Ribb,e Returns,

view with MIR. Ribble, we are enabled
to produce the following points for
the benefit of those wishing tc ''seek
their fortune in the mining country:
Behold the prospector who wander
eth over the face of the earth.
He traverseth the hills and pricketh
the tarren mountains with his pick.
The pangs of hunger gripe his
bowels in the morning, and at night
he lieth down with only a blanket to
cover HIM.
And the gray-backs come forth and
rend him. =
And he lifteth up the voice of la
mentation in the wilderness and cries
aloud to heaven:
"Why is this affection come upon
me, and why do the terrors of hell
compass me round about?"
And while he sleeps the wolves de-
YOUR his substance.
And when he findeth the groupings
he diggeth in the ground and tacketh
up the location nstics on a board.
Then he hieth to the valley and
saith to the capitalist:
"Harken unto me, for 1 have struck
it big.
Here are the samples from the
ground, and behold the gold maketh
lousy the rock with richness"
And the twain return, to find others
toiling upon the claim.
And the prospector graspeth his
gun, saying
sect We gone from here for it is
+ holy ground"
And a fire coming out of the bush
. smites him on the hip, and he calls
with a loud voice
81 am done for ; pull off my boots"
And they hasten to take off his
, boots, and the fragrance Of his socks
reacheth unto heaven.
And he gives mp the ghost and il

glory of her soon-t0-be-assumed raj
ment is almost an accomplished
reality. 1t is true her JOY may be
somewhat overcast by anxiety and
doubt as to the result of the grand
competition that is called on Easter
Sunday, when in church che with her
sisters must appear as on dress
parade.
But whatever we may say OF Lent,
it is an institution o: season for
good. There may not be much
modification Of the Gesh mr. puri-
fcation OF the spirit in the
quiet Hastings and miller joys that
are now the rule rather than tie
exception, but there is much solid
satisfaction 10 the mind at case and
plenty OF refreshment for the body
worn by the tolls OF the winters
fashionable campaign. Il is a pleas
ant religious discipline that provides
needed rest for the really weary ones,
and checks the frivolous career of
the others.

a Big Thief with Big RaiI.

Boston, Is. - Nathan P. Pratt,
treasurer of the Reading Savings
Bank, tried upon fifty-two counts for
enlightenment, has been found guilty
on tWenty-aine counts. The case goes
to the supreme court. Pratt's bail is
$4,000. He negotiated paper with
other banks to the extent of $40, 900
and systematically stole from deposits
when handed in. All his transactions
we're kept from the knowledge Of the
bank officers, but he says the exercise
of ordinary care on their part would
have prevented any wrong doing by
him. His stealings aggregated over
$4,000, and will make the bank
insolvent and entirely without assets
to pay some $4,000. The son fled
before the father was arrested, and
his present whereabouts are now uu-
kuOWn.

SOME STATISTICS Of interest have
been officially published vita regard
to the consumption of tobacco in
Germany. During the year 1873 that
empire used tobacco worth $50, COO
600 marks, which brought a revenue
to the government OF &c, 1913, $3.50
marks. The quantity used amounted
to 2, 1876, 900 hundred weights, and of
this $50, 900 had been smoked in the
shape of cigars. Reckoning 100
cigars to pound in weight, the num-
Der Of cigars consumed in 1878 would
be more than 7,O00,CO0.OOO, or
enough to give 100000 smokers

Besides in cigars, the Germans
smoked 1927. 200 hundredweights of
tobacco in ether forms. They snufed
10000 hundredweights, and they

Denis, Trial.

San Francisco, 13.-In the police
court, this afternoon, KearueY was
placed on the stand for the use of
vulgar language and threats to kill.
The defense waived q jury trial. Tes-
timony was introduced to show that
the language was used as stated in
the complaint. Kearney was the
only witness for the defense, and in
one of the cases only immaterially
modified in his evidence the language
as given in the complaint. In the
second case the language was admit
ted. Kearney's counsel moved the
dismissal of the case, on the ground
that the language did not tend to
create a breach of the peace, it being
directed in one case against a person
not present, and in the other against
no one in particular, being a vague,
general denial. The case was sub
milted without argument and taken
under a1visement until Monday.
