We, manufacturers OF Boots and Shoes, are
using Wheeler & Wilson's New No. Sowing
Machine in all kinds Of stitching on our work,

the following reasons:
l. The work done by this machine is superior
to that of any other in variety, amount, excel
lence and beauty.
o. This machine is more durable than any
other of its class, requiring much less outlay
for repairs and renewal Of parts.
8. 1t does the cording or staying Of button
holes in q most elegant and substantial man
ner. without the expense Of royalty.
In short, because by the use of this machine
we can turn out superior work at less cost than
with any other.

SOMETHING LEFT UNDOSE


Sitting thinking at close OF day,
The red fires burning fast away,
Ofall words spoken, and those not,
OF all things done, and all forgot
In sight OF these my striviags Seem
Vain as the rising tides bright gleam,
That ever strives higher 70 reach,
Bat never flows beyond the beach
And always with the setting sun
There's ever something left undOnc.

And with light heart and happy song

To close my sadness and be gay,
watch the fleeting, dancing feet.

But with the last enhancing strain
My soul asks me, "Where is thy gain ."
know that with the days short run
There's something left, that's all undone
The hours, the days, the weeks 50 by,
Deep SHOWS over the daisies lie
Each fading sun brings me the thought,
What 10 Thee have 1 this day brought?
Ny heart is heavy in my breast,
With the dead flowers long 10 rest 4;
But with the sprlng-time's joyous glow,
! gain courage my way TO go,
And pray with earnest heart to One
That nothing may leave undone-
As DER my head the years pass by,
And o'er my brow their sOrrows fly,
may look back and view them not
With vain regret. but thank my lot
That it was granted me to do
What best 1 might, and what L knew
Was mine 10 finish and the rest
For those who it might do the best.
And 1 may know what begun
Is at the last by me well done.

on our trip west the other evening, on
stepping to the door to order some
additional ice and water to last US
through 20 Chicago, which We were
to reach at Z o'clock the next morn
ing, we were saluted by one of the
most prominent, wealthy and enter
prising citizens of Seneca Co, Ohio,
with the words that form a partial
heading to this article, "YOu fellows
that run this machine have q pretty
soft thing" Upon our innocently in
quiring, sin what particular respect?"
he continued, "Why you don't have
anything 10 do, do you? How many
mails do you put off and take on be-
tween here and Chicago ?" "Three,"
was our prompt reply. "Ohe at Tif-
fin, one at Fostoria, and one at De-
fiance." swell" he continued,
''thst can't take you long, aud then
your are ready to go to bed. 1t is safe
to say that thirty minutes will SUI

are required to perform for the next

was, "If that is all we have to do

How Party or Virginia city Miners
Raked up the Wrong Man.

An evening or two since, says the
Territorial Enterprise, some OF the
employees of tue Ophir Company
found an intoxicated man sleeping of
his Over-allOwanee of ''tarantula
juice" among the shavings in one OF
the temporary shops near the works.
They had some trouble in getting the
fellow aroused, and more IN getting
the fellow to understand where he
was, or rather that he was not in a
place where he legitimately belong
ed.
1t was determined by the men who
found the bOoZy party that they
would give him such fright that he
would never again venture within q
mile Of the works. Therefore, they
told their nan that they had positive
orders to kill any person found about
the works after dark. They said il
was a thing they did not like {, do,
but the works had lately betn de-
slrOyed by fire and the company were
not in a humOr To take any more
ehauces-their orders were impera-
tive.
The man tried t. beg of saying
that he did not know how he came
there, and swearing by all that was
good and bad he meant no harm, but
all would not do.
He was seized aud dragged some
distance up the hill toward the Ma
sonic Cemetry to place in the open
country where five or six rifisd can
non belonging to the Nevada Artil-
lery have been standing since the day

Again the man begged for mercy,
