OLD-TIME SKETCHES

YEAST POWDER AL.


 hardly like to write much about man who is alive, but a. Yeast Powder Al has changed his mode of lie and become an honored citizes what I tell of his history will go to show what man can do when he tries.
 He came to Bismark, Dakota and opened faro bank. His lookout was beautiful young woman who was evidently not used to that kind of a life. His most intimate friends knew hin only d. Yeast Powder Al.
 One evening wealthy flour dealer of Minneapolis sat down at the bank, and as luck was with him, he soon had the bank roll, about 5J, 900. Then the fair lookout" said:
 Al, put me up against $500, and I feel certain our luck will change. :"
 10 quicker said than done, and the play went on, with the same results d. before. and soon the flour merchant had won the ''lookoIt." Al looked sad, but quietly said Good bye, dear. | may not see you again, but l risked my very soul on the turn Of q card, and lost. Stranger, care nothing for the money, but that fair young girl is more dear to me than my hearts blood. 1 eloped with her under the promise of marriage, and this is what have brought her to. But she is yours, so again say good by to you, dear, gentle one, and may you forgive me, for l am sure the Lord never will.'
 Nellie wds in tears, and the miller was strangly affected He counted out. 5000 and threw it on the table without d word But Al said:
 Not cent for me. l will have no more of that kind of money. l will commence life anew, and earn my liv- ing by honest toll. But l ask of you, nay, plead with you in the name of Him who died to save all sinners, to be good to the girl"
 The miller quietly asked, ''Do you care 70 much for her." and Al rcplied:
 Care for her. My God, man, l would give my very soul to undo the wrong I have done her.
 "Thcn,' said the miller, ''why do you not marry hcr?'
 ''It would be the proudest, happiest moment of my life," said Al.
 The miller then turned to the sOb- ping, heartbroken girl and said:
 "Nellic, will you marry this man?"
 "With all the love of my heart, and be faithful and true to him forever
 "Then," said the miller, "let ministcy of the gospel be sent for at once. He soon arrived, and the ceremony was performed there in that gambling hall, and every man present uncovered his head, and at the close of a fcrvcnt prayer for the happiness of the couple. most earnest "Amen :! God bless .hcm" came from every man in the saloon.
 But the strangest part of my story is yet to come, for the miller was none other than Ncllie's uncle, whom she had not seen in many years, and who, owing to her excitement, she did not recognize until he kissed the bride, when she swoOned in his arms.
 The happy trio left the next day for Minneapolis, where Yeast Powder Al assumed his own name, and is today one of the wealthiest and most highly respected citizens in the city. C.B.S.
