EVERLASTING FIRE.
Iloiv tlio Parson Lost His Klondike
Flock,
"It appears to me," remarked the
Rev. Mr. Tender Foote to one of his
parishioners, "that there has been a
sudden falling off in the attendance at
our of worship. Have you any
idea as to what may be the cause of
this defection?"
"Wal, parson," replied Chikoot
Charlie, the person to whom these re
marks were addressed. "I reckon I
could make a purty close guess at the
reason why the boys hev quit goin' to
church. The fact 16 I don't think yer
hit It jest right in yer sermon Sunday
afore last."
indeed!" exclaimed the dominie. "I
rather prided myself upon that sermon,
l-aihre prided myself upon that sermon.
What fault do they find with it? Was
it not orthodox?"
"You've got me thar, parson. Not
boln' a connosoor in seeh things, I
hain't exactly say whether it wuz or-
Ihydox er homepath, but anyway it
SHUCK me ez not beln' pertickler well'
suited to thcr needs of this here com
munity."
"All, I see. I presume I failed to
clothe my thoughts iu sufficiently sim
ple language."
"No, that wasn't the trouble, par
son. The boys ain't so slow but what
they kin savvy most any kind of talk,
even tf they air a lettle ltecrle6s about
their own langwidge; but that sermon
cZ yourn wasn't exactly the kind that
would make 'em want ter fuller the
straight an' narrow path, if you'll ex
cuse me ter belli' so free. Ye see, yer
laid It on purty thick about the Noo
Jeiulalcm bein' paved with gold an'
a!! that, an' then ye went on ter say
that the other place wuz full of ever
lastin' lire."
"But surely there is nothing wrcng in
that."
"Mebbe not, parson, mebbe not. I
don't say but what that kind of talk
might ketch the people in the States,
but up here in the Klondike coun
try it's different. I licerd some of the
boys sayin' after the sermon that if it
come to a choice between gold pave
ments an' everlasting' fire they'd take
the fire ev'ry time. An' ye kain't blame
'em neither, considerin' that the ther
mometer is down to fifty below zero
an' still a droppin' . "
A Klondike ICiilsode.
Frcst-Bitten Pete was lounging in a
corner of the bar of the Glazier House,
taking no interest in the jollification
that was in progress. A tenderfoot who I
had just eoin6 shivering over the trail
was being warmed up by a gang of
choice spirits who kept him busy danc
ing and swallowing chunks of frozen
rhiskey. As the new-comer warmed up
and the deadly-liquor began to thaw
he became desperate, and with a quick
twist of his hand whipped a revolver
front his pocket. It was as pretty a
22-calll>re revolver as was ever seen on !
the Klondike.
With a blood-curdling roar Frost- :
Bitten Pete jumped into the crowd audi i
caught the tenderfoot by the wrist. |
"Gimme that!" he said grasping at
the enamelled toy.
The startled tenderfoot made no re
sistance.
"Here," said the burly desperado,
handing over a small repeating cannon
that he drew from his belt; "don't
ay that I disarmed you. If you wajii*
to mix with these gentlemen go on.
I just want the loan of this little thing
until to-morrow morning, for Ava
lanche Sail has agreed to accept a pair
of earrings I have made for her if I
will pierce her ears for her, and I think
this little thing will do the trick toi
perfection."
This public aonfession that he was in
love accounted for his quietness during
the first part pf the jollification, and as
>he tendering was quick-witted e nough
to ask all handß to drink to the pros
pective bride, what might have been a
tragedy ended in a glorious drunk.—

