unlike the poor
yeast kind, is free from
sourness and acidity, and
retains freshness aud mois-
ture longer than bread made
with'any other yeast.
Yeast Foam is a purely
vegetable yeast made of the
finest malt, hops, corn and
other healthful ingredients.
It never grows stale, aud may
be kept on haud all the time.
The secret is in the yeast.
Yeast Foam is sold by all
grocers in neat 5c packages,
1 each containing 7 cakes—
enough for 4° loaves.

Some Work to Do.
It to not vealth r>r fame I aak.
Put Just some ploiit and simple task
By which to ease my brother s load
That halts his footsteps on life' road
Long as the day this work should t.e.
Then, when night comes to shelter me
'Neath her dark wing* where nestle*
sleep.
As under gloaming clouds, the deep,
rii calmly rest with dream-sealed eye
Amid my homely harmonies.
gome work to «o—aome work, forsooth.
To drown the Idleness of youth.
It matters not the wage, the moll.
If but the Master's love assoll.
On some hl*h craig that guards th#
main,
Guiding * lone t>ark home apaln;
Sowing the see«ls of plenty where
The whistling plowboy points his share;
C.eavlng the mountain's rock-ribbed side.
Trimming a Ball adown the tldo.
Oh, this were fortune: Just to he
A worklngman, contented, free
As some great eagle that defies
The sun to dim his splendid eyes—
To feel In blood and breast and breath
Ths forea that flings its glove at death;
To find In toll the careless glee
That wild birds lilt from tree to tree.

NOT MEANT FOR COMMAND
British Soldier's Outspoken Opinion
of His General,
A week or two ago I told a story
or two of Sir Reginald Hart. Hero la
a new story with regard to his broth
or, Gen. Hart-Synnot, who commanded
the Irish brigade with Buller a army
In Natal. After Colenso, Gen. Hart—
who will be remembered as the hero
of the "third-class shot" story- went
round the men In hospital belonging
to his brigade. He had a cheery word
for them all. and prest itly he came
to the bedside of an old blear-eyed
reservist, who could scarcely keep his
mouth from twitching Irom the agony
he was suffering. "Veil, my mac
how are you?" said the general. Has
ier, general—but 't's no thanks to jou.
for though you may be the bravest
man that ever was, you ain't built to
command a lot of blooming ducks,
much less men like we!"—Navy and
Army Illustrated.
The First Hansom Cab.
The hansom cab was the invention
of Joseph Hansom of Birmingham,
England. But the two-wheeled cab
which he patented In 1S34 little re-
sembles the vehicle that now bears
his name. It had a square sedan-
chair shaped body hung between two
wheels nearly eight feet high. The
driver's soot was in front, as also was
the door. The passenger entered <he
;ab between the wheei and the shaft
The modem hansom was adapted

