A BRAVE WOMAN. Twenty years ago, and while the pres? ent populous city of Denver was known as Cherry Creek, when Pike's Peak was to the adventurous goal what Leadville and the camps of the Gnnnison are to? day, there lived on the "gold trail," run? ning from the settlements to the foot of the mountains, a rancher by the name of Ealph Lathrop. He was a young man who, with his young wife, had come to this far away Western country from Illinois, willing to work and determined s| to win a home among the blue pnaks of dorado. He had built a small log cabin a little off from the main trail, and was engaged in raising cattle and sheep for home consumption at the time of which we write. His family consisted of him? self and wife and a single hired man. Indians were neither plenty or dan? gerous, the wild beasts of the country bad retired to escape being shot, sod the travelers to and fro upon the trail, though often rough, were seldom ugly, bo that when business demanded Mr. Lathrop did not hesitate to leave his wife alont J C c ranch for a day aad a night at a time. One evening at supper, a spring night, with the odor of the fresh grasses and the.bndding leaves perfuming the air, the hired , man, Johnson, delivered a moat startling piece of news. ? "Did you hear o' the robbery at the Peak ??killin' too, I understand. Jim Bartlett, from the Creek, passed to-day, and he was a-tellin' me. Seems a gang o' these plain, fellows, rough riders, I reckon, dropped into a camp las", night and took all the,bcys' gold and shot two o' the miners. They've made for the mountains,- -it's 's posed, but -the hull -peak is after them. They'll swing the crowd if they, catch, 'em/' "Who tore*'the "desperadoes?" asked Lathrop.' "There* were only three o' 'em, and Black Dan, him as was hang in New Mexico,, was one., I guess they don't know the other," replied Johnson. "Black . Dan 1" said the master, "I thought he was, on the Pacific coast He's one of the worst men ever in this States I hope they- will catch the party and serve them with border justice, quick and sure. I shall feel better to know that the rascal is under the sod," "Why, Balph'V^ said his wife Nellie, "you are surely not afraid of the man. Why should you wish him evil?" "He's a terror to any community and a danger to any State," returned inr hus? band. "A murderer, and worse,* hung in New Mexico for revoltingcrimes, but rescued by his comrades ; & man whose heart is- as black as his, flowing beard, and'whose hands are red: with. human blood. I wish him no evil?only justice and a short rope I And he'll get it if the Peak boys catch him." Quiet Mrs. Lathrop looked wondering ly at her husband. Surely- thir noted lesperadc* must be of the wort t, that Ralph should speak so of him. And the memory of her husband's words came to her afterwards. Night fell, the shadow of a departing - winter rendering chill all the wo:ld be? hind him, as the doors were closed and barred?for this^ranch waa mile* from the nearest neighbor?fresh loga were thrown upon the fire, while the little household still talked of the tragedy at the Peak and the fleeing robbers pursued by the veogeful miners. "Well," said Johnson, at last, as he rose to go tothe loft and his bed, >'I'only hope with von,- Mc Lathrop, that they may catch - em. The conn try'11 be bet? ter without 'em." An hour later sleep ruled, and not un? til the early dawn, fresh and rosy, crept over the eastern hill tops did the little household unbar its doors again. With the return of day thoughts of the evening before were-' forgotten. What had they vto do with, the wolves? They must care for the sheep. Breakfast was over and the hir?d man had departed with the herd for the hills, distant some three miles, where ho would be absent until night, when suddenly Mr. Lathrop called to his wife from the log barn. The young woman ran to the "door. -"Nellie, dear," said her husband, v- 'Tveju8t found, greatly to my surprise, that we're out of aalt The sheep need it, and'I must have a barrel to-day. I've - got to go to the Creek for it, and will not be back before night. Johnson will \_jbo up with the sheep early. Good-bye." """"^ A wave of the hand, a rattle of the heavy wagon, the quick beat of the horses' hoofs, and Frank Lathrop was gone, leaving his young wife alone in the road? side ranch. But the front;er woman turned back into her cabin after sh~e had watched her husband out of sight, with not a thought of dagenr and hardly one of loneliness amid all the work which her busy hands could'find to do. It was high noon. For a little the young mistress had rested, while '-he soft warmth