Upon the breakfast tables of the
town that morning the early pa
pers had their everyday fold and suf-
fered the usual Indifferent glances:
but with the crisp rattle of the open
ing sheets came startled exclamation
and coffee and steak at many tables
grew cold. Neale and Company had
failed. For Neale himself the readers
did not concern themselves; he had
many irons in the fire and the falling
of one was bagatelle, but "Com-
pany' was a different story. Phil
Graham's all was vested in that title.
and the town loved Phil Moreover.
the town had advised him as to the
unlucky venture, so responsibility
weighted its sympathy.
Something must be done,' said
Maj. Anderson, taking a gulp from
his chilled cup.
But what?" asked pretty Nell.
Then there. was pause, with a family
OF wrinkled brows.
you see," said Miss Benton, who
was the majors ward, there is moth
ing a man is more fastidioUs about
than the way he is helped"
The Andersons all looked at her
and then took demurely to their
breakfasts. They had suddenly re-
called the fact that this subject was
of more Importance to her than to
anyone else except Company" him
self, and they found comfort in the
thought of her income.
True" and the major smiled as he
indorsed her remark, ''and the greater
his need the more pigheaded Phil will
get"

daintily.
''Yes?" The major bent his hand
some gray head IN gracious defer
ence.
II should let him alone"
oh" said Nell, aghast, mot even
sympathize?"
Doesn't sympathy in such a case
carry bit of humiliation? AS if one
were not equal to emergencies"
The major laughed. "Of course,
he said, "a young lady with three
thousand a year in her own right
knows about the way to fight emer.
gencies."
At this point note came in fol
Miss Benton, which she excused her.
self to read. She grew white over it
Tie Andersons after a furtive glance
apiece kept their eyes politely to
their plates and talked as fast as pos.
sible on foreign subjects. All stood
up finally with breaths of relief. Miss
Benton followed the major to his
study and closed the door after her
Il knew his courage" she said, alb
ruPtly, "but 1 forgot the weak side
OF his pride"
"Ah," said the major, gently put
ting her into a chair, 'he releases

and the location and description of
all the working mines and prospects.
Il is believed that the rental or
proceeds from the Nelson placers,
which in such peculiar manner be-
came the property of Baker City, will
run the city and pay for these much
desired improvements, and perhaps
aid in wiping out'the city's indebted
ness already being steadily reduced

ment.

"Wsll,' walking up and down and
frowning, 'as I've said, he's pig

made little courtly sweep of hands
to show the helplessness of the world
before her will.
No" flushing, 'he has gone away"
Yes, he had gone promptly away
A vision of Miss Benton's eyes with
tears among the lashes went along,
but he frowned it all down, rejecting
upon the two or three households of
his acquaintance where the wife held
the purse. A pretty position for a
man of honor and brains and muscle
to call on his wife to pay his butcher!
So he hurried west, well from the
sight of Miss Benton and did book
keeping at $1,000 a year
But a woman's will is not so easily
dismissed. Some three months later
there came a letter from the one
friend of the old town to whom he
had cOnfided his address, and it had
this paragraph: you have heard of
Miss Benton's trouble? 1t is rumored
that she has lost absolutely every
thing, and L judge there can be no
mistake, for she has sold her ponies,
dismissed her maid and is advertis-
ing, poor girl, for position as gov
erneSs."
That day Phil spent studying do
mestic economy and the possibilities
of twelve hundred a year. The next
found him with fortnight's leave of
absence and a seat in an east-bound
train.
Il ought to send you away" said
Miss Benton, with a sigh and~a pout
and furtive glance of alteration,
''but I cannot"
Perhaps" laughed Phil, 'you may
do that later; but" with a look in
finitely satisfactory to Miss Benton,
money is not everything"
Some two years had passed when
the major happened in Chicago and
called on his late ward. The street
NdS nOI u AdS11Ond O1C Ouc, anu the
house, though cozy and artistic, was
small and plain.
"You don't mean to say" gasped
the major, staring from the late Miss
Benton's simple dress to the very
plain furniture of her sitting-room,
you don't mean to say"
Hush" laughing, with a finger on
her lips, 81 have never told him"
The major sat down limp with
astonishment.
You see, we are quite happy

"No," smiling, mot a cent of it."

''Yes," in delighted noG. "Hus-s-sh,

"Superfluous cash." repeated the
major, disereetly low, "upon my

The Smallest Pony on Earth.

The smallest colt in the world is
owned by G. H Hackstead. a black
smith living near Ludlow, Ky. 1t
weighs twenty-fOur pounds and is only
twenty-five inches tall The colt was
foaled on a farm near Fountain Ferry
Park It's owner considered it worth
less aud sent it to Mr.. HaCkstead. At
birth it only weighed about twelve
pounds, although it was perfectly
formed. Since that time it has grown
very slowly, and for the last two
months there has been almost no
change in its height and weight. If it
stops growing now there is no doubt
that it is the smallest horse in the
world. The colt is perfectly healthy
and is we'll formed and strong. Its
dam was a mustang pony of average
size and its sire was a good-sized
horse The cross should have pro
ducedea medium-sized hose. The colt
is good-tempered, although very
frisky It has been taught to follow
its master like dog and is very at
fectionate The freak has attracted
much attention since it has been on
exhibition.

A Good Work Done.

w. H. Webb, who had charge of the
Douglas county exhibit at the State
fair and later at the Walworth county
fair held at Elkhorn, has returned
home much pleased with the promin-
ent place that Douglas county received
at each fair.
At Elkhorn, which is one of the
largest fairs in the state, and is visited
daily while in session by from 20. 900
to $4,000 people, the Douglas county
exhibit was given very prominent
place on the ground and was sur
rounded at all times by farmers who
were eager to see the mammoth gras-
ses and vegetables grown in the
Northern part of the state and to ask
questions concerning the soil, price o.
lands, etc, and those in charge were
busy giving information and handing
out literature. Mr.. Webb's advice
was to come here and look the field
over and select a farm, before pur-
chasing land; as it was actual settlers
we warted, not land spectators, Mr..
Webb states that he expects to see
many farmers from the southern part
of the state locate in this county in
the near future "Now that their at
tention has been called to Douglas"
he says, ats productiveness and its
ers are growing enthusiastic and | be-
lieve they will see the benefits which
they will surely derive from locating
on the lands in Douglas county

Time has demonstrated that the

its form but not its success. This Is
because it tells all the news all the
time and tells it impartially, whether
the news be political or otherwise. 1t
is, in fact, almost a daily at the price
of a weekly and you cannot afford to
be without it.
Republican and Democrat alike can
read the Thrice a week World with
absolute confidence in its truth.
In addition to news, it publishes
first class serial stories and other
features suited to the home and fire
side.
The Thrice week Worlds regular
