How They Col the fle.

When Cal. Thomas and Jerry Kier. Sted were little boys here in Cincinnati they ran away -troIE school one day ts % to a circus that was showing over in COvington. They had money enough to get into the show, but all they had
 left to get any refreshments with was five cents that belonged to Cal. Like all boys. they had good appetites, and they carried them right along with them. Before the circus was over they were both ravenously hungry, for they had skipped away without going to din- ner In place of candy and lemonade Sand, as we see nowadays, there was 6 ,.lace where pies were sold. But pies were bringing ten cents in the market. and It would take whole one to go around in a crowd of two such hungry boys. Jerry hit on plan to get 6 pie for five cents. "While I get the pie mans attention in talking" said he to Cal. ''you poke your thumb into one of the pies.'' What forp'' said Cal.- "What good will it do a feller when he's hungry to jab his thumb into pieF Thumbs don't eat pie" ''Never you mind" said Jerry, you jes' do as say" Cal. did as he told him to, with put the pieman seeing him, and then Jerry, who had the five cents in his fist, picncd up the damaged pie and said quite innOcently: "Heres a pie that's got smashed. You'll sell this half-price, won't you?' The pie-man locked at it and readily assented, and the boys iuncbed ravenously with many in- ward chuckles. Cincin1sati SatnrCIGg
 A Dog in Ia Melon Patch.
 Scotch terrier born in France. and now buried on Long Island, was as vain IS turkey gObbler and as cute as fox. When his dinner of scraps was set out he would smell of it, toss hh head, ald strut of; but the moment that he thought he was not observed the dignity was dropped and the meat snapped up. If laughed at, his sol- emn manner and injured air were very -cOmical. Sometimes the mischief lover of the family would say to him, in tones of praise: 'Oh, you homely little imp, you ugly scamp. you shall be hung up for a scarecrow." just to see the ex- pressiOn of pleasure in tho energetic notion of his shortened tail. He was often taken to the woods to hunt When his quick, short bark told the boys that he had treed squirrel. to tease the dog they would go to the tree. look up at he squirrel, and then turn and walk away. The terrier would scratch furi- ously. and, catching sprout in his teeth, would fairly fling himself on the ground in his rage. Neddv's foibles were apparent, but he was brave and srue- He died defending his ovnsr's melon patch.

Alaska's Valuable Forests.

Alaska forests contain enough lum- Der to supply the world. The forests of pine, spruce, fir, and hemlock cover every island of the archipelago and 6 goodly portion of the mainland. The trees are straight and tall and grow close together. The only saw-mi1l at present in operation is at Douglas is- land, and so far there has not been . cord of timber cut for shipment. The trees, as a rule, do not have large di- mensions, and will not always cut up into good-sized boards. For fuel, how ever, the wood is excellent, and much of it is available for building purposes,
 .nere is little decorative wood, al. .hoagh the yellow pine is richly color. cd and might be used to advantage in interior work. Alaska spruce is an ex- cellent variety, and often measures five. feet in diameter. It is considered tLe best spruce in the world and the supply is very abundant. In the interior of the country, timber is of much heavier growth than near the coast and on the islands. Regarding the hemlock, there is large supply, and the bark com- pares favorably with that of ths east ern trees, used in tanning establish ments. None have yet attempted to compute the value of the Alaska for ssts. It may be they will not be nec- essary for years to come, but whenever wood grows scarce elsewhere, or when- ever civilization fastens itself upons Alaska, the timber of the region will be found ready at hand and existing in rich profusion. Calculating only ap- proximately the value of our posses sions to-day. the forests must be con- sidered. Practically inexhaustible, they add most materially to the wealth of the country.-SitkG Cor.

KoMANCE FROM THE SPANISH.

