All the miners of the day shift ex cept Kingman and Andy were now on the ladder. Blakesly was satisfied and started nimbly up the greasy rungs. The foreman removed his tools to a place of sa fcty, applied the flame of his candle to the end of the fuse, watched the fuse splutter for a mo ment and then made his way to the ladder and started for the surface him self. “Where's Allie?\ asked Andy, spring ing out of the shaft and hurrying after Blakesly. “She came up with Kingman,” re plied Blakesly. “Who told you?\ “ Fritz.\ The miners were straggling out, sin gly and In couples, on their way to the boarding house. Kingman was in the lead, walking alone. Fritz was just ahead of the foreman and Blakes ly. “Hello, Kingman!\ shouted Andy. “Where's Allie?\ Kingman turned. “Didn’t she come lip with you?” he asked. Every miner in the straggling line came to an abrupt halt. The very thought that Allie might still be below with a fuse lighted and leaping closer and closer to a terrific charge of dyna mite was sufficient to set every heart to pounding. There were other charges in the level, too, but they were light compared with the one in the breast of the tunnel. Andy went white in a second. “You infernal villain!\ he roared, springing upon Fritz and gripping him by the throat. Fritz tore himself loose and ran fran tically back to the shaft. “Kingman vent past der slope mit Allie on his shoulter,\ he flung at them as he raced. “I did,\ cried Kingman, Joining the rest as they flocked excitedly after Fritz, “but she said she’d rather come up with her father, so I lowered her down the ladder again. Didn’t you see her, Andy?\ “Oh, my God!\ gasped the foreman and threw his hands to his face. “How many holes were loaded?” de manded Blakesly. “Three,\ said Higgins. “All two minute fuses?\ It was a useless question, for that was the standard length for the noon firing. Andy staggered against the frame work of the “whim,\ his face ashen and his nerve completely gone. He could do nothing. “ Perhaps she’s coming up!” suggested Blakesly. Another useless remark, for Allie could not have climbed the ladder if she had tried. Blakesly leaped on the platform to look down, but Fritz had already swung the ox hide ore bucket over the shaft, had kicked the coil of rope into the depths and had gripped the strands convulsively. It was a time for action, not for words. How many seconds of the pre cious 120 had already slipped away? The climbing of the ladder, the walk toward the boarding house, the collo quy, the backward rush—it seemed as though all that must have consumed the time to the uttermost second. “She’s not coming oop!\ cried Fritz, and as lie spoke he sprang into the bucket and dropped from sight. One glimpse of his wild, terror strick en face was all they caught, and then came the swirl of the rope and the shriek of the unoiled sheave. In a breath there followed the bump of the bucket at the bottom of the shaft, and the rope leaped upward and hung limp and shaking. Boom! came from below, a puff of bluish smoke curling upward above the platform planks. “One!” whispered Blakesly, drawing away from the choking powder. Boom! “Two!\ gasped Higgins, holding his hat over his mouth and kneeling to peer downward. “Do you see anything—hear any thing?\ demanded Kingman hoarsely. Higgins turned a despairing face to ward Kingman and shook his head. Boom! From under them came a sodden roar which seemed to rive the earth asun der. Kingman was thrown from his feet, and the others on the platform flung out their hands in an attempt to grasp something and support them selves. Up from the blacknesff rolled a billow of sulphurous fog. “Fritz was mad to go down there,\ said Kingman. “They’re both lost. Wliat are you doing, Blakesly?\ Blakesly had jerked off his coat and was wrapping it about his head. “If they're not both done for now,” he replied in muffled tones, “they soon will be if we don’t get them up. Stand ready to man the whim rope when I shake it.” He crawled gropingly to the ladder and lowered himself. All watched the rope breathlessly. Finally, after a wait that seemed hours in duration, the sig nal was given, and stout hands drew the bucket to the surface. A little head lay against the bucket’s rim, and a white childish face met the eyes of the men. Allie! Kingman took her out of the bucket. She was uncon scious, but the miracle was that she CH ILL WINDS Are the dread of those whose lungs are v weak.” Some fortunate people can follow the summer as it goes southward, and escape the cold blasts of winter and the chill airs of spring. But for the majority of people this is impossible. Family cares and business obliga tions hold them fast. w Weak ” lungs are made strong by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery. It cures the obstinate cough, heals the in flamed tissues, stops the hem orrhage, and re stores the lost flesh to the ema ciated body. «I am a railroad agent,” writes 1 . B. Staples, Esq., of Barclay, Osage Co., Hans., ” ana four Certificates of Deposit Issued. years ago my work keeping me in a warm room and stepping out fre quently Into the cold air gave me bronchitis, which became chronic and deep seated. Doctors failed to reach my case and advised me to try a higher air, but, fortunately for roe. a friend also advised me to try Dr. Pierce's medicines. I commenced taking your * Golden Medical Discovery,’ and by the time I had taken the first bottle I was bet ter, and after taking about four bottles my cough was entirely gone. I have found no ne cessity for seeking another climate.” Sometimes a dealer, tempted by the little more profit paid on the sale of less meritorious medicines, will offer the customer a substitute as being ” just as good ” as the ” Discovery.0 You get the People’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, the best medical work ever published, free by sending stamps, to pay expense of mailing only.

