BLOOD FOR BLOOD.
Big Jerry's Stray Shot Struck the shiy-
ering Child.


ering Child.
"PopP"
little boy stood beside a gambling
table, long ago, in an Idaho mining town,
and addressed this trembling word to one
of the players.
The father was rough man with great
sinewy hands, grizzled face and thin, mer-
CHESS lips
But his eyes-how vicious and utter ly lost
the light that flashed from their reddish
balls!
Say, pop, when'yOu g0in' home ?"
Again the timid voice came to the rough
man, and he laid down his cards deliberate
ly and turned around. The boy knew the
light that blaZed from those eyes only too
well, and ne drew back and hudd led himself
together IN piteous but mute appeal for
mercy.
What's that to you, you young scamp.
Git out o here now, an don't We waste a
mint or III be the death o you. Are you
goin'?'
Slowly, sadly. the little fellow turned and
walked to the saloon door. Then he paused
to look back and found those vicious red
eyes still fixed upon him and the voice came
to his ears:
"What you stopin' fur? Git"
And gulplng down sob that was rising
in his throat, the boy passed through the
door.
For another hour the players silently
played their cards. and the rough man said,
as he took the pack in his hands
How many cards, Pete?"
But before Pete could reply there came
the quivering words:
'fop, haint you mos done?"
Tne rough man cried out an oath and
turned. He did not say a word, but he drew
back his great sinewy fist to strike the shiv-
ering child.
Hold up, Ike BakerW cried Pete, lean
ing across the table and catching the raised
arm; don't you hit i'm"
There was devilshness in the red ewes.
and had he struck it would have been n
blow to kill.
For moment not sound was heard, and
then came the noise of scuf1ie from an ad-
joining table.
"Oie Cooper is having it out with Big
jerry" volunteered bystander.
A moment later pistol shot was heard
one shot was ala shot that laid the little
boy with trembling voice low on the saloon
floor. a higher power had made of Big
Jerry an instrument In consummatng a
merciful deed.
Good God, Ike cried Pete, big jerry
has killed yer boy"
of expression crossed the rough mans stolid
face. He cast one glance CT his vicious red
eyes toward the little lifeess heap on the
floor, and then, drawing a revolver, he
turned it upon Big Jerry and shot him dead
where he stood.
'Blood for blood" he muttered, catching
up the pack once moro with his sinewy
hands. How many cards did you saw.

The Largest Diamonds.

1t is not very easy to make out
which is the largest diamond now
in existence. Two are mentioned
as entitled to the honor-the Bra
rapza, in the crown of Portugal
ant = which belongs to the Rajah
of Mattan In Do4i..-c. The Portu-
guese jewel is of doubtful quality.
It weighs 1880 carats and is tho
size of hens egg, but is believed
to be only a white topaz. The Por-
tuguese Government withAolds any
information on the subject, but il
it is genuine it is worth nearly
$500, 100000. The Borneo gem was
found on an island about 12O years
ago and weighs 367 carate. Tho
Orloff diamond in the Russian i'm
perial scepter weighs 1944 carats !;
Catherine II gave $45O,0O0 for it.
and pensioned the merchant who
brought it to her at go, 600 year.
It is easy to understand q reloct-
ance to have diamonds cut. The
advantages of cutting are not al
ways very plain, while the enormous
diminution of weight which COM
monty ensues affects the public
estimation more than the increase
of brilliancy.-Jewelers' Review.

How to Keep a Husbands Love.

