Mollie, an old piebald mule, had re-
markable adventure in Cincinnati. Her
owner, Charles Cole, had led her into the
stable yard. Suddenly the treacherous
earth caved in and buried the animal
under y mass Of rock and dirt twenty
feet high. Cole escaped falling into the
pit An hour later the exhausted mule
showed her head 200 feet away ut the
mouth of sewer only two and one-half
feet in diameter. She was assisted in
emerging from the sewer. She had been
almost skinned alive. Her rough hide
was scanned and dotted with numberless
gashes from which the blood flowed.
Great bruises appeared on her sides and
abdomen. while her legs were so strained
that she could hardly stand.
Nevertheless Mollie was very much
alive, as she betrayed by "Yee-haw-w!
of triumph and a nonchalsnt twirl Of
her short tail. The animal had emerged
in ravine near Gilbert avenue. Her
trap through the rock bound sewer was
somewhat aided by the downward slope
of the channel and by the slight stream
of water which fabricated the masonry
OF the lower side Nevertheless, Mollie's
escape was a most surprising one, and
probably never equalled in the line Of
animal adventure. : Cincinnati En-

Among those who watched the Sher-
man funeral procession was little boy
to whom soldiers are delight, but too
young to see in the Grand Army veter-
ans anything except lot Of tiresome old
fellows whose endless lines were so long
in getting by that his mother took him
home before he had seen the glittering
uniforms for which his soul hungerea.
This Of course displeased the boy, and
that night he bitterly criticised the ar
rangement Of the procession, His fa-
theirs attempt to explain matters avs;:iad
nothing. Other processions, he said,
were much bester, for in them the sol
diers came first and the Grand Army
last, and little boys and their mammas
didn't lose anything by going home
early.
''Icould have stood it" he said at last,
''if those old men hadn't made their
bands play over and over a tune that
sounded like You've got to sec us!

us! That made me madF--New York

good deal It was true that Cray had

good deal. 1t was true that Gray had
been punished by the captains orders,
and that he had looked very strangely
afterwards, but all that was in war
times. The man had uttered No threat
so far as anybody knew.
1t struck me as thought about 1t that
Ross was in u bad fix. If Gray should
lay his plans well and dsecretly shoot him.
sometime, no jury would convict him on
such evidence as we had. The old war
time episode would so for nothing.
With this outline Of the inside history
of the case, the reader will understand
why the assassination nf Capt. Ross did
not surprise me.
Still, / do not expect everybody TO
jump to my conclusion that Private Gray
was the assassin Possibly Iwould have
some doubt about ii myself if had not
seen that deadly look when Gray passed
by the captain just after he had been re-
leased from his disgraeeful punishment.
The newspaper statement concerning
the short, squarely built stranger wac
was seen in the town where Ross lived
Just before the tragedy is enough for me.
Iknow that the stranger was Gray, and
] know that he killed the captain.
And vet all of this is too light and airy
to rise to the dignity of even circumstan.
tial evidence, 1t would not justify an
arrest, to say nothing Of an Indictment
But never mind about the evidence

Men Are Still at 1t.

More than century ago the Acade-
mie Royale des Sciences at Paris passed
a resolution that they would no longer
entertain communications about dis
coyeries Of perpetual motion. They
included in the same prohibition the
duplication Of the cube. the trisection
of the angle and the quadrature of the
circle. Men had worked for centuries
on the theory that the discovery Of
perpetual motion was possible, nor did
this authoritative opinion to the con-
trary alter their views. And they ara
still working at it, and probably will to
the end of time, Hundreds Of patents
have been granted for machines for the
purpose, and the widespread and con.
tinued existence Of the fallacy is clearly
shown by the scores of designs and in

