A curious case Of house moving was
recently witnessed in Oregon: A man
who owned a residence at Seattle
which cost him $4,000 to erect, removed
10 Olympia and did not have sufficient
funds to build another house. He
bought a lot and concluded to remove
the building he owned at Seattle
Everyone laughed at him, but he per-
sisted. Rolling the house down to the
river he loaded it upon a scow and it
was soon at Olympia, a distance Of
about sixty miles. Then he had 1t
rolled upon his lot, and, strange to say,
not a timber was strained nor even a
piece of furniture broken, although he
had not removed the contents before
starting the house upon its unusual
Journey.

THE LITTLE HEROINE.

The flames in cyclones rolled on high
And swept along tidal wave,
With binding smoke dark grew the sky
And everywhere was heard the CRY,
oh God, is there no power to save"
peep horror seized the multitude
And on they rushed they knew not 1here;
The flames advancing thro' the wood
And curling like serpent. brood
Hissed death thro' all the heated air
The strongest fell-ah. human power
However great at times how vain
As frosts Lay low the fra lie flower
So did those fires In one short hour
Leave awful ruin in their train
The strongest fell-bat there was one
Alittle girl Of twelve sweet years,
Who with her baby brother won
A place Of safety, while the sun
AL yainly struggled with its fears
Saved saved ali, yes: but who can tel
just how that little girl was savedl
Who guided her footsteps so we'll:
Who gently raised her when she fell.
Who shielded from the flames that ravedl
Aye, more, who gave in direst woe
To her the superhun}l power
To carry darling Blby Joe,
The little brother she loved 50,
And from deaths sickle save that howeri
All, love, you say. love, mighty love.
Sweet love that fires cannot kill;
Twas love that moved the powers above
To once again in terror prove
That nou hit can thwart their sovereign will
And yet we read in Gods good book,
What sweetness in that golden cup)
Fen when by parents fond forsook,
And when in vain for help we look
It's then the Lori will take Us up
Oh Freda Johnson, darltnt child,
Oh, Freda and sweet Baby Joel
Down through the fiery tempest wild
God saw your guilelesS hearts and smiled
And saved you for he loved you so.

Shamed the Duchess,

An English woman of rank-a Ouch.
esss-was very apt to forget to pay
her bills. A milliner, whose large
bill had been repeatedly ignored by
the duchess, at last determined to send
her little girl, a pretty child of ten
years, to beg for the money which
was so much needed. "Be sure to say
your grace to the duchess" said the
anxious mother, and the child gravely
promised to remember. When, after
long waiting, she was ushered into
the duchess presence, the little girl
dropped low courtesy, and then,
folding her hands and closing her eyes.
she said, softly: "For what l am
about to receive may the Lord make
me truly thankful" As she opened
her eyes and turned her wistful gaze
on the duchess, that light-hearted per-
son flushed very red, and, without
delay made out a check for the amount
due to the milliner.-Argonaut.

SiuTdoFod AIiuuls Wllllams rs Well Rs
PiSlIsl aud His Three Children.
CHICAGO, July lO.-AnOther appalling
crime will be laid at the door OF II, H.
Holmes, the notorious insurance swlnd'
lOr and the alleged murderer Of the
PieIzels. That Minnie Williams, ol
Fort Worth, Texas, met her death al
tho hands Of Holmes, there is scarcely
a doubt. That she died In this city In
q violent manner, has been proved al
most ronclusiyely,
Late tonight the police found In q
stove in the thres'story brick building
Mt 70l SiIty,third street, which was
built by Holmos and In which both he
and the Williams girl lived, a quantity
oil charred bones, buttons known to
have been on drcss owned by Minnie
Williams, md n partly mOltOd portion
Of wach chain which was positively
identified aS having been the property
of the girl.
The chain was instantly recognized
by @. L. Davis, who occupies portion
OF the store formerly used by Holmes
when no was in the drug business, Ss one
that he had seen Miss Williams wear,
and which he had on two separate oc'
calionS repaired for hOr, Davis
also claimed to recognize tho
buttons as those he had seen
on dress worn by Miss Williams. The
ghastly discovery was made late to-
night by force OF detectives working
under tho command Of Inspector Fitz'
patrick, who had all day been at work
searching the building from collar TO
garrett.
On tho top floor in the room which
was used by Holmes "a an office, stood
an Immense stove, fully eight feet high
and three feet in diameter, with
door sufficiently largo to admit
OF the admission Of human
body into the interior. This stove had
in the former examinations OF the
building beon entirely overlooked, and
no examination OF its contents had over
been made before. Inspector Fltz.
patrick opened the door aud pOkcd
carelessly among tho debris with his
cane.
Almost the first thing ho turned up,
was 4 human bone, badly chRrrod. He
hastily jerked it out and found that 1t
was, beyond all question, hu.
man rib OF nn adult. The contents
OF the stove were thon quickly dumped
and other portions Of bones too badly
burned to admit OF positive inlentitica-
ton a. belonging to any particular por-
ton OF the body were also found.
\ number OF small bu tIons, said to
have been worn on the front OF Miss
Williams dress, wera picked up, as was
also about six inches Of gold watch
chain, which was identified.
