Unexpected Good Fortune.

Accident in making what afterward
turns out TO be good investment is al
ways an interesting theme OF discussion.
An instance is cited where young man
went to Tacoma on a flying visit in the
early days of the place, when the
principal part of the town was its name.
He was there only few hours, but in
that time was induced to buy several
lots for almost nothing. Those lots
made fortune for him so suddenly that
he could hardly realize that it was pos
sible. Mark Sheldon, the wealthy real
estate owner of San Francisco, made
his fortune out of bad debt. He had
grown rich and poor in several ventures,
and when hard pressed once tried to
collect all the money that was due him.
One debtor was unable to give him a
cent, but compromised his debt by
handing over to Mr.. Sheldon some sand
lots in what is now Market street, San
Francisco. Sand lots were not very
valuable in those days. and Mr.. Sheldon
found no opportunity to dispose of his
until he saw that he might make a
pretty sum out of them. So he held on
to them, and there is no more valuable
real estate in the Golden Gate city to-
day than these once worthless lots.

Disappointed.

In Massachusetts town live worthy
couple who have so far obeyed the
Scriptural injunction to increase and
multiply that they have eight sons, of
whom the Oldest is not much over a
dozen years of age. They are bright
and lively little folk, and play together
with the greatest zest, only now and
then falling into some disagreement
when one or the other pair of twins does
not approve of the general scheme of
play.
It CHANGED, not long since, that to
this interesting family there came a
still further addition in the shape of a
baby sister. The father and mother
were delighted that there should be a
girl in the family. 1t was accordingly
with smiling face that the father went
to make the announcement to the little
fellows, who at the moment were all to-
gether in the breakfast-room.
Boys" he said, joyously, "you have
a darling little baby sister"
There was look of blank disappoint-
ment on every face and a moment of
profound silence. Then excitable s.
year-old Master Tommy spoke for them
all by exclaiming, explosively:
ooh dear, dear; that is too bad; it
Just spoils our baseball nine!"

Mortality In European Armies.

Some curious details have just BEEN
published on the relative mortality
among European troops during time of
peace. The Spanish troops give the
highest standard of mortality, and that,
not because the soldiers are weakly so
much as that the sanitary arrangements,
are inadequate or neglected. The
deaths represent Is in 1000. Russia
comes next; but the interval is large.
The mortality is about 9 In 1000. Then
follow the Italians, with liza. So far,
The series is almost what q shrewd OBJ
server might guess it would be. What
follows Is more perplexing and more
interesting. Austrian, French, English,
Belgian, and German-that is the
order. In round numbers the deaths
Of Austrian soldiers are in the Thousand
seven; of French, six; of English, a
little over five; of Belgians, q little
over four, and of Germany, little
under four. The raYages of consump-
ton are enormously greater In the case
Of British soldiers than of any other
nationality, and in this case the French,
are the most favored.

A simple Automatic Disinfeoror.

A Liverpool man has perfected very
simple and effective method of promot-
ing sanitation which promises to be Of
much service. His device consists of a
simple bottle of disinfecting fluid with
a special discharging pipe. The bottle
is placed neck downward in the flushing
basin of the house drainage system, aud
whenever flushing takes place the dis
infectant fluid begins to flow, and tea-
spoonful or so is delivered into the
flushing water. At other times there is
no discharge from the disinfecting tax
ing place only at the time when it Is
needed-during flushing. Some of the
English health officers have given much
approval to the idea, and have tested it
thoroughly.

Ike . leaf for fully three minutes be-
fore the silence was broken by q groan.
Then it came to me that the robbers had
fallen through the open door upon the
cord leading to my gun. Istruck match,
lighted my own candle, and going to
the openining saw three bodies lying
below. Running back to the bedroom
to recharge my revolver, I then went
downstairs to investigate.
It was as suspected. The three
had pitched down together. The top
of ones head mad been blown off by the
shot, a second had hole In his chest
as big as your fist, while the third, who
who was responsible for the groans,
was severely wounded in both legs. 1t
was three months before he could be
put on trial, and he then got four years
in prison. The whole thing was q put
up Job. The "drover" was q Chicago
burglar called %Clawhammer Dick, :"
and he had hidden himself in the store
that night, and then let his pals in by
the back door. They had horse and
wagon In the rear of the building, and
the plan was to rob the store of goods
as well as to get at the money in the
safe. A bit of carefulness on my part
not only saved the store and probably
my life, but wiped out very desperate
gang.

