time ago sheriff of one of the counties
in my state died. There was another
gentleman residing In the county who
thought he could ill the official shoes
of the deceased to nicely, so he pro-
ceeded to draw up O recommendation in
his own behalf for appointment to the
vacancy, and then secure his neighbors'
signatures to it. He recited in the docu-
ment his numerous qualifications for
the position. and stated, among other
things. that MIR. Jones was strictly hon.
est He carried the paper to old Judge
Smith and asked HIM to sign II.
"The judge put on his specs and care
fully read the paper over. Then he
coughed and said:
Clones, Pll sign this here recon-
mendation ii you'll let me change one
word mi
''Jones glowed with satisfaction, for
the judges signature was power in
the premises.
"'Certny, Judge, certny,' he cordially
remarked. One word can't hurt the
paper. Now, what word would you
like 70 change. STRIP
Well replied the judge. Il just want
to scratch out the word strictly where
it precedes honest, and insert the word
't0lerably.'"
The grave justices laughed and the
case went on.

BURDETTE IN A CAR.

Experience of the Clerical HUI
morist With an Agreeable
Stranger.
Every one has observed the easy ia
cility with which some people can &C
complish the rather delicate ceremony
of the introduction of two strangers to
each other by third stranger, writes
Robert J. Burdette in the Ladies' Home
Journal. This social phenomena is
Oftenest seen in public places and on
public conveyanceS. was recently
making journey across, small Dor
ton of this planet, sitting alone by the
car window and hoping that no one had
taken the upper fiat in my compare
ment, wnen man whose freshness
chilled me, threw his feet airily upon
the seat beside me. saying i'll loud
tone and with eXtravagant hospitality,
"Make yourself at nomer"
He explained TO he, as i received his
advances with somewhat "cold respect"
that a young lady of forty-eight sum
mers was occupying the lower floor of
his section and had appropriated his
seat for her baggage room, while at the
same time she had transformed the
whole premises into cold storage
apartment. The man said he had sat
amid her luggage until the cold chlllS
began to run up and down MS back. and
he had no doubt ne was even now on
the direct road to, an attack of pneu-
mOnia.
He then went OH to inform me, in that
easy, al.autobiOgraphlcal tone,
that he lived in Kolusa, Upton county,
when he was home; lie had been mar
ried twice and had five children-all
born to him by his first wife. Three
boys" he said, and remained for mo-
ment or two in silence, when he sud-
denly looked up and added, land two
girls"
You cannot imagine what load was
liftSd off my mind when | learned what
those remaining children were. You
see he hadn't told ME, and l felt little
delicate about asking. The man noted
the look OF interest on my lace and
went on with his narrative. His first
wife was woman OF very respondent
temperament; as good woman, he
said, as ever lived; but was always
afraid something was going to happen;
always worried auoet the children or
something. She was good mother to
the children, too; but then she was
never well-alWayS sick with some kind
OF complaint. This, the man SAID, made
is almighty hard Oh him.
He sighed So deeply at the remem-
brance OF the hard lines through which
he had passed that l sympathiZed with
him, ana asked him if this continuous
illness seemed to affect his wife any?
On, no, he said, not so much as it did
him; she appeared to get sort OF used
TO 1t.

FIRE NEAR THE FAIR.
Hundred Acres Of Prairie Burned
Over Near the Exno.

Hundred Acres OF Prairie Burned
Over Near the Expo.
CHICAGO. Sept. 17.-One hundred
acres of prairie land adjoining the
worlds fair grounds on the south were
burned over this afternoon. creating
dense smoke, which hung over eXposi-
ton like pail. Included in this area
were twenty acres of garbage,
which burned and smoked in
a slow and offensive way. The
stencil from this putrid mass soon
became overpowerlng. Fourteen men
of the Columbian guard. engaged in an
effort to subdue the blaze, were over
come by the horrible fumes and taken
to the hospital inside of the grounds.
Two of them are believed to be in
critical condition. Those serious
ly affected are Prlvates John
Bollinger and j. Anderson. OF
the remaining twelve, Sergeant
q. w. Moffitt and Privates A. M. Culver
and James Aronson are the worst suf-
ferers. All will recover. with the pos
sible exception of Bollinger and Ander-
son. The fire began at Seventy-frst
street from some unknown cause, and
the grass being in very dry condition,
rapidly gained Roadway, sweeping along
the exposition grounds without hin
drance. Several times the fence
became ignited, but the flames
were eXtlngulshed by the guards
who had turned out. Chemi-
cal engines were brought out and began
operations, BUTT was long and tedious
afternoons work before the burning
grass and garbage could be thoroughly
eXtinguished. The close proximity of
the fire to the fair grounds caused un-
easiness, but the wind was blowing di-
rectly north, and to that cause and the
efforts of the firemen is due the prevent
ing of what might have been a serious
blaze.

