"Let me tell you what I've noticed

I've seen a magnificent young woman

Of the school and to her home, where he
was invited in for social call. I've seen
her go with him on Chinese picnic and
go of with him into the woods ON long
rambles alone. Now l know that young
woman is as good and as pure as the

good young woman he went into Mott

women there, and into the gambling

that prevented him from showing his
spirit, his feelings and his mate wicked
ness toward the young woman who
taught him was his fear of the law. A
thought of right or wrong never entered
his head. 1t was fear. A slick article was

and he still visits the Mott street

found the young women a strong

to understand that when they sit down
close to Chinaman and talk Christian
ity to him, the Chinaman doesn't get his
mind down to the subject talked about
any more than a good healthy young
American man would. The thoughts are
of the teacher and not of the lesson. If

Harden was married to one of the pref

out in splendid country home, and
their life was one of felicity until one
day last summer. Harden and his wife
had just finished dinner. Harden got
up, saying: "Nell, must get to work;
come, kiss me good-by." He started out,
but turned as he did SO. Il believe,n
said he, "Fll carry my shotgun. The
blackbirds have been playing havoc in

piece, and, slouldering it, went out, his
wife calling after him as he did so. She
stood at the window talking until he
was 100 yards away. He turned around
to say something. As reply she threw
a kiss at him. Thinking to scare her,
Harden raised the gun.

window. "Shoot; I'll bet you can't hit

Harden returned at night expecting a
welcome. Instead he found his wife
dead.
He was tried, convicted of inyolun-

He paid the fine and costs and was

Thinks Will Fill the Bill.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.--A young
Californian, Amos Lane of Truckee,
thinks he has solved the problem Of
Arctic travel, and brought the North
Pole within the pale of civilization. The
machine he has invented is sort of
steam motor sleigh. Mr.. Lane has been
using the first machine which he con
structed-a small one run by hand.
power-for snow and ice travel among
the mountains during the last two years
with entire success. He is now having
made at the iron works large one to
be run by steam power. If no Arctic
explorer takes advantage Of this new
means of reaching the North Pole by
express, Mr.. Lame will use il for haul
ing passengers and towing logs and car
rying freight in the high Sierras, and
will have it on hand for transferring
passengers over snow blockades on the
Central Pacific.
The sleigh bed is supported by two
double 12-foot runners. Each of these
double runners is "a inches wide with Il
groove IA inches wide running through
the centre. At right angles to the run
nors, in each end of the sleigh box, are
two 4-foot cylinders. A rubber belt
on which are set "a V-shaped shoyels
connects each pair of cylinders, from
front to rear, in the groove of each
double runner. The apex of the
shoyels points downward or up
ward as tho belt rolls around the
cylinders, and when on the under
side presses into the snow or ice.
II the snow is very hard, or the sleigh is
travelling over ice, only the tips of the
shovels will penetrate, and the machine
will glide along as smoothly as a tobog-
gan. The engine, of G-horse power, Is
placed in the rear end Of the vehicle,
and the whole machine weighs only
1900 pounds. Screws in the rear drums
gauge the depth of the "bitc" of the
shovels.
The machine needs no roads, can
climb steep grades, and go anywhere,
over snow or ice, where the way is moi
INSTRUCTED by thick timber or perpen-
dicular cliffs.
With his hand machine Mr.. Lane has
been able to make 10 miles an hour over

Probably the oldest occupation ever
followed by man is that of an old Ten
nesseean who lives about three miles
north of Gainesville, Missouri, in the
Ozark mountains. 1t is George Jaynes,
or, as he is known in that neighborhood,
"Snaky George" Jaynes came here
from the mountains of Tennessee several
years ago and followed the occupation
of hunting for living. He never got
very much ahead, but managed to exc
out good living for himself by the sale
of game and skins. He brought with
him from his old home the art of max
ing snake oil, and sold several pints
during each season to the various drug
gists in that part of the state, and always
got a good price for it, as it was Of an
excellent quality. sThe rocks Of the
Ozark mountains abound with rattle
snakes, and it was not long before
Jaynes saw that if he went at il right he
had bonanza in the business. He
looked about and found piece Of rocky
land on the south side OF the mountain,
which wIa utterly worthless as far as
agriculture was concerned.
