How a Yankee Sold his Sailed Mine.
From Detroit Free Press.l

Judge Stevens, of Ironwood, is good
story teller, and one evening, when the
thermometer was below zero at Iron
wood and the wind was Whistling outside
of cosy room where was burning
cheerful fire he related tale of Yam
KEGS shrewdneas. The Judge is an old
miner and went out west with the rush
for gold. Near a claim where the Judge
was working was a thin, angular New
Highlander, who just kept shovelling ore
and paid no attention to any one else.
One day some capitalists came along and
casually picked up few chunks from
the Yankees output. When they got
back to town they had them assayed,
and they yielded wonderful results. The
capitalists jumped in the air for Joy.
Then they went back and there was the
old fellow shoveling the same as ever
and not saying word
"You'll never do anything this way"
remarked one of the capitalists.
swell, I'll get on" returned the Yam
kee, plying his pick with renewed energy.
"You should interest capital to help
you develop that hole in the ground"
continued the capitalist.
"Can develop it myself, guess" said
the Yankee.
Think yOu'V got anyCnlng!
"Not yet. Nothing in sight,"
Then the gentlemen took several more
pieces of rock and went back to town.
These assayed even richer than the first
samples, and the capitalists were wild
with excitement. They went back the
following day to see the old man, who
gazed upon them with unconcern as they
approached. He was taciturn individ-
mol xDith q n hnpoct fono ond ho 1nnHnI
as though he would rather die than
wrong any one.
"My FRIEND" said one of the capital
lists, ''what will you sell out for?"
"Wouldn't sell out"
"But we want to buy
"What do you to buy for? There is
nothing here yet. May be some day,
but this hole amt worth anything"
"We want to buy it though, and will
give you $4,000"
SIT amt worth ten cents"
"Will you sell it?'
"Nope."
Give you 100000"
"Nope."
Finally 100000 was offered.
ssWell," said the Yankee, "you can
have it if you want, but tell you it's
nothing but hole in the ground. May
be worth lot some day, but now it
amt worth 60 cents.'
But the money was paid and the cap
italists received the hole. The Yankees
assertions were correct. The hole was
not worth go cents, but the taciturn Yam
kee had spread few rich samples around
and then waited for fish to bite. He had
an honest face, but human nature is
sometimes deceptive.

this same time, reports on the in
crease of leprosy throughout the
world were beginning to alarm peo-
pie. These two causes, Father Da-
mien's death and the spread of lep-
rosy, were the starting points of the
foundation of the National Leprosy
Fund in London, of which the
Prince of Wales is the President,
Baron Ferdinand de Rothsohild is
Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee, and Sir Somers Vine Sec
rotary. The society was formed
for the purpose of investigating the
causes of leprosy and to do as
much as was possible toward allie
WAITING the suffering of those afllict-
ed with the terrible disease.
On January 13, 1910, a subscrip-
ton dinner was given at the Hotel
Metropole in London. Over $l2,-
500 was realized at this one dinner,
and soon afterward the fund was
swelled to $4,000. Of this amount
$500 was appropriated for the pur-
pose of erecting a memorial to
Father Damien in Hawaii. AS a
result of this action, the CROSS
which was sent out here last year,
and which was unveiled at the
Leper Settlement on September
18th last, shows the respect of the
English Government for Father
Damien. The cross was sent here
from England free of charge, and
the expenses of its erection were
paid by this Government.
The erection ceremony was a
most impressive one. 1t was con-
Quoted by Mr.. Stiles, then Under
Secretary of the Foreign Office. He
spoke first in English and afterward
in Hawaiian, and paid a high trib-
ute to the worth of the dead priest.
During the Hawaiian portion of his
remarks, the natives were greatly
affected, as all of them knew
Father Damien well and loved him.
There were a number of prominent
people present, including The Bishop
of Panopolis, who replied on behalf
of the Catholic Church, the Bishop
of Honolulu, the Minister of the
Interior and others.
