Claim Nearly Cost Life.

Fred McNulty, Of this city, had
terrible experience while holding down
a claim which he has several miles
east of here. He went to the claim
just before the big blizzard Of last
week. The weather previously had
been mid, and McNulty had no store
of fuel in the shack. The storm was
SO fierce that he could not make his
way home, so he went to bed in order
to keep from freezing to death. For
three days the storm ragged, and Nc
Nulty lay covered up to his ears, with
out a bite to eat and only small
quantity OF water. When at last the
storm subsidized he made his way to a
aeighbor's. a mile distant, freezing his
face and ears wntle en- route. When
ne finally reached Minot he was COM
PEELED to take to his bed as result
Of his experence.-Minot Correspond

NOT LOOKING FOR ADVICE.
"Phln" Had His Own Reasons for
Most Peculiar Action.

Some years ago there lived in the
village of Vienna. Me-, a man by the
name OF Phineas Jones, commonly
known at "Phin." Among other faults,
"Phin" had an unfortunate love for
something more fiery than soda water.
On one occasion he had driven to
Augusta, about 20smiles distant, and
during his day in town had imbibed
more than was good either for his
equanimity or his clearness Of brain.
Returning at nightfall to the livery
stable where he had put up his outfit,
he undertook to harness his own
horse, to the delight Of the stable
boys.
He managed to get the harness on,
after much trouble. but when he un-
dertook to place the horse between
the thills. he led her in with her aston
ished face toward the dasher. One Of
the stable boys, convulsed with laugh
ter, called out:
Here, 'Phin,' hadn't you better turn
your horse 'round?"
"Phin," in no mood to brook inter
ference, faced the boy with maudlin
dignity, and, steadying himself against
the wagon.wheel, replied, solemnly:
Young man (hic). p'raps you don't
know (hic) which way I'm goin'!"