DeIiciOusIy Sad.

A friend of mine, the younger mem
bers of whose family are given to using
senseless phrases much affected by the
youth of this good old town, tells me
that, after many futile efforts, he sue
ceeded in so forcibly bringing the alb
surdity of the habit to their attention
that they have in a measure dropped it,
says writer in the Boston Post. With
them every new thing was "awfully"
sweet, every social gathering they at
tended lawfully" jolly. One evening
he came home with budget of news.
A friend of his had failed in business.
He spoke of the incident as %deliciously"
sad. He had ridden uptown in the car
with noted raconteur and wit, whom
he described as horribly entertaing,
and, to cap the climax, he spoke of
some butter which had been set before
him at country hotel as "divinely"
rancid.
II should think, papa" said his eldest
daughter, shat you were out of your
head" Not the least, my DEAR" he
said pleasantly. "Im merely trying to
follow the fashion. I worked out
'divinely' rancid, with good deal of
labor. It sees, 'awfully sweet and
goes one better. You'll find me in the
swim hereafter. And now" he added,
"let me help you to a piece of this
'deliciously' tough beef" Adverbs are
not as much misused in his family as
they were, at least not in his hearing

ENDURANCE.

How much the heart may bear. and yet not
breaki
How much the flesh may suffer, yet not diet
1 question much If any pain or ache
OF souI or body brings our end more nish;
Death chooses his own time; till that 10 sworn,
All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons knife,
Each nerve recoIiing from the cruel steel
Whose edge seems searching for the quivering
life
Yet TO our sense the bitter paDgs reveal
That still, although the trembling flesh be torn,
This also can be borne.
We see sorrow rising in our way,
And try to fee from the approaching i'll,
We seek some small escape, we weep and pray
But when the blow falls, then our hearts are
still;
Not that the pain is of its sharpness shorr
But that 1t can be borne.
We-wind our life about another's life,
We hold it closer, dearer than our own;
Anon it faints and falls in deathly strife
Leaving us stunned, and stricken and alone;
But ali we do not die with those we mourn;
This alone can be borne.
Beholdl We live through all things-famine,
thirst,
Bereavement pain; all grief and misery,
All woe and SORROW life inhicts its worst
On soul and body, but we cannot die,
Though we be sick, and tired, and faint, and
worn,
Iol all things can be borne.

but I did not see it. Il vas & rather
chilly night in October, and we had no
fires yet. and Is I got under the blankets
the warmth was SO grateful that I soon
fell asleep.
II was the first night I had gone to
bed without thinking of robbers and
wondering how l should act in case
they came in. I did not know when
1 fell asleep. suddenly found myself
upright IN bed, and there was an echo
In the store, as if the fall of something
had aroused me. It was 1 o'clock, and
I had been asleep almost three hours.
Leaning on my elbow I strained my
ears to catch the slightest sound, and
after a minute I heard movement
down stairs. While I could not say
what it was, sort of instinct told me
that it was made by some human being.
Everything on the street was as silent
as the grave My window curtain was
up, and 1 could see that the sky had
thickened and was very black. L did
not wait for the noise to be repeated. L
was just as sure that some one was In
the store as if had already seen him,
and l crept softly out of bed, drew on
my trousers and moved out into the big
room, having the revolver in my hand.
There was no door at the head of the
stair. I intended to go there and listen
down the stairway.
AS l was moving across the room,
which was then pretty clear of goods as
far as the trap door. suddenly recol-
lected this opening and changed my
course to reach it. It was terribly dark
in the room, and one unfamiliar with
the place would not have dared to move
foot Half way to the trap got down
on hands and knees, and as l reached
the opening settled down Oh my
stomach. There was dim light down
stairs. That settled the fact that some
one was in the store. After a minute I
heard whispers, then the movement OF
feet, then certain sound which located
the intruders to foot They were at
the safe In the front of the store.
I drew myself forward and looked
down the opening. I could see lighted
candle and two or three dark figures at
the safe, and could hear the combina-
ton being worked. Ny first thought
was to drop my hand down and open
fire in their direction, but L remem-
bered that we had so many articles
hanging up that no bullet had chance
of hitting the men. was wondering
what to do, when I heard one of the
men whisper:
Its all nonsense. We might work
here a week and not hit it,"
"But l told you to bring the tools and
you wouldn't, protested another.
"Oh, dry upl" put in third voice.
what we want to do is to go up and
bring that counter hopper down, and
