a second article, giving an account OF the

caused By DIR. Henion's statement IL Is

found there were six live miners cooped
up in this narrow tunnel-for the ex-
plosion had blocked up one end with an
unyielding mass of rock in Egyptian
darkness -cooped up there to starve, or
perhaps to suffocate. Shut out forever
from the blessed light of day, from the
free, open air; shut up there as though
they were buried alive in their collins
with not single chance to live, With
an instinct more than reason Bill kept
this little piece of iron in his hand until
it was warm and damp with the sweat of
horror before he discovered that he had
it. Then he put it into his pocket me-
shanically, then took it out to throw it
away and then again nnthinkingly put
it back, as man might idly count his
fingers as he stood upon tie gallows.
'How long they sat there dumb with
horror they couldn't tell. The tunnel,
fortunately, was high and the air they
breathed promised to last some time, but
what use was that? 1t only prolonged
their agony, and when they realized this
they swore again. At last they felt the
pangs of hunger and they ate. At
length, tired out with. excitement, they
slept, and thus the hours passed into
days until finally their food, remeasured
with the utmost care, had dwindled into
nothing-not even bite-and, weak
with hunger, they dragged themselves
to the lower end of their grave and laid
themselves down to die.
FINALLY they heard the faint tapping
Of pick. The miners were coming to
their rescue. At first they could hardly
believe their senses. But there could be
no mistake about it. Louder grew the
noise. Nearer came their rescuers. At,

length they could almost hear their
voices. Then for time these ceased.
oh, the fools gasped the prisoners,
in horror. They are going to leave us now
that they are only foot away, and we
can't make them know that we are alive
One miner staggered up to the partition
and vainly kicked it. Then they united
their voices shout. Then they waited.
Poor fools? They might as well have
whispered. Then they screamed and
shouted and cried and sobbed, but the
thick walls of their graves shut in their
cries as they did the daylight and air.
Again the picks were heard and again
they stopped. Suddenly Bill recollected
the rock which lay IN his pocket. He
drew it forth and with all the energy of
his fast departing strength he threw it
against the wall Then they waited
breathlessly. For a moment there was
silence. Then the picking began again
with redoubled energy. The signal had
been heard. They were saved. With a
great cry the dying men dragged them
selves nearer together, threw their grimy
arms around each others necks and wept
for Joy. They were safe at last. Half
an hour later the picks were through the
wall, and that afternoon the dead were
brought to life and the lost were restor-
ed to their families.

NOTES OF THE DAY.

The Salt Lake Tribune says that in
the past eighteen months in the Third
district court of Utah there have been
four convictions for polygamy and sixty
for unlawful cohabitation. The court
failed to convict on four indictments for
unlawful cohabitation. At Provo there
have been four convictions for unlawful
cohabitation, and at Ogden fifteen, max
ing nineteen for the First district. In
the Second district, at Beaver, there have
been eight convictions for unlawful CO.
habitation, making in all four for polyg-
amy and eighty-seven for unlawful CO.
habitation. Part of the latter were SIM
ply fined without imprisonment, and
several are under suspension of sentence.
The number of men under indictments
are probably much larger than those con-
victed, about all of whom are either out
of the country or else in hiding near
their homes.
A correspondent of the Inyo Register,
writing from Leda valley, Nevada, March
% says: ''The sererest shock of earth
quake felt at this place by the oldest in
habitant occurred at $50 o'clock this
morning. Lighter shocks and rumblings
were continuous at short intervals
through the day. The next heaviest

A BOOTBLACK'S LUCK
How Pat Higg ina, of New York City Amas
sed Fortune Out West

How Pat Higg ins, of New York City Amas
sed a Fortune Out West.
Pat Higgins, of Denver, Col, who is
estimated to be worth at least 800, 900,
formerly kept bootblacking stand at
the corner Of Broadway and Ann street.
In spite Of his wealth he dresses as he
did then, excepting on state occasions,
and is still engaged in backing boots,
though he does less of the manual work
than he did when barely making living
in. New York City. He now employees
many assistants, and is said to have
stands in several Colorado towns, and in
Tombstone, Arizona. He was well known
to New Workers doing business near the
City Hall park during the latter years of
the war and for several years afterward.
He was in the bootblacking business pre-
vious to the breaking out of the war, but
gave up the brush to serve two years in
the navy.
He then returned to his old stand on
Broadway, and lived in tenement house
in the Fourth ward. He washable to add
to his earnings by selling papers, but
eeen when making SIS day at his black
ing stand he continued to live in the
cheap rooms he had occupied when 81 a
day was good pay. He was an every
day sort of Irishman, unpretentous,
Woodworking, and sober. He could have
dressed well, but he did not care to, and
wore only common flannel shirt and
trousers in summer time, with the addi-
ton of a ea-jacket in winter.
Pat had ideas and aspirations that
were far above his station In Life. He
was very proud Of. his two daughters,
whose mother were dead They were
always neatly dressed, and went regular
ly to church and to school When they
grew up he closed his Broadway stand,
and saying good-by to the few friends at

