P?? RESPECT DUE TO AGE. REV. : DR. TALMAGE ON HOiV TO TREAT OLD PEOPLE. He First Considers Parental Attachment and Then the Duty of the Young to the Old?An ?loqaent and Forceful Plea F.r Filial Affection. Dr. Talmage, in ihi3 senaoa snows us a scene of tenderness and reverence and tells us how we ought to treat old people. His text is Genesis xiv, 23, "I will go and see him before I die." Jacob had long since passed the hundred year milestone. In those times people were distinguished for longevity. In the centuries after persons lived to great age. Galen, the most celebrated physician of his time, toot so little of his own medicine that ne lived to 140 years. A maa of undoubted veracity on the witness stand in England swore that he remembered an event 150years before. Lord Bacon speaks of a countess who had cut three set3 of teeth and died at 140 years. Joseph Crele of Pennsylvania lived 140 years. In 1S57 a book was printed containing the names of 37 persons who lived 140 years and the names of 11 persons who lived 150 years. Among the grand old peopie 01 waom #c have record was Jacob, the shepherd of the text. But he had a bad lot of boys. They were jealous and ambitious and every way unprincipled. Joseph, however, ssemed to be an exception, but he had been gone many years, and the probability was that he was dead. As sometimes now in a house you will find kept at the table a vacant chair, a plate, a knife, a fork, for some deceased m: member of the family, so Jacob kept iD his heart a place for his beloved Joseph. There sits the old maa, the flock o? l'O years in I their flight having alighted long enough to leave the marks of their claw on forehead and cheek and temple. His long beard snows down over his chest. Hi3 eyes are somewhat dim, and he can see farther when they are closed than when they are open, for he can see clear back into the time when beautiful Rachel, his wife, was living, and his children shook the oriental abode "with ;, their merriment. The centenarian is sitting dreaming over the past when he hears a wagon rambling to the Iront door. He gets up and gees to the door to see who has arrived, and his long absent sons from Egypt come in and announce to him that Joseph, instead of being dead, is living in an Egyptian palace, with all the investiture of prime minister, next to the king in the mightiest empire of all the world! The news was too sudden and t:o glad for the old man, and his cheeks whiten, j and he has a dazed look and ins staff falls out of his hand and he would have dropped j had not the sons caught him and led him to i a lounge and put cold "water on his face and fanned him a little. In that half delirium the old man mumbles something about his son Joseph. He says: -'You don't mean Joseph, do you? My dear son who has been dead so long? You don't mean Joseph, do you?" But after they had fully resuscitated him, and the news was confirmed, the tears begin their winding way down the crossroads of the wrinkles, and the sunken lips of the old man quiver and he brings his bent fingers together as he eays: "Joseph is yet alive. I aril! oca him before T die-." It did not take the old mail a great while to get ready, I warrant you. He put on the best clothe3 that the shepherd's wardrobe could afford. He got into the wagon, and though the aged are cautious and like to ride slow, the wagon did not get along fast enough for this old man, and when the wagon with the old man met Joseph's chariot coming down to meet him and Joseph got out of the chariot and got into tne wagon ana tnrew nis arms around his father's neck, it was an antithesis of royalty and rusticity, of simplicity and pomp, of filial affection and paternal love, which leaves us so much in doubt whether we had better laugh or cry, that we do both. So Jacob kept the resolution of the text?"I will go and see him before I die." "What a strong and unfailing thing is parental attachment! Was it not almost time for Jacob to forget Joseph? The hot suns of many summers had blazed on the heath; the river Nile had overflowed and receded, again and again; the seed had been sown -|fln tji^iiiwii?? ?ivPTvlonfTr VPO.T4 Af farm"nPt liar W-'? passed on, but the love of Jacob for Josepl in my text is overwhelmingly dramatic. Oh that is a cord tha; is not snapped, thougl pulled on by many decades! Though whe: the little child expired the parents ma] not have been more than 25 years of age, anc now they are 75, yet the vision of the cradle and the childish face, and the Srst utterance: of the infantile lips axe fresh today, in spit< of the passage of a half century. Joseph wa< ?ta in .To/vVh'a mf>m<Yrv as ptpt t.Krtn at 17 years of age the boy had disappeared from the old homestead. I found in ouj family record the story of an infant that had died 50 years before, and I said to my parents, "What is this record and what does it mean?" Their chief answer wa3 a long, deep sigh. It was yet to them a very tender sorrow. What does that all mean? Why, il means our cniiuren uepaneu. are ours jet, and that ord of attachment reaching across the years will hold us until it brings us together in the palace, as Jacob and Joseph were brought together. That is one thing that makes old people die happy. They realize it i3 reunion with those from whom the; have long been separated. I am often asked as pastor?and every pastor is asked the question?"Will my children be children in heaven and forever chilv dren?" Well, there was no doubt a great change in Joseph from the time Jacob lost VlOT* AM/9 wV?A?l TaaaK ?