I'UEKSOLL ON 151 MORTALITY.
He Admit the
Possibility
tlie Grave.
of a life Beyond
Colonel Robert Ingersoil, writing
to a friend on a recent work on im
mortality, makes this most liberal
statement of his belief in the pos
sibility of a life beyond the grave:
"If we admit the existence of a
God of infinite wisdom aud com
passion, we may say that there
must ba a world better than this,
but how we account for one worse
than that? That is to say, this: If
justice triumphs here, why not
there r If honesty goes without
bread in this world, why not in an
other? Certainly God will be no
better there thau now. Still, it
may be possible that a God of infi
nite love and compassion will so
reward those who suffer through
suffering itself, that all tbat hap
pens will be consistant with wis
dom and compassion. Love and
hope ate universal. As long as
there is hope, there will probably
be in the heart and brain a splen
did dream of immortality. It may
be that we live no more, that we go
back to unconscious dust, and yet
4h-heart will always say: Pcr
hajjS there is another life.' But
whether there is or not, let us all
paint on the canvas of the future
the picture that delights and satis
fies the soul. We know that in this
world, after joy comes grief, as
atter aay comes night and it may
be there is some world where, after
grief, comes joy, as after night
comes day." San Francisco
Chronicle.

A THRIFTY BUSINESS MAN.
"Talk about closeness and calcu
lating stinginess," said a down
town business man the other day
to a group of friends, "I used to
know a citizen of this community
who was just abont as 'near' a per
son, as the Yankees say, as I ever
met. I give you my word that
this old codger, who was in the
drug business on a prominent
street, used to go to a popular sa
loon where an elaborate free lunch
was set out every day at just noon.
He would walk up to the bar, buy
a 5-cent cigar, which he invariably
put carefully away in his pocket,
then he would tackle the lunch.
And my! How he would make the
soup, the cold meat, the salad, the
cheese, the pickles disappear. For
fully fifteen minutes he would min
ister to the needs of the inner man,
then would wash his hands and re
turn to his apothecary shop as well
satisfied as most men would feel
after a dinner of Delmonico's. But
what do you think he used to do
with that 5-cent cigar for he nev
er smoked? Sold it to the first
customer who came in for 10 cents."
Detroit Free Press.
JUSTICE IX KAH1.Y DAYS.
The following amusing reminis
cences of how justice was dispens
ed in the early days of Wasco
ounty, is taken from the Moun
taineer: In 1853 the highest magistrate
was a justice of fhe peace, and
John D. Woodward, now at the
Locks, occupied that position. A
man was brought before him for
larceny, and the evidence being
clear he was fined 100, or fifty
days in jail. The man had no
money and the nearest calaboose
was in Vancouver. After consider
ing the matter, Justice Woodward
came to the conclusion that he
must take the prisoner to that point.
Shouldering his rifle, he forced the
culprit to lead, and so conveyed
him to the destined place. When
rhe arrived at Vancouver he was in
formed that that was a military
post, and the officers bad no right
to incarcerate the prisoner. Order
ing his man to "about face," he
marched him back to the Cascades,
and on arriving at that place told
the thief, seeing that he had no
money, he would take his note for
$200 fine and expenses a n d
costs. The man willingly gave the
note and was discharged. Noth
ing has been heard of the fellow
siuce, and on asking Mr. Wood
ward about the promisory note, a
few days ago, he said it was still
bearing interest per cent a
month aud that it was still in his
possession.
OLD JONES' PHILOSOPHY.
Soap don't cost as much as dia
monds, but lots o' people don't
seem to be able to afford both.
A man who needs forty cents
worth of whisky to give him an ap
petite for a fifteen cent dinner al
ways has the dyspepsia.
I never feel comfortable when
there's a man around that smiles
all the time. The only dog that
evei bit me never stopped waggin'
his tail.
W'en a man goes a sleighridin'
with a parcel o' girls an' comes
home with his ears froze, it shows
he needs more hands. Ut course
he's got to use one hand to drive,
an' that don't leave none to rub his
ears with.
You can't rely on signs. Lots o'
folks say that a man with big ears
is generous and stupid. W en I
was a boy I went to a cirkis, and
they had a little mule no bigger
than a teu-weeks' calf. They ask
ed for boys to ride the critter, an' I
sez: "He's only a mule, an' he's got
big ears. He must be stupid an
he won't play me no mean tricks."
Wen they took ine home my father
licked me for bein a fool, an said
he'd like to give the mule a medal.

before he was found, and in tracing
them up discovered Kane, who died im
mediately. His body was cared for un
til yesterday morning, wben a jury was
empannelled and Kane's working part'
ner called upon to testify. He said that
Kane had been oomplaining for several
days of heart trouble. Kane had been
drinking heavily and the liquor added
to the exposure caused a bad attack of
heart disease. The jury found a verdict
in accordance with the facts. In Kane's
pocket was a fifty-cent piece. There
were no marks on his person to show
foul play. Kane has no relatives living
in the state as far as known and the
