SEARCHING FOR RICHES.
A Colorado Miner Found at His Post
Three Months After Death.

a Colorado Miner Found at His Post
Three Months After Death.
From the anaconda (lfont.) STANDARD.
Peculiar pathos attaches to the case of
James Devine, whose dead body was found
recently In a tunnel where had been mining.
Here was a man who for years lived practi-
cally the life of hermit, depriving himself
voluntarily of every pleasure. digging and
delving early and late, winter and summer,
in a ceaseless search for riches, which he
constantly believed the very next blow of
his pick would unearth. And after all his
toll and privation, without coming any
nearer to the accomplishment OF his purpose
then when he first began, never realizing
any of the great expectations which he be-
lieved the surface indications warranted,
there in the mouth of the tunnel, with no
hand to help him from the scene of his
accident to his cabin, no one near to ad
minister medical aid or offer spiritual con-
ISOLATION, in the cold of a January day he
suffered and died his frozen body not to be
discovered until months afterward.
There Is, perhaps, no particular moral to
be drawn from the accident other than that
chance a great factor in determining all
mems fates, is especially operative In the
case of prospectors. Other men, not many,
have undergone Devine's experience, and
struck it rich at last. Still others have had
to be satisfied with partial and unsatis-
factory results. Devine was type of hun
dreds Of poor devils who In spite of unre-
hitting toll and unnatural exertions seem
never TO succeed.

about the pond with great relish OF the fun,
and it was a sight to see en-.
But my friend Molefetcher's idea was
further reaching than that He was only
leading up to Its elimination. He made
him light cedar boat. of easy running
model and small draughk From the bow
OF the boat he protested rod, 90 serve as
wagon tongue, 90 to speak. He had mill
pond near his house, and be launched the
boat on it. Then he took hts team OF cat
fish over to the mill pond, hooked thsmup
to the boat, got into his novel craft, and, in
the presence Of his delighted family, seized
the reins, ehirruped 10 the catfish. aud
away they went with him up the pond at a
three minute gait. My friend Molsfetchsr's
idea was q grand SUCCESS, and every day
the team Of catfish enjoyed themselves by
giving some member OF the Molafetcher
family dash about the pond.
"One day my friend Molsfstoher was
taking ride on the pond behind his team.
They were going down the pond on a nice
little jog, when suddenly fshhawk, whose
eyes must have been good deal bigger
than his stomach, bounced down on the
team and tried to lift the catfish out Of the
water. This frightened the team and they
ran away. They made a wild dash toward
the dam. My friend Molefetcher held on
to the reins with all his might and tried to
stop them, but it was no use. Over the
dam they went The boat was smashed to
pieces and Molecraft came near being
drowned. They got him out, though,
and down the creek he tore after the run
away team. The hawk still had its clutch
in the Off catfsh's shoulder as they went
over the dam. A mile down the stream they
found the hawk and the nigh catfish. The
hawks throat was in the catflshs mouth,
and the bird was very dead. The off catfish
was found half mile further down. He
was so badly crippled that he was never any
use as one of the team any more. In fact,
my friend Molefetcher turned them both
out in the pond TO pasture as they pleased,
and never hitohed them up again, which
was great berea vemenb both TO the Mole
fletcher family aud the team. II anybody
cares to make a study of real catfish, ne
ought to go over in my native valley of the

Habitual Drunkards Have q slim Chance
After an Operation.

Habitual Drunkards Have q slim Chance
After an Operation.
Mr.. Frederick Treves, the we'll
known surgeon of the London hospital,
in his Manual of Operative Surgery"
has some striking remarks on the
risks attending operations on the
bodies of drunkards. He said: "A
scarcely worse subject for an operation
can be found than is provided by the
habitual drunkard. The condition
contraindicates any but the most
necessary and urgent procedure, such
as amputation for severe crush, herni-
otony and the like. The mortality Of
these operations among alcoholics is,
it is needless to say, enormous. Many
individuals who state that they do not
drink anG who, although perhaps
never drunk, are yet always taking a
little stimulant in the form of 'nips'
aud an occasional glass; are often "A
bad subjects for surgical tire atment as
are the acknowledged drum kards.
"Of the secret drinkers" continues
Mr.. Treves. "the surgeon has to be in
deed aware. In his account of 'Calam-
tiles of Surgery Sir James Paget men
tions the case of a person who was .
drunkard on the sly, and yet not SO
much on the sly but that it was well
known to his more intimate friends
His habits were not asked after, and
one Of his fingers was removed be-
cause joint disease had spoiled it. He
died in a week or ten days with spread
ing cellular Inflammation. such as was
far from unlikely to occur in an
habitual drunkard. Even abstinence
from alcohol for a week or two be-
fore an operation does not seem to
greatly modify the result" Dwelling
on the immense Importance to an OPP
orator of cultivating "a surgical hand, :"
the same writer points out that "a
shaky hand" may be developed by ir-
regular modes of living. by the mod
crate use of alcohol and by smoking.
