During the heavy thunder storm
of Thursday, the 18th. lightning
was seen to strike among a band OF
horses that stood hubbled together
on what is known as the Sage Brush
ranch, owned by H. F. Dangberg.
A cloud of dust was seen to rise
from the ground such as might be
causec by the explosion of blast.
The frightened steeds fed from the
spot, and upon their depart ure, two
unbranded horses were discovered
laying across each other killed by
the bolt

Worked Both Ways.

A young man purchased 200O fine
cigars and then smoked them up,
and then demanded the insurance,
claiming they had been destroyed by
fire. The case was taken in the court
and decided in favor of the young
man. The insurance company then
had him arrested for setting fire to
his own property, and the same
Judge ordered that he pay fine and
go to Jail for three months.

Mr.. Lane, bought the Buck and

the Delmues, The price is, as

must be a good sum. So you see

when he sees the showings we have
here.
A little show of force occurred
here over some ground the other
day. A Mr.. Lytle, Smith and
Williams, it seems, located the
ground in January, 1896, and the
Barney brothers and others located
itagin this spring, claiming the
former location was not valid and
did some work on it. Subsequent
iy Lytle Il Co. commenced work on
the ground, then the other parties
moved their tools off the ground
and simply made show of force.

A Beautiful Address

Fannie Crosby, the blind Io9tess,
who has written so may inspiring
hymns, addressed the late Mortified,
Mass, meeting as follows:
Dear Friends, 1 am here once more
in the beautiful village of Mortified,
which sleeps so trarquilly among the
mountains. Gods peace hovers over
this place and in this sacred house.
Year by year, as they go by, seems to
bind me more closely to this place.
1t is my home, and the ties of friend
ship grow stronger and stronger. l
thought to day how grand it will be
when We meet in that land where we
need never part. Mr.. and Mrs. Baker
and l do not regret that we cannot
see. We have our mind, u intellect.
We cannot picture every face, and
what is more, we have our faith cen
tered in the Rock of Ages. Do we re-
greet it2 No. When We enter the pear
II gates Gods face will be the first on
which we gsze. O, how small the sor
row of this world as compared with
the joy Of ttat meeting"
Miss Crosby closed with the follow
lowing original poem:
Some day my earthly house will fall,
cannot tell how COT twill be,
Bus tins / kEOI-my all IN all
How now IL heaven a place for me,
And I shall SOS Him face 60 face,
aud tell the sEOry-saved by grace.
Some day the silver cord will break,
And l nc more as now shall sing.
Bur, Q, the joy when / shall wake
Within the palace Of the kingI
And l shall see HIM face 10 face,
And tell the story-saved by grace.
Some day, when fades the golden sun
Beneath the hazy tinted west,
Ny blessed Lord shall say, We'll done. ,
And I shall enter into rest,
And l shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story-saved by grace.
Some day till then I'll watch and wait,
My lamp all trimmed and burning
bright,
And when the Saviour opens the gate
My soul to Him may wing It's flight,
And | shall see Him face to face,
And tell the story-saved by grace"

The Boyless Town.

By Robert Garrison Tongue.
The BoyIess Town.
o-oss old woman of long ago
ASscIsred that she hated noise;
nTha town would be so pleasant, you
7, onIv there we're no boys"
uao sc0Ided and fretted about it till
Her eyes grew heavy as lead,
And then OF a sudden, the town grew
still,
For all the boys had f3d.
And all through the long and dusty
street
There wasn't a boy in view;
The baseball lot where they used to
meet
Wa sight to make one blue.
The grass was growing on every base
And the paths that the runners made;
For there wasn't a soul in all the place
Who knew how the game "a played.
The dogs were sleeping the livelong
day
Why should they bark or Leaps
There Wasn't g whistler call to play,
And so they could only sleep.
The pony neighed from his lonely stall,
And I0nged for saddle and rein;
And even the birds or the garden will
Chirped only a dull refrain.
The cherries rotted and went to waste,
There was no q to climb the trees;
And nobody had a single taste,
Save only the birds and bees.
There wasn't a messenger boy-not
one
To speed as such messengers can;
II people wanted their errRnds done
They sent for a messenger man.
There was little, I ween, of frolic and
noise;
There was less of cheer and mirth;
The sad old town, since it lacked its
boys,
Was the dreariest place On earth.
The poor old woman began to sweep,
Teen woke with a sudden scream;
Dear me2' she cried; II have been
asleep"
And 0, what a horrid dreamI"
