Well said, brother! And the truth
of your assertion was exemplified in
1892, when the Republican party,
which had found a full treasury in 'S9,
emptied it in three short years and
made a deficit for the Democrats to
Wrestle with.

THE "DEVIL'S DAGGER"
A Young Herdsman Meets His Death by
Falling on n Cactus Plant.

Young Herdsman Meets His Death by
Falling on II Cactus Plant.
A singular death is reported to have
occurred recently at Glorictta, N. NJ
A young hcrdsman on the ranch of st.
James left his home few days since to
track band of mountain wolves which
had been committing depredations on
the herds under his care, but expected
to return by night a day or two,
however, passed without bringing news
of him. His wife, becoming uneasy, n
party of his fcllow-ranchmen started
out to look for him.
This search was for some time unshc
cessful until large flock of buzzards
were seen lowering above some object
in the little valley of a small local ar.
rovo. Riding to this it was discoverel
to be the body Of the unfortunate Del
gado. The remains were badly dccom.
posed, but the manner of his death was
evident.
He had evidently been thrown from
his horse upon n cactus plant with such
violence as to drive the long, keen
thorn of one branch into his heart.
Another also penetrated his stomach
and would, in itself, have proved fatal
had not the other given him more
sudden dcath-blow These thorns jus.

A LION ON TIE LOCOMOTIVE.
Ne Was Only Mountain Lion. But Mo-
body Disturbed Him.

Ne Was Only n Mountain Lion, but Mo-
body Disturbed Him.
Last winter when the snowstorms
were so fearful throughout the noun
tains in Utah and the earth was cov-
cred with snow to the depth Of five to
ten feet and remained hidden so long
the wild animals were forced to despcr-
alton. The wolves, says the Detroit
Free Press, were starved and weak,
and what Is known as the mountain
lion almost pcrished from starvation.
Its great strength failed it and man
with knife could soon take the life
of an animal that short time before
could hold powerful OK or horse and
make a meal of his flesh
The hungry animals after awhile dis
covered that food was to be had along
the railroad track, where passengers
threw bones and scraps of victuals
from passing trains. Often two starv-
ing coyotes would engage in deadly
combat over chicken bone that had Il
short time before been ridden of its
last vcstigc of nourishment by some
economical person who did not care to
pay sevcnty-iivc cents for meal. This
was the condition of things.
Engineer Cast had charge of engine
No. ljl, which was known as 1.-The
helper" from the fact that it helped
trains up the mountain and when ut
the summit cut off and dropped back
down to the bottom ready to help an
other. One night when business on
the road was slack Cast noticed some
thing wrong with the gearing under
the tender and remarked to the fire
man that they would get off and repair
it. When half way down the noun
tain side he brought the engine to n
standstill, and the two men went to
work at what proved to be Il twenty
minutes job packing hot box on the
tender. The tallow pot was left at the
boilers head.
After completing the repairs the men
were mounting the engine again, only
to see huge mountain lion devouring
the tallow and holding full possession
OF the engine cab. 1t was cold night
and the snow drifting. The men had
already remained outside until they
were very cold, and the chances Of dis
possessing Mr., Lion were very mcagcr
as he snapped his teeth and flashed his
eyes and fast stored the tallow out OF
sight. The only consolation the men
had was that the tallow would not
last long at that rate, and even this
thought was not entirely satisfying, as
they had no way Of determining that
one of them would not go the same
way at the conclusion of the tallow
feast. Finally, after fifteen minutes
further delay, the tallow pot was
empty, and giving growl, as much as
to say: II am very thankful, gentle.

leaped from the cab and disappeared
