The American an octoroon.

The average adult American is a
statistical Octoroon. If the blood in
the veins of all our people, white and
black. were pooled and redistributed,
each person would have about seven
parts white and one part negro blood.
The white strain in him, moreover, is
by no means purely American. White
strains of foreign origin, derived from
Germany, Ireland, Scandinavia, Can
ada. Great Britain and the countries
of southern Europe. are collectively
more powerful in his composition than
is the negro strain.
Thus. going back only one genera
tion, we find him to be a composite,
the creation of widely differing bloods
and nationalities. The peoples of the
earth, from the Kongo under the equa-
tor to the North cape of Europe, have
contributed, either Immediately or re-
mOtely, to his composition. But with
it all we find the AnglO-SaxOn strain
the dominant one. His political in
stitutiOns, his laws, his social condi
tions and his mental characteristics
his power of initiative and his inde
pendence of thought and action are
Anglo-Saxon, sharpened and intensified
by fresh contact with nature under
new and untried conditions.
1t is a strange and a gratifying thing
to witness, in connection with thi
/ mixture of blood, the complete domi
nance of the Anglo-Saxon strain, ant
! it argues well for it's strength ant
vitality as well as for the welfare o
/ the country which he occupies ant
governs.-Everybody's Magazine.

raised as to quality or weight.
Benson's Porous Plaster sells on its repu

be certain of is that the plaster offered him
really Is Benson's, and not worthless imi-
tation of it or substitute for it.
A plaster is the best form of external rem

physicians and druggists, and multitude
OF people no man can number, have settled
that. You can trust it," they say.
Coughs, colds, lame back, lumbago, mus
cular stiffness and rheumatism, troubles of
the liver and kidneys, influenza or grip,
pneumonia, and all other diseases open to
external treatment, are at once relieved and
cured by BensOn's Plaster.
Do no. assume that Belladonna, Capsi-
cum or rengthening plasters are "just as
good as'' Benson's. They are vastly i'll

terminus one morning when old Jim
received a telegram. He opened the
telegram with steady hand, read the
message without a tremOr and then
twisted it up and lighted his pipe with
it. And yet l came to know that the (.
telegram told him that his wife and |
Frazer were elOping together and had |
tickets for the day express bound |
west. His imperturbability deceived
me, and l did not give the message a
second thought. A man must have
nerves of steel to con a message like
that and never blanch. At noon, when
we reached Thomasville, we got orders
to run to Bascombs and there side
track for the express. We could do it
with three or four minutes to spare.
Bascom's was not even station, but
a siding half a mile long on the prairie,
and we must do our own switching
For three miles beyond it was a
straight track, and then it went curv-
ing and turning among the hills and
over a brawling creek. When we had
come within a mile of the siding, 1
looked for Jim to begin to slow up, but
,
he even increased the speed, and when
l shouted in his ear he waved me back.
We passed the siding at a clip of %
miles an hour and gaining on that ev-
cry minute, and as 1 at last grabbed
Jim's arm he pulled a revolver from
his breast and motioned for me to
stand back. The man had not gone
crazy, he had not misunderstood his
orders, but what was he doing in thus
passing the siding? In run of three
of four miles we must meet the ex-
press. For a second 1 thought of at
tacking him with a poker but he look
ed over his shoulder at me with grim
smile and motiOned with his head for
me to jump. Then it occurred to me
that the train had got away from him.
and turned and sprang from the cab
1t was soft prairie for the fall, but it
seemed to me that 1 turned over and
over 500 times before the breath was
finally knocked out of my body. When
my senses returned, heard the hiss of
steam and the shrieks and cries of in
jured men and women, and had stag
gered along the track less than mile
when came upon the frightful wreck.
The engines of the express and freight
had met head on, and 80 people had
been killed and 20 injured in the awful
smash. 1t was the most terrible rail
road wreck for a score of years.
l helped to get old Jim's crushed and
mTftilated body out, and helped to get
out the crushed and mutilated bodies
of his wife and Frazer, but it was day:
before l got at the true facts in thu
case. Finding himself betrayed, thu
old man had deliberately brought abou
the collision that he might have re
venge on the guilty pair and be wipet
out at the same time. If he though
of the innocent who would suffer a
well, he had no pity. He must hav
hated the whole world as well as thOs
who had directly wronged him.

ed Colville. He was ten years my SEN
ior and also an old bachelor. Jim was
what everybody called a square man.
He had lots of sentiment for a plain,
uneducated man and a conscience so
tender that he wouldn't have knowing
ly hurt the feelings of an Indian. He
was a sort of daddy" for 200 miles
along the line and had the esteem of
officials and men alike. The idea that
Jim would fall in love at his age would
have been laughed to scorn by all who
knew him, and yet he not only went
soft" ON a girl, but made the mistake
that old bachelors often do. She was
a chit named Mary Blaine, only half
his age and coquette and a f1irt. We
figured it out that there was more SYM
pathy than love ON his part and that
she was marrying him instead of a
younger and better looking man be-
cause he had several thousand dollars
in the bank and would baby her up.
They were married on the quiet one
day, and for a few weeks old Jim's
face carried a look of ccntentment and
things went well in his little home at
Pine Hill.

LIFE'S CONVERSATIONS.

Why should we ever weary Of this life7
Our souls should widen ever, not contracti
Grow stronger and not harder in the strife,
Filling each moment with a noble act.
If we live thus, of vigor all compact,
Doing our duty to our fellow men
And striving rather to exalt our race
Than our poor selves, with earnest hand or pen,
We shall erect our names a dwelling place
Which not all ages shall cast down again;
Offspring Of Time shall then be born each hour,
Which, as OF old, earth lovingly shall guard
To live forever in youths perfect flower
And guide her future children heavenward.

proved. 1t was also said that she was
fond of going to parties and balls and
was being generally criticised. Every

new gossip, and, while realizing that it
must be exaggerated, there was enough
truth to make me anxious about my

him with the gossip?
By and by a passenger engineer
named Frazer came to live at the Hill.
He was a man of %. good looking,
good company and free handed. He
knew Jim well, and he soon got ac-
quainted with the wife. l threw my
self in Frazer's way one day and told
him what public gossip said and left
it to him whether he shouldn't stop be-

nant, he became defiant, and the result
was a fight in which battered him up

felt sure he was going to speak about
the fight. but he checked himself after
word or two. He had not only been
told about the scrap. but what had led
up to it as well. and there was only
one of two courses for him to take. He
must either bid me mind my own busi-
ness and let him attend to his own do
mestic affairs or take 1t for granted
that l was acting in a friendly spirit
and be put upon his guard for the fu

1t appears that Capt. Smith had COM

that when the boat loaded for the

A Minneapolis company is figuring
on taking over several mining claims
in the Gold Basin country winh the
intention of putting in cyanide plant
to handle the ores. In aud around the
Gold Basin country there are many
mining claims showing good values on
the outcrop, but the scarcity of water
makes them hard to handle. There is
no doubt that water can be obtained in
the mines if depth is had, but to take
water into the camp will be an expen.
sive undertaking. The Colorado river
is only about twenty miles away and
there are places on the river in the
canyons that can be utilized to gener-
ate power for all purposes, and at the
same time the ores can be trammed to
