one sultry afternoon and asked, "Say, can

pointing up the hill to where lone tree
stood said: Right under the shade of that
tree you will find lots of gold. Dig down
about ten feet, and when you get tired rest
in the shade of the tree"
He went up there and set to work at a
place that showed no indications of gold,
and which we had passed by. We thought
we had Gagged sucker. He worked for
two days very industriously, and then in
the evening came .strolling into our camp.

Finding a "Mare's Nest"

The origin of the expression ''to find a
mares nest" has been traced to the days of
the early Saxons. What we call a night
mare was by our forefathers supposed to
be the Saxon demon Mara or Mare, kind
of vampire, which caused the incubus by
sitting on the sleeper's chest The Mare
vampires were said to be the guardians of
hidden treasures, over which they were
supposed to brood, as hens do over their
eggs, and the place where they sat was
termed their neidus or nest. Hence, when
any one announced that he had made an
extraordinary discovery, some one accused
him of finding Mares nest, or the place
where the vampire kept guard over her
hypothetical treasures.-St Louis Repub-

Security Enough.

The story is told of rather impecunious
young man of this city that he had ordered
a suit of clothing which was solemnly
promised for Saturday evening. OF course
the tailor did not keep his word, and about
o'clock a boy came from the store bring
ing the trousers and an apology that the
coat was not completed. The disappointed
youth expressed his regret, but told the
boy to leave the trousers and he would
make shift TO get along. Thereupon the
messenger said that he could not deliver
the garment until he had collected eight
dollars. That will be all right" said the
customer; Jones has the coat and vest.
What more security does he want?"-De-

Writing on the Cars.

There are two ways of writing on a
train. The first requires that the paper be
laid upon light board, perhaps eighteen
inches square. One end of this will rest in
your lap, and the end furthest from you
win be raised few inches by a cord
which passes around the neck The whole
affords sloping desk which moves with
the body, and is fairly satisfactory. The
simpler and perhaps the better plan is to
place your tablet upon a feather pillow in
your lap, when you will find that the elias

a minimum, and makes writing easy

Bird Of the diamond wing
Poised on the air,
Thou fair, ethereal thing,
None that can fly or sing
With thee compare.
To the old garden bowers
/ saw thee fly,
And all its fairest flowers
Quivered like hearts Of ours
When love is nigh
] saw thee sip the dew
That buds distil
When morning, ever new,
Dawns on the empyreal blue
And gilds the hill.
Ihcard thrilling sound
That was not song,
Telling that thou vert drowned
In joy that floats around
When life is strong.
Oh, then I saw thee start
And vanish free,
AS Cuban firefiies dart,
Far from the city's mart,
By field and sea.

All Glasses in England's Booking Offices.

Booking clerks are drawn from all
classes, and mystery enshrouds many of
them. If they are elderly, the chances are
that they have been in some other line of
business and failed, and through little in
fuence have managed to get on the line
They can be seen at all ages, sizes and
heights. The feet 2 inches man will take
his turn with lad trihe over four feet,
and the thin, delicate lad weighing seven
stone will change duty with man turning
the scale at sixteen or seventeen stone
Some can show a pedigree that a High
lander might envy, and others-well, would
rather not have theirs inquired into.
Officers in the army who have met with
reverses or misfortune have been known to
accept the post of booking clerk One such
was some years ago at large station in
the West Riding, and was recognized by
an old private who had served under him,
and who addressed him by his military
rank. It was very calling to him that he
should be recognized, and still more so
that his fellow clerks should know what
he had intended keeping secret. Sons of
officers, parsons and doctors abound in the
service; but they do not always take kind
ly to their work, and seldom rise to any
