Which Netted a Broken and Sick Man a Little Fortune. 1 New York Mall and Express: “Did you ever have a big piece of pure luck when you really needed It badly?” said one who is at present a high rail road official. “I did once, and never again. It happened In Denver in 1882. I was broke. I had just come out of the hospital after a long tussle with pneumonia and I was unable to do manual labor, which was the only thing I could find. One afternoon, when things were at their very worst, 1 was sitting in the old Charpiot hotel and overheard two men talking very secretly about a big strike in some mine. I Inferred from their conversa tion that it was somewhere in the San Juan district, but they didn’t mention the exact location or the name of the property. When they went out I noticed a tiny piece of ore laying on one of the chairs, where it had evi dently been dropped while they were examining some specimens. It was brown quartz, literally full of gold. *tt was ore that made a fellow's heart Jump Just to look at it, and while I was turning it between my fingers it all of a sudden flashed into my mind that it must have come from the Lady Alice. They had taken stuff from it once, but the vein had ’pinched out,’ and the property was supposed to be N. G. Its stock had dropped to noth ing. Of course, it was only a guess,” continued the speaker, “and there were several hundred chances that It wasn't the Alice at all. I did some quick thinking. There was a banker up town who owned a lot of Alice stock, and In two mlnuteB I was on my way to his office. ‘Look here,’ says I, when I finally got into his den, ‘I have in formation worth a lot of money to you; what is it worth to me?’ 'Not a cent down,’ says he, promptly, ‘but 10 per cent if I get It.’ I handed him the piece of ore; it was about as big as the end of my thumb. 'They’ve struck that in the Lady Alice,’ says I. To my sur prise he turned pale as death and yelled for a clerk. ‘Run after Smith!’ he bawled, 'and bring him back with that stock!’ Smith, it turned out, was the messenger, and he was then on bis way to deliver a bundle of Alice stock for which the banker had Just been offered a couple of hundred dollars. He had thought it a good trade until he saw my ore. Smith came back and the banker tried his best to pump me, bnt I wouldn’t tell him any more. If he had known I was only guessing he would have kicked me out, but the fates were with me. The next day the news of the discovery got to the pub lic; it was Alice, sure enough, and the stock went scooting skyward. Mean while the fellows in on the secret had bought up all they could. My banker scooped in a big pot of money and I got (2,500 for my share.” / Whosoever has Buffered from pile knows how painful and troublesome they are.

Mounted m Pilling Log and Mad* the Joarnejr In Safety — A llcnurlnblt Bide on the Baek of Death—Second* Seemed Minute* 9 George D. Williamson, now engaged In mining near Lake City, Col., tells a thrilling story of his experience In a snowsllde In the mountains of Hins dale county. Mr. Williamson and a companion had been to look at a mining claim in which they were Interested and were returning along the trail when they came to a pcrint at which there were evidences of a movement of a heavy mass of snow lying on the mountain side. “I saw that it was liable to move again at any time,” said Mr. William son, "and started back with the remark that It was much as a man's life was worth to attempt to cross the snow that had poured across the trail. From where we stood to the bottom of the gulch was about 1,000 feet, and we could see that the movement of the snow had stopped about fifty feet be i low the trail on which we were stand ing. I thought that by going around the trail carefully we could escape and save ourselves a long trip. I be gan clambering down the rocks on the edge of the slide. When I had reach ed a point near the end of the slide I looked back to where my friend stood at a safe distance and called to him that it was all right. A big dead tree had been brought down by the slide and rested on about three feet of snow packed quite solid. The top of the tree projected about twenty feet be yond the end of the slide. Instead of going around the tree I sprang upon the trunk, intending to leap from it to the ground on the other side. The mo ment I touched the log I knew I was gone. Whether the slide started of its own weight or whether my weight started It I will never know, but in an instant I was flying down the moun tain. As the log began to move 1 dropped and fell astride it, grasping a limb in front of me with both hands I heard the scream of my friend as 1 began to move and then heard nothing more except the terrible roar of an avalanche behind me. There were no trees in the way and the log went as straight as a die down the mountain side, fortunately for me keeping on top of the snow. I don’t know what I thought. There was no time to do much thinking, and all my energy was devoted to the maintenance of my po sition. We passed some dead bushes,the broken twigs from which were dashed *into my face, cutting the skin, and the wind almost stopped my breath. At the bottom of the narrow gulch the