'The Doctor’s Tale. From the Omaha Bee. ■“I was living in 'a little Missouri •owa, 11 said the man of medicine, 'Swrugglir g along as b^st I- could •isgainst ad verse fate and the disgust- itig healthiness of the ‘community Morse-thieving was"a very commoii thing in that part of the country, and some of the residents of the county u which 1 lived had formed an anti- irarse-thief-association. When a horse was stolen it became the duty of every member of the association to Thoroughly arm himself, mount his steed, »nd start in pursuit of the thief. One day one of the members of the association lost astring of three valuable horses. '* Within less than half anhour after the loss had been discovered a band of thirty members of the association were in hot pursuit of the thief. At 7:30 o’clock in the evening we ran across him in a thick clump of bushes, 1 ho horses staked about him. We hosed in, and in less time then it takes to tell it the horse thief was under ar- :*est. A ‘court’ was organized with- >rit a moment's delay, and a trial lasting not longer than ten minutes followed. The fellow was found jguilty and sentenced to die. I l*eit sorry for the scamp—tried to intercede in his behalf; he was a young fellow with whom T had been acquainted for some time, and SMITH’S SALOON. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. “I hear that Smith has sold out his saloon,” said one of a couple of middle- aged men, who sat sipping their beer and eating a bit of cheese in a Smith- field street saloon last. Friday night.. “Yes,” responded the other, rather slowly ‘ , • “What was the reason? I thought he was just coining money there.” The other nibbled a cracker ab stractedly for a moment and then said: “It’s rather a funny story. Smith, you know, lives on Mount Washington; right near me, where he has an excellent wife, a nice home and three as pretty children as ever played outdoors. All boys, you know, the oldest not over 9, and all about the same size. Smith is a pretty re spectable sort of a citizen, never drinks or gambles, and thinks the world of his family. Well, he went home one afternoon last week,| and found his wife out shopping or something 6f that sort. He went on through the house into the back yard, and there, under an apple tree, were the little fellows playing. They had a bench and some bottles and tumblers and were play ing ‘keep saloon.” He noticed that they were drinking something out of a pail, and that they acted tipsy. The youngest, who was behind the bar, had a towel tried around his waist, ——a—m— horn I knew to come from highly fand setting the drinks up pretty free. • peoted parents in Illinois. It was J Smith walked.over and looked in the ■ “ ' pail. It was beer, and two of the boys were so drunk that they stagger ed. A neighbor's boy, a couple of years older, lay asleep behind the tree. “ ‘My God, boys you must not drink that,’ he said as he lifted ^lie six-year-old from behind the bench. “ ‘We’s playing’ s’loon, papa, an’ I was a sellin’ it just like you'.’ said the little fellow. Smith poured out the beer, carried the drunken boy home and then took his own boys in and put them to bed. When his wife came back she found him crying like a child. He came back down town that night and sold out his business and says he will never sell or drink another drop of liquor. His wife told mine about it, and she broke down crying while she told it.” This is a true story, but the name was not Smith. if. sio use. The captors insisted that iu must die, and only ] aU gbed at my eiitreatie-. To add to my disgust, I was selected as the one to shoot hi m. ‘Sav your prayers, boy,’ said one The men to the young fellow 7 , w^° had been tied to a tree. The poor cuss didn’t know how to l-ray and asked me to help him. I didn t know anything but the Lord’s prayer, and tried that. -It went so well, and seemed to relieve the poor tel low so much, that I repeated it several times. “Just as I rose from my knees the details of a plan whereby I might ~ aye the man’s life flashed into my siikI. I whispered them into his ear, and his grateful look, as hope was re- f - r e d in his heart, I shall never forget. it was growing dark and the men were becoming impatient, so that I -determined to hurry matters to a evisis. I had a 'double-barreled muzzle-loading shot-gun; and wilder pretence that the loads were not fresh I fired them off. reloaded them, not with shot, but with some very small pills which I happened to have with me. I was pretty well watched and trembled in- w£>5xlly lest I might be detected. But \ wasn’t. I measured off a goodly distance on the ground and fired, taking a low aim. Tile horse thief fell over apparently dead. The vigi- * antes mounted their horses and drove away, leaving me to bury the victim. In less than ten minutes the -orpse was free and making a bee 'i»e for Kansas. The dose of pills had wot injured him in the least.” Startling* But True. Willis Point,. Texas.-Dec. 1. 1885.