Verdant fields bloom fresh and sweet Where the waves of Tormes flow; For she co mes with tripping feet, Culling Towers which round her grow. On the fertile meads around,
 And the forests cool green gloom, Where her footsteps touch the ground, May each bud break forth in bloom! Lilies white and clove pinlis sweet Now in brightest colors blow; For she comes with tripping feet, Culling flowers which round her grow. Dewy pearls the rosy dawn
 Casts down from it's portals height, And upon the verdant lawn
 Crystal drops are gleaming bright. While the sun with fiery heat
 Like ruby gem doth glow; For she comes with tripping feet, Culling flowers which round her grow. Now gentle perfumed breeze
 Der the waving herbage plays; While betwixt the leafy trees
 Nightingales intone soft lays, The bright nascent morn to greet, With sweet voices twittering low; For she comes with tripping feet, Culling flowers which round her grow.

Remarkable Showing for Mormondom.

AO'hhifNaDio HnoWIIS TOT MOrmOndOm.
 The great bulk of the people of Utah are agriculturists. Their possessions are ill lands and herds. The statistics show that 90 per cent. of Mormon families own their own homes. There is no other com munity on earth which will make a like showing. There is not an almshouse, or ,"e necessity for one, in any Of the ex- Clusively Mormon settlements With the exception of the mines, every otEay in- dustry in Utah is kept alive by Mormon labor and Mormon patronage. The Nor mons supply the most reliable non-strik- ing class of laborers in the whole inter- mountain region.
 The agricultural and pastoral products Of Utah for 1887, according to the esti- mates furnished by the governor of the territory, were sufficient to produce total of more than $5,0O0,0 0,0OO-Delegate John I. Caine.

''Cut of my mustache! Q, ye godsl I'd rather lose my head, by odds"
: Neat Way of Recovering StCtun Prup-


 A wealthy farmer named White, from near Sterling, put up at the Merchants recently, and upon retiring, placed he pOcket-book containing 1925 in green backs. and papers representing about S6,00c in value, ,lunder lis pillow. When he aru-e Tn the morning, he left the book under the pillow, and did not miss it for severa: hours afterward, and wheh he returned to his room 10 search for it reported his loss to the proprietors, and they, after consultation, concluded that the chamberma;d who had fixed up the room must lave some Knowledge of the missing property. She was inter- viewed regarding the matter, but in an- swer to threats of prosecution, etc.. boldly declared her innocence and chal- lenged search of her person and room Mir. White understands human nature thoroughly, and himself sought an ln- GerVieW with the woman, feeling satis- jed that if she was guilty of purlOining his property he could soon wrest con- fession from her. Seating himself by her side, he told her he was her friend; that he knew she was a poor woman. and that he felt sure she had found the money, and that such an amount had proved for her temptation which she could not resist. He todd her that he cared nothing for the money, and would gladly give it all to her if she would re- store to him the valuable papers con- tained in the book. In pathetic Ian. guage, which we cannot here reproduce, he appealed to Der more tender feelings so successfully thatin very few minutes she burst into tears and acknowledged that she had found the book. She con fessed that she had stolen the money from 1t, and after hiding the funds un- der the stove had thrown the book and papers into the vault of the water closet. She got the money from where she had secreted it and returned it to Mr. White. who, after counting it. presented her with $20 bill and some wholesome ad~ vice, and assured her that he would drop the matter and not prosecute her The pocket-book was found yesterday and restored to the owner, the papera being uninjured. - Bismarck (D.

 As the pampered and petted child of wealth often presents a puny appear ance, so the petted idol of ayoung mans ambition is many times but a sickly growth. I have often thought that if Nature ever feels ashamed of any of her efforts, she must blush to see some of the mustacies of to-day.

