HENRY McLEAN'S FUNERAL.

The funeral of Henry Mclean took
place from the Court House on Thurs
day afternoon. Deceased was an old
soldier and in the trying times of the
civil war, proved himself to be among
the bravest of the brave Having no
permanent home in this city, his close
friend, and one who had on many oc-
casions befriended him-John Ken
nedy-arranged to have the ceremonies
take place from the Court House and
it was eminently fitting that they
should. The remains were taken to
the rotunda at 10 A. NJ. and lay in state
until the hour set for the last sad rites.
The casket was draped with the stars
and stripes and about it were Towering
plants, palms and ferns. The exercises
were conducted by Cutler Post, G. A.
r., and consisted in remarks by c. H.
Mueller, which were very appropriate
and impressive, and reading and prayer
by n James, chaplain. There were
quite a number of old friends present
besides the members of Cutler Post.
Pail bearers were as follows: Divine
Sawyer, VIM. Dodge, Theodore Goeres,
Charles Baerwald, Gottlieb Behling and
Z. A Canfield.

kitchen outfit from Mr. Hurd's friends.
Much time and forethought was spent
in the selection of this outfit, and sew

GARDENERS MILL BURNED.

The saw mill belonging to Gardner
Bros, and situated about three miles
west of Flanner, burned to the ground
last Wednesday afternoon, together
with the boarding house, Office and one
of the big barns. The cause, of the fire
is not known, but is supposed to have
caught from spark from the saw dust
fire which was burning ut the time.
Men were at work near the mill when
they saw smoke coming out of it,
they at once ran into the mill but the
fire had too good a start and all efforts
to put out the fire were in vain. A few
tools were saved. The fire soon spread
to the office and then to the boarding
house. Gardner Bros have had very
successful run up to about three weeks
ago when they closed down for repairs
and intended to start up in week or
so. Everything had been cleaned up
especially the mill. Besides the mill,
office and boarding house, about rs, ,000
feet of hemlock logs and about $500
worth of lumber burnt. The lumber
and logs are Il total loss no insurance
being carried on them. The mill board
ing house, barns and Office were partly
insured but we are unable to give the
amount at this time. Gardner Bros.
will no doubt rebuild the mill as they
have plenty of logs to saw of their own

Tombstone Photorranh..

Photographing tombstones is a novel
industry which has been instituted by
a colored man in this city, who was at
one time boy-of-all-work in a photo
graph gallery. He has recently
branched out for himself, and has al
ready established a remuneratiye bust
ness, which promises to open even a
wider field in the future. He visits the
various cemeteries with his cameras.
and when the day is fair he takes pic
lures of many of the imposing monu-
ments. After he has developed his
plates he takes proofs around among
the relatives of the deceased, and usu-
ally finds a ready sale for his pictures.
OF course, he has to take chances, for
he works entirely without orders.
trusting to sentiment for his sales.
Still, he says 1t is very seldom that he
doesn't get an order. . He also has a
habit of haunting the marble works
where tombstones are made, and by
striking while the iron is hot he takes
a picture before even the bereaved rel
atives have seen the stone.APhiladel-

STATISTICS OF HUMAN LIFE.
Value Which should BE Attached to
Every Ones words.

NaIue which Should BE Attached to
Every Ones words.
Statistical scientists will not let us
alone. Everything we do or say is
submitted to the closest analysis; and
the figures emerge full of warning and
reproach, says Golfers Weekly. The
newest tabulation of our doings comes
from the workshop of M. Alfred Arkas,
who is minuteness itself. He has
worked out, first, an approximate cal
culation of the numoer of words the
normal man utters in the course of a
year. Ignorant or cultured, playing on
the miners vocabulary of 200 words, or
on the university professors thesaurus
of many thousands, it appears that we
let fall $4,000 Doc words between Janu-
airy and December. Every year we
shake hands about 1900 times, expend-
ing on the ceremony a force sufficient
to raise a locomotive weighing eighty
tons. The raising of our eyelids is
accomplished "a, SOC, 900 times per year
and represents the consumption of en-
ergy capable of lifting a weight of
ffty-one pounds. Turning to the di-
vision of our time, it is found that a
normal man living seventy years has
spent no less than twenty-four years
nine months and fifteen days asleep
and eleven years and eight months at
work. His recreation has occupied ex-
actly the same length of time as his
work. He has passed five years and
ten months in moving about and the
same space of time in the operation
of feeding. His toilet has occupied two
years and eleven months. Two years
and eleven months, also, passed in doing
nothing or in little things that are not
easily classed. The surprise is the
estimate that a man passes exactly
the same time in thinking as in speak
ing-one yea five months and a half.
Which gives one a new idea of the
value of what ought to be attached to
every mans utterance.

