it said, are at the head of the arrange
ments. They are now busy with the
work of selection aud manufacture of

yosng men, and they in turn are rack.

inventive ideas of making themselves
up in an original costume, to compete
for the honbrs with their fair friends.

mill at Columbiis arrived by rail the

Too MITCH sdbcrstitfoM

"A short time ago q lad named Dow
ling, about sixteen years of age, WHO
WAS working with his father in the
White Mountains, ncur big Pine, had
his wrist nearly severed by an axe
which fell from his fathers hand into
the shaft lin which Ne was loading a
bucket. The father, who is more than
half demeuted, and imagines himself
to be possessed of supernatural oint-
ment which will cure ali kinds of
injuries, undertook the care of the boy.
There was nothing holding the hand
to the arm but small strip of muscle
and Skin, but, in his ignorant belief in
the efficacy of his remedy, the ignor-
antiman, regardless of the suffering of
his son, kept the hand bound to the
wrist until it decaytd and until morti-
fication or gangtene attacked thearm,
and at last accounts the boy was in q
dying condition. He had sense enough
to stop the howNof blood by ligature,
but,ih all other respects showed the
most absolute ignorance, and is even
yet unwilling to admit that charmed
salve will not do the work claimed
for it.

BeaAtffy Your Hom es.

The almost fhvariable criticism of
strangers on Visiting out town is that
tile only thing necessary to make it
the prettiest spot in the desert is a
little verdure to offset the monotony
of the gray sand and make pleasing
contrast to the purple haze of the dis
tant mountains. 1t is with pleasure
that The BULLETIN notes the fact that
every owner ofproperly in Hawthorne

bringing about the desired change

A Fortunate Regfen.

The region of many miles in extent
Of which Hawthorne is the center has
enjoyed a remarkable immunity from
accidents of a serious character and,
taking into consideration the number
of inhabitants, illness of dangerous
natufe has been Of very infrequent
occurrence. Owing to our wonderful
climate, we have right to expect
coed health, bat the rough mountains
in which the mining districts are
located and the careless dispositions
of our mountaineers would lead the
doctors toexpect better things in the
way of accidents. Internationally
Che promised land, heretofore errone.
oasly located by negligent writers, and
no one need be surprised at hearing
that some lucky prospector has dis
covered milk and honey stream.
That this is not VIII 'stipposition
will be seen by reference to the tradi-
ti6n published by tire Homer Under
that Mill Creek was originally named
Milk Greek, bat that, because the
liquid 'resembled to closely city dairy
supplies, the name was changed to
Mill.

The Sreena.vay Basket Party.

The Greenaway party last Wednes-
day evening was an entire success.
The oright-colored garments seemed
to elevate the spirits OF the dancers,
and the floor resembled garden full
of many.hued, living flowers havinga
good time among themselves. Usually
the ladies are the most noticeable on
account of their loveliness, but this
time the gentlemen came I'm for full
share of the admiration. The gaudy
colors of the clothes, fine compilations
and gallant bearing of the members of
the Club made several of the ladies go
home with an uneasy feeling of unrest
Which they cid not know Whether TO
attribute to heartache or to having
eaten too much Itncb. The plump,
well formed beahX all wore short
clothes, and the perfectly. filled stock
ings probably borrowed displayed
neat ankles and swelling calves which
the vainest cavalier of old would have
envied. An uncertainty as to lunch
partners added pleasant excitement
to the enjoyment of the evening. 1t
was arranged that the ladies should
and tire, gentlemen drawing a certain
name should assist the lady whose
name be had drawn in the disposal of
the lunch which was in her basket.
Just before the drawing brilliant
idea seemed to cast radiance ON the
minds of all the ladies at the same
time. Each of Them confidentially
informed her favorite that she would
turn down the corner of her piece of
paper. The result of this was that the
little bunch of Slips reminded Frank
Boiler, the impartial master of cere-
h1onies, Of lot of leaves from the
Bihle of the old lady vito ibid each
page marked so that SHE could find
every place in the book without any
trouble. The CONSEQUENT confusion of
some; but nobody complicated, except
one unfortunate man who drew the
slip containing the name of his wife.
He knew how much there was in her
basket ard, having ravenous appetite,
made a piteous appeal for another
Chance. Under the rules, this could
not be granted, but friends contributed
from their store of 'sofia food, and he
was enabled to make a hearty meal.
AT the usual hour tire band ceased
playing, and everybody was loud in
praiSffr the success of HaWthOffieS
first basket Greenaway party.
