WE know of no more remarkable
exhibition of woman's trustfulness
than that shown by the wife who
gives her husband a letter to mail.
The chances are ten to one that the
husband will carry the letter in his
pocket until the tOO-confiding wife
begins to wonder why she does not
receive an answer, and then he sud
denly remembers that he has for
gotten TO mail the missive. To ease
his conscience he slips Off the first
opportunity, and drops the neglec-
ted letter in the pOstOtfice. Many a
husband in Murfreesboro knows eX-
actly how it works.-M,0treeSbOrO

ONE of the queerest sentences
ever imposed on criminal was
that given to VIM. Hannah, found
guilty before Judge Krehel OF St.
Louis, of selling liquor to Indians.
Hannah pleaded ignorance of the
law as an excuse, saying he could
not read or write. Judge Krehel
sentenced him to the county Jail till
he could learn to write, and SEN
fenced another criminal to Jail till
he should have taught Hannah the
art. In three weeks both men were
discharged.-BOStOn Transcript.

PETERSON's MAGAZINE for OctO-
Der comes to us in advance of all
Others, and more beautiful than
ever. The principal steel engrav-
ing, IAN Ignoininius Flight" is
after one OF the most popular pic
lures of the last Paris Salon, and is
full of humOr and graphic truth.
There are two sheets of colored
patterns, with eight different de-
signs alone worth the price of the
number. The cOlOred steel fashion
plate is of rare lOveliness: "Peter-
son" il now the only magazine that
gives these steel fashion-plates, col
Ored by hand: all the other Inaga-
zines give mere Autographs. Then
there are some fifty wood-cuts, il
Illustrating fashions, and work. table
patterns of every kind. In the lit
erary contents We find the same
originality and merit that long ago
placed "Peterson" at the head OF
the ladies magazines. That charm
ing nOvelet aud lOve-stOry, "a
Filth Avenue Romance" is finish
ed, and a new and thrilling one,
''The Mystery of the BrOcken," be-
gun. There is also a racy story,
beautifully illustrated, "PhilosOphy
in the AdirOndacks" Mrs. Ann S.
Stephens, Frank Lee Benedict, ETC.,
etc, make up the other contributors.
Without question, "Peterson" is, as
it claims, the cheapest as well as
best of the, ladies book. It's prices
10 clubs, especially, are unprece-
IDENTIFY low. Specimens are sent
gratis to those wishing to get up
clubs. Address Chas. j. Peterson,

Under the United States Mining law 1t
"a necessary that 500 should be expended
annually in labor or material on all I'M
patented mining claims. This labor can
be performed at any time within the year
the year dating from the LIST OF January
TO the 3lst OF December Of the same year.
The labor cannot be partly done In one
year and the remainder within the next
year, but the full amount must be within
the twelve calendar months as stated.
Persons holding claims cannot be too par
ticular in the matter. as a failure to COM
ply with the law makes locations liable to
be jumped. Many persons hold claims
who fail to do their annual work as re-
quired by law, and doubtless there are Q
number of such locations in this district.
For the benefit of all such the SENTINEL
would advise that the annual work be at
tended to now, as there are not sixty days
more in the present year within which
work can be done.

81 Know 1 am Fat"

A very close observer is Father Hya-
cinthe, Of ours, and q man who appreciates
q good point. An illustrated paper fell
under his eve the other day which con-
tanned a picture Of a portly man, outlined
not unlike himself. His counterpart in
this sketch was represented as stepping
along airily, with shoulders thrown back
and with an expression on the face and in
the gait: 'Impertinent jackasses get out of
my way and don't you give me any more
Of your information about my size" The
key to the situation was a card stuck on to
the breast OF the man in the likeness, on
which was written: Il know / am fat"
This picture Father Hyacinthe has pinned
to the wall in a conspicuous place. and
when the facetious boys come around to
ask him how much he weighs, or to speak
for one Of the twins, he points with an
I-told you-so expression of pride to his
second self in the likeness, and reads sar-
castically from its eloquent bosom: II
know l am fat"