opened modes. little shanty with a
chair In it, and hung out the legged:
Boots BACKED inside" Whenever a
miner came to town he always went first
to the BARRIERS then to Pats place to get a
shine, and then he was ready to paint the
town.
The miners paid Higgins in gold dust,
and % cents was the price Of shine.
The dust was not weighed, and Pat got
more than a quarters worth oftener
than he got less. He saved every cent
possible. He had no expensive habits,
never dressed up, seldom drank, never
gambled, and was making so to $40 a
day. Then he sent to New York for the
illustrated papers. There wasn't news
stand in the Black Hills at that time.
Every man and woman subscribed
through Higgins, for one of more of the
illustrated papers. He bought them for
10 cents and less by subscribing for the
year, and sold them for % cents, and
even as high as so cents and 81. Com
petition soon began. Higgins stayed
till profits began to fall off very per-
ceptibly, then moved on to the next
Honiter town that had no bootblack and
no news-dealer.
When Pat got as far as Leadville he
found he was worth several thousand
dollars. He selected the First National
bank of Denver as his bank of deposit,
and he has ever since done business with
them. Probably to-day he has $4,000
on deposit there. Not long after he
went west, Higgins begin sending &C.
casional orders for 800 worth of black
ing and brushes to New York firms.
The scrawling handwriting and doubtful
standing of the unknown customer
caused feelings of misgiving with some
firms at first, but the promptness with
which the little Irishman's drafts were
honored by the First National bank of
Denver, set at rest any doubts and Hig-
gins had become very valuable and
much appreciated customer at a well
known brush house in Beekman street,
and also at a backing mandatory
which is advertised on every rock and
fence.
Not long ago travelling man for the
brush house hunted up Higgins. He
found him in Tombstone, Arizona. Hig-
gins was the same man, with the same
prudent ways and modest desires, but
the same lofty ideas and found pride of
his daughters. He had just been to
Chicago on visit to see them. They
were being educated at the best schools
there. Having seen them, he had re-
turned contentedly, and with as firm
purposes as ever, to his cabin and his
brush.
The travelling man induced Higgins
to have his picture taken in his every
day clothes, with his pet dog at his side.
Higgins loved that dog very dearly.
They travelled together. When Higgins
went from the Black Hills to Leadville
he walked, only occasionally getting
ride on an emlgrant wagon. Higgins
was walked up one night by the barking
of his dog. The barking grew fainter,
and finally ceased. In half an hour the
dog returned, wagging his tail. He had
led band of Indians on false scene.

Over and under, in and ont.
The swift little needle flies;
For always between her in idleness
The mending basket lies:
And the patient hands, though weary.
Work lovingly on and on
At Tasks that never are finished,
For mending is never done.
She takes up the fathers stockinu
And skillfully mits in the heel
And smooths the seams with a tender touch.
That he may no roughness feel;
And her thoughts to her merry girlhood
And early wifehood go,
And she smiles at the pair of stockings
She knit SO long ago.
Then she speaks to the little maiden
Learning to knit at her side,
And tells her about those stockings
Uneven and shapeless and wide
had to rayel them out my dear;
Don't be discouraged, but try,
And after awhile you'll learn to knit
As swift and even as l. y
She takes up little white apron,
And thinks of the woeful face
OF her darling when she comes CRYING:
'Oh, mamai I've torn my lace"
So she mended the child's pet apron,
Then took up a tiny shoe,
And fastened stitch that was broken.
And tied the ribbon of blue.
The maiden has wearied of working
And gone away to her play:
The sun in the west was sinking
At the close of the quiet day,
Now the mothers hands are resting,
Still holding the stocking of red,
And her thoughts in the twilight shadow
To the far-off future have fed
20, where will the little feet wander
Before they have time to rest?
Where will the bright heads be pillowed
When the mothers loving breast
Is under the springs blue violets,
Is under the summer grass,
When over the fall the autumn leaves
And the storms of winter pass?
And q prayer from her heart she utters:
y, saiod bless them, my dear ones all
" may II be many, many years
Ere sorrow to them befallp'
To her work from the mending-basket
She turns with heart at rest;
For she knows that to husband and children
She is always the first and best.

THE SEASONS SONG.
by ELLA DARE.

When the south winds blow,
And the winters flow
In rythmical sound,
Then blades of green,
With a lustrous sheen,
Cut through the barren grounk,
The soul of the seed,
Knowing natures need,
Beats through the outer crust.
And rises above,
Where the sun in love.
Beams on its faith and trust.
Till earth is DER spread,
With q billowy bed
OF velvety grass,
That gracefully sways
To the toying ways
Of breezes that pass.
A chorus of cheer,
For the life of the year;
Come forth from its tomb
We sing with a will,
With q heart beat and thrill
Triumphant DER gloom.
From man in his need,
To the tiniest seed,
The law of the perfect is true;
Through death that will come
When earth's work is done,
We pass from the old to the new.
