I scarcely know how it happened
b u t a timber must have fell and
struck me on the bead.
The'first thing that I realized after
it was that I was straight and still
on something hard, and when I tried
to move m yself and speak I found it
impossible to do so. I concluded
that I must be in some very dark,
tigh t place, for I could not sc-e; in
fact, I soon learned that, though per­
fectly concious, I could do nothing
but hear. A door opened and foot­
steps, approached; but I felt a cloth
taken from my face, and a -voice
which I recognized as that of Mr.
Jones, the father of my wife that was
to be— said:
“ He,hasn’t changed m u ch ,” and
his companion, whose voice I knew
to be the village undertaker, H o p ­
kins by name, said lightly:
“ Better looking dead than alive.
H ow does Jcrusha feel about it? Take
on much ?”
“ Oh, no, she had her eyes on an ­
other fellow anyhow, and a better
match, too, except the money part.
- T h o u g h I had nothing against Ben,
only he did n’t know much, and was
about tho homeliest man I ever
knew. Such a mouth; why it really
seemed as though he was going to
swallow knife, plate and all, when he
opened it at dinner.”
“ W ell,” said tho cheerful voice of
Hopkins, lie’ll never open his mouth
again,” and then he proceeded to
measure for my coffin for it seemed
that I was dead, or they -thought I
was, which was all the same to the
greedy pocket of the undertaker. I
had heard of undertakers who a l ­
ways whistled when they got a meas-
iirp, but I never believed it before.
B u t that man actually whistled a
subdued dancing-tune while
he
measured me, and it seemed to me
that three of four icicles were rolling
down my back to the music of his
tune.
His duty done, they covered tny
face again and left to my own reflec­
tions, which were hot particularly
comforting, although I had often
heard it remarked that meditation
was good for the soul, and this was
the best chance I had ever had for
.trying it.
An Lour must have passed when
the door again opened, and two p e r­
sons came whispering along to where
I lay, and the voice of my promised
wife fell upon my ear.
“ I dread to look upon him, Bob;
he was so mortal homely, alive, he
must be frigh tful dead.”
I ground m y teeth in imagination,
as I remembered how often she had
gone into raptures or pretended to,
over my noble brow and expressive
mouth, and how she had often de­
clared that if I were taken away from
her she would surely pine away and
die.
One of them raised the cloth, and
I knew they were looking at me.
Bob was her second cousin, and I
knew he was that other fellow, her
father had mentioned.
“ Seems to me you don’t feel very
bad about his d y i n g ’Rusha, rem ark­
ed Bob.
“ W ell, to tell the tru th ,” said my
dear betrothed. “ I don’t care much
about it. If he had lived I should
have married him, because he was
rich and father wanted me to; but I
was getting about sick of m y bargain
for I knew I should always be asham­
ed of him, he looked so much like a
baboon.”
“ But yon loved h im ,” remarked
Bob.
• “ No I didn’t ! M y affections were
wasted long ago on one who never
returned my love;” and my fast-fad»
ing idol sighed heavily.
T hey had covered m y face b y this
time, and were standing a few steps
from where I lay.
“ About how lo n g ago ’Rusha ask­
ed Bob.
“ A year or such a m atter,” with
a deep sigh, which ended in a fit of
sneezing.
“ About the time I went away?”
interrogated the
cautious
Bob,
coughing a little.
“ W ell, yes, some’res near,” assent­
ed my dear affianced.
“ Now, Jerusha, you don’t mean to
insinuate that I — ”
“ I don’t mean to insinuate any­
thing. Bob Sm ith!” and the angelic
sweetness of her voice was somewhat
sharpened.
“ Now see here, ’Rusha, I ’ve loved
you ever since you were knee high
to a gopher, but I thought when you
came home that you was sweet on
that other chap, but I swan I believe
you liked me all the time!”
“ Oh, B ob!” said m y was-to-be, in
a gushing sort of way.
“ M y own ’R usha!” remarked Bob.
Then I heard a subdued rush, ao'
companied by violent lip explosions.
I tried to kick, or grate m y teeth, or
do something to relieve m y outraged
feelings, b u t not a kick nor a grate
could I raise. I t was an aw ful fix to
be in, but I had to stand it, or lay it
so I laid still and let them alone un ­
til they got tired of it, and then they
went out, and I was again left to my
own pleasant reflections.
N igh t came, and so did a lot of
yo u n g fellows with their girls, to sit
up with me: and they bad a jo lly
time of it,although it was against my
principles to enjoy it on so solemn
an occasion.
I t seemed an age until m orning,
hut it came at last and they went
away. I heard them say I was to be
buried that day at % o’clock, and I
was beginning to feel decidedly
sh aky wnen Jerusha and her mother
qame into the room aud began a r­
ranging for the funeral.
