Sills & MurClie HARDWARE, Counter's Old Stand, Seaforth BRET HARTE'S ARRIVAL A Pistol Ball Spiced ills First Drink • In the Gold Dimmings "I entered the barroom. It was crowd- ed W MI HI iliere and -troders and a few smartly dressed professional looking men - Here again my vanity led me into extrai- agance. I could not bear to address the important, White sleeved and diamond pinned barkeeper as a mere boyish sup- pliant for information. I was silly enough to demand a drink and laid. down, alas! another quarter. "I had asked my question, the barkeep- er had handed Inc the decanter, and I had -poured out the stuff with as much ease and growu up confidence as 1 could as- sume when a singular incident occurred. As it had some bearing upon my fortune, I may relate it here. "The ceiling of the saloon was support- ed by a half dozen wooden columns about 18 inches -square, standing in a line par- allel with the counter of the l tiler and about two feet from it. The frent of the bar was crowded with customers, when suddenly, tomy astonishment, they, one and all, put down their glasses and hilt.- riedly backed into the spaces between the columns. Afthe same mom nt a shot was fired from the street, th ough the large open doors that stood at right an- gles with the front of the co nter and • the columns. • "The bullet raked and *Thu ered the moldings of the counter front, but with no other damage. The shot wa returned from the upper end of the bar, and then, for the first time, I became a are that two men with leveled revol ers were shooting at each other through the sa- loon. "The bystanders in range were fully. protected by the 'Wooden columns. The barkeeper had had ducked below thie counter at the Orst shot. • Six shots. were ..-ex- ' changed by the duelists, but as far as IY could see nobody was hurt. A rnirrot was smashed, and my glass had part of Its rim carried cleanly away by the third shot and its contents spilled. "I had remained standing -near the counter, and I presume I may aye been protected by the 'celumni, but he whole thing passed so quickly and I ,as so ut- terly absorbed in its dratnati novelty that I cannot recall having th :slightest sensation of physical fear. - Ind ed I had been much more frightened in positions of less peril. . "My only Concern, and this • vas para- mount, was I might heti.' y by any word or movement my youthft lness, as- tonishment or unfamiliarity witi such an experience. I think that any shy, vain sthoolboy will understand this nd would probably feel as I did. So s rong was this feeling that while the sting of gun- powderwas still in my nostril I moved toward the bar, and, taking up my broken glass, .said to the barkeeper, perhaps somewhat slowly and diffidently: " 'Will you please fill me anot er glass? It's not my fault if this was brOken! 'The iijtrk�eper, rig] lig, flufthed and eli- cited. fron "behind the bar, looked at rue Ivith a queer smile and then nassed the 1 decanter. and a fresh glass. heard a laugh and an oath behind me and my elleeks flushed as 1 took a singe gulp of the fiery spirit and hurried • away."-* Youth's Compaulon. i Sir Astley Cooper. - When Sir Astley Cooper lived in Broad street, London, he had every day a nu- merous morning levee of city patients. The room into which they were shown -would hold from 40 to 50 people, and of- ten callers, after waiting for hours, were dismissed without haying seen the doc- tor. His man Charles, with more than his master's dignity, would seiy to disap- pointed applicants when they reappear- ed on the followiag morning: "I dial not sure that we shall be able to attend to you, for our list is full for the day, but -if you will wait, I will See what we can do ' for you.'" Eventually his manual income rose to more 'than 115,000; the largest sum he ever made in one year was I21,- 000. A West Indian millionaire gave him his highest fee. Be had successfully undergone a painful operation; and:sit- ting up in bed he threw his nightcap at Ceoper, saying, "Take that!" "Sir,' re- plied Sir Astley, "I'll pocket the affront," and on reaching home he found in the cap a check. for 1,000 guineas. -Gentle- man's Magazine. . Thinks Columbus Made a Mistake. We liked Americans very much indeed -the, kind of Arnerkans one meets -but we did not like the American mob, the human background, the kind one doesn't meet; and it is unfortunately the mob, the human .background, and not the chosen remnant in the foreground, that gives a Country its character, its dominant Rote.

With just enough to eat and a decent suit to wear, what does a fellow need besides but to find a quiet opot wher, , with a good novel, he can, in his min4l, be rich as Croestis or in a position to sympathize with Lazarus, where he can read if he wishes or can lay down his book end watch the ever varying phases of nature, where he can be as lazy as h chooses and it is nobody's business, where he has toil and no trouble and isonl aroused from 'his reverie by the ever hu gry chil- dren calling him to supper. Such exist- ence is pleasure, but it only falls to the lot of old men who have no care tp be rich or great. -Central City (Nb.) Dem- ocrat. A Historical Tree.

"That reminds me of 'a good etory," said her companion. "You knost that Queen Victoria as a crank on the slubject of needlework and spends much time learning new things in embroidetiy and crochet work. Well,a feiv years ago she was spending. some time at Wiesbaden, and she used to drive to the bazar and look at the needlework, while people • looked at' her and wondered why she would persist in wearing the old,' rusty bonnet. One day the young woman who u.snally waited on her showed heti what yeti just showed to .mei--;a .branfl new stitch -and was asked to call the. next day and tach her majesty how -to make the job several daYs later, ut in it.

Poor Poker Players. 1 A group of old time -sports were lalling poker stories a few nights ago, and imme- boOy remarked that the elder Herrmann, the magician, might easily have mede a fortune had he turnedhis attentipn to gambling.• • ; "I've heard that before," said one of the party, chuckling, "and it always amused me. Why, my dear sir, Alexan- der Herrmann was one of the p‘orest poker players that oral' drew to aE. bob- tail. He liked a social game and pingged away at it all his life, but he was. tnever anything but a ma w aiaaateur. pood poker players are born, and .it simply wasn't in him. As far as being Ile to manipulatew the cards as concern d, he couldn't do it, even had he been SO dis- posed, which of ,course he wasn'ti He could perform wonderful tricks, bult that class of work is something entirely dif- ferent from what is called adv 'ntage playing. I -have known four or fie fine sleight of hand performers, and not one of them could do a thing with 'nit deck; in an ordinary game. To do suceessful crooked work in short cards requires not only great dexterity of a kind entirely distinct from stage tricks, but also, A pe- culiar temperament. All the metal who became famous for that sort of tilling in the old days were of the same gleneral type, and, when I come to think about it, those I knew looked more or less alike. They could perform extraordinary feats, but it required years of practice and set- ting . grneverything else aside. No profes- sional juggler could spare the tiMe to , i , "The best proof that Herrmann was unfamiliar with the tricks of the c4trd ta- ble is thathe was continually being made the victim. He made no secret tof the fact that he had been fleeced tinjae and again, and I happen to know perionally that he was once swindled outof1a con- siderable amount by one of the old st and stalest devices known to the fra ernity. When the tking was explained o him afterward, he was deeply disgusted, but he had never suspected it at the tame." - _New Orleans Times -Democrat. t - The lEtendstnan of the ToNsler. A picturesque official in Englanfl_ is the headsman and executioner of the Tower of Loudon. He makes a unique figure in' his costume of the sixteenth century, con- sisting of !Ong scarlet; tunic slashed with black velvet, loose ted knicke4bockers and red stockings, with rosette& of red, white and blue ribbon at the k es and upon the low shoes.

But from the very moment that -capital punishment had been decreed against hini. the edge of the ax pointed omiaously his way. Black, but White.
