the Spaniard went over his head. A
dull thud followed, and the next in
slant the Spaniard lay in the water,
floating away without q movement.
A wild shout went up that rent the
very heavens. Casper still kept his
log. His rival was in the water, and
the victory was his, but amid it all a
strange feeling visited the young cham
pion. He realized what had happened,
if the others did not. The Spaniard's
attempt to win victory by foul means
had cost him dear. His head had come
in contact with a boomstick that held
the logs in place. Senseless, the treach-
erous man was floating away to his
doom. One glance was sufficient to
satisfy Casper Fall of the truth. He
plunged into the water, and, selling
his rivals hair, dragged him to the
boom and called for help. This was
granted, and when the silent form of
Manuel Carr was laid dripping on the
shore, a naked dagger was found
clutched in his right hand. Great was
the commotion that now ensued. After
the first shout went up over Casper
Falls victory the settlers gathered
about the PROSTATE form of the Span
lard.
"His skull is crushed-he is dead!"
declared Colonel Given, in solemn
tones, as he made an examination.
The Colonel spoke truly. Manuel
Carr was dead. The dagger in his
stiffened fingers was a revelation of
his terrible purpose to win the contest,
even at the expense of his rivals life.
Dark looks were now cast upon Mr..
Cotton, who essayed to explain.
81 knew Manuel Carr had served
term in the penitentiary," he said
'but had no thought that he woul.
murder a man if he could not fairly
beat him."
Nevertheless, the Chicago man was
frowned upon, and he found it conven-
lent to leave Crosscut at an early hour.
1t was a sad termination to the days
festivities and proved to be the last log
rolling contest in that region.
AS for Nell Given, the incident quite
sobered her. She admitted that she
had flirted with Mr.. Cotton, but it was
Casper she loved, and in good time
the two were made one. Casper Fall
has proved the stuff that is in him by
forging to the front as a successful
lumberman. Colonel Given is proud
of his son-in-law.-J. NJ Merrill, in

NORWEGIAN BREAD.

Potatoes and Ryo Mixed Together and
Baked In Thin Cakes.
Bread-making was another industry
which we had a good opportunity of
seeing while we changed horses at one
of the stations.
Contrary to our expectations, we
found white bread everywhere, but the
common bread is heavy bread, the
chief ingredient OF which is rye. 1t is
always sour; the good housewife in
tends it to be SO. They also have '.fat
Bread" made of potatoes and rye. It
was this kind of bread that the two
women whom we happened in upon
were making. They were in little
underground room, unlighted except
from the door. The walls were of
stone and the floor was of
earth. They were seated on
either side of long low table,
upon which were huge mounds OF
dough. The one nearest the door cut
off a piece of this, and nodded it and
rolled it out to a certain degree of thin
ness; then the other one took it, and
with the greatest care rolled it still
more. At her right hand was the fire.
place, and upon the Goals was a red
piece of iron forming a huge griddle
more than halt a yard across. The
bread matched this very nearly in size
when it was ready to be baked, and it
was spread out and turned upon the
griddle with great dexterity, and as
soon as it was baked it was added to
the great heap on the floor.
The woman said she should continue
to bake bread for thirty days. She had
a large family of men, who consumed
a great deal; they had to bake very
often in consequence. In many places
they do not bake bread oftener than
twice year; then it is circumstance
like haying or harvesting. We heard
an Englishman say of this bread of the
country: lone might eat an acre of it
and then not be satisfied. Cor. Lon

Danny Was Turned Loose.

About midnight the other night a
patrolman on Champlain street was
halted by woman, living around the
corner, who informed him that a
burglar was trying to effect an en-
trance by the back door. The officer
summoned help and proceeded to the
spot. Sure enough, a man was at
work at the rear of the house, and
while he was prying up window the
officers made dash and collared him.
Il amt no burglar" he vigorously
protested as he was dragged along.
Don't let him get away" shouted
the woman from chamber window,
and the officers took good care that he
didn't.
Next morning the woman appeared
at police headquarters and said:
Il guess Danny has been punished
enough, and you may let him 60"
who's Danny?" asked the SER
geant
"My husband. l warned him to be
home by ten o'clock. He didn't come
till midnight. Then l had the doors
locked, and while he was trying to get
in had the officers nab him.
Danny was allowed to go, but that
jokeful wife got piece OF advice
which kept her hair on end for two
days.-Detroit Free Press.

a FORTUNE IN OIL
How Poor Irish Day-Laborer Became Q
Multi.MilllOnaire.

