Well, I did. Not oniy did I hear of it, bat I've told it. Not only have I told it, but I was in the hold-up myself, as a-buiiet_scar on the outside ot my left ankle would show if I had ime to take off my’ shoes. But it was a good, old-time, regu.ar steamboat hold-up, al the same, and the first and original one. “Well, here’s how it happened: F “Iwas vuss temtman wita Bobinson’s circus back in ‘77. We played the middle western c.rcuit all Guriag the summer, and along toward the wina-up of August we struck crcss-country trom middle Nebrasua for the Black Hills. That was during the Black Hills excitement, and we ca.cu-atd to show up there in that region for a munch or so, charging “em ali the way from 32.0 35 a head to see the show, and then to ail down the Missouri and the Mississ ppl on two or three chartered: siern-wice e.8 for winter quarters in Memphis. The pro- gram went through all rght. We did up the Black Hilis for about s.x weeks, play- ing to capacity, and just coining money. Then it commenced to chill up some, and some of the animals that had been born and re to sneeze and cough a good ras decided to pack up and Black Hills for winter quarters. O.d man Bobinson was wiiing to .eave after the six weeks, for he hadn't done a thir but- just make about a hundred thousand dollars out of his one-ringer during that season, and he had been especialiy prosper- ous, at from $2 to § a head, in the Blac liills niry. So we moved down to Yankton, where oid man bobinscn had a couple of the o.d stern-whee he two red down around the equator began t and so it rek out of biggest that ever navigatcd the Big dy —wat.ing to take on the show. The s ern wheelers were the General Wiliam Tecam- seh Sherman and the General Paul. T. 8 idan. Big as they were we had some trou- ble fn loading all of our monsier, mam- moth, . miraculous aboard of ‘em, but we finally did do it, away we started down the Big Muday. We got along all Mght, except that we poked our neses oc liy into a sand ar, and when we got down as far as Omaha we figured on beginning to unload in Memphis about three weeks later on, which would be making cork ng good time as time was made in those days. “Now, let me digress just a bh ht here. I was on the General William Tecumseh Sherman. and our boat, because we had the better pilot, kept about a quarter of a miie ahead of the General Phil, T. Sheridan right along. One of the men with the show was a cross, peevish little old bareback vider, named Fisher, who had been in the business about a hundred years or so, and whose temper Was a heap soured for that reason. We all had talked a good deal about the possibility of being held up, when we were up in the Black Hills country, and one night this Nittle bareback riaer man, Fisher, got up on his hind legs and deciared him- self on the holding up question. ““L want to tell you all one thing,’ said he, ‘and that is, that the nine-foot-high plug doesn’t live in this world that's got the weight and the heftiness to hold me up at the point of a gun. It can’t be done. 1 can’t be held up. I want to go on record right here and now, in the middle of a wild neck of country, by saying that Jim Fisher cannot be held up, and never will be held up.’ “Oh, well, we had all heard that kind of bluff talk often before, and so we aii gives little Fisher more or less of the laugh. “AU right. ..We deft Omaha — our stern-wheelers—about 3 o’clo ternoon of an. October day, and we more than tossed up the water behind us. Must have made fully four knots an hour, [ reckon. Anyhow, about the middle of that night the General Sherman shoved her nost Vongside an elevawd sort of sand-bar by ‘aston, Mo., to take on wood. We hadn't y more than come to a full stop than all of us down on the deck heard a commotion in the pilot house and some short, loud talk. ““Up with your hands, and git away from that wheel in a hurry,’ said a voice that none of us was familiar with, and in a sec- ond or two we heard some of the same kind of talk, directed by another unfamiliar voice to the engineer of the boat, who had two in the af- been snoozing in an armchair. Oh, we knew all right what had happened. We knew better, though, when we looked up to the bridge and saw six ducks with Win- ters pointed right our w. They had t sneaked over the rail when we drew alongside for that wood, and they just be dus, armed and ammuniuoned as all } of us were. In about a minute the General Sheridan moves alongside u and we could see that she, too, was prett fair in the hands of the enemy, tor the! were about a dozen of ‘em, also with Win chesters, taking It nice and easy—looking almighty alert, just the same—on_ the bridge. “Old man Robinson was on our boat, and he hustled out of his cabin with a roar and got to the foot of the bridge ladder, where he was gently tald by one of the quiet-look- ing ducks on the bridge to stay just where he was. ““What's this here game, anyhow sked old man Robinson. ‘What you after? My summer's pickings? “-That’s about it, T reckon,’ said the man on the bridge, who seemed to be the lead “You can just stand where you are and tell this boy alongside ef me here where your dust is. He'll take care of it. You necdn't bother about moving yourself.’ “Well. oid man Bobinson just stood “here frothing at the mouth. He was speecites We were all more or less speechless. hon it happened. It happened so blooming vud- denly that it nearly gave us all heart dis- cese. Littie Jim Fisher, the bareback ride! who didn’t intend to be held up by any man, he said, stood right behind me when al this was going on. When the robber on the bridge sprung that spiel about hoiding old man Bobinson—who had been Fist em- ployer and friend for about twenty years— up for his summer's rake-off, | could hear isher breathing hard. I figured that he was skeeart to death. But he stepped right out into the light, and he had a gleaming 48 in each hand. “Why, d—n your impudent eyes!’ said little Jim Fisher, and before you could sneeze he had banged away at the icuder of the robbers on the bridge. We ail :amped to cover, but Fisher’s move gave us nerve It gave “em nerve on the Gencral Shezdan, too, and you never heard such a fusillade m your life. But in four minutes there were hot any robbers tn sight but dead robbers— six of those—and after we had chased the others, thrown the dead bodies over the aide and taken on our wood, we went ahead down to winter quarters.’ And s9, for a wonder, Jim Fisher's thundering in’ the in- dex about nobody being able to cold him up wasn’t « bluff, after ail.” SSS Dewey's Jurisdiction, Fro ihe Chicago Times-Herald, Soon after ‘Major, Gen Manila he began toyexperience trouble with the insurgents.

In the mines of that country the workmen have their tools sharpened by a special blacksmith and he is paid, not by the num- ber of tools sharpened, but by the number of yards bored by the miners whose im- plements he has sharpened during the month.

WO AHANA WAS SHREWD “The one affinity between an Irishman and a Chinaman ts their obstinacy, and in his mild, bland, non-vociferous fasnion I believe the average colestial is a whole lot more pig-headed than the most stubborn Mulligan that ever came out of the Bmer- ald Isle," said one of the members of the California delegation in the lower house. “Moreover, anybody who takes the ordi- nary, everyday Chinaman for an ‘also ran," when it comes to business shrewdness, is due to have a rude awakening ff he acts upon that erroneous presumption. The Chiramen out on the coast are rightly ac- counted by the old-timers among Califor- nians who have studied the Mongolians and their ways as the very hardest possible kind of propositions {n business deals, and they never look to get even a one-tenth of one yer cent edge on a slant-eye in driving a bargain. A peculiar feature about the San Francisco Chinamen ts that, with most of them, thetr accumulation of riches rare- ly makes any difference in their outward mode of life. Of course, there are grandees and high-living hot members among the Wealthy Chinks in San Francisco's China- town, but the very great majority of the Chinese men who pick up wealth in five or even six figures go on living in precisel the fashion they followed when they were Just landed, straggling coolies. “I happened to be an inside observer of a battle that went on between a Chinaman named Wo Ahana and an Irishman named Pat McFeeney for a couple of months, and that came to a climax only a few days be- fore I left ancisco for Washington. For many years past Wo Ahana has been running a Chinese grocery store on a ¢ ner that stands on the outskirts of China- town. His shop is the corner store in a big Irish, German, Scandinavian and gen- erally Cosmopoliian tenement house, and Wo Ahana has been the literal as well as the figurative bait of all hands in the tenc- ment house, men and women and children, ever since he began busin: They've en- gaged in suc equent little pleasantries s throwing bricks through his windows dumping his veget sand truck ail over the front sidewalk, and, in general, they've tried to make life unbearabie for Wo Aha- But he has pursued the even tenor of his way. getting most of the patronage of hundreds and thousands of Chinamen in the ining squares, and, in quite an Ubassuming Way, acquiring riches in con- v substantial hunks. bit