TEE MESSAGE.

ess
The sun had just sunk behind the
hills, leaving Evans Gulch in a soft
shadow and its prominent citizens in a
( brisk discussion on the merits of an old
map which Sheriff Woodruff had pro-
duced to confirm one of his statements.
An old map it looked to be; greasy and
marked by the fingers of hasty pros
pectors; almost as ancient in appearance
as an Egyptian papyrus that had lain
pressed closely to the bosom of a mummy
for ages. Yet the sheriff had sworn by
it for years, and he dared to produce it
and lay it side by side with one of the
governments newest, that was almost
as unintelligible from its plexus of red,
blue and green lines, dots and specks,
squares and circles, figures and names.
The sheriff proudly stated that his
map was made in thirty y-seven, a fact
that, for him, was proof of its virtues,
for he believed that map, like whisky,
gathered virtue with years. It showed
vast.vacant spaces marked 9'unexplored
territory" and in spite of the fact that
the chimneysin Leadville smoked in the
distance, three miles away, where his
reliable map showed an arid region, he
still affirmed his faith in it. He had his
supporters, three or four, who swore by
the sheriff, and they stoutly backed him
in his assertion that tthere's just as
many unexplored tracts in this 'ere
country as ever-or nearly as many
anyhow" Gale Whitley had the ma
jority with him as with fluent gestures
and few words he spread the new map,
gaudy, butterfylike, on the faro table
and said scornfully, "Put your thumb
on spot where there's no names of
hills, towns, rivers or campsp The
sheriff, whose thumb was none of the
smallest, would have found it a difficult
task even had he essayed it, but he
would not deign to bestow glance upon
the "circus chart" as he called the paint
ed thing.
All Evans Gulch knew what this dis
cussion was about. 1t was an old sub
ject, and the new map had been pro-
cured as clincher to Gales oft repeated
assertions that ssthe whole country was
explored, and no use talkin." A few of
the least interested stood on the out

The Filter that Jones Made.

"Matildv," said Jones, when the
water-works is done, the Mississippi
water'll hev to be filtered, now, won't
it 2"
Jones dotes on systems of filtration
but Mrs. j. does not, she opposed the
idea with all her might, for fear Jones
would go off and spend money on some
new filter. And so Jones went off and
improvised a filter out of an old barrel
which he filled with charcoal and
Brainerd gravel, and in the night set it
up at the corner of the house about
where the waterworks pipe would come
in. There" said he; I'll haul up a
little river water, and when it gifts
soaked through, I'll surprise Matildy's
stomach with sech a delicious drink as
will stop her kickin' agin my filter
idees." SO, after supper, he slipped
out the back way with the washtub on
his sled, and made for the river, and an
hour later returned soaking wet with
sweat from the long pull in the sand,
and carefully emptied the tub into the
filter. Meanwhile, when Mrs. Jones
went to throw out the dishwater, Just
at dusk, she spied the barrel, and,
mentally praising Jones for at last
getting a slop-barrel, carefully emptied
all the houseslops into it.
Jones was still in sweat when he
went to bed, but managed to escape in
quirF. Before sunrise he was up, and
tapped his filter, racking off quart
for the breakfast table, which he pro
duced in a stone bottle as Mrs. Jones
sat down.
"Matildy, taste o that" he said.
What is it"
That's Mississippi water filtered"
She sampled with a wretched face,
and uttered bad word. 1t was almost
cuss- word, and Jones nearly lost his
temper when she demanded:
mississippi water? Where from ?"
"Our new filter, back of the kitchen.
Zones" said she, in wifely way,
with her hand on her apron-front,
you're fool. l thought that was a
slop-barrel.
Jones was nearl sick. but he says he
will buy a new filter when the water
works are done if he has to sell one of
his Dakota farms to do it.-BrGinerd

CHAPTER VI.

The snow had fallen thick and fast,
and all the ground round the manse lay
under a white unbroken sheet.
The manse stood at the brow of a hill,
bleak and very cold without, bnt it was
so warmly matched that it was comfort
able enough within. The path which
led up to the door had not been swept,
and the deep snow impeded Lady Grisel's
steps as she mounted the hill. Her face
had grown older and more careworn dur
ing the two months that had elapsed
since Evans death, and her eyes would
often look fixed and troubled.
The Minister was sitting in his little
room when Lady Grisel came in. He
placed a chair for her by the low peat
fire and helped to remove her fur cloak.
Il am still very unhappy, my old
friend" she began.
'Ah! the loss of such son, Lady
! Grisel"
She waved her hand. THAT was
Gods will, Master Malcolm" she said,
land must be borne; it is about Assunta
! that have come to you" and The tie ars
| started to her eyes.
| She was silent for one moment, then
/ raising herself, she said
Il am anxious about that poor girl. ="
Have you heard from her, Lady
| Grisel?"
ALAS no! it is not likely that she
would write to me, after what she said
to You in Edinburgh. You are sure of
| her address,"
quite sure; when l traced her there
| she promised always to let me know
where she was"
us she still in Edinburgh"
"No, she has gone to London"
ITO London! alone." exclaimed Lady
Grisel.
"She would not listen to me-" he an
swered. Her one only wish and no pc
was to hide herself away from all who
had ever known or seen her"
"Ilad she money, Master Malcolm?"
"She had some, but she would not tell
me how much; it is useless to ask her to
accept it, Lady GriseI-she will not"
Lady Grisel hcsitated for moment,
then she put her hand lightly on the
! Ministers arm and said
II hardly like to propose it to you. but
you are her only friend"
would you have me follow her to Lon
don?" said the Minister
II would; we know how utterly friend
less she is; if she will not accept the
money, there are a thousand WAYS in
which we may help her still. You could
find employment fictitious employment
from me if you will, to be doubly paid;
but this can only be done when you are
there, when you see whether she be
driven to great straits or not"
Master Malcolm put out his hand and
shook Lady GrisefS without a word.
When she rose to 60, she said, softly
when will you start, Minister"
'To-morrow by daybreak, ! will take

