BETTING ON DEATH.
That ib a cynical bu&iuess, which
l.up peued in. connection with the
automobile races &i Indianapolis.
1'ue chief interest in that race seem
ed to binge ui\>n Uie expectation of
I -igedy that would result in death.
I'Ue entire aitair was the devek>p
aient of speeu luaancss to a pitch
v jvi?s the possible, and, indeed, the|
prooabk- sacru:ce of life was an iu
ciutntal aitair. Though incidental, it
?as not, however, uninteresting, it
U4s inauo an clement in the sport
of the occasion, a basis for odds
'n the matter of bookmaking, a
c? gnant manifestation of heart
lcssncss whi.h the spirit that p romp La
inhibitions Uke that at ludianapoiis
w :11 lead, to every tune.
As we grow rich we show certain
tendencies u> grow barbarous. We
substitute recklessness for courage,
and then bet with develish cynicism
ou the probable evil evidences of
our recession toward the brute. ? j

THE GRAVES AT MILE CANYON;
1899.
is. Hall Youug.)
^h GoU! what loneliness! This un
kept mound,
Haru by the sulleu Canyon's column
ed wall.
When-, day and night, with cease
less stress ol sound,
The angrj torrent's thunder-voices
call.
l-i a\e soldiers, they, of fortune;
hardy sou's,
heckles* of un'ried perils in the
North.
' Toward fields of boundless wealth
the Yukon flows.
A coward, ne, who fears to ven
ture forth."
The Canyon* mouth, thickset with
teeth of rock,
Ku?uJfcd them. Giant hands reach
ed out and smotu
And flung them, reeling. Shock suc
ceeded shock,
Tostung like autumn k>af their sturdy
boat.
Til] Quick, far down the Hand's dU
sy whirl,
lh> mad WrilTK HORSE flings high
hi* auowy mane,
lie paws the rocks ia fury; spray -
wreaths curl
AqJ weave aboxe him, break, and
form again.
A shock! soarae heard amid the
breaker's rxar;
Strong !<odves Lruised and drowned;
the choking groan;
And then ? these graves! Far off, ia
anguisb sore.
The aged mo' hers weep, the widows
moan.
Ah! useless waste of precious human
life!
Oh fools! such dice to throw in
hope of gain!
What gold can compensate to child
or wife
Tor Jack of him who ne'er returns
again?
But ?ee? how Nature's hand, more
kind than man's.
With loving skill has decked these
unknown graves!
What bount?oue wealth of flowers!
? pure ayes that glance
To Heaven, bright with hope in
Him who saves.
CANDY
r r e s he st j
and Sweetest in the Candy Line \
Just Received at BRITT'S
And, hov'ring o'er thorn. gorgeous '
butterflies,
Now sipping honey -sweets, now soar
ing high;
Sweet, living gems; bright fragments
of the skies;
Embodied thoughts of immortality.
Oh careful Mother, mending what is
marred!
Oh tender Fa'her, kindest when He
smites!
Help us to keep Thy trail, however
hard,
And grant to all the faith that re
unites.
Suns of the Night.
"During the day we say that the sun
shines; during the night wo should
say that the suus shine," writes a
Boston corresi>ondent of the New York
Times. "During the day one sun
reigns over us; during the night many
suns sparkle and scintillate upon us.
The only difference Is that our sun of
day Is so much nearer than our suns
of night, but there Is ene sun of night
that during our winter far outshines
the other sparkling sky gems. That
sun is Slrlus, whose distance has been j
estimated at 50,000,000,000 miles,
whose size has l>een conjectured to be
as vast as that of 7,000 suns like our
own."
Just Like Her Brother.
The new cook, who had come into the
household during the holidays, asked
her mistress:
"Where ban yonr son? I not seeing '
him round no more."
"My son?" replied the mistress pride- I
fully. "Oh, he has gone back to Yale, i
He could only get away long enough
to stay until New Year's day, you see.
I miss him dreadfully, though."
"Yas; I knowing yoost how you feel.
My broder, he ban In yall sax times
since T'ankgl ring."? Judge.
One of Jerrold's Retort*.
Very tart was Douglas Jctrold's re
tort to a would be wit who. having
fired off all his stale jokes with no
effect, exclaimed:
"Why, you never laugh when I say
a good thing!"
"Don't I?" sold Jerrold. "Only try
roe with one!"
