THERE will nat be many tears shed
over the defeat Of John james Ingalls, in
the Kansas senatorial contest. Many who
do not agree with him in politics have
admired his pyrotechnIc oratory but in the
light Of recent events can Rave but little
respect for him as a man OF fixed
principles. When it became apparent
that in all humau probability be would
meet with political destruction through
the capitalization Of sentiments which he
had made a life long duty to combat, in
stead OF attempting TO maintain his "
self respect in the face Of threatened de-
feat he stultiied himself by his public re-
nouuoement Of life long views Sudden
conversions are always open to suspicion
and in lugolls' csse there was added we'll

The pyramids were erected between 1900
and 5000 years before the Christian era,
and consequently are the oldest works Of
human labor in the world. The lower
stones are immense masses, brought from
a considerable distance, apparently with
out any such machinery as we rave now.
No one knows what mechanical means
were used, but it has latterly been guessed,
from the discovery of large circular holes
in some of the stones, that they had been
dragged along and hauled into place by
machinery. The question remains, What
sort of machinesi 1t has been calculated
that at the present time, with our ma
chinery worked by steam, 10000 men could
produce an exact facsimile of the great
pyramid of Cheops in ten years. 1t would
cost a large sum-, howeyer.-Thomas ].

A GOLDEN RIDDLE


The husbandman one golden morn
A white seed dropped among the corn
Beneath the summers mystic spell
It burst ere long the p~risoning shell,
And twtxt the brown loans rifted crust
Its emerald leaflets upward thrust
Through Iengthenlng days Of rain and shine
Fast grew and thrived the generous vine,
And meath the changing skies held up
For sun and dew It's golden cup,
Tin in its veins these forces hne
Had wrought a mystery divine
And given TO the world a boon
Fair rs the golden hearted moon.
The ruddy globe against the mold
outyied the fablsd crock Of gold
Zach day a ripper hue it gained,
And while the season waved and waned
Tall knights VIA staaming lance and sword
Guarded with osasels@ watch and ward.
Through midnight hush and MONDAY heat
The golden treasure al their feet
And when the crops were garnered In.
And granary and sAn and bin
with wealth of goodlier gold were stored
Than that which greedy misen hoard,
When glad lips sang the harvest home
Meath lowly roof aud lordIy dome,
And kith and kin, from great to least
Had gathered for the harvest feast
All, richer than the rarest wine
This yellow fruitage OF the vine,
Transmitted by the housewives skin
To golden disks with hAky fril
No fairer fruit the fields afford,
No cholcer Wand decks the board,
And grateful hearts their praises lift
To him who gives the golden gift

DIGGING A GRAVE.
But He Dropped the Spade to
Take the Truant Bridegroom's

But He Dropped the Spade to
Take the Truant Bridegroom's
Place.
| San Francisco Examiner.
/ On Sunday. at Los Angeles, Miss
Rillie Lee, daughter of wealthy
parents, who lives on First street, Boyle
Heights, expected to be Mrs. Rillie
Vaughn the next morning. The we'd
| ding was set for IL o'clock Monday, but
I at the appointed time the bridegroom
had failed to appear. The bride, very
pretty brunette, looked very sweet in
her wedding gown of white.
The minutes sped rapidly by and still
no bridegroom. The wedding was
postponed one hour.
1t appears that there were two young
men who wanted to marry Miss Lee.
Dick Vaughn was rich and managed to
win the consent of Miss Lee, while Dick
Elliott was poor and followed the I'M
lovely occupation of a grave-digger at
Evergreen cemetery. 1t is possible that
Elliott stood best in Miss Lees heart,
but circumstances decided in favor of
Vaughn.
Mrs. Vaughn, however, did not ap-
prove of her sons marriage, and de-
tanned him at home when she learned
the day and hour had been set, and sent
letter to the bride, waiting in her
bridal robes, that her son would not be
there.
The sister of the bride did not waste
any time thinking about the tickle BRIDE
groom, but took the next car for Ever
gren cemetery. She found Dick Eli
OFT digging grave. The young lady
told him that the field was clear. The
digging of the grave was intrusted to
another man, and Dick went home and
soon emerged dressed in his best suit of
clothes.
When he called at the home of Miss
Lee there. were cries of "Dick," ''Ril-
lie," and the next minute the two low
ers were locked in each others arms.
Il nearly made an awful mistake"
sobbed the bride.
Dick kissed away the tears, and it was
arranged that the grave digger and heir
ess should be married at 8 O'clock. The
ceremony took place at this time, and
there was great jollification.
