THE NEW TENANT.

Now when he left my life drew
Close shut the easements OF my heart
And locked the door. and in each part
Strange darkness reigned. forlorn ana new
There pierced no happy sunshine through
The barrier Of fastened doors:
The dust lay thick upon the nooIs
Where rosemary was strewn, ana rue
But on a certain day came one
Who knocked and would not be oenied'
And threw the rusted easements Woe
And entered with the wind and sun
The dingy webs that grief had spun
The dust that sad neglect had laid.
The faded hangings. rent and frayed'
Had vanished ere his work was done.
Oh he hath swept my heart for me
Clean of old sorrowing and doubt.
And he hath set IL all about
With peace and happy certainty
Oh home be glad for such as he
And very sweet. nor let him find
That ghost one tenant left behind.

The Buccaneers.

The original ''boucaniers'' were q
wild and picturesque gang. To the
waist they were generally clothed in
a sunburned and weather beaten skin.
and they wore pantaloons Of a coarse
linen, dyed and sriffened with the blood
Of bulls and pigs and held up by a belt
Of rawhide, stuck full Of deadly knives.
Their apparel terminated with pigskin
boots and no stockings, and they car
ried long barreled frelock. loaded
with ounce balls Of lead
They were animated with common
hatred of the Spaniard, which in their
eyes justified any attack upon his per-
sen or property, and by wild sort Of
attachment to each other in their peril
GUS lives, which led to their being
known as the Brethren Of the Coast .
When the Spaniards drove them into
the career of marauders upon the
sea, the word buccaneer took a new
meaning, though they were also known
as freebooters. This was mongrel
English word, '.buiten" being Dutch
and .'bueten" German for plumber. Of
this word the French made ''fribus-
ter" with the silent, and then soften
ed 1t to .'filibustier," which the Span
iards modified into flibustero. So we
finally got the word back. with new
meaning and special application aa

to stop the flames, when it was learned
that a lone miner was working deep Ill
the mine beyond the point where the
IRE started and was then raging with
growing strength. Here is the story
Of the subsequent events:
Foreman Thomas Immediately called
for volunteers to go with him into the
mine to rescue the man. Several at.
tempts were made by different ones.
but they were driven back by the
flames, and the cry of ''Powder!''
caused hasty retreat.
Finally Heber Franklin, young man

said, II will CO." And accompanying
Foreman Thomas he pressed on
through the fire and found the man
working away tamping hole, entire
" unconscious Of the danger threaten
ing him. They succeeded in getting
out of the mine safely, when the fan
was shut off and the dip closed up.
The rescue was an act of great bravery
on the part of Franklin, as his work
kept him on the outside and he was
unacquainted with the exact lay of the
land inside, and the danger of suffoca-
ton from black damp was great. He
was the only man Of the many stand
Ing by whose nerve did not desert him.
It is stated upon good authority that
ten minutes more Of lost time would
have resulted in the death of the miner
who was at work and possibly great
loss to the company, as the supply OF,
air could not be cut off while there was
any hope of rescue, and this would
have tended to feed the fames.-Salt

His Happy Life with His Wife a.

Mount Vernon.
At the time of his retirement to
Mount Vernon. after the expiration OF
his term as president, "the tall figure
of Washington was only slightly bent
and he was still supposed to weigh up
ward of 200 pounds writes William
Perrine Of "The Last Years Of Wash
ington's Life" in The L;...-,s' Home
Journal
Excepting his gray hair and his
false teeth and some trouble in hear
ing there was little of the usual APP
pearance of age in his muscular per.
son, his gait and his strong, pock-
marked face. He was affable and
merry with his best friends, but while
he had the true hospitality of south
ern gentleman in inviting every WIS.,
itor from a distance to bis table or to a
bed over night, his politeness was gen
orally formal. Yet If he particularly
enjoyed the conversation of guest be
would pay him the compliment of lis
tening to him until after 8 o'clock, or
even Of lighting him with the candle to
bedroom for the night.
Mrs. Washington at this time was a
healthy, pleasant and transformations
little woman, still showing traces Of
good looks and with seldom any other
thought than of playing respectfully
her role Of mistress of the house OF a
country gentleman, of caring for the
negroes OF of amusing herself with her
knitting. She had great pride in her
recipe for making cherry bounce
and on midsummer day she cut out
80 pairs of breaches for the men work
ing on the farm. She had said that
she and the general felt like children

HORSE
FELL ON JACUS, BREAKING HIS
LEG, DiSLOCATING HIS ANKLE
AND BRUISlNG HIM.
Mounted Animal That Had Not Been
SaddIed in Three Years and Horse
Fell With Him-Spur Caught in
Trimmings of Saddle, Putting Rid
err at a Disvantage.

w. D. Jacus, employed as a herdel
and ranger on the Riverside ranch
owned by d. c. Bacon of his city. was
brought to town last night suffering
with a broken leg, a d~islocated ankle
and other bruises, the result of a horse
falling on him
Mr. Jacus had been rounding up a
band of horses, and the horse he was
Kidding gave out from the eXertion and
died. He mounted another, one that
had not been saddled for three years,
and in plunging and bucking the horse
fell. Mr.. JacuS' spur caught in the sad
die in some way and the horse fell on
him, catching his left leg and break
ing the front bone just below the knee.
The ankle was dislocated at the same
time and the whole limb more or less
bruised. AS quickly as possible he was
brought to Laramie and taken to the
Johnson hotel. where DR.. Brown was
called and attended him.
Mr.. JaCus is an old bronCho buster.
and is not easy to displace from the
saddle. but he was more than usually
fatigued from having to handle a band
of horses hat had bee running wild
on the plain for three years. and the
feet that his pur became tangled up
in the saddle trimmings put him great
ly at a disadvantage.
The injured man is now resting as
comfortably as it is possible at the
Johnson hotel. where he receives ev-
cry attention hat can be bestowed up
on him, and where he will be kept I'M
til he can be removed to the ranch
house.
