The Crushed Serenader.

Young Bilkins went to serenade his
girl on Van Ness avenue. The amateur
orchestra, of which he is member, had
hardly squealed out the two bars of
"Come Where My Love Lies Dream
ing" when the second story window
went up and old Boggs, Amelia's father,
stuck his head out and remarked:
as there no way of compromising
this thing4'
"What-w-w what" gasped Bilkins.
81 say, can't we make some arrange
ments to get out of this matter How
does 81 and an old gas stove strike you. "
"Why-this-this is \ serenade," ex-
claimed Bilkins
EXACTLY; so ] see. Now, suppose
were to stand the beer and car fare all
round, wouldn't you so out in the
suburbs somewhere and work off the
rest of it in front of some deaf and
dumb asylum or other2'
"Well, I'm blowed !" calculated the
crushed lover.

to the end of that big trombone. Don't
point it this way, for heavens sake; it
might 60 of. "
''Come down here and say that, like a
man," roared the big drum, who was full
of Budweiser and fury. "You bald
headed old pelican, come down"
'I-I-think we had better-better go,
as it We're, boys" murmured the morti-
fed Bilkins, and the disguised band
walked sadly of, scornfully ignoring
Boggs parting injunction to reform and
lead better lives, after the thing blew
over.-San Francisco News Letter.

An Indian Father.

Little Big Man, formerly Nor,he m

came rushing into the Agency yesterday.
his horse running with full speed, and he
singing warpath' song, in nude con-
dition the blood streaming down his legs
and very much excited. He jumped
from his pony and ran mo the agents
office and asked for a gun. On being in

stamped the floor cried aid pulled his

hours before and had burned to death.
The physician in company with Col.
o. Berne, Mr.. Mou and the Interpreter,
proceeded at once 10 the camp, seven
miles away, where they found the child
dressed in clean calico, amusing hers
self by playing with wax doll baby, and
ealing stringed dried apples. The Doc
tor found quite an extensive burn on her
RICH, leg and also on the right side Of her
body, but thinks her injuries are not Of
serious character. 1t seems that before
the woman found out how bad the child
was burned they inforemd the Little Man
that she was burned up beyond all hope
Of recovery, whereupon the Chief began

himself had it not been for other Indians

The Master Mule.

This morning couple of miners were
seated on bowlder alongside the road
to Sutro, discussing the kicking powers
of the mule. One had Just returned
from Sutro and the other was on the way

rock they sat down for talk

"The worse mule | ever saw, said the
other, "was in Phoebe some years ago.
1t was one l owned. One day it rubbed
against some nails sticking out of post,
and it turned square round and drove
those nails in one by one, using a single
blow of the hoof with the iron shoe on
for each nail 1t pever missed its lick
and always drove em just into the
head. Then he saw few tacks on the
post, little lower down, which were
only half driven in, and he drove them
in too, with light taps of the hoof, just
as gentle and easy as could be. One
day a man came along and set out a can
of nitro glycerine and giant powder. He
wanted the mule to kick it and then get
killed. saw him about the corral with
the can, and knew what was up. AT
first l was going to stop him, but then l
thought if my mule was any kind of
mule at all he could take care of himself.
So l just watched. Well, the mule saw
the can, and walking up, smelt of it, and
then squared himself for the kick The
man was sneaking off, and just as the
mule was going to kick the can he
caught sight of the Teller and changed
his position, so that his tail was toward
the man. He lifted his tail just like he
was taking aim and let fly his right hoof.
The can went flying through the air and
hit the man square in the rear just as
he was getting over fence about hun
dred feet away. The thing exploded,
and I never saw the man again. But
next morning Pat Holland came out in
the Record and said tho town had been
visited by a shower of blood.

Save the Pence.

The use of small savings has not been
enough insisted upon. We have had
plenty of light on cooperation in labor
and in expenditures, and there has been
no end to the wild schemes for making
men wealthy by short and easy meth
DDS, as by redistribution of property,
the limitless manufacture of paper
money, etc. But the slow, simple, old
fashioned plan for providing for to-mor-
rows contingencies by setting aside
portion of to-day's receipts has fallen
sadly into disuse. 1t is tedious business
and not at all in accord with the prevail
ing desire to get rich all of q sudden and
with triAing exertion. We are all fami-
lar with the calculation which shows
how much ten cents a day or twenty
cents day laid aside or put out at in
terest will amount to, twenty, thirty or
forty years hence. But we smile at the
figures as mere freak of enthusiasts,
and souander every day upon insignif-
cant enjoyments or out of sheer care
lessness sums of money which, if saved,
would make the ''rainy day."
which lies somewhere in waiting
for most of us, n good deal
brighter that it is likely to be otherwise
1t is probable that the "hard times"
from which we are emerging, have helped
to teach this lesson, and that more people )
than formerly will be disposed to test the
utility of small savings, 1t is bad
enough, out of an income of ego to
spend f2O and make no provision for
the future, but the trouble with most
of us has been that we have been spend
ing the extra shilling which was not
ours to spend. Hence our settlements"
at considerably less than one hundred
cents on the dollar.-Boston journal

Zinc.

1t is surprising what an amount of
zinc is consumed in the United States
in the various industries into which it
enters. Hundreds upon hundreds of
tons are used for washboards, fruit jar
tops, platforms for stoves, fancy cornice
works, candlesticks, trunk coverings,
buttons, tacks and many other uses,
besides that which is converted into
paint. Its uses are almost IS varied as
the uses of iron, and it is each day
growing more and more into favor as it
is better understood. Zinc will in time
become . metal which will rank with
ifon'in popularity, and will eventually
supersede tin. Formerly nearly all the
zinc used in this country BY painters was
obtained from abroad, but it 10 now fur
nished from our mines.

Thomas Jefferson's Grave.

A correspondent of the Boston Jour
nal thus describes the grave of Thomas
Jefferson at Monticello, Va. We were
surprised and looked in vain for some-
thing to remind us of the last resting
place of the author Of the Declaration
of Independence, but, on alighting and
passing through the underbrush for a
few steps, we found ourselves brought
face to face with the most desolate of
burial places. The spot was originally
surrounded by brick wall, through
which an iron gate furnished admittance,
but the wall has been entirely torn
down, and the gate lies PROSTATE. The
inclosuie is from two to three hundred
feet square, and there are some twenty
graves, where rest the descendants and
relatives of Jefferson. Some of the
graves are marked with headstones, but
some are without any mark, though sew
eral burals have taken place since the
war, and one grave seemed to be freshly
sodded. Jefferson's grave is marked by
a rough granite monument, square and
about fifteen feet in height, upou which
is placed a cone-shaped block of granite.
The corners have all been broken off by
visitors; there is no name upon it, the
plate which evidently was once in the
stone having been removed, but upon
the base near the ground was tho date
of his birth and death in rude letters.
There are several large trees growing
within the enclosure, and the whole Is
surrounded BY untitled land and under
brush.

The Late Jamaica.

Everything in Jamaica is always late. The
whole island moves along In such happy-go-
lucky unpunctual fashion that l am sometimes
tempted to believe it can not revolve like the
rest OF the earth once in every twenty-fOur
hours, hut must have a separate and much
slower cycle of it's own If indeed 1t does not alb
solutely stand still. There is railway to
Spanish Town, for example, thirteen miles in
length; and 1t Is on record, say the local Cos
