They Looked solemn.

Down on South Broadway, standing
beside stairway which leads upstairs
to the office of an electro-medical COM
pany, there stands lite glass case in
which is displayed the life-size figure of
a human leg from the thigh down.
The other day two very well-dressed
young men were standing in front of
the case. Two or three other people
were staring over their shoulders to see
what it was made the noise.
Finally one young man said to the
other, very solemnly:
''In five minutes the leg will begin to
move ... r..a
His companion looked at him very
wisely, pursed his lips and nodded his
head. Then they both walked away
The other people stood in front of the
case for half an hour waiting for the
leg to move. Suddenly a thought seemed
to strike one of them. Then the same
thought occurred to another member of
the group and so, one by one. they
silently moved away--N. Y. World.

While waiting to be served the drum

from the barkeeper that it was the
customer who had died.

They Found Rich Fields but Never Ru.
turned To the Pacific Coast.
The discovererS of the Cariboo gold
fields, in British Columbia, from which
dust and nuggets worth sixty million
dollars have been taken, are unknown.
Thomas Seward, a fruit-grower living
near Lytton, relates a story of how he
just missed being one of the discover
ers and of the probable fate OF those
men. He had the gold fever in Lon
don and he went to British Columbia
in 1853 AS one of party of prospcc-
tors he reached Point Roberts after a
gulf, where a canoe was loaded with
sufficient provisions for long stay in
the newly-discovere country. They
went up the Fraser river to Yale, and
on to the heal CT navigation on the
Lillevette river. Then they carried
the provisions forty miles to Big Bar.
While they were prosp ecting one day
three men with q canoe went up the
stream. One was drawing the canoe
with a rope, the second was Tending it
off from the rocks aud the third was
st 7erlng. They were on the opposite
side and did not stop.
They were the original discoverers
of Cariboo. After passing Sewa ID s
camp they went to Fort Alexander,
where they learned from Indians that
gold might be found in the river known
now as Quesnelle. They went up to
the forks of the Quesnelle, left their
canoes and entered the Cariboo coun-
try No trace of them has ever been
found, but the news of n big strike
there reached the coast about six
weeks after they had entered. A few
days after the three men had passed
by Seward quit the camp because the
dirt did not pay and returned to Vic
toria. It is believed that the discover
ers were killed by Indians soon after
they had reached the fields. N. Y. Sun.

Curious origin of "a Name.

/ On the Peoria g. Eastern there is a
station known as Carlos City. Possibly
there are few of its inhabitants who
know how it received that name. The
town was originally called Bloomings-
port, and there were several places of
the same name in this country. The
result was that many cars of freight
intended for some of the other places
would go to this point It became a
proverb on the road that when a car
was lost and could not be found any
where else it would be sure to turn up
at Bloomingsport. superintendent
Wilson. then in charge of the road, was
greatly annoyed and announced one
day that he proposed to change the
name of the town. But what to call
it-ah! happy thought Every lost
car is found at this place. I'll just call
it Carlost City" And Carlost City it
was for long time The was
dropped out. and now it is Carlos City.

The face of the old-young man took

straight with his conscience by a short
lecture.
"You wouldn't cheat the company

The boy nodded and laughed 'You

more anxious HAS he took up the

"No," said the old-young man.

The old-young man became suddenly
conscious that his attitude was not IN

to impress on the boy.

added.
Then the conductor held out his hand
and the old-young man dropped a dime

never heard him. He was too intent on
