BEAUTIFUL BEAUTY.
Two United States Officers i'm Alaska
Die for a Woman.

Sitka Correspondence San Francisco Chronicle
The captain and lieutenant Of one OF the
companies stationed at Sitka in the first year OF
United States possession fell desperately in
love with the same beautiful Russian. She
was most charming woman, with soft, mys-
ferrous eyes. PALE delicate face, and a slow.
dreamy smile that set the two warriors wild
All the garrison knew of their fierce rivalry so
marveled not little when their old
friendship appeared to be restored. and the two
sutors started OF on a hunting expedition
togetner. One haggard man returned two days
later and told that his companion had been at
tacked and gored to death by an enraged buck
IN the forest. He was gloomy and strange in
his manner. and at nightfall went to the house
OF the Russian lady to break the news of his
rivals death.
The friends of the lost officer talked the
thing over, and suspecting that duel had
been fought, decided to go out the next day
and search for the body. In the morning
the surviving rival was found dead in bed,
with look Of agony and horror on his face.
One story was that his victim had appeared
to him, and he had died Of fright and terror;
the other was that some unknown and subtle
poison had been administered to him In q
cup Of tea, and the official report ascribed his
death to heart disease The body OF the lost
rival was found at the foot Of steep bank on
the shore Of Indian river, where q tangle of
ferns, bushes and grasses shaded and almost
covered the clear, still pool In which he Law.
His rife lay near him, and q bullet hole IN
the heart told the sad truth that his friends had
suspected. His death was officially attributed
to the accidental discharge Of his own rife
while hunting, and under these two verdicts the
real truths were concealed. The family Of the
Russian beauty disappeared from Sitka in few
months, and the story had been half forgotten
until the recent opening Of path along Indian
river recalled it to some Of those who lived
here at the time.

A Royal Flush.

Three sports got into railroad car,
A railroad car, with pack OF cards;
They called thear' 'hyar," and ''there" "thar
And they always spoke to each other as s'pardsn
For sports there are, both good and poor,
Professional and amateur,
Where railroad trains are running.
They wanted a fourth at poker hand
Three were they, and they were one short
And they asked stranger II he'd the sand
To try q little game for sport
For strangers there are where men abound.
And you'll always find a stranger around
Where railroad trains are running
The stranger didn't know the game,
But he was willing to live and learn:
To him the cards were all the same
''They was &c all at first, he'd hearni'
And the sports laughed loud and dealt the pack
And gave HIM four queens and thick-legged Jack
As they viii when trains are running.
And then they bet on the poker hand,
And fattened the pot to ge0dly pile,
And they asked the stranger IL he would stand
And the stranger stood, with simple SMILE
And one sport raised the other two,
And the stranger him. as strangers do
Where railroad trains are running
And then in solemn, breathless nush,
The three sports showed what they had got;
But aces won't beat royal flush,
And the stranger gObbled that obese DOT
For strangers and sports are natural foes
And the former carry cards In their cioes
Where railroad trains are running.
