PETE WAS RESIGNED.

Was Willing to Help the Hangman

Make a Good Job. There vaa only one man waiting execution at Fort Smith when I visited the post, and he was only one of the ordinary run of white men in he Indian Territory. The hangman rather wanted to show him off, and so we paid a visit to the guard house. Upon entering it the executioner said : "Pete, here is a decent white man oome to see you. Do your purtiest, now to entertain him. You've got two more days to live, and I hope you'll try and work into decent society as much as possible." "I'm sure Fm glad to see him," responded Fete, as he came forward and shook hands. "That's good. A born gentleman couldn't have said them words better. If I could only keep you six weeks. Pete you wouldn't know yourself, and you'd do me proud. But I can't. I've got to hang you day after to-morrow." "WeUrm ready." u That's good, and just what I expected of you. I've used yon white, and I naturally expect the same in return. If there's any dhe thing that riles me above another it's to have a man go back on me at the last end. Did you see me hang Cherokee Jack, Pete?" "Yes," "I made a bungle of it, because he kicked at the last. Why, sir," (turning to me), 4 'he held up until the very last hour, deluding mo with promises, and hen went dead back on me. Think of his refusing to be hung after everything was shipshape and regular." "I'm not going to kick," observed Petr. "Good for you ! Some of the boys are betting that you will, but I'll give odds that you won't. When a man knows he's got to be hung, what's the use? People have got the mistaken notion about hanging. It don't hurt a bit. How you feelin', Peter?" "Iesigned " "That's right. You hadn't orter killed your old woman, but being you did, and being that you must pull hemp for it, the best way is to feel resigned. You came mighty nigh being a gentleman, Pete, and, as I taid before, I'm eorry I can't keep you and watch your mental improvement. You'd improve fifty per cent, in six weeks. Want to ask the gent any questions, Pete?" aN-o. I guess not. Will he be here to see me go ?" "He'd lie to ever so much, but he can't. He's got to go on to Van Buren." "Can I do anything for you?" I asked. "No, thank you." "Well, Pete, we must be going," briskly remarked the executioner. Would like to stay longer, but time presses. Ill come in to-morrow and cut your hair and rehearse a bit. I made such a poor job last time that I want to do extra fine on you. If youll stick to what you say 111 do the purtiest job ever seen at this post." "I want everything to go off all right," responded the condemned. "Of course why shouldn't yon? It's for your interest, too. Well, so long, old lxy. Kcp your grit up and do your best, and I'll guarantee a first-class job or quit the business." In the Stocks. "Put yourself in his place," is the rule, if a man would like to know how his tired neighbor feels. Like many another good rule, however, it is not to be too rigorously insisted upon. There are some forms of suffering, concerning which even the most sympathetic man may be willing to form his opinion by observation and reasoning rather than by experience. Lord Camden, Lord Chief Justice of England, was walking one day with his host, Lord Dacre, an absent-minded man. As they were passing the parish stocks, Lord Camden said: "I wonder whether a man in the stocks suffers physical pain? I'm inclined to think that, apart from the sense of shame, he suffers nothing, unless the boys pelt him with brickbats." "Settle the ddubt by putting your feet into the holes," said Lord Dacre. "I will," exclaimed Camden, and he sat down and put his feet in the holes. "Now, Dacre," said he, "fasten the bolts and leave me for ten minutes." Lord Dacre did so, but quickly forgot his distinguished guest, who sat awaiting his return with his feet fifteen inches higher than his seat, and his feet encircled by hard wood. Acute pains shot along the confined limbs ; his feet ached; and cramps seized the muscles of the thighs. Faintness, giddiness and thirst increased his discomfort. A peasant passing by was implored by the prisoner to liberate him, and answered with a sneer of derision. A clergyman being told by the prisoner that he was Lord Camden, exclaimed, "Ah! mad with liquor. It is droll, though, that he should imagine himself a Chief Justice!" and he passed on. For ten hours the poor judge sat in the stocks. When at last he was taken out and carried to his host's house, his miserable plight had settled in his mind that the punishment of the etocks is attended by great physical suffering. A year or two after Lord Camden presided at a trial in which a workman brought an action against a magistrate who hadv wrongfully placed him in the stocks. The counsel for the magistrate attempted to laugh the case out of court, and made merry at the workman's statement that he had suffered intense pain during his confinement. "Brother, were you ever in the stocks?" whispered Lord Camden, leaning forward. "Never, my lord," answered the astonished lawyer. "Well, I have been, and let me as sure you that the agony is awful." Origin of the Swapping Horses While Crossing a Stream Story. An Indiana man was traveling down the Ohio on a steamer with a mare and a 2-year-old colt, when, by a sudden careen of the boat, all three were tipped into the river. The Hoosier, as he iom puffing and blowing above the

