Gold Seekers in Big Luck.

CHICAGO, Oct. %. A special
from Great Falls, Montana, says:
A stampede is being made for the
new gold fields on Harley creek,
and the hills are teeming with
prospectors, who have staked out
every foot of ground in the vicinity
OF the first claim, and are out with
a brand new town christened Jo-
hannesburg, as token Of the fu-
ture Of the camp. The rock is OF a
dull terra Gotta color, that brushes
easily between the fingers, and
bears gold in large quantities. Jo-
hannesburg is in the belt of noun
tains, and Of easy access.

Louisburg, in 1916. No one knows
how it came into Harvard's pos
session but when the library was
remodeled some twenty years ago
the cross was placed over the en-

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Reports of
a desperate battle in San Juan,
coffee growing valley between
Holguin and Brajagua, were con-
firmed by dispatches received by
the Cuban Junta last night. The
forces engaged were led by Gen.
Antonio Maceo with 5000 Cubans
and Gen. Echague with l,SO0 Span
iards. The greater portion of the
Cubans were not actually engaged,
according to the report, but con-
tinued the advance toward the
west after a battle.
Only 500 cavalry defended the
rear of the Cuban army and kept
the Spaniards from advancing.
The Spanish troops did not fight
with the valor which distinguished
their ancestors. About 300 of their
number were killed.
Gen. Maceo's westward move.
ment was for the purpose of sue
coring the insurgent forces in San
ia Clara province, as he received
word that they were threatened by
the columns of Spanish infantry.
The latter was received from act
ing Brig. Gen. Rego, who at Mani
carogua is holding a position in
the mountains about Midway be-
tween Cienfuegoes and Trinidad.
He has about 81, 200 men, divided
into seven companies of cavalry
and ten of infantry. He stated to
Gen. Maceo in his dispatch that
the Spanish forces were massing
at CienfugeOes, Trinidad and Villa
Clara. There are three roads
to Manicaragua from these places.
Spies reported to Gen. Maceo that
they were to make concerted at
tack. In Villa Clara there are
over $500 Spaniards, in Cienfue-
goes about 1000, and in Trinidad
$1,000, making in all formidable
force to be repulsed by the Cubans.
1t is supposed that the hardest
fighting will occur in the province
of Santa Clara. AS soon as the
sugar cane fields are relieved of the
dampness from the recent heavy
rains, the insurgents will begin to
burn them. Gomez has given
orders to destroy everything.
From Havana comes word that
it is daily practice of the Spanish
jailors to take several prisoners
from the forts and prisons and
shoot them. Each morning the
prisoners are stood in line. Ten
men are selected for death. Per-
haps it is the first ten; perhaps the
last ten men or the middle men.
The names of the condemned men
are not ascertained. They are
simply penned up and treated as
animals.
In the province of Santa Clara,
Gen. Luque is said to be rivalling
the reputation of Garrigo, "the
butcher" in the eastern province,
according to letters received from
Sagua la Grande, on the north
coast of Cuba. His force recently
captured mountain hospital, near
Diego del Vale, after fierce COM
bat with two hundred Cubans, who
were guarding the sick and wound
ed. In the hospital were thirty
one insurgents, unable to partici-
pate in the engagement. The
Spanish soldiers put every one to
the bayonet. Not one of them
were left alive.

A True Story.

Soon after the death of n. P. Willis
whose poetry, by the way, was once upon
a time far more fashionable than any body's
poetry is nowadays-Mrs. Willis opened a
girls school at the family home on the
Hudson River, in New York State.
Aunt Dora was fortunate enough to be
one of the ten original pupils.
l hope she was not always disobedient,
but on one occasion the young lady disre-
garded the advice of her beloved teacher in
a way that came very near putting her out
OF the way of temptation forever.
The ice in the river had begun to show
signs of breaking up. and for that reason it
was announced that skating must not again
be INDUCED in.
Aunt Dora, who was only Miss Howells
in those days. took her skates, neverthe-
less, and slipped away quietly and alone.
Before she reached the river Miss Willis
beautiful big Newfoundland dog Nero
came bounding after her, and he refused to
leave her, even when she had donned her
skates and was skimming along over the
ice.
The day was bright and clear, and the
young lady was so eXhilarated with the
fresh air, and perhaps with the conscious
ness of the outing being genuine esca-
pade, that she enjoyed herself immensely.
She forgot that the ice might not be safe,
and kept to the middle of the river, where
the ice was windswept and smooth. When
she had skated down stream for mile or
two Nero came bounding to her, and seiZ-
ing her dress IN his teeth he began to pull
and tug as if to induce the girl to follow
him.
She paid no attention except to scold the
poor fellow, and presently to her unspeak-

