The man. unatrring up hi courage, armed himaelf with a fence rail and hastened to the relief of hi team. He found one reptile coiled arouud the foreleg of one hone, and the other snake arouud one of the hind leg of the other horse. The terpen ts struck the defenceless animal repeatedly, while the air rvaounded with a peculiar hi&siug uowe. After a atruggle of about thirty min-ute- a the farmer succeeded in beating off the reptile and releasing the scared team. He then mounted the harrow and a chase commenced, the hones at full speed dragging the harrow and Frank, with the snakes in close pursuit. The fleeing team raised a cloud of dust, and when it reached the opposite side of the field the snakes were lost to view. A party with guns and clubs was quickly orgaulzed to search for the snak. but was unable to find them. Cor. Indianapolis Journal rortuaea la " IUikr.1 Afrira." Xow that Stanley lias returned to the sale of his may be said to have practically fettled. Most of the subscription agents have finished up their work and a hurv.y can be made of the results. I learn that it lias been ons of the most successful ventures ever undertaken. It was thought that the book was not making much of a hit, but this only shows how quietly success was achieved. Some particulars of this sale will be interesting. The Scribners paid Stanley f50,000 in cash before a liuo was written. They recently settled th account to date by paying him another foO.QOO, representing a sale of 100,000 copies, as their contract required them to pay him fifty cents on each copy sold in addition to the first The book sold from various $50,000. prices, from $7.50 to $13, but it has been averaged at $8.50, t hat the house re0 from the enterceives, in gross, $&' prise. After paying Sti. aey his $100,000 and the large commissions to canvassers, averaging about GO per cent on the retail price, there remains a net profit to York the firm of at least $150,000.-N- ew Cor.

THE FAIR Coining a Lot of Dimes. Director of tha Mint Leech said in response to a question: "Yes, there is apparently a great scarcity of dimes, jadg ing from the requests for them now coming to the treasury. I do not know what the causo of the scarcity is; but the fact that the requests for them are from large cities, and especially from New York, would tend to confirm the suggestion that the scarcity is largely due 2443 and 2445 Washington Avenue, : : : : Ogden, Utah. to the new dime pocket savings bank which has recently been introduced. Apparently lan;e quantities of dimes are being taken out of circulation and locked up in those boxes.

Practical Founder Machinist. e The Ronton Tea Party. Andrew Walker, of Kennebunk, Me., now eighty-tw- o years old, thinks he may be the last person living who has talked with a man who took an active part in the famous "Boston Tea Party of 1773." This man's name was Jonathan Mitchell, and at the time of the revolution he was employed on a coasting vessel bet ween Kennebunk and Boston, and happened to be in Boston on the evening of Dec. 16, 1773. The old man evidently was not an American patriot, for he said: "It was too bad to see so much good tea thrown overboard, so I thought I would save a little. Taking a boat, I went to the side of one of the ships where men were throwing the tea into the water and endeavored to put some in the boat, but the scoundrel saw me and tried to drown me, and I was glad to get back to the coaster again alive." Mitchell died in 1810, aged ninety-fiv- e years, Exchange. 1). G. McGINLEY & CO., Gents' Furnishings, Hats, AND FINE SHOES. 322 Street. Twenty-Fift- h OGKDEN, UTAH .: E Can Save You Money. Try Us.

While some workmen in Huntington, Ind., were cut ting down a lot to a proper level the other day, and when they were about six feet below the surface of the earth, some rude masonry was discovered. The structure formed a vault about six feet in diameter and three feet high. The stone composing the structure were of the limestone variety, and were of a kind that is never found in that city unless it is brought there. What the vault had been intended for is not known, as there was nothing found in it. It is thought to have been built by the mound builders. Philadelphia Ledger. Prostratnl Three Hundred Times. While working in a trench in front of Franklin institute R. G. Hume, an employe of the Gas bureau, was overcome by gas. He was resuscitated and continued his work, although he plainly showed the effects of the shock for an hour or more. Mr. Hume has been employed by the city in the Gas bureau for twenty-si- x years, and he has been prostrated by escaping gas not less than 300 times. He has often been taken in an unconscious condition to hospitals and dispensaries, but ho sticks to his task. It is his business to find and stop leaks. Philadelphia News. HARDWARE! II AIM HVARE!
