Address, |i J, A.YEU CO., Lowell, Mom. | E2,- 7 Ho Had bome Evidence. Laying upon the altar a revolver and his kit of 'burglar tools as evi dence of his good faith William Ilill startled the fiOO persons who wore attending religious services at the Pacific Garden Mission, 100 Van Bur en street, last night, by confessing that he was a t'hief, but now desired to turn from evil ways and live a Christian life. The Rev. J. S. Det wiler of St. Paul, and Assistant Ilarry Monroe of the mission, had been preaching and the latter had just fin ished Ids address when the self-con fessed burglar walked to tho altar. "Friends." lie said, "I have been cracking safes, robbing stores and picking pockets a good many years [ for a living. I have served terms in Sing Sing and Joliet. But to night I am going to end my criminal career and start out 011 a new life. I was walking along State s'reet to-night when I heard the men speaking from your Gospel wagon. They said some thing that seemed to touch me. I fol lowed the wagon hero and entered with the crowd. The more 1 heard the more I became convinced that this Is the time for me to reform. I want you people to help give me a start in the right direction. I have found It easier to steal than to work, hut now 1 want to work for my living, and if you will help nie I will work for your mission." This significant conversation was received with the greatest enthusiasm. The man left at the close of the meet ing, first promising Mr. Monroe to re turn to-day, when an effort will be made to get him work. True to his promise Hill appeared at the office of the Pacific Garden Mission to-day and declared that he had net repented his resolution, but f was rather more firmly determined to [ gain ail honest livelihood.

How could such a land help having stories? Its memories carry hack so far. Why, when cur Declaration of Independence wa3 only an air castle, the Cornish tongue was in the death-throes of a great age. And such memories! There stand the Lo gan stones, and the circles and cairns and cromlechs of the Druids, to recall human sacrifices and awful impreca tion; there is the surf roaring on three shores about many generations of pir ates and smugglers and wrecks; there arij the mines tunneling far under sea, and alive, of course, with goblins; there are the rugged hills to speak "in no uncertain tongue" of poverty and toil; and there are the pleasant val leys, duchy lands since tho famous Black Prince was named their duke. And then the winds! When they howl around tho edge of a great cliff or whistle from the black mouth of a mine or come thrashing the woods of the valleys, superstition grips the stoutest heart; there is no room for doubts about tho genii and that ilk. and —delicious fascination of terror— the victim would not doubt if he could. But the stories are not all of this dread east, and one of the other kind is our bee story. It oegins with an oid woman that lived in a wood. She kept a hive of bee 3, and though the lltttle creatures were as busy in fair weather as any proverb could expect, they ob jected seriously to the cold winds of Cornwall and to its ruins. Indeed, even folk that carry umbrellas com plain sometimes of those rains. You see, there's the breeze of the English Channel whipping in her clouds, and tho Bristol Channel wind whipping in more; so between thorn the little cor nucopia—Cornubin. the Romans called it —is pretty well drenched. The stur dy good nature of the Cornishmen shows in their adage—no grumble, but rather a jolly boast—that "Cornwall will hear a shower every day of tho week, and two on Sunday." No won der our oid woman's bees lingered in their hive occasionally. This did not please the mistress. She was'not only greedily fond of honey, but sha had one of these unfortunate dispositions that are made unhappy by other folk's holidays. The bees were her only ser vants, and rain or sliine, storm or calm, sho wished t'nem to be at work If she could have managed it no doubt sho would have given them some se vere whippings, but she had learned the lesson of their sharp weapons, and on one occasion they had terribly frightened her by threatening to move out; so she was extremely polite to their faces and kept her garden radiant with their best-loved llowers. Only, in secret, she scolded, and puzzled her wits to break up those holidays. Finally she recalled an old super stition, a saying that the bread blessed for the church would quicken the Ufa even of a bee; eating it he would live longer, make better honey and more of it. So she did not hesitaate to make a test, this greedy old creature. There was no church for miles, but two or three times a year there would come a priest to hold services in one of the peasant houses, or, if the house were too small, he would stand in ths doorway while his flock gathered out side. The next time she came back from a priest day one hand was hidden under her shawl. She opened it on the little shelf before the hive. A cold wind was blowing from tile sea and the bees were al! indoors; but as the old woman stepped back she chuckled; there was a humming, fluttering sweep and all the swarm novcred over the bit of stolen bread. Jubilant she went in to cook her supper. But bitter chagrin was in store. When sho looked again, she found the bees work ing, working with all their little might and humming happily, as if they were singing a psalm, hut they were not making honey, not a bit. She stood and stared. As days went by she wrung her hands, but she dared not in terrupt the bees. And what do you think they were building? Why, a pretty little shrine of wax over that bit of bread! Thus, even the bees of Cornwall, so the legend runs, rebuke greed and irreverence.