*/"? T1 T* A V* T T-r? mui ajuvfc tug n Avcmv* between the boy of 17 years of age and the man in midlife, his forehead developed with the great business of state, but Jacob was glad to get back Joseph anyhow, and it did not make much difference to the old man whether the boy looked older or looked younger. And it will be enough joy for that parent if he can get back that son, that daughter, at the gate of heaven, whether the departed loved one shall come a cherub or in full grown angelhood. There must be a change wrought by that celestial climate and by those supernal years, Knf Vv<* f??Am lAvJinoJd tr? rn ATO WUH1U n 111 Viujf Uv ilVUi AV/ * VUUVJJ vv ua,V/-,V loveliness, and from health to more radiant health. Oh, parent, as you thiuk of the darling panting and white in membranous croup, I -want you to know it -will be gloriously bettered in that land where there has never been a death and where all the inhabitants will lire on ia the great future as long as God! Joseph was Joseph notwithstanding the palace, and your child will b9 your child notwithstanding all the raining splendors of everlasting noon. "What a thrilling visit was that of the old shepherd to the prime minister Joseph. I see the old countryman seated in the palace looking around on the pillars, and oh, how he wishes that Rachel, Vii? -wifV* trna qTSvo an r? cVio *v>n?ri Jiq.vp mm A with him to see their son in his great house. "Oh," says the old man within himself, "I do wish Rachel could bs here to see ail this:" 17isited at the farmhouse of the father of Millard Fillmore when the son was president of the United States, and the octogenarian farmer entertained me until 11 o'clock at night telling me what great things he sawin his son's house at Washington and what Daniel Webster said to him, and how grandly Millard treated his father in the White House. The old man's face was illumined "with the story until almost tke xmamgnt. ? He had just been visiting his son at the cap.' ital. And I suppose it was something of the same joy that thrilled the heart of the old shepherd as he stood in the palace of the prime minister. It is a great day with you when your old parents come to visit you. Your little children stand around with great wide open eyes, "wondering how anybody could be so old. The parents cannot stay many days, for they are a little restless, and especially at nightfall, because they sleep better in their own bed, but while they tar ry you somehow feel there is a ben.diction in every room in the house. They are a little feeble, and you make it a3 easy as you can for them, and you realize they 'will probably not risit you very often?perhaps never "* again. You go to their room after tney have retired at night to see if the lights are properly put out, for the old people understand candle ard lamp better than the modern apparatus for illumination. In the morning, with real interest in their health, you ask how they rested last night. Joseph, in the historical scene of the text, did not think any more of his father than you do for your parents. The probability is before they leave yonr house thev half spoil your children with kindness. Grandfather and grandmother are more lenient and indulgent to your children than they ever were with you. And what wonders of revelation in the bombazine pocket of the one and the sleeve of the other. Blessed is that home where .Christian parents come to visit. Whatever may have been the style of the architecture when they came, it is a palace be. fore they leave. If they visit you 50 times, the two most memorable visits will be the first and the last Those two pictures will I hang in the hall of your memory while memory lasts, and you will remember just how i they looked, and where they sat; and what J the> said, and at what figure of the carpet, ["and at what doorsill they parted with you, ; giving you the final goodby. Do not be em; barrassed if your father come to town and ; the. mnnnws of the shepherd, and if ! your mother come to town and there be in J her hat no sign of costly millinery. The wife of the Emperor Theodosius said a wise thing '-when she said, "Husbands, remember what you lately were and- remember what you 1 are, and be thankful." [ By this time you all notice what kindly I provision Joseph made for his father Jacob, j Joseph did not say. "I can't have the old 1 TT.r rrr ..lumc 17 h C* I mail arounu una jnatc. mn viuui^ j would look climbing up those marble stairs and walking over those mosaics! Then he would be putting his hands upon some of these frescoes. People would wonder where that old greenhorn came from. He would shock all the Egyptian court with his manners at table Besides that, he might get sick on my hands, and he might