A Dramatic Sensation.

In "Resurrection" Count Leo Tol-
stoi's latest MASTERPIECES, the reading
public of the entire world have been
stirred up as never never before by
his tremendous arguments and orig
inality of thoughts against the evils
of modern society. In Tolstoi's
apothesis of the soul and its relation
to the Maker Of all things lies the
tremendous eloquence Of his appeal.
Hypocritical cant is eliminsted,
truth is put on pedestal the infidel
and the creedist can here meet on a

irrigating bitches and reservoirs in
order to furnish homes for the COM

are some figures running in my mind.
At the time tho civil war closed We
had q population of "a, ,OOO,O 600, and
have been increasing at the rats Of

rate the gain in twenty two years

show that We double our population
every thirty years.
"At the close of the civil war all
the land in northern Wisconsin,
western Iowa, western Minnesota
and west of the Mississippi River
to tho Pacific Ocean was practically
vacant. To. day, speaking generally,
there is NO arabic land to he had

There is not an acre of public land

6efeSroDber;S Exciting Foof
Race In fbc WfIds Of
Metz Mexico.

Several years ago /. 4. Tanquary,
now a prominent member of the Order
of Railway Photographers, was assigned
Mexico.
Work was still going on on h road,
and there was nothing at Mr.. Tan
quary's station except sunlight and
sand and cactus. The station had not
even peer named. Nor was there any
water there. The company had dug a
well twelve miles up the line, and it
was the nearest water within a hun
dred miles.
Now, water was Il prime necessity IN
that sandy waste, and when the work
train started up the track about .
o'clock the evening OF the second day
Mr.. Tanquary accompanied it, bearing
with him his ten gallon keg to be filled
with water at the well. Being a ten
derfoot, he was not acquainted with
the habits of the work train, and when
he arrived at the well he was informed
that it would not return to his station
until the next day.
He knew that he must not desert his
station that night, and, filling himself
with water. he started to walk back in
the early moonlight.
He had not gone far when from up
In the hills came down to him a long,
low wall like that of n banshee. AS he
stopped to listen to ii he heard al an
swering wall afar off and another and
again until a dozen waillng voices set
his heart TO %quaking. Off IN the yellow
sand dunes he saw small black spots
moving rapidly to a common center.
He knew what the walls meant. The
timber wolves had scented him.
The pack followed him down the
track.
He was yet three or four miles from
his station, where his rifle and revolv-
ers were, and he started to run the
track. Nearer and nearer came the
wolves. They were so near now that
he could kslr them snarling and snap
ping at one another.
His foot struck something on the
track that rang out, and he stopped
and picked up an angle bar with which
to beat off his pursuers when they
came up. He was getting very tired,
for the night was hot. Soon he was
compelled to slow up, then stop, and
the wolves, their eyes shooting lam
bent CLEANS In the moonlight, sprang
for him.
He struck out with the iron, and 1t
slipped from his hand. AS it fell it
struck the rail and rang out loud upon
the still air. This was SO unusual a
sound to the wolves that they turned
tail and ran. But they only went a few
yards when they stopped and howled.
Seeing that they were unhurt, they
, 1903-07-01

again took up the trail. When they
got too near Tanquary would strike
the rail with his angle iron, and again
they would retreat. He could see
ahead of him the hulk of his station
silhouetted against the moo He
made a squirt for it, and the wolves,
seeing him flee, took up the pursuit
with vigor and without fear.
The pack had just closed up and
were about to seize him when he
reached the house, opened the door
and sprang within. He fell up against
the wall in III agony of painting con-
WILSON'S, while the wolves without
leaped bowling against the barred
door.
When Tanquary recovered his wind
he spent the rest of the night potting
wolves from the window.

Romance OF the Klondike.

William Ogilvie. former governor Of
the British Klondike, was married a
few days ago in Texas to Miss o. p.
Richardson. a young American girl.
The meeting of the two a couple Of
years ago was most unusual. The two
were passengers on "a boat bound from
San Francisco to st. Michael's.
At the point of Decentralization Miss
Richardson and Governor Ogilvie went
ashore, or attempted to, in the same
boat. The boat was upset in the heavy,
surf, and its occupants were thrown
into the icy water. Governor Ogilvie
seized Miss Richardson and held her
head above water until another small
boat from the steamer rescued them.