Bee and WASH Poison.

a Vienna scientist has made series
of interesting experiments with the
virus of such insects as bees and wasps,
and comes to the conclusion that the
effectiveness of the irritating substance
depends largely upon the mood of the
insect. A drop of the fluid taken
from the poison bag Of a
dead hornet. for instance, pro-
duces a slight itching, but moth
ing resembling the inflammation caused
by hornet sting with much smaller
quantity of the same virus. This theory
Is supported by the curious fact that
under the influence of rage the saliva of
all Sorts of otherwise harmless animals
can UecOme vlrulent enough to produce
alarming and even fatal symptoms.

thought there must be some very rich
lodges somewhere in the vicinity from
which the gold in these rich deposits
has come.
In California the sudden growth in
new enterprises for gold mining Is most
marked. After lapse of more than
twenty-five years, the Osborn Hill at
Grass Valley has resumed operations.
The Good Hope mine on Albion hill, in
YuDa county, has been reOpened. The
assays at the fortieth foot prove the
ledge bearing $21.SO to the ton. The Tooth
fo0s shows even better. The ledge
is weli-defned. extending from the sur
face with light southwark slant at
about an angle of 15 deg. 1t varies in
width from s to 20 inches. All who have
investigated the mine express their
opinion that the Good Hope will create
quite Juror in this vicinity, as no less
than a dozen quartz claims are held
awaiting the results of its operations.
The Odin gravel mine at Nevada City
Is looking well. The cleanup for seven
days run amounted to 81, 400, and the
Nevada City Transcript says of the
MayfiOwer mine that Every rich rock is
being taken out, and the indications are
that the mine will soon be one Of the
regular dividend payers of this dis
trict."
The San Francisco Bulletin says:
Erich quartz discoveries have been
made at the head of Shasta river, about
seven miles west of Igerna. Two own
ers have a ledge, nearly two feet in
width, which prospects well. showing
gold to the naked and assaying over
5000 to the ton. If this discovery should
cause the development of other lodges
in that section, rich mining camp
may be the result, as there is an
abundance of water at hand for
running mills and washing purposes.
This locality is on the dividing range
between the Shasta and Trinity rivers,
where the Sacramento. Scott. Trinity
and Shasta rivers originate from eX-
tensive springs.
1.-THE Bald Hill diggings, recently dis
covered, about six miles from Crescent
City, Del Norte county, have proved
both extensive and rich. The miners
now there are preparing to work on a
grand scale in sinking shafts and
building fumes"

New York Times.
A young Mexican, carrying a per-
forated tin box which reSembled an old
fashioned lantern. strolled along West
Fifty-ninth street one evening and
stopped in front of the Hotel POmeroy.
From the tin lantern came beautiful
yellowish green light. such as no can

A number of gentlemen were sitting
on the hotel porch, and the boy with
the lantern stepped up to them and
said:

He then threw back his coat and dis
closed several Urge beetles secured to
his vest by light threads tied about
their bodies.
Each beetle carried two powerful
search lights on the dorsal surface of
its thoraX, placed so az to throw the
light directly in front of its eyes. When

they were touched with the finger.
The TIN box contained fully fifty more

The young Mexican took several of
the beetles from the box and made them
parade up and down the walk to display
their lights to better advantage. At
the samettime their cousins the tireflies
were glowing among the trees over in

The boy called the beetle cucujo.
The sales were rapid. and soon every
one was asking how long they would
live and what To feed them on.
"Give them ripe fruit" the boy said,
''and they will live till cold weather
