A Dividend Collector.

In the early days of railroading in
Missouri a six foot stranger, with a
bad look in bis eye, one day entered
station on the line Of the Blank
and Dash road, pulled out ten shares
of stock in the company and inquir.
ed of the station master if there
were any dividends on the stock.
"Never heard of any," was the
reply.
Didn't anybody ever try to collect
dividends 2"
of they did they didn't get any
thing"
This stock ought to pay 10 per
cent" continued the stranger.

"But Iye nothing to do with it..

"Too far away! Pm going to col

The above peroation was followed
by the sight of six shooter and an
expression which meant business.
and the agent didn't consume three
minutes counting out the money,
which the stranger took and walked
out, with the remark that he never
invested in stock paying less than
10 per cent, and didn't believe in
cumulative dividends This was
the only dividend paid by the road
in thirteen years, and the agent on
q salary Of $40 a month had to stand
that.

Named After HIS Girl.

A young and enthusiastic pros
pector returned to the city yesterday
from Wood River, says the Salt Lake
Tribune, looking bronzed and wealth
er beaten. He hadn't proceeded far
on his way home before meeting his
his sweetheart, who was going to the
depot to meet him.
"Why, George, you look just like
an old smoked ham," were the en-
dearing words that greeted him.
George had been living on ham
for the last two months, and when
his girl referred to that article, he
didn't know but there was some
thing hoggishlooking about him,
"Nothing mean or hoggish about
me, Jane, bet your bangs on that.
Found a mine up in Wood River,
and named it Jane-after you"
"What are you givin' me, dear
George ? What do you take me
for ?"

A New Charlie Ross story.

A private detective from Phila-
delphia, encountering a reporter in
st. Louis the other day, remarked
to him: "You may be surprised to
learn that l am here working up ev-
idence in the Charlie Ross case"
The reporter having obligingly ac-
knowledged his establishment, the
detective went on to say that the
discovery Of the lost boy had been
the prime object of his life for eight
years, that he had spent hundreds Of
dollars in the search, aud that he
was on the verge of success. He
then declared that the boy was in a
Catholic educational institution
near Philadelphia, and that within
few months, unless he should die
in the meantime, he would be re-
stored TO his parents with such a
chain of evidence around his neck
as would convince any jury in Chris
tendon of his identity.

Ar Ounce OF Prevention.

Sometimes an ounce Of prevention
is worse than a pound Of disease.
One day last week the children came
running in, shriekiny chat a big
hawk was circling over The poultry
yard. Old Farmer rhistlepod drop
ped his paper, caught his trusty gun
from the rack, and charged for the
poultry yard. He ran right over a
bee stand just the other side of the
cypress bush, and was stung in
thirty places before he jumped over
the fence of the poultry yard ,alight-
ing upon the old black hen that was
brooding thirteen chicks, breaking
her neck, and MASKING five helpless
"weetles;" the gun caught in the
fence as he jumped, and went off,
killing % young turkey, and filling
the Durham heifer in the meadow
nearly full of bucksh0t; while the
hawk, alone calm aud self-possessed
in the midst of the tumult and con-
fusion, sailed gracefully away with
the one spring chicken he had all
along intended to levy on.-Robert

A Bear Killed by women,
From the Wood River Times,

Last week Mrs. Marston, during
the absence of her husband, was
doing the weeks family washing in
the kitchen Of their home, near
Galena, when she heard a great noise
among the pigs in the yard. Open
ing the door she saw a large black
bear trying TO walk off with one Of
the pigs. The other pigs had climb
ed out of the pen and scattered in
every direction, and two large dogs
that had been out on several bear
hunts stood at a safe distance, per-
fectly cOWed. Mrs. Marston rushed
for the boiler Of scalding water,
which she emptied upon the head Of
the bear while it was trying to re-
tain hold upon the pig. Her daugh-
ter attacked the bear with an axe
and the two dogs came to their sup
port. Mrs. Marston does not know
how it occurred, but in five minutes
the bear was dead, with a dozen daep
gashes from the axe in its head and
shoulders, its hide nearly pealed off
by the scalding water, both of it's
eyes scalded and closed, and the
dogs hanging to it. That night the
Old man was asked if he would have
PORK chop or bear steak, and could
not make it out until the affair was

SONS over our young heads the
flowers on the brink seem to offer

are happy in hope and we grasp
eagerly at the beauties around US
but the stream hurries on, and still
our hands are empty. Our course in
youth and manhood is along a wild

more striking and magnificent. We
are animated at the moving pictures
of enjoyment and industry passing
us; we are excited ut some short
lived disappointment. The stream
bears us on, and joys and griefs are
alike left behind us. We may be
shipwrecked and cannot be delay

river hastens to its home, till the
roar of the ocean is in our ears, and
