"With pleasure. am the Coroner.
Don't hurry on my account. l can wait

"Take myplace and I'll get you one, "
L said
He declined. This lack of confidence
on his part created a GOODNESS between
us, and from that time forward L avoided
him.
1t was my idea in case anything hap
pened to me to SO time the occurrence as
to throw my custom into the hands Of
the opposition Coroner over on the Amor
lean side.
AT last policeman came along and AZ
rested me for disturbing the peace by
yelling for help.
The Judge fined me. But L had the
advantage of him. My money was with
my pantaloons, which were with the
Indians.
Thus L escaped. | am now lying in n

/ am hurt all over, but L cannot tell
the extent yet, because the doctor is not
done taking the inventory.
He will make out my manifest this
evening. However, thus far. he thinks
only SIX of my wounds are fatal. don't

Winter Ventilation.

Whatever may be said ab mt the direct
effects of winter upon health, there is at
least one indirect operation of it that
cannot but be regarded as highly detrl-
mental. We mean the want OF fresh
air, to which so many people are sub
iected, or TO which they subject them
selves. We shall not stop to speak Oi
anything in this connection but school
roems. How many pupils have then
health impaired from this cause we do
not know ; but we are convinced that u
would require much less paper and ink
to give list of those who are not thus
affected than of those who are. Kind
hearted people, on a windy, stinging
day, frequently commiseratc those use

Jim hadn't cent, so they worked it roun',
An give him two hours to leave the town
Then he cum over hyar an pitched in with a VIII
To sinkin' shaft up thar on the hill.
He built him a cabin near TO his clam
An lived on nuthin but mountain game
Folks tho't he war crazy fur trying 10 mine
Whar thar want show o. "prospect" or "sign,"
But Jim KEEP on, all thought to his ruin,
Tho the ouss seemed to know jst what he war
doin.
An we let him go-an' fur six years time
He worked on thet shaft 'thou. maxim a dime.
An then We tho't he war crazy for sure,
So we called a mcetin' down TO the store,
An passed unanimous vote thet the least
We could do war to send him back to the East
The hat passed round, an the dust raised right
thar
To pay for his passage and something TO spar,
an then we went arter him up to the hole,
But when we got thar, sir, declar' 'ron my soul
We saw sich a sight that, stranger, III swar
1t made US all open our peppers an star.
Fur thar war Jim on his knees an jist
starin at something lie he'd III his INST,
An as soon as he seed us he looked kinder odd,
An winkin one eye he sad :" Struck Ter, begod.'
He went down in the shaft an, stranger, hope
To swing in mint from the end OF "A rope
IF the cuss hednt struck ten foot vein
o. purity ven see again.
He'd starved fur six year on a casional bite,
An worked like thunder from mornin till night
An while we war thinkin' him crazy, the seed
War goin right down million lead.
An now he's rich an got oceans o. stock
Down thar on the plains-an' owns hull block
In Laramie City an-hyar comes Jim,
That man drest in buckskin, stranger, thets him."
This is the story the miner told
To me way out in the land of gold.
