Took a Wife From Bevy of Paupers.

James Dunlop, a we'll to. do farmer,
living near Bonneville, Mo-, recently
went to the County Poor Farm and
selected a wife from among the paupers
there being cared for. He said that he
had no time to be going courting among
women and thought he could get Just as
good wife from the Poor Farm as any
where else. An account says: "Dun-
lop, after looking over the assembled
women, selected Mrs. johnson, who has
been resident there for several years
He told Mrs. johnson that he was look
ing for a good woman to become his
wife and take care of his house for him,
and if she was willing he would marry
her at once and they could 90 right
home. Mrs. johnson accepted him on
the spot, and the couple came to town,
where the ceremony was performed by
the Probate Judge. Dunlop has since
been in town and says that he is per-
fectly satisfied, andAhinks he has found
a good wife, even though from the
County Farm. Mrs. johnson was the
wife OF a prosperous farmer who lost all
his possessions several years ago and
died, leaving her penniless. She was
partly crippled and could not support
herself, and consequently was COM
PEELED to become burden to the county,
although she was most estimable

People who think that the free pass
business is carried to extremes in the
United States should note how they do
il in Russia. The Railroad Gazette says
that the Russian railroads have been ac-
customed to give free passes not only to
their employees, but to relative of their
employees, practice which may have
been heard on this side of the Atlantic.
The term ''relatives," however, has been
found to be extremely elastic, and re-

Its foot down and issued positive orders
that hereafter passes will be granted to
no other relatives of employees than their
wives, though triiing reduction of
seventy per cent. on tie prices of tickets
will be made to parents, brothers and
sisters of employees and of their wives, but
all aunts, cousins and stepmothers must
pay full fares. If your brother receives
a salary of as much as $3.50 from the
company, you can get your discount only
on first-class tickets; if he has from $50
to $3.50, you have second-class tickets |;

Professor Jameson, of Brown Univer.

mansions on the James River in Vir-
ginia, especially those at Shirley, West.
over and Upper and Lower Brandon.
This region and the country about Will
iamsburg, which the professor designates
as "the quaintest place in the English
portion of America" was once a virgin
field of discovery for the seeker after old
colonial furniture. Many raro find of
ancient mahogany tables and sideboards
has been made thereabouts, and quaint
Chippendalc chairs used to be found
there in numbers-intcresting objects of
treasures. .trove that could be secured for
the proverbial song. But time has
changed all that, and such articles when
discovered there now are held at fair
price. II is said that much of this sort
of colonial furniture may be obtained
nowadays in parts of Kentucky, rare
pieces having been inherited by the
present generation Of Kentuckians from
their Virginia ancestors.

Platte River and network of iron rails,
bright and shining, as the train ran
shrieking into the labyrinth of its des.
tination.
"This is Denver" said the lad to her,
sand I'll look after you as well as 1
can"
''I won't be no burden" she said
brightly. "I've twenty dollars yet, an
that's sight of money"
The train halted to let the eastward
bound express pass; there was an air of
excitement in the car, passengers getting
ready to depart, gathering up luggage
and wraps, and some watching the new
corners and the rows of strange faces on
the outward bound.
The door of the car slammed suddenly,
and big bearded man with eager blue
eyes came down the aisle, looking sharply
from right to left. He had left Denver
on the express to meet this train. His
glance fell on the tiny black figure.
"Why, Aunt Hannahl" he cried, with
a break in his voice, and she-she put
out her trembling hand and fell into the
big arms, tears streaming down the
wrinkled face.
al knowed Providence would let me
find ye, SAM" she said brokenly, and no
one smiled when the big man sat down
beside her and with gentle hand wiped
her tears away.
"Why, I've sent John twenty dollars
a month for five years for you," he said
angrily, as she told him why she ran
away, land he said you could not write,
for you had a stroke and was helpless,
and have written often and sent you
money. It's hard for man to called his
own brother a villain.
'We wun't, Sam," she said gently,
"but just furgit; and 1 wouldn't be a
burden to ye, fur can work yit, an for
years to come"
"Work, indeed don't I owe you
everything9" he cried. "And my wife
has longed for you to come. There are
50 few dear old auuts in this country,
they're priced, tell you. Why, it's as
good as a royal court of arms to have q
dear handsome old woman like you for a
relation"
Then he found out who sent the tele-
gram and paid the lad, who blushed and
stammered like girl and did not want
to take it.
81 suppose you want job," said the
big man. "Well, can give you one.
Pm in the food commission business.
Give you something lght9 Lots of your
sort, poor lad, out here. All the refer
ence want is that little kindness of
yours to Aunt Hannah"
"Here's the depot, Aunt Hannah, and
you won't see bars and Iniuns' nor the
buffaloes; supniest city you ever set your
dear eyes on"
He picked up the carpet bag, faded
and old fashioned, not bit ashamed of
it, though it looked as if Noah might
have carried it to the ark.
They said goodby, aud the last seen of
her was her happy old face beaming
from a carriage window as she rolled
away to what all knew would be a
pleasant home for all her waning years.

