A BAD MAN,

AND A YYHOOPER FROM THE LAND OF
TERRORS.
Hov Blc Wild Career Came to
timely End.
An Un-
"When Mike Dosy first came down on
the Southwestern frontier every one
was afraid of him, and when one night
at the bar of the " Sunset Casino " he
boasted of having killed twenty-seven
men up on the Kansas border he was
unanimously set down by his hearers
as a "holy terror," whom it would be
dangerous to fool with.
" Yaas!" he cried, striking the bar
with his fist, " I've killed twenty-seven
men up on the Kansas border, and the
first galoot that looks cross-eyed at meTi
be my meat!"
All hands looked forward with their
eyes as straight as possible, and a pain
ful silence fell upon the room. Mike
saw the impression his words had made,
and jerking out his six-shooter he clev
erly shot away the neck of a " bitters '
bottle which stood on a shelf behind
the bar. The " tarantula-juice " dis
penser smiled sweetly, as though such
sport pleased him, and Mike began to
shoot out the lights. Then he walked
out, mounted his pony, and rode up
and down the town yelling like a Com
mauche. He gave similar exhibitions
"whenever he visited town, and although
other men were arrested and heavily
fined by the local magistrate for less
offenses, Mike was never bothered, and
after awhile he got it into his head that
he was really a " hard, b!ad man from
Bitter Creek."
About three miles from the tempor
ary ranch where Mike was holding his
small herd of cows was a ranger camp.
One morning at roll-call the comman
der of the scouts detailed a scout well
known along the frontier as "Mad Mil
ton," and handed him a warrant.
"Milton," he said, t: here's a warrant
for Mike Dosy. It appears that he has
been doing just about as he pleased
ately in town, and none of the officers
there care to risk their lives in attempt
ing his arrest. The 'squire gave me this
warrant yesterday, and I want you to
execute it. Take your prisoner onto
the jail and lock him up."
" All right, captain," answered Milton,
and he went out to the corral and
saddled his horse.
When he rode up to Dosy's .camp
the slayer of twenty-seven men was
msily engaged in the peaceful labor of
holding off" a young calf while his
wife milked the mother cow.
"Dosy," began Milton, reining up
eside the bad man, " I've got a warrant
:or yon." ,
" W-h-a-U" was ilike's astonished
ejaculation, and he swelled up like a
turkey-gobbler, and tried to look bad.
" I've got a warrant for you," repeated
He ranger, " and I'm going to take you
to jail!"
" Mer cried Dosy. " Me, take me ter
jail? Well, I reckon not r
He. dropped the calf-rope and laid his
hand on his six-shooter
. " Ye'll hev' me ter kill fustl" he bel
lowed, and pulled the weapon from the"
scabbard.
Before he could raise the pistol to
shoot. Mad Milton leaped from his
saddle and bore the bad man to the
ground, lie wrenched the six-shooter
from his grasp, and seizing a rope tied
the bully hand and foot.
"Look here, Mike," he said, in hts
cool, determined way, " you've boasted
fiat the whole rauger outfit could not
arrest you. haven't you V
" Yaas," faltered the bad man, "but I
reckon I was drunk when I did it. Let
me up an' I'll go with ye."
"You have been shouting 'em up
lately at the post, and trying to appear
bad, haven't you?"
u Yaav, I wuz jest havin' a little
fun."
" Yon have boasted that you had
killed twenty-seven men on the Kansas
border, haven't you?"
" Well, I micrhter sed suthin ter that
pint."
" Now, .Mike," continued the scout,
" you know that vou are not only a cow
ard but a liar as well. A boy could ar
rest you. You're not bad, and you
never killed a man in your life unless
you talked him to death."
" I I " began Dosy, but Milton
interrvipted him.
"You have been slashing around
here under false colors, and a great
manv iwonle are afraid of you. If you
Mad .quietly submitted to arrest like a
rentleman I would have taken you to
jarlin a gentlemanly manner, but now
I mean to treat you" as you deserve and
let people see what a miserable dog
you are."
Milton took a pair of handeuffs from
his pocket and fastened them on Mike's
wrists. To the cuffs he fastened a line
and bound the bully's arms fast to his
side. Then he placed the noose of his
stake rope around the fellow's neck
and made the line fast to the horn of
his saddle, lie cut tirt' rope with which
he had tirst confined the bad man and
ordered him to get on his feet He
mounted his horse and turned the ani
mal's head toward the post.
"Come on, Mike!" he criea. ana ine
noose tightened about the bully's neck,
Tn vain he besnred for niercv, Milton
was obdurate and refused to be moved
y the would be bad mnu's prayers.
!it led him iut the post tied up like a
roncho steer, and the jeers of the citi
ens as poor losv shambled past them
m his way to the j:til were the death
;nell of his badness, lie made no
John Branch plays" after this, but
ittended faithfully to his herd, and the
tare mention of the name of Mad Mil
ton was sutlieiwit-to keep him quiet
whenever he forpot his defeat and es
sayed the vole of a bad man.
JiOral Frederick the Great.
Frederick contributed mainly to the
overthrow of the existing system of
the balance of power in Europe, and he
explains frankly to his nephew why he
had done so. "They are bad politi
cians who imagine that a State which
has grown to a certain point must not
think of increasing because the balance
of power assigns its place to each. The
balance of power is a phrase which has
uommaieu me wono, uecause people
believed 'that it secured permanent
possession; but it is really a phrase I

