Tale with n Moral.

There was once a Woman who had
Never Learned how to Swim, although
she Went in Bathing every day in the
Summer. She had a Friend who had
Acquired this Art with Some Trouble,
and was very Proud of her Proficiency
in il.
ut is Absurd" said this Friend, ITO
Live near the Water and not Swim. II
makes you very Attractive to Good
Swimmers If you can Go Out with tn EN-,
and they do Not Fee that you are a
Drag on their Pleasures. What would
you Do in Case you Fell off the Pier ?
Now, Watch mel"
With these words she Owed off in 10
the Water and Swan about by Her
self.
at is Good Thing to have Won.
an Swim so Well" said one OF the Men
near by; NOW. if any of the Children
fail into the Water, she can Rescue
them"
just then the Woman who Could Not
help Herself uttered Scream and Fell
into the Sea. Instantly Five Men
leaped in to Rescue Her, and Spent the
Rest of the Day Resuscitating her and
lnquiring How she Was. leaving the
Swimmer to Dive by Herself.
This teaches us that Nothing Sue
ceeds like Distress.-Century.

Consul Holloway Makes Statement
Regarding Wealth of Siberian
Gold Mines.

Consul General Holloway, at st. Pc
tersburg, has given the Siberian gold
mines black eye. In a report TO the
state department he says: 81 he value
of Russian gold mines has been greatly
exaggerated. Several experienced
American mining engineers, who
are admitted to be the best in
the world, have visited Siberia in
the interest of English as we'll
as American capitalists during the last
three years and made extensive oxanl-
nations of the conditions, and hare
not heard of a single company being
organized as a result of their reports.
The mining is almost all placer, there
being but two small quartz mines in
the Ural mountains, which are owned
by French capitalists, and are said to
be losing money"

out of a hole and halloes Fire two

dash for cover, while little putfs of

the flying rocks strike It's like be-

there have been only two men knock

ED. BULLETIN Since my letter
of April goth things have changed.
There was talk of sale and stop
page of work by the leasers, making
every one feel blue. To-day | was in
formed that the owners intend to
work them, and do not look for any
oueside assistance. The mines look
better in the lower levels than on top
A strike of good ore in the G' o |
Enough mine, half mile south proves
the existence of mines outside the
belt which has been consid cred to
contain the only mines of the camp
has prompted the owners TO work
the mines themselves. So confidence
is restored and everybody is going
down now to develop the mines,
while heretofore the leasers were
digging out the rich surface deposits.
This information comes from head
quarters and is authentic.

BRIDE GUARDED
BY FORCE

Bris ton, H.. May II. Seven men
armed with shotguns and revolvers,
guarded the residence of George {.
Hunt last night. Within were
George Hunt and his bride. the hero
and heroine Of two elopements and Il
thrilling rescue.
The vigilance of the guard was re-
doubled al daylight for at that time
word was received that Mr. and Mrs.
II. w. Walker were to arrive with an
attacking force sufficient totake their
daughter dead OF alive, from her
hush
But the expected attacking party
did not appear Part Of the guard
dispersed nut the house is still under
arms and the whole village is ready
to rally at a warning cry to the de-
fense of the place, if need be for the
sympathy of all here is with George
Hunt and his bride.
They eloped on Saturday and were
married in Geneva, III. On their
return they were met by Il constable,
who served warrant on Hunt
charging him with abduction.
The bride was torn from her huS-
bands arms and turned over to her
mother The husband furnished
bonds. Hunt last night in company
with his brother-in-law, {. IL. Ecc'eS
drove to the Walker farm. During
a parley in the yard with Mr. and
Mrs. Walker the bride slipped out
and fled down the road, where she
was at once joined by her husband.
Eckles attempted tocover their re-
treat whereat he was set upon by the
Walkers and negro farm hand. The
woman piled horsewhip and the
negro finally felled Eccles with "a
stone. Ecclcs finally reached ms
buggy and drove back to Aurora. In
the meantime, Mr. and Mrs. Hunt
reached a ncighb hbor's and were driven
by them to Hunts home.
The Walkers appeared there short
" aftcrward and demanded their
daughter but she refused to go. La
ter two of thel servants appeared
and renewed the demand leaving
word that the Walkers would appear
in the morning and take their daugh.
ter dead or alive.
Mrs. Hunt declares that she will
never leave her husband and his
friends are determined that she shaIl
not.
