Chas. Neeson has been up from his
camp this week. He thinks fire can be
kept from getting out if everyone is care

down quite a number OF trees, which
have fallen into the river, partly block

The Darby and His Three Wishes.

Tho following anecdote we'll illus
trates the spirit Of contentment preva-
lent with tho negro in the south before
the war:
Jack was once asked by his young
master to mako three wishes. He was
told to take plenty Of time and think

Of boots.
Jack" said his master, "when you

in this world, can't you think Of some
thing better? Try again. Be careful. !"
"Well, Marse Joe, I always want to
have q plenty Of fat meat"
"Now, Jack, you have only one more
wish. Can't you think of something bet
ter than q pair Of boots and fat meat?"
After thinking awhile he gave it up,

boots and plenty Of fat meat, 1 doan'
want nuthin mo-"

Because they come from meteors,
bodies that fall in this way are called
meteorites, and for very many years
past all tho mcteorites which have been
seen to fall, or could be found, have
been carefully kept, so that they may
DO studied. We know, too, that they
have fallen in earlier times as we'll, be-
cause the histories Of nearly all ancient
peoples contain accounts Of such occur
rences, and Of the homage paid to the
"sky stones" by those who thought
them gifts from the gods, or miraculous
objects. 1t is probable that the SO called
goddess Diana who was worshiped by
the people Of Ephesus was q meteoric
stone.
A mass Of iron which proved to DO q
meteoritc was found in Texas q few
years ago at tho crossing Of a number
Of trails leading in different directions.
1t was learned that it had been set up by
tho Indians as fetch, or object Of
worship, and whoever passed by was ex-
pected to leave upon it beads, arrow
heads, tobacco or other articles as offer
ings, since it Yves regarded as having
como from tho Great Spirit Another,
which fell in India some years ago, was
kept decked with flowers was daily
anointed and frequently worshiped
with great ceremony. There is preserved
to this day in tho parish church Of En-
sisheim, Alsace, Germany, stone
weighing over 200 pounds which fell
in the town Nov. 16, 1902 The king,
being near at the time, had tho stone
carried to the castle, and after breaking
off two pieces, one for himself and the
other for the Duke Sigismund, ordered
the remainder to be kept in the church
as a miraculous object, and it still
hangs there. suspended by q chain from
the vault Of the choir. @. Far

For yOur PrOtectiOn.-Catarrh" Curt

For your Protection. Catarrh "Cures" or
TONES for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
Iodide Of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if olong taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Gold in the head causes excessive flow Of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. The remedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's
Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for
these troubles and contains no mercury
nor any injurious drug. Price, 80 cents.

For farming purposes the land is hard

are not necessary. Men with some means

from Chehalis Tribune OIoouiamD

II. S. Philbrick has received word from
MIR. Heermans that the plans to secure
equal freight rates from the Hoquiam
branch OF the N. p. X. X. has been un-
successful owing to the condition of the
affairs OF the railroad company. but that
he expects to have the arrangements
complete as soon as possible after the
present difficulty OF the N. p. are set
tied. This will necessarily cause some
delay in the construction of the Houuiam
branch and will render it's completion
this year very doubtful. it is to be hoped.
however, that arrangements can he made
which will assure us the railroad next
spring without doubt.

From Hoquiam Washingtonlan:

&C. Murphy, one of the best known
men on Grays Harbor, was married Tues
day night, Mrs. l.. Stapleton, proprietor
of the Palace hotel being the other con-
tracing party.
One OF Hoquiam's bicyclists had an
experience the past week that he will
long remember. While on the Grays
harbor road he ran over skunk, and
now he sleeps in the garnet and hangs
his clothes on the line at night.
Some OF the big Republican papers are
making wonderful mistake in discuss
ing the campaign issue. This is espe-
cially true OF the financial question:
This is no time to bulldoze voters. Nine
tenths OF the free silver advocates are
honest in their beliefs. They all know
that something must be wrong, and the
free silver fallacy OF offering moro money
strikes them as being remedy.
