OCCUPATION JUST SUITED HIM.
Man with Crouch Had Chance to Laugh at
@ Others Misfortunes.

''It isn't everybody that gets a place in
life that's just suited to him. said Mr. Ho-
bart, thoughtfully, "but [ declare it seems
as if Jed Loring had landed in the very spot
he'd choose above every other"
II didn't suppose anything would ever
suit jed remarked Mrs. Hobart, "a man
that always thought everybody was better
off than he, and never appeared to enjoy any
thing except other folks misfortunes Where
in the world is he?'
"While [ was visiting Henry's folks" said
Mr.. Hobart "they took me across the ferry
to the island one day. [ thought the face O.
the man that worked the gates looked kind o.
familiar, and he gazed at me real searchingly
as Henry and stood there.
"EArent you Jim Hobart that used to
live in Bushby?' he asked me at last.
"'I am, and still do, says I, and it
just come to me who you are. You re Jed
Loring.
"He nodded that [ was right.
"'Got job that suits you here, guess,
| said, for he's grown stouter and looks con-
siderable cheerfuller than he used to when he
was here in Bushby.

hour all day long, and there's hardly trip
but what somebody misses it, and gets as mad
as fury !''-Youth' s Companion.

Of government for and by the people. There
is a mental stimulus to them all that is very
pleasing. They pulsate with vitality. You are

in the last agony from the city, and, cigar
in his mouth He would stop and look at him
till the attention of the whole crowd would be
fixed upon him. Then he would say: "Huh
thought it was somebody; turned out to be
nothing but roll Of tobacco with chunk
Of fire at one end and fool at the other. Let
us resume our subject"
He was met by quite crowd upon arriving
at Wheat's camp ground, among whom was
one fellow loaded with liquor. He shook
hands with the old man, held on, and kept
repeating, $50 glad to see you, Brother
Danielly. So glad to see YOU Brother
Danielly replied. "Dont know you"
''Why," said the topper, "my name is Blank.
You converted me two years ago." "Ah!"
said Bro. Danielly, CLOCKS like some of my
work If the Lord had converted you, you
would not have been here drunk. -
Over at the Deadfall camp ground a. bril-
liant young man who had been ruined by

sion, while Bro. Danielly was praying for him.
Everybody was delighted, as he belonged to
fine family, was wealthy and clever. He held
out till Christmas and then got drunk and
cut up to make up for lost time.
Next camp meeting he professed to be re-
claimed while Uncle Danielly praying
for him. And so it went for three or four
years.
One night Bro Danielly preached on the
Prodigal Son, and invited all prodigals to
come forward for prayer. Directly he saw
Paul c., making his way forward he imme
diately turned the meeting over to another,
saying he was sick at the stomach. At II
o'clock Paul asked for Bro. Daniely to pray
for him; some one went to the tent, called and
said, "Bro. Danielly, Paul c. says, DO come
and pray for me-. -
The old man said: "Can't come; sick at
the stomach. :"
About midnight some one walked Bro Dan
Jelly up and said: "Paul c. has got through
He is so happy. wants to see you so bad. Do
come"
The old man lost patience and replied;
F'Take an axe and kill him quick before he
backslides''
At Sharon camp ground he went to take
breakfast with lady who was leader Of Tie
bon-ton The coffee was very weak He
drank five or six cups and kept sending for
more. "Why,' said the lady, ''you must be
fond of coffee" Bro. Danielly replied eff

water to get little" She never forgave
him, and he never took a meal with
them again.

MRS. SM|DT CLAIMS
VAST PROPERTY IN
HEART Of HONOLULU

Rocky Mountain News-A claim to
property of enormous value in Homo
lulu, which may ultimately have to be
settled through diplomatic negotiations
between the American and Swedish
governments, is held by Mrs. Mary L.
Smidt, an aged Swedish woman living
in Denver. Mrs. Smidt s claim, if final
ly recovered, will bring her a fortune
estimated at millions of dollars. She
is preparing to leave in a few weeks
for Honolulu, where she will make ev-
cry effort to locate the real estate
which was owned by her husband thir-
ty years ago.
Mrs. Smidt lived until recently at
1907 Walnut street. At present she is
rooming on Blake street between Thir-
ty-sixth and Thirty streets. She
has lived in Denver for years and is
well known among the Swedes in her
neighborhood.
The woman who claims property val
ued at millions is the widow of Charles
Smidt. The couple were born in Swed-
en- and came to America in early life.
Neither one, however, was ever nat
uralized in this country. For that rea-

son Mrs. Smidt is trying to have her
claim looked up by the Swedish gov
eminent.
In 1868 Charles /. Smidt went to
Hawaii. He stayed there until 1880
and acquired a large amount of real
estate in what is now the heart of
Honolulu. Finally he got into some
trouble and left the island, return
ing to Denver. He left his property
in the hands of three friends as trus-
tees. The names of two of the men
were Chamberlain and Park. The name
of the third trustee is unknown.
The management of the property by
the trustees was decidedly unsatisfac-
tory and Smidt made up his mind to
return to Honolulu and take charge
of the property himself. Before he
could make arrangements to go back,
however, he died in the late SOS.
Mrs. Smidt has retained Wayne C.
Williams as attorney and through him
began negotiations with the Swedish
consul in Honolulu, George Rodiek. The
Swedish consul in Denver has also been
consulted. Rodiek wrote he would make
every effort to locate the property.
