News reaches US OF the death on
Thursday last of Len Lewis, the ol ID
pioneer who, for more than quart
er of a century, lived at Lewis ferry,
which he established in ihe early
history of the state on Snake river
below the Shoshone falls. Lewis
was 70 years of age. A stroke of
paralysis carried him off. He was
in good spirits Thursday morning
and went about his duties at the
ferry as usual. In little while he
came into the house; saying his arm
had been paralyzed. He laid
down and in few minutes he WAS
a corpse.

were personally acquainted with
him. and, when they hear of his
sudden death, the pages of memory
will be turned back to the early
days and many reminiscence OF old

is known as old Alturas county.

| PAHSSo Vi ehO p4dAio, NOuiQ bC
welcome news to your thousands of
readers, we hasten to commence.
CAPTAIN Morley, who owns the town
site and adjacent country, in his
ever generous way, is giving every
other lot to genuine settlers.
We are reliably informed by an
employee of the U. P. system in
high standing, a Jap on the Pagori

there is fine feed now. Mr.. B. kept
in about 100 calves which will be
fed about four weeks more.
The large cotton-w wood ranch lying
just east of town, has been rented
to Jacob Scarborough, who has been
a prominent citizen of old Logan

TOOK JOHNNIE TO THE SHOW.

Poor little Johnnie longed TO go
And see the show:
Like any simple trusting lad
Who viewed the walls in pictures clad,
OF men who lived on horses backs,
Or climbed each others heads in stacks
Or drivelled dressed in stripes and spots
Or tied themselves in double knots,
Or metamorphosed into wheels,
Or swung each other by the heels,
Or. placid, led umblemished lives
Amid fusillade of knives,
Or punched the lion while he roared.
Or with their heads his mouth explored
You would yourself have longed to go
And see the show
Then Johnnie'S father said, Although
loathe. abhor. and hate the show,
feel that little John should 60,
The curious animals to see;
'Twould never do-so little grown
For him to wander round alone;
My little boy shall go with me.
And Johnnie'S mother-prudent dame
And Johnnie'S auntie-felt the same;
And Johnnie's Uncle Lemuel,
His second cousin. Samuel.
His older sister, Mary,
And Susan Ann and Sarah.
His brother and his brother-in-law,
His fathers cautious mother-in-law,
And others, went along with him
To see that nought was wrong with him
Twas not a sin to take, you know,
Poor Johnnie to the show
As any one might be afraid.
Twas very hard with all this aid,
For little John to see the show.
They hustled him, they jostled him,
They pulled him to and fro
When one of them would chance 10 sec
A knot Of friends, then he or she
Would grasp the urchin by the hand
So all the world would understand
That they had simply come, you Know
With Johnnie to the show.
And Johnnie'S heart was breaking,
His heightened arms were aching,
His pulse was wildly throbbing,
His little breath was sobbing,
When with new and different ache
In every separate toe.
He lay at night-in his own charge
4 dreary poor and lonely one,
And murmured, I'm the only one
OF all the family, small or large,
That didn't see the show

He Didn't Know.

Magistrate Peter Hughes Of Phila-
delphia, who loves good joke, tells
of "a recent personal experience with
great glee. In a certain case the other
day big colored woman was witness.
She testified that she had whipped her
little boy very severely, and as she
went on with the story Of the ex-
ceedingly stiff beating she had ad-
ministered, the judges clear brow
grew a little darker, and he inter-
rupted her to ask her if it had been
necessary to chastise the boy so Sc
verely. The witness opened her eyes
widely at the question Gazing IN
tently at the Court, she inquired ::
"Jedge, wus you eber de father Of a
worthless mulatter bOy?" No, no, -
responded Magistrate Hughes, hastily.
Then you don't know muffin bout

