CURE FOR WILD OATS.
1t Worked In One Case and 1t Might
In Others.

II worked one Case and 1t Might
in Others.
The Star man was talking to an acquaint-
ance the other day. when a young fellow.
who has blown in the bulk of a fortune on
himself, and is liable to finish it before
many moons. passed by. just little too
heavily loaded to be comfortable.
See that young chap?' said the man.
Eyes, and it's a pity about him, too.
Nice fellow, and with good abilities, II he
would only use them as he should"
Every true, ard he isn't too old to DO
cured, If he went about it right"
'If you've got a cure for that sort OF
thing. and will get 1t patented, you will be
millionaire before the year is out"
II can't say I've got cure but know
Of one now in course of experiment.
He didn't go right ahead. and The Star
man nudged him with a question.
What is it, and where is it?' he asked.
well, I needn't tell you Just that. but
I'll tell you what 1t is. 1 happen to know q
rich man with a relative who is just such
another chap as the one we have been
talking about, only more SO. That is to
say. he was that kind, but isn't now. He
was quick and bright and had good nose
for business. but he would spend money,
and rot make any effort to acquire it. HS
had about $4,000 left to him when he was
twenty-one. and he went through 1t like q
tram through tunnel, ana then Tell back
on his uncle. or step-uncle rather, and the
old man had him On his hands. He be-
came utterly worthless, and was drunk and
in trouble all the time. One day, however,
he had a sudden attack of common sense,
and he braced up and stayed that way for
a month.
'"Then he went to his uncle and made q
proposition to him. This proposition was
to the effect that II the old gentleman
would take an insurance policy on his life
for $4,000. and let him have $4,000 on IL
to go into business with, he would guar
antee to pay the $4,000 back, with the
premium, and assume the policy himself,
within five years. If he failed he would
commit suicide, and the old man would
make $4,000. less the premiums, which, he
thought, was a fair percentage on the In
vestment. 1t looked to the uncle some-
thing like murder. but he thought there
was no other way to cure him, SO he took
the young man up. and the experiment has
now been in operation two years, and up
to this time the young fellow has been as
straight as a string, and Is $1,000 10 the
good, which he has set aside for emergen-
cies, and is going ahead making just as
much more as he can. The old man is so
pleased about 1t that don't believe he will
ask the boy-he's nearly thirty-to fulfill
the contract at the end Of five years. In
case he shouldn't have the full amount In
his clothes just at that time"
Where did you say the young man
lived?' inquired The Star man.
Il didn't say Washington" he replied.

A Jacket Bodice.

Here is such pretty fancy for a jacket
bodice The bodice material is Of pale
green changeable silk, the kind that has a
yellowish sheen. Over this is laid fine sheer
embroidered NULL in the shape of an
epauletted cape, under-arm pieces and a
band of insertion down the back and front.
The lower part Of the silk sleeves is striped
with the insertion. You can see for your
self that it is most lovely, and the ruffle
about the bottom Of the waist is the thing
that gives it an up-to-date appearance. You
krow that all the new blouses are to have
tails Awfully unbecoming to stout fig
ure. but really the thin girl must have her
inning.

Fighting One Fire for Forty Years.
From the Halifax Herald.


The commissioners appointed by the local
government to inquire into the history,
causes and effect of the coal mine fires of
Pictou county have just finished taking
evidence. The work of the commission was
directed mainly to an investigation of the
condition of the Foord pit. This mine has
been on fire in one place or another since the
sos, and it is burning yet. Explosion after
explosion has occurred, and many lives
have been lost. When fire broke out in
one place the miners resorted to another
sinking a new shaft. To avoid the fire on
an upper level, a shaft was sunk and coal
taken out on the level Immediately below
the fire. Soon the fire came through, and
again the miners were driven out. Moth
ing that the owners could do awaited to
drive out the fire, and the splendid mine
has been practically abandoned, though a
little coal has been taken out on a level
below a part that is on fire. The object of
the commission is to learn whether some
thing cannot be done to save SO valuable a
property as the Foord pit.

Durrnnt Sentenced.

SAN ERANCIsCo, Dec. 6.-Judge Muir.
ply this morning denied Theodore Dur
rants motion for new trial, and or
dered the prisoner back to the county
Jail. In 10 days he will be taken,to San
Quentin prison, there to await execu-
tion.
A large force of deputy sheriffs was
necessary to aid the police in qua, ding
the entrance to the courtroom. The
crowd was as large as during the trial.
Judge Murphy briefly overruled the mo-
tion for a new trial. He said he had
twice reviewed all the testimony in the
case, and every ruling he had made dur
ing the trial. He had examined all the
affidavits submitted and all authorities
cited. He said if he thought an injustice
had been done the prisoner or any error
made which affected his rights he would
not hesitate to grant new trial what
ever the consequences or what criticism
might be made. But the court was sat
isfied no error had been made, and that
Durrant's trial had been fair and impair
aial, that no right accorded to him had
been invaded, and that the jury's YER
dict had been in accordance with the
law and evidence.
Durrant was then ordered to stand up.
The prisoner rose, pale and scowling,
but as impassive as ever. The judge
briefly reviewed the crime of which Dur
rant had been found guilty and ex-
pressed his entire concurrence with the
verdict. He advised Durrant to seek
repentance and forgiveness in divine
source, now his only refuge. The court
then pronounced sentence, which was
that Durrant be kept in close confine-
ment by the sheriff in the county Jail,
and within 10 days be delivered to the
warden of San Quentin state prison,
there to be kept in close confinement
until such day, to be afterwards fixed,
when he should be hanged in San Quen-
tin until dead.
Durrant heard his sentence without a
twiching muscle, staring at the judge de-
family, Then he sat down, made some
remark to his father and smiled.
Dickinson, for the defendant, took
formal exception to the remarks of the
court on the merits of the case, and said
he would this afternoon give formal no.
tice of an appeal to the supreme court.
The courtroom was then cleared.
