How Williams Came
To Go Back East X
Williams of Rhode I si unci was down
on his luck. Ho had been live years In
the gold State, mid had conlldently
looked forward to each succeeding
year's enabling hliu to go back home
nud make things comfortable' for tho
woman and little ones. Rut each sue
cccdlng year had found him precisely
where tho previous oue had, left him
a sanguine prospector, with n wealth of
hope and n pitifully small outfit.
Rut this last find had been different
He had taken out sixty dollars n day
for a week, and with this substantial
evidence of coming prosperity had
written a letter which filled the far
away home with sudden joy. Then tho
vein hnd disappeared, and he had
picked nud shoveled and hauled away
dirt until his money was cxtinusted.
Dut the gold was there, ho was sure of
It; and his conlldenco had induced the
trader nt Three Forks to advance him
funds. However, there hnd been a
shaft to sink, n solid rock to cut
through; and It had all been expensive.
When It was accomplished the money
was gone and there was no vein.
He was still confident; but the trader
was angry, and had accused him of
false pretenses. Only this morning he
had received Intimation that the Sheriff
was about to levy oh his mine on his
Molly, named after the dear one It wan
to do so much for.
Ho was aroused by approaching foot
steps. When ho looked up two men
stood before him. One of them wns the
owner of the adjoining claim; tho other
was tho Sheriff.
"I have come to began tho olll-
cer.
"Yes, yes, I know." Williams of
Rhode Islnud rose heavily to his feet
"It's all right. Just go abend. I can do
nothing."
The sheriff looked nt him curiously.
"Oh, 'tnln't quite so bad us that," ho
laughed. "I did 'low on maklu' n levy;
but Kansns hero has been tcllln' mo
something that has changed my plans.
You needn't bother about the, bill jest
now."
"I s'poso you hecrd 'bout my luck?"
Kansas asked, blandly.
"I've got a pretty vein," Knnsas went
on frankly; "but hit dips to'ard you
tins' land. If thnr's a pocket I 'low
hit's ncrost your lino. I don't s'poso
ye'd be wlllln' to sell out, clean; but If
ye'U go pnrds I'll give ye ton thousand
for a half share." Ho waited n moment,
but as there was no reply, added: "I'll
make It twenty for a clean Job; but of
course ye won't quit?"
Williams of Rhode Island looked
down Into the valley, and up tho moun
tain; and then across to the east, whero
tho sun was Just rising above tho pines.
"Yes, I'll quit," he said, huskily; "you
can buy me out clean. I'm going homo."

