Slow.

The patrons Of q section of railway In
England complain Of the slow time made
BY the trains Their discomfort is not nm

enough for these current stories to inspire.
belief. The passengers may well have been
impatient on that train which, it is ayerred,
was watched with interest by man who.
was evidently unused to its appearance
and rate of speed. ":
He stood at one side as the train crept
slowly by, and was seen solemnly to re-
move his hat. He intended his salute for
q funeral procession. 1.i
A gentleman refused to provida ticket
for his dog. He said the animal could just
as well run beside the train. Finally the
affair was settled by tying the dog to the
last compartment, and under this compart-
ment he ran, as coach dog follows a car
riage. 10.
The enkineman is credited with a secret
willingness that the dog should be strane
gled, and thus pay the penalty for his au-
dacity in trying to equal the speed Of the
train. But at Sevenoaks thedog seemed
perfectly fresh, and not at all inconye-
nienced by this mode Of travefs q.
Then the speed was put 10 the extreme
limit known on this line.
At the end of the route they found the
Door dog very tired with waiting. BE had
bitten through the rope and run on, and
now greeted his master with an air that
seemed to say, "Well, you have got here at
last. ."-Youth's Companion. ;.&

A Woman's Way.

Two ladies paused in their shopping In
this city the other day and discussed the;
advisability Of having luncheon in a res
taurant. One of the ladies was resident;
Of New York and the other was friend
from out Of town. The New York lady:
was acting the part Of hostess, and she WAS
anxious to provide for her friend 8 lunch

hesitation the ladies entered an attractive
uptown restaurant, and picked ont q cozy.

exactly what they wanted, but they wanted
something that would taste good, and so
informed the waiter. s5S 80
That important functionary was inclined
to be trife Indifferent; but the keen witt
ted New York lady quietly slipped half a
dollar into his hand with the coadng re-
mark, "Now, won't you get Us up anfce
little luncheon" The surprised waiter un-,,
bent at once, and after a few questions as
to what the ladies liked and did not like he:
started kitchenward in q very amiabls
mood. The result was very dainty and
well served luncheon, and the Ladies' expe-,
rienced delightful sense Of comfort. q;

A Child's Tribute.

Il was one of the hottest days Of july
Not breath Of air was stirring, even tr
the tops of the trees. The sturdy EngliShI
sparrows had ceased their sharp, shril1|
ehirping, and we're painting in the shade.
If you looked straight down the street you
could see a.quivering Of heat in the air Ike
that which Is often visible over hotstove.
Everybody walked slowly. Few OF the|
drivers of vans, wagons and cabs urged
their horses into trot. The only animals
that suffered were the poor street car
horses. They went trotting and gallopingl
by with their loads, which on account aof|
the heat were heavier than usual. Many
OF the poor brutes stopped during the day,
staggered under the whip, and dropped by
the roadside - =
The circumstance had finally become sol
usual that it attracted but little attention
and less pity. But of all the horses that
died that cruel afternoon one at least re-
ceived tribute as affecting as If paid by
an angel. The animal had dropped IN the
street and had been rudely dragged to one
side, where it lay, rolling It's dust filed
eyes, gasping and lo1fing it's tongue. A
small crowd gathered around, shutting
out what little air there was. Hold ON,
Cally," shouted q gamin, "here's funl Let's

"Git a pillar," facetiously suggested,a
red nosed man with blotched face.
"His head don't lay easy" said another
to a veterinary surgeon who took onA
glance and walked away. "Give i'm Q

Just then ragged little girl passed
proudly by carrying cheap bouquet and
smelling of it frequently. When she saw
the dying horse she stopped amoment, and
then by sudden impulse went and laid
the flowers on his head. Strange to say no:

away shamefacedly. So, one by one, did
the others, and the poor animal was left td

Odd Discovery Of q Thief.

A finger nail led to the discovery Of a
thief who robbed factory in France. He
entered through a window, and the nail
was in some way torn off and left on the
sill. The next day an employe appeared
with an injured finger, and suspicion of
course pointed to him, but he fled before
he could be arrested. He was traced to
Paris, and, on the police finding him in
apartments, he jumped out of the window
and was dashed to death on the bricks be-

this year, with the exception of on
the Northern Belle mine, which has
opened up a vein of ten feet across
averaging twenty dollars in gold to
the ton. The quartz in many places
shows free gold and averages the
above amount right through; Sc
lected ore Of course running higher.
The ore is free milling and there is
a sufficientquantity already "block-

value of the property. A spring
of fine water right at the mine
furnishes all the water necessary
for working the property, and iron
wood as well as talo verde is plenti-
full in the immediate vicinity.

the ores in Knoxville, the water
necessary can be obtained from
