TICKET DEVICE.
/ This exhibition, like many Of the entertain.
ments given for charity. stoops to one device
for selling tickets which calls forth frequent
curses both loud and deep from helpless VIC
Tins The managers send you two numbered
tickets, accompanied by printed circular stat
ing the object of the performance, and request
ing you to buy the tickets and send a check
for the S2 or % to the treasurer. Most of the
recipients leave circular and tickets lying
among other papers and they are either de-
stroyed or lost sight of. This is precisely what
is expected of them Time goes on, the enter
tainment is given and shortly afterward the
victim receives polite request to remit the
cash for two tickets numbered SO and SO sent to
him at such date and not returned. 1t is too
late to use them, even if found to return
them, and he has no resource but to pay for
them, which he does with anything but chari-
table feelings and usually with some remarks
| about blackmail.

Medicines Among the Mongols.

Medicines also are much sought
after by them. While l was at Du-
lan-kuo nearly every one IN the
village came to see me, and most
of the people asked for medicines
whether they were suffering from
any complaint or no. Plasters were
in great demand, as all the villagers
had rheumatism, and the tighter
the plasters stuck the better they
were held to be. / had with me a
bottle of Eno's fruit salts, and tried
to give some to the people, but
when they saw the salts boiling and
fzzing they thought there must be
some magic about the medicine and
would have none of it.
Most of their troubles, sores and
eye diseases come from dirty habits,
but one can never persuade them
of the necessity of keeping clean.
A friend of mine was once travelling
among the Mongols, and an old
crone came to him and begged some
medicine to put on sore. He told
her that before applying the salve
it would be necessary to wash her

Saved by His w,fe's Quick Wit.

The Rev. DR.. Clinton Locke, the
popular Episcopal clergyman OF
Chicago, made a bad break the other
day, but was helped out by the
Quick wit of his wife. On the day
in question he saw a lady about to
cali whom he was anxious not to
meet. So he said to his wife:
"Now I'm off, my dear. I'll run
up stairs and escape till she goes
away" After about an hour he
quietly tip-toed to the stair landing
and listened. All was quiet below.
Reassured he began to descend, and,
while doing SO, he thoughtlessly but
emphatically called out over the
banister: swell, my dear, has that
old bore gone at last7" The next
instant voice from below caused
the cold perspiration' to bedew his
ministerial brow and rooted him to
the spot. There came q response
which sounded inexpressibly sweet
to him just then. 1t was the voice
Of his wife, who, with true womanly
art. replied: Eyes, darling. she went
avay over an hour ago; but here is
our rood friend, Mrs. Blank, whom
/ am sure you want to msst !"

New Method of Developing Mines.

The Industrial Mining Co. has
been incorporated with headquar-
ters at Jackson. The directors are
William Moon, Joseph Moon, Jas.
Moon, George Mcconnell, w. f.
Lawrence, W. H. Griswold and
Richard Moon. 1t proposes to de-
velop the mines of Amador county
on the cooperative plan. The value
of shares is $12 each, 81 payable
on the issuance of certificate of
stock, and the balance in monthly
installments of one dollar. When
the full price is paid the holder of
the paid-up stock becomes a mem
Der during the life of the incorpo-
ration, and is not liable for any
further payments. Only a limited
number of shares can be held by
one party. The money is to be used
for labor in developing the mines,
and members are to have the pref
erence as employees. The plan is
being canvassed in Chicago and
other places, and encouraging re-
ports of the prospects of placing a
large block of the stock in the East
ern money centers are being re-
ceiyed.-Amador Ledger.

About Pensions.

No standing army in the world,
says Senator Carlisle, costs the peo-
pie so much as our army OF dis
charged soldiers. Although we are
at peace among ourselves and with
all the world, and have no foreign
or domestic policy to make such
an expenditure necessary, we are
paying more than $135,OOO,OOO an
nually to the soldiers of a war that
closed twenty-five years ago. The
payment of reasonable pensions, on
account of wounds actually received
and diseases actually contracted in
the military or naval forces in time
of war, is just and right in itself, and
is, moreover, the wisest policy that
can be adopted by q government
which relies for its defense almost
exclusively upon the voluntary SER
vices of its citizens; but the gratu-
itous distribution of public money
among certain classes of the people
is peither just nor consistent with
the character of our institutions.

"Home, Sweet Home"

When the Cherokee Indians were
removed from their homes inGeorgia
to their possessions west of the Mis-
sissippi river, John Howard Payne,
author of Home, Sweet Home,
was spending few weeks with his
lifelong friend, John Ross, Chief
of the Cherokees. Several promi-
nent Cherokees were in prison, and
that portion of Georgia in which
the tribe was located was secured by
armed squads of the Georgia militia.
While Ross and Payne were seated
before the fire in the little hut to
which they had fled after the chief
had been forcibly elected from his
house, the door was suddenly burst
open and eight militiamen entered.
Ross and Payne were arrested and
taken away, on horseback. Rain was
falling, and the journey lasted all
night. Toward midnight, Payne's
escort, to keep himself awake, be-
gan to sing Home, Sweet Home"
Little did I ever expect to hear
that song under such circumstan-
ces," Payne remarked, gloomily.
81 reckon not" said his escort,
"but it's a good song to maka
feller think of the home he's lett
behind him."
eyes," said Payne. "Do you
know who wrote that song?"
"No; do your" the soldier an
swered.
"Yes," said Payne, II wrote it,"
"a lot you did!' returned the
soldier, sarcastically. "You can tell
that to some fellers, but not to me.
Look here, if you made that song
and l know you didn't-you can
say every word of it. Now start in
and reel it off, or I'll bounce you
from your horse and lead you in
stead Of him."
Payne answered the threat by re-
peating the words of the song in a
slow, subdued tone, and then sung
it, making the old woods ring with
tender melody and the pathos of
the words.
AS the last notes died away the
soldier said, kindly, "If ye didn't
write it ye can sing it; and gracious J!
l believe We did write it !"
