Seeing request from you for items

q few items of one of the first settlers OF
our country. The subject of this sketch,
Billy Mekin9ey,I was born in --T

county when be was three years old,
bringing Billy and a sister two years
older in ceupIs Of hamper baskets strap.
ped across a horse. That same horse
carried the hopSe.hold and kitchen furni-
ture besides, and was led BY the old lady,
the father carving q rife, with which be
supplied their daily provisions. He
reached this coiulry in the fall of 1895,
and settled on Clear creek, where be
spent BiS time LkRtReer 1culttERAng a
small farm aud hupting, Billy grew, up
much As other gohh9 men ot4be couhtry.
and though he may have been proof
agsi4s hatdship ana rough living, Yet he
was not against the. smiling face and
black, eyes of Miss Polly Alexander, a
young lady who lived near by. In fact,
he was completely captivated. As many
OF the young men OF the present day do,
he seemed to aliVejloDly in her smiles.
Bot alasl for human hsppiness--the
cause .of. true love never did run smooth.
Although he had proposed and been &C.
cepted, just before the time for them to
be married there came q call from the
governor for troops, and as bad luck
would have it, Billy was drafted. When
the fatal day arrived for the rendezvous
Billy went over to take leave of his lady
love, but found it simply impossible. An
otticer sent sergeant with pnsse after
him, with orders to bring him right along,
as they had to start Immediately for New
Orleans. The house 10 which Miss Polly
lived was small log cabin ose room,
one door, puncheon floor and clapboard
roof. The furniture was in keeping with
the house; streightpost besdstead. three
legged stools with no backs and ether
things on the same order. When the
eergeant got within fifty yards of the
house the dog barked, and Billy went to
the door and was seen by the whole
party. They all thought they had him
sure enough, and So thought Billy. The
latter walked back to the FIRE, told Polly
it was ell up with him. But there is
many slip between the cup and lip, es-
pecially where woman 10 concerned,
and that sergeant had reckoned without
bis host, for there was never a more
striking instance Of the ready wit Of
woman 10 q case OF emergency. She
told Billy to sit down in the corner and
draw bis feet up under him, then she sat
down on his head and shoulders, spread
her skirts over him, completely conceal
ing him, and went to knitting away as
calmly as if she had been sitting on
one Of the three legged stools, as indeed
the consoripting party thought she

Robust people who have, all their lives,

order TO experience the ubepeakable relief oil
a change FROM an enfeebled and unrestful TO a

digestion becomes complete and painless. and

A remarkable occurrence, recalling IN
some Of its features the stories reconnted
in the Arabian Nights, took place last
week on Wood street An humble cot
tage on that street is tenanted by a
young couple who last year made their
bridal tour to California, Oregon and
Washington Territory, While engaged
in salmon fishing on one Of the rivers,
the bridegroom was so unfortunate rs to
drop into its current valuable diamond
ring belonging to his wife. The loss Of
the gem was, of course, mourned, bat
after awhile the incident was forgotten,
per was it recalled till last Thursday
evening, when the young husband, re
turning late at night from taking stock,
discovered that his wife had prepared for
supper can Of salmon. Taking it up, he
looked carelessly at the label, and said
why, Marion, this salmon was put up at
the very place where lost your ring last
summer. Wouldn't it be odd il salmon
had swallowed it, and been caught and
canned at that very factory and put into
this very can, and we should end the
ring in it2" His wife answered him jest.
ingly, but said: II don't know how to
account for it, but have sort of pre-
sentiment that | shall find that ring yet
in come such romantic manner. She
had scarcely said, "Don't be q goose,
GhslP when her eye caught the glitter Of
something metallic in the can, and Bhe
fairly screamed: "Goodness, gracious
ms, what's that" Her husband. who
vas acarcely less excited than herself,
removed the foreign substance with a
fork, when, what was his surprise 70 dis
cover that il was indeed a big lump Of
solder, that in soldering the can had
been permitted TO fall into its contents,
