| WAS A GENTEFEL THIE
“GENTLEMAN JOE,” A NOTED ROAD AGENT:
A Nevada Robber for Whom Even His Vic- tims Had a tiood Word to Say—His Un-
paralleled Feat of Holding Up Two
Stages at the Same Time,
Joe Quinn was neither a terror hor 4 desperado in the days before the two great railroads crossed the west. He was 4 gambler—a prospector—a miner—a man who could and did shoot when occasion re quired, but not one to be warned away by a vigilance committee because he was worse than the average. Joe went broke en ecards, got cherted out of a rich “find” of silver, and one day left Virginia City te pick upanew occupation. I had known him personally for two or three years, and from his conversation and general bearing Il had no doubt that he was well educated and had been brought up as a gentleman. He left Virginia City to blossom out as a road agent, and he had no partner. I had the honor or misfortune to be a passenger in the first stage he tried his hand on. The spot was between Virginia City and Silver City, and the time 11 o'clock in the fore- noon. There were seven men of us besides the driver. and while the four horses were being watered at a creek crossing the road Joe stepped out with a gun in either hand and called for the passengers to descend. | had «a sent with the driver, and Joecalled me by name as he called medown. It was the first hold-up for a year, and no one was prepared forit. As fast as we dropped to the road he looked to see that all weap- ons had been left behind, and as we “lined up” he took position between us and the vehicle. He had a clear, mellow voice, and there was no menace in his speech as he said:
“Gentlemen, I have failed at gambling, prospecting and digging. I am now going to try this profession for awhile. I want your money. I propose to rob youina genteel way. Use me like a gentleman and I will respect your feelings in return. Mr. Blank here is my friend, but under the circumstances he will shell out with the rest of you. I wiil now ask him to in- troduce me toeach one of you in rota tion.”
Joe took from me fourteen twenty-dollar old pieces, and then I introduced him to a Mr. Bascomb, who happened to stand next tohim. They shook hands and they were pleased to see each other, and Mr. Bascomb handed out #130 in gold. So it went clear down the line, the robber trusting to every man’s integrity to hand over his entire boodle. In this instance I believe every one of us did, as he got about $1,300 from the crowd. He did not ask for watches or jewelry, and when some one told him that he had forgotten the stage driver, who stood holding the leaders by the bits, he laughed and called out:
“How much cash have you got about you, Sam?"
“About $30,” replied the driver as he produced the coins.
“You are toosmall pickings, and I know you have a wife and child to support. Now, gentlemen, I don’t want your fire- arms, and I don’t believe any of you will be fool enough to fire on me when you get holdof them. Pile into the coach and drive ahead, Should you meet with another gentleman in the same profession it will console you to realize that you have no cash to be robbed of.”
A week later, though there were fifty men out looking for him, “Gentleman Joe,” as we had titled him from the first hold-up, stopped another stage on that line.
After his second robbery he was so vig- erously pursued that he had to abandon the Silver City route, but in the course of a couple of weeks he was heard of upin the Humboldt Valley. His advent was characterized by a feat which has no peer in stage-robbing. He caught the up-stage and the down-stage just as they were about to pass each other at 3 o’clock in the after- noon. One had fivemen and a woman and the other four men, &@ Woman and a boy. With the drivers there were eleven men and all well armed and yet he appeared so suddenly and moved about so swiftly that it was at first supposed there were four or five robbers in the attack. The drivers he paid no attention to, but he lined up the nine passengers, searched the first and made him gothrough the others. It was said that his haul amounted to $5,000; and as it was all in gold coin he had it lying on a blanket in the road when the passengers re-em barked and the stage rolled away.
By never interfering with the mails or express matter Gentleman Joe escaped making official enemies. Neither Uncle Sam nor the express officials were much eoncerned about hunting down a man who did not interfere with their property, and such pursuit as was made by sheriffs ended in smoke. In one year the robber held up thirteen different stages and made a gross haul of at least 820,000. He was never known to enter a town, and probably lived alone in the thickets and mountains. He had a good horse and two revolvers, and occasionally appeared at a mill or country store to make purchases of provisions. At the end of a year the rewards offered for him amounted to &7,000. His last hold-up had been on the Yuba river, in California, and seven men set out to capture him. They hireda regular coach, dressed one of their num ber up as a driver and another in the boot, and all were of course armed to the teeth. It may be that Joe in some way got word of what was up, for he caught the coach in a rocky pass, shot the driver off his seat and wounded two men riding within be- fore the crowd were really aware of his presence. When he commanded the re- sward-seekers to get down they lost no time inturning out. He sent the four wound ed men back up the road, stripped of everything, spent half an hour in making the wounded comfortable as possible, and then drove the stage into the mountains and turned the horses loose.—Chicago Herald.
Daughters Trained for Home Life.
The greatest care and anxiety of the Hindoo mother is to bring up her daugh- ter to home life and to make her a good housewife. When agirlis 7 years of age ¢he mother teaches her to cook and to «lean the pots. Hindoos have two kinds of wazhing: one isthe daily washing of everyasy apparel, for the clothes are changed every morning after bathing. rvery Hindoo must bathe before he takes his meals. Religion requires that no food be cooked before the person who cooks it has bathed. Hence every woman must bathe before she cooks. The clothes are changed and washed every day.

