CHAPTER ".
A FOOL AND MS MONEY,

Drane had occasionally reflected upon
the possibility Of such q misfortune as
had overtaken him, though he had
never carried his imaginings to the
point which the actualities OF the case
had reached. Ho had supposed In o
general way that there were plenty Of
things to be dono by man in such o
position, but when he ran over the list
In his mind ho realized that every
course OF action involved painful hu-
initiation. He knew that there were
many charitable organizations which
sometimes assisted the distressed,
and at other times distressed the
assisted; but he could not re-
member tho names or addresses
OF any Of them, with the single excep-
tion Of the Society for the Prevention
OF Cruelty to Animals. 1t hadn't come
to that yet, he thought, but there was
no telling when 1t would. He had gone
to sleep q gentleman and had walked
up tramp; an equal drop in the next
twenty-four hours might make him
chimpanzeo or COW
The thought was not pleasant, and It
aroused Drane to desperation. Either
that or his hunger stimulated his men,
ory, for he suddenly recalled the fact
that q gentleman with whom no had
had some dealings by letter was in busi-
ness on Murray street. He asked q
policeman Where that was and tho ra
ply fairly staggered him. 1t was miles
away. He felt that he should fall dead
u hunger before he covered half the
distance.
He leaned against a lamp-post In ut
,er WEAKNESS, and closed his eyes.
Then he heard woman's voice behind
lin, saying: 81 hoped that you would
'ome TO see Mrs. Bowers, and have
waited to thank you again for what you

HABITS OF BEAVERS.

They Live In Families and Take Goot
Caro- Of Their Young.
Beavers live In families, like human
beings. The male has one wife, and the
ohildren stay at homo until they are
three years old, when they 90 abroad
seeking companions OF their own and
set up housekeeping for themselves. II
by any reason general breakup OF the
lodge" takes place, the young beavers
60 down stream and tho old ones up, as
1t is easier to build dam up stream,
where the water is shallower, and gen.
orally bark from small trees is moro
easily obtained
The lodges, II not broken up by man,
remain in use for long series OF years,
and are admirably adapted to copven-
ience and safety Each lodge on the
bank Of 4 stream has three openings,
and sometimes more. The first en-
trance slopes up gradually from the bot
tom OF the stream TO the chamber where
the beavers live. BY this entrance they
bring In their food, which consists OF

out short enough TO bo turned or han
died any way inside Of tho living room.
Another entrance, or way OF egress
rather, goes straight down from the
chamber TO level with the bottom OF
tho river, when II turns squarely and
comes out In tho bottom Of the stream.
Down this hole thoY drop the sticks
when they have eaten of the bark, and
then drag tho white naked pieces OF
wood out to tho bottom to float away.
Tho third entrance is from beneath also,
and is sinuous, turning in many ways,
and serves good purpose when be-
sieged by an enemy. All these entrance
ways are arched over with sticks and
plastered with mud and grass. The bot
toms OF these entrance ways are also
laid With short sticks like corduroy.
The lodge or chamber itself Is q house
rom six TO eight feet square, laid up
against the wall with sticks like log
,abin. When stick in the wall OF this
,abin rots, II is carefully removed, and
lnother put in Its place.-scientihc

Arrived at q police station the party
marched in and halted IN front Of o biz

BeOth'S Former C0nfldante.

Chicago, Agril 24.-The Times publishes a story from Birming- ham, Ala, in which Louise Wor- cester, at one time confdante of J. Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln, is credited with saying that Booth is not dead. She declared that in 1867, two years after Booths supposed death, she received letter without date or signature, but unmistakably in Booths hand writing. This letter she says, is still in existence.
 As to the probability of the man shot by Boston Crobett being Wilkes Booth, she points out that the body was closely guarded and secretly buried without an oppor- tunity being given for identifca- tion by any of those intimately ac- quainted with him. She believes that the man killed was one of the conspirators, and that Booth made good his escape; but that in the excited and clamorous condition of the public mind it was thought best by the authorities, if they knew of the deception, to allow it to pass unchallenged in order to allay the fever of excitement which the assassination had aroused.

Incident of the Kentucky Tornado

A log house at the forks of the Rough, Breckinridge county, Ky, was blown away, leaving the fami- ly that was within unharmed. The unhoused people started for a neigh DOTS place, and while passing through an orchard heard the vail ing ot an infant They found the child, which appeared to have just been born, in bed, across the ends of which were two great logs. They took the infant with them and sought the neighbor's house, but it had been entirely swept away. Their only place of refuge was an over hanging cliff near by. Arriving there they found a man and woman, who proved to be the parents ofthe child. They said that the child was but 8 hours old when the tor nado struck the house. The mother jumped out of bed, when every thing was swept away. They had hunted for the babe, and had final ly given up in despair.

Lee White Released.

Lee White has been released from the county jail on q S2,00O bond, which guarantees his ap- pearance before the district court at the August term. His sureties are Mrs. s. c. White, his aunt, Frank White his Uncle, and Richard Gib- lin, all of San Pedro. His bonds were fixed at $1 ,000 in each ot the eases wherein indictments are pend ing against him-one for holding up and robbing John Elder near Cerrillos, and the other for stealing the Critchfeld horse.
 White is probably not near so bad as he has been represented to be, and now that he has had pret- ty bitter lesson, which has had the effect of making him resolve to lead better life, he will find many people who will help him to make good his new resolutions. He is now at San Pedro and will be given employment in the mines there.- New Mexican.

It is now believed that the man. moth abounded to as great an ex- tent upon the east as on the west coast of Behring sea. In fact, mann moths have already been discover ed in Alaska, and news comes that a syndicate has been formed for the purpose of procuring their ivory tusks, which are now of great value and which will undoubtedly con- tinue to become more valuable, as the elephant is being exterminated. For about a thousand years North ern Siberia has exported large amount of ivory to Russia. And at present it is estimated that not less than hundred pairs of tusks are found every twelve months and shipped to the Czar's commercial centers.
