Incredulous Donkeys.

/, A band of donkeys has, for some
days, been subsisting on the old tin
cans, wagon tires ETC., scattered around
town. On Monday morning, they
found fine pasturage on the railroad
track and were all enjoying some par.
ticularly luscious ties and spikes, when
the train came past. They objected to
leaving such good feeding, but the
engineer was determined in asserting
his right of way, and finally sue.
ceeded in getting past. The donkeys
then looked for time cards and, having
observed the time the next train was
due, prepared for an undisturbed aft.
ernoon meal. That afternoon, the
train came in ahead of time, for some
reason, and the whistle blew itself
hoarse before the incrcdulous donkeys
would believe that there was a train
coming. When they did give way,
they aligned themselves along the
track and prayed derision at the weak
voice of the engine and contempt for
a railroad train that could not run
according to. schedule time.

everybody will feel comfortable.
Samples of their stock left at this

We have had two or three snow
squalls during the past week
Montrose's saw mill is turning out
large quantities of fine lumber.
1t is now said that the Sonora road
will be open for teams by the 1st of

Snow fell to the depth of one foot on

We are undecided whether this
snowy weather should be credited to
last Winter or next.

Thirty-nine deeds were recorded in

A grizzly bear leaving a track l1x7
inches in size, walked off with bear
trap from Hunewill's ranch, near
Bridgeport, recently. He was fol

weigh 800 pounds.
The May Lundy is now running
full handed, the tramway, teams and
mill having been started up on Tues
day. Work will not be commenced on
the Lake View till the additional five

The Gorilla will start up full-handed
to day. The tramway has been cleared
of snow, put in thorough repair and a
new cable added to the upper section
The company's reduction works are
still running on ore left over when

claimants having appealed to the Sec

Secretary has reversed these decision:
and ordered arehearing. The property
holders here feel highly elatcd over
this dicision, as they are confident il

of the Bcomershine title. This feeling
of confidence is based upon the vol

testimony upon which the decision OF
the Secretary was based, and which is
Of character that must inevitably
overthrow Boomershine's title, and
doubtless result in his successful
prosecution by the Government.

do. The Peoples Cash Store was the

We know we are playing part together.
You know that the nnir1h wear borrow;
know your smile is a mask to sorrow.
We know that under the silks and laces
And back of beautiful, laughing faces,

That comrades hate, while they swear they love
US,
That, robed like Pleasure, walks gaunt-eyed
Care,

At Vanity Fair; as we strive for place,
As we push, and jostle, and crowd, and hurry,
We know the result is not worth the race
We-know the prize is not worth the worry;
That in fighting for self we must wound each
other;
That much of our gain means loss for another;
That the crown OF bay LEAVES fades while it
presses
The brow of the victor, with thorns-not cares

That honors are empty and worthless to wear
AT Vanity Fair.
Yet, at Vanity Fair, as we pass along,
We meet brave hearts that are worth the
knowing;
'Mong poor paste jewels that deck the throng,
We see solitaire somewhere glowing;
We find grand souls under robes of fashion;
Meath light demeanors lurk strength and pas

And fair, fine Honor and god-like Resistance
In halls OF pleasure may have existence.
And we find pure affairs and shrines of prayer
At Vanity Fair.

what TO do with Old Papers.

The papers which gather in a moderB
household, says writer in an exchange,
are often a tribulation, always in the
wav when not wanted and certain to
be missing if sheet is wanted to
wrap a parcel. or you wish to refer to
an article a week old. 1t is a good
rule never TO destroy newspaper unit
it is a week old, but to draw for use
on old stock. Let the pile gather until
some convenient time, and 60 over
them, clipping the recipes, the interest
ING descriptions of foreign places, of
trades and adventures, which are so
large part of the best journals. Hav-
ing "picked the brains" of your papers,
stow them neatly away where they can
be found for lighting the fire, polishing
windows, rubbing stoves or for the rag
vendor. Save all your rags and clip
pings, not more for your own thrift
than for the good of the world, for
manufacturers find it difficult to get as
much paper stock as they need. Old
newspapers can be ground again with
little fresh stock for cheaper qualities
of printing paper; straw and manila
can be worked into printing and
wrapper paper again, bat there is
never enough of rags for the nice book
paper which will wear well with hand
ling and take impressions from the
engraver's block. 1t is amusing to see
the anxious air with which a publisher
who sometimes visits our house, re-
CARDS every scrap of letter paper and
rags which comes in his way. Don't
waste it," he protests, eve never can
get fine paper cheap enough. Save all
your rags" So save them for love o
literature and nice books.
