Fossil Journal; Friday evening about
dusk, at his sheep camp near Lost Valley,
Geo. Hardie met with an accident that is
causing him considerable pain and may
disfgure him somewhat. He had been
cleaning his rifle, when, hearing coyote
bowling close by the camp, he hastily put
the pieces together and went out TO take
a shot at the varmint, which was IN plain
sight but few rods away. In his haste
he failed TO put the gun together correctly,
with the result that when he fired the
needle flew out, passed through his nose
and lodged IN his right cheek. The coy
ote escaped. Georges brother Willie
came in after DR.. Howard, who went out
and tended the patient. At present he
has much more than his ordinary amount
OF cheek, but, unless com plIcations arise,
he will not be permanently dlsfigured.

A Railroad Mans Thrilling Escape From

Il stole a 20-ton locomotive and
four fiat cars once, said Irwin DAN
iel, chairman of the Mulhatton club
that was holding a catch-as-catch-can
in the Lindeil rotunda. II was at
Magdalena, Mexico, shortly after the
opening of the Sonora railway. The
feeling against the 'Americanos' was
quite bitter at the time, some of the
railway construction crew having
been pretty tough specimens of
Uncle Sans song birds. Twas quiet

when a gang of drunken greasers
concluded that hanging would i'm

before I suspected harm a lariat
was thrown about my neck, and l
was brought to earth with a jar that
nearly drove my spinal column
through my broad brimmed straw
hat.
1.-The telegraph line was in course
of construction, the poles being up,
but the wires not yet strung. To
ward one of these poles with its cross

pebbles. l was rapidly choking to
death and realized that if expected

Il managed to fish out my jack

pulled my head off, and as 1 got on
my feet l pulled my revolver and be-

the street to myself, but l realized
that the treacherous natives would
soon begin to bushwhack me and
hurried down toward the railroad,
hoping to find a mustang to carry
me out of danger. found no mus

THE LITTLE GIRL AND THE CANDY.

| THE LITTLE GIRL AND THE CANDY.
Mrs. Calliper Tells the Colonel About an
Interesting Incident.
"Jason," said Mrs. Calliper to her
husband as they sat at dinner,
''when I was coming back from
Cometville the other day, after my
visit to Mrs. Gratebar, the train boy
went through the cars, as usual, with
papers, magazines and candy, and
when he was making the trip with
the candy he threw a package into
the lap of little girl who was sit
ting with her mother. They were
nice looking people, but it seemed to
me somehow as though they were
very poor Imagined that she was
widow and that she had to look out
now for every penny. Well, the lit
tie girl picked up the candy package
and looked at it all over and read
what it said on it, and finally she
said to her mother:
Mamma, can't have this candyp
"And her mother said softly:
"'No, dearie. wish you could,
but mamma can't spare the money.
1.-The little girl didn't say a word
more. She just held the package
and kept it ready to hand to the
train boy when he should come
along. It was plain that merely to
hold it was a pleasure.
Sitting in the next seat back of
the mother and her child was a
woman who couldn't help hearing
what had been said. She had of
course kept quiet, but when she saw
the little girl ritting there holding
the candy she couldn't keep still any
longer, and she leaned forward and
said
Madam, / don't wish to intrude,
but it would afford me great pleas
ure if you would permit me to buy
the candy for the little girl
''Of course this was an intrusion,
Jason, but the mother couldn't fail
to realize from the woman's voice
and manner the spirit in which the
offer was made, and I am glad to say
that she accepted it with smile and
a pleasant I thank you, and the lit
tie girl looked up, smiling, and said,
so do l. And so you see, Jason,
the little girl got the candy after
all"
"Yes, Cynthia, said Colonel CALI
per, land I think could guess who
the woman was that gave it to her."

Cling Desperately to Life.

Cats, according to the old tradi-
ton, have nine lives, but they are
not the only creatures that enjoy
such a plurality. Infusoria have
been dried and restored to life by
moistening after remaining inert
dust for 81 years, and the drying re-
suscitation has been successfully
tried II times on one lot of rotifers.

few cases even warm blooded ami
mails have been restored to life after
apparent death from freezing.-New

stopped and looked at her visitor and
asked, ''Is you mad at met" Still the
little girls tongue was tied, and she
would not answer. At last, Ellen's
patience being exhausted, her temper
arose, and promptly deciding that
strong measures alone would answer

The latest improvement for skaters Is a sail
With this adjunct the excitement Of the cNcr-
else is Increased in the ratio that the labor Is
decreased. \ Chicago paper in describing
the use of the sail by skaters ON the lake
says:
1t IS q rare sport, an exciting combination
of skating, icc-boating and being caught Ga a
cyclone. The framework Of canvas is usually
about by feet, with CrOss-har To give the
skater n firm hold and chance to swing his
sail with the wind in turning. A blusicry
breeze came from the southwest. The human
icc-boat, after having tackled To the south of
the course, had only to spread the sail to the
wind. The skater stretched his arms out for
a firm grip on the bar, stileucd his legs aud
came tearing over the glazed surface, the ily-
ing runners leaving two white strcalN- Ia the
wake. II was q wind which for boating would
have been called squall, and when Il pulled
against spread Of sail It sent the skater
away rs though he had been fired ont Of q
gun.
Three men with red faces and winter wraps
were scudding before the gale. They under
stood their business and could shift for a
quick turn, otherwise they would have been
carried into the open sea around the break
water. Ono had smaller sail of iib shape,
but he seemed to move swiftly rs the other,
\ certain knacl Is required In handling the
sheet under still wind, and green hand
who tried 1t became upset and went whiriing
across the ice like the jug-haudlod article
