The other evening Mrs. Nickle-
pinch read the following news
item: "A man in Dutch Flat,
CAL, picked up stone the other
day to throw at a COW. The
weight of it attracted his atten-
tion, anG on examination it was
found to !, contain more than
$IUU worth of gold. "That'a
just the way" said Nicklepinch;
everything that some men touch
turns to gold. I'll had picked
up that stone to throw at q COW
it would have been nothing more
nor less than q stone, and very
likely it would have hit her be-
hihd the ear and killed her as
dead as julius Caesar. Then I
would had to pay $75, or have
been sent to Jail. What's the
