Though moon is supposed to
be dead and cold, similar conditions

of those pertaining to Jupiter are be

HEMMED IN BY A PRAIRIE FIRE.

HEMMED IN BY A PRAIRIE FIRE.
An Experisu nee That Is Burned Into a
Westerncr's Memory.
II had an experience in Nebraska
in 1856 that can see yet whenever
shut my eyes" said Major Tom
Stephens. Il plotted party of emf
grants across the plains and was re-
turning alone to the Missouri. 1t
was a trifle risky, but my business
was urgent, and | was so well mount
ed that l had little fear of Indians.
1t was in the latter part of Septem-
Der, and as there had been no rain
for two months the tall grass was
like so much finder.
Zone night | camped on a small
tributary of the Middle Loup. 1t
was a small, spring fed rivulet, des-
titute of timber and almost hidden
by the rank grass. | had not slept
long when l was awakened by the
neighing of my horse, and vas hor-
rified to find the prairie to the south
of me afire and a strong wind sweep
ing it down upon me. | mounted
and started for the Loup, some five
miles north, but before half the dis
lance was covered my horse put his
foot in a hole, fell and broke a leg.
THE fire hemmed me in by a semi
circle and was coming on with terri.
BILE rapidity. The whole heavens
seemed to be a sheet of roaring
flame. l thought sure I was done for.
l have heard that men brought face
to face with death remember every
evil deed of their lives, but l simply
stood there in the dry grass and
watched the sublime spectacle. l felt
that my doom was sealed and delib-
erately waited for it. Suddenly a
new danger confronted me. A vast
herd of buffalo flying before the fire
was bearing down upon me. | was
to be trampled to death and Gre
mated afterward! AS the vast mass
came laundering on | instinctively
started and ran. Several deer went
scurrying by me, and | fancied |
could feel the hot breath OF the herd
of buffalo on the back of my neck. l
was suddenly thrown into the air
and landed lengthwise across the
back of q big bull.
Il fastened my fingers in his shaggy
coat and managed to bestride him,
and thus mounted l was carried to
the Loup river, where l was thrown
off by the branch of a tree. man
aged to swing to it, however, and
thus saved myself from being
trampled to death. The herd plunged
the shallow river, and | took
refuge from the approaching flames
in it's muddy waters. Three days
later | was picked up, more dead
than alive, by all emigrant train. l
spent, first and last, more than fif-
teen years on the plains and had
many close calls, but that midnight
ride on a buffalo's back, with the
Loup river in front and the fires of
Gehenna roaring in the rear, was, |
think, as remarkable as any of the
inventions of the yellow back lit
craft. st. Louis Globe-D Democrat.

Notes on the Benton.

The Puck lode, one of the Benton
properties, is being worked by two
shifts of men. 1t lies to the west end of
the group and has a fine lead of quartz
bearing %sulphurets. They are now 20
feet deep and have a continuous body in
a fisure vein of beautiful white quartz
carrying from 20 to 80 ounces Indi-
cations are that the vein will be similar
and probably equal to that on the Blue
Cloud.
A contract to run a crOSScut to the
Flora vein is being finished by four men.
The Flora vein, belonging to the Benton,
is estimated to be over 1000 feet in
length and the company expects to cut
the lead at a depth of 800 or 900 feet.
Great development are expected upon
the completion of the contract.
The lower tunnel of the Blue Cloud
lode, the contract for which calls for
800 feet will tap the main lead 200 feet
lower than at any other place. 1t is
from this lead that the Benton
has taken its richest ore and the COM
pany is of the opinion that the depth
which this work will give them is sure
to urn up treasures better than they
have ever found, as the mine has always
increased in body and richness as depth
was attained. The tunnel is tightly and
neatly timbered with sawed timbers and
is the incest work of the kind IN camp.
Several new and connections build
ing, have been added to the improve
ments on this property this season.
They now employ 30 to 80 men.
Both ID. l.. S. Barker, superintendent.
and VIM. Chisholm, foreman, of the
Benton, are worthy of compliments for
the friendly manner in which they re-
ccive visitors to this famous property.

In CAMP AT PEEkSkIlL.
An Incident of Military Life Among Ney

An incident Of military Lie Among Now
Ycrk's Citizen Soldiers.
Jordan Rogers, from Peekskill, N.
y. was at the Great Northern re-
GENTLY.
The departure" he said, 'of some
of your militia for the state encamp-
ment reminds me of a little incident
that occurred a night Or two before
| left Peekskill, where the New York
boys were encamping.
"On this night the countersign was

