By Wednesday nightt mail A. y.
Mouiton received . iettei from Newton
Major. of Winters, Gala, announcing
the death Of Mrs. Majos which occur
red in San FranoIsco o. last sunday
morning.
Some two weeks ago, II. Moulton re.
ceived advices from Mr.. Major in which
he told Of his wife's dangerous illness.
but later word reached hsse announcing
an improvement In her condition. 1t
seems that Mrs. Major had gone to San
Francisco for the purpose of undergo
ing an operation for the removal Of q
cancerous tumor. but whether she had
been operated on and dexth was the re-
suit, Mr.. Majors brief letter does not
state.
In company with her husband, de-
cased was among the first settlers in
this valley and remained here until the
fall of 80, when Mr.. Major, who had
been the managing partner in the firm
of J. W. Hugus & Co. at this point for
many years, departed with his family
for California. During her long resi-
dence in Meeker, Mrs. Major endeared
herself to large majority OF the old
time inhabitants, by whom she was very
much beloved on account OF her good
ness OF heart and the generous hospital
ity dispensed by her at the old Major
residence. All who intimately knew
the deceased in this valley will shed a
tear on hearing of her unexpected death
and will heartily join with THE HER
AID in extending coincidence to her
bereaved husband and family.

The following story is told on a young
clerk in hardware store at Glenwood !:
One day when the boss was at dinner a
ranchman came in to buy some nuts.
He found the article that suited him,
and wanted dozen. The clerk looked
at the price list and found they were
listed. "25 cents dozen, so off," He
gave low, inverted whistle, and then.
with sudden inspiration, he handed
the customer. 5 cents and told him he
could buy the nuts at the next store.
"By George" he said, when he told the

the best thing could do was to save
the nuts"

than it is thick and about high enough
for Il comfortable seat Then he scoops
out u hollow like a saddle u little back
OF the middle OF the upper surface, and
upholsters it with straw or rags. 1t is
then ready for its trip down hill, and if
the rider is skiilful he will make very
good time on it. But carving it back
to the top of the incline would be too
hard work for even a Russian boy, and
pushing it up hill would be about as
bad.
A clever lad once thought of a better
way, and all other boys have copied him

straw and began blowing through it at
the front of the block with the end of
the straw close to the ice. Soon he had
II little hole in the block, as neatly drill
ed as Il steel tool could have done it. In
the course of an hour and a half he had
driven a hole slantwise through the ice,
coming out at the top just in front OF
the saddle. A stout string passed
through the hole and knotted completed
his sled, which could then be drawn up
hill almost as easily as the best coaster
that ever WAS made. If boy is careful!
