same thing must 70 gone through
with again, And while one don'l
mind discussing any subject for .
week or ten days, 1t does become a
little tiresome after 8 month or six
weeks, and one setually sits down
and shivers when they near the
door bell ring. This over-sensa-
iiveness is brought about by the
continual strain upon the nervous
system-caused by thirty days OF
perpetual snow-and il reminds me
very muck of little incident that
! happened some years ago, during
/ the Bode excitement. Stage coaches
were then being run from Carson to
BodIe. and even as far south as
Moiave and Los Angeles. | was in
San Francisco at the time and with
a party OF friends telegraphed to
Carson for seats in the stage, to
leave on a certain Jay. When we
reached here, it seemed That At
least fifty people mad engaged seats
in the same stage. Sixteen of us
were crowded into the stage, aud |
have nc lea nog many sat perched
upon the top. Just behind US on
stsi f.elsht came load of collins,
also bound for Bodie, for pneumonia
reigned king, and people were dy-
ing and being buried by contract.
We we're badly crowded, but got
along teleraoly well until noon,
when the stage struck rock bed.
then we were bumped and bounced
about in = lively manner. Pres
emily young man with a blond
mustache was thrown head 6rst at
the stomach Of very fat man. The
young man recovered himself appo-

like one shot, stared at the young
man, and asked in his most severe
tone: "Sir, could anything induce
you to lei up on that tune"
"Certainly. certainly" from the |
young man.
Soon there came another shaking
up, followed by few low notes of |
''Pinafore.
"Young man if you do that again
[ shall get out OF this STAGE" came
rom the fat man in an awful tone
IF voice. The passengers looked
rom one to another, and then at
he blond young man.
To be relieved of three hundred
pounds in the shape of fat man,
would give us all comparative ease
md comfort. The young man with
he mustache looked across to an
ther young man with an eye glass,
nd said:
"What never" from first young
nan.
"Well hardly ever" from the
econd young man.
At this the fat man sprang to his ,
set and catching strap to steadyE,
imself pointed with his cain to the r
lond nustache and in q voice
hoaking with rage said:
"What is your business sir?"
"Printer, if you please. In ;,
lid voice, from the blond young ,
IAN. +
"And yours?" pointing to the :,
her young man.
Printer SIR" in the same mild
,ice, answered the eye-glass. I'll
al thought SO; that accursed pI
Pinafore" has chased me all over ia
e United States, and now it takes h,
9 form of a printers devil and c.
lows me into the sands and sage
ush of Nevada, and here he beat
rieusly against the stage window E!
tn his cane, LET me cut of be
re and give me seat on top" Sc
Cant do it sir, all full here" L
