Of working out ue as any Of them. AT

last ten year..
~ worked diligently on all the points
which had In my possession, bu' at the end
of two weeks came to the conclusion from
what saw and heard that 1t was nothing
more or less than another scheme to ext0rt
money from me. The report was in my
opinion started for that purpo'e, but the
scheme failed for the reason that refused to
be bled."

SOmethinx.like q Miracle.

A Western mining paper tells this
story which will probably rapidly find
its way into the Sunday schools II.
II. White, who has been working on
the Dunkirk mine for some ii ,ne past,
last sunday, while reading the Bible
under the large pines east Of the mine
about half mile, becoming absorbed
in thought, uL"onsciously dropped the
book from hi, bands in such way that
it fell over precipire fifty feet high.
Descending into the canyon to recov-
er it, Mr.. White found it living upward,
open at the Gospel Of St. Matthew,
chapter vii, while large piece of rich
qu VIZ, which had been dislodged by
It's fall, lay on TOP, tearing a Jagged
hole in the seventh verse ASK, and
i, shall be given you seek, and ye shall
find knock, and it shall be opened
unto you" Accepting this as Il good
omen, Mr.. White searched, and, in but
a few moments, succeeded in Locating
the ledge, which was over two feet IL
width, and assays $22j, on an average,
to the ton. The mine is considered The
richest thing yet struck in the district
and an offer of $1,000, IN ade the tortu

Random, shots,

Durin 3 the past summer, handsom'
young nan and mischievOus young
lady were am ng the guests at a Viii
Mountain hotel. The young man was
teased by her friends on account of his
habits Of lunching just before going TO
bed. Que evening he found largt
paper bag of crackers on his tab le.
Rashly jumping to the conclusion that
the mischievou; young lady had made
him t 10 gift, he went on tiptoe to the
door of her room, and tossed cracker
through the open transom. Tho room
was dark, but the crackers fall was fol-
lowed by slight scuffling. He paused
a moment and then threw second and
third.
Each time rustliug was heard. but
no one spoke Having tossed the entire
contents of the bag into the room, the
young man stole away, and, as he left
