The Heather Chinee.

Dr.. bod Grille (Ambros BierceJ has publshe ed
book from which the following California
anecdote is taken:
One day in'49, an honest miner up in Calaveras
county bit himself with small snake of the
garter variety, and either as q possible antidote,
or with the determination to enjoy the chief
remnant of lost life, applied trimming jug OF
whisky to his lips and kept it there until, like q
repletsi leech, if fell of
The man fell of likewise. The next day,
while the body lay in state upon pine slab,
and the be-eayed partner of the deceased was
Chinaman, the game was interrupted by a
familiar noise which seemed to proceed from the
jaws of the corpse.
Il say-Jimi"
Bereaved partner played the king of spades,
claimed high and then looking over his
shoulder at the melancholy remains, replied.
Well, what is it Dave? I'm busy"
i say, JimW Repeated the corpes in the same
measured tone.
With look of intense annoyance and NUT
te-ing something about people that could never
stop dead more n q minute" the bereaved part
ner stood over the boty with his cards in his
hand
Jim" continued the mighty dead, chow
fGr's this thing gone ?"
I've paid the Chinaman 81 90 to dig tho
grave" responded the bereaved.
Did he strike anything"
The Chinaman looked up.
Me strikee pay dirt; me no bury dead
Mclean man in EN- grave, me keep en- claim"
The corpse sat up erect.
Jim, get my revolver and chase that pigtal
of. Jump his sepulcher and tax his camp s.
each for prospectin' on the public domain
These Mongolyun hordes hez got to be put un-
der. And l say, Jim if any more serpents
