MeIssoNieR's CUTE GARDENER
How He Planted Fish Euus and Grew
Red Herriuu

Red Herring.
A good story Is being told about a
gardener who was for many years In
the service Of MISSIONER.
This gardener was not only wonder.
fully skilled In the art of cultivating
flowers and vegetables. but he also was
true scientist, and as he was endowed
with Il phenomenal memory lie was
able to give Offhand the botanical name
Of any plant that was shown to him.
Some of his employers friends fire..
quently tried to battle him by handing
him seeds or cuttings of exotic or other
out-of the-way plants. but they never
succeeded.
Now, Meissonier was proud Of him.
but he vowed that he would, once at
least, bewilder him. and one day. while
Emile Angler was dining with him, he
summoned the gardener, and taking
from his pocket small paper package,
In which he had previously placed some
eggs of dried herring. he said to him:
Here are some curious seeds. Can
you tell me what they are?"
"Of course I can. sir" replied the
gardener. and after examining them
for a moment or two he gave them a
most impressive Latin name.
''1f you sow them now" asked the
painter. 'how long will it take for them
to appear above ground?"
"a fortnight" was the reply.
"Well," said Mcissonler. II wish you
would sow them at once. for l am
curious to see what kind of plant 1t Is.
A fortnight later Emile Angler. de-
string to see the end Of this Joke. came
to breakfast at the painters villa. and
as he and his host were ut table. the
gardener presented himself and said:
IF you gentlemen will obllgc me by
stepp.ig into the garden l will show
you the plants that those curious seeds
have produced"
The two friends followed him to the
conservatory. where he pointed out to
them twelve oddlooking objects In a
box filled with freshly watered brown
earth. They stopped to examine them
more closely. and the next moment
they burst into shouts Of laughter. for
the strange objects We're the heads Of
twelve red behring's.

known TO doctors as preventive of
many other diseases. 1t is u notorious
fact that gouty subjects generally live
toa ripo age, and albeit they suifcr
severely at times, thoy generally enjoy
excellcnt general health, the very
causes of the gout keeping their blood
in good condition, and making it uncn-
durable TO many kinds of microbes.
Cases have occurred of whole house
holds except ono member, being
stricken with infectious diseases, and
the lucky exception has been suf-
fcrcr from rheumatism or gout, which
alone have prevented him from con-
tracing tho diseases which have run
through the house. Such sufferers do
not run half the risk Of catching tho
common illnesses that non-suIrerers
run, and large proportion of tho pco
pie who reach ages over four-scOre
years arc people who, for years, have
suffered from gout or rheumatism, to
which fact they undoubtedly owe many
OF the years they have lived over the
allotted span.
rake hall dOZon persons over the
age OF 70 who suffer trcm rheumatism
or gout, and half n dozen others who
suffer from neither, and you will find
that, except for their rheumatism or
gout, they enjoy worry much bcttor
health than tho non-sutfcrcrs and stand
splendid chance of OUTLYING the
latter. Moreover, gout and rheuma-
tlsm greatly enhance sufferers
chances OF retaining his mental facu-
ties until tho end; large percentage
OF centenarians who die with all their
wits about them, and with excellent
memories of the days of their youth,
have suffered for many years from
rheumatism, and been particularly free
from other Diseases.
The loss of leg or an arm is also

Perhaps that is an awkward rh:asc to

the vitality and vigor Of The lost mcn.-

vitality of the remainder.

TO GET RID OF MICROBES.
1t Ia Claimed that Certain Dis
eases Pro1ong Human Life.

