BY A CLEAN GUESS.
The Lucky Hit of n Man Who was
Sick and Sadly in Need
of Money.

"Did you ever have a big piece of pure
luck when you really needed it badly?"
said one who is at present high rail
road official. 81 did once, and never
again. 1t happened in Denver in 1882. l
was broke. / had just come out of the
hospital after a long, tussel with pneu-
monia, and 1 was unable to do manual
labor, which was the only thing could
find. One afternoon. when things were
at their very worst, l was sitting in the
old Charplot hotel and overheard two
men talking very secretly about big
strike in some mine. / inferred from
their conversation that it was some
where in the San Juan district, but they
didn't mention the exact location or the
name of the property.
when they went out I noticed tiny
piece of ore lying on one of the chairs,
where it had evidently been dropped
while they were examining some speci-
mems. 1t was brown quartz, literally
full of gold. 1t was ore that made fell
lows heart jump just to look at it, and
while / was turning it between my fin

mind that it must come from the Lady
Alice. They had taken stuff from it
once, but the vein had 'pinched OUT

teller didn,t get much raycation around


Teller didn't get much vaycation around
where the boys was. Howsomever, it
wasn't but few days till we all set
lots of store by him, spite of his nice
clothes, an his white hands, an his
voice, soft an delicate as woman's.
Somehow we couldn't help but love that
little Teller, though / guess we tried
hard enough to hate him, the Lord
forgive u.s."
Uncle Rastus paused and drew his
coat sleeve across his eyes, and his voice
trembled again when he resumed his
narrative.
He was such pretty, young-lookin'
Teller, black-haired an blue-eyed, an
there was somethin' about him-I don't
know what it was, but he could go in
amongst them boys when they was
havin' the highest kind of time, an
cool 'em down till they was like so
many innocent babies. If Teller want
ed head put on him, all he needed to
do WIS to say something agin the
preacher. Everybody liked him 'cept
Bill Larcom. Bill hated him from the
first, an one day he came tearin' into
the saloon an said: THAT id little
white-fngered preachers been stealin'
bosses from the camp up the gulch.
One o. the wimmin spotted him, an SEE
she'll swear to it," But with all his
snortin' Bill couldn't find a single man
to go with him to where the preacher
stayed So he said he'd go alone, an
he did. lie came back pretty soon, and
said the preacher owned to bein' up
to the camp but said he went to see
sick man, an that the woman told
the story because She had a grudge
agin him."
The boys all laughed at Bill fer max
in sech a row, an accussin the preach
er, an of course it made him madden
than ever. He jest tore out . the
house, swearin' at the bail gang, an
the preacher in pcrticeler. We didn't
see nothin' of the rveacher that night
nor the next day, but the woman who
kept the house said he was sick.
"Well, the next morning word came
that Frank Payson's old black Donald,
the finest boss in the state, was stole,
an a woman what used to keep the
dance house over there, said she seen
the preacher sneakin' round Franks
stable bout ten o'clock at night. Still
the boys was all ready to fight fer the
preacher. They agreed though, that
some of 'em would go with Bill to the
house an talk it over. The woman met
em an said the preacher wasn't there.
He'd gone somewhere up the gulch.
Course that was the worst thing that
could happen, an, worse yet, when the
news came, the boys was all drinkin'
hard, tryin' to drown their feelin's over
some hard luck in the mines.
"Well, young man, | can't tell we the
perticelers of the next day; jest can't.
But you know how tits when Teller like
Bill Larcom gets the lead over a crowd
of half drunk miners. They tore up
the gulch an found the preacher at a
house where there was sick man. lie

PROF. suGARMAN's COLD BATHS.
Finds Health, He Says, by Chopping a
Hole in the Ice and Jumping In.