of the springtime had almost lulled her to sleep. Then she had pre? pared and eaten a plain dinner, all alone, and now she was engaged in washing the few dishes used, humming a low love Bong as she worked, and counting the flight of the moments that intervened before her husband's return by the creep? ing shadows upon the distant mountain side. As she worked her back was turned toward the open door, and she did not see the darker shadows that suddenly fell across the rough floor, nor note the crunch of heavy boots upon the fresh green grass, until a resounding footfall upon the step startled her, and she turned quickly to meet the first caller who had appeared that day?a tall, fierce-looking bearded man, who stood before her. "Missus, who lives here ?" The tone was harsh and threatening, but the question was a common one, and Nellie replied: "My husband; Mr. Lathrop, and my? self." "Where's the boss V "My husband? He's gone to the Creek for a barrel of salt." "Where's your hired help ?" "We only have one man; and he is not here now. Can I do anything for you ?" "Yes," growled the black bearded one. "Yes, yer can. Yer can do this fer me. Git a dinner for three hungry cusses as hasn't had time to get their own. Come in, boys, it's all clear. The cock's away, naught but this hen's at home, an' we'll have dinner." For a moment poor Mrs. Lathrop felt faint, and the world, sunlit and warm, danced before her eyes, then full strength came again as she saw this burly stran? ger fling himself into a chair and lay two j enormous pistols beside his elbow on the table, while a pair of others, each as wild and tattered and fierce-looking as the leader, followed him; full of strength, even while she realized who it was that sat within her kitchen, the man "whose heart was as black as his beard"?Black Dan, the ruffian of New Mexico, who only two days ago, with these very com? panions, had committed robbery and murder. This was the man who demand? ed dinner, and Mrs. Lathrop knew it. "Don't waste yer time, missus," sud? denly spoke the leader, turning quickly and fastening his, fierce, bold eyes upon the young nosteas, "don't waste your time nor yer words. Git dinner." There was no 'mistaking the command and the tone in which it was uttered meant far more than words. Mrs. La? throp began at once to lay the table. "We're busted miners, missus," began Black Dan, wit h a wink to his comrades; "completely busted, an' can't pay. What ye give us to eat must be for charity. We. ain't even got no weepins, except those pistils o' mine, an' them we're keep in' to help us out at the Creek, an' beggin'. to git thar." Poor Nellie beard all this, believing not one word, but working steadily on, frying eggs, making tea and supplying the. table with bread and butter and cake. When all was ready she placed chairs and told her enforced guests that dinner was prepared for them. Awaiting no second invitation they hastily seated themselves and began to eat. Suddenly the leader of the trio paused and turned sharply toward Mrs. Lathrop. "Missus, are ye scared at such wild looking fellows as we'uns ? Did you ever see our like before?" It was a test question. Black Dan wished to know if the little woman who fed them so willingly knew aught of the robbery at the Peak; or suspected whom she entertained. Even while her heart leaped in fear, she answered : "Ob, indeed, so, I'm not scared 1 Why should I be? I've seen busted miners before. I'm glad to be able to help you." " Yer a little brick I" ejaculated Black Dan, "an' when I marry I'll look round first and see ef you're a widdy! Here," he continued, lifting his pistols from the table and extending them to her, "I'll ask one more favor o' ye. The charges in them weepins is wet, and ef ye kin draw 'em an' reload 'em it will be a great blessin'." Mechanically Mrs. Lathrop took the pistols and turned toward the chest where her husband kept his arms and ammunition.^ But even as she did so a sudden idea, an inspiration almost, flashed through her brain. These men were now un? armed ; her husband's double-barreled shotgun loaded stood in the corner; why not capture the murderers herself? Instantly the brave woman put the thought into execution. Dropping the pistols she quickly seized tbe gun, raised both hammers full cock, and turning, presented it at the trio about her table. "Black Dan, you and your comrades are my prisoners." It may be her voice trembled; it would hardly have been strange if it did, but her hand did not, and the three desperadoes looked with paling cheeks into the blank! muzzles that covered tbem,,and knew the little woman meant what she said. For a moment silence reigned; then, slowly turning toward tbe table again, Black Dan growled out half dozen oaths, supplemented by the statement that he would finish his dinner anyway. His companions imitated him. Mis. Lathrop stood motionless, tbe gun still at her shoulder. Sbe dared not lower it, yet she could not hold it there much longer. The ruffians ate steadily and silent? ly on. 