Church Wedding.

The quiet vii age Of st. Georges present
ed quite an animated appearance last
Tuesday afternoon, on the occasion of the
marriage of Rev. Henry Runner, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, to Miss Lizzie
A., daughter of Mr.. Win. A. Stuckert.
The ceremony was performed by Rev. w.
G. Alexander, in the church, in the pres
ence Of large concourse of people. The
display of flowers was very profuse, and
beautiful in the extreme. Chief among
the attractions was shield of green, on
which monogram of the letters r. and
S. was tastefully arranged in red flowers.
Miss Smaltz, of Philadelphia, presided at
the organ. Though there were no cards,
after the nuptials few friends gathered
at the residence of the brides parents and
spent an hour in pleasant social inter-
course. There were some very handsome
presents given, and 50 many that it would
be useless to attempt to give list of them.
The happy pair left Kirkwood on the
evening train for Philadelphia, whence
they would 90 to Buffalo, N. Y, to attend
the sessions of the general assembly of
the Presbyterian church, of which Mr.
Runner is a delegate from New Castle
Presbytery. ~

he plunged into the river, and after
some trouble saved her. The child
turned out to be his own sister. Not
content with having rescued her from
death, Genin, like a good hearted little
boy, wanted to shield her from the pun
eishment she had deserved by playing
too near the river, contrary to her par
ents' orders. So he took the blame OF
her disobedience on himself and re-
ceived beating from his father. The
little girl, however, could not bear TO
see him suffer in this way. and after
ward told tho whole truth, which was
corroborated by the evidence of an eye

with ties, became loosened in some mex

move down che steep grade toward Cie-

Another tried and failed. A. regular

quickly discovered that the brakes were
out of order. The car by that time had
increased its speed to fully twenty
miles an hour, and to remain upon it
would be almost sure death when the

in profusion along the roadsides. they
are never seen on the table. being con-

bad. And fresh figs are always eaten

Il wish yon would explain to me all
about this sailing of claims that hear
SO much about" said a meek-eyed ten
derfoot to grizzly old miner who was
panning about six ounces of pulverized
quartz. 81 don't see what they want
to salt claim for. and I don't under
stand how they do it."
''Well, you see, a hot season like this
they have to salt q claim lots of times
to keep it. A fresh claim is good
enough for fresh tenderfoot, but old
timers won't look ut anything but a
picked claim. You know what quartz
is, probablyP"
mo"
.'Well, every claim has quartz. Some
more or less. You find out how many
quartz there are. and then put in SO
many pounds of salt to the quart.
Wild cat claims require moro salt, be-
Gauss the wild cat spoils quicker than
anything else.
Sometimes you catch q sucker. too,
and you have to put him in brine pref
ty plenty or you viii lose him. That's
one reason why they salt q claim.
'Then. again, you often grub stake

But what is a grub stake?'
"Cli, az oeoAO 40 - oseHAS aAiSsS
the BOYS hang their grub on SO they
can carry it. Lots of mining men have
been knocked cold by blow from

What wanted to say, though, was
this: You win probably at first strike

of something else Then you will no
doubt sink till you strike bedrock, or a
true assure gopher hole. with traces OF
disappointment.

You can shoot it into the shaft with a
double-ba.rreied shotgun, or wet it and
apply it with a whitewash brush. If
people turn up their noses at your
claim then, and say it is snide. and
that they think there is something rot
ten in Denmark, you can tell them that
they are clear off, and that you have
salted your claim and that you know it
is all right"

was buying adouble-barreled shotgun

car ahead was increasing in speed at
every turn of the wheels, and the grade
there is very steep. The locomotive,
however, kept gaining, and finally
Shaw placed the lever in charge of his

and. taking tile heavy coupling rod in

until the car was reached.
