Upon his whiskers fine

The paragon divine.

Gave beard, mustache and all.
One night they passed In pleasant
happy welded pair;
But, ah, alas the next morn'a LRh.
Brought sorrow and despair.

But fear o'erwhelmed his soul:
The glue had started, and he left

The Bendels.

There were important and startling
Developments at Fremont, Nebraska, August
3. In the matter of the Benders. Mrs. Bender
made full confession of all the heinoas mur
ders committed on the John Bender farm Dur
Ing 70 and 20. She was widow when she
married McGregor, alias Bender, who was a
widower with four children. They migrated
from Missouri to Labelle county, Kan, when
under the leadership of Kate, old Johns
daughter, the murders and rohberics began.
Mrs. Bender declares that she had no person.
al hand In these crimes The first man killed
by them was man named Brown. Very
soon after the first murder two more strar gers
were killed. The woman was asked whether
she remembered about whole family being
killed, and she said: "Yes, do. There was
a man and wife and two little girls who drove
up to the house ono afternooa and wanted to
speEd the night. That night while the man
aud his wife were at supper, they were
dropped through the hole. Kate and the old
man were below. The man fought pretty
hard but they fixed him. The next day the
two children were buried alive. Old John
took one and Kate the other. They hollered
awful, but finally stopped, and Kate came in
and said, the damned brats arc all right now.' "
Soon after this, according to the woman's
story, they became frightened and joined the
Cherokee or Choctaw nation. Many further
details were obtained from this woman, and If
these are not the original Benders the fact can
easily he established

The Australian Forest.

Morning and evening the Australian
forest 8 sawake; at noon it is asleep. No
greater contrast can be imagined than
between the morning hours and those
at mluay. In the former the very
Mowers seem to possess an active exist
ence. Myriads of such, larger and
more brilliant than those under English

SCENTS magnificent tree-ferns wave
their frDnds or branches in the light
breeze; on old stumps of trees great
green ald yellow lizards lie watching
Tor thei' prey; the magpie throws her
voice tr,m the wattles, and possibly the
lyre-biri in the denser scrub; and in the
tall gums numberless paroquets, par
rots, rosellas, cockatoos, butcher birds,
love-birds, etc., are screaming and dart
ing to ana fro. But by-and-bye the in
tense hest will silence all these, and
nothing will be heard but the chirp
OF the grasshopper ard the shrill sound
of some unseen insect. At twilight

Sliding Down q Mountain.

The trail leading to the Metamoras
mine is both steep and narrow, and
winds along the side of Prospect noun
tain from the base to almost the summit,
In places the descent from it is very pre-
cipitous, falling off almost perpendicu-
larly for distance of 200 or 300 feet.
Several pack mules have been killed by
0eing pushed off at these points, but no
accident has ever happened to the hardy
miner and prospector who pass over it
until recently, and this fortunately was
not a fatal one. The snowfall had
almost obliterated the pathway, making
it peculiarly dangerous, and when james
Ahearn attempted to make the ascent he
was forced to grope his way blindly,
trusting to his knowledge of the route
to carry him over safely. 1t was not
sufficient, however, for when about half
way up he slipped from the icy crust
and before he could recover himself he
was travelling down the side of the
mountain at rate of speed only equaled
by a meteor. While the snow was the
immediate cause of Ahearn's disaster it
was also his salvation, for it not only
preserved him from contract with the
rocks as he plunged down, but received
him in its soft embrace at his stopping
place, some $50 feet from the point OF
departure. AS It was his clothes were
rent and torn, so was his skin in sun
dry places, and while no bones wers
broken there were aggregate bruises
that will painfully remind him of his
experience for some days to come

Ont, skated under the ice together and
were drowned.
While driving a pheasant out of n
bush for his son to shoot, Job Monroe,

While Harold Wallace, six-year-old
son of DR.. Wallace, of Helveton, N. Y,
