THE FINAL POSE.
II Made the Thing Harmonious and
Complete All Around.

Complete All Around.
In the early days of travelling by
stagecoach across the Rocky noun
tains the trip was likely to be relieved
OF monotony by incidents OF no ordi-
nary occurrence. But the fatigue Of
the journey was apt to wear upon the
nerves Of the weak and the timid.
Sometimes the passengers became SO
worn out as TO lead to a suspicion OF
their sanity. The Right Rev. ID. S.
futile in his "Reminiscences Of a Mis-
sionary Bishop" describes an instance
in point
One forenoon the coach rolled into
Denver, and the six horses came pranc-
ing up 10 the Office Of Wells, Fargo a.
90. A large crowd was assembled, as
the incoming and the outgoing Of the
daily coaches were the great events
for the town.
At the stop the only passenger quick
ly threw open the coach door, leapeo
10 the ground. ran hurriedly across the
street and, turning a handspring
stood on his head with his heels up
against q supporting wall.
Several men followed him, quite eurs
that here WAS another passenger Graz

Low Expense Operat-
ing in Elk District

The cost Of actual mining in
the Elk City district is not as
high as in other mining dis
tricts in the northwest where
the ore is Of lower grade.
There is abundance Of water
and timber, labor is the same
as IN other places, and sup
plies can be bought as cheaply
IN Elk City as they can be in
any gold district.
A. w. Boyd, lessee Of the
American Eagle mine, who
has operated IN northern Idaho
and British Columbia, says il
costs SO 10 Sll a foot To drive
tunnel and an average Of $50
~ sink shaft.
Ii Is only when milling Is
begun that the expense here
runs higher than Ia other dis
tricts, and that is due 70 the
high cost Of power
The numerous streams offer
great inducements ~ power
companies, which will soon
enter the field, and when that
Time comes, mining in central
Idaho viii be on q safe ano
sure basis

Put IL All on Exhibition TO Make q
Good Impression.
The Norwegians are always trying
TO put the best foot forward, and they
DO it IN reference TO marriage as well
as in reference to other matters.
1t is said that a young man once
went out TO seek a wife and came to
q farmhouse where there was more
wit than money. The only thing Of
which the farmer could boast was one
new sleeve to his coat This must be
made the most Of. pray take a seat"
be said Hospitality. but this room Is
shOckingly dusty" and, so saying, he
went about wiping tables and benches
with his new sleeve, while he kept the
old one behind him.
His wife possessed one new shoe
and one only, but she made the most
OF II by pushing the furniture In place
with It and keeping the other hidden
beneath her skirts. 1T is very nntidy
here" she said. Everything Is out OF
place"
Then they called 10 the daughter 70
come and put things 10 rights. But
the only new thing she possessed waf
a cap. 30 she kept putting her head
IN at the door and nodding and nod
ding.

everywhere at once"
Thus they AL tried 20 make th'
young man believe that the household
was well 20 do.-Detr0it Free Press.

Dandy smiled as he drew out
the sack of gold dust and filled
his pockets with it until he was
fairly weighted. He had laid his
plans well. He glanced up at the
cabin. Another minute, and his
victim would be his.
Every one in the mining camp
knew that, somewhere in the hills
across the ford, hunted man was
prospecting for gold, and that the
girl who came in weekly to ex.
change dust for food knew of his
hiding place. But it was no bust

the girl. "He shall learn that two

Dandy had sworn that he would.
Having filled his pockets with
the boarded gold. he whistled
softly and presently the door was
unbolted. Dandy crept in, the
moose in his hand. The outlaw
was sleeping heavily upon a sack
