' Sow Trdn Robbing is Sons in the Far West St. Louis, Feb. 29. A special to IheTostrDispatch from Pine Bluffs, Ark., says : -In Arkansas, on the St, Louis, Arkansas & Texas Railroad, hi-' about 20 miles below this city, as train No. 2, bound north, stopped at Kingbland, about one o'clock this morning,-three men stepped on the platform of the baggage carnext to the enginet'iAbbuta mile from Kings land the .train suddenly came to a standstill and Conductor Browning stepped the door to see what was wrong;" As he opened' the door bullet whistled by his head and he at once retired inside the car, where he remained during the trouble The robbers went to w6rk in a coo and systematic way. They boarded (the engine and commanded the en gineer and fireman tor hold up their .hands. Taking the engineer and fireman with them, the robbers or dered them toicall on the messenger io open the car. They did as order ed, but he refused. Theiv began a fusillade which lasted while the at tempts were being' made to force a way int the car. The fireman was ordered to take a slack bar from the engine and break in the door of the car i he obeyed, but as he could not get in, after a minute's delay the robbers set the car on fire. This forced the . messenger to open the door, and the engineer and fireman were made to get into the car first their bodies thus protecting the rob bers they- climbed in, the messen ger opened the sate without further -trouble and. the contents were quickly transferred to a sack. The exact amount taken is not known, though it is believed to be large. The mail and passengers were not mo lested. The engineer and fireman of this .train were in ch arge of the train rob bed at Genoa, Arkansas, a few weeks ago. The messenger received a note at Texarkana, warning him to watch out, but be paid no attention to it, believing it to be a joke. The rob bers were just thirty-five minutes doing Jbe work. A late report states that between $5,000 and $10,000 was taken. Some place the loss much higher. The sheriff and posse are in pursuit of .the robbers. ' No. 10. And at LivingPricesW c. VOLAPUK.

But one thing is certain, it has contrib uted more to the unequal distribu tion wealth, to the creation of a state of contention between labor, than all other causes combined. The above unique piece of advice,' like the "Vi car of Wakefield," deserves to be framed and placed over the mantle- piece of every farmer and working- man in the land.

"Mrs. Bowser !" he said as his hair The gWOUtT Sin may be clasped so close we cannot see its face. A piller of the church a pious apothecary. Men who are a great deal run af ter fugitives from justice. The fireman of a locomotive gen erally has a "tender"-rrfpositfon. Absence destroys trifling intima ces, but it invigorates 6trong ones. Fame comes only when deserved, and then it is as inevitable as des tiny. The clergyman may not be much of a carpenter, but is a pretty good joiner. The lightening-rod agents motto "Spare the rod and spoil the prop erty." The innocence of the intention abates nothing of the miscbieY of the example. ' The thing that a woman knows best is how some other woman ought to dress. Holiness is love welling up in the heart, and pouring forth crystal streams. Senator Chandler has the smallest head in the Senate, and the fullest of mischief. "Bessie, what scratched your arm in that way ?" "Aunt Martha, I hit it with the cat." There is nothing that so refines the face and mind as the presence of great thoughts. Simon Cameron is the latest and strongest accession to the Roscoe Conklingboom. A man who has health and brains and can't find a livelihood in this world, doesn't deserve to stay here. "Can't you work?'; asked a lady of a tramp. "I don't know, ma'am. I used to, but I'm out of practice." The best part of our knowledge is that which teaches us where knowl edge leaves off and iguorance begins. "A New Jersey man has invented a stove to carry in tbe hat." Want ed to utilize a stove pipe probably. Idleness is the hot bed of tempta tion, the cradle of disease, the wast er of time, the canker worm of fe licity. One of the greatest causes of trouble in this world is the habit people have of talking faster than they think. An impression seems to be gain ing ground that the German Cron Prince's condition is well nigh hope less. "Why Do I Live?" is the title of a recent poem. A perusal compels us to give up the problem as unan swerable. Maud S. is said to have a stride of fifteen feet. How a prize fighter t must envy her when the police are after him.
