CALLER LEFT IN A HUFF.
Innocent Thought of Business Man
That Gave Serious Offense.

Two business men had been talking
good naturedly the other day. Their
conversation had reviewed a number OF
things, and remark made by the pro-
prietor as his caller was leaving
brought up the subject of prosperity
in a rather awkward way.
Business with me has been little
dull of late. I've had only few call
ers," he remarked.
The friend smilingly rejoined:
You'll have enough of them in 9
short time-prosperity's coming right
along. Why" he added, emphatically,
'the next time / drop around, instead
of being able to chat with you for half
an hour, there'll be so many people
ahead of me that It'll take me two
hours to get to you-maybe | can't
see you at ALL"
II hope So" rejoined the proprietor,
cheering up over the prospects of re.
newed business activity.
His caller literally "stormed" out OF
the Office, leaving his erstwhile host
in state of bewilderment as to what
had happened.

Donald found it all quite magical.
He had purposed returning home
to Denver In the autumn, but Sumpter
having offered him an interest in the
mine, should they succeed in striking
quartz, he concluded to remain at
least until Christmas. Donald's ia
ther, knowing the value of practical
experience, thought it quite as we'll
that his son should stay and rough it
for awhile
There were deer and bear and
mountain grouse in that lifted, broken
region, but the two young fellows had
little time for hunting them, being
intent on driving the tunnel as rap
idly and with as little delay and ex-
pense as possible. Sumpter had built
a cabin close against the base of a
perpendicular wall of rock at the side
of the canyon in WHICH his CLAIM lay

Towards Christmas the young min
ers began to grow a bit lonesome and
restless; they especially grew weary
of ham and timed meats and longed
for venison, bear, beef, or almost any
sort of flesh food that was fresh.
Snow was heavy on the mountains
and they could get about but little
save upon snowshoes. Donald wished
very ardently that he might go home
that to leave Sumpter in that white,
lonely world would be selfish and
cowardly, so he remained.
Christmas morning Donald put on
his snowshoes and, tiinging Sumpter's s
rife across his shoulder, he declared
he was going to look for fresh meat.
His uncle laughed at him but the
hardy Scotch youth was resolute.
AN old hunter" he said, told me
at the hotel down in Ward, the last
time l was down, that a lot of deer
wintered in the big thickets just
back of us here; he said they were
hard to get at but he'd found them

Sumpter assented reluctantly, caution

long out of college, while Donald was

often more strikingly exemplified than
in the following anecdote of a Vir-

earnestly for some moments, then elec-

qualified praise: "Marse Garrett, dat's

OVER A HUNDRED LOST
The Vessel Laden With Arab Pilgrims and Europeans and a Cargo of Naptha Burned Just Off the Shore of the Island of Malta.

Valctta, Malta, Nov. 25.-The British passenger steamer Sardinia of the FL lerman line, was destroyed by tire just outside of this port today and a total of 123 persons were either drowned or burned to death. Seventy persons were rescued. The dead include 100 Arabs, five Europeans and eighteen members of the crew. Most of the people on board were pilgrims.
 Assistance was hurried to the burn ing vessel from all the warships in the harbOr and from the shore, but the work of rescue was greatly imped- ed by the heavy sea The flames spread rapidly and were fed by streams of naptha from the forehead. There was a condition of panic on board and those who did not jump into the sea were roasted to death. The vessel was finally driven ashore on the Recasoli rocks and the grounding was followed by a succession of volcanic like eX- plosions, indicating the explosion of the naptha stored in her hold.
 The ships boats were rendered use less by the flames and no attempt was made to get them over the sides. Soon the matches were blown off with loud explosions, throwing Arabs into the air and killing and injuring many of them.
