The Doughty Pioneer Beat HU Co mniiche I'uptor, Big Laugh, at the Game and 'l'hen Kiaked Ills Life Again to Save a White Girl Captive. Old “Wildcat" Smith is just about the last living one of that famous band of pioneers who drove the Indians to the mountains, killed the panthers and bears, and blazed the tracks through the trackless wilderness. He does not look like a lawyer, but he has, never theless, sat upon a camp stool and de cided cases of the greatest importance. He does not bear any very marked re semblance to a general, but he has com manded a considerable force in battle, and, while military critics might have complained that he was deficient in strategic ability none ever charged him with lack of valor. Few people would discover in his face or manner any of those traits that distinguish a duelist, but he has demonstrated that he possesses them all in an eminent de gree by ordering “pistols and coffee for two" more than once. Upon one occa sion he had the audacity to invite Gen eral Houston, who was at that period president of the republic, to “come out and exchange shots” with him. He says that the old warrior “floored” him by coolly making a note on a slip of paper and putting it in his desk. In answer to the enraged challenger's inquiry the general simply said: “Mr. Smith, you are the fortieth. When I have killed these other 39 scoundrels who have challenged me, I will accommodate you. Be patient, sir.” Smith came to Texas in 1836 and served in the Texas army through all the long wars with Mexico. He was also a soldier in the great civil war, and when that ended he enlisted to fight Indians and remained on the bor der until there were no more Co manches to shoot. He has been a man of war from his youth up, and in his old age he carries a soldier’s musket with a fixed bayonet, and continues to make war on all kinds of game and “varmints. " He wanted to go to Cuba, and when the boys insisted that he was too old and feeble he threw off his coat and challenged the whole company to fight him Upon one occasion Smith was cap tured by a roving band of Comanches, many of whom were well known to him. They frankly told him that they intend ed to make him run the gantlet and burn him at the stake when they reach ed their village on Devil river. The cap tive bad a flask of whisky, which the chief took away from him. After tak ing several drinks the old warrior asked Smith if he could play seven up. Smith proudly boasted that he could beat any man living playing that par ticular game. This answer appeared to put the Indian on his mettle, and heat once proposed that they should-halt by the .aside of the warpath and play for the highest stakes that mortal man ever waged on a game of chance —life. Smith eagerly agreed to the proposal, and they sat down under a tree and dealt the cards on a blanket. The other warriors dismounted and anxiously watched the game The chief's name was Big Laugh, so called on account of a natural grin that marked his features. After a short time they stood 6 to 6, and it was Smith’s deal. He ran the cards off and turned a jack from the bottom. Smith had won his liberty, and Big Laugh told him ho might go, but the Texan had something else in view. He might easily have walked away, but ’ he determined upon another act which I marks him as a generous soul possessed jof the highest courage. There was a young v bite girl tied on one of the | ponies, who was weeping in the most ■ piteous agony. Smith coolly proposed to play another ! game, staking his life against the lib . erty of this young girl. Big Laugh was I evidently pleased with the white man's i courage, ami after taking another drink ihe began to shuffle the cards. The ; young girl was cut loose from the pony I and made to stand on the blanket, : while the thongs fur binding Smith, in ! case he lost, were thrown at her feet. I Again they played a close game, and at i the end of a short time stood 6 and 6, but it was Big Laugh’s deal. With what awful interest that poor girl must have watched the turning of that trump! The Indian slowly dealt the cards, and, peeping at the trump, a hideous grin spread all over his face. “I was sure that all was lost and was just in the act of springing at his throat." says Smith, “when he turned the queen of hearts fur a trump. He could not give me, of course, and I held both the ace and deuce of hearts.” Big Laugh was by this time hilarious ly drunk and in a most excellent good humor He not only kept his word and gave Smith and the young girl their liberty, tut be furnished them two po nies arid allowed Smith to take his gun. The liberated captives reached the set tlement in safety, where Smith's strange story would never have been credited had not the young girl borne witness that it was true. She is still living on a fine plantation on the Brazos and is the widow of no less a personage than Colonel Sam Jones, who was killed at the battle of Shiloh. “Wildcat" Smith lives in a little cabin in the woods and devotes his whole time to hunting bear and deer and sometimes smaller game.