A Hotel Clerk Outwitted.

" THE best lawyer story know of, !"
"said prominent clubman to a San
Francisco Examiner man lately, sis this.
A Napa County man arrived in town not
long ago and went to hotel, the name
of which shall be undivulged. In the
evening he handed the clerk fifty dollar
bill for safe-keeping, saying, Tm going
out tonight, and don't want to carry
much money around with me- There
happened to be only one clerk in the
office as he took the bill, put it in an
envelope aud apparently stuck it in the
safe.
co Two days later the visitor sauntered
into the hotel office, looking rather
sheepish and detected. Waiting until he
saw the clerk alone, he Sided up and
said: Il will trouble you for that $50,
please
"sWhat $50?' asked the official, coolly.
"The guest recalled the incident of
his handing over the money for safe
keeping, but in spite of his insistence the
clerk denied all knowledge of the matter,
whereupon the man from Napa County
consulted lawyer.
"'Procure another fifty dollar bill, said
the lawyer. Take friend with you
and go to the clerk again. Say you
found you were mistaken, and that you
discovered the bill in your pocket. Ask
him in your friends presence if he will
keep it in the safe until you need it..
Then come back to me for instructions.
"The visitor did as he was bid, and
returned to his legal adviser the next day.
Now 90 back to the hotel alone, and
when you find your clerk disengaged ask
him for your money.
"This the visitor did, and the money
was forthcoming.
s.'Now, said the man of Jaw when the
client appeared for further orders, take
the friend who was witness to your
handing over the second tifty-dollar bill,
90 with him to the clerk and ask for your
bank note again.
"The ruse was entirely successful. The
clerk, finding that his victim had wit
ness to the transfer of his money, and that
denial would be useless, stepped behind
the desk, dug the original tifty-dollar bill
from his pocket, thrust it into an en-
velope, stepped to the safe, and, pretend
ing to take it out, handed back his
booty"

Ancient American Mines.

writing on ancient American Mining
in North America" Professor Newberry
speaks in the american antiquarian, of
the great antiquity of the aboriginal
works. The ancient copper mines on
Lake Superior were abandon ed not less
than four hundred years ago. for the
heaps of rubbish around the pits made
by the ancient miners were covered with
forest trees that had reached their
largest size. The old mica mines of
North Carolina and the quarries of
serpentine in the Alieghenies showed
like evidences of antiquity.
Some population in the Mississippi
Valley worked the oil fields in various
places, The author, visiting Titusville
in 1860, when the first well had been
opened, noticed pits in the ground,
which proved to be relics of the excava-
lions of prlmeval oil gatherers. A citi-
zen, digging well in one Of the pits,
had discovered and followed an old well,
which was cribbed up with timber and
contained primitive ladder like those
which have been found in the old cop
per mines of Lake Superior. The crib
bing had been rudely done with sticks
from six to eight inches in diameter,
which had been cut o. split by very
dull instrument, undoubtedly a stone

by being skinned from the water that
collected in the bottom of the pit.

The Hawks Held the Fort.

We saw good many fish-hawks
through the woods we traversed, and ex-
amined with interest their nests OF
broken sticks. Many Jersey farmers
hereabouts regard the fsh-hawk with
superstitious awe, and money will not
tempt them TO shoot hawk. Near Cape
May court house, within stones throw
of the waters of the bay, in stunted
pine treetop, is tish-hawk's nest built
in 1862, Several times either the male
or female bird has been killed by some
adventurous gunner, but the fittest sur
viving bird soon got himself another
"crest" and another mate, and began
punetually in the spring restoring and
rebuilding the old nest, multiplying
promptly and replenishing the brood OF
young hawks.
At Fishing Creek one of the fish de-
vourers built its nest years ago in the
chimney of lisherman's two-story cabin,
The smoke did not annoy the birds,
young or old. But the hawks were q
nuisance to the family of the jolly fisher,
