There is an old proverb which
states that "he who possesses tur-
quoise will never lack friend" Ger
tainly from time immemorial the tur-
quoise has never ceased to be re-
garded as lucky stone
Amulets are much in favor at the
present moment, and the wearers of
them are by no means only of the
feminine community. They are worn
in all manner of quaint designs. Each
precious stone is supposed to contain
some property peculiar 10 itself 1t
seems hardly credible that people of
common sense should believe in such
things, but true it is that amulets are
at present much in vogue. and, apart
from their superstitions, they are one
of the daintest presents imaginable.
The emerald is credited with n host
of god influences. the crysolite IS a
cure for insomnia. But the luckiest
amulet of all is that containing tur-
quoise, whether by reason of it's true
blue" color or not it is hard to say.

elected to office there. The district is
vote by some two thousand; but the
way it is counted depends on how the
sheep are voted. Last time it went
about 1900 for Peabody, and at the
same time about 900 against Brooks,
who was on the same ticket-that was
the sheep.
Frank has not been political power
so long as Billy. but he has been try
ing to make up by his zeal for the time
lost. He was appointed by Orman-
Adams governor = and at Brother
Alva's instance, member of the Den
yer Fire and Police Board. with espe-
cial charge of the police. 1t is under
his fostering care that the system of
registering and voting dead ones,' of
stufiing ballot boxes, of firing out Re-
publican watchers from polling places
and all the rest of it has been devel-
oped to so high a state of perfection in
Denver.
Between the two-between Billy vot-
ing the sheep, and Frank voting the
ghosts-it is expected that Brother
Alva will get something like ten thou
sand votes counted for him that were
never cast by human beings.
OF course all this is not expected,
or suspected, by Brother Await
would grieve him to know that any
thing wrong should be done on his ac-
count or for his benefit!
1t reminds one Cf the man who was
asked by the minister why he did not
attend church. well, you see, doctor,
my wife attends to the religion in our
family and attend to the business"

HIS PLAn TO GET EVEN.
Town Assessor Was In Position to
Punish Rudeness,

Martin Hobbs was q man Of uncer-
tain temper, but of such Importance
in his native town that the lash of his
tongue was borne with patience by
those to whom he grudgingly minister
ed in his capacities of ice man, plum
ber and janitor Of the town hall.
In the course of his duties as jani.
tor he reduced almost to the verge OF
tears young woman who asked for a
the key of a room in the town hall
where certain records were kept.
Martin knew that she was writing
the history of the town, but he did not
propose to strew her path with roses.
"Lockin' and unlockin'," he grum-
bled, as he began fumbling in his pock-
cts; "putterin' and putterin', fussin'
and fidgetin. and what does it amount
to when all's said and done? Anybody
asst ye to write hist'ry? Who's agoin'
to read it? Here's your key, and
mind you fetch it back, and lay 1t on
that table if L m not here"
The town assessor was at work
where he heard this ungracious ad-
dress and when the young woman re-
turned the key he said. Indignantly:
Martin outdid himself in rudeness
this morning, should say"
"Oh. we'll" said the young historian,
"he felt a little cross, and had to
grumble, that's ALL
Never you mind" said the asses
sor, cheerfully. "Pm going to make
out his tax bill to-day, and shall as
sess him for seven more hens!"-

Longevity in Animals.

Some interesting statistics have re
Gently been published as to the rela-
tive age of the various domestic or
domesticated animals. Among the
larger species there is some uniform
ity. For the horse and the ass the ex-
treme limit is thirty-five years, and
for the horned cattle about thirty. For
the dog it is given at twenty-five. while
sheep. goats. pigs and cats are grouped
at fifteen. But there are stranger dis
PARTIES among the birds. While
goose may live thirty years and q spar
row twenty-five, crow as many as
hundred; ducks, poultry and turkeys
die of old age at twelve. The palm FOR
longevity is divided between the ele-
phant and the parrot, for both pass the
century.

Don't Propose on Sigh. Aeauaintanee

1t is a bad plan for man to ask a
girl to be his wife on very slight ac-
luaintance, and still worse plan for
her to accept him under these circum-
stances. If they keep their heads 1t is
surely not very hard thing for them
to conclude to wait until they know
one another trifie better before they
decide that they are the two persons
out of the whole world who are best
fitted to live each with the other. When
they have made this perfectly clear to
their own minds, and not until then.
should they become engaged, and an
nounce the fact to the world at large;
and. when they are engaged, they
should understand the responsibilities
of their position and not seek to evade
them.-Success.
