TOO HOT.

Too hot to breathe the whole day long
Too hot for signing or for song;
Too hot to cast the baseball scores,
To quarrel with your creditors;
Too hot to loaf on hills or plains;
Too hot TO travel on the trains;
Too hot for fishing in the stream;
Too hot TO drift, too hot to dream;
Too hot to mark meath sultry skies
Insane thermometers that rise;
And while the lurid moments fly,
Too hot to live-too hot to die

THE RESULT OF A JOKE.
A Tramps Discovery of Ono of Dal1otas
Richest Gold Mines.

A Tramp's Discovery of One of DaIsotas
Richest Gold Mines.
Avery D. Hills, Black Hills oper-
ator, tells how Ragged Top, the new
goldfeld, was located, as follows:
This history Of the Ragged Top find
reads like romance The story they
tell is that wandering hobo strolled up
into the Spearfish region, northwest of
Deadwood, just aimlessly trampins
about the country, with no more knowl-
edge of mining than you have. He final
ly dropped in with some fellows and
asked them where they supposed he
might be able to find some rich diggings.
There was considerable snow on the
ground, and one of the fellows pointed
haphazard over to stretch of the white
landscape and winlled at his companions,
while he said TO the hobo 'Wouldn' t
wonder if you'll find something rich
right there.
"Guess I'll take it, then, said he.
1.-THE snow made it impossible for
him to know anything about what he
had selected, but to carry out the aw-
fully good joke on him the fellows in
the camp explained how he must proceed
to secure legal location. And so they
had him working in the snow to stake
out his claim, and while he was about
it he staked out dozen. Whatever in
spired him to so much industry under
such circumstances nobody knows
"Well, after awhile the SHOW melted
off, and he found himself i'll possession
of great windrow of powders, about
as unlikely Ia prospect for a gold mine
as was ever seen. But in blind sort of
way he went to whaclling at the rocks
and took some of the chunks TO the assay
Office, and the stuff was declared to be
worth 5000 ton. People couldn't be-
lievc it, but other assays demonstrated
that it WIS true, and the aimless hobo
was in fair way TO become a million
aire. News of lis strike spread, and
there was st:;-. pcde for Ragged Top,
and now there are men scattered all
over the region trying to secure loca-
lions of Eincs, and there is town site
boom, and tie railroads are extending
spurs into the country, all the result OF
that joke Oh the hobo,
1.-THE find contradicts theories of eeol-
ogists and mineralogists, but so much
the worse for the theories. This windrow
of gold bearing powders lies right on
top of a deposit Of limestone, and it is
declared to he he only known instance
If such juxtaposition. The rock is some
what refractory, but is of such high
grade that it will pay to transport it
anywhere for chlorination or smelling,
OF any of the processes for treating such
ore. Sioux City Journal.

The Martini Rifles.

M. Martini, the celebrated gunmaker,
who died recently in Switzerland, be-
gan to make rifles 10 years ago. 1t was
not until 1869, however, when a combi-
nation of the Martini breech action with
a Henri barrel was selected from large
number of rifle inventions and submit
ted to the British government, that he
achieved fame and fortune. The whole
of the British army is now provided
with these weapons. The manufacture
of the Martini Henri rifle is now car
ried OH by the British government at a
factory at Enfield, ten miles northeast
of London. About 1000 operatives are
employed at the government factory,
and it is estimated that each Martini
Henri rife costs England about As shil-

those hilltcps WHERE all sorrow and
signing shall DC done away. Oh, that
God would make that world to us a
reality! Faith in tllat world helped old
Dr.. Tying when he stood by the casket of
his dead sen, whose arm had been torn
off in the tlrashing machine, death en-
suing, and Dr.. Tying, with infinite COM
posure, preached the funeral sermon of
his own beloved son. Faith in that
world helped Martin Luther without
one tear to put away in death his favor
ito child. Faith i'll that world helped
the dying womsu to see on the sky the
letter "W," and they asked her what
she supposed that letter "H' on the sky
meant. "Oh," she said, don't you
know? w stands for Welcome. E" Oh,
heaven, swing open thy gates! Oh, heav-
Ell, roll upon us some of the sunshine
anthems! Oh, heaven, flash upon us the
vision of thy luster! An old writer tells
us of a ship coming from India to
France. The crew was made up OF
French sailors who hud been long from
home, and as the ship came along the
coast of France the men skipped the
deck with glce, and they pointed to the
spires of the churches where they once
worshiped and to the hills where they
had played in boyhood. But when the
ship came into port, and these sailors
saw father and mother and wife and
loved ones On the wharf, they sprans
ashore and rushed up the banks into the
city, aud the captain had to get another
crew to bring the ship to her moorinss.
So heaven will after awhile come Sc
fully in sight, we can see its towers, its
mansions, it's hills, and as we go into
port and our loved ones shall call from
that shining shore and speak our names
we evil spring to the beach, leaving this
old ship of world to be managed by
another crew, our rough yoyaging of the
seas ended forever.

immigration.

