A Yankee in Red Paint,

The campoodies southeast of town
were the scene of unusual excitement
Yesterday. 1t was accidently discover
ed that one of the head sachems, who
had lived on the Walker river reserva-
ton for years, was a white man. How
the discovery was made is not stated.
The Indians were so worked up over
the discovery that the renegade, fearing
for his life. came to town. Upon being
interviewed by a reporter, he said he
was a native of Massachusetts, and for
ty-seven years old. He became en-
tangled in a scrape when he was eigh-
teen years old, and, running away
from home, followed the sea for two
wears. Arriving at San Francisco he
pretty rough experience going from
camp to camp, he finally, after the coll
lapse of the Meadow lake boom, joined

remained there until he had fully mas
tered the language and habits of his
dusky friends, and then, painting him.
self and assuming the garb of the red
men, came to Walker lake, where, in
consideration of his able advice in the
councils of his tribe, he was elected
chief and allowed three wives. He says
that although he sometimes longed for
news from the Bay state, he was per-
fectly content to remain where he was,
as he found the roaming, Independent
life of the Piutes just the thing for q
man tired of the busy scenes of civiliza-
tion. Now that he has the paint wash
ed of and has donned a decent suit of
clothes, he is very intelligent looking
man, and it is a wonder that he could
have kept himself from his race so
many years. He will probably return
to the home of his youth in few days.

A New Disease.

Among the curious maladies which
advancing civilization seems destined
to bring in its train not the least re-
markable is that on which Partisan
doctors are bestowing good deal of at
tention just now-the obliquity of mind
which has been called pear des espaces.
The sufferer is usually d man in appar-,
emily good health, and is affected with
no premonitory symptoms, although,
ON the other hand, there are cases
where the malady results from other
diseases, and is introduced by a feel
ing of weakness and sickness. 1t gem
orally comes on suddenly, when the
patient arrives at a particular place or
is brought into the presence of par
ticular person. He then is observed to
be in mortal terror without any appar-
ent cause. 4The earth seems to him to
open into a chasm before his feet, or he
finds himself isolated by an immense
and impenetrable space from the rest
of the world. If he is on the pavement
he dare not for his life step onto the
roadb bed, but stands stock still to be
jeered at by the street boys. If he is
on step. he is afraid to move up or
down for fear of being dashed to pieces
in some imaginary abyss. All this
time he keeps his wits-or, at least.
great many of them-about him, and
is sensible of his absurd position. Some
times he has enough sense to avoid pla-
ces where the attack has come on be-
fore, or seems likely to do so again.
Another peculiarity is that most of the
sufferers belong to the liberal profess
sions, and to the higher ranks of socie-
ty. BY examination into a consider
able number of cases in the hospitals.
it was found that men more often suf-
fer than women, in a proportion of
abouy four to one.-LO'1dOn Globe

The Burglars Clever Love-Making.

1t has often been said that nothing
save business success and money con-
stitutes claim to social recognition on
this coast; but, as even with such illus
trations of the fact as the Sharon trial
before them, our Eastern friends can.
hardly understand how absolute said
rule is here, we can hardly expect the
following perfectly true incident to be
believed out of our own state:
One night not long ago the daughter
of one of our best citizens was awak-
ened by noise in her room, and, up
on sitting up, discovered a man dis
guised in black mask standing beside
her bed and calmly contemplating her
features by the aid of a bulls eye lam
tern.
Don't be alarmed, miss" he said;
81 haven't taken anything yet"
"Bless me" said the girl; II do be-
lieve it's burglar
''Of course it is," said the house,
breaker, with an ungratifying smile,
as he lit cigarette. ''And l am proud
of it
"What do you want?" demanded the
young lady.
"Well, / did want to sample your
jewelry case" said the robber, ''but
you looked so ALFRED pretty lying
there with your auburn hair-just my
style-that couldn't help waking you
to see if you also had dark eyes. I'm
terribly fond of light hair and dark
eyes, myself"
"Well, have" said the young lady,
glancing at the mirror. ''But / must
look like fright in this-this dress. -:
"On the contrary, white is very be-
coming to you," said the disciple of
Jimmy Hope, tenderly. by the way,
are you engaged?"
"That's tellin'," said the girl.
mo, but are you-honest Injun?"
"Wcll, yes, am-to a young law-
yer; but don't care for him so very
much"
He's poor, isn't hep"
''Oh, awfully."
Exactly; l thought as much. Now.
my dear girl, don't you know there is
nothing in this love-in-a-cottage busi-
nessP You don't want to peg along
nursing babies in some stuffy back
room for the next ten years, do you?"
.'N-n-n-o, murmured the girl.
''Then why not let this fellow slide
and take me? I'm pretty comfortably
fixed. Business has been good this
season, and our profits are large. Our
firm is now running tunnel under a
Marysville bank, and I've got fourth
interest. Besides, I'm secretary of tho
Burglars Protective Association. What
dyer say?"
Couldn't we 60 abroad next sum-
mer?" asked the girl, thoughtfully.
"Why, certainly. l expect to hava

I'll drop in some night later in the
week. l know how to get in.'' And.
shouldering his kit, the secretary step
ped out of the window and went off to
open jewelry store for an engagement
ring.
And the next day the young lawyer
received back his letters and photo-
graph.
Our girls know on which side their
bread is buttered, and you can bet on it.
