The Greatest Of Rivers.

The Amazonis the king Of streams.
From first to last it receives over
l,2OO tributaries, of which more than
100 are large-sized rivers, and these
rise SO far apart and have their floods
and GIBBS at such different seasons
that the Amazon is about mt the same
height the year round. At some
points on its lower course one bank is
invisible from the other; the behold
er seems to be looking on a great
yellow sea of fresh water When
discovered some tribes of Indians on
the lower portion knew nothing ofthc
existence of the opposite shore and
did not believe that it existed, saying
that the great river flowed all around
the world. Its mouth, including
that of Para, is $50 miles in width.
The Amazon is navigable for large
sized ocean steamers for 1000 miles
from the sea, and so vast is the flood
Of water which it pours into the At
Iantic that the ocean is tinged yellow
for 400 miles from the coast of Brazil.

Two Kinds OF Heroism.

No one is irretrievably lost in whom
the sense of honor survives. A Paris
paper recounts the case Of a woman
who had been arrested, convicted of
some offense, and sentenced to impris-
onment. A detective was taking her
to the prefecture from Boulogne-sur-
Seine, by steamer, when at the Con-
corde bridge a well-dressed man threw
himself into the river and was drown
ing before their eyes.
The officer was a brave man and an
excellent swimm T; it cost him strug-
gle to see life lost which he might
save, if he We're free to act.
IF were alone, he exclaimed, l
would save that man.
"Save him, said the woman, i will
wait for you at the pier.
The officer hesitated for an instant,
and then plunged into the water. He
had barely seized the drowning man
when boat struck him violently, and
he lost his grip. He dived again, but
vainly, and at last, quite exhausted,
was pulled into small boat, which
itself narrowly escaped collision with
a steamer
The heroic officer was cheered by
the crowd who had witnessed his bra
very. and the body of the man he had
suivcn to save was recovered later
But his was not the only honorable
conduct shown, for on the pier the wo-
man, true to her word, was waiting
for the detective, and handed him his
coat, in the pocket Of which was the
warrant upon which she had been ar
rested.
One is glad to learn that her hon
oroble conduct will not 90 unapproci-
ated. When it was reported TO the
chief of the department he immediate
ly ordered the prisoner to be released

A Grafton Romance.

About thirtv-two years ago there
lived in Grafton, W. Va, Marion Hess
and his wife, Sarah. At that time it
was not very healthy for a man to live
in this section unless he would Join
one Of the armies, and Mr.. Hess de-
cidcd to fight for the Union. From
that time until few days ago, Sarah
had never heard of her beloved hus-
band During that time Sarah, sup
posing her husband dead, took unto
herself another who was also a Union
soldier. They lived together for few
years, when he died, Sarah applied for
and was granted pension on the death
of husband No .. Later she fled an
application on account Of husband No
l. She had succeeded in proving his
services in the army and also his death,
and was expecting to receive her Sec
ond pension when Marion turned up
alive, well and nearly as gay as when
he left youth of 20.
lie requested his long lost love to
return and live with him, but she con-
Guided that a pension on husband No.
was better than to take chances with
husband No. !, and refused to rejoin
him. He, however,, was persistent in
bis demands and threatened to kill
herif she did not come to him. Sarah
however showed crit, and appeared
before Squire Guard and sworc ont a
warrant for his arrest and placed the
same in the hands Of Constable Daw-
son for execution. The Constable has
been after Hess ever since, but as yet
has not succeeded in capturing his
man.
1t turns out that Hess has also bur
led a wife during his absence from
this section, consequently they have
not been guilty Of bigamy.-Clarks-

An Easy Mark for Bunco Men.

a Morgantown, W. Va, special
says Robert Elliot, a wealthy farmer
of Jefferson township, has proved HIM
self an easy mark for buncoers, who
during the last three years have heee-
ed him out of $4,lO0. The last haul
was made this week for $500 and the
first made in July, 1898. 1t Is be-
lieved that both men who did the
buncoing are members of the same
gang.
The first haul was made by a stran-
ger representing himself rs coal
speculator He claimed he had all
the coal lands in jefferson and Red
stone townships leased, and induced
Elliot to purchase a half interest in
the leases for $4,000. lie accompan-
led Elliot to the bank where the latter
drew out the required amount.
On the way back the stranger
counted out his money and that OF
Elliot, which he put in a tin box with
the leases. He gave the box to Ell
lot to keep over Sunday and drove
of. When the box was opened it was
found to contain nothing but brown
paper.
One day last week another stranger
called at the Elliot house and repre-
sented himself as a detective. He
told Elliot he had located the man
who had robbed him and produced
photos which Elliot identified as the
robber. The alleged detective agreed
to arrest the buncoer, but demanded
$500 cash in advance for the work he
had already done on the case. Elliot
paid the amount demanded, but has
not since heard Of the photo or the
alleged detective

REV. DIR. TALNAGE in his last sun
days sermon, on the subject "Amerl-
ca for God said there was entirely
too much Fourth of Julyish Dragging
about our country, and that the most
tired and plucked bird that ever flew
through the heavens was the Ameri-
can eagle
To such an extent is this a recog-
nized fact, he continued, that in a con-
versation with Mr.. VIM Z. Gladstone,
the latter facetiously said Il hear that
fish in Your American lakes ale so
large that when one Of them is taken
out the lake is percepubly lowered.
In the same connection he tells Of a
toast given by an American, in Paris,
which runs as follows: Here's to the
United STRAIGHTFORWARD on the north
by the aurora borealis, on the south
by the procession of the equinoXes, on
the east by primeval chaos, and on the
west by the day of judgment
The effect OF such grandiloquence,
he says, Is to discredit the real facts,
which are 50 tremendous they need no

med any remembrance of the journey
crossing the pleasant valley and divide.
To ride on a coach now is quite a no.
velty to the old timer who has become
accustomed to riding in more comfort
able carriages. That it is an experience
carries the thought back to the good
old days that we enjoyed before the ad-
vent of the iron horse. Although ! did
not come to Montana until 1869, I feel
like a pioneer for l lived among the
old pioneers and heard their expert
ences told over and over again until 1
could almost imagine that l crossed
the plains instead of coming up the
Missouri. Masonry was early institute
ed in Virginia City and Brother Hedg-
es has written that when he came TO
Montana, early in 1864, there was a
masonic lodge fully organized here.
1t is with feeling of pleasure that l
have heard of the harmonious working
of your chapter of the good fellowship
prevailing among your members: of the
pleasant social gatherings you enjoy, so
l think words of advice are not needed.
Perhaps a few words of encouragement
may not be amiss urging you to renew
ed efforts in the future that you may
still keep the good record you now en-
Joy. There r two things essential
for a good chapter, these are brotherly
love and charity. By cherishing these
principles you will secure that harmo-
ny, so necessary in u work. Be care
full in selecting your officers. In u

order we have no such thing as "going
through the chairs" Always select
spective offices. Good officers do much
toward keeping a good chapter.
