$ How Williams Came 1 To Go Back East Williams of Rhode Island was down on bis luck. He had been Ave years In the gold State, and had confidently looked forward to each succeeding yeur's enabling blm to go back home and make things comfortable for the woman and little ones. But each suc ceeding year had found him precisely where the previous oue had left him a sanguine prospector, with a wealth of hope and a pitifully small outfit But this last find bad been different He had taken out sixty dollars a 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 the vein had disappeared, and he had picked and shoveled and hauled away dirt until his money was exhausted. But the gold was there, he was sure of it; and his confidence had Induced the trader at Three Forks to advance him funds. However, there had been a shaft to sink, a 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 blm of false pretenses. Only this morning he had received intimation that the Sheriff wus about to levy on bis mine on his Molly, named after the dear one It was to do so much for. He was aroused by approaching foot steps. When he looked up two men stood before blm. One of them was the owner of the adjoining claim; the other was the Sheriff. f "I have come to " began the offl. cer. "Yes, yes, I know." Williams of Ehode Island rose heavily to his feet "It's all right Just go ahead. I can do nothing." The sheriff looked at him curiously. "Oh, 'taln't quite so bad as that," he laughed. "I 'did 'low on makln' a levy; but Kansas here has been tellln' me something that has changed my plans. You needn't bother about the bill jest now." "I s'pose yon heerd 'bout my luck?" Kansas asked, blandly. "I've got a pretty vein," Kansas went on frnnkly; "but bit dtps to'ard you una' land. If that's a pocket I 'low hit's acrost your line. I don't s'pose ye'd be wlllln' to sell out, clean; but if ye'll go pards I'll give ye ten thousand for a half share," He waited a moment but as there was no reply, added: "111 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 the moun tain; and then across to the east, where the sun was Just rising above the pines. "Yes, I'll quit," he said, huskily; "you can buy me out clean. I'm going homo." Philadelphia Times. FISHING IN THE YELLOWSTONE. Tront CauKht and Bollad In the Same Stream. People returning from the west fre quently have some wonderful stories to relate of how they caught trout in the Yellowstone Park and, without changing their seat lifted the fish out of the stream of cold water, over into a boiling spring, and cooked It with out removing it from the hook. These stories are all very veil In their way, but when told In the manner above outlined one can safely put them down as yarns without the slightest foun dation In fact To catch a fish in a stream of cold water and lift it over into a spring of boiling water Is oue of the many curious things that are possible only In the Yellowstone Park, but, should the person so doing at tempt to draw the fish out of the boil ing spring the head would pull oft the thoroughly boiled and perfectly soft body and be would thus lose the fish. The most wonderful phenomenon of this ort In the Yellowstone Park Is one that has thus far escaped those who are fond of telling big fish yarns, mainly for the reason that the locality lies outside the beaten track of travel and visitors and can only be reached after considerable difficulty. At the Point In question a stream of clear, cold water flows through the park, receiving in its course the scalding hot waters of one of the numerous bofV Pring of that region. This boiling-vaster, as it reaches the cold strWm, flows for a considerable dis tance along one bank before the waters finally mingle and become one 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, wept Into the cold-water stream. Now In the cold water of this stream a number of hungry trout are continual ly skirmishing along the edge of the bot 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 wiw a hook and line, draw him two feet from where be took the hook, and boll him eood and done, all In the same stream, and without even lifting the fish from the water. The fisherman would, of course, have to have a scood net to remove the tolled trout from the water, for other- vise the head would pull off, leaving the body In the water. But barring Ms, says the Washington Post it Is within the bounds of truth for one to catoh K 18 PMiMe to A. FABLE FROM REAL LIFE. How Author of F.ble. ln 8lan L Wed fp to Hi.

