THE LAME WALK.
A Backw Oodsman said to Cure by
Laying On of Hands.

BANGOR, (Me.,) March 25.-General
interest is being excited here by the
marvellous cures wrought by William
Brown, an aged backwoodsman who
lives near Fort Kent, in the Aroostock
region, and who had not been out of
the woods for thirty-six years until
last week, when he came to Bangor,
accompanied by prominent resident
OF Holton.
Brown has cured several persons
who were crippled simply by rubbing
his hand over their bodies, and several
cures performed by him last Sunday
are the talk OF the city. He instantly
cured two men OF rheumatism by rub
bing their limbs. A crippled stable
boy was treated by Brown, and in a
few minutes was dancing about APP
parently cured. A wellknown Judge.
who was also treated for an ailment,
expressed himself as greatly sur
prised.
In the afternoon Brown visited the
home Of Aza Warren prominent resi-
dent, and worked his most remarkable
cure on his son, Willie Warren, who
was born crippled and who had been
on crutches for nearly a year. After
Brown had kneaded and rubbed his
flesh for fifteen minutes the boy
dropped his cruthes and later went up
stairs without assistance. Brown knows
nothing OF spiritualism or religion.

Rrave Seattle Girls.

Two brave Seattle girls, Miss Mar
guerite Murphy and Miss Amelia
Emonds, unattended by male escorts,
have gone over into Mason county,
this State, and filed on land. To-
getber they have taken the west hall
OF Section 20 OF that county, which is on
the shelton road. They went over
last week and are now ensconced in
their cosy cabins, built close together
for mutual protection in true ranchers'
fashion. Miss Murphy, who is a niece
of Police Officer Murphy, of this city,
has taken with her an organ and other
musical instruments with which to
while away the evening hours. A
faithful shepherd dog guards the cabins
to announce the advent Of friend or foe
alike.-Telegraph.

How 20 Get Rich.

A wicked exchange says that moth
ing is more easy than to get rich. 1t
is only to trust nobody, befriend none,
get all you can and save all you get,
to stint yourself and everybody be-
longing to you, to be the friend OF no
man and have no man for your friend. /.
to heap interest cent upon cent, to be
mean, miserable and despised for
some twenty or thirty years, and riches
will come as sure as disease, disap-
pointment and death. And when
pretty nearly enough wealth is collect
ed by disregard Of all the charities Of
the human heart, and at the expense OF
every enjoyment, death will finish the
work-the body is buried, the heirs
dance and fight over what you have
left and the spirit will go-where :?
BY all means get rich; it will pay

story Of aoIden Locks.

A pathetic incident was called TO my
attention by one of my clerks the
other morning. He had received in
the mail a glove box, which when
opened revealed lot OF fluffy golden
hair in two pieces. 1t was really
beautiful hair, and lay in pretty rings.
A letter came with the box offering to
exchange the hair for years sub
scription to my magazine. The writer
is Kansas girl, not very well edu-
Gated but very ambitious. She wrote
that she had no money, and believ-
ing her hair to be of some value, Of
fered it for the magazine. 1t struck
me as being one OF the most pathetic
things ever heard Of. What did |
do? Why, | sent the hair back and
put her name on my subscription

A Fortune In Coin.

The inventory Of the effects of Mrs.
Marie Victorine Marionneaux, aged "
years, who died recently at Plaque
mine, La, shows an interesting collec-
ton OF money. Over $4,000 was
found in her house, SIC, ,060 in gold and
the balance in paper, silver and nickels.
There were $9l As in nickels, 500 in
dimes, slSS in quarters, besides dol
lars, half dollars, half dimes and few
foreign pieces. The wealth was partly
inherited from her father, partly from
her sister, and the rest was amassed
from the earnings of Milly plantation,
on Bayou Plaquemine. Nearly all the
gold was tied with homespun thread
in rolls Of 800 and inclosed in pickle
Jars, which were buried about the

making desperate fight for existence.

Home from Two standpoinss.

The dream of most mems lives is to
have wife and a home, but how
many Of them make personal sacrifices
for the happiness of those wives. and
how many OF them help to make OF
those homes anything higher or bet
ter than places in which to eat and
sleep? heard man say the other
day to the woman who loved him
when she demonstrated with him for
being away from home; THAT is as
il should be, my dear. Mans place
is out in the world it is where he be-
longs. And when come home, be it
day or night, want to find my little
wife here-here where she belongs"
Whereupon the little wife, not being
one OF the two credulous ones, laughed
irreverently- /" Homo ia the -plaHa for
a wife," she said, nodding her pretty
head sagely," and it is the place in
which a husband should spend his
leisure time. West Shore.

seven OF them and he had only his six

he had succeeded in laying low the

had then one charge left, and the re-

Quick as thought he opened his pocket
knife, held it up in front OF the pistol

knife split the bullet in halves, each
killing one OF his foes, and the hero
thus saved his scalp. This is his own

Closed Down,

All the mines belonging to the Ana
conda Mont Company, the greatest
copper-producer in the world, have
shut down because of a disagreement
on rates with the Montana Union rail-
way, which hauls the ore from Butte
to the smelters. The smelters will
follow the example of the mines as
soon as the ore on hand is treated.
The shutdown will throw 5000 men

Dominick Briden and William Ir-

it has been alleged that the lost Brey-

that they carefully inspected the dis
trict and that its merits have been
greatly exaggerated. There are many

and is of too low grade TO be worked
