I have always found the New York policemen kind enough, but in a blase and cynical fashion. It I were analyzing their character, take it on the average, I shouldn’t think of in- cluding sympathy among their predomi- nant qualifies. They accept most ever ts with the stolidity of long custom. They are as little affected by any_ordlnary accident “Well,” said the western woman, with an apparent mental shake, “you see how different it was. I hadn’t happened to see a lost child before, and it was a revelation to me. The little fellow himself made my hears big with admiration. was so plucky, so reserved in his tron“ 0, so dig- nillt'd under the most trying scrutiny. He did no: wail as most children would have done. I don’t think he ever shed a tear. He kept his little lips pressed grimly so- gether and said never a. word except when some one spoke to him. Then he answered briefly, and his eyes pathetically searched the face before him for a ray of h01.e. When they gave him candy instead of hope, he accepted it- with a grave ‘Clghank youi’ but he did not eat it, and he showed that he found the dcnouemem disappoint- ing. “I don‘t think that half of them saw the child who really stood there, his little grimy hand in the policeman’s protecting palm. That child were a blue and white sailor suit, and his hair was red. But I looked into the women’s eyes and I saw far different things. I saw a toddlins 2-year-old in a sheer white muslin frock, and its hair wasn’t red, but golden. And I saw a sturdy littlo chap in trousersâ€" such tight trousers and such fat little logs â€"and his hair was soft and brown. I saw a curly head lying on a. pillow and two tiny hands crossed on the little breast. and they were strangely still. But then I looked into that woman’s eyes only through the tears which blinded her. “Then it dawned on mo in a flash. There was a lost child. That explained ev- erythingâ€"the consideration of the crowd, which fox-bore to press too closeiyahnut the frightened little stray; the sympathy which drugged them back to it as if by a strong undercurrent; the smiles, half tender and half reassuring, with which some of them had spoken to it encourag- ingly. I watched the faces in the crowd, and for once I found human nature the same as I have known it where you don‘t have to scrape off the varnish of indiii‘erâ€" ence in order to see what is underneath. The eyes of the women softened. Some of them pushed their hands up under their spotted veils and brushed the tears away. Their mouths, those tired, irritated, un- loving and unlovahlc months, which I call ‘the shopping district mouth,’ relaxed and curved into softer lines. Their whole face seemed to he remoldvd hy the forceof some inner feeling, and a diti'erent soul than that of the bargain hunter looked out of their eyes. “It wasn't; a compact crowd, such as you generally: see. It was more inducisiVe and. wavering. People would go a few steps, then turn to look back.‘ Sometimes. they went fully :20 feet and then Went. back again. As I go: nearer I saw that most. of them were women. That in itself distin- guishcd it; from the ordinary crowd. Peo- plo were looking down toward the side- walk, and at first I thought. that the at- traction was merely some amusing me- chanical toy. But when I saw the faces. I knew I was wrong. Many of them were smiling. but not with amusement. Ten- dcrimss, pity, gentleness, reassurance, that Was what. I read in the faces, and it puz- zled me tremendously until I saw a police- man standing in the center of the crowd. woman vig :rously. “But the othvr day,” she went on, her exprvssinn sai'tuning, “I saw 24 diffvrvnt crowd. and I suppose it was as typically a New York one as any of the others.

