He fell asleep from exhaustion al

nnd Indorsing the sheets lie had writ

geonhole of his desk, after which, with

His wife told him to look through his

per was a dearly reasoned, correctly
phrased brief on the intricate case,
with nil the obscure points smoothed
out! He hud not the slightest recol
lection of having written the docu
ment. Another extraordinary case Is that of
a young man who. an hour or so be
fore starting on a railway Journey, paid
a visit to a steamer Iu which ids par
ents were fhtNUelnlly Interested. In
the course of the Inspection he entered
the little chamber iu the bow of the
vessel where the anchor chain Is colled
and was Impressed by the chamber's
smnllness and the cramped ipiartcrs It
would a II old a man sent down there to
superintend the paying out of the chain.
In due course the traveler went to the
railway t'talloil and engaged a snug
seat in the corner of a first class corri
dor and sleeping carriage. He had the
conipiirtnioi:! to himself. The train
had not been long on Its Journey before
the young man was sound asleep. I C lit
lie Imagined that he was awake ami.
moreover, ilial he was imprisoned In
the llllli' anchor chain compartment of
the steamer. The vessel was under
way. he thought, ami moving more rap
idly than he had ever known a steamer
to move before.
His llrst idea was to go on deck at
once, but lie could not get out of tho
cell like chamber. He could nol stand
erect even, the compartment was so
little, as lu found out ut the cost of an
Imaginary bumped head when he at
tempted to rise. Then, to his surprise,
he found that the room hud a window,
evidently n dead light, but sipmre anil
unusually large. This lie tried to raise,
but. failing, determined to break II.
thinking that lie could seize the anchor
chain und by lis aid reach the deck.
There was only one way to smash the
glass, and that was by striking It with
his clinched fist. He knew that this
would result Iu n cut hand probably,
but he risked It nil the same, for lie felt
certain now that the vessel was In a
storm und HUcly to go down any mo
ment, Iu which case lie would be
drowned llk a rat Iu n trap.
Having smashed the glass, he found
that the window was double, and he
distinctly remembers breaking the out
side pane, after which, with profusely
bleeding hands, he carefully picked out
the bits of glass remaining in the
sashes, so that he could climb out.
After removing the last reinalulng
fragment of glass from the sash he
carefully thrust his head nnd arms out
nnd began to reel for the chain. It was
nowhere to be found. Then he pulled
himself hnlf way out of the window
nnd reached upward.
To Lis great Joy. he foam) he could
rench over the edge of the dock: but. to
bis dismay. It was curved nnd smooth,
offering no projection whatever by
which he might pull himself up. That
being the case, nud not wishing to fall
Into the water and be drowned, he
painfully drew bacU Into the little
chnmber. However, he must certainly
escape or be drowned, and after get
ting his breath he would make anolher
attempt to reach the deck.
As lie lay panting nnd frightened he
accidentally reached hi the direction
nwny from the deadlight. To his sur
prise, he touched a swaying window
blind, nnd the next moment he found
himself lying on the floor of the corri
dor of the oiinislilng train, with a win

They were telling mining stories In
the conn house, nnd Dee Keesc, tho
lawyer, asked:
"Did you ever hear of the lost lode
of the Core range?"
The other lawyers sitting mound
lilm said ihey had never heard of It
nnd then united for lilm to begin. Mr.
Keese borrowed a fresh chew or tobac
co and told ilils story:
"Hundreds of experienced and Inex

a rrent deal of time and money looting
for the lost lode of the Core, range,
nnd they n'e scutching for It yet.
This famous mine was found mid lost

from Iowa visited llonti county. Colo.,
In the f:il of isiiii on a hunt lug and
lishlng trip The party niiiile Its
heaiiiiarteis at Steamboat Springs.
In the latter part or October the party
moved up and went Into camp on