—E. E. Garnett. nmt or Fierce Gray Wolve*. Lib Vincent, one of Wyoming's old time cowpunchers and now riding on the Powder river ranges, says that the gray wolves of his section are legion in number and fearless as they are ferocious. These gray and greedy scourges of the Powder river stock areas do their raiding in bands rang ing in numbers from six to 30, each band being organized and disciplined ■ under the leadership of an old dog wolf especially chosen for his wariness, speed and endurance. To this captain these gaunt and grizzzly marauders yield an implicit and unswerving obe dience—a statement well evidenced from the fact that if one of these wolf leaders is slain or crippled his band at once amalgamates with some other troop possessing a leader of like capacity. The age or size of their quarry is of little moment with theso wolves, as they pull down and devour alike cows, calves, steers, mares, colts, and geldings. Their attack is always strategical and systematic, one portion of the band assaulting from the front and fastening on to shoulder, ear, or muzzle, and thus giving the big wild gray dogs who are ever closing in from the rear the objective opportunity of hamstringing the victim. Once ham strung it is all over with the quarry, and the entire band feasts at leisure. Mr. Vincent has often seen on the Powder river ranges the mere empty hide and polished bones of what was once a lusty steer or vigorous gelding as sad souvenirs of the raid of a gray wolf band. The cattle herds are open and easy prey to the bold canine band its, the cattle fleeing from the pursuers and thus rendering individual attack easy and successful. The horses, how ever, with their superior intelligence, very frequently beat off tho wolves by forming on the open ground an equine square with the mares and colts in tho center, the gallant stallions on the cor ners and the best and bravest geldings distributed on the other lines of de fense. Not only do these equine squares frequently beat off their assail ants, but tliey sometimes rout the wild dogs entirely, slaying numbers of them by striking, kicking, and trampling. This is an especial result when tho horse herd has with it a stallion ex perienced in range life. He can smell a wolf farther than he can see him, and at his shrill and warning neigh the herd rushes together and quickly forms the protecting square. The wolves fully appreciate the fact, and instances have been known of a gray band numbering scores of raiders trotting leisurely around one of these embattled equine squares and then seeking other and easier prey. The gray wolf reaches a weight of 125 pounds, and boasts alike brain, brawn, a noiseless and tirelss foot, a savage ferocity, and an insatiable appetite. It is said of him that he can run longer and easier, eat oftener and more, and display more cunning and ferocity in a given length of time than any other known animal. He is a prolific breed er, eight or ten pups being not an un common litter, while there is a Powder river instance of 35 pups being slain as ihe progeny of three gray wolf dams. Up to six months old the gray wolf pup is awkward and unwieldy, and it Is a favorite cowboy pastime of the Powder river ranges to locate a gray wolf litter on the praric and shoot the pups from horseback as they skulklngly roll and tumble from their coverts in the grass and sagebrush. Crack shotr. with the pistol have" been known to get a pup With every bullet from their six-shooters. Antelope are still very plentiful in the Powder river region, bands of 100 and 500 being fre .i a Ceil. HU F2r.it (illuipio of It. A Chicago man who is fortunate enough to live up on the north shore where the sun /bines and tho birds sing has a boy between 3 and 4 years old, who had never been down town until one day last week, when his fa ther brought him down on an elevated train. The child was delighted at what he saw from the window of the car while it sped along high above tho heads of the people in the street. At Chicago avenue the elevated road curves so that the trains run east and west, and here the child, looking from the car window, had his first glimpse of the business district of his native 'city. He looked, full of wonder for a moment, and then asked: "Father, what makes all the smoke?
