tn. Old peadvOod and the New.

If the occupants Of the graves in the
Deadwood cemetery could come forth
and talk, what a wonderful story they
could tell I kept general store in
Deadwood in 1875 and was there when
Rev. Henry Weston Smith was SO cruel
ly murdered. He was on his way to
Crook City to preach a sermon wnen he
was ambushed by Indians, who mistook
him for Frank Curley, a desperate who
had stolen a squaw and i'll treated them.
They shot Mr.. Smith from behind
and cut him to pieces after he fell from
his horse. l once saw two gamblers
take a man out Of a den on what was
called Two Pair row and march him
up to the head Of the street, where they
shot him through the head. He had
been cheating them at their own game
for moro than a week. and the night
they caught him he happened to be un-
armed. All that is past now. You might
think you were in a quiet mining vii
lage in Pennsylvania The site OF my
old store is occupied by little Metho-
dist church. The place called the Bad
Lands, where there were so many gam
bling saloons and so many murders, has
never been rebuilt since it was burned
several years ago. The old time miners
who worked on grub stakes have disap-
peared. Their places have been taken
by wealthy corporations. Placer mining
has been abandoned entirely. Once in
awhile an old fellow will bring in
bag Of gold dust. but not often. 1t is
hard to make gold mining pay nova
days without plenty Of capital, because
with all the new appliances for quick
work used by the big companies the in
dividual operator has very little show.

But the Next Time He Calls lie VIII BE
Admitted without Question.
The next time the janitor Of the Bid
ston England observatory meets the IA
nous Cambridge Mass builder Of tele-
scopes he will recognize him instantly.
Mounted on one Of the massive piers
against which the 18 foot tide Of the
river Mersey flows in and out twice ey-
cry "a hours stands piece Of artillery
whose duty it is to set the time for the
busy English seaport with a rattling
discharge each day at O'Clock.
To strangers lowering about tho docks
for the first time the gun is something
Of a mystery, for, though the loading Of
it is done in plain sight Of everybody,
no one save the initiated knows how it
is discharged.
The piece is really fired by electricity,
and if any curious spectator Of tho ex-
plosion could trace the wires throughout
their underground path his eye would
follow them for miles until they reached
the Bidston ridge, where tho highest
point on the Cheshire side Of the river
is dominated by the graceful dome Of
an observatory.
The presiding officer Of this establish
ment is the official astronomer Of the
Mersey docks and harbor board, and
much Of the work Of the observatory
runs to the correction and adjustment
of ships chronometers in the interest Of
mariners entering and leaving the port
Of Liverpool. But the place also has an
astronomical interest, and being pos
sessed Of a fine equatorial telescope Is
somewhat Of an attraction for visitors.
Not many weeks ago travel stained
tourist from transatlantic parts toiled
up the heights leading to Bidston obsery-
atory and at the gate Of the inclosure
presented his card. The janitor first
glanced at the pasteboard and then di'
rected upon the visitor a stony stare OF
the true British type.

Of people come here all the year round,
but we never let 'em in. It's against

modestly, IF you were to show that

HE treats 'em all alike. "

tured to add, "and-no.
"Oh, what difference does that
maker"
"Well, you know, I've como a long
way to see the director and perhaps be
might want to see me"
"Why," retorted the janitor, that's
lust what lots Of 'em say"
Now, look here, my man." said the
traveller, beginning to lose patience,
take that card right to him, and III
wait here till you return. "
WELL" said the other, "Iu take
the card, but it'll not be bit Of use "

quiet response.

AHA That Is Hard on Gloves.

Gloves figure largely in the list OF nec-
essary expenditures by the wives OF the
cabinet officers, as upon each official en-
tertainment when they, with the presl-
dent and his wife, constitute the receiv-
ing party pair Of white gloves must
be sacrificed. The fact that the tunc-
ton is card reception does not lessen
the certainty that the glove worn on the
right hand, which is extended to the
passing stream of guests, becomes, be-
fore the close Of the evening so soiled
that no future effort at cleansing is OF
the slightest avail. The glove on the
left hand, Of course, remains spotless.
Mrs. Cleveland never wears q glove
ON her right hand at receptions, as her
experience during her first occupancy OF
the executive mansion taught her that
by so doing she avoided the intense pain
that invariably followed great amount
of handshaking when the glove was
kept on. Mrs. Harrison was compelled
TO altogether omit handshaking on ac-
count of the condition Of her hands,
which were at times so swollen with
rheumatism as to make the slightest
pressure a matter Of positive agony.
All things considered, it would seem
the most sensible thing to omit entirely
the handshaking feature OF public and
card receptions at the White House,

A Severe Cut.

