The Man With the Ginger Beard Tells
Story of Early Colorado Days.

Them fellers at Chicago is maxim a

said the man with the ginger beard, "but
l jlst bet they amt none Of them got on to
the scheme that feller out in Colorado
did oncet."
The grocer sat looking dreamIly out the
window, wondering when his commission
was coming with the postmastersbip THE
man with the ginger beard oticed his
abstraction, got iDsulted, walked across
the street, thought better of it, came bark
and went on as though the grocer had ex-
hlbited the deepest interest.
1T was just like this" he said. "This
here feller made thousand dollars in one
year a-seilin' alright pies"
'What is air-tight pies?"
"Air-IlEht pies" said the man with the
tight. The feller made 'em this way.
Them pies was made out of two crusfs
and the film was wind, which lie blowpd
into them till they was about two inches
thick. You see. he sold them pies
to the tourists to be ct off the prem
ises-mostly when they was out explorin'.
Feller would buy the pie, thinking
1t was the thickest pie for the money that
ever he had bought, and so it was, but

would come together so sudden that soma
of 'em was jist az likely to break off as

INOCULATiNG WOLVES,
A Texas Sheep Rangers Plan for
Getting Rid of a Pest.
ST. Louis RepnblIl


j. NJ. Campbell. the most extensive
sheep man in Western Texas, has lost %
per cent of his fcck during the past twelve
months. They were all killed by wolves.
He now has 1900 head of sheep on his
ranch in Valverde Counry. and the wolves
continue to depredate upon them. Over 100
wolves have been killed on his ranch since
January. Mr.. Campbell endeavored to
get rid of the varmints by poisoning
them. but met with little success. He has
now hit upon novel plan for exterminat-
ing every wolf In Western Texas. 1t Is by
incubation of disease among them. In
order to do this he trapped ten wolves
about two months ago and penned them
up with dog that was badly affected " 18th
the mango. The wolves soon caught the
disease and are now thoroughly covered
with the parasites that produce IL. They
VIII be turned loose on the range In few
days, and Mr.. Campbell expects the
disease to spread among the depredators
so rapidly that there will not be one left
IN Texas TWO years llsnce. 1t was never
Known before that wolves were susceptible
TO the mango. They live together in dens
ana the disease will spread very rapidly.
IL Is incurable and no animal having /;

proves successful it will be worth thou

ODD FELLOWS RETRENCH.
More Hopeful Aspect of the Hall AS
Sociation.

The Odd Fellows Hall convention has
issued its report on the management of the
affairs of the Hall Association for the past
year.
In the life of the last board of directors
there had been frequent complaints of mis-
management and extravaganza. which. ar-
cording to the report of the convention
held June 4. 1892, were not unfound-d.
The present report shows very differ
ent and improved state of things in the as
sociation's affairs. For instance the total
expenses according to the serretarg's re-
port Of 1892 amounted 10 S12, 372 95, while
the estimated expenses for 1893 total
SS636 OF, showing a saving of S3736 rs a
new water plan for dealing with the pump
ing of water on the hall site is also reported
to have saved several thousand dollars.
In summing up the re ort says: From
the most reliable figures at hand we learn
that the income for the past year will indi-
cate an increase of several Thousand dol
lars over that of the preceding year. Th S
added to the amount saved in expenses
will show difference in favor OF the cur
rent fiscal year of over S15, 5000"
Credit is accorded to the directors, es-
pecially to President A. w. Scott and F.
w. Warren and William Rotrosky of the
hall committee, through whose efforts most
of the reforms have been ACCOMPLISHED

A CURIOUS REPORT.
Judge Coffey's Order TO Appraisers
and the Result.

Shortly after the death of the late Henry
Martin, ex- Mayor Pond. as the executor of
the estate, appointed as appraisers p. j.
Flannigan, A. Halsey and Luke McDon-
aid. who were to apprase all the real and
personal property of the deceased, which
consisted of mining stocks, mine in Trim
ity County and real estate in this city ana
Alameda County.
The appraisers did their work, and three
weeks ago filed theiI report with Judge
Coffey. They valued the estate at $780,
800 CO, which is about all the statement
they made. and imagined that it would
not be necessary to say ANYTHING in their
report of how they arrived at their figures.
Judge COffev thought differently, how
ever, and curtly ordered them, through the
attorney for the estate, TO make more
detailed statement of how they spent their
time, and how they arrived at the value
Of the property.
This order from the Judge aroused the
ire of the appra sers, and they got to-
gether and wrote such an extended and
sarcastic report of their arduous labors
that since the fling last Thursday Judge
Coffey has not been heard to ask for any
more reports from appraisers in general
or detailed statements in particular.
The appraisers open the report by stating
that on Thursday, May l. 1893. at the invl-
tation of E. B. Pond. they met and
proceeded to make a critical examination
of the inventory OF the properties, which
was absolutely indispensable to the subse-
quent difficult labors of the appraisers.
Ii is not stated how long the gentlemen
took for lunch. but they promptly ad-
jOurned at 4P. NJ.
The next day was employed in canvass
ing the value of the stocks and bonds,
promissory notes and other securities, and
in appraising the value of a mine In Trinity
County from which an income of $4,000
year is received.
Here the appraisers had violent attack
of economy, as in their own words the re-
port states: "We did not visit the valua-
ble piece of property. but relied on we'll
known experts to determine the value,
which we made by frugal means, that the
bereaYed widows Inheritance might not
be unnecessarily squandered in useless
Junketing trip to the scene Of the precious
deposits in the aurferous clefts of the
distant mountains"
The third day the gentlemen state they
Travelled eastward to the Athens of the
Pacific Oh the Southern Pacific Cumpany's
ferry and train, which meant they used
not the opposition line of ferries, and then
and there did appraise certain real estate,
but did not visit it all on account of the
ex enditure of certain moneys.
It is stated that on the next day the ap-
praisers met at an unusually early hour,
and after making such corrections as need
ed placed their report In the hands of the
executor, L. p. Pond.
Since then none of the appraisers have
been seen. as it is stated on good author
ity that their labors have so overcome
them that they are all enjoying a much
needed rest.