A special dispatch to the New York
Sun from Little Falls says Professor
l.. Sugarman. a Russian by BIRTH. is
attracting attention for the reason that
he takes a daily bath in the icy waters
of the Mohawk river. Every morning
from 200 to 400 peopie gather on the
river bank to see him do it. His favor
ite bathing spot is near the river dam
in the western part of the city. When
the water is not too high he stands IN
der the dam and lets the water flow
over Eim, and at other times he bathes
in the still water of the Mill street race
way.
His usual hour for bathing is between
s and 8 O'Clock in the morning. He
goes to the river bank, and standing
on the snow and ice in his bare feet,
begins to undress Under his clothes
he wears a pair of bathing trunks. His
clothes off, he walks over the snow 5nd
ice into the water. He immerseS him
self at once and after remaining in the
water for a few moments comes cut
and covers himself hastily with oath
robe. Taking towel he dries his hair
thoroughly and then begins to dress
himself He does not shiver when 60
ing to or coming from the water. The
other morning the thermometer regis
tered u degrees below zero, but Sugar
man was at his bathing spot on sched-
ule time. He found that the raceWay
was frozen over solidly with ice, and
that boys We're skating over his favor
ite swimming hole. He secured an axe,
undressed himself, and, with the aid Cf
the bystanders, cut a hole in the ice.
He plunged in among the ice cakes,
and came out smiling. After his baths
he takes a brisk walk for about half
an hour. and then he is ready for the
days business
Professor Sugarman was born at st.
Petersburg, Russia, in 1912. He says be
began the practice Of outdoor winter
bathing in his native country when he
was Is years of age and kept it up until
he came to this country. He gave up
the practice here until he became thor
oughly acclimated. He believes that
the outdoor baths are beneficial to him.
They have a tendency to harden the
flesh and he never has colds. Prior to
taking up the system of outdoor bath
ing he was troubled with catarrh. Since
then his catarrh has left him. He has
not had a cold since he began the bath
ing. The sensation experienced when
going into the water, he says, is not
one of cnldness, but he feels pressing
sensation until he is fully immersed.
On coming out of the water. as soon as
he places the bath robe over him all
feeling of GOODNESS is gone, no matter
how cold the atmosphere. He does not
use a towel after coming out of the
water, with the exception of carefully
drying his hair. He is very plain in
his habits. eats only substantial food
and drinks nothing but hot and cold
water. He never uses tobacco. He
weighs 21S and is the picture of good
health.

Brooklyn Transt made a total gain of 8

There were insistent rumors Of pending

Brooklyn might come into the hands of
the company.
While there were large gains in many
cases and the close was strong. the ad-

moderate. The rise in wheat stimulated
interest in many of the Western railroad

'.The timber of merchantable size and
quality is, for the most part, scattered
over the reserve in small groves or in
dividual trees, in such wise that except
in a few localities it could not be cut
economically These few localities are
specified in the detailed descriptions
which follow. Altogether they are esti-
mated to contain 22,1S0 acres, or about
the equivalent of a township. Thus.
only about three per cent. of the area of
the reserve is covered by merchantable
timber in anything like compact bodies.
These areas are estimated to contain
about rs, 000,0 900 feet B. M. The entire
area of the Teton reserve is approx
mately 1900 square miles. OF this, 900
square miles are without timber, be-
cause of great altitude or the rugged
character of the country $50 square
miles of this being rugged portions of
the Teton range, and the remainder is
comprised in the elevated SUBMITS of
the volcanic plateau en- the eastern
border of the reserve. In the Teton
basin there is an area of about 25
square miles within the reserve. which
is naturally timberless, and in Jackson
Hole there is a similar area of $50
square miles. These two areas proba-
bly, never will produce timber because
of deficient rainfall. The areas of
merchantable timber, which, as stated
above. comprise in all the equivalent of
about one township. contain an esti-
mated amount of 100000 0G0 feet B. NJ of
timber. If the entire area of S75 square
miles We're timbered as heavily as these
few areas, the reserve would contain
about 1000, 900 feet instead of 5,000,-
000 The difference between these two
figures represents the destruction by

A Tyrolese Girl Whom He Offered to
Marry.

Vienna Corr. London Post.
A story is just now going the round
of the journals concerning Bismarck
which l give for what it is worth. We
are told that Bismarck, while still a
raw university student, was staying i'll
the mountain regions of the Tyrol near
Ultenthal, end fell deeply in love with
a beautiful young peasant girl. He Of
fered to make her his wife, and in order
that his marriage should not take her
from her beloved mountains, he prom
ised to give up his own country and
stay in the Tyrol. The parents of the
girl, simple peasant folks, objected,
however, to their child, who had been
brought up a deyout Catholic being
married to a Prussian Junker, who was
Protestant to boot So the romance
which threatened to lose Bismc- ok
for Prussia came to a sudden end, and
the hero of it returned to his alma mater
at Berlin. In a hall at Ultenthal there
is still to be seen a picture of Bismarck
in the uniform of his younger days. The
heroine of the romance died many years
ago as the Weli-to-do widow of an Aus
trian landed proprietor.
