Tho suicide recently at the Grand
Hotel, in San Francisco, Of J. ID.
Spencer, upon the day appointed for
his marriage to Miss Nellie Ewing, OF
that city, unfolded drama in real
life with tragedy for sequel. 1t
was revealed by the facts which came
to light after Spenoer's death, that he
had led dual life, as woman APP
peared upon the scene and claimed
the dead man for her husband. The
heart broken woman told amid sobs
the sad story of her life. How eight
years ago she had met Spencer at
Challis, Idaho, where she was wait
ress in one of the hotels, and known
as Mrs, May kirchlar. Spencer fell
in love with her, and they agreed to
live together as man and wife with
out the formality Of the conventional
marriage ceremony, but he gave her
his name and called her his wife.
They lived together for seven years
in different places, and Spencer con-
tinaed devoted and loyal to the NO.
man who bore his name, until, in San
Francisco, he met Miss Ewing whom
he thought be loved, and who would
better grace his home than the wo-
man he could cast off without the for
mality of divorce. Mrs. Spencer
Gas she cls.med to bel followed the
guilty manaa. San Francisco, where
she learned from him OF his approach
ing marriage to anotber,snd demand
ed that he would keep the promise
that he made to marry her. THIS he
refused to do, and begged her to re-
lease him, promising to settle an an.
nuity upon her il she would let him
marry Miss Ewing. They had dra-
matte interview the day preceding
Spsncer's death, and he told her that
gbs ought to kill him. and that IL she
did not be would kill himself. Rath-
~ than face the denouement that his
day would surely bring, and

The sun Of the golden May morn
ing was streaming through the
branches OF the trees that lined the
walk, and the sweet spring air, just
touched with fading memory OF
frost, caused the blood to rush through
the veins and rendered my Sunday
morning walk pleasant and invigorat-
ing.
l had just passed stately church,
from which the school children we're
emerging, some running and romp-
ing, some quiet and orderly and some
clustered around their teachers,
Ahead Of me was little group CON-
posed OF teacher and seven or eight
scholars, among which was the regu-
Iation bad boy.
The subject Of their conversation
was BALKAN and the ASS" evidently
the school lesson for the day. The
teacher, . sweet faced young lady,
was busy answering the questions Of
the children. Finally one Of the
youngest placed himself in front Of
her, walking backward, and said:
"Miss Anna, you said the ass
spoke to BALKAN. What did he
sayP"
"Why, ] am surprised that you
don't know" answered the teacher
Now, Jimmie" she said, turning to
to the bad boy, "you tell frankie
what the ass said to Balaam."
she said, 'Come off," answered
Jimmie, as he tripped one Of his COM
panions up.
"Why, James," said the Mortified
instructor. "What do you mean
What makes you think he said Come
Off"
| "Cause," answered the hopeful Al
passed tho group, "hs knowed da
Balaam WAS onto him."

The nINER.

Recently large dry goods firm OF
Aspen, Colorado, offered prizes to
three of the school children who
would write the best essay on "The
Miner" The following is one of the
contributions from the pen Of Mollie
Fink, published in the Mining Indus
try:
at is time something was written
in defense OF the miner, il only to
correct the idea that Eastern people
have of him. For years he has been
held up to the delighted eyes Of mag
azine readers as q wild and woody
individual. or course no wore . red
shirt, big boots, generally with .
bowie knife in tho leg Of one OF them,
and invariably talked in dialect,
tho like Of which never existed out
side the pages Of the monthly maya
zine. He seemed to pass his time in
betting fabulous sums, and taking an
occasional shot at friend.
SHOW, since have lived in Aspen,
] have seen and known . number OF
miners, and they are . very different
people. They generally wear as
good clothes as merchant or q
banker, and are just as we'll man.
nerod as any one could be. When
you see one on the street It is rather
difficult sometimes to realize that the
well dressed man before you is the
one whom you saw but an hour ago
coming "of the hill" dinner bucket
and creepcrs in hand, his blue dig
ging clothes yellow with ore and
spotted with candle grease. 1t il
difficult TO give even a slight sketch
OF the miner in 30 short space
volumes might be written concerning
his weaknesses and virtues, for he has
plenty OF both. With him bravery Il
not = virtue, merely being matter
OF course. A man is not apt to be I
coward who daily faces the thousand
unseen dangers Of the underground
world. He faces death in the falling
bucket, the caving ground, the deadly
giant aud tho numbcrless othel
ways that human foresight oanno
guard against. He faces 1t brayely
too, and is as ready with laugh ane
Jest as he would be ON the street. II,
tolls away in the darkness and wet
and IL he does 'kick little some
times who can blame him? Insteat
OF betting his money he generally in
vests the surplus in little home, o
more often on lease or in the devel
opment Of his claims. He is not al
ways or even frequently ignorant o
uncouth. On the contrary, many
graduate of tho best colleges may b
in the mines earning his living al tn
end OF hammer. Taking him al
around, the miner is = good fellow,
faithful, generous friend, and law
abiding, industrious citizen. III
tolls away, thinking OF the day whel
he will strike it rich. He may neve
strike It, but hope stays with him al
ways, and his dying vision is OF tn
mountains, where the hopes of me-
s-e never unfulflled, and the storm
tossed fortune hunter may rest for
over"

knowing there was no issue from his
unhappy entanglements, the wretch
ed man took dose Of poison that
ended his dual life. His fiancee was
SO shocked by her lovers tragic death
and the startling disclosures that her
reason was nearly dethroned. Spen-
Ger was we'll connected, and was a
travelling member Of an eastern to-
