\ DowsOn CITY Idyl.

y Dawson City mining man lay dying
on the Ice
de dun have woman nurse he did
not have the price;
But a comrade kneeled beside HIM. as
the sun sank in repOse,
To listen TO his dying words and watch
HIM while he frOze.
The dying man prOpped up his head
above four rods of STOW,
Ana said, | never saw it thaw at ninety
eight below:
Ser-d this little pinhead nugget that
swiped from Jason Dils,
To my home. you know. at Deadwood.
AT Deadwood in the hills
Tell my friends and tell my ell mics if
you ever reach the east
That this Dawson City region is no
place for man or beast
That the lands too elevated and the
Wild too awful cold
And the hills ~ South Dakota yield as
Soou d duc vi gOlC
Tell my sweetheart not to worry with a
sorrow too intense
For IN going to warmer and a far
more CHEEKY hence
Oh. the air Is growing thicker and those
breezes give me chils
Gee wish | was in Deadwood. in Dead
wood In the hills
Tell the fellows In tho home land to
remain aud have clnch
That the price of patent porkchops here
Is eighty cents an inch
Thai speak as one who's been here
scratching round to find the gold
And at ten per cent of discount could
not buy up "a cold
Now SO :ong he laitnly whispered have
tcld you what To do
And he closed his weary eyelids and
troze solid p. d. q.
Ills friends procured an organ bCx
and c. u. d "a the bills
AND sent the miner home that night 10
Deadwood III the hills.

An f.ditO.'s Prayer.

George Nearpass, editor of th- Culver
City Herald went to church the other
Sunday ana he was called on To lead IN
prayer. and here is what he said:
Almighty aud kind Father VINO doth
from thy throne look upon the govern
ment of men and delinquent subscrit-
ers, we most humbly beseech Thee to
draw near unto them and whisper a few
things into their ears that the statues
forbid us to utter. Thou knowest our
wants, but he subscribers do NOS, and
seldom stop To inquire. Let 1t be known
10 them That there are large pal cies on
the homestead of our pants and that we
hunger and he asketh us not to sup
with him. Thou knOwest, l.oru. that our
paper and ink cost money, but the
subscribers knowest ii not, and careth
darn sight less. Thou knowest We are
cold and the subscriber bringeuh not the
wood he promised and we are shivering
and shaking while he roasteth his shins
b efore the red-hot stove of his mother
in law. Tell hlm all these things. Lord,
and if he falleth ard bringeht not the
succor Danish him to the lower regions
TO DIV, II with calamity hOwers, and
Thine shall be the praise throughout
newspapeIdom Amen"

4 small Blaze.

DIR. How one of the best physicians in
the city was called to the country this
morning in haste. He left good fire
in his office stove in the Corbin block
About j o'clock this morning Eldridge
Thompson called at the doctors and
opening the door he found the room full
of smoke. 1t was plain to be seen that
the office was on fire. The furniture
hastily removed and the fire extinguish
cd and but for the timely appearance Of
Mr.. Thompson no doubt a cOntlagra-
tiOn would have been recorded. Dr. How
is happy that it was no worse. A spark
from the stove ignlted the carpet and
while the office furniture was handled q
little rough no other damage was done.
The Independent man helped to put
out the tlames and We are glad tn state
that the doctors loss was covered with
insurance.

Chicaso's Fsvorite Passenger Station.
Reasonable success seems to have
followed the efforts OF the management
of the Nickel Plate road to make the
line popular as passenger line for trsv-
el East and " est. 1t is regarded as a
fayorite by many in making the journey
TO and from Chicago. Great satlsfac-
tIon will be felt by patrons OF that line
to learn that arrangements are made
effective sunday March 9TH for all pas
seDger trains of the Nickel Plate road
to arrive at and depart from the Van
Buren, street station in Chicago With
the many advantages afforded by this
great MON Depot located in the heart
Of the business portion of Chicago, and
the continued advantage offered by
lower rates than over other lines with
three express traits daily, with through
sleeping cars to New York and Boston
and the advantage OF superb meals
served in the dining ears and eating
houses operated by the road, when all
considered should show increased travel
over the Nickel Plate road.

oIile Plain TaIL

Some peope prefer sort of lofty
scorn for the rules of etiquette. They
say taat such rules are made for per
sons of fashion and leisure. The rules
of politeness are never at variance with
the principle OF morality Whatever is
impollte is immoral. We have no right
to offend people by our manners or con
versatlOn, nor should we be influenced
by the gossip regarding people we meet.
The greatest and best men have been
assailed with calumny. The purest and
noblest do not always escape it. We
can not investigate as rule: we must
disregard ISLANDERS.
In all cases give every one the benefit
OF doubt, apply charatible construc-
ton, hope for the best and consider
every one innocent until he is conclu-
siveiy proven guilty
Some sort of common laws are as
essential to the body social as to the
body polite. Why does man take off
does she bow in return? Because it is
etiquette to do so. There are no peo-
pie so rude as not to be governed by
some sort OF social laws. The ancient
origin of the word etiquette is a little
label affixed to a bundle to show what
its contents are and so 1t has become a
kind of mark Designating the refine
ment and good breeding of men and
women. DO not allow jealousy to so
envelope you that you forget to be pO-
lite, for in so doing you lose your great
est charm. The rules of politeness are
founded on good sense; the fundamen-
tai principles are thOughttulness and
consideration for the wishes, tastes and
feelings of Others. Most of them have
withstood the test of years and have
been found acceptable, SO why try to
alter them now "D."
