A Very LARGE Mine.

There was once in Cripple Creek an
odd character named Burns. He was
an odd person who always no matter
what his work, wore what used to be
called a prince Albert" He struck a
rich vein of ore and named that the
Prince Albert Being of a generous
and convivial disposition, this lucky
fellow was. of course. surrounded by
many self seeking friends. When ne
and they were in their cups some of
them, with an eye to the main chance,
managed to wheedle out of Burns on
one preteXt or another a deed of a
share in his mine. With royal prodi-
gality he scattered deeds about among
his retainers and camp followers until
finally something had to be done, and
the case was taken into court. One of
the lawyers had Burns on the stand.
"Now, Mr. Burns" said the lawyer.
will you please tell the court how you
can explain your conduct? The evil
dence shows that you have decided
away Twenty-Five twenty-fourths of
your mine. What have you to say to
that?' 'Well, sir" replied the witness,
"you must remember, sir. that the
Prince Albert is a very large mine"

What Is to Come.

What is to come we know not, but we
know
That what has been was good-was good
to show,
Better to hide and best of all to bear.
We are the masters of the days that were.
We have lived, we have loved, we have
suffered even so.
Shall we not take the ebb who had the
flow?
Life was our friend now if it be our foe,
Dear, though it spoil and break us, need
we care
What is to come?
Let the great winds their worst and Wild
est blow,
Or the cold weather round us mellow
Slow
We have fulfilled ourselves. and we car
dare
And we can conquer, though we may not
share
In the rich quiet of the afterglow
What is to come.

Attorney William r. Day, Jr, his son,

He looms even among six footers.
Attorney Day went to Washington to
make his appearance before the august
body of which his father is member.
He strobe into the courtroom to the
accompaniment of tinllling chandeliers
and after due preliminaries launched
into his argument. The court listened
gravely and impassively, meanwhile
cycling the magnificent proportions of
the advocate.
Justice Holmes wrote Oh IA piece of
paper as if noting a point for future
consideration. Presently the paper

How to Keep Cut Flowers Fresh For
Two Days.
Many people find that they cannot
wear cut flowers even for one after
noon, because in some cases the body
heat seems to wilt them. But if this
can be avoided it is quite possible to
find bunch almost as fresh the Sec
ond day as the first if they are prop
erly guarded overnight Keep the box
that they came in, and when you take
them off hold the stems under running
water for a few minutes, taking care
not to wet the flowers themselves.
Then wrap them up in oiled paper and
put them in the refrigerator or in
covered box outside near the window.
This treatment seems to restore the
flowers and hold in the delicious odor,
which so soon becomes musty and rank
if they are kept unwrapped in a close
room.
Some people think pinch of salt in
the water will keep cut flowers fresh
longer, and so it does in some cases.
In others it seems to change the colors
little. With roses it is successful,
but not so much with violets. A piece
of gum camphor is said to be an ex-
cellent preservative in the water. and
Others advocate small lump of char
coal. But in any case the water should
be changed daily and the flowers put
in cool place overnight.

Those boys are right. I've been too

for Dockery's except from me, and if
I'm going to furnish 3 cent soap
that he sells wholesale for 60 cents,
I'm going to be in on the profits. Any