boarded for fear of sickness. | know
how it is She'll come down to the
depot shivering in clothes made last
summer, but not thinking about that
only thanking God that I'm back at
last. tell you what it Is, boys, he
continued, there's nothing on earth
like faithful wife !" and some Of the
passengers turned away their heads,
while their lips trembled.
And the train sped on, Newark
was left behind, and then amid clang-
ing bells the train entered the depot
at Jersey City. The stranger was
sitting at the window, silent and rigid.
He was looking for the familiar face,
but the train was too far down the
track to recognize people in the wait
ing crowd, and he grasped his bags
and bundles and was at the door when
the car stopped. The passengers who
had heard his story followed him with
eager eyes. They saw him go stalking
up the platform looking right and left.
Away up at the head Of the train, as
;f nnsbed and shouldered back bv the
well.dressed throng, was little wo-
man, thirty-fve or thereabouts, in a
well-worn black sack, and dress faded
and poor, but neat-dtting and we'll
brushed. She had look almost pain
full in its intensity, filled with both
hope and fear, and the eagerness of
suppressed excitement.
She was looking half bewildered at
the approaching throng Of passengers,
but did not recognize the broad
.houldered man who elbowed his way
toward her. Nor did he see her until
foot away, aud then he Just dropped
portmanteau, valise, bundle and every
thing, and made a rush for her. The
little woman gave utterance TO sup
pressed "Oh r. as she saw him, and
put her thin hand nervOuslY to her
face, and that was all they simply
stood holding each other, while the
passengers went by The gentleman
and his wife who had talked to him
tarried at the ferry entrance until the
couple came up, radiant and happy.
"Well, my friend, you found her,
didn't your' they said, smiling.
"Yes found her, thank Heaven +!
and there's going to be rejoicing
such as she never dreamed Of You
see, I've got something to tell you, my
DEAR" he said pressing her hand.
Something to tell you and they
passed on with the great thrOng, out
of your sight and out Of mine, but into
that respite from tribulation, that sea-
son of Joy, that comes now and then,

THE TURN OF THE WHEEL
The passengers smiled .

The passengers smiled
For the twentieth time the man in
the middle of the car was rearranglng
his luggage. A dozen times before
they had supposed he was preparing
to leave the train, but he stayed on.
"Do you think he is going this
time?" said a lady on the opposite side
of the car to her husband.
Il give it up, he responded. at
looks like it, but he looked like it be-
fore"
And he didn't 60. Stations came
and went, but he remained, only SEEM
ing to get more nervous as we neared
New York.
Il think the man is crazy, said the
lady.
But he didn't look like an insane
person, though his actions were GER
tainly queer.
Sometimes he would drop his head
on his breast in deep thought. Then
he would smile-softly at first, but
the smile would grow wider and broad
er, and finally threaten to become a
burst of laughter but before it broke
out hewould suddenly remember where
he was, and put his hand over his
mouth, or turn and look out of the
window.
Once when he opened his big port
manteau, the lady observed that it
was filled with parcels, and when he
peeped into one of the packages with
a satisfied smile, she discovered piece
Of dress goods of very gay pattern !;
again, she saw dolls legs sticking
out of parcel, and then she conclud-
ed he was a good husband taking a
bag full of presents home to his fami-
w. She knew this must be so when
she saw him take a photograph from
his pocket, and kiss it slyly when he
thought no one was looking.
At last, after examining his watch
a half dozen times, and holding it to
his ear to discover if it had not stop
ped, he turned to the gentleman at the
other side of the car, and inquired the
time. The gentleman told him, and
then he wanted to know if the train
wasn't late. No, it was on time.
Some way thought it was late, y
said the stranger.
You're pretty anxious to get
through, imagine, - returned the gen.
tleman.
Yes; and the trains so slow; it
seems to me it will never get there,
I've been FIVE days on the road. Come
through from San Francisco.
"Do you live there?'
"No, I live in New York, he re-
turned, "but I've been gone two years,
and I'm getting pretty nervous. Some
way it doesn't seem possible I'm back.
Have you a family in New York;
"Well, l should say !" he exclaimed,
rubbing his hands and smiling. There
was a pause for a moment, and then
he took photograph from his pocket
and passed it over for examination.
That's my wife. 1t was taken ten
years ago, and looks kind o Old-fash-
ioned, I guess, but it's all the one I've
got.