Wants Ilia Leg Hack.
After thirty years of hobbling about
the world on crutches, General Daniel
13. Sickles is about to petition the Gov
ernment he fought for to give back to
hiiu his leg.
He lost it in "Bloody Angle," at Get
tysburg. It found its way by devious
•ways into the Army Museum at Wash
ington.
Blackened with the erosion of years,
stripped ti'wn to th e bare and shatter
ed bones, it hangs on two brass rods,
cheek by jowl with the articulated
skeleton of a walrus.
Here every year the old General seeks
it out, gazing dumbly at it, with an un
utteraole longing to have it buried, as
the dead past which it represents is
buried.
"It is my leg," the old hero argues,
"and it belong! to me now just as much
as it did when my battaliDn went into
action on the second day of Gettys
burg." <3
There Is no label upon the leg of the
Major General to blazon these facts to
the public, for, as a matter of fact, the
Army Medical Museum at Washington
t> es not encourage amateur investiga
tion into either its records or its speci
men cases. The leg has no place of
special prominence. It is simply in the
"shot fracture" case with a lot of oth
ers. and only its size and character dis
tinguish it. But General Sickles knows
| that it is his, and, whether from senti
\ . ment or superstition, he wants it. He
will, it is said, petition Congress to re-
I store the member, if the museum au
thorities continue to hold it against his
will.

PAT AND TH*i ADMIRAL
Or Uov a Situation Win Saved by Irlsli
Wit.
A strict rule promulgated by every
successive commandant at the Navy
Yard prohibits smoking on Mare Island
under the moat stringent penalties.
Admiral Miller, sauntering one recent
afternoon through a distant part of the
island, says the San Francisco Wave,
came upon an Irish Laborer digging a
trench, and smoking a short, blacn
pipe* He was puffing away serenely, 1
unconscious of the regulations and with
ev.dent enjoymcut. The Admiral, who
was in undress uniform, slopped.
"iJon't you know, sir, that smoking
is absolutely prohibited in tlie Navy
Yard?" he said.
The Irishman looked up and, with a
kindly smile, answered:
"In'dade, that's true, but here am I i
all be meself. wid not a sowl to say a I
wurrud to, and I thought I'd take a puff
or two to re'ave the silence."
"The regulations are explicit, sir," |
rebuked the Admiral, "and the silence i
does not excuse you. What's your j
name, s'r?"
"An' who may you be, anyway?" ask- ;
cd the Irishman.
"I'm Admiral Miller."
"Ah, 'tis the new Armiral y e are. .
'Tis the fat job ye have, Admiral. Bci,
careful to kape it. Me name's Pat Mc- j
Ginuis."
' Heport at my ofilce this afternoon
w' hi.ut fail, McGinnis," said Miller,
who could hardly keep from laughing, j
At five o'clock poor Patrick, who had
made up his mind there would be the
devil to pay, tramped over to headquar
ters, and the orderly ushered him into
the dreaded presence of the Admiral,
who "aid:
"Sit down, Pat."
Pat eat down. Miller touched a bell.
Th? orderly appeared.
"Bring a bottle of champagne and
two glasses," he said.
Not a word was spoken until the
wine arrived. The Admiral filled the
two glasses and pushed one over to
ward the Irishman.
"Pat," he said, "give mo the pipe.
You'll not need it again." j
The mystified laborer obeyed.
"Now," said the Admiral, "drink
hearty, Pat, but you'll keep your job as
long as I'll keep mine."
Nor is this the first situation saved
by Irish wit. i

James, during his boyhood days,"Whs
what is termed a clever "sidewalk com
edian"—that is, he was a great enter
tainer and jolly good fellow among his
associates. About twelve years ago the
idea of amateur nights at the museums,
then in their prime, was suggested, and
many who had, and many who hadn't, 1
talent were induced to make an appear
ance on the museum stage. Cook got i
mixed up with one of these assemblages
one night, and as he could dance and
sing a bit and tell what he thought
were funny stories, he decided to give
himself a trial. Manager Frank Drew,
who on these occasions was more par
ticular to secure bad talent, and the
worse the better, than he was to have
good, readily consented to Mr. Cook's
proposition. The act was so bad it was
funny, but Mr. Cook thought it was all |
right, for alter that he insisted upon gt- ,
ing on at every performance, there being '
ten or each day. To this ar
rangemcnftlr. Drew seriously objected, |
but the objection cut no ice with Jim- |
my. He went on just the same, and I
kept doing so, until he became a per- \
feet pest about the museum; so much 1
EO, in fact, that Mr. Drew was finally J
obliged to hire an extra man to keep '
him off the stage. This was twelve :
years ago and it is quite different now. i

