AN EARTHLY TRINITY.
Health and Wealth Ought to BE
Linked With Happiness.

We are used to feel, to put it crudely,
that folks who have health and money
ought to be happy. And so they should.
A sufficient income promotes comfort,
and that contributes to cheerfulness of
spirit, and to have health Of course
means to feel well, and that Is long
step toward feeling good. But how far
do we have to look to find persons with
health to sQuander and more money
than they know how to spend making
strenuous efforts to attain happiness
and merely achieving impaired health?
IL you have health and money you can
usually buy pleasure, but enjoyment is
z different article, and even when you
have got enjoyment happiness may
still elude you. Pleasure pals and
sometimes demoralizes; enjoyment eas-
lily yields TO weariness, but you don't
get tired Of being happy, and you may
be ever so tired and be happy still.
Happiness is state of satisfaction.
One reason why 1t is SO elusive may be
because we human creatures are
complication Of body mind and spirit
and require for our complete satisfac
ton particularly nice adjustment Of
blessings and Of conduct. If we in
dulge the body too much the other two
partners become mutinous; If we over
cultivate the mind the body may break
down, and II we bestOw all our atten-
ton on mind and body. the spirit. is
nored, takes sure vengeance on us for
our neglect. 1t Is so difficult so to
measure and direct our efforts as to
! appease all the demands Of our tripli-
cate natures that the simpler way is
to regard happiness as byproduct,
| give over all direct attempts to acquire
a constant supply Of 1t and simply ac.
cept however much Of it may come
while we go about our business with
such intelligence as we can. We can
usually keep our bodies in fair repair
II we are not too lazy or too self indul-
gent. If we have to earn our llvings
our minds and bodies, too. find occupa-
ton that is usually wholesome, and
the discipline of work done, as it usual
~ is, for others as we'll as for our
selves, helps TO satisfy the exactions OF
the spirit-Harper's Weekly.

HEAVY LOSS At PAsSAlc.
Damage in New Jersey Town Esti.
mated at 100000.

Passaic. n j.. Oct. 13.-The food
conditions in this city and vicinity
were considerably improved during
the day. The high water mark at the
Dundee dam has fallen two feet All
danger of break at the dam is now
thought to be past.
Wellington is still under water and
several hundred persons are still TAX
ing refuge in the public schools. Four
or five hundred residents of Walling-
ton are being sheltered in the town
hall and school buildings at Passaic.
The total loss from the food in this
city is estimated at about $4,000, 900,
without any insurance This does not
include the loss to workmen who are
thrown out OF employment temporarily
or the loss sustained by manufacturers
by the interruption to business Nearly
every mill is closed.
At Duttonville fifty or more houses

NOTED RANCH SOLD.
Ferris Brothers Buy Old Ranch Opened
By President Roosevelt.

w - 0sSe'SsO S0y Wv sN~''S' OSS''> -
BY President Roosevelt.
The old Chimney Butte" ranch,
made famous as the ranch established
by president Roosevelt when he was a
Bad Lands cattleman, has been sold by
the Northern Pacific to Ferris brothers
of Medora.
The ranch is a relic of the olden
times in the cattle country, when the
broad acres of both the government
and the railroad were unsurveyed and
the only right recognized was squat
ters' right" The intending cattle
king located at a convenient watering
place. erected his ranch house and
barns and remained secure in his pos
sessions as though he had the patent
of governments to enforce his claim.
This ranch was established by Mr.
Roosevelt in 1881, soon after his first
trip west on a buffalo hunting expe-
dition. 1t was stocked with range cat
tie bought by the future executive, and
was for years his headquarters in the
west. The Ferris brothers were the
managers for Roosevelt in his cattle
venture. and the property they have
bought embraces about 5000 acres OF
grazing and pasture land.
1t is situated at what is known as
the Chimney Butte" crossing OF the
Little Missouri river. its name arising
from an immense scoria butte which
towers high above its fellows at the
river crossing. 1t was at this ranch
that President Roosevelt wrote some of
his entertaining western sketches.
Subsequently the president located an
other ranch known as the "Elkhorn,"
forty miles south of Medora, and from
here he outfitted for many of his noun
tain trips This ranch has been long
since abandoned.

WATERS IN EAST RECED|NG'
NO FURTHER DAMAGE LIKELY IN
THE FLOODED EAST.
Loss to Property at Paterson and Pas.
sale, N. j., Now Estimated
at $2,0oo,ooo Each.

