Fro.t, Snow ana r.,...

A young man in this town by the
name of Frost thinks he has some.
thing coming to him on account of a
very disappointing love affair. 1t
seems from the evidence that his heart
was melted by the charms of a maiden
named Snow. They were, in fact.
schoolmates, and from the first early
season of their attachment Frost
looked forward to the time when he
could call her his own. But new per-
son arrived on the scene by the name
of Friese. Miss Snow began to yield to
the warmth of the latter's wooing, and
before long Mr.. Frost was informed
that her heart had grown cold to him,
she loved Friese only. And now Frost
thinks it is a cold deal, and is praying
that grace may be given him to play
Friese out. But in the meantime Miss
Snow has fallen into another's arms.
Mr.. Frost's friends advise him to let
the matter drift along. Frost says he's
deep enough in misery now.-Portland
Oregonian.

have no dread of trial, but is very
apprehensive of lynching OF some
form of violence and those who watch
him say that he is really cowardly.

The s1aad ana the Title.

Once upon time there was fair
young girl who had many suitors, but
she received them all with equal gra-
ciousness and waited for her affec-
lions to dictate which should be the
especially favored one.
Finally, she heard that rich uncle
of one of her wooers had died leaving
him clear and unencumbered title to
many acres of very valuable land.
When next she met the young man she
showed quite plainly that her afec-
tions had begun to dictate.
The result was that they were mar
ried when the next June came around.

in America.-N. Y. Herald.

1t is said that gray eyes in woman
indicate a better head than heart.
Gray eyes, however, are of many va
rieties. There are the sharp, the
shrewdish, the spiteful, the cold,
the penetrating, the meditating and
the intellectual; but the fact re.
mains that the gray represents the
head. Gray is said to be the color
of talent and shrewdness. Great
thinkers have gray eyes. It might
also be added that great men have

Cause Of Explosion a Mystery.

Cause of Explosion a Mystery.
The cause of the explosion is a mys-
terry. It occurred in what is known as
number left fat entry, which is near
the eastern end of the mine and about
two miles from the main entry. Most
of the force of miners at work were
in the vicinity of the entry in which
the explosion occurred.
The explosion was not heard outside
of the mine, and none except those at
work knew anything of it until those
who escaped came rushing to the main
entry and spread the news of the dis
aster. For some time it was thought
that so or more of the men had been
caught by the explosion. Gradually,
however, the lamp room in which each
miner deposits his safety lamp at the
end of the days work began to fill up
and it was by this means that the real
number of the missing was ascer-
tanned.
May BE Found Alive.
Hopes are entertained that the men
may still be living, and three rescuing
parties have made efforts to reach
them. The first party found two men
unconscious in one of the workings,
and they were revived after being
brought to the surface. It has been
impossible to reach the others on &C
count of the dense smoke and after
damp. The mine was owned by Pitts
burgers, and the loss will be about
$4,000 from flooding.

known, are now believed to be still in
