THE LAST BOOK OF ELI.
CHATTER I.

Una IL IN -
And l. came to pass that in the DAYS
of King Eli there was much marrying
AID giving in marriage, insomuch that
q decree went forth throughout all
the land that whosoever cohabited with
more than one woman, save it be in g
brothel or otherwise on the outermost
side of the marriage relation, the same
should be cast into den of bedbugs.
And behold, on account of these
things there was exceeding great Ia
mentation throughout the land which
Is in the midst of the river Jordan, and
many did gnash their gums and
vamoose, and some did burrow
into the earth and pull the whole OF the
evidence in after them.
And after the space Of time they
remained that were left" as it were,
whose foresight was ma sac guild, as
their hindsight were taken and cast
into the den and devoured.
Now the king, which was Ell thar
came from out the land Of mOolshine,
the same that was surnamed the
gettite, was exceeding fair Ito look
upon, only and was filled with the
pomp and vanity fair, and rock and
rye of this world; and when The
king saw them which were sore
distressed on account of this decree. he
exclaimed in loud voice, saying Hal
leluyah, EIrekal Give me another Gin
and Sugar"
And it came to pass that the wise men
of the land gathered together to make
laws to give unto the people.
And it came to pass that when the
wise men had gathered together, the
King stood ia their midst and paved
the air with his lungs, and spake many
things which were exceeding stale, even
lIkeunto the writing of The Tribune
Scribes and Pharisees.
But the wise men were given much
disoerDm mt and they saw that the
vaporings of the King were both spe-
cious and fallacious and hogswash, and
they had it in their heads TO invite the
King to 60 somewhere himself and so
forth, but spake not.
Then the wise men needed not the
King for these and other reasons, but
after the space of time, gave many
good and wholesome laws unto the
multitude, at which the people rejoiced.
saying: The hour of our deliYerance
Is surely nigh. for behold if the wise

ton want, yea, verify. the evil ones
which are sent amongst us to pick
their teeth and draw their salaries,

Now the king. being dough head,
called together the wisdom and avordu-
pois of his realm and they did put their
heads together, hkeunto a carpenter
which buildeth barn, and they spake
unto the king and coached him in his
duty and loaded him with taffy and bad
advice and when they had concluded,
behold, the king had it pat.

SATURDAYS Keystone saws the re.

couI STORM overlook number of
teams between Ketchum and tributary
points. Three outfits started out
Friday morning for the summit, one
party on snowshoes, another on horse
back and the third with four-horse
team. All were supplied with food,
shovels, blankets, etc, for the relief Of
the snow-bound men. The latter
party found it impossible to proceed
with a sled over four miles. The
horsenien returned at Z O'Clock p. NJ.
Saturday with the good news of an
effectual trip to the foot Of the sum-
mt, where two of the missing mem
Garry Davis and Keller-were found,
and the safety Of the others learned.
The trip to the mountain was very
difficult and dangerous one, and IN
more than one instance the horsemen
escaped by hair the deadly ava
lanche. The two men were found
in the cabin at the base of the hill,
lowering over small fire, wet. fa-
tlgued and half-starved. They had
been to the summit with King and
O'Brien, having left the sleigh about
half way up the grade on Wednesday,
and only left them that morning to
make an effort to reach town in
search of aid. The others and the
animals were without food from
Thursday morning and completely
showed in. The party at the cabin,
after rest and some food, started on
the return. They met the snowshoe
men and apprised them of the con-
dition of affairs. with instructions to
remain at the cabin Friday night and
divide Saturday; two of them to
relieve the men on the mountain and
the other two to come back to Ketch-
um. So that, if successful, the un-
fortunate men and horses were reach
ed SATURDAY at noon and the former
supplied with food. The distance up
the mountain is about two miles, but
the continued snowslides render it a
slow and hazardous passage. At noon
Saturday the snow-bound men were
without food forty eight hours and it
is possible that, in fear of pending
starvation, they killed horse before
the rescue arrived. The horses ate
their last bit of grain Friday morning,
and the only food the men had then
was rat Garry Davis killed, and
laid up for the worst, before he left.
The horsemen that went out Fri
day morning reached the cabin at the
foot of the mountain at three O'Clock.
Davis exclaimed to Harry Hill, my
God, Harry, is that you?" Keller
trumpeted III with-"Have you got
anything to eat?" They were soon
made happy. When within about
two miles of the cabin the party made
very narrow escape from fearful
slide. Mr.. Mitchell was on a mule
in the rear, when the alarm was given,
and no sooner saw the snow coming
than the mule swayed his off ear to
the sweet intonations Of the ava
lanche and with heavenly inspi-
ration, ''just got up and few" Man
and mule escaped by length,
Another party was started out
Saturday morning by H. c. Lewis to
rescue the outfit on the summit. 1t
was composed of Johnny Falls and
Mr.. Miller with two horses and two
mules. 1t is their intention to bring
the teams out by way of Ketchum
The sled and bale of hay were left
on the grade about half mile from
the summit, and the keystone says
