HOW THEY USED the OLD NAN.

DIR. Henry Soutbell, an old. maa Of sixty.
lives with his son-in-law on Hssiipgs street..
and it is said the aged pioneer hss tempsr
like bear poked. up with hot .pitchfork !.
He grun;s and snarls around Ut everytbins.
and everybody, and there. i no.peace in tho
house until his eyes are closed in sleep. He
took a new tack few days ago, aud threat.
ened to- commit suicide .if his whims were
not humored:' The family didn't really
think he would do such a thing, but thew
wern't sure, and go they. were rather soft on
him for few days. Saturday night he got
some odd notion into his head, and bis fami-
ly fatty refused to crafty It,. He -sad be
would take poison, but they were frm.-
Along in the night he was heard eroanine.
and rolling around, having an attack of bill
ious collie, and the family reused up under
the idea that be had. taken deadly dose.
He wouldn't say be, hadn't, as b. wanted
to have revenge on them. The boy ran for
the doctor, the woman hunted the mustard.
and the son-in-law dashed about after esgs. ).
He got couple. broke the whites into 1.
teacup. and ordered the old man to open bis
potato trsp.. Old msp wouldn't. but. he Mas.

were followed by mustard. He shut BID,
gums together. but the son-in-law sat down
on him and jabbed the end Of tooth brush
into his mouth until be opened il. When
the old man heard them ,cau -foF. .teiid water.
he said it wasn't case. Of poisoning, but
they rammed the TOOTH brush. at bis
gums again and he had to drink half pint
Of warm water. The son-in-law said hs
wasn't going to have his family disgraced
by a suicide in the house, and he shouted
for more eggs. The old man tried to beg.
of, but they held his head. jerked down his
chin, and the eggs went down bis throat
While waiting for the doctor the son-in-law
got the old man out Of bed, and pranced
him up and down the hall with nothing on
him but long night shirt. He made tho
pioneer get up and travel like buffalo,
leading him over chairs and up and down
aud around. The old man shouted again;
and again that be hadn't tried to commit
suicide, but the son-in-law said it was to6,
thin, and continued to prance him until the
doctor said it was morphine, and he whipped
out stomach pump and rolled up biz
sleeves. The old man begged that they
wouldn't pump him out, but they were 6rm.,
He was thrown down and held fast. and
they jingled the rubber tube down his throat
and the doctor manned the brakes and
pumped away. He said it was grave
tase. but it was barely possible that the pa.
tient might be saved. He pumped away
until the reservoir was empty, and then
they ran the old man around again, fed him
more eggs. felt his pulse, gave him some
more warm water, and the doctor said it
was the incest little case be had for six
months. The old pioneer is abed yet. but
is recovering. and bis son-in-lsw expects the.
most gratifying results from the experience.

TO THE GIRlS.;

The Pittsburg Christian Aduocate closes
an interesting editorial on the girls ss fol-
lows:
"The boys, it must be owned, are .
rough set. Somebody has described them
as SO many natural born savages. Now,
there is no doubt at all that the boys are.
rough, and men, too. All the more need
is there that girls should not be. There ID
nothing in the world go offensive to right
minded people as Tom in petticoats-a
girl initiating the rude, coarse and boisterQus
manners of the other sex-a girl climbing
apple trees, swinging on the gate. riding q
bare-backed horse, playing bop-scoch. and
leap frog, and running foot-races---a girl
staggering and rollicking along the street.
as-though it will hardly be believed-we
saw one doing not long ago, with stick 10
her hand and cigarette in her mouth! Any.
of these things is bad enough. but the last
is monstrous. We don't want to see girl
shooting cats. or setting snares for birds and
rabbits. We. .deplore the slightest approach

gestive to vulgarity, though for that matter

MIN1sa PROPERTY EXEMPT FROM Exrcu-
r'oN.-Few miners are, perhaps, aware
Of the provisions Of the exempted mining
law, passed by the Legislature during the
session Of 1912. The fifth subdivision
Of said law contained in the statute Of that
term, page 865, reads as follows:
ExlMPr. E'rhe claim or dwelling Of a
miner, not exceeding in value the sum Of
five hundred dollars; also, his sluices, pipes
hose, windlass, derrick. cars, pumps. tools,
implements. and appliances necessary for
carrying on any mining operations, not ex-
ceeding 10 value the aggregate sum Of five
hundred dollars. and two horses, mules, OF
oxen, With their harness, and food for such
horses. mules. or oxen, for one month, when
necessary to be used in any wl,im. windass,
derrick. car, pump, or h,isting gear; and
also. bis mining claim, actually worked by
him, not exceeding in value the sum Of one
thousand dollars.

ss FULL CASH VALuE.-The Bee has often
intimated in the gentlest manner possible
that San Francisco does rot come near pay
ing her just share Of State taxation; and in
proof we offer the fact that the Lick prop

day--the Lick House not otincluded- brought
1858, 700, whereas it is assessed for only
$585 800. or about 60 per cent. of its val
ue! And yet the law requires the Assessor
to list all property at its full cash value
But even after it is thus assessed-we will
not say fraudulently. although it is fraud
on the balance of the State-numerou Of
her rich men refused to pay their taxes. and
that city owes the State now over half q