' The following story from the St.
Louts Globe Democrat illustrates sev

When J. W. Sherwood, now general 1
snperintendend of the Clover Leaf, was j
superintendent of the Big Four, he had j
to discharge a brakeman for violation |
of rules. The man hung about the of- j
iice, asking for a letter of recommenda
tion. To get rid of him, Mr. Sherwood |
told W. A. Sullivan, who was his chief
clerk, to write the letter. This Mr. Sul
livan did. The man went out, and re
turned in halt an hour.
"What's the matter now?" asked Mr.
Sherwood.
"That letter you gave me Is all right,
isn't it?"
"Of course It Is. That ought to gel
you a job anywhere."
"Well, I wish you would read this
letter of recommendation I've got, Mr
Sherwood, and give me a Job.',
Sherwiood took the letter on which
his own name was hardly dry, road it
carefully, and remarked:
"I am well acquainted with Sher-,
wood, and any one he recommends
must be all right. You report to the ,
trainmaster, and tell him to put.you tc .

THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA.
| WHISTLED ANNIE LAURIE.
' He Tkeu Proceeded to Clean Out the
Clinic.
Dr. Edward Rlcketts, of Clncinati, Is
one of the largest men physically and
! mentally in the Southern Surgical and
•' gynecological association. He is known
| as a daring and skillful operator, and
: has achieved reputation by his contri
i buttons to medical journals on abdom
inal surgery. Those who know the doc
j xcr say he is as brave ordinarily as
j Julius CeaEhr. Yet, like the Styx-dip
ped Achilles, he has a vulnerable spot.
The story told on the general surgeon
I come from his ho<mc, Clncinati. He
! was invited by a fellow physic,an to be
present at a peculiarly difficult demon
j stration. Rr. Rlcketts was late in ar
i riving, and was forced to take a posi-
I tlon on the outer edge of the circle of
j doctors and students. Nothing had
I been said about the condition of the
1 subject, and he supposed it was a cad
| aver. The figure was that of a giant)
Teuton, and to all appearances was per
! fectly rigid. Not a muscle stirred and
j no breathing was perceptible.
| The location of the operation was
I exposed, and the operator, grasping
j his knife, advanced to the patient. As
J the cold steel touched the flesh, a startl
! ing thing happened. From beneath tho
' flaxen mustache of the form on tho
; table the familiar notes of "Annio
i Laurie," whistled clearly distinctly.
' The effect on the company was electri
cal. The operating surgeon's knife fell
: with a rattle to the floor, the students
; rushed for the door, and the older phy
sicians 6tood transttxed with amaze
ment. Clear and sweet came the notes
of the old song, even to the last bar.
Then the tune was switched to "Die
Waeht am Rhein." By the time this
| was completed the room was empty of
! students, but the veteran physicians
remained at their posts. Suddenly the
' subject sat up. As he gazed over the
row. of white-aproned figures a wild
light sprang into his eyes. With a yell
he leaped from the table, and dealt the
nearest physician a stunning blow in
the face; then he attacked the others.
Chairs, table 3 hook cases were demol
ished.
j The physicians got outside and wait
ed the cooling of the German's pass.on.
Gradually be became calmer until at
last he sank exhausted in a chair. The
medical men advanced in a body aud
demanded an explanation. The patient
i could give none. For a time he was
j crazy. Dr. R'.cketts was informed that
the man had been under the influence
| of an anaesthetic aud was asked to as
sist in the operation.
| The patient insisted that the work
I go on, and chloroform was substituted
I lor ether. The knives were brous'ht
cut ar.d an incision was about to bo
made, v. baa the second time, the strains
oi' "Annie Laurie" feil upon the ear 3 of
the company. This time there was no
i delay. Everybody except Dr. Ricketts
j 3ed 10 the stieet. A few moments later
he too. had to seek refuge from the
huge fist of the German, who was again
on the rampage. After this second
; outbreak the demonstration was aban
! cloned. The strange consequences of
| the anaesthetic were never satisfacto
rily explained by the med.c.il fraternity,
but to thi3 day Dr. Rlcketts cannot
hear the strains of the old Scotch sing
without quaking in his shoes and dodg
ing imaginary blows.—St. Louis I'ost-
Dispatch.
Retrod Up for tlio Winter.
Teachers in the public schools of a
Ifrge city hear many stories, some of
them amusing, some of them pathetic.
A young woman who teaches in a kind
ergarten in Boston, upon learning that
one of her pupils was sick, went to visit
her.
The teacher had been to Katie's home
before, and so had no difficulty in find
ing the two little rooms at the top of
a tenement house where Katie and her
mother lived. The mother was absent,
and Katie, well wrapped up, was sitting
up in bed.
After the usual inquiries and condo
lences, the teacher noticed that the lit
tle girl seemed to speak with some
difficulty, and said:
"Katie, I am going to examine your
lungs."
"Yes'm," responded the child , duti
fully, and Miss C. began to loosen the
child's waist. After removing it, shd
found layer after layer of flannel, which
she unfastened with some difficulty.
Satisfying herself that there was no
danger of pneumonia, she began to re
place the child's dress, when Katie be
gan to cry.
"Mother'll be awful mad at you when
che gets home and finds what you've
done."
"Why, Katie, what have I done?"
"You've unfastened all my flannels,
and ma had just got me sewed up for
the winter."—Youth's Companion.
Tlio Ulncovvry of Gold '
Measures are being taken to mako
the parade of the golden Jubilee, cele
brating the discovery of gold in Cali
fornia, the finest pageant ever seen on
this coast, says a correspondent in the
New York Tribune. Prizes will be of
fered for the most artistic floats, and
every effort will be made to give a rea
listic history of the state. All survivors
of pioneer days will have places in tho
procession, and there will be a liberal
representation of cowboys, Mexican
vaqueros, Indians and prospectors.
Probably the generation will be a re
production of an old emigrant train,
with actual "prairie schooners" used by
the pioneers, and with real Indians who
formerly harassed the emigrants and
attacked them when they were careless
or weak in numbers. Another feature
of the parade that will commend it, es
pecially to tourists, is the Chinese di
vision. The orientals will turn out in
full force, and they promise to furnish
a spectacle greater than ever been seen
here on a Chinese New Year.
A Moimtor Gun.
They are now building a gun for
Uncle Sam which will weight 126.000
tons and will cost $250,000. The projec
rtle wil weight 2,300 pounds and it will
take a smal car load of powder bo lino
a shot. It will throw tho projectile as
far as fifteen miles. The gun is to be
part of the New York harbor defenses.
Such a gun will smash the best iron
clad In the waters. It will be Impossi
ble for any vessel to enter the harbor,
ior the defense of the city it is worth
a whole fleet at eea. The ingot from
which the gun will be made Is 6Vi feet

