hilarious evening. Mr. Wilkinson had
succeeded in dying with the love and re

til tho horse had been shot and removed.

Il couldnt F.ll.

His history is briefly told. After sew
eral days of thought he discovered a
sure way of making money. and. like
other men, he was in hurry to try.
He made haste to insert an advertise
ment something like the following ia
several country weeklies:
Sure way to kill potato bugs; send
20 two cent stamps to X. Y q, for q
recipe that can not fail
Then he hired dray TO bring his mail
from the postofiice andI had 1O. geo Of his
recipes printed. Inside of two weeks
something like 5000 or I, 900 farmers had
contributed 20 two cent stamps each for
the printed recipes.
Then several hundred of them bought
clubs and railroad tickets, and started
out to interview the advertiser At his
Office they were informed that he had
left to attend to some business in Eu-
rope, and he was not expected back. Ali
he had left was package of 1900 or
1000 slips of paper, on which was printed
the following:

There is nothing obscure in the etymol-

which means literally "The Guided, vet
to such an extent has it been abused that
few know that it originally related to a
man and not to country. In the latter
sense it has been applied to almost every

America since the discovery; and there
is scarcely mining camp in California

As early as the 18th century it served
to designate an imaginary region abound

this acceptation it had become a syno-

the New World, the supposed eastern
proximity of which invested its unex-
plored territory with the glamor of ORR
