had been no enactments by the late legisla-
ture to benefit farmers and laborers as fol-
iows:
The agricultural commission, a measure

He had the appearance fone who had
seen much of the world, and had not
found It soft snap. His clothes were
composite, and he had evidently been
stranger to water and its uses. He shuf-
fed into Major Fay's well known saloon
Pueblo the other day, and, leaning against
the bar, gazed with deep yearning in
his eyes upon the shining rows of bottles
and cut glass on the other side. The
bartender was about to signal the boun-
Ger to do his duty when the stranger
asked for the proprietor.
"Havo you any rats in the house p
asked the stranger
"Rats Well | should say so big as
CATS - said the major
DO you want to get rid Of them p
you bet - was the reply.
"Well, You give me a drink and a din
mel" said the stranger, "and | will agree
to kill every rat in your house in halfan
hour"
Major Fay's curiosity was aroused.
He couldn't see how it could be done, but
here was a fair proposition, and the ex-
pense was not great anyhow, so he said ::
81 guess I'll go you once, anyhow, but
/ don't believe you can do it"
The stranger took a large soaking
drink, and looked confident and happy
as they repaired to a neighboring restau-
rant Tor a dinner.
He ate a hearty meal. 1t wasn't a
square meal-it was an all around meal.
When they got back to the saloon, the
stranger said:
"Have you spade handy?"
A boy was sent for one and soon re-
turned with it. BY this time a crowd
had collected to see the sport.
Everybody was WalllDg I'D great sus-
pense to see the slaughter begin. The
rat catcher took the spade, examined it
carefully, tested its weight, while the
crowd held its breath. Next he selected
big comfortable chair, seated himself,
crossed his les, leaned back with be-
niguan; expression on his scared counte-
nance and said
Now bring on your rats !"
There was momentary pause, and
then sound Of incorporate revelry, fol-
lowed by the quick opening Of the door
and the emission Of heterogeneous mass,
which landed far out on the mud-cush-
ioned street.

OUTGROWN.


Nav, you wrong her. nv friend. her love she
has simply OutgrOwn
One can read the whole matter translating her
heart by the light of ones own
Two summers ago when YOU wOoed her you
stood on the seisame plane;
Face 20 face, heart 10 heart, never dreaming
your souls could be parted again.
She loved you at that time entirely, in the
bloom of her life's early May.
And il is not her fault | repeat IL, that she
does not love You to-day.
Nature never stands still, nor souls either;
they either 20 up or 60 down;
And hers has been steadily soa- -ing,-bu how
has it been with your own?
She has struggled and yearned and aspircd !;
grown purer and wiser each wear;
The stars are not further above you, IN yon
luminous atmosphere.
For she whom you crowned with fresh roses,
down yonder, five summers ago
Has learned that the first of0ur duties TO God
and ourselves is 10 grow.
Her eyes now are sweeter aud calmer but
their vision is clearer as we'll
Her voice has rendered cadence, but IS pure
as a silver bell.
Have YOU too. grown purer and wiser as the
months and the years have rolled on
Did YOU meet her this morning rejoicing IN the
triumphs Of victory won?
Nay. hear me-the truth cannot harm you !:
when today in her presence you stood,
Was the hand that you gave her as white and
clean as that of her womaphood?
Go measure Yourself by her standard ool back
on the years that have fled,
Then asked. if YOU need. why she tells you that
the love Of her girhood is dead.
She cannot look down to her lover-hg love
like her soul. aspires
He must stand by her side or above her who
would kindle its ho4iest fires

West Tiroinia's Wealth.

President Ingalls, of the Chesapeake Il
Ohio Railroad has recently been inter-
viewed by Mr.. Grasiy, correspondent of
the Manufacturers Record, and we ap-
pend a paragraph or two;
Taking the State of West Virginia
alone" Mr. Ingalls, proceeded to say, ''it
is by far the richest coal State in the
Union, having about one-thirteenih of
the entire coal area of the United States
and about one and half times as large a
coal field as all of Great Britain. For
all purp ses of manufacture and as
coke producer. the coal Of West Virginia
is without superior Its easily mined
it reaches the seaboard on one side at
low cost for shipment to the North as
well as for supplying foreign steamers,
and on the other side it strikes the Ohio
river, having the benefit Of cheap trans
poriation ty river and rail to the entire
West. The peculiarly favorable position
Of the State, lying between the seaboard
and the West, gives assurance of an IN
creasing demand that must fully tax the
output of all the mines in the State.
Great Britain, You know" said he.
wifi il much smaller coal ARA is pro-
ducins in the neighborhoOd. of two hum
dred million tons ayear, aud'eyen when
the production 81 West Virginia shall
begin to. approximate 70 such enormous
figures, yhe supply is p unlimited that
there will be no such material enhance
ment in cost Of Mining as in Great Bri-
tain, where coal is every year becoming
more and more expensive, owing to the
enormous depth at which the mines are
being worked. A striking contrast be-
tween coal mining in West Virginia and
in Great Britain is seen in the fact that
n recent mine in Great Britain cost S5,-
100000 for the preliminary work before
a ton of coal was put out the mining
operations being carried on about 2,2OO
feet under ground. In the Durham coal
field. from which comes the largest supply
of coke for England's furnaces, the coal
is mined at a depth Of 1900 feet in
vein that, if am not wrongly informed,
j. only about two feet wide, and the heat
is so intense that the men can work but
n short time without seeking the outside
air; while, in West Virginia, much OF our
coal field is above water level, and the
coal is mined in drifts and at cost that
is amazing to the English coal operators.
The coal field ofthe State covers 10000
square miles, which is very much larg-
er area than the entire coal area Of Penn
sylvania.
"Along the route of the Chesapeake d
Ohio" Mr.. Ingalls, continued, "in Vir-
ginia and in West Virginia, there Is an
abundace Of iron ore TO support many
furnaces for all time to come. The iron
ore resources of this territory, such, for
instance as Craig county, and in the re-
gion tributary to Covington, Clifton
Forge and at many other points, is prac-
ticaly as unlimited in quantity as the
coal. The branch road that we arc
now building into Craig county, and the
line that will be built into the Potts creek
region by Senator Camden, will open up
some Of the finest iron ore properties in
America"

"The Irish Is the strongest race in the
world, said one Of them. I'VE have the
breadth, the chest. A few years ago two
regiments Of the British army were lined
up, the one in front of the other. There
were a thousand Englishmen Of the Royal
Guard in one line, and a thousand Irish
men of the Couuaught Rangers in the
other The liues began at the same place,
but the line Of Irishmeu stretched thirty
six feet further than the other. 1t was
caused by the difference in wid. b OF chest,
for the men in both regiments touched
elbows"
