How the strike Was Made.
Symkins was poor last July; yes,
''poor indeed" But he had a friend;
just one friend left, and that friend was
one OF the 30, sprins-oi-'5O kind. He
stuck to Symkins through thick and
thin, and at last; at last! he made him
what he is to-day. He gave him a point
in California; he told Symkins that that
vould be his salvation; to beg. borrow
or hypotheeate everything for aloanand
invest the total amount in California.
Symkins worried himself and all his
friends. and at the end VI six weeks he

When Symkins got his money from

would not DO advisable to pack his
wealth around with him, so he took a
seat in one Of Jake Whites bussss and
