The mountain canyons play curious
pranks with the weather of towns sit
uated at their entrance. In Boulder
one day the sky was bright, the sun
was shining serenely and the air was
absolutely without motion. 1t was a
perfect morning. About 10 o'clock a
strange roar could be heard afar of in
the mountains. For half an hour it
grew louder and louder, but not q
breath of air stirred the dust on the
streets of the town.
Then there came a rush Of wind that
almost took men off their feet. For an
hour dust, sticks and scraps Of paper
were hurled with binding force. LO
eomotion was nearly impossible. Then
the wind leSsened, the atmosphere
cleared, and in a few moments the day
vas as placid as though the great
mountains had given no manifestation
of their mysterious forces.
The canyons act Is tunnels. They
gather the wind in the big end, as il
were, and shoot it out through the liz
tie end with its power multiplied q
dozen times. Iths a startling freak IN.

what It Costs to smoke.

DR.. f. Il. Nofsinger, Kansas City's
postmaster, does not smoke very much,
but he has nevertheless sent a number
of greenbacks up in clouds during the
past thirty years. The doctor is a com
Portable sort Of man and likes TO enjoy
the good things going. He does not
smoke more than five cigars a day-he
thinks more might be- injurious To his
health. This makes a total of $50 per
month. or 1.S00 in a year, witch num-
Der multiplied by thirty, the number
of years the doctor has been given to
the weed, gives a grand total Of 3,-
900.
These cigars retail a ten cents apiece
but DR.. Nofsinger buys them 10y the
hundred, and in that way the expense
Is but seven cents to the unit. At
Seven cents apiece the $4,000 cigars
smoked in thirty years would cost
$3.50. Had these been purchased at
ten cents apiece the expense would
have been =. 400. And in cOnsidera-
ton Of the fact that the postmaster is
a pretty good kind Of fellow he must
have given away about II, 900 worth.

How Rarnum was THANKED.

One day, a good many years ago, Mr..
Barnum and a party Of friends went to
Bethel, Conn, for an outing. As they
passed through the waiting room Of the
little railroad station they saw, huddled
up on n Of the benches, an old man,
infirm and poorly clad. He was in
fact, one Of the few persons in the town
who could fairly be classed as paupes
Mr.. Barnum knew him, as he knew
nearly everybody in Bethel, and he
stopped TO talk 20 the old fellow for .
moment. His friends had reached the
door Of the room when a grunt from
the old man caused them 10 loob
around.
Mr. Barnum had evidently taken Q
pinch Of snuff from the ancient's box,
and had then returned the receptacle
10 him with something added 10 it,

was following the upper course of the
Milk river and came suddenly face 70

to his shoulder, took careful aim and
shot the bear dead. The next moment
a second bear appeared from a rocky
den. The young hunter again made a
successful shot. To his surprise third

this one also, aud before he had time
to move from the spot bruin number
four appeared. 1t vas exciting sport,
TO be sure, but there were nor bears
than he cared 70 see at one time. How
ever, he made a good shot, and bruin
tumbled over, making four dead bears
While the huntsman stood watching
his game a fifth bear, larger than any
of the previous ones, came out of the
den and rushed forward. The young
man fired, but missed; and before he
could reload the infuriated beast wa
upon him! One blow of the huge paw
sent the gun flying from his grasp, bat
he quickly drew his hunting knife and
wounded bruin in the neck. In doing
TINS he received esevere squeeze from
the brute and a fearful bite on the
shoulder. Then he lost consciousness.
When he recovered his senses, hii
horse was between him and the bear.

bruin was making but feeble resistance,

An Indian Goldfish Pond.

Several Indians have been observed
around town peddling goldfish, which
they sold at twenty-five cents each. The
Indians are reaping a harvest at the
business. and strangers remark that
this is a mighty prosperous town where
she Indians go around selling goldfish.
1t has been something of a mystery 70
most people as TO where the source Of
supply existed that has proved such a
veritable bonanza to the meek and
lowly Siwash.
Judge J. G. Swan has discovered the
secret. He says that several years age
a vessel from Honolulu brought TO Port
Gamble a small lot Of these beautiful
fish, and not being able to dispose Of
them all dumped them into a pond
near Port Gamble. The fish continued
to thrive and multiply, and now the
Indians there have a monopoly of the
goldfish trade, and no doubt viii b

BATH BEACH. L. l., Sep. 29.-Dr. David
Re Waltoff of this place believes he is the
victim of a series of prosecutions insti-
gated by alleged enemies who are trying
to drive him from the town.
The latest development is a fire. sup
posed to be incendiary, which broke out
in the DOCTORS drug store, known as the
West End Pharmacy, yesterday. DR.. Ze
Waltoff was in New York at the time,
but his brother Gerald and the drug
clerk were both asleep in the store. Their
lives were saved by Henry Arens, a
neighbor, who broke into the store and
aroused the inmates.
Two years ago the drug store was
totally destr Dyed by fire at a loss of $780,
900, and since 1t was rebuilt several at
tempts to set it on fire again have been
made.
The doctor alleges that the persecution
began about two years ago. He was ar
rested on charge of criminal assault
preferred by Mrs. Becker, wife of Louis
Beiker, painter. The charge could not
be substantiated.
While the doctor was In jail Mr.. Becker
offered to settle the case If the defendant
would pay 81, 900 and leave the country.
The offer was Indignantly refused. Ze
Waltoff was atraigned before Justice
Church and was discharged. He was at
once rearrested on the same charge and
| was tried before Judge Cullen in Brook
| Ign, but was acquitted.
An attempt was then made to set fire
| to his residence and he removed to the
drug store and slept there. He has fire.
quently received "White Cap" notices,
but he paid no attention to them. About
a month ago the doctor was arrested,
he claimed illegally, on a warrant issued
| by Health Officer DeMund for allowing
water to stagnate under his drug store.
He proved that he was not responsible
for the cellar, as he only rented the store.
He believes the persecution will not stop
until he his driven from the town.
