A PROSPECT0R'S LUCK.
He Discovers a Golden Bowler
on the Columbia River.
A Lone Rock of 10000 Tons Proves
Rich in Gold and Copper.

Last Monday Martin Nelly, Of Spo-
kane, Wash, was returning to Rose
land, B. c., after an unsuccessful pros
pecting trip into the Salmon river dis
trict. He reached the Columbia river
at a point about six miles north Of Trail
Landing, B. c., at noon on that day,
and selecting a spot on the bank of the
stream at the foot of Lookout mountain
he sat down to eat his dinner AS he
did so he noticed a huge bowlder half
buried in the sand in a dry portion of
the river not far from where he sat
When he was through with his repast
he shouldered his pick and sauntered
over toward the huge boTled. He ex-
amined it at first in a casual way, and
then his experienced eye told him that
it was promising-lool1ing quartz rock.
He struck his pick into it several times
and dislodged a piece of the decOmposed
rock. Great was his surprise when
upon picking up the fragment he saw
traces OF gold and copper.
He walked around the bowlder and
knocked off piece after piece, and as
he did so his excitement increased with
each succeeding disclosure. In speak
ing of the circumstance to a St. Louis
Globe-DemOcrat correspondent, he said:
ct was some time before fully re
allied what a fortune I had discovered,
but when it dawned upon me that at
last was a rich man am afraid made
such demonstrations as would justify
anyone who might have seen me in
believing that had lost my senses.
For several years I have been grub
staked' in prospecting these noun tains
without success. and many is the time
have gone hungry for the want of the
price to get something to eat, and can
you blame me for going nearly crazy
when I realized that was no longer
poor?"
When Nelly had demonstrated to his
satisfaction that the huge mountain Of
rock before him was full of rich metal
he proceeded to locate his discovery by

Must Conouer IL They Want Shelter.

The German soldier, says the London
News, carries his own house on his back
that is to say, his share of shelter
tent. The stout pieces OF waterproof
sheeting are joined together so as to
form three sides of a square, and the
men are saved from the worst in wind
and rain. The idea of the shelter tent
in sections is no new one. The French
had it many years ago in their tente
d'abri. 1t has many advantages. 1t re-
duces the baggage of the army, and it
enables the soldier to 60 into lodgings at
once on reaching the scene OF the
bivouac.
Troops often suffer miserable discom-
fort in waiting for hours for their heavy
tents. The Germans have no faith in
these cumbrous contrivances. They have
often sent whole armies into the field
without any sort of shelter. Their the
DRY is that if the men win battle they
will find all they want in the towns and
villages, and that if they lose it they
will have no time to pitch tents. The
shelter tent seems compromise be-
tween these views.

a distinguished divine. And what may
be the cause of the thousands of suicides
which have occurred during the past

pleasant, too, to think on" There

and when Hutton was married IL but
added third desirable member to the
company. The marriage itself shows on
what terms of happy nonsense they
lived. Mr.. Hutton says:
He and Mr. Telford and spent to-
gether at the Westmoreland and in
Burners rooms the last evening Of my
single life. He had heard that luck
would be insured if the groom, on the
occasion of his marriage, would wear
something old, something new, some
thing borrowed and something blue.
He urged, therefore, my appearance
next day in pair of socks procured es-
pecially by him for me. One was abso-
lutely unworn, the other had seen serv-
ice and was darned. but they were both
blue. And must borrow them.
Mr.. Telford, / remember, lent me
necktie for the same purpose, and both
of those dear boys were married, when
their time came, in something blue that
was borrowed from me.
When Bunner was married, we sent
his wife travelling clock as a wedding
gift, to which attached card bearing
these lines:
For old times sake
Will you and III. G. b.
At this time take
The time from mine and mop
Time Is, time was.
Let time be old or new,
The times for US

To write the heartfelt thanks feel due.

TRY 1T AND SEE.

Whatever may be said about the pub
locations OF Rev. Irl II. Hicks by those
who do not fully understand the facts,
there is no denying the truth that his
paper and almanac have come to stay.
His splendid journal, Word and Works,
is now entering its tenth year, largely,
increased in circulation and in every
way improved, until it deserves the
national reputation it has attained
His 1897 almanac is now ready and is
by far the finest and most beautiful he
has yet issued. 1t contains l0S pages,
including cover artistically printed in
colors, and is filled from back to back
with just what is wanted in every shop,
Office and home in America. One fea-
ture of the almanac for 1897 is "a series
of ~ original, beautifully engraved
star maps, with explanatory chapters,
which could not be bought for less than
five dollars in any work on astronomy.
AS Mr.. Hicks has so correctly and
faithfully warned the public OF coming
droughts, floods, cold waves, billiards,
tornadoes and cyclones, in the years
passed, aside from the other varied
and splendid features of his paper and
almanac, these considerations alone
should prompt every family to sub
scribe at once for 1897. The almanac
is only 25cts. a copy. Word and
Works is one dollar year, and a copy
of the fine almanac goes as a premium
with every yearly subscription. Write
to Word and Works Publishing Co.,

One of the Rarest Rocks.

Among the books Of a comparatively
recent date, if the seventeenth century
can be described as such, is, as the Ell
zevir collector well knows, the famous
''Patissier Francois, small duodecimo
printed by Louys and Daniel Elzevir at
Amsterdam in 1866. A faulty and poor
reimpression of work of little value
issued in Paris two years previously,
this book has become the most sought
after of all he Elzevir works, just be-
cause it is wrongly thought to be the
scarcest. 1t has fetched prices reaching
in France as high as 1900 francs The
reason for the supposed rarity is of
course that, instead of being placed on
its first appearance on the shelves of the
curious or the studious, the little vol.
ume was thumbed to pieces by the
greasy hands of cooks and kitchen maids
