The Peacock and the Oyster.

One day an oyster set out to cross q neck of
land to save himself long swim around it and
as he iourneyed along the dusty highway, con-
tent with the weather, the climate and his sur
roundings, he suddenly heard a harsh voice
crying out for him to halt. As he rolled into
the shade of pigweed, a peacock advanced
with lordly strut and demanded:
"How now, sirrah? Where are you going
and what is your errand?"
"I'm simply crossing from water to water,
and tired enough am. l believe have been
three good hours making half a mile.''
"Three hours? Why, 1 could strut over the
distance in three minutes! All, me, but you
don't amount to much for size."

"Well, well, really pity you. Now, then,

to say that it was sight to do sore eyes good

"Yes."

And the oyster saw. An eagle had been
looking for breakfast. The humble oyster,
hidden away under a weed, escaped his pierre
ing glances, but the gorgeous peacock was in
stantly seen and spotted. There was a whir,
ascream, and the eagle had ascended with the
yain-glorlous bird fast in his claws.
Come to think it over" said the oyster, as

Five Aces at a Showing


Judge Lyter is as good name as any other
to call him by. He is one of the best known
lawyers in the State, and not long ago spent
several days in Nevada City, trying an impor-
tant case before the superior court One of
his hands, as most people who saw him while
here doubtless observed, is minus a finger or
rather the best of one. There is quite histo-
ry connected with that unusually short piece
of flesh. AS the story goes, the judge did not
always center all of his talents on solving
knotty legal problems. Ever so many years
ago he lived in one OF the Northern counties of
| the State. He was an infant in the profession
then, and the denizens of the mining camp had
| way of settling their little misunderstand-
| ings with pistols and knives Consequently
| grass got pretty short with the young lawyer,
and the first thing he knew he became one of
| the "b'hoys."
One night he got into game of poker with
"Black Bob, an eminent card sharp. There
| was mint OF money on the cloth, and both
players became oblivious to the crowd of in
terested spectators, who had seldom witnessed
had the next deal, and he dealt well, for he
and the judge continued to shove coin to the
center till their respective treasures were ex-
hausted. They then showed up.
| The Judge tossed two aces and three king
| down, and reached out to rake in the spoils.
| AS his hand slid across the table it came i'll
contact with bowie knife that Bob had tished
| out from somewhere, and one of his finger
! joints was whacked off clean as whistle.
The astonishee lawyer looked up in amaze
| ment, to learn the cause of his opponents &C.
centric conduct. The latter laid three aces
and two kings alongside the other "full."
The judge gazed he two patches of cards
minute, thenraiss eyes to the stained
knife the other was 6 in readiness fol
any emergency.
'Ah, yes, 1 see,' he suffered nervously
queer kind of a layout amt it Bob? Blu
your apology is accepted.
Bob appropriated the spoils without any de
murrer being filed and it is said that for {
lcng time after the wo men had great re.
spect for each other, and hunted in pairs
