well, but Craig'S partner, one Billy
Garvin, had skinned out a couple of
months before the events narrated
herein. taking with him all the results
of their laborS. Since this event Craig
had had nothing but bad luck He
was a moody. nSocia bic man, and his
misfortune and i'll health had rendered
him more peculiar than ever, and less
popular with the camp.
The Injuns have Il legend" remark
ed Ben Jarvis, that this gulch is in
habited by fairies. They believe in
fairies, you know. Queer they should
have that notion just the same as our
forefathers. Now, if there are any
fairies about here | wish they would
bring me word of Victimus. I tell
YOU, boys, l am getting anxious about

estimation Of young people. The game
Of "coasting' consists simply in see
ing which boy can drive his sled
farthest from the starting point at the
top of a convenient hill. A running
start is allowed The hill should have
q level stretch at the bottom, and the
course should be as smooth as possible.
Bubble Blowing-This game requires
q long, narrow table, which may De
simply board five feet long and elgh-
teen inches wide. The board must be
covered with woollen cloth; an old
shawl will do. Two stakes, twelve
inches high and eight inches apart,
must be set UP one foot from the end
Of the board Bubble blowing can be
played by any number of children, and
they may divide into two equal par
ties Each player is armed with Il
pipe, and a bowl Of soapsuds is placed
handy. Each player in turn blows
bubble, tosses it on the table, and tries
to blow it between the stakes at the
other end Three trials are allowed
each player. Bubbles that break be-
fore the bowler has started them do
not count. When a bubble is sent
through the goal the player scores one.
For single players the game is three,
but it may be increased to any num-
ber desired. Generally the score is
three times the number Of players.
Comic Historical Tableaux. - The
company must divide into two par
ties One party decides what event in
history they will represent, and then
forms a tableau to illustrate the event,
making it as ridiculous as possible.
The other party must try to guess what
the tableau is. If they fail, they take
their turn in producing tableau.
Blind Mans Buff.-This favorite old
game needs no description. But it
may be varied for Christmas even
ing. The person blinded is designaed
as Santa Claus A small sack,
stuffed with cotton, wool or paper, is
provided One of the players strikes
"Santa Claus with this saying: Santa
Claus can't find his sack" Santa
Claus pursues, and the sack is passed
from hand to hand, each player in turn
striking Santa and repeating the
phrase. The object is for Santa to
grab the sack or bag, when the player
who holds it becomes Santa Claus in
turn.
The Fairy Hunt-This game is much
the same as hunt the slipper. Various
articles, such as nuts, candy, fruit,
toys, or other suitable gifts, are wrap
ped in tissue paper and hidden in all
parts Of the house. The game is one
that all children will delight in, and.
introduced at a Christmas party, will
cause no end Of merriment.

CHRISTMAS DON'T.

Don't forget the poor.
Don't make the Christmas feast the
cause of a doctors visit
Don't present your husband, brother
or lover with a box of cigars.
Don't make rich gifts when simple
ones will answer the purpose.
Don't forget that it is wrong to send
costly gifts which may invite an eX-
pensive return from those unable to
afford it.
Don't set punch or wine on your
table. Christmas is particularly a
children's holiday, and their appetites
should not be tempted with alcoholic
drinks.

WINDY GULCH FAIRIES.
(Copyright.)

OF course, we are all so wise now
adays that we don't believe in fairies.
And the supposition that fairies would
live in Windy Gulch, Colorado, is too
absurd to be considered anything but
a miners joke. Yet it is fact that
when the inhabitants Of Windy Gulch
wish to crow over the denizens of
Gabriel's Roost, the rival camp across

THE BEAUTIFUL TALE.

When the still earth is wrapped in the Christmas
time snow,
My thoughts wander back to the long, long ago,
When was wee, wonder-eyed child,
And all life to me was a beautiful wild
of sunshine and daisy fields snow or no snow
No matter how cold might the winter winds blow.
/ used to climb UP on my grandfather's knee,
And look in his eyes, just as grave as could be,
And ask him to tell me the wonderful tale
OF the Shepherds asleep in the Bethlehem vale,
And the star of the East as it burst their sight,
And dazzled their eyes with its marvellous light.
How it led them along DER the Nazarene hills,
By the white sleeping fiocks and the low singing
rills,
To the dear little Baby asleep on the hay
In the manger-and. up to this worldly-wise day,
The Washington bee., 1893-12-23

think it the sweetest tale ever was told!
still to its beauty and tenderness hold!
And even tonight. were my grandfather here,
I'd creep to his breast, and look into his dear
Old credulous eyes, and say, Tell me the tale
Of the Shepherds asleep in the Bethlehem vale, u
And once more child, I'd look out through the
snow
On the daisy-feld meadows of long. long ago.

that city is Of the opinion that he has dis
covered the true cause Of yellow fever and
the remedy for 1t. He says 1t is nothing
more nor less than phosphoric poison. He
left last night for Washington to present
his views to Surgeon General Wyman, and
ask to be sent to Brunswick to test his
theory on the yellow fever sufferers there
Surgeon General Wyman stated to a Star
reporter this morning that he had reason
to believe that DR.. Knott is on his way to
this city and upon his arrival here he will
be given an opportunity to express his
views. The surgeon general said that there
are scores Of people all the time who think
they have hit upon the true cause and
remedy for yellow fever. He declined to
express any opinion as to the possible merits
Of this particular theory until he should
have a more complete idea of 1t than the
mere bald statement that yellow fever is

The Chinese turned on the crowd. strik-

tumult which was raised drew a crowd of
600 persons about the place. As they gath

two-edged knife ran into the crowd cutting
and slashing everybody In reach. He made
his way to the corner of Wilson and JEFF

without a. word of warning he plunged
the knife into his side twice in rapid suc-