be querulous ana he might talk to me a-i though I were only a boy, when I am the second man in all the realm. Of course he must not suffer, and if there is famine in his country? and I hear there Is?1 'will sena mra some provisions, but I oan't take a man from Padanaram and introduce him into this polite Egyptian court. What a nuisance it is to have pooi relations!" Joseph did not say that, but he rushed out to meet his father with perfect abandon of affection, and brought him up to the palace and in'roduced him to the emperor and provided for all t ae rest of the father's days and nothing was too good for old man while living, and when he was dead, Joseph, with military escort, toos nis iamer ? remain iu the family cemetery. Would God all children were as kind to their parents! If the father have large property, and he be wise enough ts keep it in his own name, he will be respected by the heirs, but how often is it when the son finds his father in famine, as Joseph found Jacob in famine, the young people make it'very hard for the old man. They ar; so surprised he eats with a knife insteed of a fork. They are chagrined at his antedilu'rian habits. They are proTTrti-of? Via rvmnnt hear as well as he i used to, and when he asks it over again,and the son has to repeat it, he bawls in the old man's ear, "I hope ycu hear that!" How long he must wei?ir the old coat or the old hit before they get him a new one! How chagrined they arj at his independence o the English gramiaar. How long he hangs on! Seventy yeais and not gone yet! Seventy-five years ar:d not gone yet! Eighty years and not gon) yet! Will he ever go? They think it of no use to have a doctor in his last sickness, and go up to the drug 3tore and get something that makes him worse and economize on a coffin, and beat the undertaker do tra to the last point, giving a note fcr tfce reduced amount, which they never pay. 1 have officiated at obsequies of aged people -where the family have been so inordinately resigned to Providence that I felt like taking my text from Proverbs, "The eye that mocketh at his father and refuseth to obey its mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it." In other words, such i an inzrate ought to have a fiock of crows j for pallbearers. I congratulate you if you have the honor of providing for aged parI ents. The blessing of the Lord God of Jos, eph and Jacob -will be on you. I I rejoice to remember that, though my father lived in a plain house the most of his days, he died in a mansion provided by the filial piety of a son who had achieved a fortune. There the octogenarian sat, and the servants waited on him.and there were plenty of horses and plenty of carriages to con, vey him, and a bower in which to,sit on long t where he was not welcome, and there wer musical instruments of all sorts to regal [ him, and when life had passed the neighbor j came out and expressed all honor possibl T and carried him to the village Machpela j and put him down beside the Rachel wit wbom he had lived more than half a centurj ! Share your success with the old people. Th > probability is that the principles they in j culcated achieved your fortune. Give ther [ a Christian percentage or kindly considers I tion. Let Joseph divide wi?h Jacob the pas . ture fields of Goshen and the glories of th I Ezvptian court. I ? .! And here I would like to sing the praise ; of the sisterhood who remained unmarrie i that they might administer to aged parents . The brutal world calls these self sacrificin ; ones peculiar or angular, but if jou had ha' as many annoyances as they have had Xan j tippe would have been an angel compare* . with you. It is easier to take care of fiv rollicking, romping children than of on ; childish old man. Among the best womei . ot our land are those who allowed the blooc of life to pass away while they were carinj for their parents. While other maiden were asleep they were soaking the old man' feet or tucking up the covers around the in valid mother. "While other maidens were ii , the cotillion tney were dancing attendant upon rheumatism and spreading plastars fo: th? lame hank of the aeDtuasrenarian an( heating catnip ten for insomnia. In almost every circle of our kindrec there has been some queen of self sacrific* to whom jeweled hand after jeweled hanc was offered in marriage, but who staid 01 the old place ?ecs,use of the sense of filial ob ligation until the health was gone and th< attractiveness of personal presence had van ished. T il society may call such a on< by a nicl >ne. God calls her daughter, anc heaven (wis her jaint, and I call her domes tic martyr.

Let the ungrateful world sneer at the maiden aunt, but God has a trone burnished for her arrival, and on one side of that rhrrmp in heaven there is a vase containing two jewels, the one brighter than the Kohinoor of London tower, and the other larger than an7 diamond ever found in the districts j of Golconda?the one jewel by the lapidary j of the palace cut with the words, "Inasmuch { as ye did it to father," the other jewel by the lapidary of the palace cut with the words, "Inasmuch as ye did it to mother."

