When King had finished this story there
was general incredulity, and another sailor
named Bednarsky was asked for a yarn
He told of three sailors (brothers) who were
left without money in London.
Zone morning." said Bednarsky, "all OF
them were strolllng down the street arm in
arm wishing for few cents to get an eye
opener, having swollen heads from previous
rapid existence. They came upon a nicely
dressed man of middle age who accosted
them, and after he had learned of their
condition told them he was the devil, and
that he could and would supply them all
the money they wanted under one condi-
tion, which he explained as follows:
"'You may have all the money you can
possibly dispose of. Put your hand in
your pocket as often as you like for any
amount, and it will always be there At
the end of three years. however, demand
your soul but even then if any one of you
can wish me to do anything which cannot
perform you shall be spared
sit was agreed to by each one. and imme-
diately they were abounding in wealth.
Shall describe how that three years was
spent2 No, but suffice it to say that every
possible luxury that money could obtain
was indulged in The three years flew by
like single day. The donor kept strict
account, however, and upon the proper day
he called OH the three brothers for an &c
counting. The first asked for the creation
of a full rugged ship and was gratified. The
second asked that his massive mansion be
annihilated in thirty seconds, and this was
done.
Both of them lost their souls, of course.
1.-THE third and youngest brother still
held to his roaming life upon the sea, and
at the expiration of the third year was On
pleasure trip in a magnificent yacht far out
at sea. He vas not out of reach of the evil
one, however, and was called upon to wish
and die. He called the crew ON deck and
had pump rugged amidships, with the sue
tion pipe over one side of the vessel and the
discharge pipe over the other, and demand
ed the devil to pump all the water from one
side of the ship over to the other side. The
devil looked puzzled, scratched his head
and vanished-outwitted.
"That man is still sailing in his yacht,
enjoying the immense wealth he got
through the evil spirit"
About that time the officer of the deck
appeared and passed the word, eStand by
your hammocks," and all hands adjourned

aved many lives, and the best practical
conclusion to this little notice is to give his
answer to the questions asked by reporter
of the St. Louis Dispatch.
How do you avoid being dragged under
By drowning people9"
Keep of until you see how they are go
ing to act. If they lose their heads and
try to grab you, let them get their fill OF
water and pull them out after they are
helpless. Otherwise they will drown you
as well as themselves. When you have
them, don't try to hold them up out Of the
water. That is too hard and firing Get
5he drowning man on his back, put your
hand under his head and swim with the
other, going ahead of him. Then il he
tries to grab let CO. and you are out of his
reachn
"What is the best way to swims"
''On the right side, with the heart near
the surface Swim low in the water, be
cause the more you protrude the greater
the weight you have to carry. While on
the side you cut the water more easily
than going breast on, and you are in
an easy breathing position. Swimming
breast on the head is thrown back in an
unnatural, tiresome position, straining the
leaders of the neck and making breathing
difficult. On the side the stroke is hand
over hand, one arm never appearing above
khe surface"

THE CURES AT CANTON.
A Minnesota Village Where Miracles OF
Healing Are Performed.

A Minnesota Village Where Miracles OF
Healing Are Performed.
Fillmore county is in the southeastern
part of Minnesota. Canton village is in
the southwestern part of Fillmore coun-
ty. In Canton village is small Cath
olic chapel called st. Michael's; that
chapel has small spire; that spire has
small window, and in that window there
is, or recently was, phenomenon which
many people considered a miracle.
It was picture of a woman holding an
infant child Neither the woman nor
the child looked at all like the-standard
pictures of the Madonna and infant
Jesus, as tho child represented very
chubby and broad jawed baby of the
healthy western type, while the woman
bore the likeness of a stout Swedish or
Norwegian nursegirl Nevertheless there
they were. There was no way of account
ing for their being there, and imagina-
ton did the rest. 1t was considered
miracle, there was rush of visitors,
miraculous cures" were reported, and
now Canton is celebrated.
Los Angeles herald., 1893-01-08