Not a stone of all that flying debris had struck her. She was given into the eager, trem bling arms of her father, who started at a run for the boarding house. Meanwhile the bucket had again been lowered. The signal <rom Blakes ly was longer In coming than the first had been, and when the bucket was drawn up a second time It was found to contain Fritz—Fritz, bruised, torn and bleeding. Ills clothes all but stripped from Ills body. Tender hands lifted him to the platform and stretched his mangled limbs out on the rough planks. They thought he was dead, but his eyelids quivered unexpectedly and partly opened. “I vns between Allie und der rocks,\ he whispered weakly. “She vas in my arms und nodding touched her. It vas my mistake, uiul it’s all right, all right.\ Ills spirit flickered and went out even as the “all right\ faded from Ills lips. Blakesly had to be helped to the sur face, for his work in the noisome va por had told upon him. A few breaths of fresh air were all he needed, and when he had revived sufficiently he tokl how he had groped his way along the tunnel and had found Fritz lying among the splintered rocks, Allie clasped in his rigid arms, her body pro tected by his own. That afternoon Andy and Blakesly found a battered silver watch, an old pocketbook containing $5 and a gold nugget, all on the floor of the fifty foot level. “That is. exactly where Fritz and Al lie were lying,\ said Blakesly. “ ’Sh-h-h-h!\ whispered the foreman, slipping the purse with its contents and the watch and nugget into his pocket. “Not a word about this, Blakesly, to any living man. Leave me to deal with the matter.\ The following morning Baker was surprised to discover that his twenty dollar nugget was back in his trunk, and Higgins, when he put on bis best suit to go to Fritz’s funeral, found the pocketbook with the $5 securely stowed away in the breast of his coat. “Blamed if I didn't haul over every thing in my trunk a dozen times look ing for that chunk of gold,\ remarked Baker. “ I f it had been a snake, it would have bitten me.” “I went through the pockets of all the clothes I’ve got hunting for that purse,\ spoke up Higgins. “And to think that we ever suspected Fritz!\ “Think nothing but good of the dead, boys,\ said Andy, with feeling. “Come on! The minister is ready.\ CARIBOU MURDER. W H Y T H E Y M A R R I E D . T h e N e w foun d lan d F la h c r m e n K i l l H u n d r e d s F o r S a ltin g . Newfoundland is probably the only country In the world where venison, salted or fresh, is a staple article of diet for the masses. The coast folk make their plans with method and deliberation. From the harbors where they reside they go in their boats to the rivers and fiords which strike into the interior. When navigation is no longer possible, they debark and continue on foot to the deer country. They carry barrels filled with salt and sometimes go in large companies. When the rendezvous Is reached, they camp.

