A Dawson City miner lay dying on
the ice;
Il g didn't have q woman nurse he
didn't have the price
And his comrade knelt beside him as
the sun sank to repose,
And listened 10 his dying words and
Watched him as he froze.

Here's story that has the mer-
its of truth. A young woman of
this city, who is very popular in
social life, was asked why she did
not marry. Her answer will fur
nish young men who are forming
habits something to think about.
This was her reply: 81 have con-
siderable money of my own; have
parrot that swears. a brother that
smokes and drinks. SO you see /
am not very badly in need of a
husband. Gallipolis journal.

There were more sailors persisted
in the Maine explosion than we're
lost in any actual engagement in
the history of American warfare.
The bloodiest battle in American
sea navals was that in Hampton
Roads on March 9Th. 1862. In
the engagement with the Merrimac
the frigate Congress lost 80 men
and the sloop Cumberland, 40.
The 18th of this month is the
anniversary of Odd Fellowship in

Sensible Heir.

a pretty little story is told Of a
young clerk in a dry goods shop who
has recently come into possession Of
large fortune through the favor Of
an old gentleman distantly related to
him.
The young fellow listened with
amazement to the news impaired to
him by his employer and the old gen.
tleman's executor one afternoon.
II suppose l must not expect your
services as clerk any longer said the
dry goods merchant with a smile. II
shall be sorry to lose you"
"Oh, shall stay my month out, Of
course, sir, said the boy promptly
II shouldn' wait to break my word
just because I've had some money left
me-
The two older men exchanged
glances. The money referred to was
nearly 100000.
"Well," said the lawyer, stroking
his mouth to conceal his express
sion, "I should like an hour Of your
time between 10 and 4 tomorrow, my
young friend, as it will be necessary
for you to read and sign some papers. y
Eyes, sir, said the clerk; II al
ways take my lunch at a quarter be-
fore -; I'll take that hour for you in
stead tomorrow. If I eat a good
breakfast, can, get along all right till
6 o'clock.
The two men again exchanged
glances, but neither said word to
spoil the boys Inconsistencies that
he was taking his good fortune in an
unusual way.
"Well,' said the lawyer, when the
door had closed on the modest heir to
thousands, call can say is, if that
boy ever uses his money to anybodys
disadvantage, [ miss my guess" And
the year that has elapsed since then
has gone to prove the truth of his
words.-Touths COMPANION.

The Foods We Eat.

Nature supplies US with two COM
plete foods. milk and eggs, which con-
tain in proper proportions all the ne
cessary elements for the sustenance OF
our bodies. AS these are the only
complete foods, it is necessary in their
absence to have mixed foods, and it is
in the mixing that mistakes occur, be-
cause the fat forming, muscle form
ing, and other parts are taken in wrong
proportions, some III excess and others
the reverse. Left to his own taste
primitive man invariably selects the
best food. This instinct, however, is
defective at the present day. For
children, food rich in bone forming
substances is necessary. Among mus

should not be taken with meat, either,
because it renders the meat tough and

fowl and bacon arc very useful and

Three Lightning Stories.

A party Of commercial men lounged
in the easy chairs in the roturda OF
the Brown Palace Hotel last evening.
"As I was going to remark" said
the cologne man, ~ was travelling in
Texas few years ago, and spent
day or two at place where gang OF
men were building a new railroad.
There were at least two hundred of
them. On this particular day a
thunder storm came up and bolt Of
lightning struck almost in the center
Of the men. A dozen or more Of them
were stunned by the blow and knocked
down. One man, who was standing
very near where the bolt struck, had
his clothes burned a little. He was
all rightin few minutes, and went
about his work. About quitting time
he put his hand in his pocket to look
at his watch, and, much to his sur
prise. found his pocket empty and the
botton torn out. He went back to
where he fell wheA the lightning
struck aud found rough chunk of
silver all that remained Of his watch.
The ieat from the lightning had cvl-
dcntl melted it, and it burned its
way hrough the pocket and fell to
the gound.'
