OWED HIS LIFE TO STEWART.
How Senator, When q Rising Young Law
ver Saved n Man from the Moose.

Now Senator When Rising Young Law
yer. Saved n Man from the Moose
Senator Stewart dug gold by daylight
and read law by freight. He was admit
ted to the bar and practtced. But his pro-
tession didn't prevent him from going into
mining operations. There were few min
ing camps from 1850 to 1865 in which Sage
brush Bill" Stewart, as he was called, was
not familiar figure. He has great repu-
tation as q traveller He has been all over
the world 1t is said that he can climb
mountain now quicker and easier than nine
men out of ten, without limitation as to
age Senator Wilbur F. Sanders, Of Mon
tana made a reputation in the days Of VIZ
ginia Gulch by hanging bad men.
He was the legal adviser and executive
officer of the vigilantes. Senator Stewart
never hung a man, but he saved several
when he thought the yigilantes were too
hasty in their action. One day, while rid
ing his law circuit, in SO or "a, Stewart
approached a mining camp where prepara-
lions were being made for an execution.
As he dismounted in front Of the hotel,
with his law library in a pair of saddle
bags thrown across his arm, he saw crowd
away off. The signs were plain enough to
his practiced eve. In front OF the hotel a
little bit Of a Texan desperate named
Jack Watson was standing He had come
out to the mines with Jack Hayes party.
He wouldn't weigh more than l2O pounds
But he was all grit. There was a look OF
disgust upon his face.
He was gazing down the road toward the
mob. Stewart inquired what the trouble
was about Watson said the man to be
hung was stranger, an Englishman, who
had come into camp and had stopped there
all night Some money had been stolen,
and the stranger was to be hung for IT..
The Texan expressed the opinion that the
stranger was not guilty. Stewart remarked
that somebody ought to interfere if an in
nocent man was about to be executed. In
a flash the Texans manner changed. He
drew his hands from his pockets. threw
the right hand upon the hilt of his revolver
and giving Stewart a penetrating look ex-
claimed:
"Da'st your"
Stewart mildly replied that he dared,
and without another word Stewart, who
has the longest pair Of legs in the United
States senate, was striding down the road,
| Little Watson was beside him and going
| on a trot They went into the crowd and
| pushed their way to the front, where the
moose was being put in place.
Here, boys" said Stewart, "this mar

Without any delay Judge Lynch's court
was reconvened. The witnesses were put
| on the stand. In fifteen minutes the young
lawyer had shown the flaw in the case
| One of the first questions he asked wa'
whether all of those who had slept in the
hotel the night of the theft still remained
in camp The witnesses said no. On
man had left camp on mule in the morn
ing.
"That man is the thief" said Stewart.
A force Immediately started in pursuit

A New Version of an Old Joke.

A pretty typewriter joke doesn't always

reason to believe that there IS a variety in
STYLES of the lest. This merchant is Il care

make him what he is 1inancially-and he
proposed to run no risks of family dlscord
through his selection of a secretary. In
fact, SO sure was he that his typewriter
would never introduce the green eyed
monster into his domestic circle that ne
merely announced one evening that he had
that day employed Il performer on the lit

He heard nothing more ahGIt it for
month or so, but then he went home one
afternoon To find his wife in Il state of mind
with an open letter in her hand. The let
ter, it was quickly explained, had dropped
from the merchants pocket that morning.
II was an innocent note in It's way from a
business associate, but Just at the end 1t
had this sentence: Met your typewriter
at the theatre last night: seemed to be a
very clipper young person; spoke OF you

There was fire in he good lady's ave as
she exhibited this letter. She had heard
of typcwriters before and all the trouble
they caused. She had decided to confront
the hOrrid person at once. Nothing would

eiNCE WE MUST DIE.

Though we must die, would not die
When 4 ads are brown and bleak,
When Wild geese stream across the skS
And the cart lodge timbers creak.
For it would be 30 lone and drea<
To sleep beneath the snow,
When children carol Christmas cheer,
And Christmas rafterS glow.
Eer would die, though we must die.
When weanlings bliDdly bleat,
When cuckoo laughs and lovers sigh,
And oh, to live is sweet!
When cowslips come again, and spring
Ia winsome with their breath,
And hfe's in love with everything.
With everything but death
Let me not die, though we must die
When bowls are brmmed with sreasl
When mich cows in the meadows lie
Or wade amid the stream;
When dewy dimpled roses smile
To see the face Of June
And lad and lass meet at the sfile,
Or roam beneath the moon
Since we must die, then let me die
When flows the harvest ale,
When the reaper lays the sickle BY,
And taketh down the fail;
When all we priced and all we planned
Is ripe and stored at Last,
And autumn looks across the land,
And ponders on the past,
Then let me die.

Natural History Notes.

An Irish naturalist, Rev. S. A. Brennan,
records these interesting observations: l. "A
hen was seen going down the chimney of
cottage in Arboe parish. The owner was
asked how it came to do this. He said the
house was often locked up when he was at
work, and this particular hen discovered
this strange way of ingress. 2. A hen sit
ting on eggs In an clubhouse at Cushendun.
where there was small hole in the roof
lust above her nest, moved the nest and
eggs to one side to prevent the rain falling
on her. 8. A goose made her nest and laid
on the top of matched cottage in Glen
dun. She pulled away the thatch off the
rigging of the roof, and sat there during
the time of incubation. She had to fly up
and down.-Arkansaw Traveller.

Wood Ducks and Their Young.

Oddly enough, when the wood birds go
bathing, they prefer the dancing rlpples to
the still shining of the pools. Instinct,
Derbaps, tells them Of the greedy fish and
big hungry turtles that lie in wait In the
depths. See that pair of wood ducks
wheedling and chattering about the half
dead sycamore that bends over the stream.
Mrs. Duck made her nest in the soft rotten
wood at top of it. She has just Matched
out dozen balls of yellow down and IS
setting about getting them down to the
water.
Once there, they will swim like ducks
indeed. But flying is as yet beyond them
and the nest is twenty feet in air. LOOK
close and you will see the mother bird
poised with half spread wings just outside
the nest. Slowly, cautiously. with low,
cautious cries, her mate pushes one OF the
ducklings quite upon the middle OF her
back, gives sharp, satisfied quack, and at
once she sails down, settles herself IN MID
stream, dives gently and leaves her baby
sitting on the water without in the least
knowing how he got there.
With a shake of the wings and quack
that saws "Take care" she is off to the
nest, and keeps it up till all her little ones
are launched AS she brings the last a
cruel thing happens. Right below her
flock there is swift up swirling of water.
