“/ warn you to do me a great fa

You collided, clinched, fought and
drew a crowd, and here you are.
“Send her up, y» ur Honor,”
shouted Mrs. Jacobs.
“(Jive her twenty years, Judge,

Mrs. Willis.
“Ladies; the sentence of this

“Never!”
“Never!”
“Then each of you will pass the

“Shainef tl!”
“Moustroub!”
They, however, concluded to

they had a tight at the door, and
barely escaped a second arrest,

“Napoleou, the charge is suspi

A m .n, seemingly about. t»0
years of age, was telling the
people in t ie waiting rooms at the
I’hird it reef depot yesterday that
he had been Aasi to old Massachu
setts to see his sisters. and that on
the way back he stopped ofl' at. Ni
agara Falls.
“That is a place that I never
saw," remarked a woman with a
poke bonnet on.
“Yon didn't! Well, ycu've
missed the awfullest sight on
earth ! I wus jest stunned.'’
“ What is it like
‘Wei l , there’s a river, and the
falls, and lots of hotels, aud sever
al lujnns, ami itie bridal viel, and
land only knows what else. If
my old woman had i-been along
she would have willed rigid
down."
“There is water there I sup
pose V
“Ob, heaps of it. It pours and
thunders and roars and foams and
humps around in the most tenible
manuer. You have bi l on a shirt
button in a piece of pie haven't
you ?"
•‘N<>, sir.’’
"Well the felling was aliout the
same—kinder shivery. Why, the
biggest man that ever lived that
ain’t half as big as Niagara Falls !
Let him stand thar and see that
ere water tumbling over them’ere
rocks and he can’t help but feel
what a miserable boss fly he is.
You've falle.i out o' bed haven't
you ?”
“Well, the feeling was abou.
the same thing, you wake up and
find yourself on the floor, and you
feel as if you had oen stealin, or
robbin’ blind men."
“WhAt portion of the falls did
vou most admire?’ she asded.
“The watter mum.” he prompt
ly replied. 1 f you’d pu' 10,000
kegs of beer on the roof of this
building and set them all running
thev couldn’t begin with Niagara,
it’s the ttrriblest appalingest
sight ever patented.”
“Cost much ’"inquired a gentle
man.
“’Bout sixty five cents. It’s
pjooty tight times, aud sixty cents
don’t grow on every bash, but I
ain’t sorry. It’s southin' to talk
sbou. for twenty years to come.
There's a chap in our town who
used to ravel with a circus, but
he'll take a beck seat when I gil
home. Fip ffoppmi’ around in a

‘So, on the whole, you
were pleased, oh ? ’
Pleased 1 Why, I was tickled

one on my farm I wouldn’t sell it
for S6O in cash ! I ve looked into a
field whar’ 750 fat hogs was w u -

You can’t half appreciate it till

“I am."

Well, a young min wee ill Curtis
lived at one of tl ese ranches years
ago. and though a quit", mind,
your owo Imsini ,vhohad
absolutly mo enemies among his
companions, lie had the irk fortune
ts incur the wrath of a tramp sheep
herder, who wavlaid Curtis one
afternoon and shot him dead as lie
sat in his l nggy Curtis wasn’t
armed. He didn’t dream of troub
ble till he drove home from town
ai.d as lie passed through the g:Tte
of a coiral saw the hairy face of
the herder and at the same mo
lueut the flash of a winchester
rifle. That was all.
A rancher came into town and
telegraphed to Curtis’s father,and
then a hall a dozen citizens went
out to help capture the herder,
who had fled Io the sage brush of
the foothills.
jf’liey didn't g el hack till to
ward day-break, but they brought
the herder with them. 1 saw him
in the gray of the morning lying
in a course gray blanket on Hie
floor of the engine house. He
was dead.
I asked the reporter how he
came to his death, and lie told me
opium ! 1 sail “Did 1 understand
you to say Topiuni ?" They
said no it was opium. 7’ne mur
derer had taken poison when lie
found that escape was impossible.
I was present at the inquest so
that I could report the case.
There was verry little testimony
blit, all the evidence seemed to
pi int to iLefact tl at life wasexonet
and a verdict of death by his own
liuud was rendered.
It was the first opium work I
Imd ever seen, ami il aroused my
curiosity. Dea 1: by opium it

oiling that 1 never seen laid down
iu ilie books. I ocqiieat.'i it to
medical science. Whenever 1 run

cry I just hand it right, over to
the public without cost.
Ever since the ab *ve incident
I have been very appreusive about
people who seem to be like’y to
form the opium habit. I l is on
