But where was I? Where was the
 bridge? It had gone! There was moth.
 ing between me and the opposite bank
 but heaving, roaring mass of water
 that threatened certain death to any
 living thing it might draw beneath it's
 rushing surface. Yes, there was one
 thing ahead of me besides the water,
 The torrent had evidently picked the
 bridge up in it's mighty grasp and had ,I tossed its timbers about as child Y might scatter q bunch of jack-straws in the air. One of these--a ponderous lstringer-had been thrown directly across the road at the edge of the water, and on to this I rushed with the speed of an express train. tried to cry out.
 would have jumped if I could have l done so. But II was too numbed with the horror of my position to do either.
 There was one awful jar that forced the
 breath from my body, flash before my
 eyes like that of lightning, and all waG over.
 | When I recovered consciousness the
 blackness of night was about me and
 the dank, heavy soil of the arroya bank l beneath me. The roar and rush of near
 by waters helped to recall the terror of my experience, and began, though still dazed and helpless to wonder by what miracle my life had been preserved. Then the sound of voices and the flash of lanterns attracted my attention, and my cries soon brought to my side seve- ral miners, who, fearing for the safety of the bridge and learning I had not re- turned, had come down to inspect the structure. Incredible as it may seem, the force of my collision with the big stringer, though it had crushed my wheel like an eggshell, had sent my body flying across the flood to the opposite bank of the arroya-a sheer hurl of more than twen- ty feet. Fortunately for me, the course of my flight had been at a slight angle, and I had landed upon the tough branches of the arroya bushes, almost as thick as English box hedge, which grew in profusion along the streams in Montana. Had I fallen into the road- way I should not now be here to tell of it.
 When the waters had subsided, weeks later, found my wheel half q mile be- low the bridge site wedged tightly be- tween two great boulders--twisted, crushed and bent out of all semblance to bicycle.
 As for Brown Pete and my dis charged bookkeeper, they had evidently lost no time in betaking themselves to other parts, and so luckily escaped dose of Montana justice, which, swift and sure. as a rule overtakes evil doers in that country.
 Beyond hard shaking up and the shock of my record breaking ride and l its ending, I had suSRined no serious Injury, but even among the dare-devils | of the camp, there are none who, at any | odds would undertake to duplicate my | ride and my involuntary leap over the arroya, and cant say that I blame c.

post-of1ice, a most honorable man who
 moved about and did great deal of good in quiet way. The first helr
 that came to the factory was of native
 stock, pretty girls from the country
 towns near by, and young farmers who
 found more ready money the year
 around than by tilllng the soil. Then
 came Irish 'emigrants who took their
 places, and later came the French Ga
 nadians The latter were regarded with
 much aversion as they lowered the
 standard of wages and living also.
 One half mile west of the village stood a rubber works which twenty
 years ago was running full blast and
 gave employment to nearly one hun dred men who received good wages,
 though the labor required no great skill to learn it. This mill was started in 1850 by the Hayward Rubber company, of Colchester. for the purpose of grind ing the raw material which after be- ing milled into sheets, was sent to the finishing mills in Colchester, where it was put into rubber boots and shoes. Tn the sos the mills were purchased by the rubber trust, which after running the several factories for a few years, chinery to Woonsocket, R. I. So the little mill located near Bozrahville had to close it's doors. and the help went away to other rubber centers to earn a livelihood. Gloom and silence now per- vades the little community.
 Some notable men were the promo ters of the rubber industry mentioned, them being the late Governor Carew and Blackstone of Norwich, Hayward, the inventor, of and Joseph Banning, of R. I.
 A little west of this village stood a paper mill which was burned eight or nine years ago. This factory gave em- ployment to thirty hands and was ope- rated by the Yantic Paper company a with headquarters in Nor wich. It was never rebuilt and here, too, the help had to leave the homes in which they had spent many years.
 All these factories were located on the Yantlc river and all had reservoirs which supplied the stream when it got ow II the summer months. Needless to 'tate property depreciated to vast ex- ent in these small communities, and many thrifty people who had saved heir earnings and built themselves lomes either could not sell them at all IT, if they did so, disposed of them for song. Recently a house sold in Boz ahville brought eighty dollars. It was story and half structure, in a good | tate of repair, and located In a large | ot used for garden purposes, Many | thers remain which will not bring the | axes that have accumulated upon hem.

 HIS WHEEL. SAVED HIM.

