The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1889-06-05

Most Of US are able to supply rep.
artee il we arc given time TO think Il
over, but a repartee half an hour after
the occasion for it has passed is like q
blank cartridge. II is the readiness Of
the rctort that makes it effective. The
great Russian soldier, Marshal Suvor.
Of, was in the habit OF asking his men
difficult questions, sometimes foolish
ones, and bestowing favors on those
who showed presence of mind in an.
swering them.
On one occasion a general OF division
sent him a sergeant with dispatches,
at the same time recommending the
bearer to Suvoroff's notice. The mar.
shal, as usual, proceeded to test him by
q series Of whimsical questions.
"How far is It to the moon9"
1.-TWO Of your excellency's forced
Marches" the soldier promptly re-
piled.
III your men began to give way in
a battle, what would you dos"
I'D tell them that just be.;nd the
enemy's line there was a wagon load
CI ROOu LIlngS 70 eat.
"Iow raany fish are there in the
seat"
Just N many as have not been
caught"
And SO the examination went on,
tllSuvoroff, finding his new acquaint.
ance armed at all points, at length
asked him, as final poser, What is
the difference between your colonel
and myselfT
The difference is this," replied the
soldier, coolly. MY colonel cannot
make me Q captain, but your excel
lency can"
Suvoroff, struck by his shrewdness,
kept his eye upon the man, and soon
afterward gave him the promotion for
which he had ed.-Youth's Com.
panion.

All on Friday.

-Four gentlemen engaged in COM
merce in an eastern seaport city were
heated unbelievers in the common 81
perstition regarding Friday as an un.
lucky day. They determined 70 show
their contempt FOR and explode the
silly notion. 50 they began 10 build
. ship on Friday, enished her on Fri
day, launched her ON Friday, named
her Friday, hired 4 captain on Fri
day and cent her Oh TO sea On Friday.
The ship was never heard from.

Competent Conductors.

The Union Pacific employs only the
best men in all branches Of service. Those
of the operating department are picked
men and the general efficiency is espec.
tally noticed among the conductors. An
instance Illustrative of the worth OF
good all around men occurred at Laramie
Yesterday. A drunken passenger was
very noisy. Conductor Lum Waterbury
quieted the fellow and left, hut was soon
recalled on complaint that ladies had been
insulted by the traveller, who refused to
pay half fare for his Jag. Waterbury was
mad. He thrashed the bad man in good
style and then left him at Laramie.

DECLARES SHE is INNOCENT,
Mrs. Jennie Farnum Denies the Thief
of 5000 from Her Husband.


Hiram Farnum, a medium sized COW
boy looking man, was racing up and down
Cheyenne streets three months ago she'd
ding hot, salty tears as big as crab apples,
tearing his hair and cursing the evil
genius which pursued him. Into a
LEADER reporters ear Hiram poured
quite a sensational tale of woe. He re-
lated in husky tones how he had confided
to Jennie. his lawful welded wife, the
care of 600 cleaning piastres and how
Jennie; his own true loved one, had skip
ped by the light of the moon with the
ducats, their offspring and-save bushes
"a handsomer man. His story was
plausibility itself and much sympathy
was extended the fellow. who was at one
time a well to do citizen of johnson
county.
Now comes Mrs. Farnum with her side
of the story. She protests with much
earnestness that she is entirely innocent
of the crime and asserts that Farnum has
not lately owned 5000. but invented the
story to appease Cheyenne creditors.
Mrs. Farnum writes THE LEADER from

LOST CABIN.
Death Ends a Hunt for Gold in wy
oming.

1t is learned here that on Aug. 4, 1886,
Charles E. Burnes aud Nathan Hubbard
left Linkyille, Ore, on a prospecting tour
to find the Lost Cabin" supposed to be
in the Wolf mountains, Wyoming. For
years the Lost Cabin has been one of the
traditions of that section, and many a
search has been made for it and the gold
that Is supposed to be waiting for the
finder. Nothing was again heard of the
two men until a few weeks ago, when a
cattle hCrder found their camp and their
skeletons in a dense wilderness zeal Dia-
mond lake, fifty miles from Fort klamath.
The skeletons we're found close to-
gether, wrapped in their blankets and
clothed. Their guns stood against a tree
near by. A small sum of money was
in one of the mems pockets, and a watch,
so that it seemed certain that they had
not been murdered and robbed. A dairy
and a postal card addressed to Burnes'
mother served to identity them. The
dairy was carried to Aug. 81, 1886. so the
men had been dead nearly three years.
But how they died will probably be one Of
the mysteries of the Diamond lake re-
gions.

THERE IS NO DEATH.

ftHe 10 No DEA n.
There is no deathl The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They hin forevermore.
There Is no DEATH The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain or mellow fruit
Or rainbow tinted flowers
The granite rocks disorganize
To feed the hungry moss they bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no DEATH The leaves may fall
The flowers fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming of the May.
There Is no deathi An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread;
he bears our best beloved things away.
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our heart all desolate;
He plucks our f~airest, sweetest flowers
Transplanted into bliss they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird like voice, whose Joyous tones
Made glad this scene of sin and strife,
Sings now her everlasting song
Amid the Tree of Life.
And when he sees a smile too bright
Or heart too pure for faint OF vice,
He bears to 1t that world OF light,
To dwell in Paradise.
Born into hat undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With joy we welcome them-the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundlexs universe
Is Life-there are no Dead
