ing in chastity. Miss Abbott at once
arose in the audience and, after chaHeng-
ing the truth of the monstrous assertion
and SANDER walked out of the house.
1t is, however not with her life SO much
as with her death | am trying to deal. one
night in the city of Denver, COL located at
the foot and ia plain view of the Rocky
mountains, she was billed TO appear in
Faust. In the same city a most at
tractve and beautiful 1S-year-old girl be-
longing to one of the wealthiest families,
lay in the last stages Of that fell enemy
of the human race-consumpOon. Some
weeks before the arrival of the company
she said to those around her: "Oh, / hope
the sun will shine and the weather will he
warm and genial SO 1 can hear Miss Alb
bolt sing once more. / think l could
then pass away peacefully and without
one single regret" But there came with
the then queen Of the lyric stage north
ern hurricane-with the very air charged
with icicles, which penetrated the lungs.
Some one told Miss Abbott of the sriev-
GUS disappointment of the dying girl She
went 10 the opera house and never sang
more sweetly, and as soon as it was over
and the audience dismissed, called her
carriage and directed it to drive to the
beautiful home of the young lady. OF
course she was at once admitted to her
room, and told her she had come to
crafty her wish.
The scene which followed was worthy
of the finest brush ever welded by the
grand old masters. There lay the dying
earth angel with palid lips, hectic cheeks
and lustrous eyes, with the light of inn
mortal beauty shining upon her face.
Standing beside her in one of her richest
robes Ohe one she had worn that nighO,
sparkling with pearls, rubies and dia-
monds, stood the almost divine mistress
of earthly melody.
The first piece rendered was 1.-THE Old
Folks at Home" and then followed II
Know That My Redeemer Liveth." The
finale of this weird scene was Rock Of
Ages Cleft for Me, Let Me Hide Myself
in Thee" And then Miss Abbott sent
over the fran form and kissed her an
eternal farewell Soon after the spirit
passed into the wild mountains nearby
set sail for that haven from which the
first homeward- bound bark is yet to be
seen-the stainless soul waited to the
stainless heavens by the sweetest music
ever heard on earth-into the melodies of
Paradise birds.
Miss Abbott returned to her room at
the hotel and retired. Some time during
the night she awoke with a dreadful pain
in the left lung. It rapidly grew worse.
A physician was summoned, then another
| and another, who applied ever remedy
they could command-aH to no purpose.
1t was typhoid pneumonia in its worst
form. The black camel was kneehng at
her door. Angels of the heavenly choir
had that night listened to her voice IN the
sickroom and sent for her to come home
to them.
In three days that voice which had 50

Take Heart. ny Brother"

A writer in the Mining and Scien-
tifc Press, writing of the different
formations in which gold and silver
are found, uses this logical argument
in the course of his article, which is
worthy. but of too great length for re-
production in whole. He says:
Since, then, gold is found in pay
ing quantities in such variety OF
rocks, of 30 many different geologi-
cal ages, and is associated with such
a variety Of minerals, it may be con-
sidered unwise to pass any rock by
without attention as unworthy OF
notice. Within the personal know
ledge Of the writer gold and silver
occur in the United States in almos,
every kind Of rock known to the
science, with the exception of field.
spar-basalt and rocks of that extreme
ly basic type and obsidians or vitro-
pheres and rocks of the extremely
acid type Undoubtedly quartz is the
mineral most commonly associated
with gold, but gold also occurs with
calcium carbonate, feldspsr. garnet,
in aggregates Of mica scales, in horn.
blende. in coal, and in slases, in
granite, sandstone. limestone, diorite,
andesite, rhyolite, and. in fact, in
every variety of rock. Some dykes
are gold-bearing without showing any
considerable alteration or siliciica-
tion. II would seem, then. that the
prospector should test every rock
formation, whether familiar or not.

ABOUT ADVERTISING.

The paper with its home readers
has infinitely more value and influence
than paper having a street publica-
tion and bought only on the news
stands said a prominent business
man in New Orleans the other day.
Another error he went on. "Ad-
vertisements without prices are not
as effective usually as when prices
are mentioned; that is, assuming that
the price advertised is really bar
gain or a low figure on the article.
Advertisers who claim that certain
goods can beat the world. or that
they can be sold for less than cost, or
any other series of statements that
will admit Of a reason or argument in
support of them, would better include
the argument or the reason than
make the statement badly"
IF there is one disease more than
another that is deadening to the sue
cess Of an advertisement, except that
of single insertion. commend me to
the smothered to death advertisement;
that is, the advertisement that should
have six inches, crowded into space
of two inches, or an advertisement
that should be of a half page, crowd
ed into u lO-inch three column space.
There may be in the mind Of the ad-
vertiser what he considers good ex-
cuse. because he talks about what it
cost to buy the space he ought to
take. not that the cost of buying in
adequate space to advertise properly
makes sure investment that he may
secure proper results. As long rs
human nature is constituted Is is is,
very little danger Of an advertiser
buying more space than he ought to
take

Senatar Wolcott was rather busy

It is an indication that the man who

brilliant il an in the senate. the most
captivating orator and one Of the
mos. formidable debaters. He is 80
years old and looks only 30. and there
is not man in all Colorado who can
fill his shoes. He has been in the

she decently could. Since then she
has been unhappy whenever he has
been out of her sight and has nagged
the life out of him when he's been
with her. Every time he looked at
another woman she was annoyed.
Every time he spoke to one she had a
pang Of Jealousy, and whenever she
heard that he had been seen walking
on the street or driving, or playing
golf or showing any attention to any
of her lady friends she would have a
fit of Mysteries. Senator Wolcott is
the most lovable fellow in the world,
but at the same time one of the most
difficult to get along with. Some
times he would let his wife lead him
around by the nose, and then he
would try to be the master. He is
hot tempered, restless and reckless.
and when she pulled the strings too
tight or nagged him a little more
than usual he would get mad and tear
the roof off the house. When he is
mad be is absolutely uncomfortable,
and nobody could ever do anything
with him but his brother Henry. Mrs.
Wolcott provoked him once too often
and he bolted, as he claims, for good.
BE swears he will never make up with
her, but think he will cool after a
few days.

the case; that is, no particular woman,

reason. The sympathy Of those who
know them, both men and women, is
generally for the senator.
