There are abundant evidences that
America is destined to forge her way
to the front in the shipbuilding in
dustry. There has been unwonted
activity in this department during
the past year, and it is worthy of
note that steel shipbuilding is now
in active progress in California, ow-
ing to the Federal Government hav-
ing placed contracts for new steel
cruisers with firms on the Pacific
coast. One vessel for coast defence,
the Monterey, is now about half An
ished, and it is expected that she
will be launched In July. Over 400
men are employed in the yard OF one
firm at San Francisco. The cruiser
San Francisco, which was launched
in November, was fitted up entirely
in the city after which she Is named,
and is the first man-of war turned
out complete from the hands Of the
contractors.

A man who writeth for the news
papers is of few days and lots Of
grief. He riseth in the morning and
knoweth not what the day viii bring
forth. If he telleth all the news he
runneth o great risk Of getting tin

the news the people says be 10 n. g.
and there is no Joy In it. The crafty
man caioleth him five cent cigar,
and fond mothers frovn on him If he
faileth to fatter their freckle faced
bloods. And all his ways are Of woe,
and his days are full OF sorrow. The
life insurance man tackleth him and
the peddler and book agent layeth
snares for him and on the whole he
had a deuce Of q time.

A DeacOn's Adventure With u
Boar.

The most exciting case of this
term of the Knox Supreme Court
began Monday and ended Tuesday.
A boar belonging to Florence Dona-
hue, wealthy Irishman, of Rock
land, last November attacked Deacon
Hiram Ingraham in his barn, whittier
he had strayed, rushed between his
legs, upset him and carried him
twenty-five feet to the edge of a high
walk, where the deacon fell off and
the boar, weighing 400 pounds fell
on top of him, breaking his thigh.
The deacon was laid up long time
and may be lame for life, as he is Is
years old. No settlement having
been affected, the deacon sued Dona-
hue for $4,000 damages. The de-
tense denied that Donahue owned
the boar, and said that he had sold
it to his son Frank last spring, and
showed Franks book to prove the
sale. Plaintiffs counsel commended
that the entries were fraudulent and
made subsequent to the deacon's in
juries, in a different ink and after
the other accounts had been footed
up and transferred to the ledger.
Thus the case went to the jury,
which, after having been out a short
time. returned a verdict of $577.25
for the decentralization, (Me.)

"Before Heaven'I do not, Jeanie!"
he cried.
Then she believed him. She was

THAT note in French. But for
your signature Ishould have thought
the count was responsible for it. It
WAS Unlike you.
All at once the truth flashed upon
Wellman. He stood as if paralyzed
an instant, and then he caught up
her hand in both his own,
"Jeanie-Jeanie," he exclaimed,
athe scoundrel imposed upon mel

"Curse him |" exclaimed Wellman.
"Oh, Jenniel What do you think ?
Why didn't you answer my second
note? Why did you refuse to see
me ?"
The dark lashes of her lustrous
eyes swept her snowy cheek, and her
graceful head fell upon her breast.
Her heart was beating too fast for
her to reply for a moment. Finally
she said:
II was iercely indignant. !

His arm stole about her unrebuked.
Suddenly he drew back from her.
"Why are you in Boston-Can-
mann-your marriage"
She raised her eyes to his for an
instant, and he received look that
sent his hot blood dashing wildly
through his veins.
"It is Aunt Jeanne who is to mar
ry Major Canmann on the 18th.v she
said, in tones low but wondrous
sweet. 81 am In Boston because I
thought you were in New York"
"Jeanie-my own Jeanie ~
He gave a subdued cry of JOY and
clasped her in his arms, while his
very soul seemed to burn with his
reawakened love for her. Oh, the
sweetness of reconciliation Oh, the
Joy of righting wrong!
After that dear, fateful night in
Boston the paths of the reunited
couple were never crossed by the
hated count but once, and then they
had the satisfaction, being in CON-
pany, OF giving him the cut direct.
Soon after their marriage, which
all said was the very happiest union
of the year, Clarence one evening
put aside his paper with the remark:
"My love, the treacherous French
scoundrel who followed you to Bos-
ton, to ask you to marry him, has
been unmasked at last. Long ago
he was kicked out of the club, and
now the paper states-what will sur
prise no one--that he is base i'm
postor, and not only that, but for
tune hunter and criminal"
And this is the story of a note in
French.

CLEAR THE WAY.

Men Of thought, be up and stirring
Night and day;
Sow the seed; withdraw the curtain;
Clear the way;
Men Of action, aid and cheer them
AS We may.
There's fount about to ream;
There's light about to beam;
There's warmth about to glow;
There's flower about to blow;
There's midnight blackness changing
Into gray;
Men of thought and men of action,
Clear the way.
Osee the welcome light has broken,
Who shall say,
What the unimagined glories
OF the day;
What the evil that shall perish
In its ray
Aid the dawning, tongue and pen;
Aid it, hopes of honest men;
Aid it, pen, and aid it, type;
Aid it, for the hour is ripe;

Peter Sapro, "A prominent citizen of

addition TO that city, together with his
son-in-law, John Bedize, were arrested to-
day, charged with having forced four
little boys, the eldest of which is 10 years,
into drinking freely of whisky from which
they became intoxicated. One of the boys
is in a p~recarious condition from the
effects of liquor.
A very unfortunate aud serious accident
occurred at a point q Little. Dalles the
first part of the week, says the Colville
Miner. Two prospectors were sitting
around their campfire cooking their even
ing meal. A blast was Tired on the rail-
road works near by and one of the
bouldcrs in its descent struck one of the
prospectors on the left side Of his head,
crushing il fearfully and tearing the flesh
down his side. His features were scarcely
recognizable. while many Of his ribs were
broken and crushed. The wounded man
was brought TO thisc city and next morning
placed on the cars and sent 10 the hospital

tons foot up S57 900. The crime for which
Bartlett was arrested was committed i'm
the fall of 1889, and he was at that time
the cashier of the Fort Morgan national
bank. He is a splendid and a
fine b~ook-keeper, but too o of dissipa-
ton. and this II was that caused him to
become a defaulter. One day Bartlett
was missing. The directors became
alarmed and his books were at once ex-
amined. Ii was found that his accounts
were many thousand dollars short. The
pilfering had extended over a period of
many months. Bartlett came to Puget
SOUND several months ago, and at that
time was completely out of money and
obtained IA situation as n waiter I'm the
Starr. He was soon promoted to the posi-
ton Of night clerk. which situation he
held at the time of his arrest.

associations would like to see a good
attendance of the friends of arborrul-
ture, and the mayors of Texas are re-
quested to appoint delegates. The
attention that Kansas and Nebraska
have paid to arbOr day has added
millions of dollars to the wealth OF
those states, made living possible and

have been failure and greatly en-
HANGED the comforts and luXuries of

Curious Jealousy.

Although jealousy is the most un-
reasonable of passions, few persons
fear the rivalry of creatures far be-
meath them in the scale of being. 1t
would be possible, one would think,
TO be Jealous of man. but not of a
donkey. Mr.. Il. A. Trollope writes ::
We took, one morning, little
excursion to Tusculum, on which
my wife rode a donkey belonging
to a very competent guide. This
man knew every point where it was
desirab BILE to draw rein in order to en-
Joy the lovely and varied views. The
donkey, who no doubt knew all these
halting places as we'll as his master,
once turned aside from the path, in a
very businesslike fashion, and plant
ed himself before a gate from which a
