The bill for national bankrupt law
is the next one to be disposed Of BY the
House. It will be voted upon Wednes-
day afternoon, and from opinions ex-
pressed by prominent members it is
safe to say that the bill will be passed.
Il is extremely difficult to frame law
Of this kind that will give satisfaction
to all classes, but everybody seems to
agree that some sort Of general law
is necessary on this subject, something
that will protect the interest Of the
honest creditor and debtor.

Mr.. Blaine reciprocity idea is not
seemingly making much headway
among the Senators Of his party; not
because it is not good idea, but be-
cause Of political and other reasons.
However, if my information is correct,
and I think it Is, Mr.. Blaine will have
an inning when the Behring's Sea cor
respondence with Great Britain goes
to the Senate, which will probably be
this week, that will console him some

The House to-day passed the 'origin-
al package" bill, after debate which
brought out the fact that the question
of estates rights" is as live now as it
was in the days of Calhoun, and if the
vote upon this measure be taken as a
test, the States rights men are in a
majority in the House; but it is pro-
bable that prohibition influences caus'
ed many to vote for this bill who are
generally speaking opposed to anything
which even squints toward states rights

. Csc book Of about $50 pages issued
by the Free Thought Publishing c.,
60 Duane St, N. Y, and written by
G. W. Bartlett, formerly Of Dodge

does, all religions; and claiming to
trace their origin back into the myths
of antiquity.

Legislation in appropriation bills is,
generally speaking, not to be commend
ed; but there is paragraph in the
General Deficiency bill, just reported
to the House, that most observant
people would like to see become law.
It provides 'sThat hereafter the Sec
Rotary of the Treasury shall include In
his annual report the revenues from
and expenditures on account Of the
postal service Should this become
a Law, the Secretary's annual report
would, as it should, present in one

ing the slanting, rosy red shafts of light
that streamed through the intervals in
the Venetian blinds. docs it augur

the questions that crowded through his
brain. Today-today she was to ''be
down for little while in the afternoon"
and then she chopped to be able to thank
him. Could she?" Ten thousand times
over and over again she could, if she
would but whisper one little word-Yes

lacked hours yet until that longed for
afternoon could come. 1t was not 5
o'clock; but more sleep was out of the
question, and lying there in bed intoler-
able. Much to the surprise of his darby
valet, Lane had had his bath, dressed
and disappeared by the time the former
came to rouse him.
Noel was late in reaching the rendez-
vous. 1t was after 10 when he appeared,
explaining that Mrs Withers was far
from well, and therefore Cousin Amos
would not leave the house until the doc
tor had seen her and made his report.
Lane received his explanation somewhat
coldly and suggested that they go right
to work with their papers, as he had i'm
portant engagements. 1t was high noon
when they finished the matters in hand
and then the captain fastened to the
club and was handed telegram with
the information that it had only just
come. 1t was evidently expected. Lane
quickly read it and carefully slowed it
away in an inside pocket. In another
moment he was speeding down town, and
by half past 10 was closeted with the
junior partner Of the lettering house of
Vincent, Clark & Co. Mr.. Clark was
pale and nervous. Every click of the
''ticker" seemed to make him start. A
clerk stood at the instrument watching
the rapidly dotted quotations.

In 1875, on the 18th of January there,
was a second avalanche at the same
place, which killed two men and buried
a woman and child. The woman and
the child were, however, dug out OF
the snow uninjured. The woman was
protected by portion of her wrecked
hOme-a frame structure.
The house was swept from its founda.
ton in such a way as to leave the lower
floor intact. The woman was first
rescued. She at once began to cry out
for her child of which nothing was to

All in that direction appeared to be

faint cries of child were heard, but

Carried Water in q Skull.

That is terrible story coming FROM
North Queensland about a man who
was lost in the bush. He used up all
his water and then dropped his billy"
in the agony of his thirst. By and by,
fortunately, he came to a water-hole
where he slaked his thirst and found
the road again. He had still some thir-
ty miles to go, however, and he had
nothing whatever to carry water in
OF course it would be madness to at
tempt to travel thirty miles on foot
under North Queensland sun without
any water, so his ready invention came
to his aid. He had been Mortified a
short distance back by the skeleton of
a man who had evidently been dead
several years. He went back and got
the skull, plugged up the eyeholes with
clay, and filled it with water He then
tramped that thirty miles on the water
contained in the skull. Can any novel