old miner before he left l.iwa not lo be
fooled, as many n lende.iooi bad been,
by what Is known as 'fool's gold.' or
Iron pyrites. So this druggist pa d no
attention to the ruck:., inn attended
strictly to his hunting ami lishlng.
"One afternoon while hunting lor
deer he started a line buck and tired nt
him nnd wounded lilm. The buck fell,
but gut up and run before the druggist
could get to til in. - Where lie fell was n
pool of blood, which .showed that ho
was badly wounded. The hunter trailed
him by the blood spots on the dead
leaves and grass for a mile aud there
found where the buck had lain down
and then rising had gone on again. Iu
this way the chase conllnucd until
sundown, and then the hunter, who
was exhausted, sat down on an out
cropping ledge of rocks to rest.
"In the enthusiasm nf the chase he
bad not noted which way lie traveled,
mid he reallx.ed that he was lost In the
heavily timbered mountains, with
night coming on. He knew it would
be useless lo try and find the camp
thin night, so he gathered a pile of
.dead limbs and kindled a lire against
the ledge of rocks aud laid dow n wilh
his feet to the blu.e and prepared to
sleep. While lying there he noticed
the rocks sparkled iu the firelight. He
got up ami examined ll. supposing it
was tlie i'iiol'M gold' he had been warn

pretty that he broke oil' several pieces
and put them In the pocket or his
hunting coat. Intending to carry them
back to Iowa W illi him as curiosities.
"The next day he wandered all the
forenoon, and I lieu found the Core
puss road over the range aud followed
It to the camp. That very a I'tciiiootl
a regular mountain snowstorm began,
nnd the party broke camp, returned to
Steamboat Springs and l'roni there
went east.

'".Mau. that's the richest specimen

STAMTFD A PRAIRIE FIRE, j
An Aroij- OlMecr tnmril tho Worst
One hnotvit In KtiimnN.
The gi"i,i,-n prairie lire known III!
Kansas was l:i (he year ISill. and It!
win set out by in o,.i.-er of the United i
Slates government.
one day In 1 s ;;j he a:ul n pnrty of
nfliccrs from Port Hays were returning
from a wild turkey limit in the can
yons of the Saline. The wind was
blowing a hurricane, nnd when a slop
was 1 1 1. -lie on I he high prairie some ten
miles north of Hays this oilier hv
liberalely touched a mntch to the dry,
crisp grass In order to make n spec
tacle. When the other ollleers saw
what he was a I unit to do, they made a
desperate elVort to stop him, but the
deed had been done, and the red
flames were reeling across the prairie
like a frightened antelope. That lire
swept from where It had been started
dear across Kansas Into what Is How
Oklahoma. The flreams and roads,
offered no obstacles to It whatever.'
While going sci. Hi It had also turned to
the east and left a trail of ruin across
Kicc, Keiiii. Kingman. Harper anil oth
er counties. Thousands of settlers
were burned out, losing their houses
mid (heir feed, their horses and cattle.
If the man who set that lire hnd been
known in the settlers, all the troops on
the plains would not have been enough
to stay their vengeance. As It was, he
siilYeroil remorse beyond description.
When the ollleers at Hays would bring
him papers, telling of the damage
done, he would groan and curse hlm
scir roundly. He left Hays for soino
other post In the following year, and,
so far ns we know, his tiame was nev
er connected with the gigantic prabio
lire of ISO!). Kansas City Journal.

"The fact appears to be that we nre

We mean well in a feeble sort of way,

when we strike that, when that be

The Youth's Companion says that the
descendant of a New Kuglnnd Puritan
divine has Iu his possession an old ser
moil written by his ancestor which
shows that the preacher did not trust
entirely to the impulse of the moment
when delivering his discourses. The
manuscript Is written In a strange,
crabbed hand und plentifully besprin
kled with marginal references. "Head
slowly here." the minister admonishes
himself lu one spot, and "to be given
out very loud nud clear" Is the sug
gestion for another passage. "Hurry
a little, with tire." he wrote In several
places. The most emphatic . and Im
portant part of the whole sermon Is
Indicated by a much underlined mar
ginal note.
After homing stories of this saintly
old lime preacher It Is amusing to
know that lie deemed It wise und even
necessary nt the climax of his elo
quence lo "yell like one possessed."
