It Was Q Great Bore, but Fate Was Against

 The man in the corner of the car seat was looking so extremely Respondent that tho drummer, who was feeling pretty comfortable across tho aisle, thought he would go over and cheer him up bit.
 "Excuse me, he said, sitting down behind him and resting his arms on the back of the seat, "you look lonesome. and I feel that way, and I thought might come over and see if We couldn't com bine our burden and both of us take a lift at it. :"
 Tho Respondent one turned n pair of grateful eyes upon the intruder.
 Much obliged, I'm sure,' he re- sponded, with q washed out kind of a smile, but reckon you can't do me no great amount of good. I'm chronic this way"
 What's the matter? Sick?''
 "No; just kind of run down at the heel for lack of encouragement. Every thing lay hand to seems to go tho oth- CT way. It's got so bad that start up stairs sometimes, and the next thing 1 | know I'm ill the cellar. Whats your business?"

''lvat my bad luck followed me there too. Let me tell you one case, for instance. " and the chronic gloomer manifested more interest than at any time previously. II lived out there where there are petrified forests way down in the ground, and as all my neighbors had good water from artesian wells 1 thought I'd have one too. As a fact the well was necessity that couldn't be done without. So I borrow ed enough money to sink it and went to boring on my own hook instead of letting out the contract Well, I ought to have struck water ill three weeks, but I didn't. After had gone down about 50 feet 1 struck solid rock, and, by jiminy, kept drilling right through it for three months, and it was the hardest rock you ever saw inch hole put I through. l kept on working, though, till run out of money, and then IL ort- gagged my place. for moro and used up that, and then I called in one of my neighbors to talk about it. He was post ed on well digging, and he went out with me to look at it. He took up a handful of the borings, which were as dry as if they had come out of an oven, and after examining them a minute he begun to laugh. Itwasn't any laughing matter to me. and got mad and come back at him right smart"
 '' How deep have you gone:' said he.
 1.-TWO hundred feet, said I, 'l5O of it through the solid rock.
 " Do you know what you've done:' said he, laughing some more.
 No, said l, 'what:'
 "'Well, you've struck the top of one of them petrified trees down there with your drill and have bored holo mighty nigh through it, I should say, if you'v gono down through l50 feet of rock. ''
 The Respondent ono sighed profound, ly.

Dur ing all my experience in the west have never known Hn administration that has de alt with the Indians in as clear and con- scientious a way ss the present. The secretary of the interior has without any partisan bias, done ln every instance his best to promote the interest of the tribes and the government. and from my own observation think that he has thus far been very successful"

How to Stain n Floor.

It will be found very difficult to stain the center of a floor to match the bor der. The quickest means will be to stain it with burnt umber mixed with van dyke brown ground up in water (not oiD and diluted with boiling water, in which a piece of soda has been dissolved. This will take if the boards are clean, dries soon and can be repeated if not dark enough. It can be waxed and polished for dancing by being brushed with n stiff brush to initiate frottoir. Spirit varnishes will not stand the wear and tear. Permanganate of potash is another stain that might answer the same pur pose

s1os ENDS OF THOUGHT.

We unconsciously judge all men by our selves.
 Domestic felicity is of as many types as religion is.
 Women admire handsome men and love homely ones.
 Cupid always goes about with his bow and arrows loaded.
 A wise man discovers by patient study what fool stumbleS upon.
 While n man is thinking how thing ought to be done a woman will do it.
 A woman talks at her best when she doesn't know what she Is talking about.
 No woman should ever worry over the loss of n man who hadn't the courage to ask for her.-Detroit Free Press.

o. and M. T. MALoNEY. PUarzSHEas.

THE constitutionality of the street car vestibule law in Ohio is upheld by the su- preme court of that state in decision re- gently handed down. The law was passed in April. 1893. and requires all companies to provide electric cars with vestibules to protect the motormen from the severity of the weather during the winter months. This has already been done voluntarily in several eastern cities. and a number of states. including Minnesota. have passed similar laws. It seems that the Ohio com panies opposed the law. and the lower courts generally beld that the statute was unconstitutional This decision has now been reversed by the supreme court of the state.
