Two Widows and q Sailed Mine,
A good story is told about how two
prospectors had sailed O mine in the
Galena district in order to rob a cou-
pie Of rich widows, which resulted in
the aforesaid widows becoming much
weather..
The p~rospectors had spent their last
cent in digging a,hole In the ground to
the extent of 60 feet without striking
anything but yellow clay. But n Of
them knew of two rich widows who
were just spelling to have their money
sunk in a mine. Accordingly they
spent two nights In sailing their mine.
They hadn't sufficient money to buy
some paying dirt, but they stole this
from q neighboring mine and hauled q
lot Of it over to dump into their mine.
When several tons Of this paying dirt"
had accumulated in the bottom of their
nine, the widows were sent for, and
while one was talking about the in
crcasing value of the district the other
was dumping out oil kinds Of lead and
zinc ore before their astonished eyes.
The widows bought q half interest in
that hole in the ground for $500. The
next day there was no more ore in the
shaft, and the fellows declared they
would dig no longer. Then the widows
bought the other half interest at a total
cost Of $4,000, and the men hiked out
for Missouri, laughing in their sleeves.
But the women, blindly believing that
there must be more ore, continued
with tho digging and at n depth Of ten
additional feet struck the richest vein
Of the whole belt. realizing $4,000 in
less than one years time.-Kansas City
Journal.

Gladstone,a Levity.

While Mr.. Gladstone interested his
audiences immensely by his endless
flow of animated remarks and brilliant
historical criticisms, he failed altogeth-
er to convey to them the sense of great
ness. Every nj left his society pleas.
cd, amused, perhaps delighted. But l
cannot imagine anybody quitting it i'm
pressed with reverence. There was in
deed a levity sometimes observable
about him which was very a%ntagonis-
tic to reverence.
DR.. Martineau himself told me how
disappointed he was when, meeting
him after his great return to power,
he said to him, "What IN opportunity
you have for the great work before
you-the consolidation Of the empire!s
Mr.. Gladstone shrugged his shoulders
and said: ooh, I don't know about that.
The clerks in the colonial Office have
got too much to do already."-Contem-

A Hint to Letter Writers

The practice Of writing private let
tiers from the first to the third page of
n letter sheet and then going back to
the. second page is q matter of taste,
but it will not do to follow that course
Of procedure in writing legal docu-
mcnts.
The New York courts have disallow-
cd the provisions Of q will written in
this way. The testator wrote the will
Oil three sides Of a folded paper, COM
mencing on the first page and continu-
ing on the third page, at the top of
which was written second page" and
completing and signing the instrument
on q page marked "third page" which,
in fact, was the second page Of the
sheet.
The court held that the will was not
signed at the physical end, Us required
by the statute. The law does not con-
template going backward in order to
get forward, and the will was refused
probate. The New York court of ap-
peals sustained the decision throwing
out this form Of will.-Boston Herald.

Parrots Natural Gxmnast..

The curious gymnastic feats which
parrots sometimes perform in their
cages have been ascribed to the desire
Of the birds to vary the monotony Of
their life in captivity. That was the
opinion Of Mrs. Mandsley, the wife of
the Central American explorer, until
she lived in the forest region near
Copan, where she saw the parrots in a
state Of perfect freedom INDUCING in
all the feats practiced by their Gagged
