BIG JIM.
"He's a bully !”
“He’s a coward I”
‘‘He's got to hang I”
"That's his third man !'*
The one narrow street of the frontier
town was filled with a surging crowd of j
excited men. There were Indian fight
ers, scouts, gamblers, tramps, miners,;
Speculators—everything and everybody, i
Every town has its bully—every
frontier town. Big Jim was the bully
of Hill City. He could drink more,
curse louder, shoot quicker and start a
row sooner than any other man. When
he shot Limber Joe it was a stand-off.
It was rough against rough. Whoever ’
went under the town would be the i
gainer. The death of bis second vic
tinTbrought him a certain respect, lor,
he ha I given the man a fair show.
There was a limit to the number of
men one might shoot in Hill City. It
was three times and out. Big Jim had
killed his third.
Two hundred men —all excited—
some half-crazed —all indignant—some
terribly aroused, surged down the street
to the Red Star Saloon bent on ven
geance. Big Jim and the man he had
killed were alone in the place.
“Bring him out I”
‘•lie’s got to hang !”
"Bring out the bully and coward !”
There was a rush, but it was checked. '
Men had pistols and knives in their
hands, but the sight of Big Jim with a
“navy” in each hand cooled their ardor.
A life for a life is no revenge. They
lied when they called him a bully.
Bullies strike and run or bluster and
dare not strike. They lied when they
called him a coward. Cowards do not
remain to face death.
Big Jim advanced a little. The crowd
fell back. He stood in the door and
surveyed the mob as coolly as another
man might have looked up at the pine
covered crest of Carter’s Peak. The
niub grew quiet. There were 200 right
hands clutching deadly weapons, but
not a hand moved. Two hundred to
one is appalling odds, but the one was
master. Seeming to face every man of
them—seeming to cover every breast
with the black muzzles of his revolvers
—the man backed away up the road
into the darkness, out of their sight
and hearing. He said not a word.
There wasn't a whisper from the crowd
until he bad disappeared. Then men
drew long breaths of relief. A terrible
menace had passed away.
Out into the darkness —down the
rough road—over the rude bridge, and
there Big Jim put up his revolvers,
turned his face square to the West, and
stepped out without a look back at the
camp. It was ten miles to Harney's
Bend. Men driven from the one camp
took refuge in the other. 'I be hall way
landmark was a bit of a valley skirted
by a creek. Wayfarers who were jour
neying by team many times halted here.
On this night there was a lone wagon.
Under the canvas cover slept a mother
I and four children. Resting against a
wheel was the husband and father, bis
i eyes peering into the darkness his
, ears drinking in every sound.
Big Jim had not reached the valley
I yet when the still night air was rent
i with war-whoops —the crack of rifles—
the screams of a woman and her chil
dren. Indians bad discovered the lone
and almost defenseless family. There
i were five scalps to adorn their lodges,
j The bully and the coward bad not been
I discovered. He could find a safe biding
place. Did he ?
A half-dozen screaming, yelling
fiends were dancing about the wagon—
shooting—striking— dodging— closing
in on the one white man who somehow
escaped their blows and bullets, when
; there was a cheer and a rush, and the
Navys began to crack. Sixty seconds
later dead silence had fallen upon the
I valley.
O ne _two —three dead Indians. The
immigrant leaned against the wagon,
faint with a wound in his head. The
wife looked out with an awful terror at
her heart. Bullets had chipped and
splintered wheel and body.
“Who are you ?” asked the immi
grant as a figure approached him from
the darkness.
I ‘‘Big Jim.”
“You have saved he frnjn a massacre.

HARTWELL, GA.. JUNE 4, 1886.
“Yes, it was well that I happened
along ! Rouse up the fire, for there is
no further danger."
When the blaze caught the fresh fag
ots and lighted up the little valley the
immigrant counted the dead Indians
again—one—two—three. He turned
with extended band, but Big Jim had
departed. Next day, when men from
Hill’s and Harney’s found his dead
bo ly beside the rocks a mile away, with
five wounds which had let his life-blood
out, they whispered to each other:
"We thought we knowed him, but
we didn’t.”—Detroit Free Press.

