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. ’ Inion. N|h rial (’on t 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. PITY THIS W.IMAN! 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. * To read books that require no ] i mental effort is time lost. THE MOtfTGOMJ&fiY MONITOR - THERoOAY, FEB. !?, KM REVIVAL SERVICES AT AILEY. Rf*v. VV\ C.

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?” Mortgage Sale.
