/ great mining camp boom it is a gay and
brilliantly lighted scene that 2reets the eye
on entering the long hall. If it is the first
time the terderfoot has heen in such a
place he almost wonders if he will get out
alive. The air ia heavy with cigar smoke
and the scent of liquors: the orchestra is
playing; the floor is filled with dancers:
there are hundreds of spectato- 4 watching
both dancers and gambling tables. Amid
the din IS heard the stentorian voice of the
floor managers calling" the dance. The
gambling tables are crowded, and some
times a woman with jeweled fingers and
sparkling diamonds is dealing faro.
Among the players are often found the
darkhnired senoritas. who delight in u game
with Spanish cards. which they carry with
thor cigarette package.
The floor manager Is q prominent person.,
and he IS chosen for his might. Two I've

a tone that can be distinctly heard by all
He walks around the hail in his shirt sleeves,
sporting q negro minstrel diamond and n

look almost strong enough to haul a gay
log. -Four couples are now roadY. Then

says, land make it n double beadet." Ii
they are slow in responding the girls with

Notwithstanding his resistance, and making
him dance, which he, of course. has to pay
for.

nights lively with dancing and
feats of high kicking. Everything goes,
from the OLD Virginia reel and square dance

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

MILK when first drawn contains ami
NAL odors, and these should be per-
mitted to escape before the milk is
shut up in close cans.
DIRT in the milk means bacteria in
the milk, and that means injury to but
ter and to health. Keep the udder and
the hands of the mixer clean.
If the non-paying cows are not elm
mated from the dairy we may expect
complaints against the proftableness
of this excellent industry.
WHEN buttermik is deliciously rich
we would advise getting another kind
of churu. Richness of buttermilk means
| loss Of butter.

of milk does not always make the

advise.
