How the Mine was Named.

Up in the Black Hills of South Da-

This Is the way it came to be chris
tened.
A prospector and his wife were one
day strolling over the hills on little
excursion. In stepping from one rock
to another the man Glanced to dislodge
q bit Of stone. AS he picked up the
Clipped rock to toss it away his eye
fell on q little thread Of yellow. It
was gold
! When the mine had been staked out
and the claim filed at the land office,
the question of name was raised.
His wife asked him to call it after
her.
The man smiled sweetly.
ut is just as you say; the mine shall
be named In your honor"
And from that day to this one Of
the richest gold mines in the Middle
West goes by the endearing name Of

The Bible and the Empire State Ex
nreRS.

A Bible student has recently been fig
nring on how long 1t would have taken
the people to make the journey from Dan
to Beersheba if they could have had the
benefit in the olden times of the Empire
State Express. He figured that the train
would have made this journey in less
than three hours, although from a read
ing of the account in the Bible one would
think it was long journey, and it was
for those days with their limited means
of transportation. Ezekiel, the Chaldean
prophet, had in his minds eye something
like the Empire State Express when he
uttered the words recorded in the first
chapter of his prophecy. Look this up
and see If you do not agree with the
idea.-From the Troy Daily Times.
