Extracts from the first number OF the
Kingfsher (Oklahoma) Boomer:
'sRafe Thimblerigger paid us pleasant
visit yesterday and told us that he had
Just won fine quarter section at a shoot
ing match with tenderfoot. He paid
the funeral expenses himself. Rafe is a
gentleman. l."
'sWe learn that the seven new towns
started west of this place overlap each
other very seriously. One man from
Illinois lives in three of the towns at once
and is running for Mayor of all of them"
ssCoroner Goosefelter Is so far behind
in his work that he requests US to inform
his patrons that he is doing the best he
can. His friends will oblige him by not
making efforts to increase his business at
this time.n
''Jim Triggers called on us yesterday
and traded US a nickel-plated derringer
for a years subscription to the Boomer.
He got the derringer from man who
died suddenly after calling jim horse
thief. Come again, jim"
s'The new cemetery south of town is
meeting with general favor"
s'If any reader of the Boomer sees any
thing that he doesn't like in this paper
we will gladly take it back in our next
issue. - Chicago Nel1s.

The Sacred Beetle of the Nile.

As is well known, the scarabaus, or
beetle, was worshiped by the ancient
Egyptians, and was considered sacred to
various deities. It was represented on
monuments, in hieroglyphic writing, and
engraved on royal escutcheons.
The sacred beetle of the Nile performs
most arduous task to protect its eggs.
1t beStows its care upon one egg at a
time, but their care is constant until the
egg is protected. AS soon as it has laid
an egg, it places it in some soft substance
and then forms it into a regular ball
which itrolls about in every direction on
the soft sand, until it has become smooth,
round and hard. When the ball is COM
pleted, the beetle pushes it into a hole
which has been dug for the purpose, and
leaves the egg to its fate.
Earthen images of it, as well as of other
animal forms, were entombed along with
mummies to keep evil spirits from the
dead. Its figure was cut up gems and
worn in jewelry as a talismen to keep
the wearer from harm. The insect was
embalmed after death and given honor
able burial. Engraven on the emerald,
the scarabeus was remedy against
witchcraft and headache, and quite likely
also to bring its possessor into favor with
the King. They also set them in the
curls of their hair, where they give most
fairY-hke aspect to their heads, and'shine
IKE resple1dent jewels.-SUnbsdm

cut in The imperishable rock. So across the
face OF this nation there have been & great
many names written across our finances.
across our religions, names worthy
OIL remembrance, names written on the
architecture of our churches, and our
schools, and our asyiums, and our homes
Of mercy, but God is the architect of this
continent, and he was the Sculptor Of all its
grandeurs, and long after, through the wash
OF the ages and the tempests of G INJURIES. ali
other names shall be Obliterated, the Divine
signature and Divine name will be brighter
and brighter as the millenniums go by, and
the world shall see that the God who made
this continent has redeemed it by His grace
from all Its SORROWS and from all its crimes.
Have you faith in such a thing as that
After all the chariots have been unwheeled,
and after all the war chargers have been
crippled. the chariots which Elisha saw on
the morning of his peril will roll on in tri-
umph, followed by all the armies of heaven
on white horses God could do it without US
hut He will not. The weakest of us, the
faintest of US, the smallest Drained of US,
shall have part in the triumph We may
not have our name, like the name of Sos
tratus, cut in imperishahle rock and conspic-
uous for centuries but we shall be remem-
bered In better place than that, even in the
heart OF Him who came 10 redeem us and re-
deem the world and our names will be seen
to-day he throws out His arms toward Us He
says; Behold, l have craven thee on the
palms on My hand.n By the mightiest of all
agencies, the potency of prayer, beg you
seek our national welfare.
Some time ago there were 4, 100000 letters
in the dead letter postofice at Washing ton
letters that lost their way-but not one
prayer ever directed to the heart of God mis-
carried. The way is all clear for the ascent
of your supplications heavenward in behalf
Of this nation. Before the postal communi-
cation was so easy, and long ago, on a rock
one hundred feet high on the coast of Eng
land, there was a barrel fastened to a post,
and in great letters on the side Of the rock, so
it could be seen far out at sea, were the
words: '.Postofice;n and when ships came by,
boat put out TO take and fetch letters. And
50 sacred were those deposits of affection in
that barrel that no lock was ever put upon
that barrel, although it contained messages
for Amesica. and Europe, and Asia, and
Africa, and al the islands of thesea. Many
a storm tossed sailor, honesick, got message
of kindness by that rock, and many home
stead heard good news from boy long gone.
Would that all the heights of our national
prosperity were in interchange of sympathies
prayers going up meeting blessings coming
down. Postal celestial, not by a storm struck
rock on a wintry coast, but by the Rock Of
Ages.

