TIE TEMPEST.

On reaching the scene of activity we soon
realized that there was much more than
steam. There was turbulent roar as CT
great waves dashing against each other, inn
mediately after which wave after wave swept
outward and drove us from the position we
had taken. Then there was a moments lull,
at which time we followed the receding
waves few yards to be driven back as soon
as the seething caldron had accumulated
fresh energy to hurl again its colliding waves
into the air and outward in a vast circular
sweep of over $50 yards.
AS the sun rose higher we got an occasional
glimpse of the great torrid waves that dashed
into each other and rose to the height of over
sixty feet or it might have been even twice
that height, as it was impossible to see how
far these waves assembled amid the dense
clouds that enveloped them, as mountain
peaks are often hidden in misty mantles of
gray.
"What terrific tempest" l exclaimed,
addressing Mrs. Amory, the lady who had
been the first to call attention to this new and
extraordinary gusher.
ut is tempest, indeed" she replied,
land, added Mrs Waters, "it could have no
more suitable name if you were to hunt the
encyclopedias for month"; And a1aid the
roar of the contending waves hurled from a
subterranean boiling sea, we concurred in
naming it the Tempest goyser,
Before leaving the Tempest | instituted
search for the twin lake tkat | had named
the Bats Wing geyser as long ago as 1888;
but it was nowhere TO be found The infer
ence to be drawn from all the facts is that it
had been buried by q process OF self sealing,
and that the subterranean gases at this and
other points were powerful enough when
their outlets are closed to cause an earth
quake and eliminate in just such exhibitions
of volcanic energy as that seen at the Hurri-
cafe and Whirlpool geysers in the Norris
basin, the Black volcano on the Yellowstone
river, the Excelsior. G., Hell's Half Acre

CONSUMPTION,

IN it's first stages, can Ibe successfully
checked by the prompt use of Ayers
Cherry Pectoral. Even in the later
periods of that disease, the cough is
wonderfully relieved by this medicine.
"I have used Ayers Cherry Pectoral
with the best effect in my practice.
This wonderful preparation once saved
my life. l had constant cough, night
sweats, was greatly reduced in flesh,
and given up by my physician. One
bottle and a half of the Pectoral cured
me."-A. j. Edison, M. D., Middleton,
Tennessee,
"Several years ago was severely i'll.
The doctors said / was in consumption,
and that they could do nothing for me,
but advised me, as a last resort, TO try
Ayers Cherry Pectoral. After taking
this medicine two or three months
was cured, and my health remains good
to the present day."-James Birchard,
Darien, Conn.

from California, by water, 1 contracted
so severe cold that for some days 1

Going over the hill, at Crow creek,

three slender Sarah Bernhard coyotes
came toward the train, looking wistfully

from the cold and pulseless remains.

The past week has been one of great
personal interest, although it has had
little effect on public affairs. / have
been visiting my old haunts In Colorado
and Wyoming, after about seven years
of absence. I have also been in Utah,
where spring has come in the rich valley
of the Jordan and the glossy blackbird,
with wing of flame, scoots gayly from
bough to bough, deity declaring his af-
fections right and left
One cannot shut his eyes TO the fact
that there is great real estate activity
this spring in the west It has taken the
place Of mining and stock, 1 Judge, and
everywhere you hear and see men with
their beads together plotting against the
poor rich man. Yesterday In Salt Lake
saw the sign, ''Drugs and Real Estate. /"
l presume it meant medicine and a
small residence lot in the cemetery.
In early days in Denver Henry G.
Brown. then in the full flush and vigor
of manhood, had some talk with the
agent of the Atchison stage line for a
ticket back to Atchison, as he was heart
broken and homesick. He had quarter
section of land, with heavy growth of
prairie dogs on it, and he had almost
persuaded the agent to swap him stage
ticket for this sage brush conservatory,
when he gently backed out of the trade.
Mr.. Brown then sat him down on the
sidewalk and cried bitterly.
Just tell this to show how easily some
men weep. Atchison is at present 80
dead that a good cowboy, with an able
mule, could tie TO its tail and, putting
his spurs to the mule, jerk loose the en-
tire peit at any time, while Browns addi-
ton to Denver is worth anywhere from
one and a half to two millions of dollars,
When Mr. Brown weeps now it is be-
cause his victuals are too rich and give
him the govt. He sold prairie dogs
enough to fence the land In SO that i,
could not blow into Cherry Creek vale,
snd then he set to work earnestly te

Ipecial ability In other directions, have
the greatest genius for doing such things,
whilst others, with greater genius in
other ways, do not make money in this
way.
A report got around some time ago that

This is partly true, only 1t was my wife
who speculated. She had never specu-
lated much before, though she had tried
other open air amusements. Soshe swap

for city lots in Minneapolis. employing a
man named Flinton Pansley to dc the
trading, look into the title and do the
square thing for her. He was real good
man, with heavenly aspirations and a
real sorrow IN his heart for the prevalence
of sin. Still this sorrow did not break in
on his business. Well, the business was
done by correspondence and Mr. Pansley
only charged a reasonable amount, she
giving him her new carriage to remuner-
ate him for his brain flag. What tho
other man paid him for disposing of the
lots do not know. I was away at the
time, and having no insect powder with
which to take his life, Ispared him to his

/ did send man over the lots, how
ever, when l returned. They were not
really in the city of Minneapolis; that is,
they were not near enough to worry any
body by the tumult of town. In fact
they were IN another county. You may
think am lying about this, but the lots
ere there, if you have any curiosity to
see them. They were not where they
were represented to be, and the machine
shops and gas works and court house
were quite long distance away.
You could cut some hay on these lots,
but not enough to pay the interest on
the mortgage. Frogs build their nests
there in the spring and rear their young,
but people never go there. Two years
ago Senator Washburn killed bear on
one Of these lots, but that is al they
have ever produced, except q slight

add that have the permission to use this
information, as the victim seems to think
there was something kind of amusing
about it. Some people think thing
funny which others can hardly get any
amusement out Of What 1 wonder at
is that he did not ask for the team when
he got the carriage.
Possibly he did not like the team.

Ing down the big river from VicksburE
to New Orleans, happened to strike
boat on which were half dozen profess
sional gamblers, says New York Sun
writer. There was q large number of
other passengers and a game was going
on in the cabin night and day. I hap
pened to fall in with two young men at
the start and incidentally learned that
they had been off on speculation
which turned out disastrously and were
returning home so close to dead broke
that they could only raise $40 hesween
them. On the second night one Of
them came into the game with his
money and in the course of an hour won
500. Then luck shifted and he was
cleaned out. AS his last dollar went

"Have you any thing to raise a stake
on?"
''Yes. Whar's my niggeraa was the
reply.
stEere, Mars John!' answered voice,
and young and likely" as it used to
be termed, negro boy about twenty
years old entered the cabin and bowed
very humbly.
"Thar's a niger who is worth 1900
in gold," said the young man. "How
much will you put against him3"
"Twelve hundred"

In just forty minutes the last dollar
was gone, luck and trickery being too
many for the young fellow, and as he
rose up the "banker" called out:
"Luck seems to hate some folks,

No one could answer, but a search for
him was at once instituted. Three OF
four men looked high and low, but he
could not be found, and it was finally
concluded that he had gone overheard.
There was great deal of ''cussing
around" but it didn't help matters any.
and all finally turned in for the night.
When I went to my state-room found
the washbowl full of black water, and a
strange coat and hat on the floor. was
wondering over these things when one
of the young men came in-the one who
had not played.

explained. 81 got into your room by

And all the rest of the way down tc

wondered whether he went right down