Having completed a special course oe chemistry and mining engineering

 course of practical study and experi-
 ence at the mining camp of an uncle in
 the copper region of Montana and
 within a few days after had bid adieu
 to my chnms at New Haven, was en
 route for the west filled with pleasant
 anticipations of welcome change of
 environment and occupation.
 l Without incident worth recording I
 arrived at the little mining city of L-
 some fifty miles from which were loca- { ted my uncle's mines. I noted as rode along in the big carry-all that had been
 sent to receive me at the railway sta tion that the surrounding country was apparently one great stretch of table, land, until. as we approached the noun tains, there was a sheer dip downward
 of fully three miles, the grade being very steep, but the road hard and
 smooth-a perfect natural highway. At
 the foot of the long incline was an arro-
 ba or gorge, down which tumbled a
 mountain stream-as inviting a bit of
 trout water as one could ask A bridge
 of strong timbers about six feet in
 width, spanned the gorge, and climb

 A practical experience of eight months at the mines convinced me that while
 ''book learning" may be an excellent foundation for the future usefulness of a mining engineer, he still has very

I had made many friends among the employees, and in the discharge of my duties, some enemies, among the latter our German bookkeeper, sullen, ugly tempered chap, upon whom, before my arrival, my uncle had been dependent to a considerable extent, and who watched my rapid rise in favor with anything but good feeling. After hay ing overlooked several offenses, and after due consultation with the general manager, I discharged the man for in- ebriety, and ordered him to turn over his books to his assistant. He obeyed but left the office with 8 muttered threat, which, however, caused me no l saw him about the camp for several days his associates, after his discharge, being a half-breed who answered to the sobriquet of Brown Pete" and several hangers-on and ne -do-wells, with whom he spent his remaining wages freely at the local

Beardsley Park Squirrels to Ob-
 tain Some

Bedrdsley PaTK SqulrrelS-EToft to OD-
 tain Some.
 Besides the usual attractions at Beardsley park. the park commissioners this year intend to introduce an inno- vation by procuring gray squirrels which will be allowed to roam through the trees. Frederick Sailer, president of the board, went out of town recently with the intention of bargaining for a number. but did not succeed in making purchases The price set was consid- cred too high One party who had about fifty to dispose of asked five dol- lars each for them, thinking that as the city wanted them, fancy price could be secured The commissioners are sat isfied to pay fair price for the animals and expect to soon be able to make pur- Chases.
 MT Sailer is enthusiastic over the idea of procuring the squirrels. On former visits to Prospect park in Brooklyn, N. T., he was impressed with the pleasure derived by children and their guardians by playing with the little pets, They soon become tame and add greatly to the attractiveness of the parks It is said that ht this season the red squir- rels destroy the eggs and the young of the grays. Hunters who care to do so the woods al present, and may derive profit as well as pleasure by so doing Bridgeport Pest

AMERICAN TuRQuoIsEs.

| This country is now producing the 1 bulk of the worlds supply of turquoise,
 which is the most important of Ameri-
 can gems commercially, the output be- 1 ing mainly from New Mexico, where
 the deposits have been worked at irreg-
 ular periods for centuries Long before the time of Columbus the New Mexican mines were worked in primitive way 1 by the aborigines, and in these days the 1 same stores of mineral treasure are | yielding stones tip to sixty carats in weight and of quality equal to the finest 1 Persian. Two companies are turning i out more than two hundred thousand
 dollars worth of turquoises annually, and q guarantee is given to replace any specimen that changes color within six months
 Turquoise owes its beautiful blue to the presence of phosphate of copper
 For reasons not well understood, the
 color is not always permanent, and to
 this trouble the Egyptian stones are
 particularly liable. Persian turquoises frequently alter, but the New Mexican comparatively seldom The Persian stones are a softer blue than ours and more opaque; the Egyptian are darker.
 The aborigines of New Mexico took
 out the turquoise by building fires against the rocks, so as to crack them and thus get out the precious substance. The Egyptian turquoses. so called, come in reality from Mount Sinai. The highly valued Persian stones are ob- tained from Nishapur in the most prim- tive manner A wooden wheel opera ted by the feet of two men lying on their backs. brings the broken rock to the surface in bags; the fragments are smashed with hammers: and when turquoise is discovered it Is put aside and sent with the next batch to Meshed to be cut. There IS q market even for imperfect and green specimens, this kind of gem being greatly prized by the Orientals. The best of those found go to the Shah. who owns magnificent collection of turquoises.-Man ing Jeweer.