The stringency of the regulations as
to immigration into the United States
is once more reflected in the return Of
passengers debarled from Atlantic lin.
ers at the port of New York during the
last year, for while few years ago, say
in 1892, 800, 900 were landed, last year
the total was 351, 573, the decrease be-
ing most marked in steerage passengers.
Fortunately many of the old emigrant
steamers have been withdrawn-thus
II "tramps" crossed in 1898, and only
80 in 1896-so that, instead of about
1000 voyages being made by all ships,
only $50 are included in last years re-
turn; thus the average number of pas
sengers per steamer is 412.-London

mine eyes have seen thy salvation. :"
There was man of Keith who was
hurled into prison i'll time Of persecu-
ton, and one day he got off his shackles,
and he came and stood by the prison
door, and when the j;iler was opening
the door with one stroke he struck down
the man who had incarccrated him.
Passing along the streets of London, he
wondered where his family was. He did
not dare to ask, lest he excite suspicion,
but, passing along a little way from the
prison, he saw Keith tank;lrd, Il cup
that belonged to the family from gener
alton to gcneration-he saw it in awin-
dow. His family, hoping that some day
he would get clear, came and lived as
near as they could to the prison house,
and they set that Keith tankard in the
window, hoping lie would see it, and he
cnme along and saw it and knocked at
the door and went in, and the long sep
arated funily were alFtogcther again.
Oh, if you would start for the kingdom
of God this hour, think some of you
would find nearly all your friends and
nearly all your families around the holy
tankard of the holy communicable
theirs, mothers, brothers, sisters-around
that sacred tankard which commence
rates the love of Jesus Christ our Lord.
1t will be great communion day when
your whole family sits around the sacred
tanl1ard. One on earth. One i'll heaven.
Once more L remark that when the
prodigal gets back the inhabitants of
heaven keep fcstal. l am very certain Of
IL. If you have never seen telegraph
chart, you have no idea how many cities
are connected together, and how many
lands. Nearly all the neighborhoods of
the earth seem reticulatcd, and news
flies from city to city and from CONT
nent to continent. But more rapidly go
the tidings from earth to heaven, and
when prodigal returns it is announced
before the throne of God. And if these
souls now present should enter the king
dom there would be some one il the
heavenly kingdom to say: '"Ihat's my
father, " That's my mother, y That's
my son, - "That's the one I fused TO pray
for, - "That's the one for whom I wept
so many tears, and one soul would
say, Hosanna!" and another soul would
say, HallcluiahP'

And heaven is filled with joy.

Nor angels can their joy contain.

at the banquet Of Lucullus sat Cicero
the orator, at the Macedonian festival
sat Philip the conqucror, ut the Gre

the returned pro!igals, more than con-
uuerors. The table is so wide its leaves
reach across seas and lands. Its guests
are the redeemed of earth and the glori-
fed Of heaven. The ring Of Gods for
givcncss on every hand. The robe of a
Saviour's righteousness adroop from ey-
cry shoulder. The wine that glows in
the cups is from the bowls of 10, 900
sacraments. Let all the redeemed of
earth and all the glorified Of heaven rise
and with cleaning chalices drink to the
return of a thousand prodigals. Sing,
sing, sing! "Worthy is the Lamb that
was slain to receive blessing and riches

eclipsed by this masterpiece Of heaven.

of the Sanhedrim, and of Agrippa's
courtroom, and of Mars hill, and Of
Nero's infamy, shaking his chained fist

A NEW PACIFIC RAILROAD STEAL.

The Union Pacific railroad may not
have been conceived in sin, but it was
brought forth in iniquity. From the
turning of the first spadeful of earth
until now almost everything that has
related to it has been swindle and a
scandal.
Not the least of these swlndles, not
the least scandalous chapter of the rail-
roads history, is that which is to be
cOnsummated in November, unless the
president shall interfere to prevent a
blackening of his administration more
blistering in its shamefulness than was
even the Cleveland secret dicker for a
sale of government bonds to a syndicate
of the presidents friends for many
millions less than they were worth.
The World exposes part of the facts
today. 1t will publish the rest here
after.
Thirty-three years ago the govern
ment loaned to the Union Pacific Rail
road company $33,OOO,O 900 in bonds to
aid in its construction. On these bonds
the government has paid interest ever
since. The net debt is now 500, 10000
1t was in the contract that the railroad
company should repay the bonds, prnci
pal and interest. 1t has not in fact re-
paid even the interest.
The robbers who controlled the com
pany pocketed the bonds and loaded
down the lines with obligations that