“ ’R u s h a ,” said her mother, “ here
is that snuff cglored suit of poor
B en ’s; of course lie w ill never have
any more use for clothes, so just
put them away among yo ur carpet-
rags; th e y ’ll maketa splendid stripe.”
Now that particular suit of clothes
was just the neatest one I ever own'
ed, arm wholes, collars, waist-bands,
buttons, all just the thing, and m y
blood boiled to hear them talk so
cooly of using them for stripes in a
rag carpet. They kept on talking as
they swept, dusted and cleaned up
the room.
“ Bob says he will take the Martin
farm to work this ye a r,” said J eru ­
sha, cheerfully, “ and as soon as we
are married we shall go to house­
keeping in that little cottage close to
the road. Now I must get my c a r­
pet done, as soon as possible, for I
want it in that nice little front room.
These duds of Ben’s will make out
enough rags, I guess. His folks live
so far away they will never inquire
about his clothes. Nov/, if it wasn’t
for the looks of it, we could ask old
mother Smith about coloring y e l­
low; she is sure to be here, too
d a y.”
I was getting very mad now, in­
deed. - I felt that the crisis was near
and that I .should either die or exi
plodo, if they did not let my snuff-
colored suit alone. Jerusha picked
Inem u p — I knew it, for I heard the
buckles, and buttons jingle— and
made for the door. I tried to shake
my fist and yell at her, but all in
vain. I laid there, outwardly as quiet
as a lainb, inwardly boiling with
wrath. I t was too much; the d e e p ­
est trance could not have held out
against the loss of that suit. W ith a
powerful effort I sprang up and
screamed. Jerusha
dropped my
clothes and her mother the duster,
"and both fled from the room, and
the house, never stopping until chey
reached Dr. Brown’s across the street
With difficulty I managed to get my
clothes. I had just got them fairly
on, when Mrs. Jones and her d a u g h ­
ter followed by a numerous company
of men, women and children, came
peering cautiously into the room. I
sat on m y board and looked at them.
Such a scared-looking crowd was
enough to amuse ah owl, so I la u g h ­
ed ; I knew it was unbecoming, but
I couldn’t have helped it if they had
chucked me into m y coffin— which
the undertaker was just then carry'
ing past the window— and buried me
the next minute. I laughed until I
jarred the chair out from under one
end of of board, and down I went
with a crash. Then the doctor ven­
tured into the room, saying, rather
dubiously:
“ So you are not dead yet, Ben? ”
“ W e il, no, not exactly,” I replied
‘ sorry to dissapoint my friends about
the funeral however. ’
“ Y e s ,” he said rather absently,
‘bad, rather— that is— ahem !’
Fooled out of that snuff-colored
stripe! I thought as I looked at J e ­
rusha.
Go and speak wiili him, said her
father. H e’s got the stamps, and
you had better marry him after all.
They had began to gather around
me and congratulate me on m y es­
cape. I ndticed that they cried a
great deal more now than th e y ' did
when I was dead. Jerusha came
and hung around m y neck, sniveling
desperately, I gave her a not over-
gentle push and told her to wait
next time until I was safely buried
before she set her heart on my old
clothes.
O, I ’m so glad! she said sweetly,
not appearing to notice what I said
about the clothes, that you are not
dead, Benny, dear. M y heart seem­
ed all withered and broken to see
you ly in g all cold and white. I wept
bitterly over your pale face, my b e ­
loved.
Yes. I replied, I heard you and
Bob taking on terribly, I t was a
lu c k y die for me.
Could 3:ou hear? she gasped,
I rather think I could;— some, I
replied.
She looked toward the door, but it
was crowded full, so she made a dive
for the open window and
went
through it like a deer. She shut her­
self up in the smoke-house, and
would not come out until I had left
the house.
Bob would not fulfill his promise
of marriage with his cousin because
she tried to make up with me again;
so she is livin g a life of,single bless­
edness.
W hile I am writing, my wife is
cutting up my snuff colored clothes
to make a stripe in a new carpet for
our front room.

R adway ’ s M ealy R elief Hair Vigor
From thé Jacksonville Sentinel.
In your issue of January 23d the follow­
ing ‘ ‘Problem” is put forth:
“ Is the auriferous ‘Big Blue Lead’ of Cal­
ifornia the channel of the ancient Columbia
river ? Who will answer ?”
To any one but a geologist well acquain­
ted with the country between tho “ Big Blue
Lead of California” and the “ extinct river
in Baker County, Oregon1” tho question
will be a poser; but in the absence of such a
“ master” to solve the “ problem,” I will be
pardoned for offering an opinion.
