4 Dead Mule Ruins . " Skin Business.

Many years ago down in Idaho, during a gold excitement, good many men went into the country to make money outside the gold hunting industry. Their idea was 10 make the other fellows delve for the gold. while they appropriated it afterward.
 ROIlin .DaSgett, afterward Nevada's Congressman. established ferryboat on Q small creek, and named the place "Death's Ford, at the same time in- venting musty legend to the effect that it was thus named because 50 many lives had been lost In an attempt to cross 1t.
 The stream was not moro than a dozen yards wide and the water nowhere more than two feet deep but he rigged up a hatboat and pulled 1t back and forth by O rope contrivance.
 Whenever the prospectors crossed he regaled them with horrible tales of the treachery of thestream, and the remorse- less Quicksands which had drawn so many men and mules to terrible deaths
 In the night when he ferried people over he would caution them not to go too near the edge of the boat, as fall over board was certain death. By letting the dim old lantern go out, and making slow time. he frequently impressed the pas sengers with the idea that the stream was half mile wide.
 For night trips he charged s, but if the wind was high and the weather bad he struck sanguine prospector for much larger sums. In the daytime $1 was his modest charge.
 He went along in this way fU: several months. the men who rushed to the hills looking upon him as benefaotor to his race by this conquering of so formidable sn obstacle to travel as Deaths Ford"
 One day Charley Stoddard, the promo ter, appeared on the bauk with mule and boarded the natboat to cross.
 In the middle Of the stream, just when the ferryman was telling how dangerous the place was, the mule grew restive and fell overheard. One leg caught on rope and he got his head under water, and, unable to extricate himself, was drowned.
 When he was cut loose he lay there in the middle of Deaths Ford" half out of the water, so that all who came along saw what a miserable sham the ferry was, and that any tour-footed animal could walk scroes.
 Daggstt tried to get the mule away, but he was too heavy to budge, and so he lay there in plain sight for weeks, un- til Daggett's business as ferryman was Tuined.-lCarsonA Appeal.

THE rARMEn.s WIFE.

From out the rosy land of dreams She comes at early morning; The dew upon the meadow gieams, Fair as a brides adorning. Aroma from the waving pines,
 And fields of blooming clover; The noisy brook that sings and shines, With willows bending over; The eastern sky glows all afiame. As though. to one beholding, The gold and sapphire clouds that caEae Were heavens 1ate unfolding. But all this glory stands apart,
 Nor charms her with its beauty, For care sits heavy on her he2r1 Where falls the line of duty. The COWS await the milking tme With soft and patient lowing; The sturdy farmer. in his prime, Must hasten to his moving. His wife must speed the morn's repast. And work with nimble fingers, For farmers all, from first to last, Make hay while sunshine fingers. Anu WH60 LIS Iuedl lS O CT, lHo pdlbS Of foaning milk are waiting, With fragrance caught from sunny v,les To future joys relating. The cream lies thick, like cloth of gold, Where shining pans are brimmirlg. Their riches gathered fold on fold, All ready for the skimming. Then, later, as in olden days,
 With much of stir and flutter, By weary hands the dasher plays. And wins the golden butter. And so the day goes on, and on. No time for rest or pleasure; A womans work is never dnne." Is true in fullest measure, And as the sun sinks in the west, :. And day grows into even, Weary and worn she goes to rest, And almost longs for heaven.

Mr., E. P. Adams, agent for the
Thompson-Houston new system of cleo
trio lighting, calls our attention to par
ticulars regarding a proposed electric
railroad, which have been published in
a Boston paper. The proposed route Is
from Newton to Auburndale, and from
Newtonville to Newton Center. 1t is
proposed to adopt the Daft system now
in operation in Boston. The cost per car
per day is So, while to use horses it
would be So per car daily. The distance is
five miles, and to use steel rails the cost of
construction would be $4,000. To
establish the electric plant complete
would cost $4,000 additional, making a
total cost of 500, 900. 1t is intended to
use the same plant to light Newton with
electricity. These points may be of in
terest to persons in Honolulu.