Met his Wife on ths Battlefield.
Apropos of romantic marriages, there
is no man in Congress who can show
a better record than Representative
Wiliam J. Stone, of Kentucky, who
takes Oscar Turner’s place in the
House. The story of Stone’s terrible
wound- on the battlefield was told not
long ago, but Hie best, part of the story
was left r ut. The battle where he lost
his leg was near Cynthiana, Ky. He
was in the Confederate service, and af
ter that battle was lying on the field
gasping for water, with bis leg shot
away almost to the hip. A Federal
soldier saw him and asked him if he
was not thirsty. He replied that he
was. and the Yankee went off and
brought back »canteen full of water-
He raised the wounded man and gave
him a drink, and then in kindness left
his own canteen by the side of what, be
thought to be the dying rebel. Said
he, “I will leave this, as you may want
to drink again after a while.” Stone
thanked him. As he turned to go
away another Union soldier came up
and said: “Hello! my man, is that
rebel dead?” The first Yankee replied
lie was not, but he thought he was
.lying. The newcomer then said:
“Stand aside and I’ll finish him,” and
with that lie raised .liis musket. The
kind-hearted Yankee stepped in front
of him, and told him if lie shot the
rebel lie would shoot him. T his ended
the matter, ami the good and the bad
Union soldier went away together.
This much of the story has already
been told.
Air. Stone lay upon the battlefield
for some time, hugging the canteen to
him. The troops had now all left the
field, and none but the dead and dying
remained. At this time a number of
young ladres-from the town of Cynthiana
came to visit the battlefield. They
had gathered up the ramrods scattered
among the dead, and one of them,
finding Air. Stone still alive, ami the
sun beating down upon him, took a
bundle of these ramrods and stuck them
into the earth, making a half-moon of
paling fence about his head. Over
this she spread her shawl and did
what she could to case him. This
young woman is now Airs. Stone, one
of the accomplished women of our con
aressional society. Stone fell in love
with her on the battlefield, and after bis
recovery he succeeded in winning her.
The story, if told in the shape of a
novel, would be considered improbable.
But truth is stranger than fiction, and
there are more romances all around us
than there are on the book shelves. —

A Woman of the Servian War.
There is a young woman at Widdin
who went through the Servian war dis
guised as a man. CHy the commander
of her company knew her secret; she
was obliged to disclese it to him when
the company set out upon its march,
and he appears to have loyally kept it
to himself. In all exercises, parades
and reviews she took part jointly with
her male comrades. The heroine took
part in the forced marched into Servia,
fought at the battle of Slivnitza and
joined in the attack upon Pirot. Her
comrades voted to her the company’s
medal for bravery. When, in conse
quence of the war coming to an end,
the militia was dispersed, she went to
Sofia, and was there presented to Prince
Alexander, who awarded to herasecond
decoration for bravery. She then return
ed to Widdin, her place of domicle be
fore the war. where she now acts as
servant to an old lady.—Foreign Let