FISHING IN THE YELLOWSTONE.
Trout Caught and Dolled In the Barao
Htrcam.
Peoplo returning from tho west fre
quently have some wonderful stories
to relate of how they caught trout in
the Ycllowstono Park and, without
changing their scat, lifted the tlsh out
of tho stream of cold water, over Into
a 'boiling spring, and cooked It with
out removing It from tho hook. These
stories aro all very well In their way,
but when told In tho manner nbovo
outlined one can safely put them down
as yarns without tho slightest foun
dation In fact. To catch a tlsh In a
stream of cold water and UK It over
Into a spring of boiling water Is ono
of the many curious things that are
possible only In the Yellowstone Park,
, but, should tho person so doing at
tempt to uraw tne nun out or tuc uoii
Ing spring tho bead would pull oft
tho thoroughly boiled and perfectly
soft body aud ho would thus loso tho
fish.
Tho most wonderful phenomenon of
this sort In tho Ycllowstono Park Is
ono that has thus far escaped those
who are fond pf telling big fish yarns,
mainly for tho' reason that tho locality
lies outside the beaten track of travel
and visitors nud can only bo reached
after considerable dilllculty. At the
point In question a stream of clear,
cold water flows through tho park,
receiving In Its course the scalding
hot waters of one of tho numerous
boiling springs of that region, 'This
.boiling water, as It reaqhes tho cold
stream, (lows for a considerable dis
tance along'ono bank before the waters
finally mingle and become ono In tem
perature. Into this spring of boiling water, In
sects, bugs, toads, grasshoppers and
the like are continually dropping and
thus losing their lives, and all such
Insects are, as a matter of course,
swept Into the cold-water ,treani. Now
In the cold water of this stream a
number of hungry trout are continual
ly skirmishing along the edge of the
hot water, taking good care not to ven
ture too close, for the purpose of snap
ping up and devouring the Insects
brought down by the hot water and
which happen to float over Into the
cold water, or near enough the border
for the trout to pick them up, so that
It Is possible for a fisherman sitting
on the bank, to catch a trout, with
a hook and line, draw him two feet
from where he took the hook, and
boll him good and done, all In the same
stream, and without even lifting tho
Huh from the water.
The fisherman would, of course, have
to have a scoop net to remove the
boiled trout from tho water, for other
wise the head would pull off, leaving
the body In the water. Rut, barring
this, says the Washington Post, It Is
within tho bounds of truth for out to
say thnt the Yellowstone is the only
place on earth where It Is possible to
cntoh and cook a fish in tho snme
stream.
A FABLE FROM REAL LIFE.
How Author of "Knblcs In BlmiR"
I.huil Ui to Ills Theory.
There is a class of people and they
nro not nil women, either who can
not bo convinced thnt whatever an au
thor writes Isn't autobiographical. If
a man writes n love sonnet, he must
bo In love, n theory which, If carefully
ajpllcd to some of our poets, would
proro that they out-Solomon Solomon.
Such persons are rather vexing, for
one Is sure they would never read
Shakespeare's sonnets If they didn't
believe there wns a woman Involved,
nud they simply glory In tho fact that
poor little David Copperllcld Is Bald to
bo the hoy Dickens himself. To nil
such this story may have Interest.
It Is about a fablo by George Ade,
tho past-master of slang. Tho fable
tells of two men, the one who wouldn't
learn boLsny, but got out and Dug for
the Rocks, or something of that sort;
tho other who said, "Nay, nay, a cul
tured mind Is the real thing; I'll go
through college, and then be It," or
something of thnt sort. Anyway, tho
first who hnd ''bloodshot hands" (that
quotation is exact), got out and rustled
for the cash so effectively that by tho
time the second was earning ?GO n
week as a professor, and wns still only
nn A. M., he came to tho samo collego
with $50,000 ho hnd forgotten to tnko
out 01 his pocket when he changed
his "pnnts" (tho professor doubtless
wore trousers), saw n now gymnasium
wns needed, gave tho ?50,000 and wns
made n Ph. D. Tho laugh Seemed to
be on number two.
Now, necordlng to James O'Donuell
Bennett, who Is well known In the
atrical circled, being now connected
with the business end of Miss Mar
lowe's productions, George Ade him
self might stand for number 0110 In
soino wny, and Bennett nud several
tnoro for number two.
"You see," said Dennett, "before
Ade wns famous, when he wns Just
a newspaper man with the rest, n lot
of us used to have quarters In Chi
cago .where ,wo retired nt night, when
tho dny's grind wns over, nnd stud
lously set about Improving our minds.
Dut Ado wouldn't Join us. While we
were rending the sIxty-Bevcnth voluino
of tbo 'Life of Johnson' he would be
down In all sorts of Joints, setting up
cheap variety actors and tho like to
beer nnd hnm sandwiches.
" 'Goorgc,' wo, would tell him, you
aro not doing sight by yourself. You
should study and Improvo your mind,
not waste your spare-tlmo In cheap
and riotous living. Come with us; win
culture, not slang.'
"Dut Ade kept on setting up tho beer
and learning slang. We cut the leaves
In tho sixty-eighth volume of DoswelL
And' now-t-nnd now, we hnvo minds
more or less Improved, but Ado draws
a salary of ?S00 a week, and goes to
tho Wnldorfl There's your fable, 'to
the llfe."-New YoVk Tribune.

