About that time the clock struck 9. The
mare backed her ears, looked up and down

"Politeness is like pneumatic
tire. There is not much in it. but it
eases many a jolt in the journey of
life.
ga pleasant disposition, like oil
in bicycle bearing, reduces fric-
tion and prevents a world OF wear
and tear.
"Our lives are like roads. Some
are smooth and even from begin
ming to end, while others abound in
ups and downs.
"Ambition is like a bicycle sad
die. Though frequently sat upon
it generally manages to be on the
top.
"The world, like bicycle would
soon come to stop were it not for
the cranks.
"Like link in a bicycle chain
we may not amount to much indi-

the wheels 60 round.
Like balls in a bearing, the life
of some of us must be one contin-

Prevention of Typhoid Fever

Prevention of Typhoid Fever.
New York Herald.
The marine hospital service pub
fishes a recent report prepared by
the medical society of the District
Of Columbia on typhoid fever in the
District which is worthy of especial
notice.
The society finds that typhoid
increases in proportion to the sat-
uration Of the soil with decompos-
ing organic matter and to the
drinking Of infected we'll water, but
decreases'in proportion as a city is
we'll severed and uses only pure
drinking water. The lowest NOR
tally from typhoid is in England
and Germany, where expert engin-
eering has been freely employed In
sewering the chief towns and cities.
The abandonment Of all wells
and pumps, publication OF the sew
erage systems already existing by
replacing as rapidly as possible all
damaged or defective drains, ex-
tension OF the sewerage to all parts
of the city and other measures to
prevent soil contamination are
therefore recommended. Careful
inspection Of all diaries from which
the milk supply is drawn and the
enactment Of law to prohibit the
sale OF milk without a permit of
the health office are also proposed.

LUCKY GOLD HUNTERS.
Poor Men Who Struck it Rich in
the Victor Fields.

Poor Men Who Struck it Rich in
the Victor Fields.
During the period of first loca-
tions among the rich mines at Vic
tor there were incidents which
form an interesting history con-
corning the character Of the men
and the peculiar circumstances I'M
der which they made their lucky
finds. All Of them were poor and
nearly all have quickly grown
from poverty to affluence, while
many others now share the bene.
fits Of their fortune. 1t is we'll
known that the two leading dis
coverers were poor carpenters-W.
s. Stratton, the millionaire owner
Of the Independence, and w. T..
Shemwell, who found the Elkton.
OF all men known to possess
wealth, Mr.. Stratton is one of the
least pretentious, though he real.
ICES the benefits and blessings Of
fortune, and says he will enjoy the
uses of his money to the end of
making the balance of his life
pleasant. Shemwell, owning 100,
900 shares the Elkton, is over in
Honolulu with his family having
a good time on his income of 81 900
per month.
1t is we'll known that Burns and
Doyle were also poor young men
who found the rich Portland mine
by the usual chances of the pros
pector, and for some time were I'M
aware Of their good fortune. When
they had reached a depth Of eight
cen feet in the process OF develop
ment work, John Haman, another
poor prospector, purchased third
interest in the claim for $500. AT
ter the purchase, greatly to his joy
and, in one sense, to the discom-
future of the locators, an assay
from the ore gave returns of $40, OOO
in gold to the ton. Immediately
after that the partners shipped
nineteen small sacks that netted
them $4,000 cash. Since that
time these men have grown
wealthy, and the group Of mines
belonging to the Portland contin'
| ues to grow in richness. Many
others in the district are now go.

experiences, and there are many
