She Was Warm.

The incident occurred while party
Of strangers were being taken through
the Chollar workings. In the party was
a girl-an innocent little thing, whose
knowledge Of mines was limited to a
few vague impressions acquired through
reading and hearsay. She had only one
vivid recollection, and that was that
mines are hot.
The party was mixed, and the gentle
men, as usual, carried lanterns. As it
was also large, when preparations We're
made to go down the incline the guile
less creature aforesaid and another lady
and gentleman were all assigned to the
lower seat of the giraffe. After the
giraffe started, to further the general
comfort, the girl slipped down at the
feet of her companions and found seat
ON something the nature of which she
did not stop to investigate.
A short way down the incline she re-
marked that it was getting warm. Far
Their on she repeated the observation,
and her companions responded that they
had not noticed it, while the miner who
had the party in charge assured her
that the incline was supposed to be
cool. She continued to call attention to
the heat, however, to the surprise Of
her comrades and their guide, and at
the station she scrambled out of the
giraffe, exclaiming:
"Whew, but it was hot in there"
The miner was mystified; but, casual
ly looking at where she had sat- the
light dawned upon him, and he electro
fed tho innocent little thing and the
rest of the party by dryly remarkinS;
Its no wonder You were warm.
You were sitting Oh that gentleman $

A Fit With Every Drink.

eyes, that's fair whisky" said Colo
pel Bill Avershine as he threw his black
blouch on the bar, "but it amt nuthin
like what we're used to out in the west
ern country.
"They serve nose paint out in my
camp in Arizona that is strong enough
10 walk alone. Let me tell you how I
was introduced to it and its virtues.
IT wasn't tenderfoot exactly, but /
was new to the camp" he said. II
walked up to the bar, ordered whisky
and planked down my dust. The bar
keeper set out a big black bottle and a
thick bottomed glass. Beside the bottle
on the bar he carefully laid a new
whisk broom That stuck me. I didn
know whether it was new coupon
scheme or a suggestion to me that my
clothes needed busting. At any rate, I
was not going to play the tenderfoot, SO
l simply waited to see how the next
customer would fare
"He happened to be big and tough
looking cowboy. He put down gold
piece and ordered whisky in tone of
voice at once expressive and terrifying.
The barkeeper obeyed his command, and
I was glad to see that a whisk broom
was handed over the bar with his drink.
'"The cowboy showed no surprise. He
filled his glass with the poison, raised
it to his lips and drained it at single
gulp. Then he picked up the whisk
broom, walked over to the corner of the
room, brushed the sand off the floor,
laid down in the clean space and had a
fit.
II merely mention this fact, gentle
men, concluded the colonel, "to show
you that it is a pretty strong article Of
whisky we use out i'll my country"

A MODEST PARSON.

He Could Not Be Induced to Live In a Fine
and Roomy uuus4.
Arecent item in reference to the Rev.
John Brown, who has been pastor of a
Presbyterian church in Fall River,
Mass, for 25 years, and who will re-
sign June /, sell his library, buy tent
and preach the gospel when and how
he pleases, renders timely a statement
Of the reasons leading to this resigpa-
ton.
The congregation of the Rev. John
Brown are deeply grieved at his depar-
ture. The trouble arose through their
devotion to him and their desire to pro-
mote his comfort.
The parsonage had long been an eye
sore to the stylish and well to do people
Of the church. 1t was a tiny house, and
the pastors possessions had so far out
grown it that his bookshelves lined even
the halls and stairways. Still the pastor
would not move nor permit hh people
to enlarge his house. Finally wealthy
member of the church, who had built a
large and beautiful home and then
wearied of it, presented his home to the
parish, and now the parishioners insist
ed that their loved pastor should live
there. The result was that he resigned.
He gave his explanation on the day he
presented his resignation.
"From my youth up have had an
aversion to large houses. like to be
within touching distance of my family.
l like sense of fullness, Of safety, in
house. Nothing gives me such pleas
ure as that my books must wander for
resting place through all the rooms,
and that tho plants must crowd each
other from the conservatory and bloom
in every window.
Then he related part of his life be-
fore unmentioned
While he was still in his teens his
father died. Reverses overlook the fam
lily, and finally the children decided to
divide the family property and response
bilities. Two things came to him, his
mother and his mothers bedstead The
care of his mother, even though she was
youthful strength, but the bedstead had
been the trial Of his early years. 1t
had been purchased in the days of great
est prosperity. 1t was extra width and
length, and the headboard possessed an
adjustable ornamental extension which
demanded very high ceiling. Often in
his early struggles, when his income
was very limited, he had longed to live
in some small, comfortable cottage. But
his mother refused. She had only one
argument.

know could never put the top piece on
the headboard in that tiny house"

and on the hearse itself are plumes ami

too, the custom of sending out notices or

Is very common, and sometimes these

In striking contrast with the decorous

graves may be bought outright, though at
enormous prices, and remain forever in

years from the date of burial, and at the

on another layer of earth more collins are
afterward laid When the ditch is filled to

Washington. Nov. 9.-There was a small
attendance at St. Asaph's to-day. The
weather was pleasant, and the track in

squirt, and before Parthenia could recover,
the wire had been reached, with Tuscan a
neck in front. Festival was three lengths
back Of Parthenia.
Weinberg, the even money favorite in
the second, got lengths advantage of
the start though Longbrook was along
side through the back stretch. In the
chute Weinberg pulled out and won as
he pleased.
Kilkenny was the likely one in the third,
with ready takers at even money. He
was quite a disappointment, however,
never attaining q better place than third.
Grampian, a II to / shot, sprang to the
front, and was never caught, winning by
two lengths from Blackfoot, with Kill
kenny third, six lengths away.
Curious took the fourth event from
Samaritan, after an exciting finish.
Ed Kearney was a prohibitive favorite
in the fifth, at 8 to TO- Reynard second
choice, at to l, and Walcott, the out
slider. at 10 to /. The three could almost

distance Kearney got the decision by
a nose, after fine drive to the wire.