Poarson's Wcokly.
1t is remarkable fact-Ono of ma
turo's peculiar compensatian--that
people who have suffered from small
pox generally live longer than people
who have not. Why this should be
the case, therc is only All improved
theory to explain; and the theory is
that the microbes which go to small.
poX, being very powerful and pugna-
clous, swallow up the microbes of many
other diseases which they find in the
systems of persons they attack. Hence,
by contracting smallpox severely, you
stand good chance of eliminating
from your system other diseases which
would seize upon you at some time or
other, and, likewise enough, prove
fatal.
At tho same tlmo, 1t must be adj
mittcd that smallpox is not scheduled
as preventive medicine; and tho
number of persons il either kills,
mains or intlicts with mental incapa-
cities is probably greater than the
number of persons whose lives is pro-
longs.
At the same time 1t is q fact that
the disease, though one OF the most
terrible known to medical science, does
you great deal of good if you are
capable of throwing it off without suf-
fcring aitrr-cifccts of more serious
character than being pittcd with the
queer little marks it almost invariably
leaves behind to distinguish It's past
timo victims.
Numbers of elderly persons, in more
or less feeble health, are kept alive by
coughs, such, for instance, as bron-
chitls. Chronic coughs arc peculiarly
common TO old people, and hundreds
who complain Of the distress caused
them by such affections ale really in
dcbtcd to their coughs for their length
of life. The reason of this is that most
elderly persons suffer with weak heart
and feeble circulatiOns of the blood
and weak hearts become weaker and
weaker merely as result of their
| weakness. n constant cough cOrrccts
this, keeps the heart beating more
strongly than it otherwise would, and
the strong heart beat keeps the blood
circulating more quickly; and the vita
organs arc thus kept in Il state of ac
tivity which could only be maintained
b artificial means, and for a limited
time, but for the troublesome cough.
Moreover, the constant reminder
gwen by the cough deter the sufferer:
from rnnniny lisks OF catching colds
In other words, they have to study
their health or suffer more acutely from
their coughs, and choosing the former
they benefit accordingly.

some cases prove fatal, but they con

that before the birth of Seth only Cain
and Abel had been born to Adam.
Who then could Cain fear would find

protect him? Genesis iv, II l5. Who
was there for Cain TO marry? And
where did the people come from to in

BODIES ALL FOUND IN
UNION NINE

Denver, Nov. 23.-The Denver News
Telluride correspondent telegraphed
last night as follows:
Sixty hours have elapsed since the
breaking out of the disastrous fire at
the Smuggler-union. Recovering the
bodies of the entombed miners has pro
crossed slowly, but to-day at IL o'clock
the body of the last man to be account
ed for. that of John Nevala, was
brought to the surface. All in the mine
at the time Of the fire are now account
ed for, and at noon the search for
bodies was practically abandoned.
There is yet n possibility that others
may be found in slopes not yet reached,
but this is very doubtful, for the day
shift did not have time to reach any
distant slopes before the alarm of fire
was given. IL is unreasonable to sup
pose that any nan would ave climbed
into the slopes after being warned of
the impending danger.
The body of John Nevala, n Fin
lander, vas found at No. 6 mill and sew
enth level, north Slopes. The body was
Immediately removed to Telluride and
placed in the mOrgue to await burial.
He was n single man and had no rela-
tives in this country, so far as known.
Hugh O'Neil, who met his death in
attempting to rescue others, died to-
day, shortly after l o'clock. The body
was removed from the mine TO the
morgue at Telluride, and is the twenty
fourth corpse placed there as n result
of the Smuggler-Union confiagration.
Supper was served tonight at the
Smuggler boarding house. but no meals
will be served tomorrow. The rea-
son for this action is that the funeral
of the twenty-four victims occurs to-
morrow in Telluride, and not only all
miners from the Smuggler-Union will
be in attendance, but those Of the
neighboring mines as well.