—St. Louis Gio be-Democra t. The Supreme Test. “You are all right, ” said the doctor after he had gone through with the regulation thumping and listening with his patient. “Not a trace of heart dis ease. Fifteen dollars, pleasel” The patient drew a long breath and remarked: “I am sure now I have no heart disease. If I had, I should have dropped dead when you mentioned your fee. ’’ —Boston Commercial Bulletin. MYSTERIOUS LIGHT AT SEA. Three Steumei-H Didn't Ind er. land It, but the Prince of Monaco Knew. The Princeof Monaco has been known since 1885 as an enthusiastic student of the sea and its various forms of life. He usually spends his summers in the study of oceanographic problems, and his cruises halve on some occasions been extended almost to the coasts of Amer ica. He delivered a lecture before the Royal Geographical society in London in which he toliFthis incident Guo afternoon, while in the bay of Biscay, he sank the trap in which he collected specimens of sea life. It went to the bottom in over 12,000 feet of water, and as night approached he fas toned to the wire attached to it an elec tric buoy and then stood off a mile or so. It did not happen to occur to him that he was right in the track of steam ers plying between northern Europe and the Mediterranean, but he was re minded of the fact later. As he and his 14 sailors were watch ing with a good deal of satisfaction the swaying buoy with its brilliant illu mination a steamer’s lights came into view. It was soon evident that the steamer was curious to know the mean ing of the illumination, for she altered her course and made for the light. She knew that no fishing boats came out so far ft - , in land ami - ■ determined to solve the mystery Up she came to within a. quarter of a mile of the buoy, slowed up for a minute, and then start ed ahead, perhaps a little disgusted at the incident that had bir d her several miles out of her course. She had hardly got away when a sec ond steamer came into view, and she, too, bore down upon the lighted buoy The marines on the prince's vessel un derstood by this time that the illumina tion was probably believed to be evi dence of a disaster. Just as the prince’s steamer was moving up to explain mat ters she was nearly run down by one of the large liners in the oriental trade, which had also left her course to render what assistance she could. The swell was very heavy, and the prince feared a collision as the three vessels approached the light like moths around a candle. He therefore veered off and the other vessels, after standing by for a few minutes, went on their way and probably never learned the cause of that night’s illumination ~at sea But the incident gave the prince a pointer He carefully refrained there after from exhibiting his electric buoy on any of the much traveled ocean routes. —New York Sun. FOOLED IN A HORSE TRADE. This Animal PoNieimed Several Re markable Traits. A prominent English landlord was one day riding across a common ad jacent to his preserves when he over took one of his tenants, who was also mounted After the usual salutations they rode on in silence for some min utes, when the tenant slightly spurred his horse, a balky animal, whereupon ■it dropped to its knees. “What's the matter with your horse?” asked his lordship. The em barrassed tenant remarked byway of explanation that his steed always acted that way when there was game to be found. A moment later, to the tenant’s sat isfaction and surprise, a frightened hare jumped out of some bushes near by. This so impressed the landlord that he at once drove a bargain by which he secured the tenant's barebacked beast in exchange for his own -fine mount, perfectly saddled. With much agility the tenant leaped to his new horse, and all went well until they came to a small stream, whereat the landlord's new - nag immediately balked. A drive home with the spurs brought it again to its knees. ’•Hello, what’s up now? There’s no game here,” said his lordship. ‘•True, my lord,” was the ready re ply, “but I forgot to tell you ’ee's as good for fish as 'ee is for game. ” —San Francisco Argonaut The Audience Got Angry. There was a scene of wild excitement during the last week of May, 1892, at the Gaiety, London, and all owing to the singular behavior of a policeman. Two popular entertainers were on the stage, and one of them asked the audi ence a little conundrum, “Why is a po liceman an utter scoundrel?” A gentleman in blue who was appar ently on duty in the body of the thea ter at once took offense. He jumped on to the stage and, seizing the offender, attempted to drag him off. The audience rose in indignation Men shook their fists and shouted, “What has ho done?” One frenzied young lady in the front of the gallery seized a tumbler and would have thrown it at the policeman if her arm had not been arrested. The policeman then dragged hie cap tive off the stage amid the hisses and shouts of the audience. But anger was speedily changed to laughter when Mr Policeman reappeared with his victim and stood revealed as one of the Cosmo trio. I never saw an audience so com pletely taken in.—London Correspond ence. I’iKft and Witchcraft.

