a Distinguished Tramp.

In a certain hamlet called La JUS

sirup in a poor, bare drinking shop.
The hostess, a comely woman, suck

with kindly and plying eyes. You
are not of this Department. she asked.
The Arethusa told her he was English
"Ah?n she said, surprised. I've have
no English. We have many Italians,
however, and they do we'll; they do
not complain of the people of here
aboutS. An Englishman may do well
also; it will be something new" Here
was a dark saying, over which the
Arethusa pondered as he drank his
grenadine; but when he rose and asked
what was to pay the light came upon
him in flash. 10, pour yous," re-

her. But when he was forth again
upon the road he became vexed in

Priscilla with kindly impetuosity.
Come In and see me, there's dear.

But Dorothea had been making her
plans: she must disguise herself and

Has John worn his uniform?n she
said, quietly.
Priscilla looked at her with surprise.
No, it is upstairs. Dorothea, you
| aren't going to dressing? What for?
Oh, do tell me! Where are you GO
ing?"
Il can't tell YOU said Dorothea
calmly. at is a secret. Yes, l will
dress up in Johns uniform"
Priscilla was too much astonished to
speak, so she led the way upstairs
without word. Silently she laid the
| uniform out upon sne bed. Silently
she tied her friends hair as a queue
and showered powder upon it. And
then her admiration broke out as Dor
othea stood before the glass outlining
a shadOwy mustache upon her pretty
lip with burnt cork.
"Dorothea Hathaway" exclaimed
Priscilla, You are perfectly superb.
Won't you tell me where you are go
ing?"
No" said the young soldier with a
stiff bow. Good night, Mistress Far

When Dorothea arrived at Joseph
Warren's house she was Mortified at
beholding it brilliantly lighted. She
remembered Priscilla's remark that her
brother had gone out to dine. Oh,
what an idiot she had been not to know
that he had come here, for Warren was
his best friend. Why didn't she write
him? Why didn't she with ordinary
sense leave a letter for him with Pris-
ella?
All that WAS too late now. and she
desperately went up the steps and
knocked. The door was thrown open
and servant appeared.
Tell Mr.. Warren that | should like
to speak with him." said Dorothea
maiestically, and the servant vanished
very much impressed, only to return
with dread announcement:
Mr.. Warren says, will You please
step into the dining-rOOm?n
Poor Dorothea! What pen can describe
her sensations at being suddenly con-
Quoted into large room, with twenty
gentlemen, some drinking wine, and all
looking at her? She knew almost

y torrent of questions poured out
upon her, in the midst of which she
made her escape. The result of her
work was soon evident. The Ameri-
cans began removing their stores and
the battle of Lexington was fought on
April 10, 1916.
If John Farden recognized DOrothea
i'll her disguise he kept his own coun-
sci. After the war was over and ne
had wife of his own he said to her
one day:
''Dorothea, 10 you remember that
soldier who came to us one night at

And sweet Mistress Farden looked
up and then down, turned red and then

ing that John Atchison and Mamie
Striker were married yesterday. The
wedding was entirely private, but the
boys had heard of it and sounded a
few kettles and cans in their honor.
Both parties are well known and
deseryedly popular, and they begin
their married life under pleasant aus
pices and with the best wishes of every
body. The groom is {. young man of
intelligence with industrious habits
and will rise rapidly in any calling
which he pursues. His fair bride
graduated with the first honor few

Palmetto.

stock holders in the New York and
Palmetto Company, came out on the
@. & G. last Friday. He has p high
opinion of the merits of the Company's
property, and will push the building
of the mill to as speedy a completion
rs possible. This mill will be small
and is being erected for the purpose of
proving the value of the mines by an
actual working test. This proof,
which, however, is presumption now,
will result in the construction of a
large mill which will be of capacity
sufficient to reduce all the ores of the
district. Owing to the many tests care
fully made by the Company the small
mill now going up ~ really but max
ing assurance doubly sure, and there
is no reasonable question that Palmetto
will soon be one of the most active
and also one of the largest bullion pro-
ducing camps in the State.

put out, it made the people OF Candle.

steam again il only for a day. They
had also reason TO expect that the fires
would sometime, not far in the future
be re-lii and kept burning. A number
of experts in the interest of the Com
pany which is under the management
of Colonel Sutherland made a thorough
inspection us the big mine which has
yielded so much money to its owners
in former years and while nothing is
certainly known as to the conclusion
arrived at by the experts 1t is generally
believed that the sale which has been
talked of for some time will be made
and that the big times of days gone by
will return to Capdelaria under the
energetic management of the rev
owners.

