WEDNESDA Y ...... 1 ......JUNE 24, 1885. KEYS., . . Bessie Chandler .J ' Long ago In the bid Granada, when the Moore were forced to flee. Each man locked his home behind him, taking in his flight the key. . Hopefully they watched and waited for the time to.come when they Should return from their long exile to those homes so far away. But the mansions in Granada they had left in all :. their prime t Vanished, as the years rolled onward, 'neath the crumbling touch of time. Like the Moors, we all have dwellings where we vainly long to be, And through all life's changing phases ever fast we hold the key. Onr fair country lies iebind us ; we are exiles, , , too, in truth; For no mpre shall we behold her. Our Granada's name is Youth. We have our delusive day-dreams, and rejoice " when, now and then, Some old heartstring stirs within us, and we feel our youth again. " We are young," we cry triumphant, thrilled with old-time joy and glee. Then the dream- fades slowly, softly, leaving nothing but the key ! . Fall Superior Coarta. 1885. FlAT DISTICT JUDGE SHEPHERD.

In an Arkansaw town several nights ago. a mob, led by a desperate man, marched to the jail, dragged a murderer from a cell and hurried with him' to the outskirts of the town. Each man wore an expression of determination features hardened by awful resolve. The prisoner attempted to speak, to beg for his life, but burly hands closed around his throat and the prayer he would have uttered went out in an inartic ulate gurgle. When the infuriated men reached a large oak, they halted. One of them threw a rope over a limb. "Gentlemen," said the prisoner," "please srive me a chance to say a word. " Be quick about it ,,r some one shouted. "Gentlemen, I admit that the evidence is against me, but as truly as we stand here, I killed that man in sell-aeience." "Killed what man?"' was asked. "Bill Bottleford." "Say, you ain't -the man that killed Bottleford, are you?' " Yes. unfortunately, I am the man." " Men," shouted the leader, "we have come in one of making a terrible mistake. Then turning to the prisoner the leader added: " We thought, sir, that you were the man that stole Nat Boyd's hah trap. Hop down offen the box. You are free." The Arkaaaaw Coroner's Qaeat. An Arkansaw coroner found a drunken man, and, thinking that he had a subject summoned a jnry. Just before a verdict of "cause of death unknown" was ren dered, the man got up, dusted his hat and asked : "Have any of you men seen anything of Ted Bryant?" The coroner was distrusted. " This is a pretty time to talk such nonsense," said he. "You were dead just a while ago, and now, sir, such an action on your part tending to cheat an honest official out of a few hard-earned dollars won't be toler ated by this community." "It was not my fault, cap'n." "Yes it was your fault. You could have kept still until this business was over, and still there would have been plenty of time to ask about your acquaintances. You've knocked us out of about fifteen dollars." "I'm sorry, cap'n. Say, will you set up the drinks if I tumble .over now and let the good work go ont " ' Yes. we'll erive vou a auart." The man laid down and the verdict was rendered, not according to the facts in the case, but in compliance with a pressure of circumstances. As a rule, the Arkansaw coroner is an honest man. DRAW POKES PLATERS Know How to Draw Official Prises. fNew York World. Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, has had a very successful campaign in Washington, He has been here for the last six weeks. Each day during his stay he has dropped one caustic criticism after another upon the unbusinesslike methods of the hew of ficials of the Administration. Although his manner has been very quiet a number who did not know rum very well nave im agined that he was prepari ng for a fierce and furious onslaught upon the Adminis tration. He has rather encouraged that view himself. The representative of a leading anti-Administration paper called upon him several Nveeks ago for the pur pose of getting him to come out in a formal interview denouncing the President. Bragg professed entire willingness so to do, but asked for more time. He said: "Wait until I go away. Just before I leave I will give you something very good." The news o.f Bragg's contemplated assault had spread throughout all of the gossiping circles oi vrasmngton. i,acn day Mr. Bragg succeeded in getting some office. The more he talked the more successful he seemed to be with the departments. To day the representative of the leading Re publican paper of the country called upon him with two short-band reporters and plenty of note-bookB for the purpose of taking down with perfect accuracy the nerce and runous diatribe i the spunky Wisconsin member. When the reporters had their paper all ready in Bragg's room he looked at them with a quiet smile on his face and said: "I have promised to give you a good thing before I went away. Iamjready now. " Thereupon he began j "i nave got everything I want. You are authorized to use my name in saying that I think that this is a very good Adminis tration." This closed Mr. Bragg's inter view. But it is very doubtful if it appears in me aioresaia jttepuDiican journal. Mr. Braggr is an experienced Doker Dlaver and understands the advantages 01 bluff in the game of politics, as well as in that oi cards.
