j A Good Use of a Flask.
[Original.]
Many years ago, when I was a young
man, I bad occasion to mov? my office
belongings and lilred a negro called
Bill for the purpose. After the mov
ing missed a new sixty dollar over
coat. I was sure BUI hud taken li and
bad him arrested, but sluce there wan
no evidence against him he was dis
charged.
My new office was ou the second
floor, apart from other offices. One
aflernoou wb?u -I was sitting there
alone at work on my books Bill open
ed the door and camu In. He had not
l>een paid for Uls services and asked
for the money. I gave it to hlni and
sakl:
"Bill, |)erb:\ps you know who stole
?fflt overcoat. Try to And It and hrlug
It \o uie. If you do,. I'll pay you well
for your trod f>Io. If iiot, I'll send the
man who stole It to" state prison yet."
| "I'll try." he said as he- pocketed the
money I paid lilm and went away.
I hud advertised my loss, and the
next iln.v n woman and u little girl
came luto my office with the missing
coat. The v.oaiuu said (but a negro
had sold It to tier for $3 and that she
would know Mm If she should sir him
agalu. i had Hill rearrested. She
identlik'd him, and he was tried and
sent to state prison for two years.
After It was all over I learned that
Bill was a very bad man. He had been
a slftVe. and his former rnauter had
said that he was the only negro he
had owucd th.it he was afraid of
That Bill bad ever been n criminal bo
fore stealing my eoat 1 did not learn.
l'pon getting this Information 1 re
membered with Home feeling his visit
to me when 1 was alone In uiy otllee
I am a small man; be was a large and
powerful oue. Indeed, 1 had been
completely at his mercy. It occurred
to me that after he had served his
term be might make me another visit
for the purpose of taking his revenge
tor an enforced residence lu prison.
1 was sufficiently Impressed with
this to note the time of expiration of
Bill's term, so that when he was re
leased 1 might be prepared for him,
but I didn't count oi> time reduced for
good behavior. One eveuug Just before
1 was ready to shut up my oillce and
go home the door opened and lu
walked Bill. He assumed the same
cool, Impudent manner as before. I
sat looking ?t htm from my desk.
"You don't remember me, do you,
boss?" be *?ld.
"Yes: 1 remember you very well.
You're the man who stole my over
coat"
"And the man you sent to state
prison."
"Yes. I remember that too."
He was looking about hint, glancing
vat of the window, taking In tho situ
ation. 1 knew he had come to kill me
and was oul.v considering the question
of my surrouudlngs with a view to do
ing the Job without its being known
who was the murderer. Hearing a step
In the hall without, be delayed. All this
I could read lu his eyes as plainly as If
It had been written lu capitals on tho
desk before me. The step was lost in
the distance, and Bill's manner Indi
cated that he considered an obstacle re
moved. Still, be must have fully appre
ciated the many possible dangers of
being tracked. If not caught lu the act
He kept his eyes and ears open for any
thing without. There was a coal stovoln
the center of the office, near where ho
stood, and a heavy Iron poker. 1 saw
him take In the poker, and I knew by
his expression that he bad chosen It
for a weapon. It would make no noise.
I also Inferred by this that he was
probably unarmed. He doubtless had
no money with which to buy a weapon.
A door slammed on the tloor above,
and there was a step on the stairs.
Some one was comlug down. Bill's
eye cUauged In u twinkling.
"I'm gwlue to try V do better, boss,"
he said.
"SO 1 wouiu auvise you.
"Couldu't you help me a leetle?"
lien? was a ray of hope. Not from
the passing persou? 1 dared not risk
calling. In the right hand drawer r.f
my desk I remembered having placed
a brown glass flask shaped like a re
volver and commonly called a pocket
pistol. BUI had glveu me an excuse to
open the drawer.
"I might give you a few dollars," 1
said, "to keep you till you can get a
Job. 1 keep stamps and petty cash In
this drawer. You needn't come Inside
the rail. 1 can hand It to you."
The person coming downstairs had
: gone out Into the street, aud all was
still. Watching Bill's eye. I saw that
'my time had cowo. Grasping the
?poker, he started for the gate In the
rail. I opened the drawer, seized the
pocket pistol, brought It to bear on him
?nd cried fiercely:
"Hands up!"
His bands went over his head as If
worked by a spring. Fearing that If 1
delayed he would discover my trick, I
cried:
"Face the door!"
Again I gave the third order:
"Hove forward!"
I -marched Bill ont and down the
?trtitt, hoping to meet a policeman, but
there were only about a dozen police
men In the town, and I was obliged to
see my prisoner to the police station,
where be was locked up.
I found witnesses to prove that Bill
had -told them at the time of his con
viction that when he got out of prison
be wonld kin me. With my own state
ment, backed by this testimony, 1 was
oiw Mod t??t htr.i wbero bo wouldn't
trouble me for a number of years
longer. I have never since seen or
heard of him.

Dixie's Land. ?
Tho phrase "Dixie" or "Dixie's
Land" Is supposed to be derived from
one Dixy, a kind hearted slave owner
on Manhattan Island In the latter part
of tho eighteenth century. His treat
ment of his negroos caused them to
regard his plantation ("Dixy's") as lit
tle short of an earthly paradise, and
when any of the slaves were taken
away from their old home they were
always pining for "Dixy's" and singing
and talking of Its Joys. When slavery
moved southward, the same Ideal of
"Dixy's" was taken along, and In the
courso of time, Its origin being forgot
ten, It was applied to the Eouthern
homes of the negroes. ? New York

FOUND CUTICURA
INDjSPENSABLE
For Her Children? Little Girls Suf
fered with Itching Eczema Which
Simply Covered Back of Heads
Baby Had a Tender Skin, Too.
ALL PROMPTLY CURED BY
"WONDERFUL OINTMENT"
"Some years ago my three little girls
bad a very bad form of eczema. Itch
ing eruptions
formed on the
backs of their
heads which
were simply
covered. Before
I heard of Cuti
cura, I used to
try almost
everything, but
they failed.
Then my mother
recommended
the Cuticura
Remedies. I
washed my children's heads with Cutl
cura Soap and then applied the wonder*
ful ointment, Cuticura. I did this four
or five times and I can say that they havo
been entirely cured. I havo another
baby who is so plump that the folds of
skin on his neelc were broken and even
bled. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuti
cura Ointment and the next morning
the trouble had disappeared. I am
using the Cuticura Remedies yet when
ever any of my family havo any Kores. I
can never recommend Cuticura suffl
ciently;it is indispensable in overy homo.
I cannot find its equal. Mmo. Napoloon
