Hour, n YpaY,s Work.

CHEYENNE. WYoMtsG, Sept 26.--The con-
stitptlonal convention has settled the ques-
ton of taxation which has aroused eonsid,

legislature to fix y royalty upon the coal
tonnage. A limitation OF four mills on the
dollar Is placed upon taxation for state pur-
poses except In case OF school and public
charities and for the payment OF state In
debtedness and interest. $780,.
Counties are not permitted to levy more
than than 10 miles except In payment Of
debts incurred previous to the adoption oil
the constitution. Cities and towns are
limited TO miles. Public moneys must be
deposited Ia national banks and Interest
must go to the state.
A provision was adopted making hours
legal days work. The convention will
furnish Its labors this week.

with his skeleton fingers, her love
CLEANS around that soul with an angel
smile. Time cannot mar its brilliancy;
distance but strengthens its influence;
it follows the prisoner into the darkest
cell, and in the silence of midnight it
plays around his heart, and in his
dreams he folds to his bosom the form
of her who loves him still, though the
world has turned coldly from him. The
couch made by the hand of a loved one
is softer to the wearied limbs of the
sick sufferer, and the potion admins
tered tenderly by the same had loses
half it's bitterness. The pillow care
fully adjusted by her brings repose to
the fevered brain, and her words of
kind encouragement sustain the sink
ing spirit. It does seem that God,
compassionating woman's first error,
has planted jewel in her breast,
heaven-like influence that casts into
forgetfulness remembrance of the
fall, by building up in hearts of men
another Eden, where perpetual flowers
ever bloom and crystal waters flow
from exhaustless fountains.

A ShreWd PrOphecy.

Before leaving Ireland, must men,
ton that, being DESTROYS of seeing the
principal patriots there, I stayed until
the opening of their parliament. I
found them disposed to be friends of
America, in which endeavored to con-
firm them, with the expectation that
our growing weight might in time be
thrown into the scale, and by joining
our interests with others, more equit-
able treatment from this nation eng
land) might be obtained for them as
well as for us. There are many brave
spirits among them. Their
parliament makes good, respectable
figure, with number of very good
speakers in both parties, and able men
of business.-Letter By Benjamin

A Pen Portrait of Boulanger.

When / entered he was sitting at O
long table covered with books and pa
pers, but he Immediately arose, came
forward with a pleasant @bon jour"
and hearty grasp OF the hand, and
led me to seat. 1t was the first time
l had seen him, and I observed with
some surprise that he was not in the
least like the published portraits that
are to be seen in every part of Paris.
He has nothing of the dapper look of
the photographs and engravings. His
hair is not dark and nicely combed as
you see it in the pictures in little, :"
but it is iron gray, and it stands
cropped" and erect. His beard, too,
is tawny and slightly mixed with gray.
In physique he is of middle height,
well filled, and neither stout nor slen-
der, He has stronger face and more
intellectual head than the popular por-
traits credit him withal, and the lines
in his face are distinctly marked -
there is quite a deep line running
across his forehead His eyes are keen
and gray. His coat was semi military
in cut, but not in color, for, like his
trousers, it was kind Of yellowy
brown. Paris letter.

Cold Winters OF Long Ago.

In 401 the Black Sea was entirely
frozen over. In 1853 not only the
Black Sea but the Straits of Darda-
nellie were frozen over, the snow in
some places rising fifty feet high In
822 the great rivers of Europe, the
Danube, the Elbe, ETC., were so hard
frozen as to bear heavy wagons for a
month. In $50 the Adriatic was frozen.
In 991 everything was frozen, the
crops totally failed, and famine and
pestilence closed the year. In 1907
most of the travellers in Germany were
frozen to death ON the roads. In 1884
the Pc was frozen from Cremona to the
sea, the wine sacks were burst and the
trees split by the action of the frost,
with immense noise. In 1886 the Dan
ube was frozen to the bottom and re-
manned long in that state. In 1916 the
crops wholly failed in Germany.
Wheat, which some years before sold
in England at 6s the quarter, rose to
G2. In 1908 the crops failed in Scot
land, and such famine ensued that the
poor were reduced to feed on grass,
and many persisted miserably in the
fields. In 1868 the wine distributed to
the soldiers was cut with hatchets.
The successive winters of 1924 were
uncommonly severe. In 1868 it was
excessively cold. Most of the hollies
were killed. Coaches drove along the
Thames, the ice. of which was eleven
inches thick. In 1903 occurred the
coolest weather; the frost penetrated
the earth three yards into the ground.
In 1716 booths were erected ON the
Thames. In 1744 and 1745 the strong
est ale in England, exposed to the air,
was covered in less than fifteen min
ntes with ice an eighth of an inch
thick. In 1903 and in 1912 the win
ters were remarkably cold. In 1914
there was fair on the frozen Thames.

