A YANKEES SHREWDNESS.
Sailed His Claim and Quietly Waited for
His Victims,

Sailed His Claim and Quietly Waited for
His Victims.
Judge Stevens, of Ironwood, is good
story teller and, one evening, when the
thermometer was below zero at Iron
wood and the wind was whistling out
side of a cozy room where was burning
a cheerful fire, he related a tale of a
Yankees shrewdness. The judge is an
old miner and went out west with the
rush for gold. Near a claim where
the judge was working was thin, an
gular New Highlander. who just kept
shoveling ore and paid no attention to
any one else. One day some capitalists
came along and casually picked up a
few chunks from the Yankees output.
When they got back to town they had
them assayed and they yielded wonder
full results. The capitalists jumped in
the air for joy. Then they went back
and there was the old fellow shoveling
the same as ever and not saying
word.
you'll never do anything this way"
remarked one of the capitalists.
"Well, I'll get on" returned the
Yankee, plying his pick with renewed
energy.
"You should interest capital to help
you develop that hole in the ground"
continued the capitalist.
Can develop it myself, guess" said
the Yankee.
''Think you've got anything?"
Not yet. Nothing in sight
Then the gentlemen took several
more pieces of rock and went back to
town. These assayed even richer than
the first samples and the capital
lists were wild with excitement. They
went back the following day to see the
old man who gazed upon them with
unconcern as they approached. He
was taciturn individual, with an hon
est face, and he looked as though he
would rather die than wrong anyone.
my friend" said one of the capital
lists, ''what will you sell out for?"

"Butwe want to buy"

cit amt worth ten cints."
"Will you sell it?''
Nope"
"Give you twenty thousand dollars"
Nope"
Finally sixty thousand dollars was
offered
"Well," said the Yankee, you can
have it, if you want, but tell you it's
nothing but hole in the ground. May
be worth lot some day, but now it
amt worth sixty cents"
But the money was paid and the cap
italists received the hole. The Yankees
assertions were correct. The hole was
not worth sixty cents, but the taciturn
Yankee had spread a few rich samples
around, and then waited for some fish
to bite. He had an honest face, but
human nature is sometimes deceptive.

OCCUPATIONS AND HEALTH.
Gardeners Live Long Time, Liquor Sell
ers and Rutchera Do Not.

Gardeners Live Long Time, Liquor Sell
ers and Butchers Do Not.
The influence of occupation on health
has long been a subject of interested
observation. But the results of observa-
lions of this kind in different countries
have not always agreed, probably for
the reason that they were made under
different conditions. Climate, for ex-
ample, will make an outdoor occupa-
ton more deadly in one country than
in another. And working indoors at
certain trades may be pursued without
serious menace to health in properly
ventilated premises, where without
such ventilation the work may prove
very injurious.
1t is interesting to trace for series
of years the effect of occupation on a
large number of people in a great vari-
ETY. of employments. The official fig
ures of the United Kingdom show that
between 100000 and 100000 of fe-
males, young and old, are classified as
having a definite ,25S, 900
are engaged at domestic service; 600, 900
each at dressmaking and the manu-
facture of textile fabrics; 2SS, 900 at
laundrying; 125, 900 nursing; SO, 900 lodg-
ing-house keeping. And besides these
occupations there are many others at
which the women employed outnumber
the men; for example, bookbinding,
confectionery-making, straw-plaiting,
1acemaking, glove-making, wooden and
worsted manufacture. And, indeed,
there has been for twenty years tend
ency to increase the number of females
employed in various branches of the
cotton industry.
Mr.. Charles Stevenson, n wellknown
actuary of Edinburg, has contributed
to the expectation of life" tables the
most recent information on this sub
ject, in the shape of little paper on
The Effect of Employment on Life
and HEALTH" in which many curious
facts are presented, concerning the re-
lation of occupations to mortality
rates.
The largest mortality rate in the in
door occupations considered is found
among the liquor Sellers fact which
explains the reluctance of life insur-
ance companies to write insurance on
that class of risks Mr.. Stevens finds
the average mortality among 1000
liquor sellers to be 29.2 He divides the
liquor sellers into three classes
licensed grocers. hotel keepers and bar
keepers-and shows the respective NOR
tally rates to be, from 25 years of age
upward, 1873, &c. 8 and 1874 respectively,
which shows that the life risk of the
average barkeeper is an extremely
hazardous quantity.
Among the 1000 gardeners the death
rate is found to be 1916; carpenters,
1874; shoemakers, 1874; stonemasons,
1G.s: butchers, IT'S, and inn-keepers,
ola. This agrees precisely with the
informal ton collected by American life
insurance companies which shows the
butcher to be hazardous risk.-Mone-

HIS DOOM SETTLED.

Mayor Harr;son's Assassin Declared Guilty
and the Penalty Fixed at Death He
Broke Down Completely When the Yer.
dict was Read.
CHICAGO, Dec. sO-Patrick Eugene
John Prendergast was found guilty Of
the murder of Mayor Harrison on Octo-
Der 90, and the penalty fixed at death
by hanging. The jury refused to be-
lieve that the assassin was insane at
the time he committed the crime.
When the jurors returned to the court
room, after being out one hour and
three minutes the prisoner was not in
the room, having been previously re-
moved to the Jail. 1t was fully five
minutes before he could be brought
back. When he had reached his seat
Judge Brentano, addressing Foreman

verdict.

dict: eve. the jury, find the defend
ant, Patrick Eugene John Prender-
CAST, guilty of murder in manner and
form as charged in the Indictment and
fix the penalty at death"
Prendergast, who was fear stricken
and trembling when brought hack to
court, utterly collapsed when the an
nouncement was read. He sank back
in his chair, his chin dropped and he
seemed completely paralyzed. He
looked appealingly at the court
and at the jury, and tears glist-
ened in the eyes from which
heretofore only angry glances had been
shot. AS soon as the verdict was an
nounced the bailiffs seized the miser-
able, trembling prisoner and started
to rush him back to his cell in murder
ers' row. They had nearly reached the
door when Judge Brentano ordered
them to stop. Let the prisoner re-
main while the jury is polled," he said.
Prendergast took his stand before the
chair in which he jerked and
squirmed around while the polling was
in progress.
When the last juror had made his an
swer Prendergast's knees shook, his chin
dropped down and he would have fall
len had not one of the attending bailiffs
lent a supporting arm. He was half
led and half carried back to his cell.
Before the adjournment of court Mr.
Wade applied for a new trial and the
Judge announced that he would hear u
motion to that effect at future date.