Paterson. n. j., Oct. 13.-The people
of this unfortunate city are beginning
to realize the extent of the great flood
which began last Friday. Nearly two
entire wards. taking in the manufac-
turing section. have been under water
since that day. During the morning
thousands of men, women and chill
dren employed in different mills and
factories found they could not go to
work on account of these places be-
ing shut down. A great many of these
people have also been driven from
their homes and have neither food nor
shelter. The heaviest damage in Pat
ersOn was TO the manufacturers. At
present il is impossible TO give an ac
curate idea of the total loss, but con-
servative estimates are about 81 .000,-
COO
The police and firemen have been
steadily engaged since Saturday morn
ing in the work of rescuing families
from the upper floors or the roofs of
their houses in the flooded district
and the work is still going on
The water continues to fall and
there does not seem to be any chance
OF further damage being done unless
another severe storm should set in.
The health authorities have diff
cult task before them in devising
means to prevent an epidemic of sick
ness in the flooded territory. The
people who were forced to leave their
homes will not be allowed to return
until the districts are in a sanitary
condition.

o.

According to an article in the
Worlds Work for October. there are
in Alaska and contiguous territory
all farther north than any now touched
by any existing line-ten thousand
miles of railroad already under con-
struction or definitely projected; a
greater mileage than that Of the Union
Pacific, the Northern Pacific and the
Erie systems combined" And the
most marvellous thing about it Is, not
that these railways are to be built,
but that they will in many instances
find a country already developed" and
waiting for their coming Nome. for
instance, has today $4,000 inhabitants
and many important industries aside
from gold mining. Portland. Ore, even
so late as 1880, had only little more
than 1900 inhabitants, and had but
moderate additions to the number
when in 1888 the Northern Pacific was
completed. When Nome shall well
come the railroad which is to connect
it with Seattle and ST. Paul, it will at
the outset furnish an immense traffic.
The products exported from Alaska
and the adjoining Yukon territory in
Canada, in the thirty-six years since
Stewards purchase. are estiwated at
$375,OOO,O 900. The country now alb
serbs, mainly from the United States,
$40 100000 annually in manufactured
goods and supplies. The United States
revenues have amounted to enough,
since he purchas Sc. to pay tho p-!ce--
81 900 OO0-and 81. 10000 more. Pres
dent Roosevelt was quite within the
bounds of reasonable prophecy when
he predicted, last May, that the men
of his age will not be old men before
they see one of the greatest and most
populous states of the entire Union in
Alaska" and that Alaska within the
next century will support population
as large as does the entire Scandinav-
ian peninsula of Europe"-that is, OF
over 100000.

HOT TIMES IN kENSAL.
Touqhs Wreck the Office of Editor Al
len of the kensal News.

A Kensal dispatch says: The Office
of the News was raided Saturday night,
the Job press broken and several cases
of type taken out of the building and
DESTROYED. Other damage was done
to the property. The first intimation
Editor Allen had of the damage was
Saturday morning when he saw the
broken glass in the windows. Two
days previous to that fellow threw
potatoes through the front window or
the Office and broke the glass. He was
arrested and fined $40, and resident
standing beside him al the time and
abettng him in the act was soaked
$40 for his free encouragement.
For months Kensal has been infested
with blindpiggers, toughs and tin
horns, liquors have been shipped in
here and sold in large quantities and
many offenses against decency and
society have been committed Mr. AL
len has reported some of these hap
penings, and added the line, This is
a hot town" or something to that ef-
feet and in consequence his shop has
been damaged. The town will be now
be cleaned up.
Four arrests have been made ant
States Attorney Baldwin will arrive
to prosecute.

Chinese taken into custody here Sun
day because they could not produce
registration certificates about 13O were
released during the night friends hav-
ing placed the requisite papers before

say that most of the others probably

lost, but the act of congress makes
no provision for such loss and in such
cases. the authorities say, deportation
must take place.

THIEVES AND OMENS.
Criminals M a Rule Are the slaves
of SuperstitiOn.

Some of the most notorious criminals
who. it would hardly be thought. paid
the slightest attention to omens, good
perstitions Of all kinds.
The burglar is believer in the sig
nificance Of dreams and has been
known to relinquish big burgling feat
If q dream the night before has warned
him that he will be in danger should he
disregard the warming If he saw
rainbow he would consider it to por-
tend that, however reckless he may be.
he is not likely to fall into the hands
of the police for space of three
months. Burglars have been known to
carry a donkey's shoe in their pocket
before turning out, believing that this
will protect them from danger, while
others pin their faith to piece Of coal,
which they will carry in their pockets
throughout their career and afterward
bequeath it to confederate.
The pickpocket is equally supersti-
tious. 1t is said he wils not rob per-
son who squints, this being accounted
| q sign of disaster, and II it happens
that the purse he robs contains foreign
coins it Is believed to auYur that he
will travel good deal in the immedi-
ate future. whether in the company OF
a couple Of officers or not there is moth
ing to show.
| Weddings and funerals are pregnant
with meaning for the professional thief
To pick pocket at funeral would be
to court immediate disaster whereas il
purse stolen at a wedding contains
gold ii portends the best of luck fol
the thief during the ensuing six months
Some pickpOckets have favoritt
pair Of boots that they wear as long as
they can keep them on their feet, aut
II they are not arrested while they are
wearing them they cut the boots III
into little square pieces and give then
away as "lucky tokens" to their pals.