'The little woman began to grow faint ?not alone with fear, but from the' weight of the gun. Her hand* trembled. Suddenly there rang a wild shout, mingled with furious curses. Chairs and table were overturned, and in the flash of an eye Mrs. Lathrop aaw three men spring toward her, each with a knife in his hand. She saw, and then, with a wordless prayer,- she pressed the trigger. A tremendous roar shook: the air; two ouUhooting flames followed by two puffs of blue smoke; two heavy falls; then a dark figure drawing himself out of the open doorway. That was all. And as the brave woman leaned back against the wall of her cabin sbe heard the song of the birds out-side, and sbe saw the mel? low sunlight fleck tbe rough floor, but she did not see her enemies. Then she fainted. ; But close before her, doubly fierce in death lay tbe forms of two men, while ! without, upon the green grass, writhed Black Dan, sightless ana filled with wounds. i Twenty -minutes later tbe hired man, Johnson, appeared, alarmed at the sound of the shot, and saw what was done. Three days later, Mrs. Lathrop received the thanks of the Pike's Peak camp and a golden reward. ^Butshe would no long? er live alone, and her husband is now a merchant in Denver, while she is known as tbe brave woman who caught Black Dan. Moderate Profits. We frequently hear young men say they will not engage in farming because the profits are so small. They prefer to go into some business where they can make a fortune in a few years and then retire. Now all this sounds well to young men, but the older ones could tell the Other side of the story. Largo profits generally mean great risks. Of all those who start in to make a fortune, very few succeed. The large majority fail, and are soon lost sight of in the busy world. It is true that, as a rule, the profits are small in farming, but they are sure. There is no other business so sure, in the long run, to > -old a living and a small amount to put by for a rainy day as this. Is not ibis a wise way to do ? Those who make fortunes in a day are quite likely to lose them as quickly. He who accu? mulates a competency by slow degrees, and a reasonable share of economy, is hot likely to go iuto risky speculations, Or to loose his money in any other way. It is wisely ordered that we shall earn our living by the sweat of our brow. Labor, instead of being a curse as many suppose, is a great blessing. The young man who starts out with largo ideas and plans for the future will find, before many years, that all be gets is bis living for all his work, and as time goes on and his fortune increases, he will readily take more satisfaction in steady work, year in and year out, than iu almost anything else. There is a satisfaction iu doing well and laying by a little each year. The farmer can do this, but he cannot get rich at once. We know of no business to-day that offers so many attractions to a young man fond of work and of nature as that of farming. We wish many more of our young men could see this in the light in which some do see it, and pre? pare themselves to take hold of the work with an earnest determination to w*in a place and name as well as a competency. There is room for all; the markets are seldom, if ever, overstocked. There is a Sreat variety in this work. It may be one North or South, East or West, wherever the opening offers best. Farm? ing is no business for drones or lazy fel? lows, but is worthy of the attention of all smart boys who wish a dead sure thing. A Judicious Darkey. Old Uncle Mose had never been to the theatre, but having stuck up bills for a theatrical troupe and having received a complimentary ticket to the gallery, he concluded to attend the performance. He went dressed up in his Sunday attire. He had not been inside of the theatre more than an hour when he emerged shaking his bead. "Don't you like the performance, old man?" asked the surprised doorkeeper. "No, Bah, I don't like dem performance no way ye kin fix it." "Why what's the matter?" "Nuffin' much, 'ceptin a 'oman on de platfum got to talkin' 'bout family 'fairs wid de husband ob anudder "oman, an marster in Virgiuny got shot plum ter pieces for doing dat berry foolishness.

