cry, and then he asked her to kiss him
goodby, for he said he was going a long

home, feeling better, because she had
told some one of her trouble.
The next night after she had gone tc

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Truth aud oil always como to the sur
face.
lie that lives with crippIes learns to
limp.
ono enemy is too many, and hum
dred friends are too few.
There arc some things that silence
alone can answer.
Small ideas and large words make
painful combination.
1t is mind, soul and hoart--not taste
or art-that makes men great.
Never speak well or ill OF yourself.
II well, men will not believe you; if i'll,
they will believe great deal more than
you say.
Vanity and jealousy are the two
weakest passions ia tils human heart
and, strange to tell, they are the most
common.
Some things after ali come to tho
poor that can t get in at the doors Of
the rich whose money somehow blocks
up the entrance way.
If we could read the secret history OF
our enemies, we should find in each
mans life sorrow and suffering enough
to disarm all hostility.
Where there is abuse, there ought
to be clamor; because it is better to
have our slumbers disturbed by tho
ire-bell than to perish anil flames in
our bed.
One of the commonest of illusions is
to imagine that tho present hour Is not
the critical decisive hour. Write it on
your heart that every day is the best day
in the year.

The Lost Mine of Columbus.

The Lost Louisiana mine at Bear City,
Arkansas. has romantic history con-
nected with it. Stories Of this mine,
it is said, reached the ears of Columbus
and the early voyagers, and stimulated
many hardy spirit to renewed excrtion.
The mine was worked for many centuries
by the aborigines, but it is doubtful
whether the Spaaiards eyer penetrated
the secret paths that conducted TO it, as
every precaution was taken to lead them
astray. De Soto lost his life and was
buried in the Mississippi river as the re-
suit Of too much curiosity in searching
for the Lost Louisiana. The Indians
covered up their works, and it was left
to a keen-eyed miner from the Rocky
Mountains to reveal the long lost and
almost forgotten miaes. The Ozark
mountains are tuunelled 10 a wide ex-
tent and ruins OF ancient works arc
found in great numbers In the yiciaIty
Of BaaECity. The ancient method OF
reducing ore Is uoknown. ~ Commercial

Fcigned Death and Was Buried.

Col. Musser relates an interesting in
cident of army experiences which oc-
Cured while he was in command of tho
post of Washington, Ark, in the SUM
mer of 1864. Tho story as related is
told by Federal officer a prisoner in
camp, to Capt. JAS T. Otey OF tho
Eighth Missouri Infantry. Lieut. Boren
was Federal officer in an Ohio rcgi-
ment, and had fallen into this hands OF
Dick Taylor about the time Of Banks
Red River expedition. Becoming weary
of captivity, he planned with several of
his fellow prisoners scheme by which
at least oae OF their members might
make his escape. Whiskey poker was
playel to determine which ono
should be given the first chance. Lieut..
scheme agreed to, he feigncd death, was
buried by his comrades in a shallow
grave, and succeeded in making his
resurrection after the departure of the
Confedcrates and companions. The de-
serted grave was discovered during the
day by some loiterers about tho camp
ing-pIace and the ruse dropped onto"
and reported to the commandant at
Marshfeld, La, who Immediately set
pack Of bloodhounds to track tho fugi-
tive. After the trail was struck all Of
these but one were called of. This one
continued the pursuit, and at the end
Of the third day overlook aud freed the
lieutenant in the dense woods near
Washington, Ark. The hound guarded

in the pursuit, arrived and again took
charge Of the wcll-nigh starved fugitive.

Resignation.

Though dim mine eyes no tears / plead
They hold the gathering mist of age;
My memory fails; scarce can read
My life's ill-shaped, close written page
Uncertain dreams of childhood come
Like song of bird and scent of flowers
And like the far-of rivers hum,
Falls thought of later bug hours
Yet why repinel If have md
But rubbish in my earthly uest;
If, in Thy circling gaze profoL 'd
cannot add to what is best:
only bow my head and say:
"Thy will, not mine, be DONE"
And in Thy wisdom fade away,
AS vapor fades before the sun.

PATTY'S MUSIC BOX.
A STORY Fer YOUNG AND OLD.

