FRANKS FUN.
How q Well Known Resident of
Benton Enjoyed a Trip to
Billings.

In a private letter to the editor Of
the Record, Mr.. F. NJ. Eastman tells
of an adventure, the particulars Of
which are worth relating, He says:
"When about twenty-sjx miles from
Billings the off trace of the off wheel
er broke. He Immediately began to
kick and at the first plunge straddled
the pole. He plunged and plunged,
kicking the nigh wheeler III a fearful
manner and badly injuf1ng himself.
The driver brought the coach to q
standstill after some trouble. The
only passengers were myself and
wife, and another passenger. l
got my wife out of the coach,
and then got on the box to
hold the team while the
other passenger held the leaders,
and the driver attempted to re-
pair the broken tug. At his first at.
tempt, however, the wheelers
plunged, the leaders knocked the lit
tie passenger down, and in a second

mad horses in front, q light coach be.
hind, and a strong conviction in my
mind that I was shortly to give up
all the ghost l had with me. How
ever, / managed to hold them
straight throught the coulee, al
though every plunge nearly hurled
me from my seat. l got my arm
around the upright which supports
the headlight at last, and then got
time to collect my thoughts. BY that
time I Was whirling along a side-hill
at a speed superior to anything I had
ever seen. A half mile ahead of me
I saw a big gulch. 1 con-
clud+d 1 had better do something. I
noticed that the coach was crowding
the wheeiers. With a sudden in
SEPARATION I let loose the reins of the
leaders, and simultaneously let Off
the brake. Atthe same instant I gave
the wheelers a jerk, into which ! put
the utmost strength of every muscle
in my body. The scheme succeeded.
The wheelers fell and the coach went
half way over them. 1 saw that the
game was up, and jumped from the
coach and ran back to my wife,
whom 1 found half a mile behind
upon her knees praying for my
safety. She had seen me disappear
over the further bank OF the coulee
with emotions which can possibly
be imagined. "God!' said the
driver, admiringly, YOU'RE a good
One.'

Hull was greatly esteemed by the
people here. as well as by the frater-
nifty, of which he was a prominent
member, and when he severed his
connection with the Grand Lodge
of Montana he was presented with
the regalia and jewels once worn by
the Marquis de Lafayette. The i'm
mediate cause of his death was tuber-
culosis OF the stomach, resulting from
typhoid fever. which he contracted in

THE GOLDEN LAND.

Lonely DER Life's desert dreary,
One broad waste of glaring sand,
Roam j, weak and worn and weary,
Searching for my "Golden Land"
For they told me when started
On that journey, years ago,
Hopeful. bIithe and happy-hearted,
Ignorant of pain and woe,
That. beyond the line of brightness
so this desert looked to me
Dazzling in its silvery whiteness,
Like the foam on summer sea-
Was the "Golden Land" enchanted,
Known TO youth of every aye;
By the hand of artist painted;
Sung by poet, sought by sage;
Land where hopes have eIad fruition;
Land where dreams are dreams no mort;
Till, before my longing vision,
Seemed to rlse its glorious shore.
Sense enraptured with its beauty,
Soul enraptured with its bliss:
What cared l that life meant duty
1, who owned estates like this?
So. from childhood's happy valley,
Out upon that sparkling sand,
Eagerly stepped and gayly-
All! that was my Golden LandI
But left It, little guessing
All the wealth left behind;
All the beauty and the blessing
That no after-search can find.
That wild landscape stretched before ms,
Swift sped, the goal was nigh,
While like furnace walls, bent Ger me,
Quivering with white heat, the sky.
OF the happy future dreaming,
OF the giories Just before
On the fair horizon cleaning
That enchanted, smiling shore.
And saw, as came nearer,
Waving trees and sparkling streams;
Fairer shone the scene and clearer,
Brighter than my brightest dreams.
Groves and gardens softly shaded,
Stately mansions snowy white
But the vision slowly faded,
Faded from my ravished sight,
Then grew so faint aud tired,
That only longed for rest;
All my glowing hopes expired
And despair my soul possessed
Now know the land enchanted
That CLEANED fair before my eyes
Was but u desert ,nfr1|1 raiuted
On the brazen. b1411< ekIes;
And my feet shall wander ever,
On this scorching, burning sand;
Ishall faint and fail, but necsr

Some of the Trials of Authorship.

To be known as writer is to become
public property. Every book writer
publishes-say, rather, every line he
traces-is an open sesame as good as
latch-key for some one {; it may be some
score. or hundreds, or thousands. The
already recognized author, with whom
his affinities may be more or less strong,
takes his hand as a brother-after the
public has accepted him-sometimes
before. The unsuccessful authors,
whose efforts find their natural habitat
in the waste baskets of the maga-
zines and newspapers, seeing that he is
afloat, struggle to the surface through
the dark waves of oblivion. and grasp at
him, in the vain hope that he can keep
their heads, as well as his own, above
water. The hitherto undiscovered twen-
tieth cousin starts up in the huckleberry
bushes, and claims him as a relative.
That citizen of the world, the borrower
whose remittances have failed to reach
him, is at hand to share the good fortune
of his literary friend, whose works, as
he says, have been his travelling COM
panions from China to Peru. The poet
with his manuscript, the reader with his
larynx, invade his premises, and he
must read and listen, perhaps to his own
verses. until
He back recoils, he knows not why,
Fen at the lines himself has made.
Rejoice, o man of many editionsi
You have sold your books-yes, and
you have sold your time, your privacy,
your right hand, if that is the one you
hold your pen in, and slice of your inn
mortal soul with it! For if you do not
sooner or later explode in all the NAL
edictions of Ernulphus and Athanasius,
you are gifted with patience that job
the all-enduring might have envied.
There is one more trial which touches
the finest sensibilities of an author The
reader who has adopted him as his favor
ite, or his object of admiration, has
formed an ideal of his person, his ex-
preston, his voice, his manner. How
rarely does an author correspond to this
ideal picture! How often is the visitor