Progress of Cremation.
That veteran advocate of cremation,
Sir Henry Thompson, has published In
tho Lancet u statistical nccouut of tho
progress of this movement which
should Interest those who regard cre
mation as tho only satisfactory inodo
of disposing decently of tho dead, hav

At Woking 2,007 cremations have ta
ken place, beginning with 3 In the
year 1885 and ending In 1001 with 273.
In 1001 thero were, besides 05 nt Man

Leicester will have a crematorium In
a few months, and the Institution In

don will be ready before tho closo of
1002. The United States has 20 cre
matories, of which 2-1 are In use. At
Fresh Pond. N. Y., 054 bodies were
cremated In 1001, 606 at San Francis

HERMIT OF BOG MOUNTAIN.
CuU Ten Ton nf liny Yearly nnd Gets
It In on u Wheelbarrow,
At tho bnsc of Dog Mountain Is a
farm under cultivation, owned and
carried on by Silas Prescott. Thero 13
no highway leading Into this place.
About seventy-live years ago there
was n largo family of boys, Bons of
Samuel Prescott, settled on or near
Prescott Hill. One of these, Joslnh,
about sixty yenrs ngo cleared up n
few acres of tillage and built a house
at the baso of Dog Mountain. Much
of tho lumber ho carried on his back
from tho highway, a distance' of half
a mile. He lived thero the remain
ing part of his life. Five children were
born on this farm.
One of them, Silas D now 54 yenrs
of ngo, hns always lived on the birth
place. His father died In 1870 nnd his
mother In 1801. Mr. PreBcott lives
nlouc, tho town giving him his tnxes
on condition thnt he ask for no high
way. A reporter called upon him nnd as
ccrtalned thnt he lived alone, hnd ten
ncrcs of tlllngc, cut nbout ten tons
of hay, nnd gets It In on a wheelbar
row. Ills great hobby Is keeping bees
nnd, he hns tho business down line,
some yenrs receiving large returns.
This year tho bees are a failure as
to honey. They nro so tniue with him
that ho can spread honey on his face,
llo down on tho grass aud tho bees will
come nud tnko tho honey away nnd do
not sting him. Ho handles them with
out any fear.
Mr. Prescott says he never gets
lonely. Ho spends a great deal of
tlmo In hunting aud fishing, nnd In tho
season for them gets very many
skunks. He says he hns caught as
four of these odoriferous animals in a
night without 11 dog. Ho takes a lan
tern on his nrm and sets out for a
night's hunt. A bridle path leads from
tho fourth New Hampshire turnpike
to his plnce. Tho darkest or stormiest
night hns no terror for him.
Mr. Prescott once won a bag of menl
on n wager thnt ho could carry It home,
a distance of two miles, letting down
nnd putting up two pairs of burs him
self, without hutting tho meal down.
For diet he uses crackers, canned
goods, fish, gnme, aud berries In their
.season.
Tho reporter nsked him how ho
would like a woman to keep house for
him. Ho had u good mnny "lfs" In
his answer. He seemed to enjoy his
modo of living as well as any ho could
have. In winter ho cuts somo wood
nnd lumber, but summer or winter,
work is not allowed to Interfere with
his Interest In sport or recreation.
For several years ho was a mem:
bor of Messer Rifles, Company A, lid
Regiment, N. II. N. Q. Ho was
obliged to walk eight miles, and was
onp of tho most regular attendants nt
tho company meetings. Ho wns count
ed as ono of tho best, nnd gave credit
to his company, taking great Interest
In It nnd Its affnlrs.-'llmot '(N. II.)

In somo form or other tho umbrolln

the paintings and sculptures of Egypt.
In China and Japan tho umbrella has
been In existence us far buck us his
tory can trace, and tho full war attlro
of a Jupaiieso soldier Included not only
u fan, but u very largo parasol. At tho
beginning of tho seventeenth century
umbrellas were Introduced into Eng
land as a fashionable fad. In thoso
days they were made of fenthers In
imitation of tho plumage of wuter
birds. Later, oiled silk became tho or
dinary material. In tho reign of Queen
Anne, as a protection In wet weather,
tbey became of general use amongst
women. That tho stronger sex dis
dained them, although men's dress was
Just as gay and rich as that of ladles,
Is proved beyond a doubt by muuy
writers of tho period.
Let Paris domes the umbrella's ribs dis

Or sweating slaves support tho shady

When 1'iuteni monarchs show their

Britain in winter only knows Its aid,

Minds his wife to complain about It.