struction of his successor in his politi
cal testament. One of Frederick's
principal devices for entrapping the
world into an ' exaggerated estimate
of his greatness deserves notice here;
it was. the dexterous enlistment of
literary men of mark as his pane-

visit Voltaire at Brussels, m order, as
Broglie expresses it, to show to the
whole of Europe that the crowned poet
paid his homage to literary royalty be
fore any other." Yet he assures his
nephew, "between ourselves," that
these same literary men " are a cursed
race, intolerably proud, vain, full of
contempt of the great and thirst for
greatness, tyrannical in their opposi-
tion, implacable enemies and incon-
stant mentis, nam to deal with, and
often satirists and sycophants on the
same day. But they are necessary for
a Prince who menus to reign despoti
cally and is fond of glory." And there
fore, he adds, he always took care that
their pensions should be punctually
paid, especially Voltaire's, lor whom
he professed the warmest friendship:
"In truth I feared him, for I was not
sure of always treating him equally
well, and I knew that one crown less
woidd bring two blows." Voltaire's
" Vie Trivee " certainly justified the
suspicion.

knew him quite well. He is known as
Colonel Harry Ashby, proprietor of the
.Metropolitan Hotel. He is a New
Yorker by birth, and in his youth, way
back in 1845 or '40, he was educated in
all the branches of a New York hood
lum's trade. He had at that time a
companion now known to fame in
horse-racing circles as 'Lucky' Bald
win, who was at that time a peddler
or secona-nana dooks among news-1
dealers. Charles Bash, an old gray
headed conductor on the Hudson River
road, and who was one of the first em-
ployees on the very first train of cars
that was run in America, was a friend
of young Ashby, and allowed him to
get on his train and dispose of InV
papers among the passengers between
New York and Albany. Charles died
long ago, but he is lovingly remembered
by Ashby. On his fir:st trip on the
Hudson River road Ashley took out
1.000 New York papers and sold eveiy
one. He thought he was a rich man,
and when he returned to New York he
bought a new suit of clothes and went
on quite a spree. The result was that
he missed ,his next trip, and .Lucky'
lsalwin got ms place and business. lit
then sought other pursuits, and when
the war broke out he entered the km--
vice and became a colonel.

David Dudley Field takes exception
if .. .... i -
to ths nomenclature of American
geography. lie says there may be a
great deal of fitness or unfitness in
names. To begin with, our continent
was misnamed. In selecting the name
"America" a great wrong was done
Columbus. The continent should have
been called " Columbia." Now Ameri
cans are trying to make amends by sing
ing " Hail, Columbia." Just think of
some of the wretched names selected for
places in the United States. We have
Tombstone, You Bet, Pop Corn, Cut
Shin, Raw Hide, Skunk Lake, Dirt
Tub, Jug Tavern, Sawdust, Cow Skin
and Cut Off. Almost as bad taste was
displayed in copying such old names as
Babylon, Memphis, Cairo, Troy, Utica
and Syracuse. It would have ,been
much better to have preserved more of
tlie nomenclature of the red men.
Nothing could be more appropriate
and pleasant to the ear than Missis-
sippi, Oneida, Michigan, Monongahela,
Susquehana, Mohawk, Idaho and
Wyoming.

It was the policy of the good old gen
tleman to make his children feel that
home was the happiest place in the
world; and I value this delicious home
feeling as one of the choicest gifts that
a parent can bestow.
The importance of the reverse in
New Jersey is not to be overlooked
or ignored. It went some 7,000 or
'more for. the Democrats in the pre
vious election. This time the Re

Virginia and New Jersey be counted
as absolwtly certain for the Dem
ocray in 1888? We must hope

After all the majority in Virginia
is alarmingly small. It is certainly
