Once upon a time a woman died,
and as the mourners were carrying
her to the grave they tripped against
a stump and let the coffin fall. She
revived, having been only in a deep
trance. Two years after she really
died, and as they were carrying her
down the same road and neared the
same stump the disconsolate widow
er sobbed, STEADY, boys; steady
there. Be very careful r'--Quiz.

The election of a successor to the
late Congressman Haskell, IN the
second district of Kansas, is likely

district is uncomfortably close, and
the republicans will have to name a
strong man if they expect to hold

A Prison Picture.
Voice

"Dood bye, papa laughed 8 lit
tie child as her mother held her up
through the grated door of the city
prison yesterday. "Dood bye, and
hurry and tum back. What all 90
men doin' with my papa?" she con
tinued, gazing in on the rough look
ing prisoners who were crowding
near the door; ''if 90 is dood to
everybody 90 can turn right back
and see your little girl, too" Then
she clambered down and ran away,
while the big iron door closed after
her, as a sullsn cloud darkens the
sunlight. This little child, with
her innocent prattle, looking in up
on and talking to = group of hard
ened men was 3 pretty scene. As
she put her face against the bars
and kissed her papa, the Wretches
within that prison could not re-
strain their tears. Men were there
whose lives had been on the darkest
side of existence, who would not
hesitate at any. crime, whose char
acters were hardened and corrupted
by sin and debauchery; yet sim
pie little scene like the above, few
prattling words of a child, reached
down through every covering and
touched their better emotions. 1t
kindled within them lingering
memories Of other and better days,
and stirred up the little remaining
sentiment of manhood, husband
hood, fatherhood. The visit of the
child left an impression on those
men and opened their hearts to bet
ter resolves. However, it was only
one of the many occurrences that
take place in that little world of it
selt-a city court and prison.

Among the most recent inven-
tions in gunnery is a Gatling gun
which can throw a battery of 104
cartridges with effect either upward
or downward at any angle. Not
only can a fort or entrenchment
within $500 yards be thus rendered
untenable, but scaling parties,
should they ever be introduced into
warfare again, would have a new

Commissioners fatty refused to
grant any license.

Wise Discretion.

The law gives commissioners the
discretion to grant or refuse license
to sell liquors as beverage. We
are sure our commissioners would
use that discretion wisely by re-
fusing license to any saloon in a
country district and peaceable COM
munityi like Volcano junction.
