The Shoe Peesness Preferred.

A man near 70 years of age started a
Snail confectionery store few months
since, and sent word to his three credi-
tors up town and desired to compromise.
The trio went down to the store, which
they found in full blast, and the four
sat down for talk.
=" You see, shentlemen, I do no pees-
ness, and my family eats up all the
profits, he said by way of an excuse.
You owe me twelve dollars" replied
one of the creditors, "and each of these
others fifteen apiece. That makes for.
ty-two dollars"
"Shust forty-two," sighed the old
" Now, then, how much money have
you on hand?"
"Shust sixty dollar and no more"
/" Very we'll, as you have had bad luck
we will settle with you for one hundred
and twenty cents on the dollar, and you
can go on as BEFORE"
" Yaw, I will do dot, shentlemens
and am much obliged for such kind
treatment"
He got out his money, the 20 per
cent. was added to the claims and paid,
and before the creditors retired he in
sisted on treating them to ice-cream.
They had not been gone an hour be-
fore the old man rushed out, hailed a
policeman and said:
IF I fails in peesness und bays one
dollar und twenty cents on the dollar
What does it mean?"
ut means that you don't understand
how to fall" was the reply.
Ish dot possible?" whispered the
old man.
" I should say So" .s....
Vhell, go back to the shoe pees-
ness again. When I fails in dot pees-
ness I makes everythings. When I
fails in dis peesness pays more as ]
owes" ...

A Drenched Buttercup.

There was a scene on "Her Majestyis
Ship Pinafore" at the Zoo" one night
that was not down on the bills, and that
came within an ace of converting that
charming musical burlesque into real
tragedy. The gallant craft was built on
piles and planked up from the waters
edge. On the port side a broad plat
form projected from the side of the ves-
sci on level with the water. This
platform wss used as an s'entrance" by Sir
Joseph Porter, his cousins, and his Sis
tiers, and his aunts, and by Buttercup
also. These parties was brought to the
ship in small boat, which this time
moored rather carelessly. When the
''cue" for Miss Estelle Mortimer's
entrance was given, she stepped on the
platform and began saying: "Hail!
Men-of-wars-men." She had hardly got
in the sight of the audience when her
foot tripped on the rope of the boat,
and the next moment she stepped into
the water of the lake, which just there
is full fifteen feet deep. As she disap-
peared from sight she threw her basket
on the deck of the ship and then
clutched wildly at the board from which
she had stepped. In her sudden des-
cent her arms were cruelty scraped
and her skin abraded, but, though her
head went clear under the water, she
did not lose her presence of mind, and
as soon as she came to the surface she
caught the board firmly with both
hands. The audience and her fellow
performers were terribly excited, but
half-dozen gallant foretopmen drew her
from the water into the small boat, from
which she was taken into the cabin of
the "Pinafore." The plucky little lady,
who is as nervy as she is beautiful and
talented, wished to go on with her part
all dripping as she was, but better
counsel prevailed. Of course it was
necessary for her to exchange her wet
garments for dry raiment, but here
difficulty arose. Her trunks were at
the Burnett House, and so were those
of those of the other ladies of the
troupe. However, costume must be
faked," and by dint Of borrowing a
skirt from one lady and what-do-you-
call-'em, etc., etc.. from the others, she
soon contrived to look the part she had
to play, and it is needless to say that
the reception accorded her when she
stepped on the deck was warm enough
to drive from her mind all thoughts of
her chilly bath of few moments be-
fore, and she finished her part the her.

That these are strawberries!"
Then out of the little teapot
She gravely pours the tea

They sit and gossip and linger,
And toy with fork and spoon,
While CLOVIS towards its sunset hour
The pleasant afternoon.
All, Biddy is calling supper!

Teddy has dropped his little cat,
And Bessie leaves her doll;
While Tony, eager as any,
Rushes with all his might.
For guests who Just have left feast
They show fine appetite!

STOCKS.


There was n good market in the morning
but it weakened in the afternoon, especially
at the north end, on account of the rumol
that the survey had resulted in the discovery
that there was a deficiency of ten feet. The
evening Chronicle has the following by the
terms of the settlement made last year the
line was fixed at u point 800 feet north OF the
south line of the ground covered by the
patent of Union Con. and 200 feet south OF
the north line of the same, 1T having been
supposed at the time that the patent embraced
600 feet. The survey made by l. K. James
shows that the boundaries of the patent en-
brace only 500 feet, so that the line provided
for by the compromise, which must leave 800
feet on one side and 200 on the other cannot
be drawn. Mr.. Hoffman is making q survey
20 ascertain if that made by Mr.. James is cor
rect When his report is submitted the
question will be open for discussion between
the two companies. Retaining the same pro
portion as 200 and $40 to 600, and taking
800 as the true basis, the line could be fairly
and 245 90 from the north SO that each
company would lose its portion of the ten
feet deficient in the patent.
This obstacle was discovered day or two
ago"

LOU. WALKER IN BODlE.
slME BECoLLsCrioNS OF HIS OLD RANCH NEAR
MARYSVILLE


Louis Walker, of Reno, who has just re
turned from Bodie, has been interviewed by
a Gaz tie reporter, who says:
The need of church is becoming more ano
more urgent every day, and Mr.. Walker took
a great interest in the efforts that are being
made to establish a place of worship for the
devout of Bodie He called upon several OF
the acting clergy of the place, and was told
that the deaths from pneumonia were pro
ducng beneficial effect in the way of direct
ing the inhabitants towards the consideration
of the probabilities OF a hereafter. Ia spite
of the seeming implety and all-prevadlng
wordliness Of the place, he is inclined to think
| that there Is strong undercurrent OF rellg-
ions feeling in Bpdie, although it runs very
deep. Mr.. Walker conversed with many citi
zens on the subject of the church and he said
that most of them thought very favoraby of
the project and believed it would pay well.
When the town gets worldly that Lou
Walker thinks church ought to be started
it must really need one. The APPEAL man
has known Lou for many years miser
able sinner, but as kind hearted and honest
rain OF shine he is the same two-and-fou
pence all the while 1t is a real oratorical
treat to hear the man swear. Many
years ago when Lou. Owned a ranch on the
Honcut, near Marysville, the APPEAL reporter
spent a couple of weeks with him. When the
air was soft and balmy in the afternoon Lou.
would insist on getting all hands out IN the
woods to hunt jack rabbits, thousands of
which abound in that section His wife would
generally 90 along to see the fun, and her
sisters, cousins and aunts would JOIN the
crowd to laugh at the nimrods whenever
they missed a.shot.. One day Lou. saw a
jack rabbit over hundred yards away and
said he would crawl up on it and kill it. He
stole mp into clump of trees and was crawl
ing on his hands and knees abont seventy five
yards away, when his wife began to inquire
about the size of the shot i'll the reporters gun.
that it was loaded with fine bird
shot she secured the loan of it, and resting it |
over log, turned loose upon the broad target |
Lou was far enough away to be |
safe and had on thick corduroy pants. He had |
just fired on the jack rabbit and laid it out

explosions were almost simultaneous, and
Lou. bounded in the air like a roebuck.
When he came down the silent woods re-
sounded with blasphemy boom which