water, caught hold of the tail of the colt, not having a doubt that the natural instinct of the animal would carry him safe ashore. The old mare took a bee line for the shore, but the frightened colt swam down the current with its owner still hanging fast. "Let go of the colt and hang to the old mare!" shouted some of his friends. "Fhree booh !w exclaimed the Hoosier, spouting the water from his mouth and shaking his head like a Newfoundland dog, "it's all mighty fine your telling me to let go the colt, but to a man that can't swim, this ain't exactly the time for swapping horses." Who Paid for the Dinner It frequently happens that a man makes money by failure. The following, clipped from To-Day, is pertinent to this thought : "In the panic of 1837, the importing firm of Manice, Gould & Co., in this citv, owed an immense sum to Welles &Co., aud failed. Old Sam Welles, the head of the house, came over f ram Pai;is, to settle up with the New York creditors. He settled promptly with every one, at the creditor's own figure, whether it was ten cents or a hundred on the dollar, as long as it was cash. When Sam Welles arrived, he put up at the old Globe Hotel, on Broadway, and sent me with a note to I). P. Manice, asking him to call. Manice complied. I was in Mr. Welles' room busy with my accounts, and overheard all. Mr. Welles said bluffly: " 'Well, sir, you are into our books very heavy. What are you going to pay us V " Til give you thirty cents on the dollar,' answered Mr. Manice, carelessly, as if he did not care whether he paid anything or not. " 'Very well,' said Mr. Welles, 'I will take it. But it is cash, you know "Manice, to old Welles' amazement, sat down and wrote check on the spot for the full amount. Then he said, familiarly : "i'By the way, Welles, suppose you come up and dine with me on Thursday. Ill give you a good feed, I assure you.' "Mr. Welles stared at him, but he accepted, and remarked to me after he had left: 'Well, d n his impudence, To feed me on my own money !' However, he sent the check right off, and it was cashed. Then he went to the dinner, and next day when I saw him he was furious. 'Curse the fellow's impudence !' said he. 'He gave me a banquet lit for Paris, on solid silver, with a nigger in white kids behind each chair, and twenty people invited. But I guess I was lucky to get as much as I did out of him, after all.' "This was the progenitor of the aristocratic young men who need five thousand dollars a year to support them at school. Jt used to be said of him that he made more money by going bankrupt than by selling goods, and I guess this was a fact." Josh Billing Philosophy There is no one who abhors pride so mutch az the one who has the most ov it himself. He who thinks he kant make enny mistakes has allreddy made az big a one az he kan make. Every one seems to konsider himself a kind ov moral half-bushel to meazzure the world's frailtys in. There iz not more than one out ov every five hundred thousand ov thoze who lived a hundred years ago now remembered bi enny one. This iz; encouraging for those on the lookori for fame. There iz a great deal of artyfishall honesty in this world; it wants a heap ov watchin, and should be labelled "pizon." One ov the most diffikult things for an old fellow to understand, and admit, iz that he iz about played out. There iz hardly a human heirs; on the face ov the earth M ho would like to be turned inside-out, and be examined bi the world. It iz very diffikult for an old person to frolik without playing the phool No one shows how perfektfy ridiklous they kan act, until they git deeply in luv. To gro old. and yet be agreeable, iz a grate art. Just in proporshun as a man is free from envy just in that rasho iz he a kredit to hiz divine origin. We kan endure ennything better than to be laff ed at. Thare iz az mutch difference between friendship and luv as there iz between the inside and outside ov a banana. A vain man lets us see all hiz weak points, and hides hiz strong ones. A weak manmayb a virtewous one, but he ain't certain ov it. A half-e dukated man iz like a haff broke pointer dog you kant tell, and he don't kao himself, what he iz a going to do next. New York Weekly, The Law of Finding. Here is some information which may be useful to our young readers. The law of finding is this : "The finder has a clear title against all the world but the owner, and the proprietor of a coach or railroad car or ship has no right to demand anything wliich may have been found upon his property or premises. Such proprietors may make regulations with regard to found property with their employes, but they cannot bind the public." The iaw was declared by the Bang's Bench 100 years ago, in which the facts were these : A person found a wallet containing some money on a shop fioor. He returned them to the shop-keeper to be returned to the owner. After three years, during which the owner did not call for liis property, the finder demanded the wallet and money from the shop-keeper. The latter refused to deliver them up, on the ground that they were found on his premises. Thoj finder then sued the shop-keeper, and!

