Hope aud Memory Both Are False

1t is always pleasant task for opti-
mists to dwell as much as possible on
the buoyancy with which every healthy
man regards his unknown future. and in
the natural pleasure he takes in recall
pardi playing the trump card of pessi-
mism, demonstrates with mercilesS pre-
cision the insufficiency of such relief We
cal not in reason expect, he argues, that
with youth behind us and old age in
front, our future will be any Improvement
On our past, for with increasing years
come increasing sorrows to all men; and
as for the boosted happiness Of the past
which of us would live it over again for
the sake of the joys it contained? Mem
ory cheats us no less than hope by haz-
ing over those things that we would fain
forget, but who that has plodded on to
shoulders ten of the vanished years with
their mingled pleasures and pains2 Who
would return to the youth he is forever
pretending to regret2
Such thoughts are not cheerful COM
panions, but If they stand the test of ap-
plication it is useless to cali them NOR
bid The pessimist does not contend
that there is no happiness in life, but that
for the generality of mankind. it is out
balanced by trouble; and this fiinty as
surance is all he has TO offer in place
of the fascinating theory of compensation.
1t would seem as though no sane man
the choice for one pleasant delusion is
worth a hundred disagreeable facts; but
in this serious and truth-hunting age
people have forgotten the value Of fiction,
and, like sullly children, refuse to play
at anythiDg.=AgneS Applier.

The experiences Of a young married
lady well known in this CITY, saws the
San Francisco Cali. in getting rid Of
her princely husband, will not prob
ably convey a lesson to unmarried
ladies whose Dapas are rich enough to
make hunting titled husbands a rea-
sonably profitable industry. II is q
lay deeply planted in the human heart
that each individual shall ACQUIRE
knowledge by his own experience. The
wisest Of men cannot transmit their
knowledge except by adding to the
store from which all knowledge is
drawn. The flight OF one princess from
her husband will not prevent a GER
tain young lady, also we'll known in
this state from flying in the opposite
direction. II would be interesting If
the actual princess and the rich young
lady who proposes 10 become a prin-
cess would get together and exchange
condolences. It would be an interesting
interview, but it would not have ma
teriaI results. All the tears the actual
princess could shed would not prevent
the aspirant for princely honors from
seeing how il is herself.

in his coat pocket. At the door a man
was standing who unsuspectingly en-
tered when admitted and asked for
some chlOrate of potash for a sick
child. While taking the jar containing
the medicine from the shelf the stran-
ger suddenly turned out the gaslight
ana advanced a step or two, confront
ing Off with a cleaning revolver and
command to give up all the money

the keys when an opportunity present

knocking his revolver to the floor. A
desperate struggle ensued and Off was
badly beaten over the head with the
butt of a pistol, his scalp being terri
bly, cut. He finally managed to draw
his own weapon and fired two shots as
his assailant made his exit through the
rear door. No booty was secured. Off s

Pictures on Their Pnsscs.

A California county editor objects
to the rule of the fair commissioners
requiring from editors photographs to
be put On their passes. He attacks
the rule in a sarcastic strain, and
winds up the attack with the following
imaginative description Of the arrival
of a rural journalist at the fair: 81
Bird, the young and forcible editor Of
the Jaytown Combined Harvester, ar
rived today. He had a little difficulty
though in gaining admission. Since
his photograph was taken he has been
working eighteen hours a day and has
become somewhat enaciated, there
fore does not do his picture justice. He
was allowed to enter after his sigma
ture was compared with the one the
ticket bore and indentifying himself
by producing an unreceipted bill for
his photographs. Virginia Chronicle.

The Jaclsxon Hole Country.

a correspondent of the Laramie
Boomerang writes from Marysvale, in
the Jackson's Hole country, as fol-
lows:
Now this time of the year you will
see $4,000 elk concentrated within a
space of ten miles long and one mile
wide. Also bands of black Tail deer,
some mountain sheep and moose,
chickens, ducks and swans are numer-
Gus. People here have to keep watch
on their haystacks at night because a
common. ordinary fence will keep no
elk inside nor outside, and it is no TN
common thing to wake up in the morn
ing and find hundred or so elk and
deer inside your fence at your hay
stack, or in your yard, and YOU need
not go further than to open your door
and shoot all the meat you want.
Sometimes it don't require a gun, but
good knife will bring all he meat You
need.
of course everybody knows Of the
great riches buried along he banks of
Snake river. Gold has been found in
quantities. but heretofore it could not
be saved because it was so line. AL
these obstacles have been overcome Ey
Mr.. Boyce of Pocatello, daho. This
gentleman has at last invented a ma
chine which saves 50 per cent of the
nne gOl0, ana one month test mas
proved that anyone owning one of
these machines can save $50 , ct day on
Snake river. The machine IS a rocker
process with an endless motion and will
work. with 300 inches of water, fifty
tons Of gravel per hour or 1900
tons in twenty-four hours. The
cost of the machine is $500. which
is cheap. have letters from
six different parties coming in
here next summer with machinery.
One gentleman by the name of Wilson
has bought six of these machines and
is preparing to come in here. I think
every foot of ground along Snake river
will be taken next summer. Will say
that about 10000 acres of good placer
ground is in Jackson's hole waiting for
someone to take it up and work it. A
party of Laramie gentlemen own about
1000 acres and w. O. Owen is at the
head of this company, and they will
sure make good deal of money out of
it. I have a rich gentleman from Miss
issippi ready TO put in a large ditch
costing $50, 600. Will commence work
as soon as the snow disappears, and
then look out for the Snake river gold.
I had a talk with one of the heads of
the Mormon church, a bishop, and he
says 100 families are booked for Jack
sons hole, to arrive next July. The
settlers in here number now about 125
in all-seventy-five men, fifteen mar
ried women and the rest children. Cat
tie raising is the main business, and
during summer taking out tourist and
hunting parties. Will gladly give any
Information about this country.

Blinded by a Birds Bill.

tFrom the Florida Times -Union.]
 Late Saturday afternoon a small boy captured a water turkey, one of those vicious, long-necked and sharp-billed birds that cry so wierdly along the waterways of Florida. He placed the bird in a box and on his way home stopped at the store of '. A. Burge, corner of Magnolia and Duval streets, Brooklyn.
 What have you got there?" asked MT. Burge.
 "A partridge" thoughtlessly replied the boy.
 Let's see him." and MT. Burge stopped down and peered between the slats at the bird. As quick as flash of lightning the long, stiletto-shaped bill shot out and pierced the pupil of Mir Burgess right eye. With cry of agony he fell back and came near fainting, the pain was so excruciating.
 He was assisted to his home, about four blocks from the store, where Dr. Drew was summoned. The doctor, up- on examining the eye, found that the sight had been totally destroyed.

COULDNJT STAND IT.

But why did he desert Democracy? asks the Register, referring to Candi- date Coffin, in whom it feels friendly interest. The Register does not answer its question, but 1t Is not hard to answer. The reason Brother Coffin de- serted Democracy was because he couldn't stand 1t. He has enjoyed peace and prosperity ever since he made that sensible move.
 Brother Coffin made up his mind that he couldn't stand Democracy twen- ty-one years ago. There are many who will vote for him this fall who have made up their minds this year that they can't stand Democracy, and who wish that they hadn't waited until now to come to that decision. They now know that they would have had more peace and prosperity than they have had if they had deserted Democracy before they joined it.
