BLACK HAWK.

Central City miner. who has long been
noted in Gilpin county on account OF his
excessive drinking, should be a happy
man today, and no doubt he is. About
week ago cousin, with whose family
Sorenson boarded in Central City, re-
ceived notice that an uncle of theirs in
Sweden had died and left about $4,000
to the two cousins they being the only
heirs.
Fearing that Sorenson would go on a
protrated spree when he heard the news
his cousin, after soma persuasion, induced
him to come to Denver few days ago,
where he entered Keeley institute to
be treated for the liquor habit
After he was discharged cured his
cousin told him of the legacy, half ex-
pecting him to start drinking, but after
Sorenson's enthusiasm was over he re-
marked that he could not take drink
even if it cost him his part of the money.
The cousin leaves for Sweden to night to
settle the matter up.

How TO Begin the Day.

/ begin my days work some mornings,
perhaps .wearied, perhaps annoyed by a
multiplicity of TRIES which seem too small
TO bring great principles to bear upon
them. But do you not think there would
be a strange change wrought in the petty
annoyanees OF every day and in the small
trifes that all our lives, of whatever tex-
ture they are, must largely be composed
of, If we began each day and task with
that old prayer: Rise, Lord, and let
Thine enemies be scattered?" Do you not
think there would come a quiet IN our
hearts and a victorious peace to which we
are too much strangers? If we carried the
assurance that there is One that fights for
us into the trif1es as well as into the sore
struggles of our lives, we should have
peace and victory. Most of US viii not
have many large occasions of trial and con-
hict in our career, and if Gods fighting for
US is not actual In regard to the small an
noyances of home and daily life, l know
not for what it is available. MANY
mickles make a muckle," and there are
more deaths in skirmishes than in the
pitched field of a great battle. More
Christian people lose their hold of God,
their sense of His presence and are beaten
accordingly, by reason Of the little enc
mics that come down on them like a cloud
of gnats on a summers evening, than are
defeated by the shock of a great assault
or a great temptation, which calls out their
strength and sends them to their knees to
ask for help from God.0John Watson,

Ingratitude.

lngratitude in those who have helped in
their desire to do better things viii not
lnjure you In the least particular, if you
steadfastly refuse to allow it to stir up
T,our feelings, and to make a way into your
heart for anger, and what is born of it.
You have had reward enough in being per-
united to do the Christlike Office of help
ing the unfortunate and the ~sorrowfuI.
Take that gift and be glad.
The twinge you feel may be a reminder
that your motives were not pure, but were
mixed with something which you are not
willing to admit to yourself in doing the
good which you did, and that the ingrati-
tude OF which you complain is sent Of God
to make this revelation that you may
have a further reward in getting to know
what IS In yourself. As much which prof
It's You is from what is bitter, and as God
is seeking to make the best possible use
OF you in this world, and to nave you pre-
pared for the glorious future to which you
aspire, then thank God for the ingratitude
you feel so greatly because of the hidden
store OF evil 1T shows you in yourself, and
at once cooperate with God in getting rid
OF it. When this has been done faithfully.
and you ind that you are able to see such
lngratltude with a smile of content. and
thus realize that what you do for others
Is for Chrlsts sake, and not for other
motives, you have reached a spiritual con-
dition which is ap~proximating what you
are to be for ever when you are following
the Lamb whithersoever He goeth in
heaven. What we bear for Christ is as
much IN indication of His spirit being in
US as what we do for Him and His cause.
It IS a great and eonsolatory truth that
Christ is our burden-bearer, but it is also
true that we are to follow Him in bearing
the contradiction of sinners against our
peace of mind with the same spirit He
showed when in the tous of the wicked
Presbyterian Journal.

Bride Says She Was Spanked.