Think Goats Bring Good Luck.
English medical papers are com-
menting on the remarkable survival
of superstition at Cambridge, where
a dairyman possessed of a goat is
tending the animal, by request, Into
and around the houses of his neigh-
bors In nn area affected by the small-
pox. The rustic superstition that
goats bring good luck is widespread
and tho London I.ancet quotes many
Instances.
Mnrlqulta Jonephn Marin waa her
name, according to the baptismal rec-
ords In the little white mission church
at Ran JuuU ero. Over at Happy Chance
we culled her Quita.
Some way she aet'incd to lielons more
to Ilnppy Chance than she did to San
Junlpero, with Its soft toned bells and
the solitude of cloistered gardens. She
was tall and slim and sunburned, with
Hps like the heart of a rose and dark
shadowy eyes that looked sidelong r.t
one and made the earth seem an excel-!
lent place to live In.
Before Happy ChivmV had opened up
as a silver mining center the shack of
old Tom Ferrler had held its own up j
on the mountain side ami dominated
the whole valley. No one knew when
It had been built. Ferrler had drifted
from csmp to camp dow n through Col-
orado and crosswise through the Sie: |
ras until Mexico was the limit, and h
found Happv Chance. It was a bit « i
the wiklernejs that hod escaped fo."
tune seekers and railroad surveyor.,,
and he held it for hl3 own and be-
lieved that some day he would be a Sli-
ver king.
In earnest of that belief ho had bu.it
the shack and married Dolores R'llz,
daughter of tho old Mexican who
claimed tho valley by prior right. The
result was a success In a way. There
were no signs of sliver, but there was
Quitn.
When the strike (lid come, fifteen
years later, both Ferrler and the Mex
lean lay in the deep sleep up amor.„'
the pines on the hills, and from the
lone shack Quita and licr mother look-
ed down on the valley and saw tho cho-
sen of the I.onl of Mammon sweep
away their Canaan aud its wealth. But
tney were wise, being women, and
showed no fnht, nnd Happy Chance rj
a law abiding community reviewed
their case and admitted them to a sliaie
In the profits of their own property
and shook hands with Itself over Its
generosity.
The summer after tho striko Larry
Carroll alighted In camp, and wo en-
tertained him unawares, uot seeing
any wings. Wo had beard of Lurry
before. He was 0 gentlemanly boy
with a good record behind him of ways
of honor. He was a miner, but he nev-
er rained. He would follow tho cry of
fame to a tew camp and laze around
for a few weeks until ho found a claim
that suited him. He paid In cash, and
tho camp would see him no more until
one day he would come back with some
poor innocent of a capitalist he had
corralled, aud the claim would chanp •
bauds, and Larry would ride 011 in tri
umpli, ten thousand to the good.
It showed a depth of Intuitive wis
dom that the world respected, and Ilap
py Chance welcomed him; also ho had
a winning way with women, lie was
gay hearted and debonair and master
fill, with eyes of Irish blue and hair
like a water spaniel, chestnut curled.
He never wooed with words; only with
his eyes. They were sufficient. You car.
not make or.t a case against a man on
the score of tender eyes. So Larry rode
scot free over a highway of slghin.:
hearts until he struck Happy Chance
and Quita.
There was a dance at Dorrity's the
night he came, and he rambled in. Qui
ta was dancing, anil as lie stood li> the
doorway, watching, she whirled by
him on "big Sim Kawdon's arm, and the
cluster of scarlet mountain flowers she
wore in her lialr fell at Larry s feet.
Sim went back for them. They were In
the breast pocket of Lurry's shirt, aud
the two went outdoors to settle the ar
gument for possession, while Quita
perched herself on a window sill and
smiled contentedly.
It was the beginning of a state of
affairs which Happy Chance resented.
Kawdon owned the biggest claim in
camp and if we ever grew to be a city
we Intended making him mayor or
chief of police or something interest-
ing. In the dream of the future Quita
had shared his honors in our minds.
She belonged to Happy Chance, it
was right t'-.at she should have the
best article In Its marriage market
and neither Sim nor Qutfa had object
ed up to date. But with the coming of
Larry there w-as a chance. We cur-
ried Sim home from tlw dance with a
bullet In his shoulder, ami Larry went
back and finished tho waits with Quita.
The uext day Sim went to tho shack
with a banlaged shoulder and spoke
up like a miui, know-lug thut public
sentlmetrt wus with him. When he
came back he Invited u< uli to ttw wed
ding, and Lurry tipped his choir far
ther back on the shady stoop of the
Silver Star cud whistled softly.
The wedding was set for the follow
lug Saturday, and Slui rode every day
to the shack and won back with n
smile on his lips aud a spray of scarlet
flowers from the vine that grew oj;
Qnita's hillside. But Saturday at
sunset, when he rodu after his bride,
lie came back without smile or flow-
ers and told his story to the crowd
that waited In the Silver Star Quita
was gone. Old Dolores said sl*o had
been carried off by tho dsvll M*ith the
jrltli eyes to the mountains, nnd Sim
.sked for company.
We were willing to go. She was a
home product. r.nd we didn't propose
having any stray blue eyed maverick
come out of the north CDd steal her
awa.7.
I'p through the valley we rode that
night forded the Ynrba Just below
the falls and took to the broken trull
that led to the mountains on the Cali-
fornia line. Larry.-W^s making for the
malice; "How do you like it. gettln
caught yourself? Ain't you ready to
cry quits with the big trout?"
"How do von know I caught him?"
Heckley retorted. The girl shruirgcl
her slioulders the least bit. "I watch-
ed you—to wish you bad luck- you
were so rude." she said And as she
said It lie noted that neither accent
nor Intonation was rustic. He looked
at her appallingly. "1 was rude n
perfoct brute," he said. "Do please j
forgive II'O and go fetch somebody to
help me out of this."
"I'll help you out myself on two
conditions." .less said, dimpling beau-
tifully. lbs kley twwed meekly. "Only
name them," he said. "1 he first In—
cut your line." Jess retorted promptly.
"The big trout Is a friend of mine.
I've fed him now and again ever since
I we came here."
"Henceforth he Is sacred." Hockley
said, slashing his line and tossing the
j rod away. "Now for condition sec-
ond."
"You sh "II hear that when you're out
of tl>e woods - and water," Jess an-
I swerod, dimpling again. I11 a whiff s
had to run to a foot log a llttle'way 119
stream, crossed It and was beside
Beckley. n stout fence stake In her
hand. "Oct a good purchase with it
an.l push the rock down stream," she 1
eou.maruloO. "The current will help
you If It Is slow hero in the pool. Now'.|
All together! There. It's over. V>u
can come out or stay In, as you choc ;e.
P.e careful, though. If you stand on this
side to tish-the bluff Is all honey-
combed with wnter veins since last
winter. The next landslip may be
heavy enough to bury you."
"There will bo no next landslip with
me nround." Beckley said, scrambling
out "I ought to have known better
without telling. Vou see, I grew up
less than three miles from where we
stand. So I have guessed your name.
Miss Wilmot do please accept my
thanks, my humblest apologies. I be-
lieve. too, you said something about a
condition. I am waiting very impa-
tiently to ta-sar it."
"It's horribly hard for a man who
likes to fish," j«ss said, her eyes danc-
ing. "Because it Is this, you must go
to our picnic and be. oh, wonderfully
civil to us country folk!"
•4 shall be more than civil, abject,
to some among Mie country folk,'
Beckley said, holding out his hand.
Jess laid her pink palm, slightly hard-
ened by steady churning. In his ciusp
and said gayly, "If you try to run
away from your bargain you'll taUe
along nil the bad luck I wished you."

