THE ANGEL FLOWER.
1t Came ON Earth by a Miracle, and
Abh0rs Sin.

HI Chinese are a queer people, and the
more you learn about them the queerer
do they seem. For some time the Chi
| nese throughout the city have had on
| sale. an odd sort of lily bulbs. With each
purchase they present the purchaser
with a circular which modestly claims
for the plant a highly romantic and SUI
~pernatural origin The story of the bulbs
is this:
These beautiful flowers can be OBJ
tanned only from China, and there is an
interesting legend concerning them. Many
| years ago a father had two wives and
| each mother left an only SON.. After the
death of the two mothers, the elder son
claimed all the property and was un-
willing to divide with his younger half
brother. Depressed, lonely and penni-
less, after a weary day the younger
brother fell asleep and in his dreams an
angel appeared to him and told him to
claim from his elder brother a muddy
undesirable field which had never been
cultivated. When requesting this portion
the elder brother readily consented, as he
considered the field of no value. The next
day a miracle had been wrought, for the
entire field was abloom with beautiful
white flowers, which filled the air with
A second time the angel appeared in a
dream and told the younger. brother that
hereafter tina field would yield per-
petual flowers had that it would return
far more in value than the entire farm
which the elder brother claimed. The
angel also said that the flowers were m
blematic of purity and virtue. n that
the bulbs would never bloom If contami-
mated with any sinful habits of the
grower. Ever since that time and Just
before the Chinese New Year tina field
has annually yielded, Without propaga-
ton, ar innumerable quantity Of bulbs,
which are exported for sale to all parts
Of the world, the prophecy of the angel
having thus been fulfilled and the sell
tishness of the elder brother forever re-
buked.
1T is a singular fact that these bulbs
can only be grown in China, and in that
special province and field Of which the
legend tells. A direct importation Of
these bulbs are offered for sale at this
store. The flowers will bloom In about
six weeks If the following rules are OBJ
The above is a translation from the
Chinese, and 1t is needless to say that the
Chinese themselves believe every word Of
1t. Americans will look on it simply as
a pretty story, but the Chinese will when
you buy. a bulb. caution you, very likely.
70 Keep 1t free from all odor Of liquor or
tobacco for It is written that this, the
nigel flower sickens and dies in an
atmosphere contaminated by any sinf III

WAREHOUSE BURNED.

At $50 Tuesday morning the
bells rang warningly, the whistles
blew frightfully and the kids, big
and little, yelled dreadfully. The
alarm of fire was given for a des-
tructive blaze was discovered raging
in the large warehouse owned by
Dernham q Kaufman, which was
situated on the Union Pacific track
near the depot. 1t was fully ten
minutes before the fremen arrived
upon the scene, and the fla mes had
gained great Roadway and were
consuming everything combustible.
For few moments it looked as
though the electric light plant
would also be burned and stream
of water was turned on the build
ing, also one on the Union Pacific
depot which was threatened and
ready to catch at any moment.
The fire burned rapidly, and
there was nothing saved from the
warehouse. Several hundred bush
els of wheat and 10000 grain sacks
were bvrned. The loss is fully COW
cred by insurance.
The origin of the fire is not
known, but rumor has it that it
was incendiary. On several differ
ent occasions someone has attempt
ed to blow the building up but
tailed. A night Waterman has been

A LIVELY RACE.

Thursday afternoon Constable
Sims arrested a young boy about
Is years of age on suspicion of hav-
ing stolen jewelry in his possession,
says the Oakesdale Sun. The boy
had tried to sell ring and thimble
to different persons, but when the
constable searched him nothing
was found. Mr.. ST ns deputized
Ike Hickey to watch the young fell
low and take him in if he tried to
get away. Not long after the pris-
oner was transferred to Mr.. Hick-
ey's care, he made a break for lib
erty down the n. P. raih DAD track
with Ike in close pursuit. Both of
them demonstrated that they were
sprinters of no mean order and it
was not until the boy had reached
Hanford's orchard, nearly a mile
away, that he was overtaken by the
deputy constable. He was brought
back to town and after a rigid ex-
animation by Constable Sims he
was discharged.
