lives unselfishly and dsinterestedly, and seeks
the good of other men, cannot die out OF this
world. When he goes hence he leaves behind
much of himself. There have been many
men who left behind them that which hun

Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexican lady
who recently died at American Flag, in the
Santa Catalina mountains, Arizona, was,
perhaps. the only woman ip the world who
ever cost her husband her weight in gold. In
the early gold digging days of California she
was resident of Sonora, Mexico, in which
state she was born and grew to womanhood.
When about II years of age paternal uncle,
but few years her senior, returned gold
laden from the newly discovered mines and
soon fell desperately in love with his niece.
He sought her hand in marriage and was
accepted, but the church refused, on account
of the near relationship Of the pair, to
solemnize the marriage. Persuasion being
in vain he tried the power Of gold to win the
church his way, and succeeded only by pay
ment of her weight in gold. She at that time
weighed III pounds, and against her in tbs
scales the glittering dust was shoveled Ths
husband still had sufficient Of this worlds
goods to provide a good honest. Louia