THE JOINT SNAKE.
I ohk-1" Question in Natural
llhlory Kcl at Meat.
I have read with much interest the
discussion about the joint snake, and
propose to give my experience with it.
I have been familiar with the ‘‘joint,’’
or, as we vail it here, the "hook-and
eye” snake, since I was a boy. It is
a snake of a brownish yellow color, and
grows to be about three feet long, but
at any stage of its growth it can be un
jointed or unhooked. It is fastened
together by a hook and eye arrange
ment, exactly like those used on ladies’
dresses. _O n on c occasion while out
taking a walk I saw a joint snake
crawling slowly along the top of an
old stone wall ; taking my cane I gave
it smart jerk about the middle of the
body, and it immediately unhooked into
sixteen pieces, each about two inches
long. Taking the head part and put
ting it in my hat for safe keeping, I
gathered up the joints, and laying them
along in a row in just the reverse order
in which they came apart, with all the
eyes in contact, and also the hooks, I
took the head part out of my hat, and
laid it alongside the middle of the row
of joints. It immediately began to
move along the line and without a mo
ment’s he dtation backed up to the first
joint, whin a little snap was heard and
the first j -int was hooked on. It re
peated the process, and in the course
of sixty-five seconds by the watch it
was again a complete snake. Again
catching it I took out the ninth joint
and also the fourteenth and changed
places with them, putting the ninth in
place of the fourteenth, and then let
the snake go. He gave one or two
wig<iles, but finding there was some
thing wrong examining his joints from
his head d )wn, and when he came to
the ninth took it out and laid it on one
side, i.ie.r'crawling along the rest of
his joints until he came to where the
fourteenth ought to be but where I had
put the ninth, took that out and hooked
in on to the eighth and then put the
fourteenth back in its place, all of
which was done in an incredibly small
space of time.
Once I caught two joint snakes, one
larger than the other, and taking one
joint from the largest snake turned him
loose. He at once hooked himself to
gether and started off, but soon found
something was wrong, stopped and
seemed to be counting bis joints. Ina
little while he made up his mind that
he was short one joint and seeing the
other snake lying near in the grass
made a rush for him. and coiling him
self around the middle of bis body he
soon unhooked a section, and then un
hooking himself just where I had taken
out a joint proceeded to put in the joint
he had robbed bis companion of. It
did not fit very well, being too small,
and while he was trying to make it
work I gave his joint to the smaller
snake, who at once put it in the place
of his missing joint.
By this time the big snake happened
to crawl along by the side of the other,
and he at once saw that he had one
joint bigger than the rest; going up
close and examining it carefully he
proceeded to take it out. and, after re
moving the little snake's joint, put his
own in its proper place. Then he took
the little snake’s joint and laid it down
close by the other snake, and by vari
ous winning ways coaxed him to hook
it on, which he having done they both
moved off. I might go on and give
you dozens of other instances of the
intelligence of this interesting snake,
but will content myself with one which
happened on the 4tb of July.
J had been cutting wheat with a
binder, and the ground being wet in
one part of the field the horses had
sunk down to their fetlocks in the soil,
aud it being a heavy clay the tracks
were just like so many clean-cut holes,
with the sides perfectly smooth and
about eight inches deep. A joint snake
, by some means had dropped his middle
joint down one of these holes and os it
was was too deep for him to reach
down and get it with bis mouth, being
' a very small snake, he seemed to be
i considerably worried about his loss. I
stood watching him to see what the re
sult would be. He crawled about
I among the stubble awhile, and seemed
to be hunting for something; prescut
( ly he appeared to find what he wanted,
for he began to gnaw at a small straw
> about a foot long. In seventy-two sec-;
[ onds he had separated it from its root, ,
. and I noticed he had left one small
piece of root attached to the straw,
which was turned up now slightly,
i making a sort of book. Bringing this
| straw to the hole where his lost joint
, was he carefully let it down in it, and
. after a little maneuvering got the hook
I of the straw in the eye of his j nnt, i
then pulling it up with his head as far
as he could reach, and holding what he
gained with his tail, he soon had his
joint in bis mouth and then in its place.
Now, it is no use for any one to
doubt any longer about there being i
Jsuch a thing as a joint snake, for, ns I j
said before, I could write vou dozens
*
of just such instances of the intclli-;
gence of this snake.

A Doctor's Confession.
A young St. Louis doctor said to a >
reporter: Yon frequently see funny
expressions in print about doctors kill- ■
ing their [ atients. Well, the thing is
often true. I, myself, acknowledge to
having killed two patients. I killed .
them outright, and make no bones of
confessing the fact. One man I killed
by prescribing morphine at a time when
■ his system was not strong enough to
stand the dose. He left an estate, and
there was some excitement about di
viding the estate. His wife was charg
ed with having poisoned him, and the
remains were exhumed, and there was
a great to-do about the matter, but I
pulled through it all right. The other
man was suffering from a prolonged
spree, ami I gave him chloral which
(. killed him. It was an out nnd-out
murder, but the Coroner held an in
quest and attributed his death to jiin-
I jams. These two penpie I know I kill-
1 ed, and, as I atn yet young, and there
p I are more active poisonous agents than
I I those I have so far experimented with,
I I expect to kill more people before 1
■ die.

. The Clerk and the Heiress.
[, A singular story comes from the j
> province of Limburg, on the Dutch |
i frontier. The owner of a large man-1
- ufactory, who had married young and
; was left a widower, had an only (laugh-!
- ter, to whom all the most desired young ,
r men m the neighborhood were paying i
!. attention. Her father noticed that she j
t, treated them all with indifference and
, showed preference for a young clerk of
!, his, an orphan, with no means but bis
- salary. As he bad always given the
! greatest satisfaction in the performance |
of his duties, and was exceedingly well
I conducted, the father pnrsnaded that
, he would never venture to raise his i
) eyes to his daughter, who evidently was
> sincerely attached to him, made up his
J mind to broach the matter to him.
What was his surprise when the
s young clerk, after much hesitation,!
: told him he would only be too happy
i to regard the lady as a sister, but he;
- could not marry her, because he was
c not a man, but a young woman in dis
i guise—a disguise she had adopted
s when left an orphan in order to get a
b more lucrative situation. The conclu
sion of the story is that, instead of
marrying the daughter, she is the wife
of the father.
i We find in a recent poem that, ‘‘she
1 fell, alas! and hundreds wept.” Wc •
1 don’t believe it. If she fell, which
• looks reasonable enough, and there were
