ROWDIES AND ROBBERS. a a(,ahtu,m

Wyoming Cattleman Who Checked th Little Game of Two Chicago ThievesHow a Millinery Saleaiuan Cowed a Tough Tlaat Wanted to Shoot at Everything. "What is known as a had man in the far west in not necessarily a man of an unvaryingly evil disposition or of disposition etil at all. He may be uniformly and euasedly bad or bad only in the sense of being dangerous to those who offer biin unjustifiable provocation. I bave met many varieties of the species in my 20 years of travel west of the Mississippi," said a former commercial traveler. "I was in the train in which it happened, although I did not see the occurrence, when two thievefl oame to grief in trying to rob a oattlamau. It was in the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy station in Chicago, or, rather, just beyond the station. The thieves evidently had planned the robbery beforehand, knowing that the cattleman had alaige urn of monuy with him, and they had followed hiin to the train and aboard a ooach. He bad seated himself near the middle of the car. After the train had started and got under good headway one of the thieves suddenly grabbed him from fct 1, pinioning his arms to his aide, whilt, the other drew his pocketbook from hi- inner breast pocket. Then the thieves ran in opposite ways toward the oar doori with the intention, of course, of jumping from the moving train, but tiey hadn't reckoned rightly on the quickness cf the cattleman's pistol. Drawing his revolver, he brought down one of the thieves half way to the door, mortally wounded, with a bullet through his back. Turning, he flr-(l at the other, just dashing out at the door, hooting him through the heart so that he fell dead on the platform. "The whole tbn'g was done eo quickly that few of the passengers in the coach were aware that anything unusual was going on until the pistol shots rang out. Then naturally there were jumping up and confusion and hysterics. The cattleman, pistol in hand, went at once to the first thief he had shot, searched him and, not finding his pocketbook, went back through the cur to where the other thief lay dead on the platform. The crowd gave bim free passage along the aisle, you can bet. At the door a brakeman handed him the pocketboot. whioh the thief had dropped when he fell. The cattleman ran his eye over the contents, satisfied himself that they were all right, then went tack to his seat, where he remained quietly until the next station was reached. Here he got ouk, asked the telegraph operator to notify the police that he was waiting for them to arrest him and staid until they came. The coroner's jury exonerated him for the killing, and his case, if ever it came before a court, was quickly dismissed. I met him afterward in Wyoming, a quiet, everyday sort of man of no particular reputation as a shot, who had got along with little trouble in a fighting way before and after his exploit at Cihcago, but he showed himself great at this one time when nerve and promptness and good marksmanship were needed. "I saw a rough fellow taken down by a man who was not a bit rough to look at once on a passenger train of the Southern Pacific road, west of Deining. It was in a parlor car, and the tough had arrived at the stage of drunkenness where he felt it necessary to get out hi9 pistol and shoot at telegraph poles uloug the side of the track. He got ugly when the conductor spoke to him and allowed he'd do pretty much as he pleased and that the man who interfered with him wouldn't turn up for his victuals next day or at any time after. It is probable that the trainbands eventually would have brought bim to rights, but a passenger, a slim, quiet, refined looking man, took the business in hand and saved them the trouble. "The fun began when the tough's pistol went off in the car, by accident quite likely. At this the slim man got up and walked Lack to him, carrying a slender walking stick in his hand. " 'There has been enough of this business,' be said. 'Put that pistol up.' "The tough jumped up from hid seat. " 'Damn you!' he shouted. 'Do you know who you're talking to? You git!' "He started to cock his pistol as he spoke, but the hammer didn't get half way op. The thing was done too suddenly for my eye to follow, but the pistol clanged down on the floor between them, knocked from the fellow's hand by a blow with the stick. The tough swore and clutched with the other hand at his hand that had been so smartly rapped. The slim man stooped, picked up the pistol and threw it out of the window. " 'Now, will you behave yourself?' he asked, looking the fellow in the eye, with the expression of a wild beast tamer and holding the stick asafenciug master holds his foil at 'ready. ' " 'You bet,' was the prompt answer, and the tough man sat meekly down. He was very much on his good behavior all the rest of the trip. He even tried to make friends with the slim man. The slim man's name, by the way, was E T. Hallam, an agent for a millinery goods firm. He received the lionizing of the other passengers modestly, acknowledging, however, that he fenced and sparred some and could play a little at single stick." New York Sun.