In several parts of the world a resin ous substancecalledoaooerite and bear ing considerable resemblance to bees wax Is found, usually ln connection with rock salt and coal. There are de posits ln Austria, Russia, Roumanla, Egypt, Algeria, Canada and Mexico, but ozocerite has, so far, not been dis covered in sufficient quantities to pay for mining anywhere except In the dis trict of Roryslav, In Austrian Galicla, and on an Island on the west coast of the Caspian Sea. In mining this mineral wax shafts are sunk until a bed or "nest" of ozo cerite is struck. Then connecting gal leries are drives. There is considerable danger and many lives have been lost in consequence of the sudden forcing up of the soft wax into the shafts by the enormous pressure to which It is subjected. It Is used largely for man ufacturing ceresin, says the Brooklyn Citizen, which Is employed, together with beeswax, for making wax candles, ns well as In the manufacture of phono graphic cylinders, and for many similar purposes. Progress of Cremation. That veteran advocate of cremation. Sir Henry Thompson, has published In the Lancet a statistical account of the progress of this movement which should Interest those who regard cre mation as the only satisfactory mode of disposing decently of the dead, hav ing regard to the safety of the living. At Woking 2.09T cremations have ta ken place, beginning with 3 in the year 1885 and ending in 1001 with 273. In 1901 there were, besides 95 at Man chester. 40 at Liverpool. 18 at Glas gow. 17 at Hull and 2 at Darlington. Leicester will have a crematorium in a few months, and the institution ln course of erection In the north of Lon don will be ready before the close of 1902. The United States has 26 cre matories, of which 24 are ln use. At Fresh Pond. N. Y.. 654 bodies were cremated In 1901. 066 at San Francis co (Odd Fellows), and 182 at Chicago, In Paris, from 1899 to 1901. 2.299 pri vate cremations took place.-San Fran cisco Chronicle.

SUFFERED SEVEN YEARS. WITH CATARRHAL DERANGEMENTS OF THE PELVIO ORGANS. m Miss Kate Brown, recording secretary of the L. C. B. Association of Kansas, in a letter from 605 N. Seventh St., Kansas City, Kan., says: "For seven years I have not known what it was to spend a well day." I caught a severe cold, which I neg lected,. It was at the time of menstru ation and inflammation set in and pros trated me. Catarrh of the Kidneys and bladder followed, my digestive organs gave way, in fact the cold disar ranged my whole system. 'I spent hundreds of dollars with doctors and medicine, qut derived but little benefit until I began treatment with Peruna. I kept taking it for near ly nine months before I was completely cured, but I kept growing better, grad ually, so that I felt encouraged to con tinue taking Peruna until my health was restored. I send my thanks and blessings to you for Peruna." Miss Kate Brown. An Opening. Stage Director What shall I do with the wealthy young amateur you engaged thie morning? Manager What can be do?

These atmospheric poisons are breathed into the lungs and taken ns by the blood, and the foundation of some long, debilitating illness is laid. Chills and fever, chronic dyspepsia, torpid and enlarged liver, kidney troubles, jaundice and biliousness are frequently due to that invisible foe, Malaria. Noxious gases and unhealthy matter collect in the system because the liver and kidneys fail to act, and are poured into the blood current until it becomes so polluted and sluggish that the poisons literally break through the 6kin, and carbuncles, boils, abscesses, ulcers and various eruptions of aa indolent character appear, depleting the system, and threatening life itself. The germs and poisons that so oppress and weaken the body and destroy the life-giving properties of the blood, rendering it thin and watery, must be overcome and carried out of the system before the patient can hope to get rid of Malaria and its effects. increases almost from the first dose.

It is more often, however, the cause of some chronic disease. There is not an organ in the body but what is liable to become seriously deranged by a neglected cold. Diseas es of the kidneys, bladder and digestive organs are all frequently the result of neglected cold. Hundreds of dollars are spent on doctors and medicines trying to cure these diseases, but until the true cause of them is discovered there will be no use in using medicine. Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medi cine and constipation medicine is of no good whatever when catarrh is the oauee. The catarrh must be treated. The cause being removed, the derange ments will disappear. Pernna cures catarrh of thedisgestive organs, the urinary organs or any of the internal organs.

If it did. then th conclusion la lrrealstltble that It gar rl to niont of the myths and beliefs connected with gnomes, kobolds and falrlea. The demeanor and actlona of the lit tle Kongo dwarfs at the present day remind one over and over again of the traits attributed to the brownie and goblins of our fairy stories. Their re markable power of becoming invisible by adroit hiding in herbage and behind rocks, their probable habits In sterile or open countries of making their homes in holes and caverns, their mis cbievousneas and prankish good na ture, all aeeui to suggest that It was some race like this which Inspired moat of the stories of Teuton and Celt re garding a dwarfish people of quasi supernatural attribute. The dwarfs of the Kongo forest can be good or bad neighbors to the big1 black people, according to the treat ment they receive. If their selfish depredations on the banana groves or their occasional thefts of tobacco or maize are condoned, or even If they are conciliated by small gifts of such food left exposed where It can be easi ly taken, they will ln return leave be hind them in their nightly visitations gifts of meat and products of the chase. sucn as sains or ivory.

These collections of pygmle. which oue can scarcely call tribes, certainly exhibit from time to time Individuals of ordi nary stature and with features not strongly resembling those of the pyg my type.
