A CITY MISSION.

"I'm not much ont here, but I'm all
right In my place, and II either Of you ever
want help just call on Dick Clifford, he
said to the two men who had nursed him.
"I was fool to try that ride In the sun,
but mother is sick, and I must get back
home. couldn't walt until night to
start."
"And so you waited here three weeks to
get another start, I" said one Of his nurses,
whose name was Jim.
The next night Bob and Jim-Bob was
Jim's sohum-stood shading their eyes with
their hands and staring down the trail.
Far away were the dim forms Of horse
and rider, headed for Tucson, the nearest
railroad town.
1t was a bitterly cold night, and none
but those forced by necessity was upon
the streets. Even for Chicago January
the weather was severe. All day the mer-
curry In the street thermometers had been
below the zero mark. AS night came on a
northeast gale rushed down ACROSS the lake
and pierced with It's humid cold even
through the warmest clothing. Up and
down Clark street tramped homeless men.
With their scanty rags pulled tight about
them, and with hands and wrists stuffed
as Ear into their pockets as they would go,
the homeless ones wandered aimlessly up
and down. Degraded and brutalized as
most of them were, there was something
pathetic about them. On, on, on, never to
stop; forced on by the police and forced on
by the cold; tempted to stand In hot
blast coming from some subterranean fur
naco and then elbowed on by the hurrying
crowd which, going home, had no thought
for the homeless.
In this army Of wanderers was a man,
tall and strong Of build, but wasted and
thin by privation and sickness. His full
beard, rough and uncared for, hid the
gauntness Of his face more completely than
his clothing hid that of his body. In his
mouth he held q short brior pipe, which,
though empty, seemed to afford him some
satisfaction and sense of companionship.
Up the street he walked until he came to
the river. Then as an 10y blast struck him
he turned and instinctively looked for shell
ter. On the corner was a saloon, through
the frost covered windows of which the
brilliant lights seemed to tell of the
warmth and good cheer within. Hesitat-
lngly ne opened the door and entered. A
moment later he was rudely pushed out,
with the information that "this Is no lodg-
ing house for tramps."
Down tho street he wandered, past res
taurapts where the savory odor Of the cook
Ing only intensified his hunger and past
saloons which he would not enter He was
shivering, and at last nerved by his suf-
fering, he approached man who was wait
ing for car.
"Can you spare me dime for bedS'
he said.
The man glanced ss him and moved
away.
Something like blush tinged the cheek
OF the homeless ono and gave IL color
which even the stinging wind could not
impart
On down the street he went, his hands
In his pockets and bis pipe clinched be-
tween his tseth- On mast ssjoons and

lodging houses ne wandered. There seemed
to be nothing else but there was no place
open for him. A little ahead Of him bright
rays Of light streamed from a building and
lighted the icy sidewalk. 1t had no mean
ing for him, and he did not even look up
until the sound of singing struck his ear.
"Rock Of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee"
He heard the words strong and full
from the lungs Of men who sang Justify If
not skillfully. Looking up, he saw the
word Mission" above the door. On the
windows were the inscriptions, "Knock
and 1t shall be opened unto you" and En-
ter thou into the kingdom of the Lord"
Timidly approaching the door, the wan
derer opened IL and entered. There was
no one to put him out. Instead some men
standing by the stove made room for him
to approach. Instinctively he took his hat
from his head and buried his pipe in his
pocket.
Among the men by the stove was one
who had noticed the wanderers entrance
and had since followed his movements anx-
iously and ouriously. The man was in
the prime Of life, and his fur lined over
coat and tho sealskin cap sticking from
one pocket showed him to be prosperous.
He had been listening to the mission exer-
cises, but with the arrival of the wanderer
they had lost all interest for him.
AS he watched the tramp by force of
habit felt in his pocket, and finding his
pipe brought 1t to his mouth and held IL
tightly in his teeth.
Then the stranger stepped behind tho
homeless one and being over him said
quietly, bob Graham"
The tramp started to his feet and looked
anytously in the eyes Of the stranger. Then
he shook his head slowly and said, you've
got the best of me-"
Don't you remember Dick Gifford?"
asked the stranger. Still Graham's head
shook slowly while he seemed to be max
Ing an effort 70 bring his whole life before
him. I"Don't you remember Dick Clifford, I"
the stranger repeated, "and the Gila river
and your shack where you and Jim Merri-
field took care of the stranger who had tho
fever2"
Slowly the Bght of remembrance and
recognition dawned In Graham's eyes.
II remember" he faltered, land you
were going to your mother. And you 'ro
Dick Giffosd"- Then he broke down.
Quietly Clifford led him to the mission
Over TO State street he hurried him and to
restaurant, where only Gifford's prosper
Gus appearance secured them admission.
And where is Jim-Jim MerrifleldS"
Clifford asked at last.
Dead" said Graham, with q strange
quaver In his voice "We lost our sheep
and our money and decided TO try life In
civilization. We cane here and looked for
work. We got IL at last-shoveling coal.
Think of it-Jim, university man, SHOW
cling coal. But he couldn't stand IL, and
the bad air and damp killed him. 1t pref
ty nearly finished me, but I'-- Graham
could say no more, but Clifford understood.
"One of the chief supporters Of the little
Clark Street mission now is gray haired

