A west Virginia Diana.

The most celebrated hunters OF this
section are Bob Eastman, julie Baker.
woman. and Louis Chidester.
There is law TO protect deer, but it is
not observed. Ont OF season venison
is called mountain mutton. julie
Baker is the wis Of John Baker, and
lives near the mouth of Black Water
Fork. She can handle Winchester
with the dexterity and precision OF
Old Leatherstocking, and hundreds oi
deer and bears have fallen victims to
the unerring bullets from here rife.
Bob Eastman says he saw her plung-
ing down the mountain side through
six inches of snow one day, with two
rifles and a bear trap strapped TO her
back, and followed by six dogs. She
ran three miles TO point where she
thought deer in full chase would
cross, and she got there in time to see
her husband kill him. She is big
black-haired woman, very industrious,
with heart as large as her foot, and
she is the mother OF seven children.
She is not pretty. A few months ago,
for a silver dollar she carried q valise
weighing over one hundred pounds
seven miles for an engineer. 1t is
said that on one occasion she carried
a sewing machine from Grafton to her
home, a distance OF 60 miles.-Balti-

The Way the Interstate Law Work O.


Is the Interstate Commerce Law be-
ing observed? Not to any alarming
extent. Go around to some superin-
tendent and ask for a pass and he
will spring the Interstate Commerce
Law on you. Go to the contracting
agent or the general freight agent,
and, if you work in the right way, you
will see that the law is evaded with
impunity. don't mean by that all
roads are engaged in this sort OF busi-
ness, but many of them are. For in.
stance, the law forbids the payment ol
rebates on freight. A contracting
agent goes to q shipper and says
"See here, l understand that you
have so carloads of freight to ship tc
such and such a point within the next
80 days. Now, pll bet you IS a cal
you don't send it over our line." The
bet is made, the goods are sent ovei
that line, the agent OF the company
loses his bet, and the amount is de
Quoted from the shippers bill fol
freight charges. The law forbids pay
ing rebates, but it says nothing about
making bets. Then if an Influential
party wants q pass, the genera
passenger agent may say: "Sit dowr
and let me dictate a short letter Il
you" This is done, and on the
strength of such service pass il
made out to the party as an employs
of the road.-Cleveland Plaindealer.

Not long ago the Rev. DIR. Smith,

A Fable of Gotham .

A poorly clad man with red nose
stood before the window OF a Bible
store and perused with eager interest
an open Bible displayed therein.
When he had read the two pages he
exclaimed in q loud voice: Would
l had the courage to go in and ask the
proprietor to turn the page SO that i
might continue the reading of the
Word" The proprietor, who was
standing at the door, heard him and
said: "Come in, my good man, and
l will give you a copy of the Bible" +"
Heaven bless you for this" said the
man, as he went out with a Bible
worth 81 so net. And then when he
turned the corner he exclaimed to him
self: "Billy, old boy, the racket is a
good one; kin sell this for enough TO
git three square drinks. Hoorayp and
he at once hied him to secondhand
bookstore in the neighborhood. in
order to make q dicker. This fable
teaches us that red-nosed man does
not always get the right spiritual COM
fort out Of the Bible.-N. Y. Tribune.

A HEmOIC COURSE.
The straits 60 which . Young
Married Man OF BOSTON was Put.

heard the other day an authentic
story of something that happened here
in Boston, which recalls an incident
in one OF Balzac's novels and tends to
support the old saying about truth
and fiction. 1t seems that the wife Of
n young man who has little house oil
his own somewhere in the outlying
districts. but whose salary is very
small. fell III, and was unable TO leave
her room for several months. The
doctor, as very often happens, pre-
scribed for her great many remedies,
tonics aud beverages, such as Appol-
inaris water and champagne, which,
being very expensive, were far beyond
the young husbands means. What
could be done7 He was bound that
his wife should have everything
which the doctor ordered, and, his
purse having been emptied, he stole
out one evening with the parlor clock
under his arm and returned with a IS
bill. A large easy-chair was expended
two days later for few bottles OF port
wine, and TO cut the story short, by the
time the young woman was able to go
downstairs, the rooms on the first floor
had been stripped OF their contents to
pay the grocer and apothecary.
II must have been bitter moment
for the poor young wife when she first
saw what havoc had been wrought in
her drawing-room, and / dare say
that for few minutes at least her good
man felt that he had been too clever
by half. II must be acknowledged,
however, that he acted pretty wisely.
Health is more important than fur
niture, and in time the household
goods viii be replaced. The plan
which this enterpising fellow pursued
was surely better than helping him
self out OF his masters cash-box, and
perhaps it was preferable to the
ordinary course OF running in debt;
certainly it was more original.-Bos-

day and went away, as BARRIERS always

they have filled every crevice in a

intermission proved interesting, how
ever. The barber was boss OF the

lowed the meeting between the two:

