Too Beautiful.

A man and his wife went to one Of
the most beautiful islands in the
Caribbean sea seven years ago to spend
the twilight of their lives in the Sc
rene beauty Of the tropics. 1t was a
place which the husband, a seafaring
man, had chosen as the nearest ap-
proach to terrestrial paradise for those
who have enough money to live with
out working hard.
The couple landed in New York the
other day with their lares and penates
and parrot. The ideal season is just
about to begin in the Caribbean, but
it will start and continue without this
particular pair Of humans. 1--WE want
an old-fashioned New England win.

SAVED FOR JOYFUL REUNION
Idaho Miner, Two Weeks Buried, 10
Brought to the Surface to Wei.
come New.B Born Baby.

Mullan, Idaho.-While Emil Sayko,
miner, was buried 60 feet in the Gold
Hunter mine, near Occur d'Alene. he
became the father of a baby girl.
Sayko was released alive from his uh-
derground prison after more than two
weeks confinement, along with fel-
low worker, Pete Grant
Hope for the rescue Of the two men
was given up on the fourth day after
the cave-in at the mine, the belief be-
Ing that both men were dead. 1t could
not be conceived that the men were
alive and we'll.
It SO CHANGED that the cave-in did
not catch the men during the slide of
the earth, but merely filed the aper-
ture to the surface. A spacious under
ground cave, to which air found it's
way from a small crevice in another
part Of the mine, served to save the
mems lives.
A four-inch diamond drill aperture
was bored into the 6O-foot-deep cave
and gave the men better air. Food
was let down to them as we'll as blan-
kets.
Mrs. Emil Sayko, on the day of the
cave-in, was confined to the Occur
d'Alene hospital and there became the
mother Of little girl. She believed at
the time Of the child's birth that it's
father was dead.
The joyful reunion Of husband and
wife and the meeting of father and
baby girl, as one from the world of
the dead, brought tears to the eyes of
the hardy miners who gathered about
the mines mouth when the sturdy dig
gers were brought safely to the sur
face.
