GOOD ADVICE.

Marriage 10 a lottery, you say,
And all single folks should give thanks.
Now, do not think it's that way
Or that all the married draw blanks.
Some men are most thoughtless and slow
And quite sure the wrong thing to do.
And others cause heartache and woe.
lam sorry to say this is true.
Some women are wicked also
And cause as much harm as q man.
No one is born perfect, you know,
Or has been since time first began.
But some men are thoughtful and kind
And strive to make life's burdens light
Some very good women you'll find
Who always will try to do right.
For married folks there's good way,
And 1t is quite easy to learn
Love each other well every day,
And all faults to virtues will turn.
There's another plan you might try.
And think 1t worthy Of note
First "pluck the beam from your own eye
Ere you look for the other ones MOTE"
Good Housekeeping.

LOVE LETTERS.
1t should Be a Crime To Keep
Letter Longer Than Six
Months.

A writer IN the Msrysville Tribune
says:
"There ought to be law making it
capital crime to keep letter more
than six months. More than half the
trouble in this world-the sort of
trouble, I mean, that breaks peoples
hearts, and is occasionally aired in the
divorce courts, is caused by letters
foolishly preserved. OF course sensi-
BILE people never write letters that all
the world might not read. But all
the sensible people are dead, for l
venture to say that there is not one of
US who has not at some period of his
life poured forth his soul in letter
he'd give his ears never to have writ.
ted.
If you are a man it doesn't so much
matter, for even if your letters to your
old sweetheart do fall into the hands
of her present husband it isn't at all
likely he'll read them. Men haven't
enough curiosity in the matter. Hon.
orable scruples? Not bit of it. Simp-
ly lack of curiosity. But if you are
a women, doesn't it make you writhe
in spirit to think of those letters you
wrote Jack or Will, or George, when
you were sure he was the only man
in the world? OF course the girl he
married has read them-trust woman
for that-and she has made fun of
your souls outpourings, and-well,
its enough to turn ones hair white to
think of it. Love letters ought to be
written IN ink that would fade in
fortnight, but so long as they are not
people who keep them ought to be put
into solitary confinement for the rest
of their lives"

THE FATE OF A STORY.

The Author Thought 1t q Good One II No

An authors own valuation Of his
work is something singularly peculiar
at times. A case in point was told me
the other day by an author whose work
receives the best consideration wherever
he chooses to offer it, writes Edward
W. Box.
"I wrote a story" he said, ''some
five years ago which felt was my mas
terpiece. finished it and put it away
for month Then l read it and was de-
lighted. I took it to Mr.. Alden. He
thanked me and said he would read it
at once In day or two he sent it back
with polite word Of regret. read the
story again and was better pleased with
it than ever. took it to Mr.. Glider of
The Century. He promised to give it
attention. In less than week it was
returned with another polite note of re.
gret. This time was angry, so took
it at once to Mr.. Burlingame, the edi-
tor of Scribner's, saying, Here is some-
thing you may want Mr.. Burlingame
in his own polished and dignified way
expressed his obligation at being permit
ted to read what he felt sure must be an
excellent thing. But when he had read
it he evidently did not feel SO sure, for
he sent it back also. Now, those three
reflections ought to have convinced me
that the story was not so good, and l
will say that was disheartened. So l
put it aside. A year later l took it up
and reread it. It seemed to me wonder
fully clever in plot and construction,
and the manner and workmanship SEEM
ed we'll nigh perfect. So sent it to an
other magazine where Twas known only
by reputation. Here it staid several
months before it was in my hands with
another note of polite regret Then l
sent it to another and another magazine
till I had exhausted the whole field.
None Of the editors would have it.
Meantime I had read it myself at least a
dozen times, and each time was more
fully convinced of its excellence. When
there were no editors left to read it, l
gave it to my wife She read it and
seemed embarrassed when I asked her
opinion. When she realized that real
ly wished her to speak, she told me
frankly that she thought the story was
silly and stupid. This was a blow. l
then asked one of the editors, who was
also an intimate friend, about the story.
He said that he had thought when he
read it that had not offered it serious
ly, but was playing some kind of prao-
tical joke on him. Then went home
and burned the manuscript 1t had made
me unhappy for five years, and I was

FREE COINAGE OF
SILVER.

The free and unlimited coinage Of
silver, the product of American mines
at the old ratio of 16 of silver to ] OF
gold, is the only solution of and

factory condition of trade, manufac-
ture and general business of the coun-

divorcing silver and gold in our none
tary system, was crime of untold
magnitude. 1t was the rankest kind
of class legislation in favor of the
wealthy against the producers of
wealth, and hostile to the prosperity
of the United States. 1t was an act

TWO SMART BEARS.
Caught in a Trap, They COntrive
to Get Away.

Not long ago COW dled IN the VI
cinity of the Quinn ranch, near the
head of Goose Greek, south of Wagon
Wheel Gap. 1t soon became appar-
ent to William Quinn, owner Of the
ranch that the carcass Of the COW was
being visited by bear Of very large
dimensions, and, in company with
Dell McClelland, Mr.. Quinn decided
to 'slt up" with the bear to get a
good shot at it by night. This was
done, but owing to darkness the bear
was not killed by shots fred. AS
the next resort large bear trap,
weighing about seventy-fve pounds,
was procured, and set near the dead
''critter," and the trappers went to
bed laughing at the trick they had
played on the bear. The trap was
chained to a pole eighteen feet long
and eight inches through at the large
end.
In the morning an examination of
the premises about the dead COW
showed plainly that the bear and
cub had been there during the night.
There was a large track eighteen
inches wide, and a small track evil
IDENTIFY made by a cub. The trap,
however, was gone, and with it the
eighteen. foot pole, and the disturbed
condition of the ground showed con.
clusively that the bear had been
caught In the trap. The trail, how
ever, away from the scene was only
the trail of two bears-there was
not a mark of dragging either
trap or pole.
Mr.. Quinn took up the trail, which
he followed eight miles without COM
ing upon the bears, trap or pole. At
the camp of Mr.. Tom Carey, seven
miles away, that man told how in the
night he had been awakened by a
sound of something walking, with an
occasional pause and heavy fall on the
ground as if something had been
dropped.
Having no gun, Mr.. Carey sat in
his tent the balance of the night, and
endeavored to keep warm by poking
wood into the sheetiron stove. The
trail was followed mile or so farther
and then lost. In one place the bears
had passed through heavy quaking
aspen thicket and had literally moved
swath through the saplings, show
ing that the trap and pole we're being
taken along. The natural inference
was that the bear was caught In the
trap, had picked up the same, with
the pole, and started for the hills.
The bear is an old offender in these
parts, and Mr.. Quinn hopes to find it
yet.
A man just ID from the head of the
San Juan reports that he passed the
bears on the Pagosa road, beyond
Summitville, Jogging contentedly
along, each carrying one end of the
pole, while the old bear was caught in
the trap by the right front foot
