The Perilous Plight of Soldier in Chi
 neSe Thibet,


 An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man aged to cross the frontier at night, and so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while the officer was journeying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob bers, they would go with him in order to protect him, to which arrangement the traveller was compelled to agree. In few hours they came to a river, which was crossed by rope bridge.
 The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Englishman hanging in midair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent. At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land

The world has always been divided into two c,asses-those who have saved and those who have spent, the thrifty and the extravagant. The builders of all the houses, the mills, the bridges and ships and accomplishments of all other great works which have ren- dered man civilized and happy, has been done by the savers; and those who have wasted their resources have all ways been their slaves. It is the law of nature and Providence that this should be so. Hence Kilroy's New Palestine ad in this and the dailies of Phoenix read iD calls the attention of the thinking man and wnlan (ld and yuung) to the phenomenal opportuni- ties of the present in this city.

 ''The best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of a Panama or Tchuantepcc. The late George R. Marsh said of this that a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones, and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the V hole climate of our island Great Britain) would un- dergo a most notable deterioation.' The sum of $0.C00,000 has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had ST. 100000 spent on it, and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost $16,00o,C0o, and a ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the eX- penditure of $50, ,000,0G0 in canalizing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river The distance is only 90 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river, and one can easily see the startling nature of d union of the great lakes and the father of waters"

A Pathetically Humorous Story Told or

A Periodically Humorous Story Told of
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.
 A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells pathetically humorous story of a friend of his, Jack Negly, a Cumber' land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying diff ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, a dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When l did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-field and came out to the fence,
 'sHello,' I exclaimed. ''Is this your farm?"
 ''Yes, and I jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long,
 You must be doing well?''

But, notwithstanding they are now in tha city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence iof electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when