it was held, as above set forth, tha?

"against all the world but the tru owner the title of the finder is perfect.

Why Bill Didn't Go Up In a Balloon. There was to be a balloon ascension in a Connecticut town, and tiie Professor had offered to let any one accompany him on his trip to the clouds who had the nerve to go. A young farmer about 20 years old stepped forward as a candidate, but while the crowd was cheering him a voice called out: "Hey, Bill I I w ant to peak to you a minit." It was his father, and leading him to the outskirts of the crowd, he baited and asked : "Bill, d'ye know what yo ar' doin'?M 14 I'm a-goin' up in that balloon, dad." "Expect to git down alive?" "I deu." "Wall, ye never will. "Why?5' "When yon left home this movnin' you had sixty cents in cash. I wanted ye to leave it home, but ye wouldn't." "I've got it yit, dad, a-lackin' three cents gone far peanuts." "Yes, I s'pose ko, and that Professor knows it. That's why he's encouragin' you to go. When you get up thar' among the clouds he's goin' to rob ye." "Shoo, dad! I'd have him took up when I got "down." "Not much, Bill. Arter he robs ye hell throw ye overboard, and us who ar' lookin' up will see ye sailin down like an old gander skimmin' over a hoss pond. Ye'll strike somewhar' over in Sheppard's pastur lot, and yell go into the sile about eighteen feet afore ye bring up." Honest Injun, dad." "Bill, did I ever lie to ye ? I may be able to fish up one o' yer shank bones to take home, and when I hand it to mother and tell her that's all that's left of William Ackford Moses Schemerhorn, what's she going to say and how she's goin'to feel?" "Shall I back water, dad?" "I would, Bill : I sartinly would. I know it would be sunthin' to brag of if ye got down alive, but ve never would." "If I back water kin I spend them fiftv-seven cents?" "Wall, mostly, but not quite all. S'posen ye buy a cokernut and a cigar, and 111 kinder help eat and smoke as we jog along home, and save the rest for a rainy day. Times is goin' to be awful hard this fall, Bill." "Yes, I guess. Wall, it's a go, dad, and you jist don't no worry no more. You kin go back and M atch the balloon, and 111 kinder aige around to'rds a grocery. I've bin tastin' cokernut fur the last five minits." New York Sun.

The Best of It. When a cross-questioned witness proves himself more than a match for his legal persecutor, the latter meets with little sympathy. Indeed, his discomfiture is blazoned far and near. Sergeant Cockle had the tables neatly turned upon him on one occasion by a witness whom he was cross-examining in a trial respecting the right of fishing in certain waters. "Dost thou love fish?" was the simple question propounded to the witness ; but it elicited a reply which the Sergeant very little anticipated from that quarter "Ay," replied the witness, with a smile, "but I donna like 'cockle' sauce with it!" Dunning was once treated to a similar reply. He was examining a witness, whom he asked if he did not live at the very verge of the court, and received a reply in the affirmative. "And, pray, why have you selected such a spot for your residence?" asked the counsel. "In the vain hope of escaping the rascally impertinence of 'dunning,' was the unexpected answer. On another occasion the same counsel met with a stinging retort. Having dealings with a gentleman whose nose was of a somewhat peculiar type, he said to him: "Now, Mr. Coppernbse, you have been sworn, what do you say?" "Why, upon my oath," replied the witness, "I would not exchange my copper noso for your brazen face." He Had Scruples. Seedy Man I want some cigars, but the fact is I've got a bill that I don't like to ask vou to change. Clerk Oh, that's all right; 111 change the bill. Here's your cigars a dozen, I believe you said. Seedy Man (pocketing cigars) Much obliged, I'm sure. I don't like in fact, I don't dare to ask you to change this bill ; it's a counterfeit, you see. Goodday, sir. Yankee Blade A Sure Indication.

