The Irony of Fate.

Speaking of the queer fukes of luck
in the goldfields of Alaska, a writer in
Ainslee's Magazine says:
"Often after the pile is made acci-
dent, disease or death steps in to pre-
vent it's legitimate enjoyment.
zone man dropped dead when at the
weighing of the first clean up he found
himself a rich man. There was some
thing wrong with his heart. He had
the physical strength to make the fight
against bad food and water, to endure
the back breaking toll Of developing
and working out and all the strain Of
the uncertainty that went before. The
supreme moment Of success was more
than he could stand, and the use Of
the gold passed from him with its ac-
Quirement.
"a certain James Meade lay down
with typhoid fever in an outlying camp
just as he was starting for home with
the accumulations of the year, and he
and his bag of dust entered Dawson
together on a litter. 1t took six men
to bring him in-alternating four to
carry and two to rest-and he paid
each man SIS day. Once in Dawson
Meade seemed to grow better, and
when his sailing day came he walked
to the boat He reached the wharf and
fell dead as he was about to go
aboard"

A Qualified Decision.

"In the early days of C9ur d'Alene,"
said an old miner, 81 was working
with my partners on a claim when we
were suddenly startled by pistol shots
and, looking up, discovered a man ly-
ing PROSTATE on an adjoining claim,
while his assailant was trying to es
cape by Logging it to the best Of his
ability. Without stopping to pick up
the injured man we gave hot chase to
the one trying to escape, whom we
finally overhauled, captured and hailed
before justice Of the peace at Mis-
sion, Ida, the nearby town.
"There, as l remember it, it develop
ed that it was an attempt at claim
jumping and that the man who had
done the shooting was the would be
jumper. The evidence was all against
him, and word came that the man who
had been shot lay all but within the
portals Of death, the physician giving
it as his opinion that he could last only
a few hours longer, and thereupon the
famed justice of the peace rendered his
decision.
"T find you guilty Of murder in the
first degree said he severely as be
turned toward the prisoner at the bal
that is, provided the victim dies,
and SO that decision stands to this
day."

love him because they were enduring
hardship together.
At the first church meeting held aft
er that eventful night and day in Nal
CONS and DOrothy's lives Malcom bold
ly called on his members to rally
around the building of new church.
: He read the two letters, the one from
the superintendent and the other from
the church building society. The men,
bers listened in silence. Malcolm look
ed into their faces quietly. They were
gathered in the little storeroom in the
main street. Next door was a saloon,
and that Sunday, as on many others,
the congregation could hear the chink-
ing Of glasses and the drunken laugh
ter of the men at the bar.
I'VE might as well accept the facts"
said Malcom, and as he talked it is
certain that the Holy Spirit was pres
ent in that little room in wonderful
power, as he always is after a tempta-
ton and an overcoming. I'VE shall

Teaching . Horse Tricks.

You can, with patience, teach your
horse politeness-to bow to an audi
ence, to say mo" with more or less
The animal may be taught to bow by
tapping him on the back with a whip.
He bends his head in trying to avoid
the annoyance. The trainer ceases the
tapping, caresses him, then resumes
1t till he repeats the bow. He is again
caressed and presented with a carrot
or something of which he is particular
ly fond. At last it comes about that
he "bows" upon any movement Of the
whip toward his back.
To teach a horse to say 'No" q pin
Is fastened to the butt of the whip. A
slight scratch is given to the horses
withers, about where the collar would
be. At this he shakes his head and
soon learns to shake it whenever he
sees the butt of the whip coming near
his withers.
The trainer teaches the animal ito
kiss by feeding him with apples from
his mouth, gradually lessening the size
Of the apples till the horse does the
trick without any, or he puts salt, of
which horses are very fond, on his
cheek, and the animal naturally licks
1t off.
He is taught to laugh by gently fore
ing the butt of the whip in at the side
of his mouth, then prying his mouth
open with it. Caresses and carrots fol-
low, till at last the slightest motion Of
the butt toward his mouth makes him
open it. He does not really laugh; he
grins.-Good Words.

fncassantly. Her great beauty, spirit
ualiIed by her suffering, had wonder
full influence. Many a young ranchman
went away from those prayer meetings
vOwing to vote for the amendment.
The saloon men would come to the
doors of their places and eye the
groups Of kneeling mothers and wives
in sullen amazement. They had cause
to fear for their unholy traffic when
the women Of the state were thus on
their knees, calling ON God and heaven
to help the cause of "home and native
land"
The afternoon of that election day
Malcom was suddenly called out to
"The Forks to see Philip Barton. He
had been steadily failing during those
two years, and Mrs. Barton sent for
Kirk in haste, and he went, supposing
it might be for the last time.
1t was after dark before he came
back to Conrad. Philip Barton had
died that afternoon, unconscious at last
of the prayer that Malcom bad offered
by the side Of his heartbroken mother
"God of mercy" cried Malcom as he
entered the street that night, grant
that this days work in our state has
killed the power Of this enemy that has
killed this boy and broken this moth
er's lifev'
The election was over, but no one
could predict the result. AS Malcom
came up the street it was crowded with
men and women. The Christian Tenn
perance union had been at work all
day. It had served a free lunch to all
the voters and now was holding pray
er meeting in front Of Valmer's place.
The crowd filled the wide street and
overflowed the broad sidewalks. Free
whisky had flowed all day. The crowd
ing, and they were now in condition
to quarrel.
Dorothy was kneeling in the center
of the women. Malcom forced his way
up to the edge of the sidewalk in front
Of the saloon. He had never loved his
wife as he loved her now. Her face
was glorified by the Spirits work with
in. He was conscious of an unusual
disturbance behind him, coming from
the saloon. There were shouts and
oaths and a pistol shot. But still he
continued to gaze at Dorothy, who AZ
calmly as II in her own room kneeled
there while the confusion in front OF
the saloon increased. And never agair
in all his life will Malcom Kirk fee
the satanic venom he felt that night II
the rum power which on that eventfu
day faced the prayers and the homes
of the women of Kansas.

