MINER HICKS RECEIVES oFFEns
FROM ADMIRING WOMEN AND
THEATRICAL MANAGERS.

BAKERSvILLE, Cal, Dec. 81. =
Lindsay Hicks. the miner rescued
from his 16 day tomb under Granhe
Mountain, is having the most difficalt
problem Of his life to solve. It Is
whether he shall accept one Of the
various theatrical offers made TO hin
or heed the call of cupid and sink inu
obscu1tty as mere married man.
For all the offers made TO HicEs
have not come from persons who dc.
sire him TO display himself as Il cw
oslty. He has received a score Or
more proposals of marriage, Some Of
the writer's declare they have such
means that he will be able to live well
the balance Of his life. Pictures OF
the fair candidates for the place h
his affections have accompanied sep.
eral OF the Offers.
If Hicks does yield 10 Cupid It will
be notable victory for the archer
for good, as there are enough theaul,
cal agents camped on his trail hen
to make escape from them a difficult
matter. One vaudeville firm has 81.
fcred the miner $1,000 week, OH
err liberal offers have been placed b.
fore him.
For the present Hicks is putting all
offers aside. He wants to get ibis
health fully back before he undertake,
any contracts. If Cupid wins he viii
probably retire from the spot ligh
permanently.
Christmas was a merry occasion for
the released miner He was the cues

Decline Of Rural Populations.

Twenty-one of the sixty-one counties
of New York had fewer inhabitants by
the census of 1900 than they had by
the census CT 1890. These counties,
which include one-half of the area of
the state showing a falling off in ten
years ranging from a few hundred of
inhabitants in some small counties to
several thousand in some of the larger
ones.
Essex county in northern New York,
for instance, declined from $4,000 to
80, 200 in the ten years. Wayne
county, in western New York, famous
for apples and mint, declined from
49, 700 to ASSOC.
In fifteen years the population Of
New York has increased twenty-one
per cent, yet one-third of the counties
have fewer inhabitants than they had
fifteen years ago.-New York Sun.

Treating Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine,
one from dyspepsia, another from heart
disease, another from liver or kidney
disease, another from nervous exhaustion
or pr~ostration, another with pain here and
there, and In this way they all present
alike to themselves and their e~asy-going
and Indifferent, or over-busy doctor, sep
arate and distinct diseases, for which he.
assuming them to be such, prescribes his
pills and potions. In reality, they are oil
only symptoms caused by some uterine
disease. The physician, ignorant Of the
cause OF suffering, encourages this prac-
tice until large bills are made. The suf-
fering patient gets no better, but probably
worse, by reason Of the delay, wrong

The Irish Sentry.

An Irish soldier on sentry duty had
orders to allow no one to smoke near
his post. An officer with a lighted ci.
gar approached, whereupon Pat bold
ly challenged him, and ordered him to
put 1t out at once The officer with
an air of disgust threw away his eli.
gar, but no sooner was his back turned
than Pat picked it up and quietly re-
tired to the sentry box.
The officer happening to look
around observed a beautiful cloud OF
smoke issuing from the box. He at
once challenged Pat for smoking on
duty.

Oreanist's Note Went Astray.

This is n true story OF a lady
organist in a church not a thousand
miles from Tilton, New Hampshire:
On going into church one morning
she noticed that a new minister, u
stranger, was in the pulpit. Previous
to this she had had considerable trou.
BILE because the blowboy would let the
wind out of the organ when she needed
1t most. So she wrote a note, saying:
BLOW, blow hard; blow all the time
until l tell you to STOP" and calling the
blowboy, gave it TO him.
The boy, supposing the note was
meant for the minister, without open.
ing or reading it, carried 1t to the
pulpit. The minister's surprise and
the organist's confusion in conse.
quence were about equal.-Boston
Herald.
