down into a little valley. 1t was
a beautiful spot, always full of
the mellowest sunshine and the
prettiest flowers. When the boys
had knocked off work for the day
they all descended into the place,
for what reason no one knew,
but by sort of common consent.
In the center of the valley the
earth had been heaped up like a
graver. At its head was a board,
and at its foot a wild rose bush.
On the board Elder Graves had
cut with his knife:


JACK BULLET,


AGED FORTY.


Men may not have given him


a chance,


BUT GOD WILL.


Three weeks more went by, and
one evening Jack Bullet came into
Joe Whites Dream, alive and
we'll. He stood on the little
square in the center Of the town,
and he said not d word till the
wondering men had gathered a.
bout him. Then he pointed to
the grave in the valley, his eyes
filled with tears, aud he choking
ly said:


Boys, 1 sneaked back here
this morning TO kill some one in
revenge, but 1 cum across that
that grave down thar, and
and--l"


He held out his hands to the
men and the tears blinded him SO
that he could not see face. El.
der Graves went down on his
knees again, every man with him,
and there were more tears and
prayer so heautiful and tender
that Jack Bullet sobbed like
a child. His heart was broken,
and all the Satan in his nature was
driven out in a moment. Joe
Whites Dream was mining camp
for many months after that, and
Jack Bullet wes one of the
best men in it. The headboard
grew gray as the rain heat down
and the sun shone and the wild |
rose grew till it covered all the
grave, but no one distul bed sod. |
The grave was a sigma beacon

During our nine years. residence in
Iowa 1t was our practice to buy (about
the first week of June), butter suffi-
cient to last q year. My wife would
pack 1t in stone jars with little brine
on top of tire butter. The bottom of our
cellar was gravel, and L used to set
them down in the gravel so that the
top of the jars was but little above the
cellar bottom, and we n ever had jar
of poor butter. One spring we had a
jar left over, and sold 1t to the same
merchant I bought it Of-buying at
fifteen and selling at thirty cents. And
one season we summered over a sur
plus jar, and used it the second winter,
In February and March, and 1t was
good. The fact that summer butter
has been kept fresh and sweet for win
ter use is positive proof that 1t can be
SO kept. The four essentials are 1t
must be well made. 1t must be salted


with pure salt. 1t must be so packed
as to entirely exclude the air. 1t must
be kept at low temperature. If any
one of these four conditions are want
ing, your butter will not keep. Yet,
after all, 1 believe the best way to keep
summer butter for winter use is to
keep 1t in the grasses and grains you
provide for your dairy stock, until near
the time you wish to market it. Kept
in this way it will never become

Fatal Accident.


Yesterday morning about 7.3O O'Clock, a
sad and fatal accident occurred at the
Jackson & Sharp Co.'S works in which
Robert King, aged about 45 years, residing
Of Pine street above Second, lost bis life.


The circumstances of his death are about
as follows: Immediately after the engine
had been started be went to oil the shaft
ing situated underneath the floor of the
ship-yard mill. and at the time he had on
long coat, and 1t is supposed from the
position that he was found in, that after
oiling one side he attempted to crawl under
meath the machinery, and in doing SO his
coat caught in the beam, and he was hurled
against the floor with such great violence
that death was instantaneous. The noise
caused by bis body being hurled against the
floor was heard by several of the employees,
and they thinking all WAS not right, in
formed the engineer who stopped the
engine and proceeded to investigate the
cause. Upon reaching the place where
the noise was heard, he found the unfortu-
nate man hanging by his coat to one of the
beams completely dead. Death must have
been instantaneous, as tile body was CON-
pletely mashed and every bone in it broken.
The unfortunate man was taken to bis
home, where an inquest was held, the jury
rendering verdict in accordance with the
above facts.


He leaves wife and two children. This
is the first fatal accident that has occurred
at these works since they have been in
existence.

DIABOLICAL OULRAGE


Tho Abduction Of Ltsele Girl IN PAsla-


de!phts.


Although justice is meted out to those
beasts who dare to violate the chastity of
children, and though the sound of the
verdict of guilty has not died away In the
case of old 1shmael Jones, yet we are called
upon to record another case which happened
sometime last night. The neighborhood of
Front and Dana sts., Philadelphia, was con-
slderably alarmed on Thursday evening, by
the announcement of the fact, that Julia
Ann Hockey, aged FIVE years and seven
months, residing with her parents, No. 141
Dana street, had been missing for some
time. Hour after hour flew away and there
came no tidings of the lost one, and
sleepless night was spent In the belief that
every moment would bring some news At
last news did come, and 1t was in shape
that made the parents frantic-their child
had been abducted and taken to brick
yard, where she had been violated and then
left todie. Subsequent facts will show that
though the violation had not succeeded,
there was sufficient evidence to show that
there had been an attempt. Now for the
facts. This morning Charles Miller, foreman
IN Derbyshire's brick yard, at Remington
and Allegheny avenues, while sitting in
the office heard the cries, means and sobs of
child, and It being an unusual occurrence
in that locality, he went into the yard and
there bsheld horrible sight-a little girl
lying in wet place covered with mud from
head to foot. He picked up the exhausted
and almost stifened form and carried It into
the Office. sl .. ..0-'


He then summoned Policeman Sergeant
of the 24th district, who procuring q car
riage, took her to the Central Station, and
from there to the Pennsylvania Hospital.
In the meantime she had sufficiently recov-
cred to narrate some facts. She stated that
on Thursday afternoon about o'clock she
left her home, and while standing at the
end ofthe alley, was accosted by a man
dressed in gray suit, who, by promises of
candies and pennies, induced her to go TO
Noble street wharf. From there he took
her to some place where there were wild
animals on exhibition. He then walked to
the brickyard where she was found. He
wanted her to 60 in and she resisted. He
picked her up and slapped her in the face,
the welts being plainly discernable this
this morning. He took her to wet place
and laying her on the ground, proceeded
to take Of her clothes, Then he removed
a portion of bis own clothing. She cried
bitterly and tried to get away from him, but
he slapped and beat her and exhausted her
to such an extent that 1t is evident she
swooned as she remembers nothing until
found by Mr.. Miller. The scoundrel evil
dently thought she was dead and left with
out accomplishing his hellish purpose. At
the hospital the physicians made critical
examination of the little thing, but could
find no evidence of internal injuries. Her
face was swollen and abrased, and her
knees were also cut. This latter injury,
little Julia thinks was caused by the fend
biting her In his frenzy. Chief of Police
Jsnes took her statement, and has set
about capturing the scoundrel.

reigns no longer. Young children step

Happiness is always found If sought in

Church-going people are not always
