A FRIEND IN NEED.
OHIO.

Twas a lazy, hazy sort ofa day
A Sunday in early September
And Parsou Pindar II was that preached
That is, II 1 rightly remember.
Outside, In the meadows aftermath
The bees droned in the clover,
In "dolce far niente" sort OF way,
For their summers work was over.
Inside the flies on the window.pane
BuzEed in a sleepy fashion,
Too listiess to search out the thin-haired men,
And tease them into a passion.
The high. backed pews in the old stone church
Were hardly made for DOING
But here and there the "pilars" mapped,
Lulled by the parsons pressing;
Tor in drowsy measure his sing-song tones
With the hum of the bees was blended,
And old Deacon Badger fell fast asleep
Before the firstly was ended
From "fourthly" to "ifthly' the parson went
His steady way pursuing
With "seventhly,' "eighthly, brethren" and
then
The "nlnthly" was just reviewing,
When saucy breeze came over the hill
And set the leaves a-dancing,
And ttlmbled the clover, then in at the door
With mischievous air came prancng
II bristled the hair on the deacon's head
Till it seemed to be cutting capers
It hirted the leaves of the hymn books old
Next rumped the parsons papers.
Then out of the wpdow it slipped away,
Bent on more merry confusion
Now the parson, his "ninthly" out of the way,
Had reached at last the conclusion.
Nov, finally, brethren SLOWLY he spoke,
"Now, finally, f-nal-ly-oh, dear me-
go himself he said, US he wiped his specs"
II just had that finally near me-
Aloft in the gallery, demure and prim
Sat little Patty Carson;
Not word of the sermon had she missed
Or q gesture Of the parson.
But now she half rose and leaned DER the rail,
Her eyes on him unXiously bending,
As he searched in vain for the missing link
Between the lys and the ending
AS he stopped perplexed-in a high-cracked
voice
She must either help or hinder
"Your finally, brethren, parsou,' she cried,
"Has just blown out of the winder'

STRUCK 1T RICH.
How Luckless Wanderers Have Stumbled
Upon Gold Mines.

HOW LuCkleSS 1dNe
Upon Gold Mines.
Gold was discovered in California in
1S4S, and in Colorado in 1858. The dis
covery was accidental in both cases,
and the fact created the impression that
mines were Lying around loose" Ad-
venturers drifted about in hope of
stumbling upon mine" Mr.. Thayer,
in his 'Marvels of the New West"
mentions several instances of lucky
stumbling" Three men, while look
ing for gold in California, discovered
the dead body of a man who evidently
had been prospecting" Poor fell
low!" said one of the trio. He has
passed in his checks!" "Let's give him
a decent burial" said another. "Some
wife or mother will be glad if she ever
knows it," They began to dig grave.
Three feet below the surface they dis
covered signs of gold. The stranger
was buried in another place, and where
they had located a grave they opened a
gold mine.
An adventurer who had drifted into
Leadville awoke one morning without
food or money. He went out and shot
a deer, which, in its dying agonies,
kicked up the dirt and disclosed signs
of gold. The poor man staked out a
"claim" and opened one of the most
profitable mines ever worked in Lead
vile.
Dead Man Claim" the name given
to another rich mine in Leadville, was
discovered by broken-down miner
while QlUrlnU a grave.
A miner died when there was several
feet of snow on the ground. His comrades
laid his body in a snow bank, and hired
man for twenty dollars todig grave.
The grave-digger, after three days alb
sence, was found digging a mine in
stead of grave. While eXcavating he
had struck gold Forgetting the corpse
and his bargain, he thought only of the
fact that he had ''struck it rich"
An unsuccessful Australian miner
went up and down in Colorado for sew
eral months, prospecting" for gold and
finding none. One day he sat down
upon a stone, and while musing over
his hard luck, aimlessly struck another
piece, and sprang to his feet. The chip
was rich gold quartz.
He hurried into the little town of
Rosita, and went to the assay office,
where a teamster had just dumped a
load of wood. He agreed to saw the
wood to pay for assaying his Clipped
sample. The result of the assay sent
him back to his 'claim." When he had
taken out of it four hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, he sold the mine for
three hundred thousand dollars in cash
and one million in stock.
But these ''stumblings" are the ex-
ceptions to the rule that mines are
found by painstaking, intelligent pros
pectors They spend wearisome months
in exploring mountains and gulches,
They are mineralogists, geologists and,
above all, practical explorers, who can
tell from twist" in the grain OF the
rock or from the color of spar seam
whether paying gold" can be mined in
the region Youths Companion.