tree stopped for an instant, but be fore I could get off the pressure of the snow behind started It again, and it' shot up the side of the opposite hill with but scarcely little diminuatlon of force. "Gradually the avalanche spent its energy, and when the log came to a standstill I was sitting on it, holding the limb tightly more than 200 feet up the mountain side, while behind me the snow, timbers and rocks Ailed the gulch to the level of my position, forming a bridge 150 feet high. The whole thing was over in half a min ute, and except for the scratches on my face I was unhurt. As I shook the snow off and looked around I saw my friend tearing down the mountain on the other side of the gulch with the ex pectation that he would And my man gled body under the debris. Needless to say, he was astonished when he heard of my remarkable ride on the back of Death." Holland’s Young Queen. Queen Wilhelmlna of the Nether lands dislikes to be called “the little queen." She thinks the phrase reflects upon her kingdom, and she is 5 feet 11% inches in height. The queen of Spain is 5 feet 5 2-5 inches; the em press of Russia, 5 feet 2% inches; the empress of Germany and Queen Vic toria, still smaller. Aside from her heigh', the young Dutch queen is also of the best build. Her 21%-inch waist measure and 42-lnch bust gives an a<J mirable proportion. Her powers of endurance were well tested on coro nation day, when for six long hours She wore the ceremonial mantle of red velvet trimmed with ermine, a weight of not less than thirty pounds, and showed no marked symptoms of fa tigue. What Johnnie Wanted to Sing. In one of the schools of Worcester, Mass., the teacher, Intending to relieve the monotony oi 'he regular exercises, asked the uupils ii they would not like to sin ;. Of course there was an in stant ciumor in the affirmative and then the teacher asked what song they would prefer. One little boy, In his eagerness to make the selection, spluttered out something which the teacher did not catch. Turning to the boy across the aisle, she asked what Johnnie said. "Please,” came the un expected answer, “he says he wants to sing ‘His Country, ’Tis of Him.’ ” A Good Plan The landlady looked solemnly in the direction of the delinquent one. "It’s a rule in this house to pay as you go," said she. The delinquent one smiled. “It’s a good plan,” said he; "you get it all in a bunch then—or nothing!”— Syracuse Herald. The Ink Plant.

Changai In th* Text of 8ii»kMi>p»r«’i Great Play. Two tragedies were given by the Japanese players at the Boston theater recently, and the author of both—Ka wakaini—played the baling part In each. Japanese playwrights are cer tainly versatile, and wh«n the amount of physical labor involved In these tra gedies is considered, they cannot be said to be afraid of hard work, says the Boston Herald. The Japanese idea of “The Merchant of Venice,” which the author attempts to show in "Sairoku” and In which he plays the name part, proved hardly as entertaining ns might be expected. It might be called weari some in places, owing to the protracted dialogue and Insufficient pantomime to clearly indicate what the people jwere talking about The main features, of the play are copied,with some chArges. Thus the Jewish miser becomes a Ja panese miserly fisherman, the pound of flesh Is “three square inches,” cut off nearest the heart of the lovt-tof the miser’s daughter, who has borrow ■ ed 3,000 rio under the pledge of flesh forfeiture; and an older daughter is the Portia who becomes the judge and saves the lover’s life. The play ends happily in the repentance of Siroku, though not before the tragic element is devolved In the suicide of the young er daughter. The shorter play that opened the bill and is called “Scarlet Snow” Is based on events following the visit of Commodore Perry 1n Japan in 1853, and the tragic fate of Minister Talro Kamon in consequence of his signing a treaty in opposition to the wishes of the exclusion party. The hand-to-hand fighting that comprises almost the entire second act and that reddens the deep snow with blood gives the name to the play, and is a study of muscular realism on the stage. The play Is given entirely by the men, but In “Siroku” two ladies of the com pany, Sada Yacco and Mikami, give de lightful performances as the two daughters. Many of the blotches, pimples and other affections of the skin and ere caus ed by the failure of the liver and kidneys to cast ofi impurities, whichremain in the system. Herbine will stimulate the liv er and kidneys, and cleanse the system of all impurities. Price. 50 cents. P. C. Corrigan. Hummer Children Are Tell. That children tall for their ages are generally born in the summer Is a novel theory. As far as boys alone are concerned those who first see light during autumn and winter are not so tall aB those born in spring and sum mer. Those born in November are the shortest, in July the tallest. Averages for girls show that those born in win ter and spring have less length of body than those born In summer and autumn. The tallest girls are born In August. _ . We have saved many doctor bills since we began using Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in our home.
