black tulle and lace, with snowy camelias
and delicate quiyering maiden-hair ferns

glittered on her round white neck. Her
cheeks were delieately flushed her eyes
were not less bright; but they looked
softer, deeper, more lustrous, more earnest
and thoughtful than of yore. It was the
old story, Mary thought to herself. The
suns kiss had changed the rosebud into
rose the careless, merry, ight-hearted
girl was transformed into the thoughtful
loving woman. Dinner over, Mary found
occasion to have little private talk with
her young hostess.
"What a splendid necklace you have on,
my DEAR" she exclaimed, in the course Of
conversation. The two ladies were sitting
side by side on sofa near the fireplace.

Advice to Bachelors


ED. BULLETIN: Since the few
words of advice to my bachelor friends
appearedin your paper have reason
TO believe that they were not entirely
unappreclated, for "a near nsighbor Of
mine was recently seen with a broom,
turned beam end down, and comb in
his hand, Some say he was cleaning
a garden rake, but lam satisfied itwas
indeed a,whois or a part Of veritable
comb, hence L take my pen in hand
again.
Charming May is again here. The
very time when you, the worthy pros
peot@r, land he is most always BACH
elor) goeth forth to hunt bonanza
groupings. So few suggestions in
this direction may be in order:
Should your pack mule run a way.
while you are out in the hills. and
scatter to the,fonr winds your cooking
utensils, but leave YOU flour and bacon,
| am sure you will not despair after
having read the following, which is no
"chestnui: -
Some years ago we, tired party Of
prospeetors, halted near Whisky Fiat
just as the rays of the departing sun
were kissing the pinnacle of Mount
Grant good night. l was look ing for
favorable place TO pitch our tents,
when we came unexpectedly upon Old
Nantz, near fire he bad kindled,
husily mixing flour and water on his
coat tails. When we asked him why
he did thusly why ..le used his coal
for a bread pan-he replied:
For expediency, for expcdiency,
sir. Have lost about everything brit
my -four and bacon. L can't mix
bread in my hat, for it is all out at ih, =
top"
And thus this old mountainman
kneaded his dough, and baked it in the
ashes, pretending all the while that
the mule had become frisky and had
scattered and lost rations and cooking
impliments, but we strongly suspected,
from the appearance of his coat and
pants, he had lost nothing. That coat
tail had held flour and water no doubt
once day, at least, for three weeks.
| would like to urge upon YOU. before
closing, the necessity of taking pretty
good coat along when you go on Il
rambling tour-one that would hold |
flour and water--so that should you,
by any accident. be found in the pre-
dicament of friend Nantz you could
do 3 he did and make great success
of mixing bread on your coat-tail.

I'll. Operation Of sh. Deg Law.

SECTION 1. Every person or per-
sons owning or haying under their
charge or control any dog or dogs,
shall pay annually tax on each dog
the sum of one dollar.
SEC. 2. The manner OF assessing
and collecting the tax imposed by sec
ton of this Act shall be the same as
provided by law for assessing aud
collecting the taxes on personal prop
erty, and the tax collected shall be paid
into the General Fund.
The above is the full text of the Dog
Law, and it will be seen that when the
owner of the dog has no other personal
property, and refuses to pay the tax,
the Assessor will have to take the dog.
This don't suit Jerry Quin, who can