Through the Good Nature Of Some Col.
lere students 1t Comes True.
On the waters Of Buszard's bay plies
busily from one fishing ground to an
other little boat which has peculiar
history.
Several years ago an old negro went
TO the shores Of this bay to make liy
ing for himself and lis wife. They
were very poor, but their cabin was
clean and Uncle Dempsy was the most
honest and jolly of fishermen, with all
the kindly courtesy of his race.
He knew every foot OF the shore
could tell by certain mysterious signs
known only to himself just when the
blueiish would go out or the sque.
leagues come in, and could guide the
boats directly to the lodges where the
rock bass had hidden.
The boatmen who took out parties
of amateur fishermen always secured
Dempsy as a helper when they could
get him, in order to use his marvellous
skill, They paid him but a trife for
his services.
The old couple did not grow rich
Indeed, they had hard struggle 70
live, One summer Dempsy was hired
at a low late by boatman, who took
out almost every day the same party, a
half dozen young men from Harvard
on their vacation,
The young fellows became fond OF
the patient, kindly old man to whom
they owed the success of their fishing
One day they said to him, What do
you want in this world, DempsyP
His eyes twinkled.
"a boat, sah," he said promptly
"a big boat Hold twenty gem'men.
/ dreamed bout fiat boat las night.
! dreamed ! come out in my cabin
m DAN it was in de cove, anchored
Dat boat d cost two hundred dollahs

Painted white, wild blue stripe m a
white m blue flag, n cabin all com.
plete. Ell dat boat had been real
Uncle Dempsy d been rich fob de rest
OBJ his life"
The Young men laughed and left
Dempsy in his cabin. Then one Of
them said:
''We have plenty of money to waste
on our own amusement. We can afford
to do this thing. We owe much to the
old man, and this boat will give him
livelihood for the rest of his days.
What do you say, boys!'
The result was that one of them ran
down by train to New Bedford that
afternoon 1t was easy to find boat
answering the description which the
old man had given, and to order her to
be painted white and blue.
Aweek later the old negro was reused
at daylight by q tremendous pounding
on his door, He came out. Nohuman
being was in sight; but on the bay, an
chored just in front of his cabin, was
big boat, painted white and blue, and
on the stern in gilt letters the name

ARE YOU LOOKING
 For a Home?
Do you want to accept the chance of a lifetime and purchase property now which will be worth dou- ble it's present value in another year?

The tide of emigration has turned to- ward Arizona, intelligent people no longer confOund Arizona" with terror ism, rapine and Indian massacres, but find themselves compelled to accept the fact that Arizona" is the home of the cultured and refined. Every State in the Union has contributed its quota of their best citizens 10 populate this Ter ritory, and to complete the labor of those who twenty years ago began the dangerous work of establishing the new regeme. The Salt River Valley is the garden spot of Arizona, built upon the ruins of Aztec greatness, and converted into a veritable paradise by immense artificial waterways. Its 100000 acres, half of which is already under cultiva- ton, will in few years more be the most densely populated area, and the home of the happiest and most con tented subjects of this great Republic.
 Phoenix, the capital of the Territory, containing 5000 souls, lies in the center of this wonderful valley, and is destined to be the principal city of the South west. Two railroads are already build ing here; one is already here. Persons intending to settle down and lGild themselves homes should not fail [ .n- quire into the advantages and possibil- bilities of this valley. Commissioner of Emigration Hamilton in his annual re- port said of this valley; "It contains the largest body of agricultural land to be found between Kansas and Caliior- mia. The soil is one of the richest to be found in the United States. In fruits it produces;
 Oranges, Figs, Walnuts, Quinces, Ap- ples, Lemons, Pomegranates, Nectarines, Cherries, Pecan Nuts, Lines, Bananas, Peaches, Pears, Strawberries, Olives, Almonds, Apricots, Plums, Peanuts.
 "Mulberries and other small fruits and grapes of every variety.
 "Of cereals and grasses the valley pro- duces the following
 Wheat, Oats, Barley, Corn, Buck wheat, Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Flax, Sugar Cane, Alfalfa, Blue Grass, Der muda Grass, Millet, Timothy, Clover, Broom Corn.
 Briefly it may not inaptly be termed . beautiful oasis which stretches be- tween the corn fields of Kansas and the groves and vineyards of Southern Cal ifornia."