The weather is dry, sunny and
pleasant in the day time, but cold and
frosty nights.
The Keystone Company shipped
this week, through Wells, Fargo &
Co. 8 express, two bars Of bullion, val
ued at 5000, which was worked in
the Ely mill.
The Martin White Company has
levied an assessment OF 25 cents per
share on the capital stock of the COM
pany, which becomes delinquent on
March 6.
From Carson we get the informa-
tion that in case the Constitutional
amendments are ratified by the people
new county governments for each
county will be formed.
There is something wrong some
where with our mails, when it takes
two weeks for a letter to reach here
from Carson. The fault is not with
the stages for they come and go on
time.
G. w. Keeney, OF the Star mine al
Cherry Creek, has returned from San

that a strong company will be formed

The novelty in slang for the new
year is the word "skate," as applied
to drinking. When man was tipsy
last yaer the rule was to say that "he
had a jag on" but hereafter the
phrase is TO be d" he's got skate. +"
Presumably the idea at the bottom of
the new slang word is that a tipsy

pavement like person skating. But
however that may be. skate is what

was driving home with his wife and
child In the wagon and leading a
COW that he had just purchased.
When within one mile of home II
began raining. The cow would no,
lead, aud not being able to manage
the team, his wife got out to drive
the COW. She had no sooner got ou,
when Mr.. Hiser was struck by light
ming and fell out on the ground dead
The team started, and, after run

There was three murders within
ten days prior to last Sunday in Den
yer. In accounting for the frequency
of murder in that city the Denyer
Times says:
The Criminal Court records are
tull of verdiots of not guilty upon
charges of mnrder and other forms
of unlawful killing. Is there not
here the relation of cause and effect?
Is not killing so common because
juries have made it so safe? Is not
murderous passion SO readily in
dulged because it is. SO slightly re.
strained by fear of punishment?
When men are made to feel that to
murder will bring them within the
awful shadow of the gallows, they
will do little numbering. As it is
now person incurs greater danger
of punishment in stealing pair of
shoes than he does in Staying fell
low man. As long as this remains
true the killing will continue.

Full Of Water, The Head
Gate Opened Sunday.

About three months ago number
of farmers west of town and few
Lamar men decided on taking out a
ditch for their own use. After agree
ing on their plans David ZImerman
was employed to survey the route
and report the amount of work nee
essary to run water over the proposed
line, on bis report work was begun,
arrangements were made with the
Prowers estate to take the ditch out
near the station and cross their lands.
1t was to be private enterprise, the
men that wanted the water was to do
the work. 1t was to take work and
but little money and as work and not
money was to be the capital they
named the ditch the Bed Rock. Last
Saturday evening the ditch was COM
pleted as far as Mr.. S. Harrel's farm
mile and half west of town. Sun
day morning about fifty gentlemen
and ladies drove up to Prowers to
see the water turned on, the head
gate is a foot and q half lower than
the bed of the river and when the
head gate let the water on it came
down the ditch with a rush, and
FIVE hours run proved the grade
and the work to be right, there
was not break or anything wrong,
SO as matter of course there was
great rejoicing. Mrs. Capt. Smith
entertained the entire party at dinner
a meal greatly enjoyed and long to
be remem bered as the ride had given
her guests keen appetite and her
dinner was most tempting with the
substaptials of life. Capt. Smith had
put his lateral boxes in, SO when the
water reached his farm irrigation
commenced. The ditch will be COM
pleted to E. W. Fuller's farm adioin-
ing town on the north next week and
will then be little over ten miles
long, they have a large reservoir in
the Box pasture that will be kept full
of water. The enterprise is grand
success, and G. W. Butler, W. o.
Butler, Leo Jansen, c. B. Tboman,
j. A. Woodcock. Geo. Hunter, E.
w. Fuller, S. Harrel, Capt. Smith
and other gentlemen who are inter-
ested have every reason to be proud
of their undertaking and are to be
congratulated over the perfection of |
the Bed Rock ditch.