Paper Lumber Production. A tall, elderly man, with a round, pleasant face, took from the markle man? tel shelf of a room overlooking Printing House square yesterday afternoon a sec? tion of what appeared to be walnut board. "That is paper lumber," he said. You may not be awars that a process has been invented for utilizing paper pulp in the manufacture of a substitute for natu? ral lumber. A mill has been erected in a western town for the purpose of manu? facturing artificial lumber from paper stock, and a number of capitalists have taken hold of the matter. We are thoroughly convinced of tue perfect practicability of paper lumber in the manufacture of all articles at present from wood. It is only a question of a very short time when paper lumber will come into general use. I feel confident that it will prove much cheaper than wood, equally as durable, and fully as good an article for fine work." Attention was directed to several ar? ticles of cabinent ware made of the ma terial. Two of these were ordinary par? lor tables, one of which was finished in the natural grain of the lumber, resem bling Bomewbat the peculiar mottled ap? pearance seen in eome choice hard wood. The surface of the table was varnished and highly polished, presenting a smooth? ness equal to Sue plate-glass. The other table was finished in exact imitation of rosewood. A panel door was also shown the finish resembling mahogany. A couple of jewelry or ladies' work boxes, made after an elegant pattern and highly finished, were also produced, showing the adaptability of paper lumber in the con? struction* of ornamental article. "The paper board," continued the gentleman alluded to, "is susceptible of taking the finest polish as well as any tint, shade, or color. The lumber is made principally of the pulp of wheat, rye, oat straw, and other vegetable f bres, combined with chemical ingredients and cement*. It is formed of layers about one-quarter of an inch in thickness, and these layers are pressed together by pow? erful machinery, and thus rendered as hard as the hardest wood, besides much more dense. The boards are also ren? dered waterproof in varying degrees, ac? cording to the purpose for which they are to be used. The material is as dura? ble as time, and can be sold at a good price for almost half the price of ordina? ry pine lumber. It will take any finish, and in this respect alone is equal to the finest bard woods. Moreover, it can be marbleized in imitation of any kind of marble, both in respect to a high degree of polish and an exact imitation of grain. It will not warp and cau be rendered perfectly waterproof, if desired, thus making it suitable for the construction of burial caskets. It makes just as solid a surface as any wood, and may be made of the hardness of stone. As a substi? tute for wood in the construction of building it possesses qualities of perfect adaptation. It will make the finest ma? terial in the world for rooGng, not excep? ting slate or iron. It can be sawed, split, or planed, and boards made of it are perfectly smooth and flat from end to end on both sides, without any knots, cracks or blemishes of any kind com? monly met with in wood." "Do you think that the supply of pa? per stock is sufficient to permit the gen? eral use of paper lumber as a substitute for wood 1" "Why not ? The production of straw alone is sufficient. It takes 100 years to grow 20,000 feet of natural timber on an acre of ground. This is according to official statistics. On the other band an acre of ground will produce every year straw enough to make 2,000 feet of arti? ficial lumber, and hence in a hundred years it will produce 200,000 feet, ten times the quantity of natural lumber. "What do we propose to do ? It is our purpose besides entering into the manu? facture of paper lumber on an extended scale, to lease machinery to other parties desiring to embark in the industry."?

SCUDDAY, PlaintilTs Allurnev. Jan 10, ihbt 2C Healthy People Sometimes Laugh At the sufferings of dyspeptics, and say that their pains and distresses are imaginary. This is not meant for cruelty, but it is cruelty, all the same. A person who has a crooked foot, or a wounded hand, or a sightless eye, calls forth sympathy by the exhibition of the defective member. .? If the dyspeptics sufferer's stomach could be placed on exhibition, the cause of his distress would be apparent. ' ?...-???.?>'?T'<***^ The man with a troublesome stomach often suffers quite as much as the man with a broken leg, but is far less likely to receive sympathy. -0m Sympathy is good for sufferers, as far as it goes. But Brown's Iron Bitters is better, for it strikes at the root of these troubles, and cures dis? ease. ' Disappointed dyspeptics, weary of having tried many experiments in seeking cure, will do well to make one fair trial of Brown's Iron Bitters, and report the result. That this well-tried family medicine will thus dimin? ish the quantity of human suffering is an established fact. 10 SPECIAL NOTICE.