As if to disgust us with unfilial conduct, the Bible presents us with the story of Mi.cah, who stoie 1,100 sheckles from his mother, and the story of Absalom, who tried to dethrone his father. But all history is beautiful with stories of filial fidelity. Epaminondas, the warrior, found his chief deI light in reciting to his parents his victories. Tnere goes -Eneas from burning Troy, on his shoulders Anchies, his father. The ; Athenians punished with deaih any unfilial conduct.

I may say in regard to the most of you that your parents have probably "visited you for the last time, or -will soon pay you such a visit, and I have wondered if they -will ever visit you in the king's palace. ,;Oh," you say, "I am in the pit of sin!" Joseph was in the pit. "Oh," you say, "I am in the prison of mine iniquity!" Joseph was once in prison. '-Oh," you say, "I didn't Have a lair cnance. i was uemca maternal kindness!" Joseph was -was denied maternal attendance. -Oh," you say, "I am far away from the land of my nativity!" Joseph was far from home. "Oh," i you say, '*1 have been betrayed and exasperated!" Did not Joseph's brethren sell ' him to a parsing lshmaelitish caravan? Yet ; God brought him to that emblazoned resi dence, and if you will trust his grace in Jo- 1 sus Christ, you, too, will be empalaced. Oh, 1 what a day that will be when the oldfolks come from an adjoining mansion in heaven, and find yoa amid the alabaster pillars of the ! thronercom r.nd living with the king! They ! are coming up the steps now, and the epau- i leted guard of the palace rushes in and says, i "Your father's coming, your mother's com- j ingl" And when under the arches of prec- J i ious stones and on the pavement of porphyry j you greet each oilier, the scene -will eclipse I ( the meeting on the Goshen highway, when' Joseph and Jacob fell on each other's neck and wept a good while. But, oh, how changed the old folks will ( be! Their cheek smoothed into the llesh of J a little child. Their stooped posture lifted ' iato immortal symmetry. Their foot now sd feeble, then with the sprightliness of a i bounding roe, as they shall say to you, "A ] spirit passed this way from earth and told 1 us that you were wayward and dissipated i after we left the world, but you have repent- i ed, our prayer has been answered and you ] are here, and as we used to visit you on earth before we died now we visit you in j your new home after our ascension."

These allegations, and kindred ones, in this bill, reflect seriously, most seriously, upon tbe respondents to vour honor's rale, that I have the honor to represent; they reflect upon the officers of the State; and, may it ple\se your honor, more than that? the. reflect seriously upon my assistant and mjself ss attorneys of this court. If I am guilty of entering into a conspiracy to thwart the decisions of this court, I am unworthy to practice hfcre. If his excellency the governor and the other state officers have entered into a conspiracy in restraint of trade, which is a crime under the stat utes of the United States, vre should be impeached and removed from office. The charges, therefore, may it please your honor, are of the most serious character, and I take it that the records of this court are not to be trifled with. In addition, these allegations not only reflect upon us as officers and attorneys of this court, but there are charges in this bill that are damaging to us as individuals. The charge contained in the allegation marked "Q ' "And your orators further show that protection of your orators m the premises at law involves a multiplicity of suits against all said defendants, and that all of said defendants are financially irresponsible, totally insolvent and unable to respond to any damages whatsoever against them, or either of them, or any of them," &c. May it please your honor, that bill of complaint stands sworn to by Mr. Bickart, who swears to the facts of his own knowledge. Can we stand it? You have issued a rule returnable on the 12th day of this month. I cannot permit, and I wiil not permit ailega LIvJJMLO ?Ji ILLiO CiitfcliU/lOJ. I'J Sltti-lU un chaliens ea against my colleagues and myself for single day. The allegation of conspiracy is slanderous and false and the allegation as to financial irresponsibility is, as to some of us at least, as false as can be, and it is as damaging as it is false. What I ask, may it please your honor, is that we shall not stand for days Dei ore uiis court witn a record line this charging us with an offense, with which if we be guilty I should not be heard to open my mouth in this court, and if my colleagues be guilty they should not administer the offices in the ' State of South Carolina which they hold. When I read the bill of complaint yesterday,feeling the outrage that had been perpetrated upon us, feeling it as keenly as I can express to your honor, I sent telegram to his excellency the governor and the state commissioner for authority to denounce the charges as false and untrue^ and I speak for my colleagues as well as myself, that the charges of consDiracv between the officers of the State of South Carolina are absolutely and unqualifiedly false. I state to your honor now, as I have always stated, that the officers cf the State have endeavored in every instance in these proceedings to obey every order issued by this honorable court, and if this man who makes the charge aga:'nst us of conspiracy and financial irresponsibility, to which he swears, if he has in his possession any proof, I ask your honor to force him to produce it at once