Tura, coming from over seas, found him
self in a land named Otea, and leaving
his canoe journeyed inland. Travelling
through the dense forest, he saw fairies sit.
ting in the flowers of the climbing plants
and swinging on the llianas which trailed
from the high boughs across the vistas of
the wood. These fairies were curiously
shaped beings, having small heads and
large bodies, while their hands and feet
were attached to limbs so short that they
seemed us if extruding from their bodies.
Tura had brought with him the sticks
wherewith fire is produced by friction, and
he proceeded to kiadle a fire and to cook
some food, much 10 the astOnishment of
food in its natural state. Tura fell in love
with one of the fairy women and married
her His wife reciprocated his affection
and they lived happily together; but one
day when the elfn spouse was combing
out her husbands hair she suddenly cried
out, "Oh, Tura, what is this white hair
among the black onesS"
He told her that it was n sign of age and
of approaching decay, the forerunner of
death. Then his wife wept bitterly and
refused To be comforted. II is a touching
story, the sudden surprise and grief of this
child of the immortals on her discovery of
that which to us poor sons of clay is so
common and obtrusive fact. The old
legend has given rise to a proverbial say
ing, "The weeds of Tura," a. a syuony-
nous expression for gray hair. -Longman's

saw a wayward husband standing at

heard her say to her husband, "Do you see
that ring'" He replied, "Yes, l see it."
SWELL, F" said she, "do you remember who

there" and all the past seemed to rush
upon him. BY the memory Of that day
when, in the presence of men and angels,
YOU promised to be faithful in Joy and sor-
row, aud in sickness and in health; by the
memory of those pleasant hours when you
sat together in your new home talking of
alright future; by the cradle and the joy
full hour when one life was spared and an
other given; by that sick bed, when the
little one lifted up the hands and called for
help, and you knew he must die, and he
put one arm around each of your necks and
brought you very near together in that
dying kiss; by the little grave in Green
wood that you never think of without
rush Of tears; by the family Bible, where,
amidst stories of heavenly love, is the brief
but expressive record of births and deaths:
by the neglects of the past, and by the
agonies of the future; by judgment day,
when husbands and wives, parents and
children, in immortal groups, will stand to
be caught up in shining array or to shrink
down into darkness; by all that, beg you

when our past life will probably pass be

II from our death pillow we have to look
back and see life spent in sinful amuse-

through our soul sharper than the dagger
with which Virginius slew his child. The
memory of the past will make us quake
like Macbeth. The iniquities and rioting
through which we have passed will come
upon us, weird and skeleton as Meg Mer
rifles. Death, the old Shylock, will de-
mand and take the remaining pound of
flesh, and the remaining drop of blood,
and upon our last opportunity for repent
ance and our last chance for heaven the
curtain will forever drop.

He Went Crazy

Capt j. G. Trenbath. supervisor OF
Spur township brought down crazy
Finlander last Saturday for safe keep
ing In the county Jail until such time as
he could he properly disposed Of. The
Fins name is John Paska. He was
employed on the Huron Bay & Iron
Range railroad hast summer. He was
taken with typhoid fever and was
brought out to be cared for by family
of his e,untrymen ut Spur. He re-
covered from the fever but recently
showed marked symptoms of insanity.
Friday last he became very violent, and
to prevent him from doing harm to
himself or others it was thought best to
put him in confinement. He has o
family in the old country.
One Of the most aggravating circum-
stances connected with this case is the
fact that he has q couple of months
pay coming to him from the railroad
company which Mr.. Trenbath has made
every effort to collect for him but with
out success. The company claims the
account is paid, lat it is morally certain
that the man did not get the money.
Here is some more evidence of rotten
ness in the affairs of that now famous
railroad.

Jail Delivery.

Last Saturday evening, while Sheriff
Carney was at Baraea OH business, OBJ.
Shaw and Charles Reynolds, who were
in Jail awaiting trial at the circuit court,
the former for an assault upon Il. Ere.
nettc, OF this place, and the later for
stabbing young Robiilara, at Daraga
last sumMer, made their escape from
Jail and took to the woods. They got
out of the building by breaking hole
through the ceiling of the jail corridor
and climbing through the gable window.
Circuit court was in session on Mon
day md Tuesday, but unfortunately for
the prisoners they were not on hand to
stand trial. The probabilities are TINT
Shaw would have got off with o light
sentence aud Reynolds would certainly
have Jared better than he is likely to
now. But they were not on hand and
their cases went over.
Last Tuesday morning Deputy Sheriff
Ford, of Even, discovered Shaw under
the railroad water tank at Gogebic lake
and as he answered the description of
man wanted by officers of Houghton
county who he was looking for under
took to arrest him. Before putting the
shackles on Shaw, Ford handed his re-
volver to fellow who is dubbed Quit
eau with instructions to cover Shaw
with it until he had him secure. Giteau
was under the influence of liquor, il is
said, and pulled the trigger with moro
force than was necessary, discharging
the weapon in the face of the prisoner.
The ball took effect in Shaw's mouth,
entering on the left side and knocking
his teeth oil out on that side, and COM
ing out under the left ear. The unfori-
innate man was taken to Even for medi-
cal treatment. where Sheriff Carney
founi him Wednesday and brought him
back to Jail. He is now in very pre-.
carious condition, being unable to par
take OF any kind Of food.
Sheriff Carney found Reynolds also
at Gogebic lake. He was among o gang
Of woodsmen who were pretty well fill-
ed up with vile whiskey and inclined to
be ugly. They did not propose to let
the sheriff take Reynolds away, but he
did, just the same. They oil got on the
train and escorted Reynolds and the
sheriff as far as Matchwood, but they
concluded finally not to interfere. Both
Shaw and ReyI ODDS are now in Jail.