LOTS OF CAIN RAISED

Guthrie. o. T., Feb. 11.-That the beau
ties of the Philippines have their revers,
side it is shown in a caustic letter writ
ten Of them by Eugene smder of Arapa
hoe. to his father who handed it to the
editor Of the Bee. Here is yohng snid-
er's description Of the Philippines:
1.-THE Philippines are bdnch Of trodble
gathered together on the western horizon
Of civilization
"They are bornded on the west by
smugglers,. on the north by rock and de-
struction, on the north by monsoons and
/ typhoons, and on the south by cannibals
and earthquakes.
"The climate is a combination Of cleo
trical changes especially adapted for rails
ing Cain" The soil is very fertile, pro-
ducing large crops of insurrection and
treachery. The inhabitants are very in
dustrious their chief occupation being
trench building. Their chief amusements
are cock fighting and stealing. Their diet
consists Of boiled rice, fried rice, stewed
rice, and-rice.
THE Filipino marriage ceremony is
very impressive, especially among the
clesses wherein the wife is given the
privilege Of working as much as the hus-
band desires.
THE animal Of burden is the caribou,
and should a hundred mile journey be
undertaken the driver would die Of old
age before he reached his destination.
''The rivers are sntine in thear
courses and their many different currents
run in a manner unknown to the laws
Of gravitaHo.
Manila, the capital and principal city,
is situated on Manila bay, large land
locked body of wter full Of sharks and
Spanish submarine boats
"Cavite. next in Importance, Is noted as
naval station and for its number of
Chinese saloons.
THE principal exports Of these Islands
arc rice, hemp and war bulletins The
principal imports are American soldiers,
arms, ammunition and alcoholic drinks.
"Fever is supervaliant in duzon dis
tr.ot; on numerous occasions the Islands
the islands have been shaken with chills,
Luzon, the largest of the group, resefnb-
les one Of 81 Green's cast off boots Com
municauon has been established between
MOSQUITO for the carriage pigeonEEEE
the several islands by substituting the
MOSQUITO for the carrier pigeon, 1t being
better able to stand the journey.
The Philippines-an appropriate gift to
a deadly enemy.
The natives-friends at the point of a
gun

for tarantulas, scorpions, cenhpedes,

The soil--adapted to raising foul doors

CATHOLICS OF OKLAHOMA
German Catholics should Preach in
lterman Churehes.

Guthrie, 0. r., Feb. 1.-THE Okarche
Times prints the following.
For the benefit of our German Catholic
readers we clip the following from tho
St. Louis Catholic Review:
"The German Catholics Of Oklahoma
recently held q convention at Oklahoma
City, in which they renewed the assur-
ance and promise Of their fidelity to the
Catholic faith and their loyalty to the
Holy Father, but complained bitterly in a
serie sOf strong resolutions against the
policy Of Bishop ATeerschaert. who. thew
assert denied them pastors able TO sneak
their mother tongue, send the few Ger
man priests he has in his diocese into
non-German parishes, and gives the
German congregations Belgian or Irish
pastors who either speak no German at
Oil OF very little. They intend to take
a census Of the German Catholics resi-
dent in the territory and request the
Catholic press TO assist them in their
battle for equal right"
We have not sufficient knowledpe Of
the actual condition Of affairs in Okla
bona to be able to say whether these
complaints are well founded. If they are
the bishop ought to be compelled by
higher authority to do his duty; If they
are not the kickers should be publicly
exposed and suenced.
II the reverend editor Of the Western
Waterman were bishop of Oklahoma.
and as such would practice what he
now breaches i'm his journal. the Germans
would have no reason for dissa distraction
He says Qssue Of December BOD
eve are with the Germans in this
fight. We sternly oppose any interfer-
ence with the parish organizations and
the obtrusion OF a foreign tongue in
their church services. We believe
that where Germans have built church
for their exclusive use, they should De
unmolested in its possession as long as
they can I'll It and support It,"
That IS the correct view to take ana
we are glad we have al last succeeded in
bringing Father Phelan to esDouse tho
cause which we have so often defended
against his own slurs and attacks
Thus according TO the view OF this Eng
fish Catholic paper our German Catholic
friends here in Oklahoma are unfairly
treated by their bishop some claim #
is also detriment to the territory in
KEEPING away thrifty law-abidinE class
OF farmers as the Germans are generally
conceded N he, and wealthy merchants
who have helped everywhere ana who
have helped to build mp the great west.
We wish our German CathoHc friends
success i'm Their strueee, which seems to
Zee endorsed by the English press Of their
own faith.
