Henry VIII died one day with great
success. He left three children who
did not care to go with him. Their
names were Mary, Elizabeth and Ed
ward. The last was the Ed of the fam
ily. He was boy. His sisters were
not. Their father also left a will. His
will was stronger than all his children.
By viii Earl Hertford was to boss the
state while Edward was young. He was
only ten years young. HEREFORD loved
the glass so much he became a tumbler
and was called the Earl of Snmmerset.
He wanted the king to take the queen
of Scotland-but the trick was lost
because the Scotch refused to assist.
The Duke was called the Protector be-
cause he protected his own family aud
put everybody else away in the tower.
The border men of England and Scot
land were those who boarded on the
frontier aud bored each other almost to
ward marrying their queen. The Eng
lish attacked them by water, which they
couldn't stand. History SAYS that the
Scotch loss was 10000 and the English
200. History lies, probably. The
government told the people what to be-
lieve. If they did as they were told
they must pay taxes to support their be-
lief If they didn't do SO they were
roasted Things were red hot. Some
body tcid stories about the Protector
and SO he was taken to the tower and
had his head chopped of. 1t was not
much of q head, but he hated to part
with it. Then there was a rising of the
common people, but they did not know
what for. Most of them got raised on
to trees with ropes around their necks
Some very fat men were burned, thus
making light of their complaints. Now
| guess it is time for the little king to
die. He was only sixteen when he gave
up the crown and the ghost. England
is not yet done, SO 1 cannot finish the
history yet. Finis.

yALuE OF SLEEP As ToNsC.

The best possible thing for man to
do when he feels too weak to carry any
thing through is to go to bed and sleep
as long as he can. This is the only act
ual rscuPeration Of brain force; because,
during the sleep, the brain is in state
of rest, in a condition to receive and ap-
propriate PARTICLES Of nutriment from
the blood, which take the place of those
which have been consumed BY previous
labor, since the very act of thinking
burns up solid particles, as every turn
OF the wheel or screw OF the steamer Is
the result of consumption by fire of the
fuel in the furnace. The supply of con
sumed brain substance can only be had
from the nutritive particles in the
blood, which were obtaiued from the
food eaten previously, and the brain is
SO constituted that it can best receive
and appropriate to itself those nutritive
lpai ticles during a state of rest, of quiet,
and stiffness of sleep. Mere stimulants
supply nothing in themselves; they goad
the brain, and force it to a greater con
sumption of its substance, until it is SO
exhausted that there is not en- 3ueh pow
er left to take up new supply.

A HuMAS sKELET0S INSIDE OF HoRsE.

A miner in the Black Hills, writing
to friend in this city, tells a horrible
reminder of the fearful snowstorms of
last winter, and of the perils of those
who were caught out and lost their way
on the plains. He says recently, while
he and two ethers were crossing the
country, they came upon the skeleton of
horse, within which was the skeleton
of a man, with the grinning skull look
ing out at them between the ribs of the
animal, like prisoner looking through
the bars of his cell. The two skeletons
told tie whole story. The man had
killed his horse, cat him open and crawl
ed inside of him, but the flesh of the
animal froze solid, and the man was
now as much of a prisoner as if he had
been shut in by walls of iron. The
wolves and carrion birds had stripped
the greater part of the flesh from both
skeletons The miner concludes bis de-
scriptien by saying: at was sight I
shall never forget. I can see it now
whenever | close my eyes. ."-Ti' gina

sToCK GAMBLING.


"Toby Candor" writes from gar
Francisco TO the Boston Journal: "In.
vestments in mining stocks for legiti
Msto purposes are not made here. DiEi-
dends are never thought Of, and are OF
no sort of consequence. Those who In
vest depend upon the fluctuations to
make their money. The Stock Board

nense fortunes made out here in stocks.
but you never hear of the numerous
disasters which occur. It is not ope
man in five hundred who goes into stock
gambling that ever makes a dollar.
Ruin Is sure TO be his fate sooner on
later. During the past year the numer-
Gus financial disasters which have oc-
curred in this city have all been brought
about dabbling in stocks. Millions and
millions of dollars have been lost.
Nearly all the failures of mercantile
houses are traceable to investments il,
stocks. Last week was one of terrible
wreck to stock manipuiators in the deal
IN Alta. Six or seven months ago tbis
stock sold for 81 share. At hat fe-
ure it was quietly bought up. Although
regarded as ; wildeat, Notwithstanding

lode, under skillful manipulators it be-
gan to advance. When it reached sI0
and $l5 there were several bad breaks.
but with the reports of rich develo;
ments of ore, up it went t. 1923, and
then tumbled back to Sl5. Then came
an assessment Of 81 share, but neither
this levy nor the fact that the title OF
the mine was questioned dampened the
ardor of those crazy to buy it, but
what with the reports of new strikes Of
rich ore everybody seemed more eager
to buy the stock than ever, and il
bounded up TO s99 a share. Now was
the golden opportunity for the manipu-
lators, and they avaiIed themselves of
it by unloading. Thousands of shares
were put ON the market, and then came
the crash, when in three days Alta fell
to 81 share. As the result hundreds
were badly injured and many were
utterly ruined, while over 81 zoe, 600
were pocketed by those who put up the
job. The tricks and curious transac-
tions in stock gambling here would
make an interesting chapter"

Kearney the notorious agitater Of
San Francisco, who was lately the Lead
or of the Commusistic forces there,
and who has been deposed. headed 8
deputation recently the Roman Csatlo-
lie Archbishop, who after listening to
woriy harangue, addressed KesrneS as
follows: ''Mr. Kearney, I understand
that you wish me to mind my own bttsi-
ness. Very good; perhaps you know
what my business is better than I do.
But, Mr. Kearne-, there IS only enc
person who Is at present authorized to
show me how to mind my own bust
ness, and that is the Pope Of Rome
Perhaps, 1r. Kearney, If you writsto
him he will transfer that power to
you. And now let me tell you little
story, Mr. Kesrney. l have lived here
a great many years, and ] know the
temper Of the people of California pret-
ty well, and long time ago, before
you had come to America, I went TO
bed one night leaving everything going
on In the city as usual Wen, Mr.
Kearney, after a comfortable nights
rest arose and looked out of the win
dow, and there on the street was q poor
fellow hanging By his neck, dead, sus-
pended from a lamp post. He was
a poor fellow who did not know how TO
mind his own business, Mr.. Kearney,
and that was all You mind your
business well, Mr. Kearney, and viii

archbishop is, undoubtedly, a pret-
ty good specimen of the muscular Chris
tian, and a thorough bred Pacific sloper
withal.

point blank lie, which might entail the
penalties of perjury and the truth,
which would cost him money.

conscience and the truth came out. The

lost, had been won by the senior part

that, IS the SUM in question had actual

It was evident the truthful woman's
nature gave me all the credit Of result
in which achievement my share had
been next to nothing.
The lesson was not lost on George
Gilbert. His first false step was his
last and the richest fee ever received
was the heartfelt gratitude of his noble,
faithful wife.

way, and that money is as scarce as
ever. These people have peculiar no

suppose that money is kept from the
hands of those who earn nothing be-
cause there issnot enough to go around.
Let the mints coin an abundance of
short weight dollars, or the Govern.
ment presses run of no end of paper
