Behind him lay the gray Azores,
Behind the Gates Of Hercules;
Before him not the ghost Of shores
Before him only shoreless seas.

They sailed and sailed, as winds might

Until at last the blanched mate said:

RUSSELL SAGE TO BOYS.
EDUCATED BOYs.
EDUCATED BoYs.

The boy who Is wanted III the
business world OF TO day must be
educated, says RusselI Sage in an
admirable article on "rhe Boy That
is Wanted" in the Novem Der
Ladies' Home Journal.
Ii his parents cannot afford TO
give him High School or College
education, he must learn ID study
without the aid of a teacher. in the
early morning before business be
bins, and In the evening after busi-
ness hours. 1t can no longer be
truthfully said that All education is
out of any ones reach. Our splen
did school system, where one can
study by day or In the evening, has
put the priceless treasure of an ed
ucation within the reach OF all.
The main thing, IN the beginning,
that would impress upon boys, is
one of the great commandments,
"Honor thy father and thy mother,
that thy days may be long In the
land which the Lord thy God
glveth thee" The boy who respects
his father and mother, who treats
bis sisters and brothers with loving
kindness, has laid a good founda
tion for a successful career. You
Will do as your parents tell you, and
that will be to study. Don't be in
a hurry to get away from your
school books. The cares and re-
sponsibilities OF business life will
come soon enough. Go 10 school as
long as you can, and, remember,
every hour spent in study III your
youth Will be worth money to you
in after lie. Read good books-the
Bible above all. Make yourselt
acquainted with history. Study
the progress OF nations and the
careers of men who have made
nations great. Ii you have no
library of your own, JOIN one OF the
numerous associations TO be found
III all cities, where good, nealthtul
books may be obtained study
religion, science; statecraft, and
history. Learn o,Iead intelligent
ly, so that you may turn to practl-
cal use in after life, the readings OF
your youth. Be sure you begin
right. Do not waste time in read
ing trashy books.

AN AMERICAN MONTE CARLO.
Project for IL Magnificent Gambling RI
sort ON an Island in the Pacific,

Project for Magnificent Gambling Re-
sort on an Island in the Pacific.
CHICAGO, Jan. S.-An afternoon paper
says:
A stock company has been organized,
with capital of $4,000, 900, to estab-
lish Monte Carlo gambling resort on a
small island off the California coast,
about thirty miles from Santa Barbara.
Most of the stock has been taken by New
York capitalists. The island will be
fitted up in grand style, and gambling
will be carried ON in more sumptuous
apartments, if possible, than those that
make the European Monte Carlo so at
tractive.
This information is obtained from G..
S. Chaplin, of Chaplin 81 Gore, liquor
dealers, who is the only stockholder in
this city. Matters are in allegiance for
the present, as the question of owner
ship of the island lies between Mexico
and the United States, and is q mooted
one 1t is proposed to put on line of
steamers to ply between the island and
Santa Barbara, and run the establish
ment the year round. The paper men
tions the names Of Walter S. Maxwell,
of California, who was urged for chief
of the horticultural department of the
worlds fair; l, l.. Polk, his brotherin-
law, and John l.. Gaffney, member Of
the California state board of equaliza-
ton, in connection with the project.

CHANDLER, O. T., Jan. 8.-A report
comes into this city Of the finding of a
house in the dense woods along the river
over in the Indian country, which had
been deserted, and an examination of
which solves a mystery which has been
puzzling the people of that city for sew
eral years,
The house was situated in deep
piece of timber, and was about mile
off the stage road. 1t was approached
by circuitous trail through the woods,
and was in such position that it was
only discovered by accident.

quent occurrence that travellers have
disappeared when travelling along this
road, and no trace of them was ever
after discovered. On several occasions
search has been made for the missing
parties, but such search has always been
truitless. Lately the United States
marshals have been making it very
warm for the outlaws which have in
tested the territory, and the result is
that many of them have fled to other
parts until the storm blows over.
1t is evident that the house spoken of
was the rendezvous of some Of the rob
bers, for it was built for that very pur-
pose, as is evidenced from its structure

rangement similar to that used on scat

son in the rear room could spring the
trap and send the victim to the bottom
of deep hole.
1t was evident that it was used for
this purpose. for the bottom of the hole
was covered with jagged rocks, and on
many of these could be found dried
blood and hair No indications of re-
mains could be found, but the ground
near will be thoroughly searched by the
officers.

A PLUCKY MARSHAL
Battles with Half n Dozen MoOnshiners
and Comes Out Victorious.

ana comes out VICTORIOUS.
LOUISVILLE, Jan. 81. W. Reed, dep.
uty city marshal of Glasgow, reached
Louisville Tuesday. He came to report
to United States Marshal Burchett his
strange discovery of an illicit still, and
the fight which followed The city Of
fetal found "moonshine plant right
in the heart Of Glasgow. He had been
suspecting the illegal manufacture of
whisky in the neighborhood for some
time. But it was not until Tuesday
morning that he learned the still was in
Glasgow, under an old store. AS soon
as he learned this, fearing the men might
escape if he lost any time, Reed entered
the place alone.
A half dozen men were at work about
the mash The intruder was no sooner
seen than pistols were drawn and bullets
began to fly. The marshal sprang be-
hind an old barrel, protected by which
he sent out deadly fire. George Mar
tin, one of the 'mooners," fell fatally
wounded. Chris Leup, another, was
seriously wounded. Two or three of
the men escaped but the others We're
placed under arrest, with the exception
of Martin, who can live but a few days at
the longest. He was shot in the in
testines.
Reed, by his coolness and bravery,
captured the STILL and has placed the
mash tubs and other apparatus under
guard. The plant was very complete,
and, strange to say, had been running
more than six months. Several deputy
United States marshals will leave at
once for Glasgow.
