had made no attempt at improvement. When
the hut was searched at the time Of his
death all there was there in the shape OF
provisions was a handful of oatmeal and
an egg.
Communication was established with a
sister in Chicago, her address being found
in letter among his effects, and through
them his family. from whom he had been
estranged for years, was located in Eng

the estate, and the place was today sold to

Gold Production in 1906.

The worlds production OF gold for
1906 was eS1, 100000. In 1905 the
figures stood at 975,427,000. The
production of gold has been rising
year by year since 1900. Before that
there was a brief intermission in the
expansion, which began after 1888,
namely, during the period OF the
South African war, which checker
the product of the Transvaal. In
1899 the yield was GG1,345,G0O. The
next year 1t fell to e50,915,000; and
then, in 1901, it rose again, but only
to e52,19S,O00. So far the London
Statist.
The figures of the director Of the
mint show that the highest annual
average production after the discov-
cry of gold in California was $134.-
oS3, 900 during the period in 1856
1860. Thereafter the yield fell of
until the lowest annual average was
reached in 15S1-1SS5, registering
s99,116,000. The leap upward since
then is astonishing. In the period
from 1896 to 1900 the annual aver
age is 1901 goo, and in the period
from 1901 to and including 1905 1t is
1922, ,061, 900. A few years ago it
was figured as a marvel that the
world should bring into sight $1,000
900 of new gold for every day in
the year.

Fight on, my SOIL, till death
Well, the long and short of 1t was
that "Old Sledge" whipped him and
humbled him to the ground and theL
lifted him up and helped to restore
him, and begged thousand pardons
When Devil Bill had retired to his
house and was being cared for by his
wife, "Old Sledge" mounted box In
| front of the grocery and preached
| Righteousness and temperance and
judgment to come to that people.
He closed his solemn discourse with
brief history of his own sinful life
before his conversion and his hum
BILE work for the Lord ever since, and
think-"Stop, poor sinner, stop and
think" he cried in alarming tones.
There were few men and many
women In that crowd whose eyes, long
unused to the melting mood, dropped
tears Of repentance at the preachers
kind and tender exhortation. Bill
Jones's wife, POOR woman, had crept
humbly into the outskirts of the crowd,
for she had long treasured the rem
ories Of her childhood, when she, too,
had gone with her good mother to
hear preaching. In secret she had
pined and lamented her husbands ha-
tired for religion and for preachers.
After she had washed the blood from
his swollen face and dressed his wounds
she asked him II she might go down
and hear the preacher. For a minute
he was silent and seemed to be dumb
with amazement. He had never been
whipped before and had suddenly lost
confidence in himself and his infidel-
ity.
GO long, Sally" he answered, "if
he can talk like he can fight and sing,
maybe the Lord did send him. It's all
mighty strange to me-" he groaned in
anguish. His animosity seemed to
have changed into an anxious won
dering curiosity, and after Sally had
gone he left his bed and drew near
to the window where he could hear.
"Old Sledge" made an earnest, soul
reaching prayer, and his pleading with
the Lord for Bill Jones's salvation and
that of mis- wife and children reached
the window where Bill was sitting and
he heard it. His wife returned in tears
and took a seat beside him, and
sobbed her hearts distress, but said
nothing.
Bill bore 1t for while in thoughtful;
cileppe and tban puttino bic bruicad
and trembling hand in hers, said
Sally, if the Lord sent old Sledge'
here, and may be he did reckon you
had better look after his horse" And
sure enough "Old Sledge" stayed there
that night and held family prayer, and
the next day he preached from the
piazza to great multitude and sang
his favorite hymn:
Am I soldier of the Cross?
And when he got to the third verse
his untutored but musical voice seemed
to be lifted little higher as he sang:
Sure must fight If would reign,
Increase my courage, Lord.
Devil Bill was converted and be-
came changed man. He Joined the
church and closed his grocery and
helped to build a meeting house, and
1t was always said and believed that
"Old Sledge" mauled the grace into his
unbelieving soul, and 1t never would
have got in any other way-Bill Arp
