Fishes allied to these are found in

came to hand. They were packed in an

were about two feet in length. Acting

as '@ho anu f0rtunes
A man whose hair is now snow-white
and whose activity long ago gave place
to the slowness and feebleness Of old age
tells story of how, over so years, In
fact nearly 40 years ago, in the days Of
the gold fever on the Pacific coast, he
stopped a run on bank by quickwit.ed,
ness, nerve and boldness.
1.-THE bank was perfectly solvent" hi
said, but one of those wild rumors thai
used to float over mining towns insisted
that had no gold, and that deposits
could never be made good. The run
started one afternoon just before
the hour for closing, and il
was pretty exciting, | tell you.
Those miners were all armed, and
they swarmed around the house swear
ing, shouting and bowling desperately.
We continued to pay out money up to
the usual hour for closing, and then we
stopped. IL was just about time to stop,
too, for our supply of gold was nearly
exhausted.
"We drove the people out of the bank
and posted big notice on the door:
"'This bank will open at the usual
hour in the morning.
"Ihey cheered at that, but they did
not disperse and leaving an armed
guard in the bank went home to think
over some possible way of avoiding a
collapse. This was the plan that had
to follow: 1t was a slim chance, but nv
only one. Over in S., another town
l had another bank, no better off for
ready gold than this one. | was inter
ested In stage line, and among the
property which had acquired in a
'dicker' once was load of wagon
washers. They were stored over in

gallop for S-,had four horses hitched
TO stage coach, filled several gunny-
bags with washers and loaded them on
the coach. Tho bluff did not stop there,
Inside and on top OF the coach l placed
mar dozen men armed to the teeth to
guard the immense treasure.
I'VE went out of Sat a sharp trot
before daylight, and arrived at my be.
sieged bank shortly before the time for
opening. When the crowd saw the
well hlled sacks they cheered like mad,
but never said a word. | had half
the guards clear a passageway, and
then, while the armed men carefully
watched the crowd, the sacks of washers
were transferred to the vault-it was a
brick and sheet iron affair, on the same
hoor with the Jacksonville the crowd
cheered and cheered.
when it was time to throw open
the doors for business l came out to the
steps.
"'Boysp l shouted, L don't know
how much of run you are going to
make on this bank, so | have prepared
Tor you. All l have to say is, start
right in. There are plenty of full sacks
in this bank, and we can get more if we
need them. The bank is now open for
business
:" well, those boys lifted the hair of
my head with their yelling, and there
was no run. A few timid people with.

pay them without having to open our

THE LIST LONG SLEEP.
People Forget Their Fear Whom the End
is Near at Hand.

is Near at Hand.
Scrlbner's Magazine.
Familiarity with death is apt TO alter
ones earlier conceptions Of it. Two
ideas are very generally accepted which
experience shows to be false. One is
that the dying usually fear death, and
the other, that the act of dying is accom-
panied by pain. 1t is well known to
all physicians that when death is near
It's terrors do not seem to be felt by the
patient. Unless the Imagination is
stimulated by the frightful portrayal of
the supposed "pangs of DEATH" or of
the suiterings which some believe the
soul must endure after dissolution, it is
rare indeed that the last days or hours
OF life are passed in dread.
Oliver Wendell Holmes has recorded
his protest against the custom of telling
a person who does not actually ask 10
know that he cannot recover. As that
loving observer of mankind asserts, so
must everyone who knows whereof he
speaks, assert that people almost always
come to understand that recovery is i'm
possible; it is rarely Eeedful to tell any
one that this is the case. When nature
gives the warning, death appears to be
as little feared as sleep.
Most sick persons are very, very tired;
sleep-long, quiet sleeps what they
want. | have seen many people die. /
have never seen one who seemed to fear
death, except when it was, or seemed to
be, rather far away. Even those who
are constantly haunted, while strong
and well with a dread of the end of life
forget their fear when that end is at
hand.