Repairs Preferable.

During war times an old negro
nanny met with an accident on the
cars which left her with various
bruises, including sprained ankle and
a dislocated wrist.
Her mistress advised her suing the
railroad company for damages. 81 GER
tainly would sue them, aunty," she
said, "asd for good-sized damages, too"
Lord, Lord" exclaimed old aunty.
"Sue de corapany fer damages, honey.

"By the way" said Mr.. Everett
turning to me kindly, "here Is n letter
for you from my brother, which
should have given you before. l shall
tell him how greatly l enjoyed my
call" And as he bowed himself out
there dawned upon his face slow
smile of such intense and uncontrol-
liable amusement that it made me feel
as if an icy hand was clutching my
heart. We all stood transfxed until
we heard the door close behind him.
Then
ellis brother" exclaimed Nell, in
low, terrible tone. "Wretched grill
Who is his brother?"
~ don't know" faltered, almost in
tears, tearing open the letter.
"Ten to one," said Tom, strrrtting
around with his thumbs in his button
holes, "it's proposal of marriage"
"Or hundred-dollar check for that
last story" said Nell, laughing
nervously.
They came behind me and looked
over my shoulder, all reading together.
1t was not proposal of marriage, but
it was a check-an effectual oGe--to
our spirits

HUGH A. EVERETT
For a moment that seemed a year
there was deadly silence. Then | be-
gan to sob childishly, and Nell re-
gret to be compelled to tell it-Nell
went into regular Mysteries of mirth,
and laughed and cried alternately.
Nor did she entirely recover for weeks,
but would go into convulsions of merri-
ment at the mere remembrance of that
evening. Tom neither laughed nor
cried, He just sat down on
the edge of the organ stool and
twisted his faint presentment of a
mustache and swung his long legs to
and fro and reflected. When his
thoughts had had time to travel down
to the bag of potatoes and the coal oil
can, imagine he concluded that he
could reflect more clearly if alone, for
he arose silently and stole into the
store, nor did so much as nurmur
emerge from him during the remaindei
of the evening. 1t was the first and
last time in my life that ever saw
Tom completely squelched. ELLA Hig-

Commodore Wheeler's yacht Mabel
proved a wonder to our British Column
bia neighbors, and her qualities as a
racer were fully appreciated.
The American yachts have a great
reputation in Victoria at present. Both
first and second prize for our boats is a
good record for one Queens birthday.
The yacht Alpha, formerly the Gem,

ach contained a sheep and several dogfish.

Earwigs differ from all other insects in
both their origin and structure. They are

FADs OF FASHION.

Little hoods are attached to nearly all
garments worn in the street.
Parasols are made of the same material
as the gowns in many instances, two yards
extra material being required.
Ties and slippers are made of kid TO
match the gowns. The darker shades Of
tan in Oxford ties will be worn this sum-
mer.
Women who can afford the luxury have
lampshades to correspond with their va
rious house gowns, so that beautiful har-
mony may be preserved.
In gloves shades Of fawn and beaver are
much worn. Short gloves are still in favor
for tailor made gowns. while long ones are
RELOCATED to evening wear.
The address is still placed at the top Of
letter paper, and is more used than the
monogram. although that is by no means
out Of style. This Is placed at one side.
The Greek style Of couture is preferred TO
all others. The hair must be waved, and
IL possible all over. The yolk Of an egg
rubbed weekly into the roots Of the hair,
and then washed out with plenty of soft
water, cleanses the hair and makes IL soft,
while sun bath gives it a lightness and
fiuffiness very desirable to the blond type.