NUMBER So.
A Newspaper Wonder.

When you open up your newspaper,
1t may cause you to feel some wonder
If you know that in all probability
yours are the first hands that have
ever touched it's inside pages. The
reason for this is that the paper is
made from wood pulp. The woodman
cuts down a spruce tree. 1t is hauled
to the mill. There machinery strips off
the bark, reduces the wood to pulp and
makes it into paper.
At every turn cranes, derricks,
chains, cogs, rollers, steel teeth and
other mechanical contrivances keep the
materialaout Of human hands. The
immense rolls are wound by machines
loaded into car and wagon by ma
chinery, put into pressroom and on
presses by other machinery and finally
printed and folded without having been
directly touched by any human hand.
This is a mechanical marvel Of to-
day which is no doubt duplicated in
other branches Of industry. 1t is very
striking in the newspaper industry,
which stands in the very front rank Of
mechanical perfection.-St. Louis Post.

are, we can overcome. We can build
our church and grow into a power.
Let us believe in the power of the Spir-
it and go on in his might"
During the weeks and months that
followed MalcOm had great encourage
ment in his plans for building. He
boldly went to. several of the business
men in Conrad-men who were not
church members-and asked them to
help. They did so and in many cases
came to him before he went to them
and volunteered assistance. The spirit
of prayer pervaded the entire church.
Before spring almost enough money
had been raised to build a larger struc-
ture than the one that had been burned.
Before that time, however, the tenn
perance agitation had grown into a
thy never forgot the evening Malcom
came in and with glow in his face
that transformed it exclaimed:
"a telegram just received says the
legislature today by the necessary two
thirds vote passed the resolution to
| submit a prohibitory amendment to the
constitution! | never cheered for the
legislature before, but l propose three
| cheers, three times three, right awayw
Out on the main street that night the
! temperance people built an immense
| bonfire. The band came out and play
ed, and there were speeches and tenn
| perance songs. One Of the best speech
es was by Malcom Kirk. He called at
/ tention during it to the fact that the
battle had only just begun; that there
were nearly two years yet before the
people would be called on to vote on
| the amendment All the time he was
speaking he was conscious that outside
the enthusiastic circle of temperance
and Christian people was the whisky
element, sullen, angry, surprised at the
action of the legislature, venomous,
just beginning to stir itself for the two
years struggle. 1t seemed to MalcOm
that he could even that night prophesy
In some degree the satanic character of
the conflict that made Conrad one of
the fiercest centers of the fight.
But he was right in saying that the
battle had only just begun by the act
of the legislature The weeks and
months that followed witnessed some
wonderful scenes in Conrad. Now the
women of Conrad began to show their
power, as they had already been con-
slant influence for years.
Dorothy suddenly assumed a place
she once would never have dared to
take. The women in all the other
churches, recognizing her ability, came
to her and insisted that she take the
presidency of the Woman's Christian
Temperance union, that had been or
ganized a short time before. She did
, so at first with fear and trembling,
, then with a brave. joyous confidence
that amazed her and her husband, but
the Lord was leading her.

day drew near. Night after night be.

ne Oseyea the Judge.


Over score of years ago Judge Fitz-
gelrld was appointed to the bench of
the district that includes Pima and
CoGhise counties, in Arizona. He found
on coming to Tucson that formality
was almost unknown in the courtroom.
If the days were warm, the attorneys
and attendants dispensed with coats.
This to him appeared particularly dis
respectful. He announced that smok-
Grated and that coats must be worn
under pain of the courts displeasure.
The grand jury was called. Among
the jurors summoned was a brawuy
miner, who appeared in his usual cos
tune, dark blue shirt and overalls.
"What do you mean," thundered the
magistrate, ''by appearing in this court
room in your shirt sleeves? Where is
your coat?'
"At home, judge" mildly returned
the juror.
"Then go and get it! No, not a word
sir~ glaring down upon the man as
he attempted to speak. go home and
get your coat, sir, or I'll commit you
for contemptv'
The miner went silently out. He
didn't return that day nor the next
and the judge, after issuing a bench
warrant for him, swOre in another
juror. About two weeks thereafter thu
original miner, dressed as the court de
manded, again stepped within Judg'
Fitzgerald's range of vision. To th'
irate magistrate he rendered the ex
PLANTATION that his home and coat wer,
both in Harshaw mountains, near th'
| Mexican border, over 100 miles away
and that he had but obeyed the order
of his honor in going home after hi