Mr. Edouard de Reszke is one of the foremost singers of the time; at present he is charming fashionable audiences in New York, in the lyrical version of ‘* Romeo and Juliet.” Reeognizing that it is of the utmost importance to the success of the great singer that the system should te kept fresh and elastic, Mr. de Reszke says of the great tonic wine ** Vin Mariani :”?—‘* With pleasure I state that ‘ Vin Mariani’ is an excellent tonic, specially useful to singers.” This is in harmony with the testimony of inany Other prominent singers and orators, ali of whom agree that ‘* Vin Mariani ” has the special virtue of strengthening the voice, besides possessing the power to build up body and brain, enteebled from exces- sive strain or overwork, Th's celebrated ionie-stimulant, containing the medical »roperties of fresh selected coca leaves, has been used with benefit and delight by most of the great ones of the earth, and if you care to know, not merely what thes« great ones say, but how they look, send . our address to Lawrence A.

ON THE DARK ROAD !
ASt. John, N. B., Lady who was Nearing ihe Grave,
SHE DECLARES THAT PAINE'’S CELERY COMPOUND SAVED HER.
The case of Mrs. William Irvine, of St. John, N. B., was a sad one, and caused her family and friends great anxiety for a
time. Overwork, watching, loss of sleep and intense agony from kidney trouble
made life almost unbearable. Eifort after effort with medicines and doctors’ preserip- ions proved futile. The grave and its terrors were becoming more realistic, and death’s hand seemed to be firmly tastened on the victim of disease.
There flashed a bright inspiration,— Paine’s Celery Compound !—a thought of a medicine that had wrought wonders for others. The marvellous life-giving medi- cine was used, and the results are briefly eet forth in Mrs. Irvine's letter as follows:
“T think it a great pleasure as well as a duty to put on record what Paine’s Celery Compound has done for me. I have been troubled for the last ten years with kidney complaint, and have tried a great many preparations and doctors’ prescriptions, but with little or no benefit.
“ For the last six months I have had a great strain upon my system from night watching and overwork. I was breaking down; my friends said ‘I was going fast to death.’ I resolved to try your Paine’s Celery Compound, and used four bottles. My kidney trouble disappeared; nervous- ness and sleepleseness are troubles of the past, and my general health is greatly im- proved. Ina word, I am cured; and I wish you to publish this so that the world can read it.”

MAKING A TRAMP LOOK DECENT. It Only Cost 15, but the New Order ef Things Dide't Last. A group of business men chatting on upper Browlway late one warm © approached by a beggar, who whining y
zht was
begged for a nickel, savs the New ¥ x Sctn. He wasa most abject-looking ject. His hair was long and matted, his beard grizzly. and in general he looked as if he might be the original of Walter Jones’ make-upas a tramp. One oi the men whom he addressed asked:
“Boys, how much would it take to get
that into a semblance of respectability?’
“Can't be done, George, at any was the opinion of two of his co-panions, while the third suggested that about #40 and a week's training wonld reform the tramp into a fairly good imitation of a man.”’
“That’s your idea, is it?’ observed George contemptuously. “Now, Ul het you fellows anything you like that for well, say $15—I'll rig that chap out con- plete from top te toe, and make him xs respectable a citizen as you want to Now, here’s a bet. You fellows put in #10 each against my $0, and Um so sure I'll win that I'll pay for the outfit myself and let youchaps be the judges. Is it a go?’
Itwasago. The beggar, who had been standing in open-eyed and open-mouthed wonder, was told to meet his prospective benefactor on a down-town corner at 9 o'clock the next morning, and the whole party were to meet at the place where the bet was madein the evening at 8 o'clock.
At the set time the other three parties to the bet met on the corner appointed for the deciding of the wager. At o'clock sharp the proposer of the wager appeared alone.
“Where's your #15 beggar, George?’’ in- quired the others.
“I've left him in charge of my valet,”