in open court, or hereafter s;and the consequences of false srcearinsr. On behalf of myself and the other gentlemen who stand before this court I ask permission to make an immediate return, at the earliest possible moment, and that your honor will at once grant to us a right to clear ourselves of the charges that reflect against all of us as officers and as in dividual citizens of the State. N jw 1 bave naught to say which I trust the facts would not entirely sustain, nor would I state anything upon mere suspicion;but there is now pending a proceeding in the United dtat s court oi u-eorgia, lnsxnuiea oy tne same complainants as in this case, in which it is sworn that there is a conspiracy between the governor of the State of South Carolina and the Southsrn railway to suppress what they say is their legal business. I think they magnify their importancs when they suppo^s that the State of South Carolina is aiming all its guns at their rum hncinoce in Atlanta Phie Kill />nrmr?h with my consent stand upon this reo 3rd, and together with the rule issued Iherecn possibly be used in the hearing before Judge Newman, the district judge in Atlanta,upon a hearing there fixed for the 9 it instant. I earnestly ask your honor to hear our testimony in open court, and I am ready to testify, and my assistant on my left and the two gentleman on my right, who ire parties 10 mis oiii, stand reaay to testiiy. We take this bill to be insulting and absolutely untru8, and the aath. thereto is false. We ask your honor not to have us forced to suomit to these things. Upon tne conclusion of the remarks 3f tiie attorney general, Mr. Gadsden, 3f the firm of Mordecai & Gadsden, stated that upon the filing of the imendment and supplemental bill of Bluthenthal Bickart against J. G. Long and otiiers on yesterday afternoon, that he arranged for a confer 3nce between himself and the attorney yfcneyal late on Wednesday afternoon it the Charleston hotel. That at that inference the question of the charges Df consoiracy made in the bill was fully discussed, and that the attorney general had stated fully to him the facts and circumstances connected with the matte?. That he had convinced Mr. Gadsden that there had aeen, as a matter of fact, no preconsidered arrangement or combination Dr agreement between the State officials to seizs ihe goods of Bluthenthal fe Bickart, ar.d that owing to the close personal relations which existed bs wppti Mr fi-adsHfln and thft attornfiv general hs was satisfied that sued, statement made by the attorney geniral was in every particular correct; md that at that interview last night ie stated to tne attorney general tnat =nps?hi3 statement of tne fi?cts he was in. ^id bill were incorrect and unfounded, and that he would this morning move the court to strike from the bill the names of himself, the governor, the assistant attorney general and Mr. Vance; and that he now begged to say that, having been thoroughly satisfied by the assurances of the attorney general that the charges in said bill were incorrect, the complainant asked leave to withdraw said bill from the fi'es or this court. A Vetera^1!} Picture. The Columbia State says at the meeting of the Governor's Guards Tuesday night "Uncle" William Rose, the colored veteran of the Mexican and Civil wars, and now messenger to the governor, presented that company with a framed portrait of himself. Ia accsptiDg the gift the Guards passed complimentary resolutions thanKmg the donor, and assuring him of their bi2h appreciation. The picture was ordered to be hung on the wall of the armory with those of other veterans of tha company. "Uncle" William's services in the two wars through which he has passed, and his connecj tion with the militia ever since, has made him too well known for a sketch of his life to be necessary. Up to the time of the disbanding of the Richland Volunteers he was an honorary member of that company. Died While Bis Mills Burned. Hon. Lawson K. Armstrong, a member of the lower house of the South Carolina legislature, from Yorkville, met with a tragic death at his heme, Tuesday rnoring. Shortly after daylight he was aroused from his sleep with the news that his saw mills and gin were burning, and immediately went out to help check the flames. After a vigorous fight it be i. A-l .1 1 came apparent mat ins case was. nopaless and Mr. Armstrong sat down to rest. Presently he fell over and expired instantly. It was a case of heart failure. He was a prominent man in this section and leaves quite a handsome property. Cost of Yellow Ftver. Although the loss of life in jthe fever-stricken section of the Soutn is most distressing, the cost of the contagion to business is assuming an aspect that causes even graver concern. It is estimated that in New Orleans alone the loss will be $25,000,000, while the loss in other directions and the cost o? maintaing the quarantine will run the total up to $38,000,000. People in mora favored sections may well extend their sympathy to the people of the scourge-stricken section. Centuries ago, people used to fear what they called the pestilence. "Black Death" was the most terrible thing in the world to them. They fearea it as people now fear the Cholera and Yellow Fever. And yet there is a thing that causes more misery said more aeains man any or tnese. it is so common that nine tenths of all the sickness in the world is traceable to it. It is merely that simple, common thing constipation. It makes people listless, causes dizziness, headaches, loss of appetite, loss of sleep, foul breath and distress after eating.

