She was depOrted in the same ship in which she had come over, but she did not work her passage The gov ernmcnt attended to that
 One night while was on duty I saw a woman's figure come up a compan- ionway and make a dash for the gun vale She was half over when caught her and dragged her back. She was Gretchen.
 I placed her in a deck chair and questioned her. I learned that she had lived in the German province from which l had come. I secured a prom ise that she would make no further attempt on her life. I also got some better clothes for her and a berth in the second cabin. On the day we reached Hamburg l was leaning over the rail of the bridge, looking down at some second class passengers on their deck watching for land. Suddenly my eyes met those of Gretchen. Decently dressed, much of the color back in her cheeks, the look of suffering faded from her eye, she was again some thing of the beauty had met as a stowaway. For the first time since that meeting she smiled at me.
 My life is different now from what 1t was before this episode. Then when ashore I grew tired of idleness and myself and was glad to get back to sea. Now I have a cottage near Ham, burg and when coming into port can see figure standing before it throwing me kisses. It is Gretchen, my wife. and the mother of my children.

The Pathos Went Wronu.

Irving Bacheller, the novelist, is of unusually agreeable appearance and address. Once when he was a reporter on New York morning newspaper the Sunday editor sad to him:
 q want you to write me a good story about the trials and discourage ments of men who are looking for work in a big city. Get up early to- morrow put on some old clothes and visit all the places that advertise for male help in the morning paper. Give an account of the number of applicants and the kind of men they are, and de- scribe vividly the feelings of a poor devil who, perhaps, has had no break fast and has walked miles because he hasn't got carfare, and then meets dis appointment after disappointment. Draw it good and strong on the pathos. People like to read that sort of thing"
 At noon the next day MT. Bacheller appeared at the office crestfallen.
 I'm afraid I cant make anything out of that story" he said, to the Sun- day editor.
 Whats the trouble?'
 I've got three jobs already and promise of two more"

The Road Angel.

"The road hog" said motorist, "is the man who scorches on frequented highways, who kills chickens and dogs gleefully, who stays human beings and then makes off. The road angel-"
 He paused. He could not think of words sufficiently laudatory of the road angel. At length he said:
 That rare, but increasing type, the road angel, may be told infallibly by one sign. The road angel slows down so that the dust of his great car may not annoy the passing pedestrian. And what blessings are rained on his head. The pedestrian sees the oncoming car in its swirl of dust. He shrinks as far away as possible. He turns his head aside and puts his handkerchief over his mouth and nose. And To, with a gracious smile, the road angel slows down, he passes the pedestrian with no more dust than a bicycle would make.

Nice Work for Hubby.

"I was calling on a friend today" asd woman, when she showed me some beautifully embroidered pillow tops The work on one of them was particularly fine. It represented a bunch of roses and each flower was shaded. When I had admired the diff. ferent pieces my friend said Who do you think did that?'
 Why I answered, your daughter, I suppose
 No, she said, it's my husband. He is not fond of reading and when he finishes his newspaper in the even. ing he takes up embroidery to pass the time"

The Malacca Wildcats.

Tn the forests of Malacca and other islands in the Indian ocean may still be found the animal known as a wild. cat. The upper parts of it are gen. erally of a clear yellow color, with black spots; the lower parts are white, with black spots also. On the back the spots lengthen almost into lines or rings, black on yellow.
 The average length of the animal, excluding the tail, is almost two feet; the tail averages nine inches. It's height when standing erect is about 12 inches at the shoulder and 15 inches at the hindquarters. Its temper is mild and gentle; it plays almost like domestic cat, or, rather, kitten, chasing it's tail and amusing itself with anything that 1t can roll with its paws.

SETTING HER MIND AT EASE.
Landlords Endeavors to Reassure His
 Fair Guest

She was the wife of an army officer on her way to western fort, and when stop was made at the tavern in a pioneer town for the night she looked about on the rough characters and asked the landlord if there was trouble.
 Not bit of it. ma 'am," he smiling ly replied. Everything is all serene and will continer right on. There's a duffer in town who says he can make me eat dirt, but I hain't goin to tell him to try it on till you git gone. know what belongs to manners"
 Thanks, ever so much
 The lady had finished supper and was on her way to her room when the host halted her to say:
 "A galoot named Jim Wheeler has just sent me word that he can break me in two, and he will be here in ten I lit on to him?"
 But there'd be fight" she queried
 Yes, powerful fight"
 Then 1 hope you won't"
 "All right, ma am-all right. I've allus been a gentleman and allus hope to be-"
 She thought she had seen the last of the landlord for the night, but she hadn't. An hour later he knocked at her door and anXiously said
 "Thar's wall-eyed heathen out yere what needs shooting. but won't do it tonight on account of you. I'd like to ax you, however, if might take three drinks at my own bar?"
 But you might get drunk"
 Not at all, ma am. I know my man. ners better'n that I'll just jump on my hat and hoot, and if have to put knife in critters ribs I'll do it so softly you won't hear word. I'm a gentleman and you are lady, and if necessary I'll kill five or six galoots between this and daylight to make 'em believe it!'-Kansas City Journal.

a large tract of land to the produc

ity OF being able to irrigate the

would make possible series Of

The primary law was originally

that the election Of judges, county

should be the first to show that
they are going to support the spirit
Of the primary law and vote for the
best man regardless of politics. In
connection with this, no man

/ notice with interest Laynlan's
article in a recent MINER in re-
gard to diking, draining and irri-
CATION of Calispel valley.
1t seems to me that there is
something good in all the plans. l
should not think there would be
any need Of making two or more
separate districts of the valley for
the purposes in view, nor would |
deem the matter so expensive that
100000 of bond would be neces-
sary for its accomplishment, if
ehhse bonds were sold at par
A large amount of the work
could be done by the farmers them
selves. If they cared to take stock
in the enterprise, such stock in
lieu of dividends would be of per-
manent benefit in the increased
productiveness of land-and Sc
curity Of crops. =
A. general plan should include
the building of two irrigation
canals, to intercept. the waters OF
Calispel, Winchester, Tacoma and
S1nall's creeks, where these creeks
and lesser springs and streams de-
bouch from the foothills. These
canals should be OF such capacity
throughout their length as to be
able to carry and wash all storm
water at the spring rise Into the
Pend Oreille river. One of these
canals should take. water from the
Calispel creek around the south
erly edge of the valley and wash
.nto the river at or near the mouth
Of Davis creek. The other canal
should begin at Calispel creek and
taking the waters of Small's, Win
chester and Tacoma creeks should
continue in a northerly course
along the foothills till the valley
narrows 80 much as to make it not
worth while to continue it further
for irrigation purposes, and then
should waste into the Pend Oreille.
To keep the Pend Oreille river
out, the natural dixie spoken of by
Layman should be brought to the
common level in all low places or
even increase in height. The
mouthso all streams should be
furnished with dams, except the Cal
ispel, which as Layman assures
us, is q navigable stream. This
could receive a double lock gate,