returned George. ‘He'll be here soon now.”’ Five, ten, fifteen minutes the party
waited, George showing increasing signs of nervousness. The others had begun to banter him, when a young man rushed around the corner and, running up to George, cried:
“Mr. ——, that fellow you left with me gave me the slip after getting his dinuer, and I can't get any trace of him.”
“Well, that’s a nice thing,” returned the gentleman. Then turning to his compan- ions he continued: *‘Boys, how are we go ing to settle this? Here’s my man tells me that our beggar, after having got aii he could out of me, has flitted airily hence.”
Joke's on you, oldman.” “You lose.” “You're bound to produce the man; that was part of the bet.” “Come, pay up like a little man, George.’’
“Oh, 1 don't know,” retorted George, pointing to the man who had brougnt the news, “Gentlemen, let me introduce to you my rehabilitated beggar, fitted out at an entire expense of less than @15. Do } win?”
Theother three looked in surprise and amazement at the supposed valet, and could hardly believe that the neatly, a!- most sprucely, attired individual now grinning cheerfully at them was the tramp of the night before. He wore a jaunty straw hat, a comfortable looking loose gray sack snit, a colored neglige shirt, a well tied bow necktie, a pair of tan shoes. and a prevailing air of entire respectability.
“You win,’’ said the three in a breath, “if you did it within the price.”’
Producing aslip of paper, he handed it to
his companions. The account was as fol- lows: Shave, hair cut and shampoo.......... 2 Bh Room for dressing and bath............. ‘ y= 4 ah. oF eeeG OS. osicncsecsnddssienss . a eo wecihae bi deka aa teil . it Neglige shirt, collar and cuffs attached. , P| is coat eeu scans bike seabed eeeen = Pair of strong tan leather shoes.......... 3.

enough left over to buy him a luncheon for 2 cents and a dinner for 30 cents and give him some change. And I think he looks good enough to pass in any crowd.”
“But what are you going to do with him?" asked the others.
“Oh, I'll get him a job somewhere. And I fancy that besides winning that bet Tl make a respectable man out of that chap.”
‘Ten days later the same four business men met by chance on the same Yonge street corner, and while talking there they saw the same ragged, unkempt object of misery shuffling toward them. Before he could escape they surrounded him. His hair and beard were a trifle more respect- able than on the previous occasion, but otherwise he was as complete a Weary Raggles as before. A volley of questions saluted him.
The object, seeing no chance of escape, whimpered feebly and said:
“I got fired from the job fer oversleepin’ myself. I had ter come back ter this, an’ I sold the togs.’’
“Sold the togs? What the devil did you do that for?”’
“How could a feller make any money panhandlin’ with good clo’es like them on?” he enquired plaintively. Terrifying Dream of Wes Hearn’s Crow.
Wes Hearn has a crow, and he is the gawkiest, oddest, ugliest, but withal the smartest bird oneeversaw. He has learned the accomplishments of men so well that he now dreams—actually has nightmares. The crow during the odd hours of his will- ing and luxurious captivity has dug a hole in the wall, in which he deposits dainty morsels for the future when his appetite is not satiated. Yesterday in his hole in the wall he carefully placed twe pieces of cheese and three bits of meat. This done he ruffled his feathers, drew his neck down intothem, and, standing on one foot, went fast asleep. Perhapsthe immense quan tity of cheese which he had gorged himself with a half hour before gave him the indi- gestion, for he had a nightmare right on the spot. Suddenly he woke up, and the air was rent with “squawk! squawk! squawk!”’ in quick succession. He danced over in a flurry of excitement to his hole in the wall and jammed his bill in three times. Everything was there. No- thing had been stolen. He sidled over to his perch, scratched his bill with his foot in a meditative way, as much as to say, “Well, U'll be —,” and, ruffling his fea thers into a muff, drew himself into them, supported the whole on one leg, and was soon againin the land of nod.—Florida Times-Union.