A dispatch to the Chicago Chroni cle from Dvea, Alaska, says back in the states they tell of soma big poker games in miniag csmps arid senate committee rooms or Chamberlain's. It is a good bit that none of the men who played in these same-* ever saw as big a pile of dust change bands on one deal cr saw one or ioe payers cured of the Jiquor habit at the same time, as was seen here last Thursday. Tbe majority of the men who have come to this place for the winter are hardy prospectors who have turned over every foot of ground on the continent where it was probable a pan of dust might ba cleaned up. Like all of their kind, they divide their time between panniag, ' irrigation1' and tVia oc/-J iiAtir?Q m.ollifoinor in fl Jianpft / ??

Sam Curtis, late of Illinois, and Pote Norton, known as "Forty Mile Pete," also from that portion of the s'at?, came to Drea from the nortia to wait until spring would enable us co shin our cleanings to the 'Frisco mint before soiog back to our claims cn Forty Mile cr^ek. Pete and I were pards, and, if I do say it had cleaned up a vary nica pile in the few weeks we placered on the divide. We had picked up afe?? good, nuggets and felt that even if we left the gold fields for good we could buy nlontir fn fia* a?H fnr lh.fi rfief. nf our lives That was before we met up with Jje Henderson, known as "Jersey," ard Charlie O'Brien, who is usually hailed as "Klondike Charlie." When we got fco Dyea we hired a shack and prepared for the long winter. We cast about for some one to help icep house, and one niffht over in the Nugget we ran into Klondike and Jersey, just back from the fields, : and on the sarce errand ss ourselves. Well, to make a long story short, we pooled and then hired a Chinaman to do our cooking. Forty Mile found the celestial, and was the means of introducing the moon-eyed heathen to ? our camp. Forty Mile quit broke of. ; his thirst and dust as the "result i We had not been established long : when Jersey one evening proposed a quiet game, just to pass the time, you i know. Here is . where Klondike showed a great head. He shifted his ! pipe to the other side of his face, took 1 it out of his mouth, blew a few rings into- the air, and then took a long, hearty pull at the bitters. Then he . sai4, with his head on one side: "Which I holds it ain't no good way to do. Yere is four gents and a heathen a-livin' into the same shack. We all plays into a game and we all gets riled and mixes into a fight ef we loses our dust. Which I mean to say, I 'low we all better play over to Bill's plsqe." This seemed good advice, and it "Was ! adopted as the rub of th8 shack. No : man was permitted to propose a game ( in the shack as long as we went pard- ( ners. So Jersey lifted his hat and > strolled over to the Nugget and we all , followed him. He sat in, and for a , time we just sat around and watched the play. But who ever saw a miner with a stack who could keep out of a nic9 game when he has a chance? The gambling spirit is stronger than the habit of irri2atinsr. So v?e three bought a stack about third-drink time, and soon afterward the four pards had i xhe table to themselves. It is no good < thing to play with your pards. There 1 thing to come off which < i spoils the situaUohr-Wejfound this : i out before daylight that night:?*?L i Finally we all went broke excepting Jersey, who won right along. This , made Klondike and Forty Mile hot, . and they sent over to the shack to get their bags of dust I alao needed some ^old. and Wa all had our Chinaman bring in the bags which held our fori tunes. I had several cans, formerly of pressed beef, filled with dust. Jersey had an oil can or two. Klondiki was rich with nuggets and a fat belt 1 and Forty Mile had an ancient powder can fi lied to the limit. All told we could show up almost $500,000. Then that heathen waltzed up to the 1 table, put down a fat bag and says: "Me play too." Wing sat in and shufflid the cards h?forn we eouM m?kfi ar.v nhW.tirsri Jersey glanced at bis bag and then hunched over and let the celestial take a place. We all had been irrigating considerable, and