Former Wisconsin Woman Seeks a Pen

CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., April 22.-Seyen-
teen years ago Emanuel Beck left his
wife and family in Yankton and went to
the Black Hills. They never heard
from him again, and, as he was reported
dead, made no effort to find him.
He was married to the wife,
whom he has since deserted, in Llgo-
pier, Westmoroland County, Pa, IN
1915, and with her removed to Wlscon-
sin prior to the war of the rebellion.
Here he enlisted as private in Co i,
Thirty-third Regiment, Wisconsin Vol
unteer Infantry, serving three years.
After the war he and his family re-
moved to Dakota. Many years ago
Mrs. Beck, believing herself a widow,
applied for pension. Before dom SO,
however, her attorney wrote t0the pen
sion Office asking if Emanuel Beck was
on the pension roll. \ mega
tive reply having been re-
ceived, Mrs. Beck at once set
about procuring testimony in support Of
her claim, and had, a. was supposed,
established it, when the other day She
was surprised to receive notice that her
claim was rejected on the ground that

Young Editors Who Murder Statesmen.

Speaking - prominent newspaper
editor, he said: The changes, not to
say the diseases, of our times, produce
effects we are vet to deal with. For
instance, the newspaper press IS rather
a destructive than constructive
element at the present time. The de
struction of public men is going on
faster than the destruction of the Ameri-
can forests. Not enough attention is
paid to the encouragement of statesmen.
In old times, as under Thurlow Weed,
editors taught their young men to go
into the company of the Senators, Con-
gresSmen, Judges. etc. and exchange
views, aud consequently the press in
public life had a reciprocal influence.
But now Young fellows come into the
papers with no acquaintance at all with
the men who conduct the country, or
with their difficulties, and every one of
those young chaps regards himself as
of no account till he has killed off at
least two or three public men. The
consequence is that We have dearth Of
confident, useful. trusted statesmen.
/ 10 not think the Change Is for the bet
ter. You must give a public man sup
port and encouragement enough 10
make his business palatable to him.
/ and when he finds himself fired on from
/ ambush from twenty directions he
4 grows timid, never develops mole than
/ half, and the result is seen In the cheap
/ ness of the men who now do come
| to the front. Those who are without
sensibility get the foremost positions. "

in length and runs from Wuys Sta

Company. The grade j. very steep.
In coming down this evening the train,
composed of an engine with two ears
loaded with large block stone, became
unmaua"rablc and dashed down the
grad" AT Il tremendous speed. ON the
engine were Engineer Netf, his little
son Russell, and a farmer, John +. Pile,
with his wife and daughter, while on
the ears were some twenty IaborcrS
returning from their days work.
At the foot of the grade were
standing number of cars loaded
with stone. Into these the runaway
train dashed with fearful velocity. The
engine and cars were thrown from the
track and Pile, his wife and daughter,
were buried under the former. When
taken out they were dead. The en-
giu"cr and his son were severely
scalIcd, the latter fatally. \ number of
the lahorcrs jumped from the

Ignorance of Cook

A prominent physician says that the
average cook is absolutely ignorant of
sanitary cause and effect, and that the
kitchen processes are sources of illness
more often than Is imagined by placing
milk, jelly, butter, and other ahsorhents
in the open air without covering them
up. If a medical man wants to secure
organisms for investigation ne will eX-
pose gelatine to the air where maIig-
nant germs are confined, and the CELIA
tine quickly attracts and holds them,
which is the same thing that the food
will do.

Mixed Metaphors.

In a recent lecture in London Sir John
Lubbock gave some interesting rcmInis-
cences of mixed metaphors pcrpetrateG
by speakers in the House of Commons,
by which he showed that Scotchmcn
are able at times TO wrest the laurels
from Irishmen in the matter of liiberni-
cisms. He recalled one speech by a
solemn Highlander in which he gravely
informed the House that certain APP
preparation of e. 600, 600 for the Afghan
war was "mere flea bite in the ocean"
while another Scotch member remarked
that ''you may depend upon it, sir, the
pale face of the British soldier is the