They are Enjoying Themselves in and
About Portland.
PORTLAND orr, February 13.h.-Seyeral
fugitive Montana Senators are in the city,
They are bright young men, with deter
mination to hold out for what they con-
slider their political rights. In an inter
view with them, during which Senator
Baker was the principal spokesman, the
gentleman stated that the root of the whole
trouble lies with the action of the Commits
sioners Of Silver Bow county, who auto
cratically assumed the right to throw out
the entire vote of Precinct No. 81, which
gave the Legislature Republican major
ity. The fight on our part" continued
Senator Baker, was 10 see Justice done
The Commissioners overstepped the limits
of their authority, and even after the Dis
trict Court ordered them to count the vote
they ignored the mandate.
There are sixteen Senators all told, and
the vote of the body is a lie. Owing to
what we consider the injustice of having
thrown ont the Silver Bow vote, we re-
fused to vote upon any measure brought
before the Senate.
Lieutenant Governor Richards held that
in the event we declined to actively par
tieipate in the proceedings of the body he
would rule the votes (Republican) TO be
g majority"
But what was your real cause for lesV-
ing the State; did you fear arrest ?'
No, sir; we wanted te break the quo

The Stars and Stripes Torn Down a
American Property DESTROYED.

The Stars and Stripes Torn Down and
American Property Destroyed.
New York, February 13th.-The latest
indignity perpetrated upon American trad
ers in Colombia, South America, is the
looting Of the storehouses on the San Bias
coast. These buildings are owned by Fos-
ter & Co.. Leopold Schepp and William
Heron & Co., of this city, and merchants
of Boston and Philadelphia
These merchants trade with the San
Bias Indians, and they carried lumber from
here and erected storehouses on The San
Bias coast. The Indians collect cocoanuts
and other products of their territory for
these merchants. They store these goods
in the storehouses until trading vessel ar
rives.
Mr.. Foster was Informed Yesterday that
the Colombian gunboat La Popa carried
away or destroyed all the goods in these
warehouses during the absence of the In
dians. The Colon bians found none Of the
aborigines on the coast save some squaws,
who made an effort 10 defend the property
They raised the American flag over the
buildings and prepared to defend them.
The flags were hauled down and torn into
shreds by the crew of the gunboat, who
after having sacked the storehouses, tore
rings from the ears and noses of the squaws
and then treated them with great brutality

IOWA LEGISLATURE.
Governor Larrabee Sends in Lengthy
Message.


Message.
DEs MONIES Qa.), February 13th.-The
Democratic caucus to-day rejected the pro-
position for compromise made by the
Republicans yesterday. The Democrats
then offered a proposition for an equal di-
vision of the committees and settlement
of the Speakership by lot, but the Republi-
cans promptly rejected it, and say they will
consider no other action as the proposition
their ultimatum was rejected.
Governor Larrabee sent in his message
to the Legislature to-day. No one had re-
ceived any lntimation that it would come
before the permanent organization. 1t is
very long, probably 10000 words. 1t is in
great part review of the condition of
State institutions, with recommendations
as to legislation for their benefit. He also
takes great deal of space for two subjects,
railroads and prohibition, in which he is
most interested.
He claims that experience has justified
the railroad legislation of the last general
assembly. He makes some radical recon-
mendations for the future.
He favors a two-cent fare on first-class
roads and the establishment of joint rates.
He thinks railroads should be prohibited
from engaging in the coal or meat busi-
ness or from doing anything else besides
railroad work proper, so as not TO compete
with persons engaged in other kinds of
business.
He thinks Commissioners should be en-
ployed 10 compel railroads TO tell who are
their stockholders, and give their resi-
dence also the salaries of all the general
officers. He thinks the laws against passes
should be enforced more strictly.
He reviews at length the prohibition
situation in this State, and claims that the
law has been very successful. He argues
against any change in the present policy of
the State, but thinks the laws should be
amended so as to prevent undue searchers
of private houses or malicious persecu-
tons.
He advises reductions of telegraph tolls
to twenty-five cents for twenty words. As
a whole his railroad ideas are not as severe
as they were two years ago, when they
called out the Granger legislation.
The message was received without read
ing. and the Legislature resumed its usual
routine.

lower House. and we did not desire to be
compelled to recognize it ss legal body.
We made all manner of overtures to the
Republicans for an investigation of the
Silver Bow election, and challenged them
TO show fraud, but all our courting in that
direction proved fruitless. Our opponents
resisted us from the beginning to the end.
The climax vas reached week ago yester-
