His Third Punishment.

The story is told of missionary
who, as an old Vermont farmer re-
marked, shas been unfortunate in
his wives" This missionary had
married in this country and taken
his wife with him to India. There,
after two years she died, and tho
broken-hearted widower received
permission from the Missionary
Board of his church to come home.
Here he promptly consoled himself,
and with his seconed spouse re-
turned to the field of his former
labor. But fate was still unkind,
and at the end of a year he was once
more bereaved. Again he besoughs
the permission of his board to re-
turn home, but this time they gently
but firmly declined, saying that
they did not feel justified in the ex-
pense of giving him two vacations
within two years. They suggested,
delicately, however, that if his de-
sire was to recoup himself for his
recent loss it was possible for him
to deputize friend to secure for
him q new partner of his Joys and
sorrows. This he accordingly did,
and after considerable correspond
ence and sundry delays the twice
bereaved husband received word
that the bride selected for him was
on her way to his arms. The day
the steamer was signaled the BRIDE
groom went down to meet it, ac-
companied by married friend. On
the return of the latter to his house
he was pounced upon by his wife,
who demanded all the particulars
of the meeting. "Did DR.. Smith
seem much overcome when he saw
Miss Brown?" was the first question.
"Well-yes-a little" Wasn't he
overjoyed?" "Well-overjoyed is
not just the word, perhaps" Why,
did't he say he was delighted?"
"Well-no-not exactly. "But, at
least, he seemed pleased?" "Well,
l don't quite know" "For mercy's
sake, tell me just what he did say
and do" "Well'-with evident re.
luctance-"when he saw her she
was at the other end of the deck
and she was pointed out to him by
the friend she had travelled with.
Smith looked at her for minute,
and then he passed his hand over
his eyes and I heard him murmur:

Gamblers Paradise.

This place is the gamblers Meccs

mining camp in the world. Mining
camps are the acknowledged prey
of the men who make their living
by games of chance, and hence the

''game" stalked and easily obtained,
With the Anaconda, Boston and
Montana, Parrot, Lexington, Alice
and other big paying mines in oper-
alton, the monthly pay roll is over
$50O,O0O. A greater part of this
runs up against the bank" Three
shifts of eight hours each are
worked each day in the various
mines, and while one shift is work
ing another is sleeping, and the
third gambling.
The gambling-houses are licensed
and run faro games and "round the
table" poker. Roulette, red and
black, wheel of fortune, hazard, or
any game with q "kitty" or per-
centage drawback are forbidden.
Day and night shifts of dealers are
worked. Faro.bank dealers work
for wages-$6 per day, and "eat out
of the drawer" The limit in most
houses is $12 so, while other pro-
prietors with more "sand" allow
their patrons to bet as high as their
evil genii urge. From dawn to dawn

there is hardly any cessation. Butte
is essentially an "all night" town.
It's day all day in the daytime and
there is no night in Butte.
At this season of the year, while
the snow is still on the ground, the
city is overrun with the gambling
fraternity. AS summer opens up

Worked by the Jesuits.

An old shaft has been discovered
near the Tumscacori church ruins,
near Tubac. It shows signs of hav-
ing been filled in with earth and
rock to within twelve feet of the
surface. The shaft is about ten by
twelve feet, and the marks of the
drill are very clear. It is thought
by the discovers, James Fisher and
two Mexicans Of Nogales, that it is
the old Tumacacorri mine, of which
so much has been said and which
has been so persistently sought for
many years.
I Tradition is that the Jesuit fathers
with the Indians discovered very
rich mine, which they worked for
years, unta the murdarous A paches
pressed them So hard that they
filled up the mine and obliterated
all traces of it until such time as
they could peacefully and safely
renew operations. Their expecta-
tions were never realized, for the
Apaches at last overwhelmed and
wiped them out of existence.
The crumbling walls of the old
church still remain, though fast
fading away, 4 mute reminder that
all things have an ending, a monu-
ment to the fortitude, religious zeal
and unselfish devotion of the Jesuit
pioneers in their attempt to civilize
and christianize the most savage
and barbarous being that the world
has ever produced.-Arizona Re-

anything more, that is for several
days afterward:: What else occurred
that night I can only tell you from
what heard when I got we'll.

what l heard when got we'll.
FOUND THE TAIL MAN.
It seems that when the men had
drawn their revolvers to fire at me
as | swung at the other end of the
rope some one of them remembered
having seen the tall stranger Of
whom / had spoken, and whose
height made him remarkable. He
had adanggested that they let me down
again and endeavor to verify my
statement. If l had lied to them
he said they would have another
hanging bee. They did this and
took me back to the hotel, still in
sensible. Then they went off to the
mine had mentioned without wait
ing for daylight, to find the tall
stranger. Somebody at the camp
told them that he was there and
showed them where he slept. They
walked in as unceremoniously as
they had walked in upon me, and
interrogated him at the points of
their pistols. He told them he had
met me on the street and asked me
for a supper and nights lodging,
and that ! had given them to him.
He said that he had not slept we'll,
because the bed was not long enough
for him to rest comfortably upon,
and so he had awakened off and on
through the night. He swore that
| had not left the room while he was
in it, and that he had not left until
about daybreak. This proved my
alibi, and | was safe.
Those men who had taken me out
in the dark night and hanged me
to a tree, came back to the hotel
where was lying and treated me
like a brother. 1t was several days
before regained consciousness and
when I did l had the old apopletic
feeling in my head and the iron
collar about>my throat. My neck
was badly cut, as you may see from
the scar that remains. The pain
was so intense that / wanted to die,
and would have killed myself if l
could. But the hands which were
strong and willing to pull at the
rope were just as strong and will
ing and far more tender to hold me
in bed in my rawlings and to care
for the man whom they had brought
so near to the gates of eternity.
It was four weeks before l re-
covered sufficiently to be able to
get about. During that time no
sick man ever received more care
full nursing than / did from those
rough fellows. They seemed to try
by kindness to make amends for
the evil they had wrought me. In
two more wseks I was able to travel.
My roll of money had been given
back to me; but when l asked for
my bill the landlord said l did not
owe a cent, that everything had
been paid. And, as he was one of
the vigilantes, I suppose he had
stood portion of the expense.
Well, | came east and have never
since had any desire to see anything
of the wild life of the west. It may
be that, as they say, when a man is
hanged he does not suffer pain.
Perhaps in legal execution the fall
of the drop jerks his senses away
from him. But | assure you that
l had pain, and such severe pain
that l would rather die by almost
any other death than to be hanged
again.