THE NEWEST FAD.

Have you seen the latest fad?" asked
the man of pets. opening large cage sur
rounded by small wire mesh. "They are
the chameleons. Notice how this little fell
low will change his COLOR" and he took a
small lizard-like animal from the cage. The
little fellow, when the reporter first looked
at him. was light brown. and almost i'm
mediately rapid change took place and
he turned q most beautiful green. The
skin, upon close inspection, was chagreen,
or had the appearance of a rough-grained
leather. The back is sharp, the tail long,
round and prehensile. There are five toes
on each foot united by the skin as far as
the claws. The change is the most pecu-
liar feature of the animal. 1t is fieshy.
cylindrical and capable of an elongation
of six or seven inches. ChamelonS live on
flies and other insects, which they seize by
means of their long sticky tongue. They
are slow to move. but the unwary fly Oft
times fingers too lung, for when his tongue
shoots out like an arrow it seldom misses
its mark or loses victim.
ChameleonS have been known for gen.
erations; in fact they are one of the ami
mails mentioned By Aristotle in his history
of animals. The name is of Greek origin
and means little lion, or, as some main
tain, camel lion. 1t has been gen orally
supposed that these animals live on air,
but such is not the case, although there
are instances where they have gone for
months without any food. This probably
gave rise to the statement that they live
on air.
"Can you tell me-" asked the reporter,
show 1t is that the color of this amin al
changes?"
II understand" said the trainer, "that
the change in the color Of their Skin is iue
to fear"
There was gentleman from the Smith
sonian Institution who seemed to know
something of this remarkable little crea-
ture. and he volunteered the following:
THE change of color is. perhaps, due to
the contraction of the muscular fbers Of
the dermis. and the inhalation of the lungs

1t may create some surprise that we re-

FEW PEOPLE SOUND.
Nearly Everybody Has Some Organ
Which Is Below Normal Condition.

The autorsy performed the other day
on the body of a murderer disclosed the
fact that he was q very much diseased man.
Judging from the statement of the physi-
clans it seems as though nearly every vital
organ, from the brain to the spleen, had
something the matter with it. Reports Of
post-mOrtem examinations always seem to
disclose a remarkable number of such ab-
normalities, even in the apparently healthy
person who has been suddenly killed by
an accident .The fact is. that hardly
any human being, even in the flush of
youth and health, is wholly sound" said
DR.. D. S. Lamb of the Army Medical
Museum to Washington Star reporter.
Even the sturdest children renot so. The
reason of it is that all human beings are
constantly liable to injuries which are apt
to be permanent. Our lungs are affected
by the dust we breathe. The exposures
to Guilds which we must encounter now
and then leave their traces. OF all the peo-
pie whose bodies / have dissected after
death not less than onr-half have exhibited
indications of an attack of peurisy at soma
time in the past. Doubtless most of them
never knew that they had suffered from
the complaint. Beginn ing life as a sQuall-
Ing infant, one goes through the world
meeting injury after injury through ex-
posure, accident and disease. These in
juries leave their ira es on various organs
OF the BODY. When an autopsy is per-
formed they are apparent to the eye of the
physician. However. even the vital organs
NAV work very well, Notwithstanding the
existence of acquired abnormalities.
Though you yourself have every appear
ance OF being sound and healthy. you are
not completely so in reality. Do you not
wear eyeglasses because the shape OF your
eyes is not normal? Aud are there not
gold filings in your teeth where they have
decayed?
''As have said, none of US is wholly
sound. An autopsy would not give either
you or me a clean bill of health. As we
advance in life the complete Integrity of
our physical structure is more and more
impaired. By the lime we reach old age it
has got to be- shaky. What, then, keeps
US from dying? 1t is power of resist
ance inherent in the individual. Nobody
knows where that power lies, but it exists.

train-robbers at a lonesome water station

the command to pull out that they
might carry the exprpss-car to conve-