No Wonder Iudiaus Are Dying Out.

The conversation had drifted on to
Indians, and apropos of the topic a lum-
herman in the office remarked that at the
last camp on Prairie River, from which
he had just returned, he had seen a
goodly group of these noble abongines
camped near the lumber shanties.
"They came to look after horse,' said
he. "Lost horsel" "No, we lost one /;
got killed, and they came down to cut
aim up" "What forH" why, to eat
him.. they stayed right by the carcass
and hung up and dried every pound Of
meat on him. Queer how they found it
out. The horse hadn't been dead twenty
four hours before the whole tribe were
after him; crows cou dn't have done bet
ter"
"That's nothing" said au old logger
standing by. 'Last winter six horses
died in our camp of epizootic, aud I'll
be hanged if they didn't pick the bones
of every one OF them clean. There is no
trouble in accounting for the rapid re-
duction of the Indian population when

Fruit Prices in Pioneer Days.

The early fruit growers of Oregon had
a wonderful market for few years ut
San Francisco. In 1854 500 bushels OF
apples were shipped from Oregon to
California, and returned net profit of
from S1.50 to ~ per pound. In 1855
the shipments rose to 5000 bushels,
which sold at from 500 to $50 bushel.
IN 1856 the shipments rose to 20, 900
boxes. Even in this year big prices were
received, and for choice fruit fancy fig
ures were obtained, one box of Esopus
Spitzenbergs selling for $50. The Cali
fornians planted apple-trees, and after
1860 the shipments of apples from Ore
gon began to decline. Apple. raising was
more profitable than gold-mining for the
first half dozen years Of the industry in
Oregon.-Eugene (Oregon) Guard.

New Mexico has very wide range Of
climate. The temperatures registered in
the Territory during January varied con-
siderably over 100 degrees. The hot
test place during the month was La Luz,
Dona Ana County, where the ther.

one day, and the mean temperature for
the month was 60.7 degrees. At Dulce,
Rio Arriba County, the mercury on one
chilly January day crawled down to
thirty-two degrees below zero, and its
record for the month in that bracing
spot was 16 degrees below zero.

A GOLDEN HOUR


A beckoning spirit of gladness seemed
a1oat
That lightly danced in laughing air before
us;
The earth was all in tune and you note
OF Natures happy chorus.
Twas like a vernal morn, yet overhead
The leahess boughs across the lane were
knitting:
The ghost of some forgotten Spring, we said.
Ger Winters world comes fitting.
Or was it Spring herself, that, gone astray,
Beyond the alien frontier chose to tarry2
Or but some bold outrider of the May,
Some April-emissary9
The apparition faded on the air,
Capricious and incalcu able conner
Wilt thou too pass and leave my chill days
bare,
And falpn my phantom Summer?

The idea of the bicycle railroad finds
favor at Seattle. A line is soon to be
constructed between that city and Taco
ma. The contract calls for its compile
ton within a year. The following de-
scription is given of the road: "There
will be two tracks, each of a single line
of steel rails. A timber will be laid on
the ground across the width of both
tracks at intervals of twenty feet, and
across these, lengthwise of the track,
10x12-inch stringers viii be laid, to
which the rails will be spiked. To each
end of the sills will be bolted upright
timbers 2x1S inches and eighteen feet
high, with 4x6-inch braces. These up
rights will be connected overhead by a
cap, which will support 4x6-inch
wooden guide-rail, directly above each
line Of rails. The cars will run on
wheels under their centre on the single
line of rails, and, when running on a
straight track, will be held upright by
their own impetus. When rounding
curves, however, the cars will be held
upright by two rubber wheels affixed to
their roofs and running one on each side
of the guide-rail, while third rubber
wheel will revolve against the under side
of this rail, pressing against it and keep
ing it in position. 1t is intended in the
course of few years TO replace the tim
bers with steel superstructure. Steam
power will be used, but ultimately cleo
tricity will be the motive power"
