HE SAWED THE WOOD.
Old Veteran Won His Bet In Spite Of
His Natural Handicaps,

The other day in the blacksmith,

the Twelve N. II. volunteers, who
lost a leg at Gettysburg, and Samuel

First JeweIry Store.

1t may interest women to know that
the first jewelry store was started in
the city of Chang On about 5000 years
ago. The Celestial Vanderbilts and
Astors of that period knew nothing
of the fascination of diamonds, be-
cause diamonds were not in vogue at
that B. C. period.
Pearls and jade and coral and other
unpublished mineral substances had
to content them. and as if to make
good the glitter of rivieres and tiaras,
the princesses of Chang On employed
artisans to fashion them the most
wonderful gold and silver ornaments,
which in themselves were far more
costly than diamonds.

of his experience with timber wolves
during his trip.
1t was Mahoney's custom to leave
the box containing Humes' body on
the trail while he and his dogs each
night entered the nearby timber to
build a fire and sleep. AS the sun
was setting one evening they heard
the bowls of a large pack of wolves,
which gradually closed in around
them. Hauling the body into the tim.
Der, Mahoney built a fire. His dogs,
frightened and nervous, crept between
the sled and the fire.
Whenever the fire got low the
wolves came closer. Mahoney's fight
was largely against his own sleepi.
ness. For safety he tied a burning
pine knot TO his arm and when 1t
burned close enough to hurt he would
get up and replenish the fire. He was
compelled thus to torture himself
three successive nights. On the last
night in particular the wolves we're

derstand that by another night their

company until Valdez was reached.

Railways Unlaue Record.

The Highland railway in one re-
spect occupies a unique position in
British railway history. Although the
first portion Of the system was ircor-
porated so long ago as 1856, not a
single passenger was killed until 1894.
The first portion was opened in 1858,
so that for a period of thirtysi years
not a solitary person lost his life in
life in a train accident, and although
over 10 years have elasped since the
fatality and many millions Of passen'
gers have during the period travelled
over the system the total of fatal sin
accidents to passengers yet remains
at one.