Multi-Milllonaire.
Persons who imagine the members
of the Standard Oil Company are the
only men who acquire more than ordi-
nary riches in the oil business are not
acquainted with the facts. The oil
country is full of men who have be-
come wealthy in the oil business, and
never had any connection whatever
with the big Standard John Nc
Keown, of Washington, Pa, is reputed
to be the wealthiest oil producer, and
his figure is placed at 100000 al
though it is likely to be much more
than this. Mr.. McKeown is q native
OF ireland, and began his career in this
country in the oil regions, coming
directly from Castle Garden to the
Pennsylvania oil regions during the
early excitement on Oil creek, about
1864. He was entirely without
means, and began as day la
berer, working for 81 a day,
handling pick and shovel for man
who had contracts for grading oil-well
derricks and tank seats. He soon be-
came a contractor himself, and from
that got small interest in we'll
which proved to be good investment.
MIR. Mckeown was not one of those
whose riches were suddenly acquired.
They came to him slowly. and only
through hard work and careful invest
ments. From Oil creek he went to
Bradford, in the early days of that de-
velopment, and there he was wonder
fully successful. His operations there
were mostly on the rich Bingham
lands, where every well was success.
He left Bradford very rich man, and
went to Butler County, buying small
farm not far from Martinsburg. Al
though a small tract, this was one of
the most prolific in the great Butter
field, and Mr.. McKeown realized an
other fortune here. During this time
he was making careful investments,
mostly in real estate in Pennsylvania
and the West, and these invest
ments, so far as is known, have
all realized handsomely. Indeed.
none of McKeown's friends can point
to any considerable investment of his
that has not been good one. He is a
man upon whom fortune always smiles.
His wonderful success in the Washing
ton and Taylorstown oil-felds is IA
millar to newspaper readers. In the
Washington district he probably de-
veloped the richest spot ever tapped in
the Pennsylvania region. It is said
that three farms here of which he was
the chief beneficiary produced IS, 0OO,.
600 worth of oil alone. Mr.. McKeown
owns a large amount of valuable city
property in Baltimore and Philadel-
phia, as we'll as cattle ranches in the

new Turkeyfoot district, lately opened
up by the Bridgewater Gas Company,
and If the region comes up to the ex-
pectatiOns of the trade he will realize
another fortune there. Titusville

gram thinks that If lingo Blaine is
Secretary Of State in the Harrison
Administration there is one circum-
stance that may deter him from rush
ing madly into strife. It isn't easy,
at present, to see where any nitrate or
guano bed jobbery could figure in a
war with Germany. It would be a
warfare involving principle, and this
is not exactly in Blaine's line.
The Philadelphia Telegram, a
Republican paper, says: ..The opin-
ion is gaining ground land with suffi-
Gent cause that the protection idea
is being pushed for Legitimate pur-
poses beyond its proper bounds; and
we are compelled to say that this
opinion will be strengthened rather
than lessened by certain features Of

gent men in the old party are not nj

triumph for Secretary Bayard. He
has been vilely abused by the Repub-

certed onslaught upon him in the hope

crowns the work, however, and it is
now seen that his firmness, tempered
by Cancellation, has accomplished
what certainly could not have been ac-
complished by truculent bravado.

The Signet Ring the Only Bauble Of .
Well-Dressed Man.
''The fashion of wearing jewelry
among men is growing to higher points
than it reached even in 1884. It was
then, you know, the practice reached
high-water mark. 1t attracted good
deal Of attention at the time, as prior
to that the jewelry OF men had been
notable mainly by reason of its abb
sence. The dudes, who suppressed
watch-chains. scarf-pins and the like,
allowed themselves full liberty in the
matter Of fnger-rings, and from this
the general run of clubmen took their
cues. Many fashionable man wore
five or six rings on his. fingers. The
great design then was the snake-ring,
and after that what was known as the
glove-ring. The latter consisted of a
heavy band Of gold, usually square in
design, in which were set diamond
with ruby or sapphire on either side
of it. The stones were set well down
in the gold and were perfectly flush
with the top, SO that man could pull
a glove on over the ring without diff
Guilty.
Perhaps the greatest success which
was reached then was when the brace
let appeared as a masculine adornment
The natural result of all this finery
was that the smaller clerks and cheap
Johns Of the town followed the suit of
their leaders, and the market was
flooded with tawdry jewelry. After a
time a good healthy reaction set in
and men went back to the ring which
they always return to-"

more or less familiar with the history
of jewels, and it has struck me often
that this ring, which monarchs Of two
hundred years ago wore on the first
finger Of their right hands usually, is
the only one which has staple place
IN the affections of mankind. Not only
do men return to 1t after they have
been led astray by gaudy diamonds,
and the like, but it is very often the
case that the best dressed of those who
are the most exquisite about their jew
elry give up all sorts Of precious stones
when they become forty-five or fifty
years of age and settle down to the
plain signet ring on the third finger Of
their left hand. Jewellers Gazette.

BAyARp,s VICTORY,
An Episode That Is Entirely Creditable
to American Diplomacy.

An Episode That Is Entirely Creditablo
to American Diplomacy.
Few points in the policy of the
United States are more firmly estab-
lished than the desire and intention to
remain on friendly terms and to avoid
ENHANCEMENT with the great powers
of Europe. In the most emphatic
sense of the words, the Republic is
Peace, and yet the occurrences of the
last two weeks show how readily and
how quickly the war feeling can be
aroused among the American people
under what seems the provocation of
an Intentional affront to the National
dignity. Had the news from Auckland
regarding German doings in Samoan
waters been confirmed, without any
further explanation on the part of
Germany, there can be no doubt that
within week some such resolutions
as those introduced by Congressman
Thomas in the House of Representa-
tives would have been adopted by
Congress, and with their adoption war
would have become imminent.
1t is very doubtful if war could have
been averted had Germany persisted
in the attitude which she has recently
assumed, and those who have per-
ceiyed this will read with satisfaction
the announcement that Germany has
receded from her untenable position,
and that Prince Bismarck has given
assurances regarding Germany's at
titude and intentions in Samoa that
will no doubt prove entirely satisfac-
tory to the American Government and
people. The German Minister at
Washington, under instructions from
Prince Bismarck, has formally notified
Secretary Bayard that the demand
made upon Mataafa by the German
Consul at Apia that the administra-
ton of the islands of Samoa should be
temporarily handed over to him 1.-THE
