JIMMY'S RESCUE.

Captain Mahem was hard man with q
soft spot. That soft spot was his friend
ship for little Jimmy Gregg and dated from
the winter when the child was lost in the
Nevada sagebrush.
According to the point Of view, the cap
tain was the best man or the worst who
ever bosscd n railroad construction camp.
Ask the leading contractors and they
would tell you that he was an Al man,
who could get more work out of his gang
than any foreman on the line
In December the camp contained about
40 men and teams, l woman and 2
children. The inventory is not complete
without includiuga m old rawboncd horse,
n sort OF camp follower, who subsistcd on
the lcayings of the work mules He was
owned by Gregg, the boarding master,
who with his wife ministered beef. bacon,
beans, potatoes, bread and coffee thrice a
day to the 40 hungry men.
Il wonder" said the captain one day as
be was diseipliuing this Isrhyderm for
sneaking into the feed corral why God
Almighty ever made u horse when = mule
Is so much better every way Now, n horse
will break down II he doesn't have the best
of feed, or go lnme just when you want to
rush the work But you can rely on
mules. Hard work and hard fare exactly
suit them. They'll pull y scraper all day
and be fresh enough at night to kick a
driver With = chance % roll oyer . couple
of times when thy quit work, and plenty
OF water TO drink, they will never wear
out never saw a man that ever saw d
mule die
At this time camp was ten miles from
water, upon a dry plain carrying no vcge-
tatiun but sparse sagr1rush and grease
wood. Water We hauled In tank wagons,
and the old horse, not getting all he need
ed In camp, Ind learned to follow the
teams 10 the spring.
One morning, after the gang had break
tasted and gone to work on the grade, and
the tank wagons could be dimly seen
through their own dust on the road to tho
spring, Grogg's little 9-year old son came
out OF the mess tent and crossed over to
the corral, where he often played. Tho old
horse was there, noling through the man
gers, and the child presently climbed upon
its back rs 1t stood rubbing against a wag
on. The horse paid no heed to his little
rider, and soon amhl,d Off up the road aft
or the water wagons The child held on
tightly, at first laughing, then crying, un-
til be had been carried several miles, when
he fen or and wondered away from the
road through the brush
Jimmy was M. mi sod until the men
came In from the grad for dinner Then
there yas hurried and unavailing search
through the camp. After dinner Mahcm
laid Oft ten teams and rent lhe drivers out
to make u general search. BY mtdafter

Against Them.


The regular monthly meeting of the Blaine
Invincible Club took place last night at Its
hail. No SAG Pennsylvania averue. In the
absence of President Carson, Vice President
Gunnel occupied the chair. The principal
business of the meeting was to receive the
reports of the executive and employment
committees. Eighteen Ecw members were
enrolled. w. II. Gray, chairman of the
executive committee, presented the club
with a quantity of letter heads bearing the
face of the immortal Blaine.
Rev r. s. Laws, chairman of the
employment committee, reported the sue

At this stage of the proceedings President
Carson appeared. He was received with
cheers. In addressing the meeting he calied
attention 10 the charge of W. Calvin Chase
that men employed by the street sweeping
contractor were compelled to join the club:
President Carson scored Chase bitterly and
denounced his methods. L pom motlon
committee was appointed to Investigate the
matter and report at once. This was done
and report submitted to the effect that

GERMANS EFFORTS.
How the United States Might Greatly
Increase Its Trade.

Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz. writes
the State Department that Germany is
turning its attention to the oil territory in
Japan, and that an effort is being made
at Toxic to organize syndicate similar TO
the Standard OIL Company or the Russian
trust. for the purpose of increasing pro-
duct!on. 1t is also said that oil has been
found in large quantities in Formosa.
The consul says that Germany is in
creasing its trade In India, and is now
third in point of commerce with that coun-
try. He adds that the United States. with
half the effort of the German agents, ought
to obtain a much larger share than hitherto
Of the markets of Calcutta, Bombay and
Benares.
Mr.. Monaghan discusses the effort Russia
is making to aid its farmers. Every OBJ
stacle in the way of agricultural develop
ment and In the expectation of farm pro-
ducts is to be removed. Agricultural i'm
plements not made in Russia will be made
duty free for five years The consul sug-
gests that American manufacturers of agri-
cultural implements should look into The
matter of supplying this new market.

Last Years Were the Largest In the
Governments History.

Governments HlBtOrys
Tables prepared by the bureau of sta
tistics in connection with the monthly

that domestic exports during the fiscal

value Of these exports was 81 OBJ COL 800.
The next largest was in 1892, when they
amounted to s1,Ol5 I32,011. The increase
ever exports of the preceding year amounts
to s16S, ,S13.
There has been a considerable increase in
the exports of domestic manufactures.
Comparing these with the year 1892 (the
largest previous export year,, when they
were valued at s15S, 510.937, or 1876 per cent
of the whole, the record for the year 1897
shows that they amounted to s2l6,3od .S6l,
or 26.7S per cent of the total exports,
which is an increase over the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1896, OF $41, 1S6,6S3. The
smallest previous percentage was in 1850,
when the percentage of domestic manu-
features exported was y. 40 of the whole.
Domestic manufactures for the month of
June exported were valued al $25.S13.2 04,
an increase of about SIc00,0O0 over the
same mouth of the preceding year, and
the figures for June, 1897. are the largest
for any similar period except the month
of May, 1897, when the value of domestic
exports amounted to SIG, 457, 442, and the
month of March. 1897. when they We're
$25. S74, 1863.
The exports of agricultural products for
the month of June were valued at $685.
9aS, S95, against $31,11S, 060 for the month
of June, 1896 Agricultural exports for
June, 1896, were 57.26 per cent, and for
June, 1897, 5i.26 per cent of all exports.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1896.
the value of agricultural exports amounted
to $500, S19, 297, 6602 per cent of the
whole, as against s6S3. S7S, $50, or G6.27 per