In a farmhouse not far from Festiniog a farmer’s wife used to cook the dinner for the laborers. Before the meat every man used to be given a basiin of soup. One day the farmer's wife Went away and left her little daughter to get the men their dinner. After theyhad had the soup the little girlggid to them: The well disposed youth, entering first into bad company, is shocked and disgust- ed at every turn at what his sight beholds and what he is compelled to hear. The good principles which he had imbibed ring in his car an alarming lesson against the wickedness of his companions. But, alas, this sensibility. is of short continuance. The next jovial meeting makes the horrid picture of yesterday more easily endured. Rectitnde is soon thought a severe rule, an inconvenient restraint. A few pangs of conscience now and then whisper to him that he once had better ways and though ts. But even these by degrees die away, and he who at first was shocked even at the ap- pearance of vice may be formed by custom into a profiigate leader of vicious pleas- uresâ€"New York Ledger. The Power of Habit. The power of habit is particularly exem- plified in the efl‘ects produced by the com- puny we keep. The utmost vigilance, there- fore, should be exercised on this important subject. The great power and force of custom form an argument against keep- ing bad company. However shocked we may he at the first approaches of vice, this shocking appearance goes off upon an in- timacy with it. Custom will soon render tho most disgustful object familiar to our View, and this is indeed a kind provision of nature, to render labor and toil and danger, which are the lot of man, Inez-e easy to him. Some Americans seem to think that a haughty demeanor will have the effect of a title upon their fellow passengers. But it generally does not. Sir Walter Scott is credited with repeating Montaigne‘s re- mark that every man knew some one thing better than he did, and when he met a stranger, therefore, he engaged him in conversation to find that one thing out. In Scott’s day to be aeonrtcous gentleman or a gracious lady under all circumstances was not considered bad form. One of the most popular men I ever saw on shipboard was a New Yorker whose family, whose social position and whose public station and influence are most enviable. Wherever he is is the best society. On the trip I have in mind he seemed to have said or done or looked something amiable toward everybody. Yet I don’t believe anybody tried to presume upon his civility then or afterwardâ€"Lewis Morris Iddin gs in Scrib- ner’s. Some Hints on M mic-rs It \Vere Well to Observe at Sea. The shortness of the voyage has largely killed off the cordiality which is apt to break out among frllow pas::engers long at sea together, despite themselves. This short period of good. fellowship is not so repugnant to an experienced traveler as to some others if there happen to be agree- able people on board. He does not misun- derstand civility as an effort on the port of the people to mal-zo his acquaintance. He knows enough to mind his own business on sea or land. But the man who relaxes conventionalities notat all on shipboard is apt; to have a pretty dull time, which, however, is just what a dull man likes. A civil word, a passing remark, or even two remarks, can do a person of tact no harm nor lead to social complications later. A friendly attitude is more sen- sible than standing conspicuously aloof from everything or than repressing all signs of interest in existence. or than rigidly disregarding the fact that; any one is on the ship besides oneself, and de- fensive airs are generally ofiensiveâ€"at least they are airs.

TH‘ .MTCHMAN, LINDSAY, THURSDAY. MAY 27TH. 3897 In the fall of 1870, when San Bernardino had grown to a village of 4,000 people and the pueblo of face Angeles had become a place of 8,000 Americans and Mexicans, a ewmstor was killed and his wagon robbed one night by highway robbers. The people at San Bernardiho were deeply stirred at the deliberate assassination for money. When Geor e Peters and Henry Walling were broug t to the new jail there to await trial for the crime, the male part 01 the population could not wait for law to take its course where facts were so self evident and went down to the jail one night in a crowd. The jailer was cajoled into deliv- ering the keys tothe masked men,and the two murderers were soon hauled from their cells. Peters kicked and swore and knocked two men dowa as he was hustled from the jail, and in a moment of anger was shot dead. Walling was put in a drny on the public streets and, escorted by over 100 men, was taken to the oak tree and there hanged in the moonlight. He was the last man who went to his death at the allows treeâ€"Philadelphia Times. Algernon (math; 3 «lbâ€"Whit are these'nolaee I bier, Mina _ d?

The nooses were put about the neck of each of the five prisoners. Then the pris- oners were forcibly boosted up into the low oak tree, while the armed cowboys cir- cled about the oak to keep a close eye on their game. When the free ends of the ropes had been fastened about the limb of the tree and the arms of the doomed thieves had been tied, the men were ordered to leap down. Two did leap, cursing their captors as they jumped into midair. The other three held been, but were pushed off the limb on which they sat, going down with n‘jerk. One of the limbs bent so low with its human weight that the boots of one of the strangling men just touched the ground, and a horseman held the limb up at arm’s length while the hanging man slowly expired. The bodies were cut down a few days later and were buried beneath where they were hanged. The graves are pointed out to this day. At last, after months of watching and some cowboy detective work, a gang of nine cattle thieves was surrounded by a posse of four times that number of Mexi- can and American cowboys at tho mouth of Santa Anita canyon. There was a ter- rific short battle. Three of the cowboys were shot dead and several were wounded. Four of the thieves were killed. The cow- boys were so meddened at the killing of their companions and so incensed at the memory of the robberies that they had so long suffered that they abandoned all con- sideration of a trial for the remaining cap- tured thieves, and, having bound and lash- ed their captives, started forthwith down across the valley for the gallows tree. All the men were on horseback, and there was no way of building a temporary platform for the execution under a limb of the tree. To make the hanging as much of an in- dignity and as torturous as the cowboys could conceive nooses were made from the cowhide lariats on the saddles of the cat- tlemen. But the most sensational and memo- rable execution that ever took place at the on}: tree gallows was on May 16, 1863. The war of the rebellion was on at. that time, end hundreds of rascals, all round bud men, invaded southern California and Arizona. to escape army duty. The war made an extraordinary demand for cattle, and for two years the Mexican cattle men were harassed day and night by a gang of cattle thieves, who would secretly drive the cattle feeding in the valleys and can- yons miles from the ranch house to the foothills, and then by stealth would urge the beasts in small droves down through San Bernardino county to Banning, where mscally agents would buy the cattle and get them out of the state at their leisure. found the owners at home, they shot and stabbed the whole family to death. A few days later, when the fleeing populace hill]. recovered from its fright; and returned to Los Angeles. the fearful murder was known. A posse of Mexican ridersâ€"the best in the worldâ€"was organized and started out across the plains toward the rum-est, neighboring people, Sun Bernar- Llino, nine miles away. The murdering and thieving gang was trailed up to the anou pass, and there caught. There were seven in the gang. The pessc lashed the wretchvs to their horses and started back to Los Angeles. On the way the pursucrs with their cap- biurs Stopped 1n rest in the shade cf the oak. Two of the mptiws, who were loosed, :0 as to let them food themselves, made a desperate attempt to run away. '1‘th Wore caught after a. hard struggle, and in tho aznger at their attempt to elude justice four of the prisoners were hanged then and there. When General John C. Fremont and his troops, acting in conjunction with Com- modem Stockton, seized the quaint old Mexican pueblo of Los Angclcs and raised the stars and stripes there in June, 18-18, the first: recorded <22: ~utions took place at; tho big oak tree. In the brief fight that: took place and amid the fleeing of half the tcrriflvd Mexican population from tho pu- eblo when the American cannonading be- gan, a gang of half breeds improved the opportunity to rob by visiting homes (ha- cicudzzs) on the outskirts of the town.

