distressful crying and runs back and forth la front of you, trailing one wing as though it were broken. You follow. You think to snatch her up In your hands. With this lie she lures you away from her young. “The thrash in time of drought beats with his feet on the grass like a clog dancer. Thus be lies to the earthworms. He makes them think that it is ruining. Up they come In silent haste, and the deceitful thrush makes a rich meal.”—New Orleans TlmesDemocrat.

[Original.] A railroad conductor’s life U hard enough anyway, but when It comes to making a poiiceman of himself, in put. ting off unruly passengers or those who won’t pay. It’s tbe meanest Job In the world. But when a conductor finds that in putting n man off the train he's been making a fool of himself it's meaner than the meanest job In the world. Besides, there are robberies lu wllich any one of tbe train force Is Uable to get a bullet through him. I'd narrowly escaped death when my train was robbed back In the nineties and on my next trip was mightily disgruntled when on asking a seedy looking man for his ticket be offered me a dirty old pasteboard that hadn't been good for a year. I told him it wouldn't do and asked him to pay his fare. At first he said be hadn't any money, but presently felt in bis pockets and drew out some loose change, Just enough to take him to a way station about half the distance he wanted to go. Of course I was obliged to carry him as far .as he could pay, but 1 expected to have trouble with him sooner or later, and I did. As we neared the station to which be had paid his way 1 said to him: “I want to know if you’re going to pay for the rest of your ride. If you’re not, I want you to get off here. I won’t put you off In a wilderness. I prefer to do so at a station.”
“The ticket I showed you is good,” he said, “and you've no right to refuse it. I’m going to stay aboard this trtiiu.” We were slowing up for the station, and as soou as we stopped l tackled him. He didn't resist till 1 got him on to the car platform, where half a dozen countrymen at the station could cee us, but then he put up a strong fight. He held on teethe rail with one hand and punumded me with the other. It occurred to me that he was aiming to excite the sympathy of the men looking on and if I didn't want their interference I'd better do my work pretty quick. I made two or three torrifle Jerks and got him down on to the lower step of the car, ami then he got a new grip, and 1 had u hard tussle to get him any farther. When l finally tlung him on to the station platform my uniform coat was tom to shreds, my cap was knocked down over my eyes and my nose was bleeding. By this time the onlookers began to take notice of what was going on. They were most of them a bad looking lot. Indeed, it was suspected that tbe town bad harbored tbe men who had robbed my train. It was plain that they sympathized with tbe man who wouldn't pay bis fare and were about to make a combined rush for me when I pulled the ro[)e and the train started on. I looked back to see my passenger angrily pointing to me as If exciting them to avenge him. On my return trip, preferring not to have any more scrambles, as we pawed the station where 1 bad had the trouble I kept dark, for I fully expected that my deadbeat would be then) with supports to give me a thrashing. I was disappointed, however, for there was no one at the station except the agent and a passenger or two to board the train. I questioned them about my man, and they said the townspeople had befriended him, that be was still there and showed uo signs of leavingIn a few days 1 was surprised to get a note from the superintendent expressing regret at the trouble I had had and iudoclng a check as compensation. I had made no- report "f the matter and was at a loss to know who had told him of It. When several of the men who had ■ebbed my train were arrested some five or six weeks later my episode with the deadhead had pretty much passed out of my mind, though by no means out of my remembrance. It turned out that, ns suspected, the robbers had boon harbored hi the town where I had put him off and that several of them lived there. These were the ones arrested. They woke up one fine morning, having slept the night In fancied security, to be taken in custody by fl police force sent out by special train that arrived at dawn. Their arrest led to the arrest of others, and a great deal of the plunder they had taken was recovered. One day I was In the general otHces of the company attending to some business connected with my duties when the door of tl»o general manager's private office opened and a man came out whose face was familiar to mo. H e was well dressed and presented altogether an appearance of prosperity Seeing me, he walked up to me with outstretched hand and a peculiar smile on Ids face. “I can’t place you,” I said, looking at him inquiringly. "Gan’t you? You ought to remember me. You put me off your train oneday for not paying my fare.” Gradually It came to me that be was the seedy deadhead. My Impressions of him as he was In bis good clothes slowly faded into what be was when I put him off. Then he gave me an explanation. “I am a detective of the companywanted an excuse to go into the town which I suspected had harbored the robbers of your train. The best way could think of and one well calculated to secure the sympathy and confident* of the townspeople was to get put o the train there for not paying my f !,rc - I stayed with them three weeks an organized a gang to rob another train. That’s how I got on to the culprlbt RICHARD A. ANDREWS
