A voice we loved is stilled,

The soul is safe in heaven.

THE LIZARD GAVE WARNING.
How Sleeping Miner Was Saved From
an Immense Rattlesnake

How Sleeping Miner Was Saved From
an Immense Rattlesnake.
A man named Anderson and myself were
prospecting in California, says writer in
the Memphis Avalanche. In those days
there were no railroads on the Pacific coast
and miners generally shouldered their blan-
kets, shovels, picks and pans and tramped,
as they called it, from one section OF the
mining country to another, lying down on
the ground when night overlook them, their
blankets being their only bedding. For
some time followed this kind of life, and
one day, while walking pretty lively until
noon, we stopped in the shade of large
tree to cook and eat our dinner, smoke our
pipes and take rest. The day, it being
pretty warm, after taking smoke. We lay
down on our blankets and soon fell asleep.
We had not been resting long when was
partially conscious Of something fitting
across my face. Soon felt it again, and
kind of chattering noise SO aroused me that
I opened my eyes. but did not move. Very
shortly it came again, when saw it was one
of the California swifts, species of the
lizard, common in that part OF the country.
They are about six inches in length, of
reddish color and quite harmless, They are
also possessed of some intelligence, as the
SEQUEL will show. As the lizard passed over
my face third time raised to a sitting
position, fully aware Of some impending
danger. Looking around saw on one side
of me, near by. the little swift: intently
Watching my movements, and on the other
side, not six feet distant, q large rattlesnake,
lazily moving toward me. As ! sprang to
my feet his rattles gave the signal of danger

during the dry season. looked for my
little rescuer-for the swift had no doubt
saved my lifembut !: 2 had disappeared DIN n
my six-shooter. He had nine rattles and
measured two feet three inches in length.
never shall forget the little bright eyes
of the swift as he watched me after his mis-
sion of mercy, and why he should warn me
of the coming danger il one OF the mystic

work to make and perfect the survey, and
some of the engineers nearly persisted in

fifteen feet wide, and the line will be eight

from the base of the mountain ia 1925 feet

Another Great Falls Excursion.
Passenger Agent Hubbard, of the Mon
tana Central, announces that he will give
the puplic one more of those popular excur-
sions to Great Falls and the round trip fare
will be only $500. The special train will
leave here at 9:15 a. m. and will arrive at
Great Falls at 1890.
As a special inducement on this occasion,
it is announced that the train will carry
passengers without extra charge along the
smelter extension, thus giving splendid
view of the Giant spring, big dam, ilAinbow
and Black Eagle falls.
Only first-class coaches will be provided,
and this will probably be the last Sunday