Years ago, before the Americans poured into the valleys of south- ern California, the tree had no counter- part for several hundred miles adjacent. The tree was what is known in Call- :‘urnia as a live oakâ€"in the land where very few trees grow naturally, and Where, a generation ago, one might travel for days with ox or mule team across the burning sandy wastes without once finding a tree mulvr which to rest in the shade.

Sir James Sievewright was himself of the opinion that American locomotives and trucks were eminently suited to the class of work required between Cape Town and Pre- toria, 1,000 miles away, but that there was one insurmountable objectionâ€"namely, that represented by the prejudices of Eng- lish railway employees. At one time two Baldwin locomotives had been brought out from Philadelphia, and also a dozen freight cars. So long as the American manager remained with them they worked very well, but when he returned to America the authorities discovered that everything he- gan to go wrong. The workmen, who had been accustomed to English machinery dis- liked any innovation, and took particular satisfaction in creatingidifl‘lculties for the new engines.

How a Long Headed Farmer Utilized the Habits of the Insects. Along the banks of the Cape Fear river in \orth Carolina are lowlands behind w hich lies a. higher lox 01 or bench. The lowlands are subject to more or less fro- qucnt overflow by froshots, which are de- structive to crops planted thereon. A num- ber of years ago a farnmr, resident in the vicinity, made a very comfortable sum of money by insuring his neighbors’ crops against these freshcts. His unvarying suc- coss as an insurer was for many yours a profound mystery to the people of the region. The years when he declined to in- suro were invariably years of destructive overflow. The years when he was willing to insure were equally certain to be seasons of exemption from disaster. In the earlier days in England this man’s reading of the future would have brought him some unpleasant experience as a dabbler if not an adopt in black art. In the middle ages of Europe he would probably have been revered as a prophet and saint. Yet his information came from no occult soucre. Observation had shown him that a certain species of wasp, which built its home in the ground, built some years on the lowlands and other years up- on the higher level. Experience taught him that when the wasps built on the low- lands there were no freshets and when they built on the higher ground the low- er would some time during the season be submerged. The man had simply noted an instance of that little understood presci- encc manifested by certain insects and ani- mals, a better knowledge of which might even be of service to our national weather bureau. It was only at his death that he revealed his secretâ€"New York Post.- He said at once, “Why, yes; I’d just as lief 5 'up with you as not,” and threw himself off his pony and mounted my un‘ comfortable brass, while I put myseli astride of Jeff. The general had always been a famous rider, even when a cadet; at stt Points. When he rode or drove a strange horse, not many minutes elapsed before he and the animal seemed to under‘ stand each other perfectly. In my experi- ence I have never seen a better rider, or one who had a more steady seat, no mat- ter what sort of horse he rode. But: on this OCCLlSllln it soon became evident; that his box." and that; of the animal were not al- Ways in touch, and he saw that all thc pa. ty Were considerably amused at the jaw ing to which he was subjected. In the mountime Je‘f Davis was pacing along with a smoothness which made me feel as if I were seated in a rocking chair. When we reached headquarters, the general dis- mounted in a manner which showed that ho was pretty stifl from the ride.

He remarked, “Oh, all horses are pretty much alike as fa ' as the comfort of their gait is concerned.” “In the prcscnt instance,” I answered, “I don’t think you would like to swap with me, general.” Owing to the hcat and dust the long ride was exceedingly uncomfortable.