keep that contract he had walked away
with his teeth set and with a very white
face, which he did not once turn toward
the house again when he had gone out of it.
Mrs. Jordan, Arthur and the baby We're
holding down the claim" while they
waited for the father all these weary
months. But as if Trifer were already
the family mascot, behold the very day of
his coming brought the father striding
homeward over the rough trail that led
away to the mines and crying for thanks
giving when he found the little mother,
grown brown and stout in the dry noun
tain air, and the children prospecting.
Trifier was everybody's pet and friend
from that day forth. With the father he
clambered down the valley by the short
trail that was too steep for Badly and
learned the trick of carrying letters which
afterward made him known east anu west
as "Star-Route Trifer."
Mascot as Triter turned out to be, he
never quite solved the problem of life for

Let NJ be the imaginary car, moving
from A toward B. Lay off on ALB dis
lance CT, and at the point f set off the
line FE, equal, and perpendicular to CT,
complete the Parallelogram CDEF and
join CE; now, CE is the diagonal of the
parallelogram CDEF.
Let us now suppose that while the i'm
aginary car M is moving with uniform We
locity along CT, at the same time the
line CT, car and all, is being moved with
the same velocity along the direction CD
and FE; we have now what is called
superimposed velocity, and according to
the well-known laws of the composition of
yelocities in dynamics the resultant yeloc-
ity, III amount and direction, is correctly
represented by the straight line CE, which
we know is the diagonal of the parallelo-
gram CDEF.
Now, although the actual velocity of the
car along CT has not been changed by the
superposition of velocity, yet the virtual
velocity along CE is the result of the
,superimposed velocities, and the virtual
velocity along CE is as much greater than
the actual velocity along CT as the square
OF the line CE is greater than the square of
the line CT, and in this case CE is equal to
1.414 times CF-that is, the virtual velocity
is 1.414 times greater than the actual
velocity.
When the line CT moves from its origi-
nal position to the position DE, the car, as
we have shown, has virtually moved along
CE, but when CT stops in the position
DE the car, instead OF continuing to move
along Ell with the virtual velocity it APP
pears to have acquired, actually is found
to be moving along EG with the original
velocity it mad along CT. Now, what has
become of the superimposed velocity it
was supposed to have acquired while
moving along CE?

have the good luck to resuscitate one of
those unfortunate puppies! And doesn't
1T seem that person must have an excep-
tlonally hard heart and comfortably lat
pocket-book who can make up his mind to
drown puppies that are worth hundred
dollars apiece? Ughi
Hector and Victor were trained by
carpenter who lives in Alameda and who
has spent all his spare time teaching dogs
to do things ever since he was boy
Before Hector was year old he could do
forty distinct tricks and he is always to be
depended upon to do at least forty other
things meantime which are funnler and
show more intelligence than the tricks
themselves.
When the dogs were being educated they
were addressed always in quiet, converse
They were never punished for stupidity,
but were always praised and rewarded for
being clever.
Hector learned to jump rope, and would
jump ten or twelve times in succession, as
if he enjoyed it. Poor Victor never could
see any fun in jumping the rope, and
thereby he demonstrated that weli-bred
dog has feelings and memory Some one
tried to teach Victor to jump and IN mo-
ment OF Impotence struck the sensitive
creature with the rope.
That settled it. Victor never could be
induced to try again.
The tricks which the dogs enjoy and
which seem to make them useful citizens
are most interesting to watch. For in
stance, it was their habit to keep the
kitchen woodbox filled, bringing the sticks
in their teeth and grinning with delight
meantime.
Watching them it almost seemed to me
that it might be simpler 10 teach dog to
keep the woodbox filed than to induce
boy to attend to it.
And besides, the dogs will go as far
aheld as they are allowed, and will gather
the tiotsam and jetsom OF field and flood,
with choice selections, perhaps, from the
nelghbors' stores.
Hector used to go many blocks to
newsstand to buy Sunday paper. One
day the man who usually attended to him
was not present and some one else gave
him the paper. Hector accepted it, but
with thoughtful air. He walked very
slowly down the street little way, then
came back, dropped the paper on the
counter and sat down to wait, as if he
would say, 81 am not at all sure that you
understand which paper my master pre-
fers. This one seems rather bulky be-
lieye 1 will wait till the proprietor
returns"
And he did.
Another day Hector was sent for cigar,
and carried the money IN his mouth.
When he jumped up to lay the dime on
the counter he iostled the elbow OF
stranger who stood by. This man turned
and struck Hector.
The dog, insulted, looked the stranger
over coldly, grasped the situation, gath
cred up his money and walked out of the
shop the personifcation of injured dig
nifty.
Repose of manner seems to be natural to
bull terriers. Our friends never allow the
exuberance of animal spirits to run away
with them. They are always polite, re-
served, attentive. They are SO careful
that one cannot help concluding that the
Frenchman who declared that "a child
year old knows as much as an intelligent
dog" could not have cultivated the ac-
quaintance of the thousand-dollar dogs.