it was sixth drink time when Wing took Ihe first hand. He did not drink any, so he kept a cool head, something those fellows al jray s have. Well, it cam9 to Jersey to deal. Wing set in a good pile of dust as his ante and Forty Miie, who sat next, straddled, Klondike, saw the straddle as I did, but Jersey tilted it before tbe deal. We had as much as $10,000 on the table aDd not a card dealt yet Wing skinned his hand and bet. Forty Mile stayed out and it went round to Jersey, who found a jack. Tne game was getting good then. With $20,000 on the table and the rule to open for the pile it meant some mighty good betting to get the pot. Wing passed. Forty Mile did likewise and then Klonaiks opened her for the $20,000. I skinned my hand, ana navmg trie making or a lull of pictures, tilted back. All the others stayed in, so that when we discarded we had in about all we could scraps together. Still we had enough to do some fair betting, but a showdown must come soon. I took one card, Klondike took two, Forty Mile was satisfied with one and Jersey and Wing stood. Wing beta few ounces and was tilted by Forty Mile. Klondike had not helped and dropped out. I was tco much in to quit and raised the tilt with a can 01 pressed beefed origin. Klondike was flowering at the heath* en. Ha did no: like Chinamen, aDyway, and he hogered his guns atd looked ugly while Wing went on smiling and setting in his dust. We bet around a couple of times and than Win? callf d. He held more aees lhan the deck needed to mako it com piste aad Klondike j impvd up and pulled. Ha had loaded his gun with a small nugget taken from an old greasy can. He fired at Wing, but Forty Mile jumped in between and took the ball through his arm. Klondike was wild, but before he could pall again Wing was sent tiirough the window into a convenient snow drift, where he kicked and struggled to get out. ''Whatever do yca fellers mean by mixin' in with me and the heathen?" roared Klondike, still struggling to vet hi.-? oiin into ran^e.. "Kain's afford to lose oar jiook, you blamed fool. We all' kin "skin' him later. Put up them guns," &id Forty Mile. . *\\, Well, we two finally got. Klondike to put up his guns and then we started to find ou; which worr.

"Whatever js the matter, Forty Mile?" asked Bill, wljcr waa bccse dealer. "Have you all lost yer thirst?' 4'Yep," was the disconsolate reply. | <;That here nugget which Klondike drilled into my arm done it. I reckon r ??J *? iu? ijLicuuc x wiu> wciiccu. iyr iuc jiiiijALUS unbeknownst. 'Pears like I hain't got no taste for liquor no more." ~ Well, we took Forty Mile over to the doctor's house and he . examined the wourid. The nugget had entered the muscles, but in spite of its haviDg left a big gun it could not be found. The doctor asked a lot of foci questions acd then said: "Just whsfc I feared, Forty Mile, the action cf the grease,- powder and smoke on that nugget turned it into chloride of grola. You all have lost vour thirst, same as if ycu bad b?en to D wight I'm sorry, but you can'i irrigate none no more." It was true. We pards had mixed into a squable, lest all our dust and the best fellow on the creek was spoiled for life. Forty Mile had bf< n one of the liveliest boys in Alaska, ready with his guns and always skin, tight with good red liquor. But after that gams he left olf cards, stopped drinking and wanted to go about the cauip preautuag teaipsranca. KJi course, we had to fire him out of the camp. He went back to the States a changed man. No man without a 20cd thirst is wanted in these digcins. Poor Forty Mile wept as h? read the notice, but he said: ' It's all right, boys. I know I done lost all you all's respect I done lost all respect for myself/ Klondiki never , meant to do. this and 1 freely forgives him. I hope you ail makes a^roofl pile . and turns from vour wicked wavs. I'm gain' back to 'Illinois and missionary witu my old chums." That's the last we saw of Forty Mile, likewise our fortunes, which may be over to Juneau, for all we kno.vy. W*? ; three are fixing to begin over when the spring comes. Bicycle Acc dent*.