Tho story is very curious. The Cir
cular window had been without glass
for some time when Father Jones or
dered new one from the only store in
the village and had it put in place. The
sun was shining full on the glass when
the glazier left it, and few minutes
later little girl on the opposite side Of
the street cried out. "Oh. see the pretty
pictrlrep'
Passersby followed the line OF her
pointing finger and saw the image in the
glass. A crowd collected, and Father
Jones, the village priest, was sent for.
He saw it and so did all the rest, but
Catholic priests are as rule very wary
Of giving encouragement to such things,
and he decided that it was in the glass
originally. He had that glass taken out
and another put in, but the picture came
again, not SO boldly outlined as before,
but still plain enough to be recognized.
Father Jones then went up inside the
spire and looked through the glass, but
on that side it was perfectly clear and
free from lines of any kind.
Bishop Cotter, of that diocese, was then
consulted and pronounced it delusion,
and as thousands of people were crowd
ind the little village to see the wonder he
ordered the glass taken out. Meanwhile
an invalid suffering from an ipcurable
disease entered the church to pray and
went away completely cured, as he al
legged. This started second pilgrimage.
A boy with curvature of the spine en-
tered the church and went away straight
and sound. Then all the cripples and
invalids of that section thronged to Can
ton, and at last accounts the little vii
lage of four or five hundred people was
literally overcrowded with the lame,
sick, blind and MANNED.
1t is. to say the least, a puzzling affair.
1t is standing rule in the Catholic
church that no event is to be considered
miraculous until every possible natural
explanation is disproved and every rea-
sonable doubt DESTROYED. One explana-
ton, and the one generally accepted by
skeptics, is that some talented photog-
rapher or manipulation of lenses has been
amusing himself by transferring an
image from some distant point of van
tage, the process being the same as that
used in producing the stage GHOSTS"
which excited such wonder some twenty
years ago. But what about the "cures"
of which over score are now reported?
It's very pretty problem as it stands.

Saver.
Captain L. D. Blondell, the swimmer
and life saver, is now giving lessons in his
art in St. Louis, and modestly claims to be,
since the death of Captain Matthew Webb,
the greatest swimmer in the world. He is
an artist in that line, too, and All enthusi-
asst, and claims that it is all mems duty to
learn to swim, especially soldiers, sailors,
boatmen and travellers.

of the sailors l could get into conversation

would drown if they should fall out of a

JUMBO IS THE MONARCH
The King of Herd of Ameri-
can Bison.
wEREsIAucHTERED BY MILLIONS

The Way In Which the Buffalo Has Been
Wiped on the Face of the Earth-Wan-
ton Staying for which No Possible Ex-
cuse Can BE Made.
Five miles west from Omaha a herd Of
buffalo grazes on a big ranch, which is sur
rounded by barbed wire fence. There are
sixty in the herd, and Jumbo is the mon
arch. Plainsme; who have slaughtered
his kinsmen by the hundred say they never
saw a finer animal. He weighs 5000
pounds; his brown beard nearly sweeps the
ground; his strong black horns are almost
lost in a magnificent crest of silky brown
hair, and his shoulders are level with the
head of a tall man. Devilish Dick, as he
is called, is almost as fine a specimen,
but there is a vicious CLEAN in his eye
which prevents very close inspection of
his points. Four years ago one of the cow
boys came little too near this tremendous
brute, and one sudden toss of the massive
head sent the cowboy to the country
where there are not supposed to be buffa-
loes.
This is the C. J. Jones herd. one of the
remnants OF the millions that once swarmed
over the plains.
Forty years ago, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat, it would have been as easy to
number the leaves of the forest as to calcu-
late the strength Of the vast hosts which
swarmed all over the western plains and
hills from the Mississippi to the Pacific
and from Canada to the Gulf. OF all the
quadrupe6s which ever inhabited the
earth, naturalsts tell us, no one species
ever marshaled such innumerable armies
as did the American bison. AS late as 1871
it is estimated that there were in the great
southern herd which covered the country
south of the line of the Union Pacific rail
way, between 3,00e, 600 and 100000 head
In that year the railroads penetrated the
country, and the systematic slaughter be-
gan.
The report of the Smithsonian institution
gives these figures for the hunting for the
three following years:
In 1872 white hunters killed ,491 4S9 buff
faloes and utilized the hides of 497, ,163 In
1878 the number slaughtered was sos, ,65S,
and the number used was 754 ,329 In 1874
only 15S,5S3 were killed and 126,S67 were
used. OF the gigantic army of 3,157, ,730
butchered by white men during these three
years over half were left lying untouched
where they fell.
Today even the bones which whitened
the plains for miles have disappeared, and
there is not known to survive a single
specimen in wild state.
In 1887 there was herd of 200 under gov
ernme1t protection at Yellowstone park
There may be a few there now, but none
has been seen for year or more, and they
are supposed to have been killed off.

extraordinary strength with all the labor
organizations, and he is one of the very
few politicians emphatically indorsed by
all the workingmen's organs. He was
first elected in 1889 and has since been
reelected yearly. His votes and speeches
on the free lecture bill, tunnel bill and
anti-Pinkertop bill, as well as other la
Dor measures, attracted much attention