A Minister's
Trials.
This narrative from a minister is of greatest value
to those whose nerves are unstrung, health shattered
or otherwise ailing. It is partiailarly appropriate in
this age of active, nervous, endless labor.
We are living too fast. " Fast as light
ning," expresses it, for we talk by elec
tricity, cook by electricity, travel by
electricity and so on.
Its a hurry, hurry, hurry from the cradle
to the grave.
We crowd too much ; crowd our work,
crowd our eating, crowd our pleasure,
crowd our sleeping.
A " breaking down of the nervous sys
tem " is the way of expressing the result.
It means a depleting of the nerves in
duced by prolonged strain ; overtaxing of
the nervous system; a product of over
hurry and bustle.
It affects all people in all walks of life.
It baffles physicians of all schools.
No one knows the horrors of such a
condition better than Rev. J. N. Mc-
Cread/, of Elkton, Mich. For years he
labored faithfully and well. He was pro
gressive and aggressive; a leader among
men, a deep thinker and a hard warker.
In his zeal, he overworked; overtaxed
his mental and physical strength.
The outlook was dark, with health shat
tered and recovery apparently hopeless.
Many means for a cure were tried, with
out receiving benefit.
Finally he took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People and was restored to health.
He says:
"In April, 1896, the physicians said I
must stop preaching or die.
" I had overtaxed myself and was suf
fering from a complete breaking down of
my nervous system and a persistent stom
ach trouble.