I An i:%nmplc of What (he ’lan of the Cainern I'ndiirrs. A young photographer, when asked ' what sort of subjects presented the greatest difficulties to him, replied i without a moment’s hesitation, “Ba -1 bios” 1 “For instance,” he continued, “I look photographs of a little 10-montbs ' old fellow the other day in six different 1 positions. Yesterday 1 sent proofs to , his mother, and today she brought them in. “ ‘l’m sorry.’ rhe said, without any obvious grief, 'but none of these nega tives will do.' “ ‘Not one of the six?' I inquired, though I was prepared for what was to follow. “ ‘No,’ she said, 'l’m afraid not. You see, I lik • this one very well, though, of course, it doesn't do baby justice, but his Aunt Ellen says it's an absolute caricature of the dear little fellow. The one she likes I don't care 1 for at all, amt hi papa says ho should never know f-r \ ;. m it was intended, ' it looks so er ' yis such a sun- 1 shiny child. “ ‘The one he likes, this smiling one, I shouldn't consider for a moment, for ’ it makes baby’s mouth look so much ’ larger than it really is. ' “ ‘His grandmother chose that one, ’ but as Cousin Fanny said, there’s a very queer look to the child’s eyes in it —very queer' However, she likes that • one where he’s almost crying, that so ber one. You ought to have heard ba by’s grandfather when she said she liked it. “ ‘He really decided the thing, for what he said seemed so sensible. He asked me why I didn’t have some more taken and see if there wouldn’t be at least one that would really look like ’ baby. Now, when can he sit again?

But you’ve been in the business how long?” 1 “Fifteen years. ” “You ought to know by this time about how many strokes of the razor it ■ requires to shave a man, supposing that you go over his face a second time.” “I might make a guess at it.” “All right. What's your guess? Re ’ member that I have a hard beard.” “Well, I should say about 125.” “You’re a good guesser, I don’t 5 think. Some time ago I got into the g habit of counting the strokes of a razor ’ every time I was being shaved. It’s a • good way to employ your mind. In 3 shaving me you just made 732 strokes with the razor. ” r "I wouldn’t have believed it. ” ' “No man believes it until he takes ’ the trouble to count. In my case I never 1 knew the number to fall below 500, 3 and it has gone more than 800 at times. I call it a stroke every time the razor is brought forward ami then drawn 3 back. I should judge that there are no fewer than 500 strokes in a first class *• shave. You remember that, and proba -9 bly you can win a few bets.”—Now 1 York World. Bank Impertinence. The Philadelphia Record tells of an 1 old Pennsylvania farmer who recently 9 came into possession of a check for 9 S2OO. It caused him a great deal of anx -3 iety, and for a long time he could not muster up the courage to have it cashed. 3 Finally, while ou a trip to town, he summoned np nerve enough and, stroll ' ing into the bank, presented the check. 3 The teller glanced at it hastily, and 3 then, after the fashion of his kind, brusquely asked, “What denomina tion.” “Lutheran, gol durn it! But what’s f thet got tew do with it?” as brusquely 1 replied the old farmer, to the great as ' -a u iiu nt us thu Lank ' tlien.l It required several minutes’ explana -3 tion before the teller could get the old ' man to understand his question, and ’ then the latter took his money and de parted, with sundry growls derogatory ‘ to banks in general. 1 Ikiual to the Occiimloii.
