THOUGHTS BY THE WAY.
BY AUNTY

It's interesting to me to see the
maneuvers of a girl who is getting
ready to be married. ! have known
girls to tell stories In connection with
this event, when they would not have
told one about anything else. When
they are making wedding ''fxings,"
and sewing their tlnery they will hide
1t from you, and sneak around, and If
you catch up with them, they will
look as innocent as lambs, and tell
you an untruth. Now, my young
friend Virginia says: ''The girls all
do it," Well, do you do everything
they all do? The truth is l can't
blame Virginia for some little ways
that are dark" for she has Il brother
whodelights in teasing her, and seeks
opportunity for so doing. / feel sorry
for a girl who has a ''teaser' for a
brother, being a brother, he feels as
though he has ''carte blanch" To do a
sister as he pleases. Nirginia's broth
er Dick is a real torment, and he
would love; yes, actually love to see
anything going on that would even
suggest a wedding. He would tease
her till she had no rest, and many
: times bring bushes to her cheeks.
I'm sorry 1t is so, but | think she will
be glad when she is married and away
from, and he will all too late realize
what he has lost a loving, indulgent
and helpful sister. When he came
home to-day, and missed her, and was
told that she went out on business.

A little girl in Boston wrote a com.
position on boys. Here it is.
1.-THE boy is not an animal, yet they
can be heard TO q considerable dis.
lance. When a boy hollers he open ms
his big mouth like frogs, but girls
hold their tongue till they are spoke
to, and then they answer respectable
and tell just how II was. A boy thinks
himself cleaver, he can wade where
the water is deep, but God made tile
dry land for every living thing, and
rested on the seventh day. When the
boy grows up he is called a husband,
and then he stops wading and stays
out nights, but the grew up girl is a
widow and keeps house.

DENVER. Col, August 29.-News WAS
received this evening from Central City
to the effect that thirteen men employed
in the Sleepy Hollow and Americus
mines, situated midway between Black
Hawk and Central City, lost their lives
by an overflow of water. AS yet NJ
other details of the disaster can be
learned, but it seems that in these
mines, heavy underground floods OF
water are occasionally encountered
The men were at work on the night
shift. The theory advanced seems TO
be that they aere drilling a hole when
the body OF water came rushing down
upon them Another theory is that

Richmond Labor Men.

RICHMOND, Va, August 29-The Star
chamber session OF the labor represent
tatives last night, continuing for Ave
hours, has created widespread comment
among politicians here. BY hair
breadth's majority it was decided by the
labor people 20 go into the leglsla tive
primary October S, and it is almost Ger,
tain that there will be five independent
legislative candidates on the ticket
This, 1t is claimed by the candida tes
who have announced themselves, will
give them a better sho wing than ever.
1t Is thought that this decided move
ment on the psrt OF labor people will
work wonders toward sbolishing cam
paign speeches by the other candidate
who arc not anxious to give full vent to
their political views in meetings where
labor people are largely assembled. The
opinion seems to prevail that the labor
candidates will be selected from outside
the list already in the field.

OF our navy in the waters of that conn
try, the naval authorities here are still
looking forward with eager interest to
the completion of the three II hit draft

are designed especially for the Chinese
service and are expected to be OF great
value In coast navigation and In ascend
ing the Chinese rivers.

centering in China as at present, It is
important that the United States
should be prepared not only to protect
American citizens, but II the oppor.

merce. These vessels are provided with
"overhangs" tor the projection OF the
propellors against the drift wood and
snags In the Chinese rivers, and it is
believed Will be found TO be especially
adapted for serving both these purposes.
They will also enjoy the advantage
OF being moved more economically than

tected during storms and In the winter
