taken to pay her husband a visit, the
plea was granted

the detective saw the glitter of long,
thin knife. Braun brought it down
with fearful force against the left side
Of his wife's neck. One cut severed the
great blood vessels and almost instantly
the woman was dead.

woman's head several times more. Two
other convicts who were in the corridor
came to the detectives assistance, and
the murderer was subdued. Warden
Sage had him removed to the death
house, not however, before another
knife similar to the one he had stabbed
his wife with, was found in his

to be sorry for what he had done
Strict guard has been placed over the
murderer, and he will at once be
charged with the crime.
Two keepers of the prison were sent

An Instructive Illustrated Lecture in
Association Hall.

]. W. Fairbanks gave an illustrated
lecture in Association Hall Saturday
evening upon the mining region of the
Klondike and the possibilities of the
northwest. When Secretary Seward
bought this region of Russia for the
then enormous sum of $1,000, OOO, the pol

folly, but this same region has already
gained $S4,560, 900, and it's vast resources
have not as vet been even uncovered. Mr..
Fairbanks described the journey to the
mouth of the Yukon, to its source
through its 1000 miles of wanderings,
with a minuteness of detail that could
not fail of instructing prospective min
ers.

trated lecture in Association Hall this

An lrtshman,s Patience.

In neat little white painted hous.
up in Maine baby's gold ring hangs
upon the wall, tied with a bit OF ribbon.
The owner, an Irishman, a humorous
scion of his race, when interrogated
aboutit told the following story: While
fishing one day in an adjacent lake he
accidentally dropped the ring out of
his pocket, and, slipping off the edge OF
the boat, it sank down through the
clear water. AS he watched it disap-
pearing large fish darted through the
water, and, opening his mouth, gulped
it down. The Irishman sadly lamented
the loss Of the ring, as it belonged to his
little baby. He resolved to fish that
lake until he found the rascally thief,
and day after day he hauled in the
shiny, struggling members of the finny
tribe and cut them open in search OF
his ring. Weeks went by, and grew
into months, until the cold weather ar
rived, but with fisherman's patience
he continued in his task, even to cut
ting holes in the ice to fish through.
One day after q severe and long-pro-
tracted struggle he hauled in a fine
fish, and some intuitive instinct told
him he had at last caught the thief.
which, on cutting him open, proved to
be the case.-Harper's Round Table.

Two Kinds of Conceit.

Simple conceit, founded on really
great gifts, is often a very pleasant
quality. No more amiable quality
than the conceit, say, of Hans Chris
tian Andersen, can easily be imagined,
though it caused him hundred bitter
trials in his earlier life before his great
gifts were understood and acknowl
edged by the world. So, too, Gold
smiths conceit was very attaching
quality; and in our own day we could
name q poet full of the most amiable
and attractive conceit, in which there
was not anything irritating or even
Indicative of jealous modification.
The truth is that sunny conceit, found
ed on great gifts, is often delightful,
while the .conceit which broods on tie
worlds injustice is not recognizing to
the full these great gifts is coIrod'ng
and repelling. The happy conceit
which takes all the recognition it can
get with gratitude, and supplements
it with sincere pity for those who have
not sufficient insight to recognize the
gifts that have been displayed, is as
charming and radiant quality as we
can find anywhere, while the jfalons
conceit which is always suspicious
of the inadequacy of the worlds nd
miration is one of the most unplens-
ant and displeasing of characteristics.
In other words, the conceit which Is
perfectly joyous, bat, OF course, found
ed in true gifts, attracts. while the less
perfect conceit, which has little dis
trust, on one side or other, Of the solid-
ity of it's own genius, is displeas'ng,
because not serene. The former IL as
cheering as sunshine, the latter as as
paeasing as restlcssness.-London Spec

EQUINE PATHFINDER.
Remarkable Instinct of Some Quadrupeds
as to the Way Homo.

Remarkable Instinct of Some Quadrupeds
- to the Way Homo.
Horses and mules are known by all
who have much experience with them
as famous pathfinders.
A good story of this power in the
horse tribe is told of mule by John T..
Campbell, of Rockland, Ind. In the
early days of prospecting in Oregon a
rarty was in the field, and had covered
a very circuitous course, which they de-
pended on civil engineer to enable
them to retract, should they see any
objects worthy of a revisit. Having de-
cided to return to the home camp by the
must direct route, the engineer, after
calculating ATTITUDES and departures,
pointed out what he believed to be the
correct direction along which they must
proceed to reach the desired point
When night overlook them they found
that they were not at the home camp,
as they expected to be, though the ell
pineer assured them that they were not
far away from the desired point, al
though he was quite unable to say in
which direction it was best to turn.
At this stage of their wanderings the
driver Of the team turned one OF the
mules loose, and at once, much to the
discontinue of the engineer and the
amusement Of the rest of the party, it
set off in direction that brought then:
to the home camp. Now, this mule
had never before been allowed to wall
der In this locality, for fear that it
would stray and, become lost, nor had
it ever before been over the route by
which they had reached the point where
the engineer was at fault. Itwas after
dark; there was no one at the camp to
make any noise that its sharp ears
might detect, and the way was entirely
unknown to it How had it At once

for their Sunday out, or for the whole
CT carnival period. These lovers are by
no means to be had very cheap. Often
two or three maids will club together
and share lover among them if he
comes too expensive for one girl. This
temporary lover has many duties to
perform. OF course, he must be good
looking and well dressed, and an efi-
cient and indefatigable dancer, sit to be
seen with anywhere" he must likewise
possess good conversational powers.
Besides receiving variety of valuable
presents from his "girls," he is found"

districts of Holland, the girls do all the
wooing. g.-Buch fur ALE.
