Annie Gale,

In a sweet spot in one Of the Vest
ern States lives little Aunie Gale. Not
long ago she was led to embrace Christ
as her Saviour. The news of her con-
version soon spread through the place.
Que dny friend called on her father
and said: ''1t's all nonsense OF your
Anuie to think she has been converted.
She was just like little angel always;
she was good enough before. If Dan
Hunter, now, could be turned around
and made Christian of, I'd believe in
it," Auuie heard the conversation, and
her heart beat with pity for poor Dan.
She knew him to be one Of the worst
and vilest of characters. Impelled
with love for his soul, she went to his
wretched dwelling aud began to talk to
him in tender tones about Jesus, and
Gods love to the chief of sinners. AZ
ter referring TO her own conversion, she
asked him if he was not sinner, and if
he did not need the same Saviour whom
she had found. Poor old Dams heart
was touched; he wept, he fell upon his
face, and cried, lord ha' mercy on the
worst OF sinners!" God heard that
earnest, penitent cry. and Annie left
the old man praising the mercy which
could save wretch like HIM. 1t was
Dams business nov to tell to all the
story Of Gods love. He would say,
ats the same gospel. the very same
gospel, that so blessed little Annie Gale
You wouldn't think it could be, such a
dreadful sinner as I've been; but the
same good Lord who takes little chill
dren in his arms and 'em, saves the
chief of sinners too. It's truel Him
that cometh unto me, will in 10 wise
cast out" John vi. 3T.

The Largest Locomotive in the
World.

The largest locomotive in the world
has just been turned out of the Bald
win Locomotive Works for duty on the
precipitous inclines of the Atchison.
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. 1t
weighs sixty-five tons and is sixty>fcet
from headlight to rear OF tender. A
boiler twentysoue feet long supplies
steam for cylinders twenty inches by
twenty six, and give motion to eight
42>inch drivers, while large tank sur>
mounting the entire structure not only
carries water supply but helps to
give it tighter grip Oh the rails. The
engineer will have control over three
independent systems OF air-brakes,
and can bring to bear at
ouce upon his wheels a restraining
force of seventy-tive tons. which Is
none TOO large, inasmuch rs "shoe
pressure" of fifty thousand pounds is
required to keep him when standing
still and alone on the steep road over
the Rutan Pass from snrrendering to
gravitation and rushing down the hill
by his own weight. How heavy these
grades are can be understood when it is
noted that one end of Uncle Dick"
will often stand more than two feet
higher than the other, so that in travel
ing his own length he will do the work
of lifting about two hundred and fifty
tons perpendicular foot. And vet
this monster, rejoicing in his strength,
will rush up the Rocky Mountains with
ten loaded cars behind him.

Little Freddie was undergoing the

ought not TO mako such fuss. don I
fuss aud cry when my hair is combed. =
''Yes.' replied the youthful party.

and called him Mr.. Tweed. He was
eating bit of biscuit and some tiltor

down, aud looked at me i'll o curious

Then he began eating again withou

We had often talked about him a.

evening our talk somewhat drifted int

You're not the only one who would,
said Tweed. "What is your opinion

by carpenters and masons, by painter
and bricklayers. He might, and mayb

Patent survey Lines.


 4 recent decision by the United States Supreme Court, n regard to the side lines of mining locations. Is of great importance to miners. The Flagstaff Mining Company of Utah, it appears, had located lengshwise across a vein. and the owners of the Helen Tarbet lode contested its right to follow the ledge on the dip. The dicision delivered by Justice Brad- Icy includes the following points:
 First. 4 location upon a lode ought to correspond to its course
 Second. 4 locator can follow his lode on it's dip. outside of the side Ilnes, the end lines being carried downward In their own direction.
 Third. If location be laid cross wise on a lode so that it's greatest length crosses the same, 1t vii sc cure only 50 much of the vein as 1t actually crosses at the surface. and the side lines viii then become the end lines thereof. for the purpose of defining the rights of owners.
 Fourth. 4 locator treapassing subterraneously on the ground of an- other locator who has a distinct vein, Is liable to an action for taking ore tberefrom.
 From the above it will be seen that locators ought to be very careful about finding the true course of lode before laying out the surface boundaries. The Flagstaff Compa- ny lost its case because 1t loeated across a vein in possession of other parties.

Arkansas silver.


 1t is predicted that within one years time there wIll be almost a Leadville excitement prevailing in regard to the rich mineral deposits of this State. The fact that silver was not discovered in large guaun- ties years ago within our borders. is by no means au assurance that is should not be now.
 Yesterday fifty pounds of silver quartz were brought to the city and placed for exhibition in Klmball's harness store, on Main street. The quartz Is very rich, and one speei- men. weighing about five pounds, IS almost sohd silver. The name of the discoverer and the place of the discovery are secrets. but the fact is admitted that the mine IS situated near this city. The reason alleged for keeping secret the location is that the land does not belong to the dis coverer. With a view of land spec ulation, 1t would be an easy matter to bring specimens from some other place. Little Rock Gazette
 l. is suspected that the rich strike may be accounted for by the recent return of a gentlemen of this county from Globe district Arizona, who, when he left the cars, carried a satch- Tel which contained something heay- fer than dirty clothes.
