Next mention the shepherds crook
This was Il rod with a curve at the
end, which, when sheep was going
astray, was thrown over its neck; and
in that way it was pulled back. When
the sheep were not going astray, the
shepherd would often use it as sort of
crutch, leaning on it; but when the
sheep were out of the way, the crook
was always busy pulling them back.
All we, like sheep, have gone astray,
and had it not been for the shepherds
crook, we would have fallen long ago
over the precipice.

THE ANGRY WORD.

That morning, when he said good-hy,
And fingered at the door.
nv heart though full Of love for nin,.
Was just a little sore.
The trihing fault of yesterday
Was ranking in me yet:
And so | turned my face aside
could not quite forget.
Though there was sorrow in the tone
For what had veXed me So
gave him but an angry word,
And thus | let him go.
But somehow. as he closed the door.
| felt a tinge of shame;
And as the sunny hours wore on,
A full repentance came.
I decked with flowers our little nest,
And made 1t very fair
The home he had prepared for mo
With such a loving care.
| set a dainty little feast
OF all that he liked best:
AnG watched the gardens Of the skv
Grow roses in the west
That evening strangers brought him home
Who could not come to me
A look upon his wistful face
1t broke my heart to see.
OF what avail were floods OF tears?
Not that remoTseful tide
Could bear to him the parting kiss
The morning had denied
Some griefs there are time touches not.
Except to make more keen.
Ny sorrow walks beside my peace,
With an angry word between.

power and light FOR the mines and mills
of the whole Cripple Creek district about
40 miles distant, was put In motion. Gov

presence OF a large number of capitalists
and mining men. The plant for the gener-
alton of electricity is established here on
account of the great coal beds surround

the Cripple Creek district are already
equipped for the use of electricity in
lights and power and il Is that

at both places. These troops knew moth

ton, however, and appeared to be glad
of the opportunity OF getting home.
Major Miley states that on the door of

from the naval commander at Manila,
informing Sagasta Of his great victory
over Dewey at Manila and Sagasta's

WILL MAKE GOODCITIZENS
GENERAL WHEELER TELLS MKIN-
LEY ABOUT THE CUBANs.
All Friction between the Americans and
Insurgents Will soon
Pass Away.

Washington, Aug. 17.-General Jo-
an hour conference with the president
to-day. The president wanted to talk
over the conditions in Cuba with Cen
eral Wheeler and his was the object
of a t~elegraphic summons that brought
the general here. The president put nu-
merous questions to the hero of the
Santiago campaign and received not on
ly an account of his general experience
In that campaign, but also his views on
various issues incident to the condition
of affairs on the island. one point that
was uppermost was the possibility or a
rupture with the Cuban insurgents.
General Wheeler's statements were very
~reassuring.
Al tho friction he said. between
the Americans n Cubans will soon
pass away and there will be harmony
and the best of feeling between them"
He said there was a class of men in
Cuba who had never been friendly to
the Cubans, but on the contrary had
been favorable to Spain, who likely
would do all they could to keep up this
misunderstanding, though he did not
apprehend any dangerous results.
General Wheeler suggested that the
charges against the Cubans of taking
articles in the field had extenuating cir
cumstances and especially in view of the
starving condition of many Of them.
General Wheeler believed the Cubans.
when given a table and humane gov
eminent, would become law-ablding and
useful citizens.
The president Is solicitous about the
health of Montauk Point camp and
gave explicit instructions verbally to
General Wheeler as to the conduct of
the camp. He wanted everything posi-
BILE and reasonable don for the inter
ests of the men at the camp.

on Bear and Eldorado creeks. The pur-
ser Of the Danube says he estimates
the amount of gold brought down on
the steamer at $500. 900. The drafts. he
thought, would reach $500. 900. A large
number OF passengers had small sack
and wallets ranging from $1,000 TO 20
600.
Passengers from the lower Yukon
say a large number of men are going
up Kyokuk river to Tramway creek
ana other diggings at the head Of that
river. They are taking out gold there
but not in very large quantities.
At Minook all who have properties
are working energetically, looking Tor
ward to good results. Since the hndlng
Of Idaho Bar. some months ago, no
new strikes have been made In that
district.
The steamer Governor Stoneham Is
living on her side on a andbar near
The mouth of the river and cannot be

expense. The steamer Progresso n
Jaurada were at st. Michaels when the
Danube left, preparing TO come down.
The steamer Roanoke, from Seattle,
arrived just as the Danube sailed.

of the rich strike on Pine creek,
in the Lake Tagish district. though
some of them say that previous reports
from there are somewhat exaggerated.
The amounts taken out, they say,
range from colors to 40 cents a pan. n
more enthusiastic ones say that as high
as 81 a pan has been taken out. The
claims can be easily worked and are