mere than two ths ago an Irishman from New York p iF Me iforesaid, opened gin m next © Ahana's corner roc: M Feeney didn’t like the juxtaposition, as were, of the Chinam ud, moreover, his business rate that he ight to acquire Ahana’s co n order to amplify his saloon. So he went to the owner of the tenement proper- ty and asked him what rent Wo Ahana was paying for the corner. Upon getting this information, he offered to pay one-fourth more rent than Ahana did if the proprietor of the property would chase Wo Abana out of the corner store. “I'd like to accommodate you,’ was-the owner's reply, ‘but Wo Ahana has got a couple of years yet remaining on his ten- year lease of the corner, and I can’t put hi ey was very much perturbed over this information, but there was noth- ing to be done. So he thought he'd try the ff game on the Chinaman. He went to Wo Ahana and told him that if he didn’t move away f.om that corner he'd burn him out or blow him up with dynamite, or do a whole lot of other things equally terrible. Wo Ahana just regarded the [rishman with an amused smite, while he lstened to all of these dire threats, and, when McFeene had finished, the Chinaman told him, in ad- mirable English, that he could go to the devil by the shortest route—that he wa on that corner to stay, and that all the Irishmen from San Francisco to Connemara couldn't drive him out. The Irishman had to abandon these tactics., but about a month ago he ned fixed up what looked lik # genuine lease, which he said he had se cured on the corner store, and flashed the same on Wo Ahana out of pure devilment, The Chinaman looked it over, and then said ‘You wait “Two s later Wo Ahan: MeFeeney’s saloon ‘You got no lease on your saloon, hey?’ aid Wo Ahana to Pat McFeeney. id phwat's thot to yeez, ye pig~ divil inquired McFeeney, “You no got t ana. “Will walked into ailed sted Wo secin’s it's none 0° yeez’s domn business,’ answered the Irishman, ‘phwat it to yeez an’ {f Oi haven't?

You move tomorrow.’ “Then Wo Abana walked out. MeFeene rushed to the man from whom he had rent- cd his saloon, and, of course, he found that Wo Ahana’s tale was precisely true— contrary to the general impres men rarely lie with referenc: mattte “Yes, the former owner of the ten- ement property, ‘the CL aman came to m yesterd and # ~d me if I wanted to sell the property as it stood. 1 did want to get rid of the property, but I didn’t let on to Wo Ahana th i So he named me figure—a good figure—and I transferred the tenement to him by legal process today. 1 haven't yet had time to notify the tenants including yourself, at hereafter W Ahana will be their landlord, but I shall do so within a day or so.’ “Of course, McFeency was almost crazy at the ides of having a Chinaman for a landlord, but it couldn't be helped. He woudn’t pipe down, however, and he tried to thrash Wo Ahana when the latter in- sisted that McFeeney would have to move out of his saloon on the morrow. Just as he was about to pounce on his new land- lord, however, a half dozen Chinamen with long knives in their hands came bounding a out of the back of Wo Ahana’s store and McFeeney retreated. McFeeney went to law a few days before I came east and secured an extension of a month, in order to permit him to look around for another place of business, but when his month’s up he'll have to move out of Wo Ahana’s building or Wo Ahana will set him in the strect. And this all came about because the Irish- man, who wasn’t used to the ways of Cali- fornfa Chinks, failed to count on the stub- bornness of the first one of the species he got up against a ee A Real Fortress. The monastery of Solovetsk, in Archangel, Russia, is inclosed on every side by a wall of granite boulders, measuring nearly a mile in circumference, and is the best pré tected in the world. The monastery itself is very strongly fortified, being supported by roand and square towers about thirty feet in height, with walls twenty feet in thickness, ‘The monastery consists in real- ity of six churches, which are completely filled with statues of ail kinds and precious stones. Upon the walls and the towers surrounding these churches are mounted huge guns, which in the time of the Cr mean war were directed against the Brit White sea squadron. The monks who in- habited| the monastery at that time marched in procession on the granite walls while the shells were flying over their heads, to prove how Ittle they feared the attack of the British fleet. Ten thousand pilgrims come annually to Solovetsk from all parts of Russia to view the churches and the relics. They are conveyed in steam- ers commanded and manned solely by monks, So Diamonds on Your Boots.
