HIS SECOND THOUGHT.
The Stage Driver Acted ON 1t and
Saved His Passengers.


The Stage Driver Acted ON 1t and
Saved His Passengers.
Back in the good old days when
nerves and railroads were little known
an old stage road ran from Lake
Champlain to Ogdensburg, n. Y, pass
ing through the little town of SOdom.
This village nestled IN valley be-
tween two great hills, over which the
white ribbon of the road wound steep
ly.
Upon one of the trips of the stage the
regular driver, who had been at home
for some weeks recovering from an i'll
ness, was riding inside, while the red
haired, mild featured, big boned Irish
man acting as his substitute occupied
the drivers seat upon the box. The day
was a beautiful one, and the passen-
gers were enjoying their drive keenly.
their appetites increasing as the dis
lance lessened between them and the
town of Sodom, with its promised
pause for refreshment.
Suddenly as the heavy stage lum-
bered over the brow OF the hill, down
which the road plunged at sharp an
gle, running through the little town at
its foot and ascending the hill beyond,
the passengers became conscious that
their pace had been Pecklessly In
creased. Faster and faster they went,
dashing down the hill at rate rapidly
becoming a furious one. Trees and
bushes at last became but a dlZ2ying
blur along the road. All chung to the
reeling stage and held their breath in

the hill with ever increasing speed, into
the town. past the hostelry with the
waiting host left standing in amaze at
the door, past the post office without
pause, and out upon the road lead
ing up the face of the hill beyond.
There the pace slackened, and as the
incline grew more steep az last the
smoking horses came TO a standStill
With one accord the dazed passengers
tumbled out and surrounded the driver,
who now stood at the head of his
reelling leaders.
What is it, Pat? What is it? Did
they get away from your came the
breathlesS questions.
Nope" replied Pat with a set face.
at wor that" pointing grimly before
him. There lay the stage tongue drag
ging uselessly on the ground at the
heels of the horses and completely sew
cred from the coach. At a glance the
regular driver comprehended the mean
ing of the danger to which the passen-
gers of that stage, deprived of its sole
means of guidance, had been exposed.
and, realizing the miracle of their es-
cape. he turned sick and tainted where
he stood.
Later. back at the inn, when the ex-
element had somewhat subsidized and
fresh horses were being put to the re-
paired coach. some one turned to Pat
and asked:
Pat. what was your first thought
when the pole droppedT"
"Well, sor," he answered, settling the
quid more comfortably in his cheek,
me furst thought wor, Lord ha' mer-
cy on our sowls" Thin thinks l to

SEEING ITS LAST DAYS
There'Il Soon Be No Public Steer Ty.
 ing in New Mexico.

c. C. Hall of Albuquerque, N. NJ, who has been in the city in the interest Of the territorial fair to be held there says that it is proposed to make the steer tying event the greatest that has ever been held in a cattle country It will be, he says, perhaps the last cattle tying exhibition that will ever be wit messed in New Mexico. Most of the cat tlemen of the territory are opposed tn these shows, and they nearly succeeded in the last legislature in passing a law against them. The sentiment in oppo- sition to them has grown so since tha1 it is almost certain that q law will be passed at the next session.
 The objection of the cattlemen is thai intending contestants spend too much time practicing for these events on the range, not only wasting the time they should be devOting to their bushes but to the great detriment of the horns and lives of the cattle. It is not only the intending contestants who get the craze just before q steer tying match is coming on. but many other cowboys who have no intention of entering the contest
 There has been some complaint nf lile same kind among the cowmen of this territory.
 The purse to be put up at the Albu querque lair is generous enough to al tract the attenion of expert cowboys

WINNING FOR HflNZf
In One of lis Suits Against the
 AnaCOnda.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 29.-Judge Clancy in the. district court today rendered his decision in the famous Ripper mine case which involved mining property valued at $10.0OO.00O. By today's deci- sion the plaintiffs, F. Augustus HeinZe and others are granted everything they have asked against the Washoe Copper company and the Anaconda Copper company.
 The suit involved rich ore bodies un- der the surfaces Of the Oden and other claims owned by the defendants. The plaintiffs claimed to own these ore bodies on the ground that they were extra lateral portions of the Ripper vein. The defendants denied that there was any Ripper vein at all in the Ripper mining claim and therefore de nied that the plaintiff had any claim on the ore bodies involved. The case will be appealed to the supreme court.

FAIR TRUNKS ROBBED.
Sable Coat Worth $40, 900 Gone
With Other Articles.

San Francisco Jan. 21.-A sensational
discovery was made, says the Call, when
the personal effects of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles L. Fair arrived from Paris
a few days ago The magnificent Rus
sian sable coat, valued at SO 600, which
Mrs. Fair bequeathed in her viii to Mrs.
Joe Harvey, was gone, and cheap Inn
itation affair, not worth thirty dollars,
had been substituted in its place. Mrs.
Fairs famous pearl necklace of five
strings, valued at $4,000, had been
tempered with. and instead of real
pearls in the necklace, cheap imitation
gems had been set in their places. Num-
bers of articles of jeweIry which the
Fairs We're known to have taken to
Europe were missing. and their only
effects which were returned through the
American consulate in Paris intact were
Mrs Fairs chinchiHa and mink coats
and Charles Fairs scarfpins. 7 he
changes were made. it is believed, before
the valuables were turned over to the
American consulate. Steps have been
taken to attempt to locate the stolen
articles.