TO our cnaleU. Here we hliEueSu. 1hc
chalet is kept by native American,
and after our long journey from Buff
falo it was good to once more hear the
music of our own language. Hastily
eating light lunch we put on our top
coats, and in charge of John Darn
we proceeded by diligence toward the
Falls via the American side.
The storm now burst upon us in all
it's fury, and the rain descended in the
widest profusion, saturating the Falls
and rendering them well-nigh i'm
passable. Our muleteer covered him
self with his pontoon, wrapped his tar
paulin around his ears, and while our
slender diligence swayed in the blast
he drove us across to Goat Island.
The thunder Of the immense volume of
water was now swallowed up by the
mighty roar of the bursting tempest,
and then as it died away like the wall
of a perishing soul one would again
hear the sullen thunder of the Falls.
We now began the descent on the
side of Goat Island looking toward the
Great Horseshoe Fall. The rain fell
in torrents, and as our umbrellas had
been turned wrong side out by the
blast we were soon wet to the skin.
There we stood in the presence of the
greatest spectacle America can pro-
duce, perhaps, outside Of Congress.
Like an egotistical author Niagara for
centuries has been pouring over her
own works. 1t is really, however, be-
yond criticism. / went there thinking
that if the Falls really deserved scath-
ing / would seattle them through the
press and inquire their business, but 1
must say that, like Mr.. Booth, they
deserve their great success, and 1 do
not blame them for respecting them
selves, and having their pictures taken
every little while, and getting their
names in the papers. They deserve
all the glory they have got, and far be
it from me to put straw in the way of
the progress of Niagara Falls.
We next went down to the Whirl-
pool, and on the way detachment of
John Darms escorted us with an air of
suspicion. Our drosky driver evil
IDENTIFY watched us every moment like
a cat. At the Whirlpool we alighted
again, being narrowly watched by the
driver and John Darn from Cohoes.
Here, as we reached the brink of
the cliff, the blizzard struck us amid
ship; the great Niagara, which has
assisted so many temperance lecturers
in soaring to death the moderate
drinker, seemed to become silent in
the presence of Mr. Blizzard from the
wild and unkempt West. just then
NV hiub sill, hat which 7 woar in
ascending the Alps and doing the tour
ist act generally, went up into a large
blue hole in the sky; and while 1 was
watching it the square red remarks,
Keep off the grass" with an iron rod
on one side, swatted me across the
stomach.
The storm was now at its height, the
roof of the hotel gently lifted with the
breeze, and through the fast falling
rain we could see surprised gentle
man in his room just emerging through
the neckband of q bright new shirt.

A Postal Card Well Filled.

When some antiquarian of the future
reports that citizen of Belfast wrote
on a postal card the whole of one of
the annual messages of President
Cleveland the inference will be that
President Cleveland was man of few
words, but the inference will be wrong.
The message contained $1,000 words,
yet Mr.. Ria Kittredge got it all on
the card with steel pen and ink, each
letter, as seen through microscope,
being beautifully formed. Moreover,
a border three-eighths of an inch wide
is placed around the card, represent
ing a string of beads, fifty-two in num-
Der, each three-sixteenths of an inch
in diameter, and most of them contain
ing the Lords Prayer; 1000
words are put into this border. Mr..

With look of wonder and horror he
tried to pull down the roof again and
conceal himself, but he could not do so.
The storm now took off it's coat and
sh1ieked while the Whirlpool was
dashed to its greatest fury and at the
Whirlpool Bazaar genuine Indian moe
casins made in Connecticut went down

ward the brink of the precipice, in
tending to peer down over it into the
boiling waters, when l felt the grasp
of John Darn on my shoulder and /
jerked back with IN oath which would
have sworn in whole precinct of nom
residents at Presidential election.
"Monsieur fool heemself," said the
John Darn, in pure Buffalo French,
with slight patois of the Rue
de Main street. Then grinding his
teeth, he managed to make me under
stand that had stated in Buffalo that
II was going over the Falls and
through the Whirlpool" but that a
nemesis was on my trail. 1t is dis
agreeable to have your trail stepped on
by nemesis, and SO | explained that
/ meant to be fgurative, and so when
the John Darn had opened my over
coat and found that | was not dressed
in tights with double-leaded bridge
jumping shoes he allowed me to pass.
It was here at the bazaar that met

with Connecticut in the manufacture

to Niagara Falls for them. We also
get most of our ornamental beadwork
done in England, and our ornamental
massacre business is done there. too.
The white man has facilities which we
do not have, and SO the red mans
goose is practically cooked. We can
buy arrow heads cheaper than we can
make them, and why should we toll

enough to last us year? We have in
our tribe favored free trade, and SO
we, with our infant industries, are
thrown into direct competition with
the relicmakers of the Bowery. You