WAMBOLD.

Wambold came out OF the mountains.
He had long curling black locks, a
slender, supple body, and an indedna-
BILE air which can, perhaps, best be
described as patience. No one in town
had ever seen him before. and he did
not say anything about his past. He
appeared, in fact, to be interested only
In the future. and his interest in that
was SO broad and general that 1t was
almost the sole theme of his discourse.
Not only was 1t the subject of his con-
~versRtion, but he harangued about 1t
on the street corners evenings after
the men had come down from the
mines.
What are you waiting for7" he
would cry. standing hatless on the
street with the sunset throwing a red
light about his emotional face. "You

sun to drop down out of the sky and
the stars to shoot from their places?
Does II need all that to show you that
the day OF Judgment viii surely come?
Why, you blind leaders Of the blind,
the miracles are about you on every
hand. and they are within yourselves.
Nothing is SO wonderful as yourselves,
and IL you will read the book of your
W hearts you will find there the as
surances of immortality-nay, you will
discover an Unborn sense of justice
which win warn you that the day of
Judgment must come" Such words
as these he would speak in rather a
low voice of even meditation; then,
with a sudden wild gesture, he would
fairly scream: why, then, do you
daily? Tomorrow exploding dynamite
at you mines may hurl you out of the
world. While you are delaying your
horse may slip and carry yo1 with him
down the precipice. Now is the time

The next morning the sun smiled
with confidential popularity upon the
town, and 1t beheld every woman and
son of woman going to the circus-and
the town was clear of hysteria for the
first time in a month.

White to his wife. But he was wrong.
All day. while the drums beat and
the horns played, and the ringmaster
snapped his whip, and the bareback
riders labored at their nimble task
there were two sessions of the circus
that day-the blinds of Wambold's
cabin remained fast.
After 1t was all over the people went
to their homes penitent. They were
touched by the silent rebuke of those
closed shutters. Some of them knocked
at the door, but there was no answer.
Well have to make up with he

ly. But the morrow brought them a

A strange light began to burn in Wam-
holds eyes, and his cheek bones be-
came more prominent, as fasting and
prayer and exhortation wore him thin,
and his magnetic hands were more
restless than eve in their movements.
In the midst of all this excitement
the posters of a circus we're posted on
the b%illboards. 1t was done over night
between the coming of the passenger
and the going of the freight trains, and
in the morning the preacher was seen
standing before them a long time. 1t
worried the people, Was he going to
be so rigorous as to forbid them in
diligence in their chiefest pleasure?
1t proved to be the case. Never be-
fore had he been SO fierce in his de-
nunciations of anything as he was of
that circus. The town was shaken by
the storm of his disapproval-and 1t
was divided as to its course OF action.

stay away from the circus.

imagined the truth-that Wambold lay
face downward upon the clean linen
of his bed crying aloud to the Lord Of
the hills to give him refuge from the
harassments of the evil one. Nor could
they have guessed that when the
mountains brooded over the sleeping
town that the preacher crept out Of
his house and did not stay his steps
till he stood where the showmen were
driving the stakes for their tents, and
the women were boiling black coffee
over their camp fires. He shifted the
indescribable circus aroma-horses,
leather, sawdust, fodder-as If it were
the sweet south wind breathing upon
a bank of violets. He bent an eager
ear to the jokes of the men, to the long
night plant of the Gagged leopard and
the loud laughter of the women. Then
he stole back again to his darkened
cabin. $3.50 -

She didn't have nerve enough to take
that, and she was rather in despair
for a moment. Then she came upon
a little bundle of tickets bound with

she put the package in her jewel box.
The next morning the clerk at the re-

paid out three dollars and thlrty-two
cents for seven unused return coupons,
and the woman went briskly off to
spend her ill-gotten gains. And when
she told a friend, and the friend sug-