A recent writer on oriental rugs says that there is no arbitrary test by which an inexperienced person can tell a gen uine rug from a bogus one. Knots and strands mean nothing except in con nection with other important elements. Shades and spots are imitated. Wash ing the rug to discover if It has been painted over with brush and water color frequently leads only to the dis covery of a bad spot In an otherwise fine rug. The oriental dyer does his work according to his own sweet will. Between the puffs of a cigarette and the gossip of his friends he dips his material in the dye tub. Only the ex pert knowledge of the old rug buyer can be depended on. These buyers go to the great fairs on the edge of the desert, where once a year the men of the east gather to haggle together. Sometimes western buyers push Into Persia and the Caucasus to search out rare weaves in the homes of the weav ers, but the venture is always attended with some danger from native hostil ity. It is said that the annals of com merce contain greater romances than were ever woven around tales of war. IteaROim o f th e C h r o n ic C r a n k s F o r E n t e r i n g In to W e d lo c k .

Macben, superintendent of the rural delivery system of the postcffice de partment, has issued the following: The department looks to the patrons of the rural free delivery service, who ore receiving the benefits thereof, to use their utmost endeavors and alec to exert their influence with the road supervisors or with those officials who are responsible for the condition of the highways, to the end that the roads traveled by rural car riers may be always kept open and in such passable shape that the service can be regularly and punctually performed. Should the regularity of the service be needlessly destroyed as the result of inat tention and lack of care bestowed upon the highways, the permanent withdrawal of the delivery will very likely result. Rural letter carriers are required to serve their routes regularly at an seasons of the year and in every kind of weather, when it can be done without seriously imperiling their lives or endangering their conveyances or the U. S. mail which is in their custody. Patrons should clear away the snow drifts so that carriers can drive up to and reach boxes from their vehicles without dismounting. It is not a part of the ca tier’s duty to break out the roads after severe snow storms. Rural carriers are expected to energet ically try to serve their routes.even though the conditions may be extremely adverse, and any undue lack of zeal on their part should be promptly b'ought to the atten tion of this office, for such action as the merits of the case require.

When Joseph Jefferson, the famous American actor, was a boy, he used to tramp from town to town in the Unit ed States as a member of his father’s traveling company. They once struck the town of Springfield, 111 ., at a time when a great religious revival was in full swing. In the hope of preventing any play acting at such a period the town council demanded a heavy fee for permission. This was a serious matter for the strollers, who had to earn tlieir daily bread, and a local lawyer took up their case out of good will. So persua sively did he plead that the fee was not insisted on, and the performance took place.

The earliest record of the saying, “With a grain of salt,\ dates back to the year 63 B. C., when the great Pom- pey entered the palace of Mithridates and discovered among bis private pa pers the description of an antidote against poisons of all sorts, which was composed of pounded herbs. These, ac cording to the recipe, were to be taken with a grain of salt. Whether this was meant seriously or as a warning sar casm is not known, but thenceforth it became the custom to say that doubt ful preparations should be taken with a grain of salt. From this the meaning got trans ferred to sayings of doubtful truth. “Attic salt” was a Greek synonym for wit or penetration, and the Latin word “sal\ had somewhat of the same mean ing. It is thus easy to see how the saying, “Cum grano salis,” could have come to mean the necessity of accept ing doubtful or suspicious statements “with a grain of salt.\ H e r C o m p la in t . Jane was a patient in one of the large public hospitals. She boasted a cough which was more than suspected to be a \fake\ cough rather than bronchial or pulmonary. The kindly young physician in charge of the ward allowed her some harmless remedies. One day he said to her: “Ah, Jane, I fear you are a bad case of hypochrondria!” “Is that it, doether?” said Jane, much impressed. The next morning there she was again, asking for her little dose. “I’m very bad with it the day, doc- ther.” “With what?\ asked the doctor. “Wid what ye were namin’ for me yestiddy,\ she replied. “It gave me no peace at all last night.” T lte Canae o f G e y a e r a . Bunsen has explained the periodical eruption of geysers in such a satisfac tory manner that doubt is no longer possible. A cavern filled with water lies deep in the earth under the geyser, and the water in this cavern is heated by the earth’s internal heat far above 212 degrees, since there is a heavy hydro static pressure upon it arising from the weight of water in the passage or nat ural standpipe that leads from the sub terranean chamber to the surface of the earth. After a time the temperature of the water below rises, so that steam is giv en off in spite of the pressure, and the column in the exit tube is gradually forced upward. The release of pressure and the disturbance of the water then cause the contents of the subterranean chamber to flash into steam and expel the contents of the exit pipe violently. These eruptions may also be provoked by throwing stones or clods of turf into the basin of the geyser. The water in the cavern below is disturbed by this means. A L o r e P o t io n . One of the leading sources of income to the old herbalist was the compound ing of love powders for despondent swains and heartsick maidens. If a powder would not bring the desired re lief, various juices of roots and herbs were mingled in a potion and sold as the love phial. Here is an old recipe: “Mistletoe berries (not exceeding nine in number) are steeped in an equal mixtures of wine, bee, vinegar and honey. “This taken on an empty stomach be fore going to bed will cause dreams of your future destiny (provided you re tire before 32 o’clock) either on Christ mas eve or on the first and third of a new moon.” Perhaps as a lingering remnant of this absurdity there is a current notion in some parts of the world today that a whole mince pie eaten at midnight will cause the reap pearance of long departed friends, not to mention the family physician and the more interested members of the household.