The Letter A. The letter A is in Hebrew called aleph, an ox, and the Phoenician character which represents this sound was originally a picture of an ox head ; hence the name. The right hand troke of the A represented the top of the head, the other down stroke the left side and a line, since fallen out of use, represented the right side of the head, while in very old Phoenician manuscripts two dots above for eyes and two below for nos- j tri Is pandered the resemblance complete.

l7ow- lie Mut DffMS uu1 the Utiles of Conduct lie Munt Observe to He Classed M a "Complete Bachelor" Hüi Mannet With Ladles and Servants. There arc those who would say that a btjoholor has no business to be complete; that it Is the duty of every young man to marry at the earliest practicable moment and ho give over the selfish Joys of bachelorhood. But as long us young men in their lamentable desire to be comfortable refuse to look at the matter in that light there is need that thej should be duly instructed in the properties of their position, and what better Instructor could they have than the anonymous genius who w rites of thing "As B 9 by Him" in that very fashionable publication, Vogue? It in he who tells them what "the complete, bachelor" should l)e, and if they are wiae they will listen t his Mords. All the rontingeiicies which arise iu the social life of the bachelor an; duly considered, first, there is the matter of his public manners, in which many men who regard themselves as well bred are woefully deficient. They will smoke in the stieet, heap women standing on corners while they talk to them, sit while women are standing, carry Sticks or umbrellas at offensive engine, star.' women out of countenance at theaters or hotels, and in general make ItnisanffiS of them eHea Now, a bachelor w ho will do any of these things is wretchedly in complete. Then comes the question of clothes. Nothing mora distinguishes the gentleman than what he wears. Nor is it enough, as many do, to bo nice iu the matter of gloves, shoes or cravats and owe huge Sums to the tailor. Dressing is not so much a matter of money as a matter of taste. After a man has put his wardrobe in proper condition he may get along remarkably well on a very small yearly sum. Our author does not .ÜMlain to give economical hints, to tell how the tailor around the corner will do perfectly well some things for which the "swell" tailor would charge roundly, to explain how to get out of a suit the utmost possible service. Such things are beneath no man's attention, though ho bo a genius or a millionaire. Until the art of dressing properly is un tantoodi the moral progress of society

will remain an idle dream. We need uot add that tho man who wears a "made tie" belongs in the outer darkness of barbarism. It is gratifying also to note that tho Ms of the Tuxedo, oi house coat, is earnestly recommended. Since every complete bachelor will invariably dross for dinner, he will find in the Tuxedo an econosnioal and easy substitute for the more rigorous full dress coat, and ono that can be worn not only at homo, but in informal companies of gentlemen and at tho theater or iu a public restaurant. We note that our author upeaks a good word for the black tie with a Tuxedo, though he does not absolutely bar a white one. This is a question upon which no thoroughly satisfactory ruling has ever been made. For our own part, we think that tli occasions whereon a niau feels a white tie incumbent also demand a "swallor tail" coat. The toilet is not less important than the dress. fcVrupulons can in this respect is certainly the mark of a complete bachelor. That a man should take his tub every morning goes without saying. At tho same timo there is no need to insist upon the rigor of the game and say that tho water shall bo cold. Tepid water is best. "Every man should learn to shave himself." These are golden words. A barber is occasionally' necessary no doubt, but there if something offensive to refined sensibilities in the picture, of a long row of men in chairs having a part of their toilet performed. Our author says nothing of the habit of having boots blacked in tho street, justly regarding it as one so bad as to be unspeakable. Patent tooth powders, washes, pomatums and nostrums of every kind are condemned without reserve. This, too. shows good sense. The care of toilet articles is rightly insisted upon. A man cannot be a complete bachelor unless he is welling to take some trouble. Tho custom of wearing tho hair long is disapproved. No point is too minute for the xusideration of this thoughtful writer. The etiquette of cards is a matter upon which lamentable ignorance is often displayed, and in calling nwd dinii out there are those who show tho lack of breeding. The practice of grasping or squeezing tho hand of a lady is (barring exceptional circumstances) unadvisable. "A man removes his glove from his right hand on entering the drawing room, and holds this, with his stick and hut, in his left. The hat should be at an angle, the top about level with his nose. " This is important. But something more than mere politeness is required of the complete b'chelor. His goodness of heart will come out in his treatment of his servants. Though he must "exercise an iron will," he must also "encourage them now vod then by a kind word. " And once in awhile they must have a holiday or some cast off clothing, They, in their turu, should be "noiseless and automatic." Such things too many young men forget With this book, however, they cannot go very far astray. They can learn how to behave at dances and at country houses and at clubs. If it bo objected that on these subjects gentlemen do not te ed instruction, the retort is obvious. Persons who are not gentlemen have their ambitions and frequently try to become complete bachelors. And sinoe this is so, let us bo grateful for the nueutor who Is able to give them so much excellent advice. Providence Journal. Tho father of biography was Plutarch.
