PhiindeIphia's First Book.

The first book of any kind published
In Philadelphia was Atkins Almanack
for the year 1855. 1t was an unpaged
pamphlet Of ten leaves only two copies
of which are now known to be in ex-
istcncc. The first copy Of the Al
manack printed was sent to Colonel
Markham, pcnn's deputy, who report
cd to the council that the book had
enormously declared Pennsylvania to
have been founded by Lord Penn"
The council disapproved such q high
sounding title and directed the author
and printer (William BradforD to
forthwith and cffcctually blot out yc
words Lord Penn" This had the ef-
feet Of recalling the whole edition and
the abolition of the obnoxious words.

STORY OF A COMMON FARM boy.

This young man has made Il success
of himself anyway. He was the son
Of small farmer-a common country
boy-milkcd the cows, plowcd the corn
and, frecklcd and barefootcd, cut up
pranlis ut tho district school. When
he was eighteen his ambition had be-
como aroused to know more about his
business of farming, and so he deter
mined if possible to secure a thorough
agricultural education at one of our
best colleges. lie dug away for four
years, often pinchcd for money. and
living Il life of absolute self denial so
far as the personal pleasures common
to young men were concerned. lie was
determined to learn all he could, and
learn it thoroughly and well. SO we'll
did he succeed that when lie graduated
place was waiting for him at salary
of $1,000 per year rs manager OF
large stock farm, and now, on his sec
ond year, lie commands salary of
$1,000 and is acquiring wide rcputa-
ton as Il stock judge, breeder and feed
er. In financial way he would do
even better as tho manager of his own
business. He Is not quite twenty-five
years ola yet AMI his future is assured
The point worth noting by other BOYS
In his case is that he wanted to do
something and be somebody; that he
was willing to undergo the hardships
incident to securing the education de-
sired and patiently and persistcntly la
bored for the accomplishment of his
purpose. The reward in his case was
just as sure and just as logical a re-
suit as are poverty, loss of self respect
and failure the results of lazIness, un-
thrift and foolishness.

BURNED AT

Terrible Fare Of a Young Man
Who Was Captured by
Band Of Indians.

In the days when the diligence, or
stagecoach, started from Paso del Nor.
tie to go to Chihuahua there were three
points of great danger along the trail,
one of which was Candelleria, or the
Candle mountain pass, says Colonel
Jack Crawford, the one time noted
scout Here lurked band of Indians
under Victoria and Mana, most notori-
Gus of the Masscellerro and Apache In
dams. These chiefs were reckoned the
most bloodthirsty and cruel of any that
infested the border at that time.
One night as we neared the pass on
the way to chihuahua it was pitch
dark. rode in advance of the coach.
The only passenger was a Twenty-Five
year-old young man named Pugh from
st. Louis. The diligence was drawn by
old fashioned mule teams. A typical
cocherro, or driver. named Pedro Au-
GUSTAV held the lines. He was a genu-
inc Castilian. Beside Pedro rode the
flambeau boy, with his pipe sticks and
resin.
Soon saw signs of Indians and rode
back to warn the driver.
Before l reached the diligence Il rifle
cracked, and one of the lead mules fell
dead. The fiambeau boy lighted his
resin torch to see what was the matter.
The mules, all alright. became tam
gled in the harness. We all were at
sea as TO where the deadly bullet came
from.
Then came from directly before US
screech of internal yells, often read
about, but rarely heard. We knew the
going to wait to see which way we
would go.
Put out the fame" 1 called quickly
to the boy. Quit your team and get
your rifle, Pedro 1 exclaimed to the
driver, and 1 ordered Pugh, the only
passenger to hide in the shadows be-
hind the rocks. 1t was useless to try
to go farther, as the Indians had set an
ambuscade for us.
Pedro 1 said, wen stand them
off. We can kill them. It's our only
chance" 1 hid my horse in the shad
ows, told Pedro to get mule. ordered
the boy to get another and told Pugh
to do likewise. But poor Pugh became
dazed with fright, and instead of fall
ing back to shelter he rushed ahead of
the mules and straight into the arms OF
the Indian runners. With Il storm of
hideOus yells the redskins danced
about the captive. We did not see
Pugh run away in the dark, and the
first we knew of his capture was when
we heard his screams rising above
those of the demons who caught him.
We three who remained fell back to-
ward Los Toncas. hearing as we re-
treated the unearthly. demoniacal yells
of the Apaches and the heartbreaking
cries of the young man. Attempt at
rescue was useless. We never could
have helped the poor boy. We could
hear his screams as they tortured. mu-
tilated and burned his body. While

Bishop Moore has had many exciting
adventures in all three of the coun-

friends they came near meeting death
at the hands of some Korean coolies,
who mistook them for Russians. The
attack was most furious, but the party
defended themselves with the modern
weapons in their possession until they
were finally rescued by members of the
Japanese consulate. y number of the
coolies were later tried and punished
by the Korean government.
During the Boxer uprising Bishop
Moore had many thrilling experiences,
