suffer Owed the Russians 100000

Nearly everybody who came to Califor-
mia made it IA point to reach Suffers fort
Suffer was one of the most liberal and hos
pitable of men. Everybody was welcome
one man or a hundred, it was all the
same, He had peculiar traits; his necessi
ties compelled him to take all he could
buy, and he paid all he could pay: but he
failed to keep up with his payments. And
so he soon found himself immensely-al-
most hopelessly-involved in debt His
debt to the Russians amounted at first to
something near 100000. Interest increased
apace He had agreed to pay in wheat,
but his crops failed. He struggled in every
way, sowing large areas to wheat, increas-
ing his cattle and horses and trying to
build Touring mill. He kept his launch
running to and from the bay, carrying
down hides, tallow furs, wheat etc. re-
turning with lumber sawed by hand in the
redwood groves nearest the bay and other
supplies.
On an average it took month to make
trip. The fare for each person was IS,
including board. Suffer started many
other new enterprises in order to find re-
lief from his embarrassments; but in spite
of all he could do these increased. Every
year found him worse and worse off: but it
was partly his own fault. He employed
men-not because he always needed and
could rrofitably employ them, bat because
in the kindness of his heart it simply be-
came a habit to employ everybody who
wanted employment. As long as he had
anything he trusted any one with every
thing he wanted-responsble or otherwise,
acquaintance and strangers alike.-Gen.
Bidwell in Century.

Difference in Ages.

To himself a man is as old as he feels
to others as old as he looks There is
nothing strikingly new in this observation,
but it applied well in an amusing case the
other day. On train that was coming
into Boston there were two gentlemen
sitting in contiguous seats. One of them
was gray and bent. AS the train ap-
preached the station the white haired
man rose, took up his overcoat, hesitated
and glanced nervously around. Then he
said:
Young man, will be much Obliged il
you will help me on with my overcoat."
The other rose quickly and gave him the
assistance that was asked for.
''There-owl I'm a little stiff. Thank
you," said the old man. "You are kind
Some time you may he old yourself, and
then you will be glad of young mans as
sistance."
The other laughed. Perhaps, sir" he
said, you wouldn't object to telling me
how old you are?"
"I' Oh, no." said the old man. Pm
63 years old-almost o." he said with a
sigh.
"Indeedl" said the young man; land
now I'll tell you how old | am. shall be
II years old my next birthday"
1t was his actual age, but the first man
fatty refused to believe it, and went off
with an air as if he thought the other were
trying to play rather bad joke.-Boston

Eject of Smaller Bullets in War.

A. Albright, a gunsmith, says: There
are many reasons to be urged IN favor of
the reduction in the caliber Of military
rifles that is now going on all over the
world, and which is being considered by
the authorities of the war department..
Range may be increased and the weight of
the cartridge to he carried by the soldier
diminished by the use of a smaller project
lie, but there are one or two di advantages
which have not, as it seems to me- received
proper attention. The number of fatal
casualties from the new bullets will prob
ably he larger than those from the calibers
now in use. but wounds will not he nearly
so disabling.
II is well known that an army is much
more seriously crippled by a number of
wounded men than by an equal number of
soldiers killed outright. Where the new
bullets do not strike mortal part they
will cause comparatively little injury.
Their light weight will prevent extensive
muscular liberation, and the high velocity
will cause fractures of bones to be COMPARE
lively insignificant, as a round hole will be
drilled and SCATTERING reduced to a mini
mum. Slightly wounded soldiers will be
able to continue the combat, as a small
ball with high velocity does not disable by
paralyzing muscles as a larger one flying
less swiftly. This will be peculiarly the
case when the new weapons are used
against cavalry. A horse, unless vital
organ is touched or a leg broken. will not
be stopped by bullet of 30-caliber, whereas
one of 45 would bring him to the ground
by paralyzing the muscles involved. The
efficiency of cavalry on the battlefield
would be greatly increased, as it is hard to
stop horses by firing balls of the size of
homeopathic pills at them. - St. Louis
Globe Democrat.

A RAILROAD Project.

One DR.. Mahana, haiing from Free
Water, Oregon, and said to be president
of the Single Rail and Saddle Car COM
pany of that State, has scheme for run
ming railroad from Fair Haven or White
hall to Vergennes provided each town on
the line gives the right of way and sub
scribes $1,000. The citizens of Benson
met on Saturday and heard the presidents
story. Meetings are to be held in the
other towns on the proposed route. The
roadway is described as something like
that of the elevated roads in the cities,
and the rear car of the train is to contain
''a 50-horse power electric motor, which
will enable the train to obtain speed
of two miles minute" Where the
electricity will come from to make the
motor ''mote" is not explained.

John Davis was a famous turkey hunter

A trail of corn was laid from the door
for quarter of a mile into the bushes
The unsuspecting turkeys would follow
this track of corn and march inside, when
presto the door closed with a snap and
they were caught.
One day Mr.. Davis was tending the door
of this spring trap, when to his delight he
saw twenty fine, large turkeys approach.

was fine fellow, and he couldn't bear the
thought of losing him.
While he waited one of the turkeys in

instead of that second one came out, and
while the hunter waited for them to go in

trap now, and SO Davis waited-and every
turkey but one came out!

Russia, from Samarkand to the mouth

Thousands of people are dying at Or

the plaintiff and Mr.. Wilds for the de-
PENDANT.
The first and only regular evening
session of the term was held Friday even
ing, and the case of the Bristol Manufac-
turing Company, appellants, VS.. E. II.
and j. F. Daniels was heard. The suit
was brought to recover small balance

Der sold the defendants by the plaintiffs.
The plaintiffs were beaten in the lower
court, but Saturday morning Judge Start
rendered decision in their favor, award
ing them $3.50 and costs. Mr.. Wilds
appeared for the company and Mr.. Rider
for the defendants.
This completed last weeks work with
the exception that some cases which had
been set down for hearing were contin-
ued or otherwise got out of the way
without coming to trial.
Upon coming back Wednesday morn
ing to finish up the business of the term,
the court took up the case of Jerome F.
Manning VS.. Benjamin F. Leighton.
Manning is Washington lawyer and
Leighton citizen of Massachusetts, but

back TO the time of the war, and there
were good many different phases of it
from one time to another. 1t was heard
before VIM. p. Dillingham; as referee, and
on his report the court Wednesday after
noon awarded the plaintiff, in pro torma
decision, the sum of S2S60.91 and costs.
Mr.. Manning conducted his own case, as
sisted by Mr.. Upper, who had represent
ed the plaintiff before the referee, and
Mr.. Wilds was the counsel for the defend

property worth about $1,000, was begun

dinner. On the report of the master
decree of foreclosure was granted. Ex-
Gov. Ormsbee and Joel G, Baker ap-
peared for the orator and G. F. Kingsley
for the defendant.
At 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, the
business Of the term having all been
cleaned up, court was declared adjourned
without day.
1t has been long term, commencing
December 2 and ending January 2I, but
there were numerous recesses, some of
them several days in length. A large
amount of work was accomplished. as
any one who has followed our reports
will understand. The bulk of the bust
ness, however, was of the criminal kind,
and not civil case was tried by Jury.
Judge Start, in his first term on the
bench, won the good opinion of the men,
bers of the bar and grew in their estima-
ton as the term progressed and he be-
came more at home in his new position.
Mr.. w. II. Bliss makes Iirst-class pros
ecuting officer and was Jealous, efficient
and untiring in the performance of the
duties of his office, as several ex-ctizens
now alternating in Windsor can testify.

beware of Mr.. Bliss while he is States