At the time these “ dead rivers” were liv­
ing streams all that country between the
points named on the North and South, and
Jacksonville on the West, including the
Southern part of Baker, Grant and "Wasco
counties, and embracing, also, all of western
Oregon but Curry, Josephine, and the west­
ern part of Jackson, with all western Cali­
fornia, except Del Norte, Klamath, and the
western part of Siskiyou counties, was a part
and parcel of the Pacific Oecan. The west­
ern part of Jackson, with all of Josephine
and Curry counties in Oregon, and the west­
ern part o f Siskiyou, with all of Del Norte
and Klamath counties in California, were a
grand island in the Pacific, some hundreds
of miles off the eastern shore. The extinct
part of old ocean -thus sketched, with its is­
land (now so much of the coast range West
of us), may not be very accurately bounded,
bur certain it is that Jacksonville stands
about one mile off the shore of a once migh­
ty ocean, while Ashland is immediately on
the beach. Cottonwood, California, is off
the shore a mile, and Yreka inland but a
short distance, -perhaps not more than a
mile.
A little beyond you, to the East, Mr. Edit­
or, and in fact all around you, for you, are
nestled at the feet Of, and among a small
group o f 3mall islands, stood, or rather an­
chored, one of the Cities of the Icebergs, re­
flecting the gorgeous rays of the sun in a
thousand different directions, as in its light
and warmth they were enabled to discharge
their cargoes of animals, rocks, trees, Ac.,
and giving to the 'place an air of business
that no seaport of modern times, with all
its wealth of shipping, could rival.
Ashland was not favored with a channel
and harbor into which these ice vessels could
sail and find quiet anchorage from the storm
without, but thousands of hapless icebergs,
drifting too near the rocks, were stranded in
the breakers, leaving their, cargoes, as ever­
lasting monuments of their nativity and
disaster, to be read and studied with delight
by the scientific mind of the coming man.
The same'convulsions that lifted the ex­
tinct part of the ocean above its original wa­
ter level also raised the Sierra and Cascade
range of mountains, and thus the waters
East of this range were divided [from those
on the West. How long the waters were
thus pent up in this elevated inland, basin
will never be'.known, but its rim at the Dalles
of the Columbia, the chasm through
which , the'Klamath flows, and the passage of
the Colorado, were finally overflown, and
the immense reservoir was thus gradually
drained and opened up. enriched, for the
future habitation of man.
Having promised thus much, a few words
will dispose of the “ problem” in accordance
therewith.
Into the extinct ocean thus in imagination
re-created, poured the living waters of those
now “ dead rivers,” with whatever of wealth
their density and velocity enabled them to
carry, the one draining the country on the
North and the other on the South.
The “ auriferous deposits” of the “ Big
Blue Lead of California” and the “ gravel
lead of Baker county, Oregon,” were collect­
ed iron; the country adjacent to where they
are now found. Their present wealth de­
pends almost entirely upon the original rich­
ness of their own immediate localities.
Heavy (or course) gold does not wash far,
unless there is great tall and consequent
power in the stream to carry it along. Be­
side", the country adjacent to both streams
is known to be rich in gold wherever explor­
ed.
There is much of “ C.’s” article that is
of great interest, hut I have not now time
to endorsedt, while the part considered still
remains an open question. Some of tho
premises taken are incorrect; the “ problem”
is not fairly disposed of. I invite "criticism,
as this is written more for the purpose of
awakening interest in the subject than for
any other purpose.

iiierry Pectoral,
F or D iseases o f the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, W h oopin g-
Cough, B ronchitis, Asthm a,
and Consum ption.
Among the great
discoveries of mod­
ern science, few are
I? of more real valuo
to mankind than
this effectual rem-
edv for all diseases
of* the Throat and
Lungs. A vast tri­
al of its virtues,
throughout this and
other countries, lias
shown tliat it does
surely and effectually control them. The tes­
timony of our best citizens, of all classes, es­
tablishes the fact, that C h e r r y P ectoral
will and does relieve and cure the afflicting
disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any
other medicine. The most dangerous affec­
tions of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its
power; aud cases of C on su m ption , cured
by this preparation, are publicly known, so
remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As a rem­
edy it is adequate, on which the public may
rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, it
saves unnumbered lives, and an amount of
suffering not to be computed. It challenges
trial, and convinces the most sceptical.
Every family should keep it on hand as a
protection against the early and unperceived
attacks of Pulmonary Affections, which are
easily met at first, but which become incura­
ble, and too often fatal, if neglected. Tender
lungs need tiiis defence; and it is unwise to
be without it. As a safeguard to children,
amid tlie distressing diseases which beset the
Throat and Chest of childhood, C herry
P e c t o r a l is invaluable; for, by its timely
use, multitudes are rescued from premature
graves, and saved to the love and affection
centred on them. It acts speedily and surely
against ordinary coids, securing sound and
health-restoring sleep. No one will suffer
troublesome In flu en za and painful B ron ­
chitis, when they know how easily they can
be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious,
and successful chemical investigation, no c-ost
or toil.is spared in making ever}- bottle in the
utmost- possible perfection. It may be confi­
dently relied upon as possessing all the vir­
tues it lias ever exhibited, and capable ot
producing.cures as memorable as the greatest
it lias ever effected.
