WROTE THE EPITAPH OF HIS VICTIM.
Senile, \Va#h., Jan. 23. — H<*
ruliltcil in\ cache and I allot Inm. *
Such m l lie startling inscription
on the headstone of a newly-made
grave at Purgatory, on tin- banka
of the Yukou, KM union la*low
Foil Yukon.
Recent arrivals from Gibson
brin)'tln; news of tin* foregoing
grim wav that lliu leading citizen
of Purgatory took of announcing
that In* had murdered a man and
had burned him in front of bin
residence, A party was on its
way to the boat, and some of the
women swooned when they read
tin* uncanny sign over tin* grave
of the victim of the man who had
<}ari*d to take tlie law into his own
hands and then had dared to an
nounce boldly tln* tact in simple,
broad italics.
Kven to t lu ni t lie weird method
of raising a moral over the bonus
of a slaiigtered t respusser sent a
oh til up and down tin* back.
When Yannert of Purgatory saw
tin- party In* stoppl'd forward
from his cabin with smiles, <x
t.-tided Ins baud, the hand guilty
of t!ie grim propotrution. Yan
nert smiled, and those who had
been used to reading thrilling
tales of how there is a gleam in a
murderer's eye and a cynical or
haughty smile nil the man's face
believed they could see all this in
Yannert,'s make-up. They even
believed t hat there may have been
something of the demon in his
composition, parth*iilary when lie
pointed to the grave and said:
“Yep, 1 did it, with mv little
gun. I enn not toll a lie.”
Then Yannert smiled, “And,”
lie added, “while lie’s probably
in the hot place, ’’ pointing to the
grave, “I’m in Purgatory. Hut
lam also on earth. Purgatory is
mv home, but there are some
cache thieves who have gone
where no tii" (jiienehes, and there
may la* more if the uuwriten laws
of Yukon are not more carefully
obson od. ’

Our little village of LucienvilL*
continues t> prosper. Several new
dwellings near by are being erect
ed which will necessitate changes
and new comers in the vicinity.
We understand that Mr. John Yar
brough and family of Helena are
soon to move in our midst.
The farmers are very busy pul
verizing the soil and making ready
for the spring planting. Some
have already received their crates
for packing cantaloupes and mel
ons,
.Mr. A. T. Rhodes and little son,
T. L., are very ill at tins writing.
The touchers of this place, Miss
is Julia Edwards and Cornelia
Walker, were entertained Satur
day night and Sunday at the homo
of Ml. and Mrs. .). J. Hinson.
Messrs. James mid Henry Kemp
left on Monday to visit their pa
rents in South Carolina,
It seems that Gordon Elkins is
making his business trips to Ailoy
quite often : he went again Sun
day, aocompied by Ins brother,
Eeon. Strange that these trips an*
made so often and always on Sun
day.
Notwithstanding the cold wind
of the first Sunday in this month,
quite a number were present at
Hay Springs to hear the able dis
course delivered by Rev. Hines.
Several ol'the young people of
this place attended the singing at
J«mig branch Sunday afternoon.
The school here continues to
prosper, the enrollment is 107 with
more expected.
Thirty new books were added to
the library this week. —V.
An exchange says: We know a
remarkable woman who is teach
ing a little country school. Some
day she will marry a little old
ten-cent man and sjietul the rest
of her life in retirement. If that
woman were a man, her ability
and strength of character would
bring her to the front. No man
of ability is neglected : many wo
men of ability spend their lives in
obscurity.

HUSBAND OUT NT&HTS.
Chicago, Feb. B—A 'woman's
scheme of gngging And binding
herself, bands and set-u, to the legs
of a sewing machine and table,
after scattering the contents of
bureau drawers over the floor, all
for the' purpose ot winning the
sympathy of her husband who
went to chinch meetings instead
of staying home of nights, was
brought to tiie attention of the
■police last night.
Mi*. Christina Koesing, a bride
ot a few months, was the woman.
She is the wife of Albert bossing,
i butterine maker.
Mr. bossing left bouse lust even
ing to attend a churli meeting
and when ho returned two hours
later, lie found Ins wife in the
I predicament described übove.
Alter sin* had been revived by a
| physician she said two burglars
1 had entered the house and bound
! her.
| bossing notified the polico and
three detectives were sent to in*
! vesMgate. To them tho woman
ropeutep the story she had told
her hhshuml, adding u toogruphic
description of the two men. It
was t his minute description that
led to Huspiotion. After u little
questioning, sue said:
“I was not robbed at nil. I
just pretended it to win the sym
pathy of inv husband und get him
to stay home witn me at night.”
GHAMPION PIG STICKER.
St. Haul, Minn., Fob. 8. —As
tin* climax of an exceptionally
heavy run of hogs which has been
pouring into the big South St.
Haul market for nearly a month,
tin* Swift plant has broken all re
cords by establishing a new high
li*v<*l of 0,100 hogs killed, dressed
and sent to tin* colling rooms in
ten hours, and a new record of 81,
000 hogs killed and dressed in a
single week.
Throughout the record day
Adolf /inert, a slender, pale-faced
German, stood on his platform
| just m front of the huge death
wheel that picks up the swine
and sends them to their death,
killing slightly more than ten of
tin* animals each minute.
/inert, who has followed his
gruesome occupation tor ten years,
is just comploteing a personal re
cord of 5,000,000 hogs dead under
the stroke of his thiti, keen knife,
lie is a man of mild anil agrceublc
j manner, of considerable educa
t ion, and during Ins leisure hours,
devotes himself with rare enthus
iasm to tin* skillful care of mi ex- j
ce**dingly productive tiftoen-acre I
fgrin near the plant.
DR. FRANK CRANE’S EPIPRAM'S.
riu* end of true culture is jK*ace ,
with one's self: to have establish
ed u modus vivemli; not to be j
blown about between good imp
bad, but to have a practicable
path through the mystery of
things.
\Vo begin lib* ns little animals;
we should end as great souls.
All inward unhappiness can be
i definitely traced to selfishness; no
unselfish person can be thorough
ly unhappy.
The sellish man is pitied against |
Ja selfish world, infinitely stronger i
iluin he, and against which he has
, no hope of success.
When a selfish man succeeds in j
becoming happy, it is only at the
price of the unhappiness of others, i
Life is too short and the prices j
of selfishness too close and t«K> al- !
luring; you cannot hope to attain i
nobility without belief in heuveu
anil God.
There is no happiness so long as ;
w»* are impatient.
There is an element of vulgarity
ill anv jewelry.
The savage Indian in his tent
of skins, and the multi-million-
Him in his mess of bric-a-brac, j
are equally removed from true;
culture. Nobility lies m the diffi
cult middle wav.

TOO GREAT A RISK.
Although the trump hud seen a
great deal of life, he was no judge
of character, otherwise he would
not have suid what he did to Miss
(Jorncliu Hawkins, says the
Youth’s Companion. When she
said that she would give him a
good dinner if he would saw* und
split enough wood to pay her for
it, he attempted to appeal to her
aymputhy.
“Madam,” he replied sadly,
“I’d lieglud to buw and split the
wood—l’d be glad to do anything,
but I am not physically strong. I
have a weak heart. You see, 1
carry my life in my huuds, as it
were,” he said, with whut was
mount for a wan, pathetic smile.
“Indeed 1” and Miss Hawkins
gave an incredulous sniff ns she
glanced ut palms outstretched for
aid. “I suppose that’s the reason
I you won’t wash ’em—for fear of
getting drowned?”
