Little dirt we think the last time we met and shook the hand of our cordial and highly es teemed schoolmate and friend, that it would be our sad and solemn task to review his short but successful career with muffled pen and ir. mourning. Mr. Ogden was born in the year 186r, of one of the most highly respected and christian families in our community. He prepared himself for the work of tewshing school. Obtained means and attended the West Virginia Normal and Classical Academy, at Buckhannon. He afterwards attended the W. Va. Business College at Clarksburg, and graduated with highest honors. He has taught the home school at Prospect Valley for some years, but the death angel claimed him for its victim, but not before he was prepared. He was converted last winter and Uved a happy christian life until God called him home. Today he is happy with his friends in I heaven. Ho is dead but still he lives in the hearts and minds of all who knew him. He was young, -but never was there a nobler, manlier man." C. Ellis Chalfant, Prospect Valley. Li?t of Jnrors.

This was discouraging nows. At this the colonel called a council with Ins offloers, and in tho mean time ordered a smoke to be made on an eminence near camp, to attract, if possi ble, nn Indian from whouo some infor mation might be had in regard to a route or pass through the mountains to tho Gila Kiver. Perhaps it would lie well to tell tho meaning why n smoke is made on a hill or mountain. 1 have hoard it said bv who pretended to know, that among al1 tribes of Indians, n smoke on a lull or mountain was a signal of want or dis tress or of war and a smoke made in n valley was for peace and ou this occa sion-sur colonel wanted an Indian or! some out) who might be ablo to pilot lis i thro'n-h to the Gila by some "route where there wero both grass and water, I and for this reason a Bigual smoke was mado on tlio hill which indeed brought to camp some Mexicau .movers, tliev came dashing up on their steads fright ening one of our inon, who, happened to bo a little ways from oamp gathering wood. He dropped his load and ran for dear life, to the merriment of all who wit nessed it. about the route across the counti7 to the Gila, and it was decided by the couuoil to follow the copper mine road, which the guides said led in a south westerly direotion through Mexican settlements where food and fresh teams conld be had. It was said we were now in the pro vince of Chihuahua. The guides had never traveled this , route before but had beea across the I country several times to tho north and j soath of our trail and knew that if a mute oonld be found in the direotion tho colonel wisued to go that it would | save a great many marches. ? {Continued. \ H.

Johnny tied his little team to the prop when he heard" the cans and the torn cat aat on a tie with hl? tall across the rail, worked his smellers and glared at the rats. While he was watching the hop ping animals the wheel of a car cut off his tall two inches from his body, and be Instantly went yowling and spitting toward the mule barn. The cat's an tics made Johnny roar. "But he won't watch my rata again very won," he said. Soon the tripe stopped coming. It was the quitting hour, and Johnny turned the four rata loose, and said to the Tisltor: 0 II N S HOC II hooka hooka ears near fiwt of a deep I shaft inal.aok- | uwsnna valley coal mine, is a great friend of | rain, lie is four Iw .years of j age, nnd lie can handle the biggost and most vicious mine rots just as lie pleases without j being blltnu. No one else in the mine can do It, nnd the miners nnd mule drivers assert that Johnny has a mys terious power over the four-logged pests of the mine. Johnny never hurts I or kills a rut, although every other j laborer In tins mine slays every rut In gots a chnnce to, ami the foreman of j the tnule burn sets all sorts of traps for tho rata, anil keeps an army of cats to prey on them. It Is Impossible to exterminate the mine ra'.f. und Johnny Roche says lie 1.4 glad of it. Iieeause he would be lonesome if all the rats were killed The rats get into tho nilno In bales of hay for the mules nnd by backing down the till! ts'rs of the shaft They arrive und breed faster than tho 1 men nnd cats can kill Ihein. and Johnny is cheerful whenever u now hatch comes. A man fond of oddities fonnil out tho other day whon'lio was I owe roil into the mine that Johnny Hoohe's Way of catching rats with bis bore hands was very interesting. As soon as there was au interval between trips Johnny placed bis lamp on a chunk of coal at tho side of the gangway and crawled on his hands anil knee* into a chamber a few feet away, la a minute or so i big gray rat hopped along tho top of tho gob, between Johnny nnd the light, und the noxt instant Johnny's right hand shot out and caught the rat by the bark of the neck. lie brought tho rnt oat to the lamp to let tho visitor see It ami then ho looked In Its mouth, smoothed Its fur and held it up by the tail. Atiipof cars was com log, and Johnny slipped the rat Into lib coat piiiiket, unhooked the link, its nook and drove (t back and forth in the dim lijjht When the lad heard tho noxt trip rumbling throqgli the mine toward liiin ho fastened tho wick to a prop and attended to his duties. The rat didn't offer to yank away or to bite the wick in two, but it hopped about u little and then It sat upon its bind quarters, gazed at Johnny und aquealcil as though It wanted lilin to come and fondle It "I'll catch another rat now and harness it with this one," said the boy, and again ho crept Into the reeess and faced tiie lamp. The rat danoed around the pro"p, bnt didn't break loose, nnd Jnst Iwfore tho next trip eame Johnny nabbed another big rat and put it in his pocket As soon as the trip was gone Johnny sat down on a tie and let the seeohd rut runoverhia lap without touching It Tho rat might have jumped away, but it seemed to lio under a spell, anil when It had capered across the boy's legs a few times It crawled Into his coat and snuggled np us If It was going to take n uni>. Pretty soon Johnny took the rnt out und stroked it and showed its teeth to tho visitor. Then he held it up by the tail, and it curled np and stucl?ita nose be- | tween the lad's thumb and finger. Jleatnvhllo the other rat was squeal ing for Johnny to como and take it, and the yonng rat tamer got some more strands, hitched the two together j and drove them up and down too track. "Now I'll hide these ruts in my ooat j and catch two more," said tho boy. Another trip came Just then, anil when Johnny had unhooked It, he pulled off his eout, bnndled the rats up In It and crawled In tho hole. He had to como out three times to attend to the ears before he got the next rat, but In twen ty minutes he caught another and hitched them togother as before.
