Phil Armour. short, stocky, far from
attractive in any sense, but II singularly
happy man, who has managed to make
a big fortune. He cares little for money
now. but time was when the loss OF
500 nearly drove him mad. II was "A
good many years ago, in the days OF
gold on the Pacific slope. Armour was
one of the numberiess throng there
searching for fortune.
Fortune paid no heed to him, how
ever, but finally he managed to get
some ''washings" that he sold for 800.
This sum he carefully tied up in an old
cotton handkerchief for safe keeping.
Then he hunted around for n place to
put it. His eyes spied an old and
dilapidated coffee pot in a corner of the
cabin he occupied with three other
seekers for fortune. He put the 500
carefully in it and placedit lovingly on
O convenient shelf; then he went about
his daily toll. When he returned from
work his eye instinctively searched for
the old pot. 1t vas gone!
One Of his partners had tired of work
and come home. lie had nothing else
to do, SO he went To clean house. The
old coffee pot went with the rubbish,
and a fire was made of il all in a little
clump of bushes nea by. Great was
the CONSERVATION when Armour told
what the pot contained. And how
carefully he worked owe the fire to
rescue the pot. Finally he reached 1t,
blackened and bent. but the money
was intact. and no happier man slept

he carried il around with him in a belt

ArteSian Wells.

Artesian wells have been known for
mary years. but much so much interest
has been renewed in the subject by the
application ofDakota people to have the
general government assist in scheme OF
irrigation by means of these wells, that
our readers may like to have few items
regarding them. They derive their name
from the province Of Artois, France, the
Latin name of which was Artemisium.
There is in this province a well which
has yielded 800, 900 gallons per day for
more than 100 years. At LiIlers, France,
is we'll which has flowed steadily since
1126. At Grenelle is well 1900 feetdeep
which pours out half million gallons
per day, and as the water has a temper
AZURE of 81 degrees, it is used to heat
the hospitals of the place. The well at
Passy furnishes the enormous quantity
of five and a half million gallons in
each "a hours. In the United States
the chief wells are at st. Louis, 22OO
feet deep, and at Louisville, 1000 feet
deet. Some remarkable wells of this
character, with great flow Of water,
are at Prairie du CHEN, Wis, on the
line of ''The Burlington" They pos
sess remarkable curative powers for
for many diseases, and should be widely
known. For further information about
the wells, and how to reach them, adj

'The African Advocate" published at
Denver, COL, with J. N. Walker as
editor and business manager, has
reached our sanctum. It claims to be
all it's name implies, and advocates the
idea of Afro-Americans going to Africa
It says: "The advocates neither Dem
ocrat or Republican-it is AFRICAN to the
back bone." This is supposed to be a
free country, and any man has right to
think and speak as he pleases, and,
therefore, We welcome the Advocate to
our exchange list, but choose to differ
with our contemporary on the idea Of
Afro.Americans going to Africa to seek
homes in preference to any other coun-
try. There is nothing to make one de-
sire to go to that Ozark Continent" un-
less, forsooth, he can publish a book
about it and get $75o,oo0 for the copy
right, as Stanley has done.
