a Race Against Tide.

Grace Ellison and her three little
cousins had been gathering mountain
laurel and had walked farther than they
realized. Now they were all tired and
the path back over the mountain looked
steep and difficult. At its foot rippled
the waters of the Hudson river. Just
now the tide was low. There was a. tiny
strip of rocky beach around the cliff
and beyond the mountain was the viii
lage where the four girls lived. They
knew that people had walked around the
cliff at low tide, but 1t was said to be
dangerous.
Nan Belden always was attracted by
a spice OF danger.
'I'm going anyway she cried. jump
ing up. You can stay if you are
wen all go if you do answered
BERTHE, soberly, but I think The toe
has turned"
''Nonsenset" cried Nan. But before
they clambered over those ugly rocks
very far they knew she was right. 1t
was too late to go back so they vent
on, scrambling over the huge boulda-s.
The way was longer than they had
thought Every time they rounded a
point there was only another point
ahead. Suddenly Nan cried:
"Oh, my foot's soaked!' A little wave
had splashed over her shoe.
Hurry. girls" said BERTHE. She
caught C4race's arm.
Iney hurried, ScfdIn Ding tn9tF ltSt
soaked with the water that now washed
their ankles, their hands and knees
scraped by the rocks, and the village
not yet in sight.
Suddenly little Elsie screamed as a
high wave knocked her off her feet, and
Nan caught her just in time. They pull
ed her along, and reached the next point
somehow, where they saw the beach
and the village. A few more struggles,
and through water nearly to their
waists, they. reached the beach and we're
safe.
AS they sat GREATNESS on the send,
comforting Elsie. Nan looked down at
their wet skirts and exclaimed:
THAT was the silliest thing we ever
did, -,
And really believe 1t was.

Worth Seeing

Comedies in which are injected the
knockout gymnastics and horse play
of the vaudeville stage have 5een rele-
gated gto oblivion and the tastes Of
amusement. seekers are whetted for
something more substantial and pal
atable. The coming Of Mr.. Edward
r. Salter's newest musical Comique,
entitled "Ikey and Abey" which will
be seen here for the first time at the
opera house on October 25, will be a
welcome sssprise indeed. It is one Of
those bright things that are actually
contagious, and many of the catchy
airs will be whistled long after the
show has left town. A large and
handsomely gowned chorus is one Of
the pleasing features

RICH COPPER DEPOSITS.
Mass of Pure Native Ore Uncovered
 In North Michigan.

From the St. Paul Dispatch.
 An enormous mass of pure native copper is being uncovered at a mine in Ontanagon county. The big chunk lies in the tenth level at point about 1000 feet from one of the princi- pal shafts Several large pieces have already been cut from 1t, and these, with the remainder of the mass so ex. posed, weigh fully twenty tons.
 How much more there is of the big chunk is matter of conjecture, but from all indications the aggregate weight of the mass will be found to run fifty or even more tons. Masses of copper are encountered so regularly that one of several tons excites no comment. It is only when one of un usual size is located that it is deemed worthy of notice.
 Large as this mass will doubtless prove. however, it will be pygmy compared with the famous mass found in the Michigan, then known as the Minnesota, in 1865. This was 121a by 1872 by 45 feet in size and weighed 527 tons It required twenty men working fifteen months with long, handled chisels to cut this mass into pieces small enough for hoisting, and twenty-seven tons of copper chips were made in doing this work.
 Countless small masses, some of which, however, weighed several hun. dred tons, were taken from this mine,