terry boys, who were stationed out
on the edge of the bluff, caught on
Several of them had some fun with
the guard after taps, and one Incl
dent in this connection has an espe-
cially humorous side to it. 1t seems
that no enlisted man is entitled to
the countersign. If it is absolutely
necessary for one to enter or leave
camp after taps he can go past the
guards only by means of a pass which
has been approved at headquarters.
In the battery detail from Brooklyn
is a private who knows how to make
the most of a good thing.
HE is a large, well built man,
with a voice to match his size. He
was one of several who got hold of
Gettysburg Oh the night referred
to. He has a coat with a cape fash
Toned much like the regular officers
cape. Shortly after taps he put on
his big cape coat, buttoned it closely
around his throat, gave his private's
cap the crush in the back which,
more than the braid, distinguishes
the officers cap after dark, assumed
a majestic stride and started for a
walk around the camp grounds. He
was soon challenged by a sentry.
The conversation which ensued was
something like this.
Halt who goes there2'
"A friend
Advance, friend, and give the
countersign.'
THE battery private walked slow
ly forward and said Gettysburg in
his deepest bass.
The sentinel began to say The
countersign is correct; advance,
friend, when the big private, assum-
ing an authoritative pose, said
sharply;
Don't you know how to hold
your piece when you are talking to
army o~fficer2'
The sentry was in the correct pc
and began to stammer that he
thought he was holding it properly.
"'Don't let me see any more of this
carelessness,' said the private more
than before.
Point your bayonet down when
a regular army officer approaches.
Hold the piece i'll your left hand and

The ratified sentry admitted that
that part of his education had been
neglected, hut added that he would
profit by the advice given him. The
big private left him standing there
his bayonet pointed toward the
ground and his right hand in the air.
After instructing a couple more
sentries in a brand new system of
guard duties the private went to his
tent and laughed himself asleep

Christian EndeaYOr Societies.

Christian Endeavor societies have
been from the start eminently spir-
itual. They have dealt with funda-
mentals. They have appealed to the
thoughtful and uncarnal young man
hood and maidenhood with conf
Lence and success. More than that,
!hey have exhibited young Ameri-
ra's-young world's-genius for ap-
piled Christianity. Fish for the
young with a general exhortation,
and they will grin at it as the pick
eral grins at the float. Fish for
them with the hook of a principle
baited with a definite duty, and they
are yours. -Harper's Weekly.

HALEY MAY WELL BE PROUD.

The result Of the effort to keep the
public schools going by private sub
scription during the next four months
at a cost Of $1,000 to $4,000, is known.
1t is not surprising to US, here, who
are accustomed to such magnificent
displays Of public-spiritedness; but it
will undoubtedly startle other com.
munties into something like the old.
time admiration called forth by similar
efforts in the past.
The citizens of other towns of
Idaho, who have heard so much that
was false concerning HALEY, can find
in this incid, mt the secret Of her
prestige. Whenever money has been
needed for any worthy purpose, and
whether the amount was large o,
small, it has been forthcoming after .
brief canvass.
We do not believe that there i.
another town Of this size in the worl,
That could do what has been done
here, and what can be done again
And it is in this that the basis of on
renown for libera!ity, enterprise
public spirltedness, and success car
be found.
Every resident of HALEY has a righ
to feel proud over the result of tn
two meetings held to reopen th
public schools.

Mr.. Eli Perkins, who has been
making a lecturing tour through the
South, was in Nashville, Tenn, some
time ago, and was interviewed by u
Nashville American reporter. Among
other things Mr.. Perkins told the fol-
lowing incident of his Sonthe tour:

season happened at Charleston. l
found Mr.. nemphiil, the brillian, free
trade editor Of the old free trade s.ews
aud Courier, writing editorials in ia
vor OF n protective tariff on rice AID
Sea Island cotton.
"Why," said he, ",he Egyptians
shipped 10000 bales of long staple
cotton over here last year and sod it
for II cents pound. They knocked
down the price of our South Carolina
long staple cotton. And those cheap
lahor Chinese sent thousands of bushels
OF rice, made by low priced ) cents
per day labor, to break down our

Now" continued Mr. Remphill, "you

The Fallibility OF Art Critics.

"Monteznma,' in The Art Amateur.l
The expert lie Brun was perfectly
sure that the "Magdalen" painted by
Mignard "with inten. to deceive" was
the veritable work of Guido. 1t is
possible that it was just as good as if
it had been BY Guido. The divine
Michel Angelo descended to similar
practical joke on the cognoscenti Of
his time by burying the statue Of a
Cupid he had made, after breaking off
one OF the arms, SO as to en- oy the
learned criticisms of those called to
view it. These gentlemen would
have proved beyond the shadow Of q
doubt that the unearthed statue
was precious relic Of antique art, #
the great Tuscan had not at last pro-
luced the missing arm and fitted it on
to nicely. Blu. that did no, prove
very much after all If in our own
day, we should not be quite as glad to
unparth an hitherto statue by Michel
Angelo as one by Phidlas, we are not
sure that we would not as soon have a
"Magdalen" by Mignard as one by
Guido. We are constantly revising
the Judgment of previous ages as to
who were the greatest artists Of their
time. If Rubins.ein he right, Emusic
