Sho was insensible for awhile, but
gradually recovered, and was carried
across tho street to the rosidonco of
Mr. Booth. l)r Cromwell was sent

repairing.

camp? in Idaho, past the Conner
creek mines, directly across the
Hay Horso cluster, and into the Pine
creek mines. By following the water
luvels a road cuuld be made without
a single heavy pull ii its wliplo

of both farmers and miners. It is es
timated that he propoK'd road can be
built (or $20,000. Of this amount the
little town of Huntington ma already
subscribed $12,000, The couiUy of
Raker will do something, of course,
and tho farmers and miners are ex

Emtou Soo,rT: Kor to pat few
nonths my friend Juha V.0, utllic
ted with boils, lie hs bad. ttV boils,
and big boilordinarY ot-ir..vdiiyuy,
nd superordinary LiUs.' AhoAt two
weeks ago went nroury(l U Jiyd's
liouspj to conuilt with, him n regard, to
somo matters connected with, tc in
ternational Auti-cockrpach myl Bed
bug Society. I found him standing
in front of his dining room sto.e, and
he lookul at mo with a wild glare
The lingers of one la"l wem fast
locked in his back hair, while tlo oth
er arm was outstyetchod liko the slow
unmoving finger of scorn. H's teeth
were cinched, and Ips wlple appearance
indicated a perturbed state of mhyl,
With that fearless intrepidity which
has always characterized me, I ap
proached and m,ade the sual sugges
tions about the stale of the wcathor.
Then he exploded.
"Let it blow, sjr! Let it blow tlo
measly old earth clear out of the solar
system!" he ojuouhted wildly, whirl
ing his left arm around like i disnpin
tcleil wind-mill in a gale. "What's
that to a man with i boil as big as
a dQ',r knob under his arm? Fjon't
you see I can't let my right anp down?
Don't you see I've got to keep it stuck
I out straight, like a peg in a nt rack?
What's the. weather to mo? Let it
rain Norwegian maelstroms, sr Let
earthquakes crack the old ball from
center to circumfrence! Let cyclones,
tornadoes apd blizzards devastate tho
land 1 A run with boils is abpve no
ticing such trifles."
I mildly suggested tlpit that Yfns a
very inconvenient place to ontcrtajn a
boil. Tho look of vyithoring scorn
with whioh h regarded me had in, it a
superabundance of imipensity.
"Did you over see a boil take up its
residence anywhere, apd then inpvo
out because tjie view didn't suit, o the
drainage was defective? Not much!
Boils aro privjogod characters, They
conm when they please, and stay as
long as thoy please Sundays inclu
ded, I just, wish I cond havo oo of
the blanied things on Uo top of my
head, and tjien it wouidt give mo any
trouble. I'd show 'em I"
It was Very evident that the inter
ests of tho Anti-coekrpach and Bed
bug Society would sillier if I broaol'ied
the subject tp him, wljjlo lp? was jn
that state of mind, and so I polite'
made my exit.
Yesterday 1 caNcd agajn. The dog
met me at the gate with a beseeching
look in his eyes, and a vcj-y apologetjc
waggle to his tail. The cat regarded
mo suspiciously, from a hqle under U)0
porch. I rang tjie bell, No answer.
I admitted myself and entered tho
parlor. A scene of utter confusion, and
unadulterated chrios, met my astonish
ed gazo, Chairs were overturned, a
spittoon, upside down, reposed lan
guidly on the key-hoard of the piano;
the rcmainp of a sofa and a. rocking
chair occupied tho center-table, which
was minus a leg. Jn the midst of all
this wreck apd desolation stood Jud.
Put alas! how changed. His wish for
a boil on tho top uf his head, had been
gratified.
Tho top of J ud's bend is, generally,
as smooth as a billiard ball ; hut yes
terday H presented a ratner corruga
ted appearance. 1 ho exact center of
the cranium had been chosen as the
seat of opperalion, anil tho boil, about
tho sizo and shape of a Bartlot pear,
loomed up, red and shining, like an
active volcano. One car was drawn
up, by the contraction, on the sido of
his head, and looked like a baked clam
hastily tacked on. Tho other ear
had traveled around to the back, and
was reclining with tho little ond up.
One eyebrow was curved around the
base of tlio hod, and tho eye that be
longed to it, was scarcely preccptible.
The nose, like the biblical war-Jiorse,
seemed to bo sgnnting tho battlo from
afar, and, to uso a stock board express
ion, had a decided upward tendency.
Tho fiery spirit of Jud seemed to bo
considerably toned, as it were. A
meek anil lowly humility character
ized his manner as ho addressed me.
"My dear friend," ho said, "man
wants but little hero below, nor wants
that littlo long. What little I've got
is amply sufficient, and I want it no
longer. Man was mado to mourn,
and sack-cloth and ashes is his proper
raiment. (Jo, therefore my friend, in
to the cold, cold world, and tell tho
dwellers thoro, that Jud has retired
from tho turmoil, and wickedness
thereof, and .will henceforth devote
himself to the cultivation of patience
and boils. Go, man of the world,
worldly and leave me to my lifes
work."
1 went, with tears of sorrow for the
loss of so good a man. Poor Jud !
