Oi0iAOP 10 r. SoiuiilS
Elder George F. Miles who was
lately called on mission, said he
was DESTROYS of doing all the good
he can, as he joined this church for
the love of the gospel, and my mind
is set to do what / am called to do.
am satisfied this is what we all
should do.
Elder Samuel H. Wells, who has
Just returned from a mission in
Texas, said he considered it mis-
fortune for any young man not to
be called on mission, for it is one
Of the best schools that a young
man can be placed in as it is a spirit

today had fallen in many ways from
what he was in the beginning, for
we find that man lived almost one
thousand years which was caused by
his keeping the commandments of
God, and were SO pure that some of
them walked and talked with God,
and the gospel as restored to the
earth in this our day is to bring
mankind back to what he was in the
beginning, and to teach mankind
the pure principles of the gospel as
they were taught in the beginning
as also in the days of our Savior
and his apostles. Said some young
men who go on missions get dis
outraged when they do not make
converts in a very short time; but
this should not be; for if we do our
duty, we shall be accepted of the
Lord and we shall in no wise lose
our reward. Spoke of the faith of
the ancients, of Noah in the build

Dear Sir

l should like to write you a true
statement of the damage done bv
the Hood and also diagram of nv
lot and buildings, in connection with
the wash that furnished the main
current OF that fearful food which
occurred on the I4th of last month :.
but shall have to be content TO
dictate a few lines that you NAV
LOOK, as it were, through a glass
darkly, upon the situation. NV
residence is on the southeastern
corner of my lot. The upper or
north end of the lot being many feet
higher than the building, was fenced
with heavy rocks, which, when NOV
ed by the flood must, according to
the laws of gravitation, come down
upon the buildings, also wash
above the lot pointed directly to-
wards the buildings only turning
enough to leave the buildings with
in two rods of the bank. In self
acting on the above mentioned stu

the same hand that rolled the waters
of the Red Sea up right and left for
the children of Israel to cross and
then turned them back upon the
armies of the Egyptians, and forty
years later, stopped the flow of the
river Jordan for the children of Is
rael to pass over and possess the
goodly land, was instrumental in
turning the most, fearful portion the
food contrary to the laws of CRAWL
tation, and took rock and timbers
straight across the wash onto the
opposite bank and landed some of
them against the meeting house.
There was one large boulder,
which, according to the laws of ma
ture, would have struck my residence
and demolished it, but it lodged on
the bank just above the meeting
house. While the food was run
ming around the house and the huge
boulders rumbling down the wash
and elsewhere, the house trembled
as though by an earthquake, and it
even caused one of the inmates of
the house to exclaim ooh mother!
the house is going'
We truly owe the preservation of
our lives to the merciful power of

sons in the house. We are thankful
for our Miraculous escape.

49,, JANET s GHOST,
How She Was Saved In the End ny BiG
Nell of the Trouts.


Lady Janet Gordon, by marriage
Lindsay, was condemned for the muir
der of her husband To perpetual i'm.
prisonment on top of the Ravens rock
a stupendous cliff that rises above the
River Ericht. Here, says the legend,
every day, before touching food, "she
had TO spin a thread long enough TO
reach from her prison till il touched
the river" Her life was protracted
till she was over one hundred, but even
when she died the murderess could not
rest and "her ghost was seen TO sit and
spin, and often the keen angler, as he
fished the Ericht below the Ravens
rock, was startled by seeing a shadowy
thread coming slowly down till it
touched the water, when il disappeared
and the scared fisherman knew that
the lady's task was over for the day
Year after year went on AID the lady
who had in her veins a drop of the
Stuart blood-royal, continued To spin
until 1.-The black day of Culloden," wher
the Stuart cause was lost forever ana

their native glen. Among others came
Big Neil of the Trouts, SO called from
being very expert angler.
He chose as his hiding-place a hole
under some large powders on the
bank of the river, little above the
Ravens rock, where he kept himself
and some comrades who were also in
al H. oil Il ..,1 4,
trout. But severe thunderstorm
passed over Upper Strathardle, fol-
lowed by such a deluge of rain that il
brought down the river in one breast
of water. Neil of the Trouts lay in his
den, no doubt thinking it would put the
river in good fishing ply, when the wa
ter poured in. When he got out the
rushing torrent was SO strong that ii
swept him away down the stream.
Just as he gave himself up for lost the
eddy swept him under the Ravens rock
and he saw a thin thread hanging down
from the cliff and, as a drowning man
will clutch a straw, he grasped it and 20
his establishment il held and he found it
strong enough To bear his weight Al. ;
check his onward course and by its help
he slowly drew himself TO the bank. AS
he stepped ashore he heard a wild
scream of JOY overheard and looking up,
he saw the Lady of the Rock standing
on the top of the cliff with her dista q in
her hand, from which hung the thread
that had saved his life. Her task was
done, her punishment over. She had
saved the life of gallant follower of
the StuaTts, her own royal race.
Ii is hardly, we presume, possible that
the penal spinning of the Lady o!
Strathardle should be a faint and far
away echo from the legend celebrated
by Tennyson in The Lady OF Shalott-N

Had to Buy Whisky for Tuscarora INDIAN,

Thomas Ryan, lake sailor, was the

bail by Commissioner Pound, at Lock.
port, y. Y, to answer to the United
States grand jury on the charge of Civ
ing whisky TO Indians. Ryan admitted
the charge, but said that he was com.
PEELED to purchase the liquor at the
risk of his life.
About week ago Ryan met a swar-
thy gentleman, who afterward turned
ont To be chief of the Tuscarora tribe
of Indians, in Buffalo. The Tuscaroran
offered him Job to work on his farm
at good wages. Ryan accepted and was
driven to the Tuscarora reservation by
the chief, who did not reveal his iden-
tity. When he reached the reservation
the sailor was told that his duties
would chiefly consist Of buying whisky
for the tribe. This Ryan refused to do.
The Indians then conducted him TO a
plain surrounded by lonely swamp.
Ryan was stripped naked and the In
dians formed a circle around him.
They then set up terrible whooping
and began TO flourish their tomahawks
about Ryan's head all the time yelling
at the top of their voices and talking in
the Indian dialect One of the braves,
who carried huge knife, caught Ryan
by the hair and flourished the knife IN
a suggestive manner
The circle was closing in on him, and
fearing that he would be scalped Ryan
agreed to go TO the nearest saloon and
purcha Sc whisky. Three of the braves
accompanied him and gave him to I'M
derstand that if he made an effort to
escape or 10 inform anyone of what had
happened ne would be shot. He bought
the liquor and returned to the Indian
reservation with It, His arrest fol-
lowed. Several of the Indians will be
arrested. The Trscaroras belong to
the Six Nations.

Hint for This Country.

An interesting variation in the usual
run of submarine cable work will soon
be shown In the laying of a cable from
the mouth OF the Amazon, |, 400 miles

will place the large and growing trade
If the dim but rich interior in direct
communication with Europe, as well
as with the immed late shipping ports

largely to the development of Brazilian
commerce. To carry land lines over
this vast and little known territory
would simply be impossible, and, as
there'are practically no railroads par
alleling the .river, the steamboat and
the cable are the great means of com
merce and civilization. There is hint
here, however, says the New York
Post, that might we'll be adopted even

were cabled and carried along the beds
