The two most remarkable epitaphs 10
the United States are those Of Daniel
Barrow. formerly Of Sacramento. and
that of Hank Monk, Horace Greeleys
stage driver. The former reads as fol
lows; Here is laid Daniel Barrow, who
was born in Sorrow and Borrowed little
from nature except his name, and his
love to mankind, and his hatred for red.
skins Who was nevertheless a gentle
man and dead shot, who through a
long life never killed his man except in
self defense or by accident, and who
when he at last went under beneath the
bullets of his cowardly enemies in JEFF
Morris saloon, did so in the sure and
certain hope of glorious and everlast
ing morrow"
Hank Monks epitaph reads thus ''Sa
cred to the memory of Hank Monk. the
whitest. biggest hearted and best known
stage driver of the west. who was kind
to all and thought i'll of none. He lived
in a strange era and was a hero, and the
wheels of his coach are now ringing on

tiesi What is picayune So piece for an
hours job compared to the shining show
ers Of glittering gold that came for hack
hire in the days gone byi
And, to think Of 1t, there was only one
hack In all California---one solitary car
riage-and Mike Brannigan owned 1t.
He did not own all Of it, of course. That
would have been a monopoly too great,
too vast, too ponderous to be tolerated even
in a country that reeked with gold, but
he held a third interest in the outfit. Jim
Travers and Johnny Grove held the rest.
An Australian had brought over the rig
from Sydney, and they bought 1t from him
for 81, 900. Horses they picked up at $3.50

next one" explained the colonel, ''the
plugs weren't worth $40.
when we got out the new carriage
from Brewster in 1854" continued the
colonel, Kate Hayes paid $500 for the
first ride in it. Two hours it was, and
four horses. Yes, you bet the money
came easy, and 1t went that way too. Go
into the Eldorado of a night or maybe
the Bella Union and throw down fifty
slug on the first card that was handy. Jim
McCabe had a German girl he paid $50 a
day to for just sitting over the roulette

A SUMMERS DAY INCIDENT
Which Illustrates the Proverb "Pride
Goeth Before Fall"

The young man with the pepper and sat
suit, the yellow shoes and the straw hat
bound about by varicolored ribbon was
walking just ahead, observes the philoso-
pher Of the Chicago Record. He seemed
to know that he was made up for display,
for he kept looking in at the show win
dows and pulling down his cuffs. At the
corner one of those sudden gusts of wind
which seem to come from nowhere blew
off his straw hat, the one with the vari-
colored ribbon.
He made grab with both hands, but it
was too late. The wind had taken it off his
head.
He saw a hat rolling down the street,
travelling on one edge. OF course he was
after it,

"Hoorayl" yelled the corner newsboy.
The pedestrian found time to stop and
encourage him In his chase But the hat
had long start on him, and the wind

was holding out. Once he saw the hat
topple over and lie quietly on the cobble-
stones for moment. Then puff of wind
raised 1t and sent it wheeling along at an
Increased speed.
He did not hear the jeering laughter OF
the Transfers. With lips firmly set and
nostrils distended he ran, gaining every
moment. Once he was delayed The hat
ran under coal wagon, and he had to go
around. At last the hat ran into the curb
stone near corner street lamp, and with
a pounoe he was upon it.
All flushed and breathless, he picked it
up, and then he leaned against the lamp
post to rest.
A man, also flushed and breathless. came
running up and took the hat out of his
hands.
''I'm much Obliged, F" said he.
"For what"
This is my hat"
where's mine, theni"
Hanging behind you at tho end Of the
string"
Sure enough, he had forgotten all about
his new hatstring.
