The Gopher Plant.

When travellers crossed the plains
at the time when the Pacific rail-
roads were first built, beautiful
plant called Euphorbia albo-margin-
alta used to come up frequently along
the railroad tracks, which the labor
ers believed to grow from seed that
had been waiting there to sprout
since the food. They called it Snow
on the Mountain" because the bracts
under the flowers, such as we see in
Poinsetta and other euphorbiaceou
plants, were striped with white
among the green. 1t is now stated
in California circles that where this
plant grows gophers will receive no.
tice to quit. 1t is remarkable that it
is said of another euphorbiaceous
plant, the castor-oil plant, that where
it is grown moles will never appear.
No one has put great faith in this
statement, but that two plants of the
same family should be watched by
two classes of observers, wholly in
dependent of each other, and be re-
ported to have exactly the same
effect on destructive rodents, indi-
Gates that there must be something
certain to bring about the like con-
clusions.-[St. Louis Globe-Demo-

There is terror among the people
living on Mud Bay Point, caused by
the roaming through that country OF
drove of wild hogs. There are a
dozen or two of the beasts. They
have been breeding there for about
seven years, becoming wilder all the
time, but not until the last two
months have they made themselves
dangerous.
They are of large-boned variety
and have grown to an enormous
height. They also have tusks. They
live mostly on the skunk cabbage
growing in the swamps, but as this
provender has run low they have be-
come further enraged with hunger
and are seeking other food.
Only few days ago they took
after feet-footed pony and ran him
down, killing him almost instantly.
The residents Of the Point have found
it necessary to keep their stock
within doors. Occasionally, however,
an animal has become loose and lost
its life by the attacks of the boars.
Nobody in the neighborhood dares
go out after night, and extreme eau
ton is exercised when out of doors
during daylight.
A number of expert riders and
marksmen living in Olympia are con-
templating the formation of a COM
pany to engage in a wild boar hunt
on Mud Bay Point, and it is probable
that the fierce drove will be exter-
minated. The people living there do
not feel equal to the task alone

Young Eddy, when he saw his sled
empty, let 60 his hold upon his oxen
and fell backward, through sheer ex-
haustion; but almost Immediately he
sprang to his feet again In horror.
The worst danger they had been in
tonight was upon them; for either
one of their former pursuers, or an
entirely new conner, had uttered his
blood-curdling scream just over their
heads.
They were in q narrow opening,
only a few feet from the first ledge,
where there was q sheer descent OF
sixty feet, with rise of twenty feet
of broken rock above them. Moth
ing could save them now from an en-
counter with hungry panther.
Were the poor oxen fated that
night, one and all, to perish that
their precious load might be savedf
The oxen had made but few stag
gering bounds away, just to the open
ledge, when they were checked and
sent budding and backing upon each
other again by the sudden renewal Of
danger, and the leaders, in their
efforts to get back to their human
friends, turned completely round
upon the other yoke, twisting them
until the sled grated over the ledge.
Just for q moment the Mortified
young people forgot their own dam
ger, as they watched the white
stripes in the leaders faces and list
ened to the sound Of the sled-runners
on the rocky ledge; then another
notwithstanding scream, and huge
body shot through the misty air.
There was frightful believing and
a short scramble of hoofs; then sled,
oxen, and panther disappeared, to be
heard from but once more with q
crashing thud as they struck the
rocks below.
The suppressed feelings Of the
straw-riders found vent this time
in a regular stampede for their
homes; the girls were crying and
sobbing, and Internationally ac-
cepted help from the young men;
and all, though it was mid-winter,
forgot completely their lost wraps,
caps, uOOuS ana mlUCenS.
All thought for certain that Waldo's
team must have gone over the ledge,
but only few of the strongest young
men had breath to express their grief
or pity. Their surprise and Joy were
about equal, after they had recovered
their breath sufficiently to see, count,
and remember names, to find in the
crowd Of settlers coming out to meet
them, every individual Of the first
load.
Waldo and Eddy suffered the most
from the adventure; Eddy had rheu-
matte fever. Waldo constituted him
self doctor and nurse-in-general to
him, and they talked over many q
time the fearful incidents of the ride.
The two places where the oxen fell
were made the common hunting
grounds of both settlements, and
many panther, wolf, and fox were
killed there before the winter was
through.-[R Romance.

A Cheap Town.

The city Of Fort Payne, Ala, sold
under the hammer the other day for
100000. The sale included $4,000
acres of mineral lands, 1000 town
lots and number of costly manufac-
turing establishments, as furnaces,
rolling mills, factories, hotels, etc.
Fort Payne is "boom town." in
which millions of money were invest

was eagerly taken up by the Eastern
people, and after costing some $5,-
