AN OBSTINATE WOMAN.

How She 'as Cured Of ScoldIng
When the Duck ng-Ssool Failed.
There is a tradition OF a Gloucester
hire scold whose obstinate DISPOSE

'sousing'' III the village horse pond
Ter husb,uM exclaimed: "Mollyl
Molly! Wool thee promise 1 never to

recovered her breath she replied in a.
laundering voice OF moroseness: "No,
| won't do nothing o. tn zort!" Molly.
had another souse, and the husband
met with the same acrimonious re.
spouse to his anxious interrogation.
The sousing was repeated, but Molly
continued to be obdurate and contn-
macious. "You may drown l." shout
ed Molly, t'but / wool never give in"
they did not run the risk of drowning
Molly, but released her, for the ms.
band was convinced that she would
rather drown than refuse to Wapa her
red rag at un' whenever she fell IN
cilned to DO so. It did not cure
Molly. She became as great % scold
us ever she had been before her public
'sousing." Some years after that
punishment the lord Of The
manor met John at, a cOnrt faot arl
inquired: We'll, John, how dnas

Three Men Killed,

BUTTE, Mont., Feb. 28-Two fatal
accidents by which three men we're
killed occurred 1.-TWO of the Anaconda
mines yerterday. Both were the result of
falling ground. The names of the dead
are: -
JAMES KANE,
THOMAS CARROLL,
FRANK G.. DOYLE. .
Kane was working on the third floor,
During the morning q blast was put in
on the fifth floor. The explosion loos-
ened the earth below. When the fore
man noticed il he despatched men to
bring timber and bilkhead the loose
ground. While they were after the
timber, Che cavein occurred, completely
burying Kane. An alarm was given
and in half an hour the dead body was
hoisted to the surface. A few minutes
after this accident the news that some
men had been killed in the Bell mine
became known. It happened by a big
slide of rock. When the men (two)
were dug out they were found to be
badly crushed. Carroll's neck was
broken. While the slide occurred Doyle
screamed. It was this that attracted
the attention of others working in the
mine.