The n topic of discussion in the
whole country side at Columbia, is
the alleged spanking of the beauti-
full child-bride by her angry father
when she returned home after elop-
ing with the youth of her choice. In
stead of bestowing his blessing n-the
historical way, William Smith is al
legged to have given his daughter, who
is still early in her teens, a resound-
ing spanking. She is greatly humili-
ated, as is her husband, who caused
the arrest of the angry parent, and the
already celebrated spanking case will
be fought out in court. Margaret Ma
tilda Smith was between fourteen and
fifteen years old. bright, decidedly pref
ty and simply looked on as a school,
girl when she met Albert Ellis Cisco,
of Nicholson, Pa. a short time ago.
There was a brief but enthusiastic
courtship. and the youthful pair went
to Washington, in this State, where
they were married by Justice of the
Peace Crawling. Returning to the
Smith home. the child-bride asked for
giveness and all that. but, it is alleged,
received treatment from the parental
palm that reminded her Of the days Of
bib and tucker. Then the bridegroom
got angry and hunted up a constable
and caused the arrest Of Mr.. Smith
or the charge of assault and battery.

ter with walking up twelve OF fifteen

it has the immense advantage Of being

Negroes Colonize Here.

The great success of the Russian
Hebrew colony of Woodbine. founded
by Baron de Hirsch, has recently at
tracted another colony founder to Cape
May County-former Representative
White, of North Carolina. a negro.
The new colony is in the lower end of
the county on a tract of $500 acres.
Already many negro families from yir-
ginia and North Carolina have settled
there. The town of Whitesboro has
been laid out on a plot Of 500 acres.
In close proximity are half a dozen
seashore resorts, where the negro
farmers will find a ready market for
their produce. The founder will allow
only the better class of Southern ne
groes to join the colony. He has agents
in the Southern States offering farms
to good and competent farmers on most
liberal terms. The land has been laid
out in farms Of ten, twenty and fifty
acres. The soil is unusually fertile
and yielded abundant crops to the pio-
neers this year. About January
1 thirty families will arrive from Char
lotte, N. G. Whitesboro lies alone the
line of the Pennsylvania and Reading
systems. Many who become residents
of the town will find employment in
the summer months at Cape May. Hol-
ly Beach, Wildwood, Anglesea, Sea Isle
City and Ocean City. Several canning
facorties will be built and thousands
of dollars will be expended in making
the new colony a success.

IN modest retirement their alliance with

Both these methods of solitude and serv-

Figured Land Value Finely.

Asher B. Pew and Patrick Hogan,
for whose land condemnation proceed
ings were recently instituted by the
Peoples Traction Company, in an effort
to compel its proposed right of way
for its trolley road between Mount
Holly and Burlington. have been
awarded by the commissioners 5000
each for the lands to be used. Pew
set no price upon his land, being OPP
posed to the trolley on his side of the
road, but Hogan asked for 5000 at
the outset. Later on he was willing
to compromise at $4,000, taking for his
basis the value of his land at SIS per
year, with interest, for a period of 100
years. The interest on the money
now offered him, together with princf-
pal, would exceed the amount of his
claim. The case will be carried to
the Court of Errors and Appeals.

THE MAN WHO TRIED 70 PLEASE.

Once n q time there was a man who never
made mistakes,
And an the people stared at him and said,
For pity sakes,
It must be very nice to find ones life q
grand sweet song;
To be so very proper that you never can
go wrong
But soon he grew so lonely that he knew
not what to do,
For conversation always ceased when he
came into view;
His most surprising qualities each praised
with all his heart;
But each seemed quite relieved when he
was ready to depart.
So he bought himself a parrot-the project
caused him pain,
And s~tudiously set to work and learned a
word profaue;
And still he wasn't happy, for the gossips
raised a fuss,
human, just like u.s."

and their military strategy. Professor
McCook is ar authority upon his sub

which he has contributed several Inn

the Civil and Cuban wars. He is now

pany, said that he will carry up the
suit of Alvic Peterson against the COM
pany to a higher court. The jury
which heard this case at New Bruins
wick gave Mr.. Peterson a verdict of

because the passenger had been eating,
peanuts and throwing the shells on the
floor. The passenger claimed that the
conductor had no right to put him off
and that the conductor had used unnec-
essary force.