N 0AOANA HO1e AON4NO AMI OLDs
Patty Hendrick was so happy that
she fairly Jumped up and down. 1t
had been showing all the morning, and
as no one had been to the farm house,
Patty had been having a very dull
time. Right after breakfast she had
helped mamma do the dishes, had made
her bed Qor she was an industrious lit
tie girD and then she had dressed and
undressed Arabella until she was tired
even of her. Now, however, she was
very much excited, for when Dr. Gray
came in front of her house on his way
to see poor, sick Mrs. James, he saw
Patty in the window and called to her.
'Ask your mamma if you can go
down and spend the day with Amy, for
she has sore throat, and if you can,
I'll stop for you when l come back,
he said. Mamma was willing and now
Patty was getting ready to go.
While Mrs. Hendrick was trying to
see if Patty's face was clean, that dam
sci was dressing Arabclla and talking
as fast as her tongue would run:
Mamma, do you suppose Mrs. Gray
will let Amy have the lovely little pup
Ply in the housea Do you believe we IL
have jam tarts for supper? Have got
to come home before dark?
Finally mamma sail: 'FWhy, Patty
Hendrick, you must stop, or you will
drive me crazy, and can't get you
ready to go at all"
All this happened good many years
ago, and little girls nowadays would
think that Patty looked funny if they
had seen her when she was ready to
start. She had on bright req stock
lngs and red and brown plaid dress.
Her hair had been done up on corn
cobs the night before to make it curl,
and her face was almost as rosy as her
stockings. Then she put on a thick
brown coat, white fur cape and hood,
and red mittens, and she was all fixed
Wnen Cue uOCCOr came
On the way down to the village, Pat
ty and the doctor met a gray haired,
cross-looking gentleman riding on
black horse. Patty nodded happily
and the gentleman nodded back, while
DR.. Gray said:
"How did you happen to know Mr..
SimmsG I didn't suppose that he liked
little girls very much"
81 don't believe he does, for he al
ways looks so cross. One day last sum-
mer went to the post-office with papa,
and Mr.. Simms came out with lot of
papers in his hands. After he got upon
bis horses back he dropped some and
looked very cross about it, went and
picked them up and gave them to him,
and now he always says, How'd do,
Pattyp to me.
After she had finished Patty blushed,
for that was long speech for little
girl who had been taught that ''chil-
dren should be seen and not heard, but
the doctor was so kind that no one was
afraid of him.
Soon they reached the house, and
Amy was in the window watching for
them, and OH how glad she was to see
Patty, for a sore throat is not very good
company on a stormy day.
The little girls went up stairs into
Mrs. Grays room, and there was the
puppy doing away in front Of the fire,
and on one Of the chairs was Amy's doll,
Violet. Now Violet had wax head
ard Arabella had a china one, but they
were as good friends as their mammas
for all that. First tho girls had a romp
with the puppy, and then they put VIC

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, DECEM Der 1, 1885,
SEMI WEEKLY
WILL TT PAYy

OF course economy is desirable in
the new city government. Public
sentiment demands that there shall
be no needless OUTLAWS and that all
improvements shall be made with the
strictest regard to light expenditures.
While we should guard against waste,
we should also take care not to go to
that extreme which results in false
economy.
These general principles are con-
nected with the proposed purchase Of
chemical fire engine. There is no
question as to the efficiency Of such
engines, especially when they are
used in the early stages of fire.
President Hill, who saw one put to a
severe test, speaks highly of their
merits. Mr.. King of this city also
considers them very efficient No
one questions either, that the town is
exposed at all times to great danger.
Mayor Gibson spoke very clearly and
emphatically on that subject in his
message to the council. In winter
the danger is greatest, because fire is
in general use and the facilities for
procuring water are less than in sum
mer time. In battling with fire on
cold wintry nights, when snow is fall
ing heavily, the fremen are at consid-
cradle disadvantage and are always
in danger of finding Their best efforts
defeated.
The main question then is: Will
it pay to buy chemical engine?
The cost of one is small compared
with the risks The assessed value of
the town property is over Sl,5O0,00O.
It may be fairly assumed that the
actual amount Of property at stake is
$2,5O0,O0O. OF course this includes
lots which do not burn up, but large
fire such as all towns are liable to,
would affect the value of real estate
as we'll as of such other property as
might escape it. In view of such
risk, the council should not hesitate
to provide the engine. We are con-
WINGED that when the people look into
the matter they will cheerfully &C
cept any taxation which the purchase
may entail.