CATTLEMAN CONVICTED
OF ILLEGAL FENCING

Cheyenne. Wyo., Nov. 2i.-(Denver
Republican Special.)-The jury in the
case of the United States against a. A.
Spaugh, the Manville, Wyo., cattleman,
who was charged with Illegally fencing
and holding for his own Use n tract of
over 225,OOO acres of government land
in Converse county, last night returned
n verdict for the government. The
penalty is Il fine of from 81 to s. 1000 or
Imprisonment in the county Jail of
from one day to one year, OF both.
Judge Riner Will sentence Spaugh next
Monday.
The defense in the SpauEh case ad-
mitted the construction OF II large part
Of the fence in controversy, but sought
to show that it did not make n com
plcte enclosure and denied hat he had
ever appropriated the lands within the
fence to his W exclusive use.
A number of witnesses were intro
duced who testified that the lands in
waived We're used by II great number Of
people: that about 10000 head of sheep
not belonging To Spaugh We're kept on
the lands and that cattle and horses
in large numbers belonging to other
people were kept there. And the de
Tense showed by witnesses that no one
had ever been prevented from using

the controversy that ever arose was
with relation to the use by others for
their sheep of the private lands belong
ing to Spaugh.
Spaugh was summoned before the
court several months ago, the action be
ing taken as the result of the investi-
cations made hy special agents of the
United States land office. who We're
sent to Wyoming n year : TO look
into the complaints made that certain
cattle and sheep concerns had Illegally
fenced large tracts of government land.
The trial Of the case was commenced
last Tuesday and its progress has been
watched with unusual interest. Both
sides made n strong light. but ii was
admitted by those familiar with the
case that Spaugh would he convicted.
The government will nj once wage n

actively engaged in getting evidence
against u large number Of stockmcn

The trial of the cast was commenced
before Judge Riner in the federal court

Attorney T. p. Burke.
The prosecution rested its case at

of his ranches, has enclosed twenty
four townships, a large portion of
which is government land. Spaugh has

FURTHER DETAILS OF ALLEGED
GREAT ALASKAN CONSPIRAC

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 23.-The Even
ing Times publishes a story which Is
offered as confirmation of a story pub
lished in the San Francisco Call to the
effect that n conspiracy had been
planned for covering the entire North
western Territory for the overthrow of
the Canadian rule and the establish
mcnt of an independent republic. The
scheme has been abandoned because
of the publicity given 1t.
The Times, in its article, lays great
stress on the story obtained from Fred
Clark, formerly a stage manager in
this city, but who has been in the Hu-
kon country for some time, in which
he admits a knowledge of the Order of
the Midnight SUM-" which is supposed
to have been organized for the sole
purpose of the rebellion. 1t is claimed
that the order was originally instituted
in strict secrecy in Dawson in Decem-
Der Of 1900, and from there spread
along the length of the upper Yukon,
with branches as far as Circle City on
one hand, and Skaguay and Atlin in
the other direction.
1t is said that men came to Seattle
In the interests of the uprising and So
licited support in the way of financial
contributions. The Times says that no
arms were bought. The total member
ship of the Order of the Midnight

SUBMARINE BOAT REMAINS
FIFTEEN HOURS UNDER WATER

New York, Nov. 25.-In the presence
of n big crowd, which, despite the
storm. assembled to witness the merg
ing of the submarine boat Fulton. that
craft rose from the bottom of Peconic
Bay, which is at the eastern end of
Long Island, at 1870 o'clock yesterday
morning, after having beer under wa
ter fifteen hours. with all well and
greatly surprised to find there was a
storm raging.
The test of the Fulton's staying was
highly satisfactory, not only to the Off
GERS of the company that built her and
the naval officers present, but to those
who went to the bottom in the boat.
They report that there was not the
slightest discomfort to them during
their more than fifteen hours of sub
mersion below the surface.
Captain Gable of the Holland com
pany, who was in command, said that
the boat could have remained down
for three months If there Were food
enough on board. Although there was
but six feet of water over the top of
the turret, those on board felt nothing
of the storm. Through the night there
was a slight rolling motion to the
craft. but this was ascribed to the reg
ular motion of the water and not To
the disturbance which was rolling the
waves high on shore.
Immediately on coming to the sur
face the Fulton. under her own power.
ran alongside the dock and tied up.
Rear Admiral Lowe and Lieutenant
Arthur Macarthur refused to go into Il
discussion Of the performance of the
a except to say that they would be