A young would-be poet, with
more brass than genius, happened
one eAening at a large party 10
meet an editor who had rejected a
number of his communications
Tie willing was exceedingly dis
posed to sneer and run the editor
upon his sapient criticism, until at
length the editor, in perfect good
humOr, cut him short as follows:
"LOOk here, my fine spark, If you
carry your joking much further
upon me, L will take ample re-
venge by publishing one of your
pieces of poetry, without altering
or correcting i'll" Tne shout OF
laughter that followed this thrust
was terrific.

Opening the Doors.

The action Of the University club Of
Boston in promising admission to women
10 new set Of apartments which it is
planning to build is for this club a
radical one. By it the number Of mems
clubs in Boston that have granted priv
ileges Of this sort to women is increased
to three, all old and conservative ones.
In New York there are at least seven
prominent mems clubs that offer club
accommodation 10 their friends Of the
other sex, one Of these, the Cloister,
making the presence Of women at its
Sunday evening dinners an especial fea-
ture. Throughout the country the club
element has participated more or less in
this movement, few even of the con-
servatiye close communion London clubs
having yielded with 'he rest to its ad'
vance.

THE KETTLE.

There's many a house of grandeur.
With turret, tower and dome,
That knows not peace or comfort,
Aud does not prove a home.

To crowd my daily lot,
But this l ask-a kitchen
Where the kettles always hot.
If things arc not ship-shape,
| do not fume or fret,
A little clean disorder
Does not my neTl es upset.
But one thing IS essential,
Or seems so to nv thought,
And that's a tidy kitchen
Where the kettles always hot.
In my Aunt Hattie's household,
Though skies outside are drear,
Though times are dark and troubled,
You'll always find good cheer.
And in her quaint old kitchen
The very homiest spot
The kettles always singing,
The waters always hot.
And if von kaye headache,
Whate'er the hour may be,
There is no tedious waiting
To get your cup of tea.
don't know how she does it
Some magic she has caught
For the Kitchens cool in summer,
Yet the kettles always hot.
Oh there's naught else so dreary
In household kingdom found
Asa cold and sullen kettle
That do, not make a sound,
And think that love is lacking
In the hearts in such a spot,
Or the kettle would be singing
Aud the water would be hot.

Lifting a Dead Tiger.

When one comes 10 lifting a dead IL

weight. SO does one arrive at due ap-
probation Of its strength after once feel.
ing the forearm, which is one splendid
mass of steellike muscle. Then one un-
derstands how the tiger in his prime
can throw a bullock over its shoulder
and canter away with it. Then, too,
one NAV well come TO poohpooh the
claim Of the lion to be styled the king
of beasts. But however interesting may
be the study Of the tiger In this partic'
Mar phase once or so, it pals after a
time. Lifting it is peculiarly hard and
hot work, and it is dirty work also, and
is sometimes made particularly exasper'
atinE BY the laches Of the elephant Sc
lected for the carriage Of the tiger, for
that intellectual beast Is required to
kneel to receive its freight and to kneel
long enough to allow that freight to be
hoisted on to the pad and fastened on
And as often as not it will rise at the
critical moment just when the tiger has
been raised to the edge Of the pad and
tumble the tiger and some Of its lifters
ON to the ground and so bring about
the status quo ante.
The elephant has wonderful intelh-
gence in some utterly useless directions
1t will, for example, pick up pin with
its trunk, and l dare say with suffi-
cient encouragement would swallow
that and convert its interior economy
into a pincushion, but l have never
known one to direct its talents to the
simplification Of tiger padding, although
have seen many devote their minds
and bodies 10 the unnecessary duty OF
adding to the difficulties Of that opera
tion. -Blackwood's Magazine.
A Further Impetus.
The woman suffrage movement re-
ceived q further impetus recently in the
massage by the Iowa legislature Of q bill
giving women the hight to vote at munic-
ipal or school elections involving an Is
sue of bonds or increase Of the tax levy.
This makes three largo and adjacent
states in that part Of the Union-Iowa,
Kansas and Colorado--in which women
can vote in municipal elections, while
in Colorado they can also vote in all
other elections. This full right seems
likely to be extended them in Kansas
when the men vote on the constitution
al amendment next November. The
movement has also made more headway
in Massschuse Is this year than ever be
fore since the annual agitation before
the legislature began in 1857. A meas
ure giving women the right 10 vote IN
city and town elections has been passed
by the house Of representatives recently
the first time that such bill has evel
got through one branch--5ut was re
iected by the senate later. The discus
sion has shown a growing indifference
and half heartedness on the part Of for
mer opponents, remoustrances from
women having nearly ceased. New