the Jordan family until the winter rains
setin. Then, when his master set out to
prospect among the hills where gold is
less precious than water, Triher went
along.
And after month the faithful dog came
again to the lonely cabin with a packet
tied about his neck. A letter to the mother
read: Send Trifer to the Postoffice with
this letter for Turner. If Turner brings
packmuIes to me in time to get US out be-
fore the water is exhausted we can bring
enough gold to pay all our debts and to

and caressing were interrupted by instruc-

HUNTINGTON'S INDICTMENT.
Railroad Strikers Apparently Opposed
to Its Being Quashed.

Railroad Strikers Apparently opposed
to Its Being Quashed.
With the announcement that g. P.
Huntington is on his way to San Fran
cisco, fresh interest in the indictment
pending against him in the Federal court,
not alone among his colleagues, but among
the railroad strikers, one of whom swore to
the original complaint which brought
about the Indictment by the Federal Grand
Jury, is revived.
After the Jury in the Mayne and Cassidy
cases had been dismissed without arriving
at verdict, all the strikers under indict-
ment and out on bail were notified that
they could have their bondsmen released
and that they would be allowed their free
dom on their own recognizance.
When the leaders applied for the priv
ilege it was suggested to them that the in
dictment against Huntington ought to be
dismissed and thus all proceedings grow
ing out of the strike allowed virtually to
come to an end, but the suggestion met
with no favor.
Just before all the indictments against
the strikers were dismissed on the recon-
mendation OF United States District Attor-
ney Foote, proposition was made to the
strikers that If they would allow the in
dictment against Huntington to be dis
missed all the cases against them would be
dropped. This suggestion, however, was
not fav orably considered, yet the strikers
are not all free and exempt from Federal
prosecution, while Huntington is likely to
live to undergo the ordeal of a trial on the
charge of alleged violation of the inter-
state commerce law for having issued a
pass to Frank M. Stone.

THE CH1LDREN's HOUR.

Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes pause in the days occupations,
That is known as the Children's Hour.
1 hear in the chamber above me
The patter OF little feet.
The sound Of a door that is opened,
And voices soft and sweet.
From my study see in the lamplight,
Descending the broad hall stair,
Grave Alice and laughing Allegro,
And Edith, with golden hair.
A whisper and then silence,
Yet know by their merry eyes
They are plotting and planning together
To take me by surprise.
\ sudden rush from the stairway!
a sudden raid from the hall!
BY three doors left ungarded
They enter my castle wall.
They climb mp into my turret,
Ger the arms and back of my chair.
III Try to escape they surround me
They seem TO be everywhere.
They almost devour me with kisses,
Their arms about me entwine,
Till think OF the Bishop Of Bingen
In his Mouse-Tower on the Rhine.
Do you think, o blue-eyed banditti,
Because you have scaled the W all,
Such an old mustache as 1 am
Is not a match for you all?
have you fast in my fortress,
And Will not let you depart,
But put you down into the dungeon
In the round tower of my heart.
And there viii keep you forever
Yes, forever and a day,
Till the walls shall crumble to ruin
And molder in dust away.

able horror, Aunt Dora found herself and
Nero floating on cake of ice which was
rushing along in the rapid current of the
river.
The girl knelt beside the faithful dog
and chung to him, silent and helpless. The
Ice OF the river was breaking up every
where now, piling cake upon cake with a
dreadful rush and roar, the river swirling
between and over all.
The bridge was just ahead and about its
stone abutments the ice was grinding and
crashing grandly.
Dora was without hope, half stunned
with dread. And Nero?
Nero simply opened that huge mouth OF
MS and roared out series of bays that
would have put a foghorn to shame.
Above the rushing of the waters and the
pounding of the ice the signal of distress
rang out
And hearing it men rushed shouting to
the shore-strong men, with clear heads
and hearts that knew no fear of the food.
A boat dashed out, two men rowing it,
without a thought apparently of their
own peril.
And Dora HowelIs was snatched from
the jaws of death by unconscious heroes,
who have never to this day grown tired of
singing the praises of the great Newfound-
land dog who saved girls life in the year
OF the big floods.