The most memorable ride in English history was that of Sir Arthur Owen, which placed the Hanoverian dynasty on the throne of Great Britain. The act of settlement by which in 1701 parliament elected the house of Han over to the British throne was passed by only one vote, and this casting vote was given by Sir Arthur Owen, the member of parliament for Pembroke shire. He arrived at Westminster, dusty and travel worn, only just in time to record his vote, having ridden with furious haste from Wales for the purpose on relays of horses kept at all the posting houses along the route. To that ride Britain owes its Georgian era; hence its Queen Victoria and her descendants. A n Item In D e m a n d .

DR. E. F. BUTTERFIELD, of SYRACUSE, N. Y The Famous Clairvoyant Physician Talks ol t he Progress that das Been Made in the Treatment 01 Chronic Diseases in the Last Forty Years. Very few Doctors, who began their prac tice iorty years ago are lett to tell the story of the wayt and methods of those earlier times. The old saddle-bags contained Dover’s powder, Calomel, Pink ami tienna, the last given to the young to cure worms, and also to give proper religious bent. Bleeding, even to tne point of prostration, was an adjunct to the drug remedies. The Allopathic School held the fort for many years; it was finally changed and modified by the Homeopathic and Eclectic Schools, and the Galvanic Incubator. Taking all the different schools of med icine, including those called irregulars, the Christian Scientists, Magnetic Healers, Os teopaths have tailed to give us any surety of perfect diagnosis and treatment of disease. They make lamentable failures as yet, showing their knowledge very imper fect and not to be relied upon. We still have heart disease, sugar diabetes, Bright’s disease, dyspepsia, rheumatism, paralysis and all other various ills that seem to baffle the skill of the phys ician to rightly name the disease or perform a cure. First, we are aware that wisdom and knowledge are the result of long years of toil and research, and that deep down in human life the loftiest truths are born. Dr. Butterfield starts out from a different standpoint, basing his knowledge upom spiritual insight into the causes of you condition and the reasons for your suffer- mg. This spiritual insight is the incentive to all progress and Is the one method by which the right remedies can be used to suit the case. The Doctor has been coming to Penn Yan for eight years, and has cured hundreds of cases that have come to him as a last re sort, and he has cured where all others had failed and hope had gone. He uses vegetable remedies entirely, which are as natural as fruit, in the system. They can be taken by any one, no matter how delicate the stomach. The Doctor cures some of the worst cases of kidney and bladder trouble, enlarged liver and heart disease, dyspepsia, rheumatism and all other forms of chronic diseases. All are welcome to a free examination. His long experience is worth everything to the chronic invalid. Dr. Butterfield will be at the Knapp House. Penn Yan, N. Y. on Wednesday.