He was down on his luck once and he
ain't forgot what it Is TO be cold and hun

The notable advance in wages
which the employers of not less
than a quarter of million wage
earners have voluntarily made with
in few months speaks volumes,
as the Boston Globe puts it, for the
feeling of regard and good will
which prevails in multitudinous in
stances between American capital
and labor.
Such a significant fact as this in
crease in pay, coincident with the
revival in mining and manufacture
ing throughout the country, cannot
fail to be appreciated at its true
value by the public. One seldom
reads of strikes and lock-outs. They
are rare exceptions these days.
gas business continues its Onward
march, developing new industries al
most every day, those corporation
managers who look upon labor as
machinery to run at highest speed
and lowest cost will find themselves
left hopelessly in the rear.
alt pays" in every sense of the
word, to promote friendliness and q
spirit of mutual confidence and re.
spect between employer and en-
ployee.-Wheeling Register.

BouutlfnI Crops.

There is every reason to believe
that This will be an unusually pros
porous year with American agricul-
turists. The wheat crop now being
harvested, is extremely good in all
sections, and while this will not be
banner year in wheat production,
the aggregate yield will, it is
thought, very nearly approach the
greatest recorded in the history of
the country.
The indications of Il bountiful
corn crop were never better at this
season and while the crucial period
in the maturing and developing of
the crop has not yet been passed,
there is thought to be good grounds
for the prediction that the total
yield this year will equal that OF
1889, when a harvest of Zip, $685.
600 bushels, the largest, on record,
was secured.
General business would at once
experience the most beneficial re-
suits should the expectations of a
bountiful crop of corn be realized.
1t would have the effect of cheaper
ing the meat products and expand
ing the export trade and it would
at the same time afford an oppor-
tunity to introduce corn as an ar
ticle of food into European markets,
where it is now unknown, but
where recent Investigations have
created most favorable impressions.
The farmer should take heart.
While the prices of all his products
are low, the cost of production has
reached the minimum and busheI
of wheat, or corn, under the sys-
tenn of cheaper prices prevailing on
all manufactured articles since the
repeal of the Mckinley law, will
buy just as much as it would
twenty-five years ago.-Kanawha
Gazette.

Tested for on.

There is every reason to believe
that Mason county will be thorough
Iy tested for oil during the summer.
Many thousands of acres have been
leased in every quarter of the conn
ty, and men arc constantly on the
road leasing wherever they can get
a tract of land large or small. This
insures a number of test wells: and
those who profess to be experts in
oil territory claim that this county
will prove to be one of the best oil
fields in the State. In week or
two several wells will be put down
on the property of the jackson Salt
Furnace, between New Haven and
Hartford City. This county as an
oil field seems to be attractive just
now to capitalists, and we don't won
der at it, when we consider that oil
has been found in the county in
more or less quantities, and of a
superior quality. Now these men
propose to develop this field and to
see what there is in it.
1t don't take such big well TO
make a man rich, as experts toll us
that ten barrel per day well, will
make the owner or owners, a clear
$4,000 year
We don't advise man to pde- all
the money he has in an oil well, but
we honestly believe it will pay him to
risk part of it in the oil business,
and if he strikes a ten barrel, or
over well, he is fixed, and will soon
count his cash by the hundreds OF
thousands.

An exchange has the following
good advice which we commend to
our readers: whether you fight or
work don't make much fuss. The
hen cackIes after she has laid the
egg. The noise and sizzle of the To-
connective are no force. All force is
silent. The heel aw of the mule
may startIe you, but it is not near
SO dangerous as his hind legs.

wagon that rattles most when in

The month just ended marked the
centennial of the last Indian depre-
dation and murder committed in
this State. In the month of June,
1895, a party of Indians visited the
house of John Bozarth situated on
Leading Creek, near Buckhannon.
Mr.. Bozarth and sons Geo. and John
were engaged in drawing grain from
the field to the barn, when they
heard agonizing shrieks in the di-
reetion of the house. They desert
ed their team and started for home
but before arriving sighted Indians
at the house. One Indian took aim
and fired at George who was in
front, but as the Indian was about
to fire George fell upon the ground
as if dead though unframed. The
Indian pursued the father who
made good his escape in fight. Geo.
got up after the Indian passed him
by and escaped him also. The
younger son John was killed. The
Indians at the house killed two OF
three small children and took Mrs.
Bozarth and two boys prisoners
With these they returned to their
towns and surrendered to Gen.
Wayne who had succeeded in affec-
ting treaty of peace.
