DIGGER WOMEN ON THE TtRF.-The
Mariposa correspondent of the Stockton
Republican announces the following race
as having come off at French Camp, on
the Frezno, a few days ago. 1t was an
Indian squaw foot-race, distance three hun.
dred yards, purse $50. Messrs. Shannon
and Craddock entered Mustang" and
Bourland and Roane entered ''Chutilea. u
The race came off in the presence of large
number of Americans, about one hundred
Indians, and few Celestials. They made
handsome start, Mustang taking the lead
and coming through the pools about ten
feet in advance of her antagonist. Her
hackers banter her to run against any wo-
man in the State, without regard to age or
weight, any distance from three hundred
yards up to three miles, for $500 side.

Two MEN kLLED.-A terrible affray
occurred in the District Court room at Il,
Grange, Stanislaus county, on the even
ing of the Goth of March, between DR..
Summers and Martin Anderson. Sum
mers had difficulty with Mr.. Dickerson,
relative to lawsuit just terminated be
tween them, when scuffle ensued. but
they were separated. Summers then drew
a revolver and fired two shots at Ander-
son, which were returned by the latter
causing the death of both. A man named
kinkaid and Deputy Sheriff Clark were
also shot, but not seriously wounded
The Stockton Republican says that not
fewer than fifty shots were fired in the
space of ten minutes, and. the house in
which the afiray occurred is literally rid
died with bullets.
The Sonora Herald says that eight Or
ten persons were more or less wounded.

KEEPING SEcRErs.-Constantly | see
quoted, as if it were very excellent les
son in morals, the maxim, "Never expect
another to keep secret which you cannot
keep yourself" The maxim is the con
centrated essence of sel6shness and false
hood. To receive secrets, to hold them
sacredly land use them wisely in intercourse
with the depositors, is the highest office Of
friendship. The power to Keep another's
secret better than your own is one of the
surest signs of noble nature. The verv
impulse to con6de-thc eagerriess of the
''oer fraught heart' to relieve itsclf-is a
suggestion that another will keep its Sc
eret for. it, and love the more, and not the
less. All friendship, that is worth tho
name, is giving and receiving of conf
denceS. My friend is one to whom can
show myself as | am, without reserve, sure
of this sympathy and counsel hope he
will find me as ready to give as to take III
the commerce of love and service. If he
tells me secret of his, Twill strive to deal
with it, as he would have me do, if he
could enter my mind and regulate my
thoughts. If by insight or observation /
come to know what | have reason to be
lieve he would not have me know, or if, in
a moment of excitement, he himself tells
me what when soberer fear he would
wish blotted from my memory-then |
will hold such Secret more guardedlv
than even one which he has formally en-,
trusted to my keeping. | am never afraid
OF knowing too much of my friend. am
sure | can get more readily at his worst
than at his best; and my happicst hour is
that in which ! look up to him and think
him my superior If he were not noble |
should not have chosen him-if he is, /
will trust in him, though he slay me.
lfyou find this philosophy too high-strung,
then look you to it quickly, and make up
your souls accounts-for the fault is in
you, and not in the philosophy.

INvENToRs.-Th world is more large
ly indebted to inventors than the people
have any idea of. The genius that pro-
duced stove that would readily burn an
thracite coal, doubled the par value Of
Pennsylvania coal. In 1910, the coal

Why don't You take the Paper?

BY N. p. WILLIS.
Why don't you take the paper
They're the life of my delight
Except about election time,
And then read for spite.
An old newspaper friend of mine,
While dying from cough,
Desired to hear the latest news
While he was going of.
took the paper and read
Of some new pill in force
lie bought box-and is he deads
No-hardy as horse
I knew printers debtor once,
Racked with scorchng fever
She swore she'd pay her bill next day
II her distress would leave her.
Next morning she was at her work,
Divested of her pain,
But she forgot to pay Der debt,
Till taken down again.
"Here, Jessie, take these silver wheels,
p- Go pay the printer now p
She spoke and slept, and then awoke
With health upon her brow
knew two men as much alike
4i As e'er you saw two stumps,
And no phrenologist could find
A difference in their bumps.
One took the papers, and his life
Is happier than kings;
His children all can read and write,
And talk of men and things.
The other took no paper, and
While strolling through the wood,
tree fell down upon his crown
And killed him "werry good''
Had he been reading of the news
At home like neighbor Jim,
III bet a cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't you take the papers
Nor from the printer sneak,
Because you borrow from his boy
paper every week.
For he who takes the paper,
And pays his bill when due,
Can live in peace with Ged and man,
And with the printer, too.
