Jay Gould died leaving his sons and
daughters fortune Of $70,O0O,OOO One
daughter married a titled foreigner,
Count Boni de Castellane, Of France,
and there was a grand wedding. But
the titled foreigner was disappoint-
ment. Before the honeymoon was over
he began to furnish sensations for the
yellow newspapers of Paris and New
York. The other daughter took diff
ferent view Of life. She would not be
butterfly, but bee. Following out
her ideal she has made the name of
Helen Gould the sweetest name in
America. Every working girl in New
York idolizes her and there is scarce
an American soldier or sailor who
would not die for her. Which of these
two, think you, chose wisely?

q remember one pup in particular.
He was only six months old Wnen ne
was sent out one day to work on the

brought up to the corrals, we ga" a.
once that a part of the herd was miss

were missing. The pup was also MISS

search. We hunted all that night ana
all Of the next day and did not hnd the
lost sheep until along toward night.
Rut they were all herded In a Httle
draw. about five miles from home, anu
there was the faithful dog standing
guard. The wolves were very plentlfui
in those days and the dog had actually
hidden the sheep from the animals III
the draw. The poor fellow was nearly
famished, as he had been for thirty-slX
hours without food or water. From
that day he became a hero, but was so
badly affected by hunger, exposure and
thirst. subsequent overlooking and pet
ting that he died not long afterward
.This same pups mother was an
especially fine animal. One night the
herier brought in his flocks and hur-
ried to his cabin to cook himself some
supper. for he was more than usually
hungry. But he missed the dog, which
usually followed him to the cabin OF
an evening to have her supper. Inc
herder thought it rather strange, but
made no search for the dog that night.
But next morning he found the gate
open and the faithful dog standing
guard over the focks. This herder, In
his haste the night before, had forgot
ten to close the gate, and the dog, more
faithful than her master, had renamed
at her post all night, though suffering
from hunger and thirst.
"On another occasion this same dos
was left to watch flock of sheep near
the herder's cabin while the herder got
his supper. After he had eaten his
supper he went out to where the sheep
were and told the dog to put the sheep
in the corral This she refused to do,
and, although she had had no supper,
she started off over the prairie as fast
as she could go. The herder put the
sheep in the corral and went to bed.
About midnight he was awakened by
the barking of dog down by the cor
rails. He got up, dressed himself, and
found the dog with a band Of about
fifty sheep, which had strayed off dur
ing the previous day without the herd
er's knowledge, but the poor dog knew
it, and also knew that they ought to
be corraled, and she did it.''-Denver

tional theological seminary in the Unit
ed States. 1t has come to be known as
the "Yale of the West" in matters OF
theology. For forty years young min

Ohio to the Rocky Mountains have
come under the influence Of Prof Fisk.

Of fine old New England family. His
mother belonged to the Proctors OF
Vermont and New Hampshire. He
was a fellow student at Yale in the

year resigned the Presidency Of that
historic institution. He has received
two degrees from Yale University, and
one, that of LII. D., from Beloit Col

eloquent preacher. He had powerful
voice, a fine presence, and all the dig

least Il seems that any one ought to
consider it evident that the nineteenth
century will end after 1900 years have
been completed, or at midnight OF Dec.
81, 1900. This being the case, the new
century will be ushered in at the first
moment of time of Jan. /, 1901. 1t is
curious that such simple problem
should have proved so vexatious, but it
illustrates how easily bubble may pc
made to appear logical. Those who are
convinced that this is the first year or
the twentieth century will doubtless
continue to hold that notion until pub
lie opinion has become SO settled that
to 60 opposite to it will result In rldl-
cule. That will end the debate.

PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH.

Twenty Years Have Shown Remark
able Growth Down in Dixie.
The Industrial progress of the South
during the past twenty years is shown
in the Manufacturers Record, from
which it appears that the low price of
cotton has had the effect of stimulating
the output of other farm products. In
the past ten years the production of
wheat has increased 81 per cent. in
the South, and the number of hogs
raised there has during that period
nearly doubled. Seventy-two varieties
Of field crops are now grown where
there formerly was nothing but cot
ton, and sixty-fiye varieties of vegeta-
bles, fruits and melons are raised in
the South for markets in the North.
While five years ago the cotton mills
in the South consumed but 10000
bales of cotton, their consumption
amounts now to nearly 100000 bales
in the $50 mills, with 4,952,O92 spin
dies and 1O4,446 looms. The number
of mills has increased 2O6, that of spin
dies and looms $40 per cent
The finest blankets made in the coun-
try are now manufactured in North
Carolina, where 1O4 wooden mills are
in operation. The finest grade of wool
can be grown in the South almost as
cheaply as cotton. Two decades ago
the South produced annually but 5000,
600 tons of bituminous coal; that prod
uct has now passed the 100000
mark, and Of the $4,000 square miles
of coal fields in the South only about
LOCO are under development. While
two decades ago less than 100000 tons
of iron were produced, that production
has now grown to 100000 tons ef
very superior article. And the iron in
dustry in the South is as yet in it's in
fancy. There are enormous iron ore
deposits in different parts Of that Sec
ton of the country which have thus
far not been touched at all. This is
but short summary Of the progress
made in the South during the past
twenty years, but it suffices to indicate
the possibilities of that part of the
country and what is in store for it in
the future, since it is no longer limited
to cotton.-Denver Post.

While the republican press OF

howls because the fusionists carried
the state, thus robbing the repub-
licans another opportunity to loot
the state for another two years at
least, the fusion state administra-
ton continues to pay off the state $

urer Rice has published notice
that on or after January 2nd, next.
he will make another payment of
$4,000 of the states debts. This
makes a total payment Of $4,000
of the bonded debt besides the
payment of about $265, 900 of float
ing Indebtedness in the past four
years, reducing the annual interest
payment over $4,000. This is the