Luck in an Old Love Letter. Mi Mayer, the special examiner of the Bureau of Pensions, told of a man who lives up in Butler County. He is paralyzed from a sunstroke received while on the march to Washington to the grand review after the surrender of Lee. Not a man could be found to assist in proving his claim. All las comrades of the march wetfe scattered or dead. There was not a scrap of paper of official record. "I am satisfied," said Mr. Mayer, "that hero was a genuine case. His story was always consistent, and then lie wap comparatively a helpless paralytic. He could move about a little, but could do no work. I tried in every imaginable way to get him to recall something that would give me a clue, but visit after visit to him brought nothing. "I finally asked him one day if he ever wrote letters home, and if he might not have written about that time. " 'Why, yes he said, 'I used to write to my sweetheart.' " 'And whero is she now?' I asked. " 'There she is.' " 'Bid you ever save any of those letters, madam?' I inquired. (Just as though a woman didn't always save her love letters tied up in a ribbon.) u 'Why, yes, I believe all the letters he ever wrote me are up-stairs somewhere now" she replied. Pretty soon Bhe came back with a worn and faded package of letters. And among them the found a letter from her then sweetheart, describing the very incident of the sunstroke. He had written her as soon as ho had recovered sufficiently, and told how the day was oppressive and the march to Washington hot and dusty, and how he had been overcome with the heat and had fallen out by the wayside, and had lain under a tree all day long while the columns were marching by. "That letter to his sweetheart saved the day. It got him his pension. He had been trying ever since 1865 until recently to secure it. It was a case in which I became profoundly interested, and I rejoiced with them." Chicago News, S baleen, Broiled and DrenchcxI. These are three participles of English grammar.

Origin of "We Won't Go Home." An interesting history of an old and well-known comic tnne was given by Prof. Enscly a musio teacher, in a speech in the Mnsic Teachers' Association yesterday. He said that when the army of the first Napoleon was in Egypt in 1799, the camp for awhile was near tie pyramids. One afternoon about sunset the band was playing. The inhabitants of the desert had collected near and were listening to the m usic. Nothing unusual happened until the band struck up a tune which we now hear under the name of "We Won't Go Home Till Morning." Instantly there were the wildest demonstrations of joy among the Bedouins. They embraced each other ana shouted and danced in the delirium of their pleasures. The reason was that they were listening to the favorite and oldest tune of their people. Prof. Ensel then stated that the tnne had been taken to Europe from Africa in

the eleventh century by the Crusaders, and had lived separately in both countries for over seven hundred years. This is certainly enough to make "We Won't Go Home Till Morning a classic. Its origin is more of a mystery than the source of the Nile. Louisville Post

Iler Glass Ejo Didn't Wort A very curious cause lately came before the Justice of the Peace of Neuilly, France. Some time ago Mme. Plnyette, a widow of 50, but who still attaches much importance to personal appearance, had the misfortune in playing Mich a lapdog to receive from it so severe a wound in one of her eyes that it came out oi? the socket- Having heard much of artificial eyes, and being recommended to apply to an expert manufacturer in this way named Tamsier, she gave an order for a glass eye for which the optician charged 100 francs ($20), Refusing to pay this charge, the manufacturer summoned her before the .lust ice of the Peace. Mme. Pluyctte having appeared, holding the glass eye in her hand, the Judge asked her why she refused to pay the bill which AI. Tamper had sent in. "For a very good reason," replied the defendant. "I can rco no more with this eye than I could before." "What?" said the Judge. "Did you really imagine that you would bo able to see with a glass eye?" "Did I think so?" retorted the angry dame, "Certainly I did. Will you be so good as to tell me what eyes are for except to see with? I ordered the eye for use, and until M. Tangier makes me one with wiiich I can see I will not pay him a sou." The Justice of the Peace endeavored to convince Mme. Pluyette that glass eyes weie for others to look at and not for the wearer to look through; but, finding all appeals to her reason of no avail, he condemned her to pay the plaintiff the amount of his demand. When the defendant heard the decision she became furioi;s with anger, and, after dashing her glass eye on the floor, she rushed out of court amid the laughter of the crowd.