Professional Swearer.
A man leaped from a car In tho ele-
vated station, ran at the swinging
doors nnd butted them open with bis
suit case and tore down through the
passenger shoot into the Union depot.
He took the stairway In a few jumps,
nearly knocked down several men as
he rushed through the waiting room
and reached the platform In time to see
the rear end of his train disappearing
around the curve at Bluff street. Then
he halted, the suit case dropped to the
floor, he took off his hat, wiped his
forehead and began to swear loudly.
Just then one of the depot passen-
ger directors stepped up to him and
said:
"Wo have a man to do that, sir."
"To do what?"
"To do the swearfig for people who
miss trains. There's so much of it to
do here that we've hired an old switch-
man to do the swearing for 'em all."
The man looked for a minute as if he
would fight. But ho said nothing. He
quietly picked up his suit case and
walked back into the depot. Kansas

The Important Comma.
A Philadelphia business man thinks
he has an exceedingly bright offlce boy,
and nothing pleases him better,, says
the l'hiladelphla Telegraph, than to
tell how he acquired the youngster's
services. A short time ago he posted
In his shop window a notice which read
as follows: "Boy wanted about four-
teen years." A lad of that age, with
little that was prepossessing in his ap-
pearance, came Into tho oli.ee and
stated that ho had read tho notice.
"Well, tV) you think you would like
to have tho position, my boy':" asked
the merchant, gazing patronizingly
o\*er the rims of his spectacles at the
unabashed youth.
"Ye.V come the prompt answer, "I
want tho Job, but I don't know that 1
con promise to keep it for tho full
fourteen year*."
Tbeu tlw merchant rememboml that
be had left out a comuia on his sign,
but ho told the boy lie might have tho
position.

fa tho mudfish, which Inhabits certain
of tho rivers of western Africa and, as
Its naffia Implies, lurka at tho bottom
of these rivers. In that region the riv-
ers are liable to periodical droughts.
When such u drought is Imminent, tho
fish netlrea to deep water and exca-
vates a pit, Ui which it lie*, covering
itself over with a thick Liver o( mud.
It call then hour with Impunity tho
