Hanged by His Friends.

At Ballarat a ruined gold miner once
committed suicide in dramatic man
ner During the time of the gold rush
a certain deserted claim was for years
held sacred, and the tools strewn about
the windlass were left to rust away
untouched. A party Of varsity men,
old schoolfellows and Of gentle birth.
had sunk their shaft there and worked
without success until their money was
spent. One evening one Of them at
work at the bottom Of the shaft shout
ed, Haul up. boys, the time is come
at last" They hauled up. and when
it came to the top they found their
comrades lifeless body hanging from
the chain. He had detached the bucket
tied a moose about his neck. fastened
the moose to the chain, and was hang
ed by his dearest friends. The party
had been much liked and respected by
the other miners, who would readily
have subscribed 1000 ounces of gold
dust to give them fresh start, but
ere the dawn Of the next day the whole
party had disappeared, leaving their
claim in the same state as it lay at
the time Of the tragedy.

People will be happiest and willing to
spend the most money in the dry-goods store
where they get good things cheapest.
People will be happiest and most willing

GAMBLING FOR BIBLES.
A Curious Medieval Custom Kept Up
In the Ancient Town of st. Ives.

A Curious Medieval Custom Kept Up
In the Ancient Town of st. Ives.
On Tuesday, in accordance with the
annual custom, there occurred at the
ancient town of st. Ives, in the county
of Huntingdon, ceremony which, II
not absolutely unique, is as curious a
relic OF ancient times as may be found
in march Of many days, says the St.
James Budget. On first thought 1t
seems that the sight Of six little boys
and six little girls dicing in a parish
church to win prize of bible must
be unique, both in the past and in
the present. 1t is certainly unique
enough at present, but for the salts
faction Of historical accuracy 1t must
be said that, connected with the church
Of St. Lawrence, at Reading, there ex-
listed at one time a dicing Ceremony
for the encouragement of good maid
servants. But the rattle Of the dice
has SO long ceased at Reading tnat
st. Ives can claim to stand alone in the
present. The queer old custom start
ed in this way: AS far back as the
year 1876 a bequest Of ESQ, invested In
land, was made by an eccentric DR..
Robert Wild, of Oundle, Northampton
shire, for the purpose OF distributing
Six bibles yearly among twelve chill
dren. 1t was stipulated that six boys
and six girls should cast dice for BIZ
bles during divine service every Whit
sun Tuesday morning. When the Gus
tom was first carried out in 1893 the
dice was ratified on the altar. This was
done for many years, but about half
century ago the incongruity OF the
thing was too much for the reigning
vicar, and during his time and ever
since the throwing has been done on
an ordinary table placed In the center
aisle.
Briefly, this Ia how the ceremony Is
performed nowadays: At about nine
o'clock in the morning the vicar or his
curate appears with the church war
dens in the center aisle. Some ordi-
nary little table Is procured from
neighboring cottage: than IN file SIX
nice little boys and six nice little girls.
who take up positions near the table.
The signal Is given, and three boys be-
gin competing with three boys and
then half the girls compete with the
other half in like manner. Each COM
petitor throws the dice three times and
the church wardens keep the counts.
The unsuccessful six then go on trying
until they win, and although one might
become very old boy" or girl be-
fore that happened, fortune is never
known to have frowned on @ny OF tho
dicers for longer than fix -ars. The
successful six, who are Presented. &C
cording to the price stipulated with I
shilling bibles. strongly bound in leath
er, are expected to attend divine ser
vice in the evening, when the vicar, of
course, improves the occasion. Near
the church is situated a patch OF land
still known as bible orchard" The
Church Of All Saints. in which the GER
emory tanes place, Is an interesting
structure and contains a great quantity
OF Norman work, the original building
having been erected by the abbots of
Ramsey, who also constructed the an
cient bridge which still crosses the
sluggish bosom Of the Ouse.

THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving day was very gem
orally observed by our citizens, though
it was not an ideal dav for the Young
folks, who had been looking forward to
the enjoyment Of a pleasant days skat-
ing upon the bay, and, as conse-
quence, the average small boys and
girls were at outs with tie weather
man. Services were held in many of
the churches.
That the people of the United States
had reason to be thankful on Thursday
is beyond question. The country has
been blessed in many WAYS. Crops
have been bountiful, prices have been
good, and the husl)andman has been
The prosperity Of the farmers being the
first necessity to the revival of trade,
and that having been assured, as a ma
tural consequence every industry, the
whole country, is sharing the benefits,
and all the indications give hope OF a
bright future Thus have we reason 10
be thankful from the greatest to the
humbest in the land.
We have reason also 10 I've thank full
that peace has been preserved be-
tween this country and Spain, and that
the freedom OF Cuba is very likely to
be brought about without the military
interference of our government.
But while the nation has much to be
thankful fol during the past year. there
have been many things to regret. Re
lance on and respect for the courts of
justice has not been shown to that ex-
tent in some quarters We had hoped.
Judge Lynch has murdered people IN
the name Of justice, and brought blush
TO the cheeks of all lovers of law and
order and the fair fame Of the country.
This is to be regretted, as it weakens
the faith of the civilized world in the
sovereignty Of our courts Of justice The
people must uphold the courts and the
courts must fcaressly do their duty if
thy would put an end to this disgraceful
state Of affairs. The supremacy of the
law must be made manifest, and we
trust that the record of the coming year
will justify us in expressing the conyic-
ton that the DAYS of lawlessness have
passed. and that the reign of Justice,
mercy, peace and plenty hath in very
truth begun
