CHLORIDE JOHNNY AGAIx.-A letter
received by us from our friend Louis
Bauck, formerly a resident OF ,bis sec
ton, but now at Hamilton, White Pine,
gives us the following good item abou;
one OF the milliouaires of that famous
district. II seems that Chloride Johnny
got tired OF living on the regular pork
and beans diet of White Pine, and went
down to San Francisco to indulge in
some choice style:.of hash. He got him
self a fine suit of store clothes, aud took
up his quarters at u irst-class hotel.
The first time he sat down TO the dinner
table one Of the uniformed walters who
were hopping about so lively, attending
to everybody's wants, skipped up to
him with, "Soup, sirT" "No, | don't
want no soup; give me some roast beef"
says Johnny. Directly aaother waiter
came along, "Soup, STRIP NO roast
beef" A third waiter danced along
with, "Soup, sir?" and this time Johnny
go, out of patience, thinking by his
dress that il was the same f-llow each
time. SAYS he: Now you be id
with your soup. | don't want no soup /;
roast beafis what called for In due
course OF things the roast beef came on
with all its palatable accompaniment,
and Johnny Was ALI right. He laid in II
big feed OF it, and when he lett the Ia.
BILE his appetite was well s''ished.
Tina. evening he met lots of old ac'
q%uaintances about town, and TOOK so
many drinks in consequence. that some
of them had TO see him home TO his
room at the hotel and put him TO
bed early, when he was soon IN
the soundest kind OF II drunken
sleep. Now it so happened that next
room to his was u man lying helpless
with iniammatory rheumatism, brought
there only a day o. two before, aud II
waiter came up to give him his usual
bowl Of Cruel, feeding it TO him With II
big spoon. IL so happened that the
waiter got into the wrong room, and,
finding Johnay lying with his mouth
omen, mistook him in the dam candle
light for the patient, and merely saying
.sHere's your u sir" he commenced
ladliug il into his mouth. Juhnny gave
a big grunt, and next II terrible splurier;
he opened his eyes, and when he saw
that uniformed waiter with bowl and
spoon he comprehended the situation At
once. Up he raised, gAspIng, in the
bed. Says he: "Oh! damn you; its
you, is 1t? You couldn't be satisfied
till YOU could gi, yer cussed soup inter
me, couldn't yer? By the holy Jumper!
and out bounced Johnny in his shirt
tail. like q madmau, threw his boots,
wash basin, pitcher and other conve-
nient missiles after the terrified waiter,
as he fed for dear life from the room,
and then sat down on the Hoor to get
his wind and collect his ideas johnny
put on his clothes, called Tor has hiIl
aud left the house. That soup arrange
ment was a little too much Tor him
BETTER NANE.-Gamblins in any
form is popularity recognized MS +" sin,
and various in~geniou, devices are en'-
ploysd for gently INDUCING IN the Gov
e.ed vice without being actually deemed
rs misunderstanding the devil ronnd
the stump" we may say. All the most
aggravated forms of the vice are crowd
ed away from public gaze into back
rooms and out-of.the-way places. Even
cre,, rafies are discountenanced and
disguised under the name OF giit ea-
tortsinments," etc. Rattle is not a pop
ular name, even at church festivals,
where that mild form of gambling IS
more extensively indulge IN, and IN
greater variety and at,ractiveness thar
anywhere else. Religious people really
are getting fastidious in the matter, n
when they allow their children 10 IN
dulce in those little games OF chance, or
invite Others to do SO, they wish Il dis.
t;p.,iou 10 be made between this and
the more public style even if there real
" is no difference, for it is after all only
little sin committed for the benefit OF
n siuless church or some other good OBJ
iec,, the end jus,ifying the means.
Therefore il is that that common name
of "rsffe" ia objected To. In view oil
this delicate little point We have recent
" adopted q new name Tor IT, "Ieh-
tingent interests" is what we suggest IN
place of rattle tickets. IL SQUADS lar
more respectable and expresses the IDEA
perfectly, and If generally adopted ~
all future church fairs tho od'ous name
of rattle would be done away with.