JaDanese Kindness.

A picture of japanese life drawn by
Professor Morse shows such a pleasant re-
lation existing between the human and
the brute creation that no Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is
needed:
Birds build their nests in the city
houses, wild fowl, geese and ducks
alight in the public parks, wild deer trot
about the street. He had actually been
followed by wild deer in the streets, nib
bling melon rind out of his hand, as tame
as calves and lambs on our Michigan
farms. A dog goes to sleep in the busiest
streets: men turn aside so as not to dis
turb him. One day a beautiful heron
alighted on the limb of a tree, and the
busy, jostling throng stopped. Every
mans hand went into his pocket, Just as
they would with US, but instead of bring
ing out "popper," out came pencil and
sketching paper.

CROSS AND GROWN.

There is a cross Of heavy W light
For ev'ry human life to bear,
There Is a chaplet formed of thorns
For each and ev'ry brow TO wear;
Oh when the eros, of pain and woe
Shall soon forever be laid down,
May we receive, in recompense,
A beautiful and fadeless crown.
A cross Of toll and worldly grief
A burden of suspense and care
Has life imposed upon Us all,
And each its heavy load must bear;
The clouds may lower overhead
The bright stars fade before our eyes
Yet Faith shall point Us out the path
Where Sacrifice-where Duty lies.
A crown awaits each faithful heart
Each earnest self-Cieaying soul
That carries cheerfully the cross
To deaths cold, unrelenting goal;
And when the veil shall roll away,
Disclosing heavens endless bliss
The crown of Love shall compensate
For cross OF such life as this.

EXPENSIVE uNpERc1orurNa.

A woman who wants to be extravagaht
can walk into any of the largest of the
Sixth avenue stores and buy a $3.50 suit
of Undertaking from the stock on the
shelves. She can even make her choice
between a number of different STYLES of
suits of that price When it comes to
the cheaper sorts of goods, suits that sell
for from $125 to $175, there are scores
of different STYLES from which she can
select. There are whole shelves filed
with boxes containing nothing but these
goods, for which it would seem that
there could be no demand. The head
of such department in one of the stores
said the other days eyes, you would
think the women who could afford to
have that sort of Undertaking would
have it made to order, so as to be sure
of getting something different from what
anybody could buy, but they don't. We
have scores of regular customers for the
most expensive underwear that we can
make up,AaAd thew make their choiS'
right from our stock. suppose the
think that the price is guarantee enough
that the goods are not likely to be verr
common. Another thing about it is that
it would be very hard to get such fiie
work IS there is upon these garments
by having them made to order. Even
if we took an order ourselves we should
have to send to Paris to get it fIl,d,
and that would be too much delay. TIRE
would be scarcely more work on a gar
ment entirely of lace than upon soms of
these high-priced ones that we sell. An
the sewing upon them is as finely done as
though it were embroidery You cannot
tell where the linen leaves off and the kce
trimming begins, so neatly is the work
done. Then there is good deal ofreal
embroidery on them besides, and thelace
has to be made specially for the gar

something quite striking to attract a Sec

aSpanish cedar, in west virginia.

Says the Philadelphia Inquirer A tall
man walking down Chestnut street
laughingly responded to the inquiry of a
friend as to what he was doing:
"Sawing Spanish cedar boards in West
Virginia for cigar box makers"
To the remark that no Spanish cedar
grew in West Virginia he replied; "And
not enough anywhere else for the de-
mand. We saw up poplar logs into the
thin boards, and the cigarmakers dye
them brown with cedar extract that gives
the boxes proper color and odor." The
logs are sawn with ribbon saws that
make little sawdust to waste. Nearly all
boxes used by American cigarmakers are
made from this wood.