A wife should make difference
between her husband and the SER
wants, especially in respect of her
manner of addressing each. The
distinction, however, should be
subtle, and not so marked as to
betray an effort to the husband or
to arouse distrust in the servants.
A woman of tact is never at loss
to manage her household properly.
She never would speak to her hus-
band in endearing terms in the
presence of the servants for fear OF
arousing the jealousy of the latter.
It is always best to treat the SER
wants with the greater considera-
ton, other things being equal.
Servants can resign.
A husband cannot.
When lady feels cross the most
short-sighted policy in the world
for her to pursue is to vent her dis
pleasure upon the servants, when
husbands were put into the world
largely for that very purpose.
If a woman is careful there is no
earthly reason why she should not
retain her husbands love indefin'
itely-say for six months or even q
year.-Detroit Tribune.
The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1892-05-21

John Sherman was bought in the
demonetization business any more
than we have that q majority of
the present Congress was bought to
defeat the Bland bill. Fortunately,
however, we are able to offer the
strongest possible corroborative ev-
idence in support of the above affi-
davit. We quote from the Bankers
Magazine of August, 1873, and from
the Congressional Record. The
Bankers Magazine says:
Gin 1872, silver being demone-
tized in France, England and Hol-
land, capital of 100000 was
raised, and Ernest Seyd of London
was SENT to this country with this
fund, as the agent of FOREIGN bond
holders and capitalists, to effect
the same object here, WHICH WAS
ACCOMPLISHED! !"
The Congressional Record of
April 8, 1872, page 2O32, says:
"Ernest Seyd of London, a dis
tinguished writer and bullionist,
who is now here, has given great
attention to the subject of mint and
coinage. After having EXAMINED
the first draft of the bill he made
sensible suggestions which the COM
mittee adopted and embodied in
the BILL"

Blind People . E,ra.

Blind people do not as rule
take exercise enough. Their friends
in natural anxiety for their safety
often insist on their remaining
seated, when they would be much
better if allowed to walk :or even
run. Blind people become familiar
with their surroundings much soon
er than is commonly supposed, and
may be trusted within their limits
without the slightest fear of acci-
dent Detailing them. They have
even been known to become famil-
lar with an entire neighborhood
and to run up the stairs of a house
they are accustomed to visit, never
missing a step or hesitating at a
turn. Unless allowed to exercise
they are subject to anchylosis OF
the joints, and blind boys are tre-
quently brought to the asylum who,
from long disuse, are unable to
straighten their kneejoints, and
when told to put their hands to-
gether, simply touch the tips of
their fingers, thereby supposing
they have followed the direction.
They should always be allowed q
large yard in which to exercise and
should become familiar with every
part of it, and when this is accom-
plished fears for their safety are
groundles.-Supt. of an Asylum.

Another Mulhatton.

An old sheepherder who dwells in
a secluded spot in the Sutter coun-
ty buttes made his annual visit to
this city last Wednesday, and from
him we learn of some phenomenal
and interesting circumstances as a
result of the earthquake of Tuesday
morning.
The lonely camp Of the old shep-
herd is far up in the buttes, and is
surrounded with cliffs densely COW
cred with massive rocks and bowl
ders, which have withstood the
storms of ages and furnished innu-
merable mills for the aborigines to
grind their acorns and manzanita
berries into flower from the remot-
est antiquity.
The old herder had just emerged
from his cabin on this memorial
morn and was gathering kindling
wood with which to prepare his
morning meal before turning his
flock on to the range for their days
forage, and the wonderful sight he
witnessed will never be forgotten.
When the trembling began numer-
Gus sparks of a bright blue color be-
gan issuing from the rocks, caused
by the friction as they were tossed
to a..s fro by the surging earth. AS
the tremors increased ssne nui,.ser
of sparks did likewise, until at one
time the hillsides appeared as one
sheet of fire with millions of sparks
darting here and there as if dancing
for JOY. AS the trembling subsided
the sparks gradually disappeared,
and in a moment all was total
darkness.
Shortly after the sun had started
on its journey in the eastern hori-
zon the attention of the old shep-
herd was attracted by the great
branches of trees which had fallen
to the ground, and those which re-
mained intact seemed to horify the
wild birds, as they would attempt
to alight and then with frightened
scream would pass hurriedly on,
only to repeat the caper at the next
tree. An investigation proved that
millions of lizards and snakes had
taken refuge in the trees during
their fright and had become so nu-
merous on the projecting branches
that they were forced to succumb
to the immense weight and fell to
the ground.-Marysville Democrat.
