Sick Ever Since.

When Charles Foster was governor of Ohio
he was overwhelmed with begging letters, the
incentive being the remarkable statement sent
out concerning his vast wealth and his un-
bounded generosity. Among the letters he
received was one which has constituted a
standing joke among his friends, who
never cease TO rally him about il. 1t was
from woman who wanted sewing ma
chine, and her letter began thus:
Gov. Foster-Dcar Sir :-Ayear ago you
came to our town TO make speech. | went
out to hear you and have been sick ever
since"
The fact was the lady caught a cold on
the occasion, but she did not refer to the
matter in diplomatic language.

hanged you are no relation ofmine."

An AFFECTING POEM

Richard f. Burton is the author OF the poem,
The City OF the Dead" 1t is as follows:
They 90 neither plight nor wed
In the city OF the dead.
In the city where they sleep away the hours;
liut they lie. while DER them range
Winter blight and summer change
And hundred happy whisperngs of flowers.
No, they neither wed nor plight,
And the day is like the night,
For their vision is of other kind than ours.
They do neither sing nor sigh
In the burg of by and by.
W mere the streets nave grasses growing cool
and long;
But they rest within their bed,
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid,
Deeming silence better far than sob or song
No, they neither sigh nor sing
Though the robin be awning,
Though the leaves OF autumn march million
strong.
There is only rest and peace
In the city of surcease
From the failiugs and the wailings meath the
sun;
And the wings of the swift years
Beat but gently DER the biers,
Making music to tho sleepers. every one.
There is only peace and rcst
But to them it scemeth hest,
For they lie at ease, and know that life is done.

enraged father TO son who had given him
just cause OF offence; "were 1t not that these
gentlemen are present l would give you
sound whipping, but you shall have it before
breakfast tomorrow, certain" The little
rebel went to his crib with heavy heart, and
the enjoyments of the party continued untila
late hour. Just when the party was about
to break up, the closet door was quietly pull
ed back and the young offender put out his
head, requesting that the sentence might be
put into execution. "Father, would We just

Odd Way OF Cooking COOife.

A mortar mixer at the new hotel was OBJ
served to be heating his kettle of coffee in
way which was no novelty to him but seemed
strange to reporter. He dug a hole in
pile of sand, placed lump of lime in 1t,
sprinkled some water on the lime, placed his
kettle on It, and banked sand up around it.
When 10 o'clock struck he shouted "Come
to tay; your coffec's bilin'."

Mr.. and Mrs.

In earlier times the ordinary man was
simply William or John; that is to say,
he had merely - Christian name without
any kind of n "handlc" before it or surname
after it. Some means of distinguishing one
John or one William from another John or
William became necessary.
Nicknames derived from mans trade or
his dwelling place. or for some personal pecus
liarity, were tackled on TO their Christian
names, and plain John became John Smith.
AS yet there were no minister's" in the land.
Some John Smith accumulated more wealth
than the bulk of his fe0ws-becamc, per-
haps, landed proprietor or an employer of
hired labor. Then he began to be called in the
Norman French of the day the "maistre" of
this place or of that, of these workmen or of
those.
In time the "mastre" or "maister," as it
soon became, got tackled on before his name,
and it soon became Master Smith, and his
wife was Mastress Smith. But gradually
the sense of possession was lost sight OF, and
the title was conferred upon any kind, by
mere possession of wealth or by holding some
position gilmore or less consideration and i'm.

Union Pacific Mining Operations.

~ f's
Judging by the preparations they are
making, the Union Pacific intend TO
largely increase their output OF coal next
winter. The new mine at Dana is being
rapidly pushed forward and is o in a
depth of over 400 feet. The company is
much pleased over the quality of the coal.
A pump has been put in to keep the mine
clear of water and a number of new build
ings are in course Of construction. The
force has been increased and work is pros.
ecuted night and day, the force being
divided into three shifts.
At the Hanna mines in the Chimney
Springs basin three openings have been
made and plans for three dumps rave been
forwarded from the engineer office here.
1t was expected that work on the Carbon
cutoff road would be commenced this
week. This road leaves tie main track
near Medicine Bow and is carried Is
miles to the Hanna mines. 1t will prob
ably be only a spur line for some time as
there are serious engineering difficulties
in the way of making a western connec-
ton with the main line.
Rapid progress is being made on the
new dumps for No. | mine here. The
battery of six new boilers is being placed
in position and the four new scales are
nearly in shape. The big hosting en-
gines have arrived and the large drums
are expected every day. Some idea OF
their size may be gathered from the fact
that the shaft upon which the drums
turn weighs Is tons.

A Political CanIdron.


AhAhAAAAO va
If Cheyenne is not a hotbed of politi-
clans, it amt anything. We spent a day
there last week and learned that there
are several aspiranbs Tor every Office in the
territory within the gift of the admins
tration, aud petitions are being industri-
ously circulated to secure them. The
Cheyenne people don't approve of this
policy, and every aspirant thinks every
other aspirant but himself ought to stand
back and give the rest of the territory a
chance. Cheyenne has the representa-
tive in congress and expects, of cocrse,
to have the governor, and, further, they
demand the right to say what Cheyenne
man shall be governor and consider it a
great piece of impertinence that anybody
else, in any part of the territory, should
have presumption to entertain any upin-
ion. or express any preference. upon the
subject.