Mining Safe.

lnyo Independent says: The Dark
Horse mine, near Bishop Creek, has
been sold. The buyer is Mr.. William
Charles, as agent for other parties.
The mine was owned by four parties
two of whom are J. G.. Bircbim and
+. Z. Blasdell, both of Round Valley.
A good deal of prospecting has been
done on the Dark Horse and a very
large ledge has been developed, said
to be about sixty feet wide. The GRE
is low grade but there is an immense
amount of ii, it is easily mined, and
there is an excellent site for a mill and
an abundance of water. A very large
mill will likely be built soon and the
mine worked on an extensive scale.

No small POx.

The cases reported as smallpox in
Candelaria last week were on investi.
CATION found to be only harmless skin
diseases 1t is much better TO be free
from the ugly disease but had it made
its appearance here it would not have
made much Roadway, owing to our
fortunate situation in respect to atmos-

As there are still some cases in Cali

uncomfortable by the possibility that
it may extend into Nevada. These
people would rest cnntentedly in a
place where Typhoid fever ragged but
are alarmed at the idea of small pox,

adherence that causes many strong
minded women to shudder at sight of

change will assist in reconciling them
to the contemplation of the mouse
which will probably never appear
here.
Smallpox is a disease the dangers of
which are greatly exaggerated. 1t is
of course, loathsome, but with proper
care and nursing not necessarily dam
gerous. SO far as danger is concerned
one might much rather have smallpox
than diphtherla, pneumonia or some
other comparatively common disease
The great aim in smallpox cases is to
keep the disease al the surface by keep

healthy condition, and for this reason
ale and whisky are administered and
warm well ventilated room is insisted

A Hasty Wedding

About two weeks ago party of
young people near Woodfords, in
Alpine county, findiag ordinary sources
OF amusement too slow, concluded to
indulge in mock wedding. A young
man who is noted for his attractions
asked an equally attractive young lady
to stand up with him, and together
they signed marriage contract in the
presence of witnesses--all by way of
joke, of course, After the perform
ance was over the festive couple
learned that they were really man and
wife, and tears and CONSERVATION took
the place of merriment The next day
an application for divorce was made,
and it is probable that in due course
of law the impulsive couple will be
again made twain.

An Assured Fact.

Times Review: A peculiar feature
In the development of the mines in
this district during the first ten years
OF its existence, was the inability of
the various companies to uncover more
than one body of ore at any one time,
and as consequence when an ore
body had become exhausted, the conf.
deDce it had created in the minds of
the public regarding the district would
naturally become greatly impaired
before another discovery was made.
Happily for the welfare Of the district
as we'll as for the camp, the result of
the explorations conducted during the
past two years has overcome the diff.
Guilty which so seriously handicapped
this community. By those best in.
formed, there are known to exist nine
separate and distinct bodies of ore. and
a continuous output of ore and bull

Professor Ramsay believes that the
particular defect giving rise to color
blindness lies, not in the eye itself, but
in the brain. Certain persons, he
points out, are incapable of judging
which of two musical tones are the
higher, even when they are more than
an octave apart. Yet, as such persons
hear either toae perfectly, the defect is
not one OF deafness. He accordingly
argues that in such persons the brain
is at fault, and then proceeds to the
assumption that it may be equally
true that the inability to perceive GER
tain colors is not due to defect in the
instrument of sight by the eye, but to
the power of interpreting the impress
sions conveyed to the brain by the
optic nerve. If this is the case, the
problem is no longer a physical one.
