able thing is she has done all the work
herself.
Like thousands of people, even at this
late day, Mrs Hill was attracted TO Cali
fOrnia by desire TO own gold mine. She
was born and raised al 81. Augustine, Fla,
in which place she worked for living and
married. But her husband did not live
long and after the funeral she had Just
enough money to take her to San Fran
cisco. On her arrival here she secured
EN- plOyment at q hotel near SiSS0ns, and
while working there managed to find out
something about gold ore and where she
would be likely TO find nine. She asked
questions abOnt prospecting, and at last
got so that she could tell a piece of vaiu-
able rock when she saw it.
When she earned enough money she
started out pros pecting just as man
would. She had her burrO and blankets
and was not afraid 10 60 into the widest
regions.
Her first trip was unsuccessful. but she
was not discouraged and went back to
work until she saved up another grub
stake" This time she found three good
prospects. The rock that she brought
back all assayed very high and she was in
a fever OF excitement and didn't waste any
more time pros Getting. She simply made
up her mind which prospect would be the
b.
with pick, shovel and blasting powder.
That was nearly four years ago, and she
has been working the claim several
months each year, and now has fairly
well-developed mine and large dump Of
good ore ready for the stAmpmill.
Mrs. Hill's mine is located in the Shasta
country about six miles from a camp
called Igo. Ii is just like any other mi
ing claim and size lives alone in a tent,
often going weeks without seeing human
being. 1t is wild spot and wild beasts
are plentiful in the neigh borhood. But
they don't frighten the woman the least
bit. She has a gold mine, all her own,
that she can sell for a good price. But
she won't do that. She intends to work it
herself until it is worth money enough for
her to raise money on 1t so she can put in
q mill of her own. She has hopes. though,
that q mill will soon be built in the neigh
borbood that will work her ore for her.
Then she will hire help, aud il won't be
long before she is wealthy woman.

Showed His Gratitude.

A good story about a lawyer is 60
ing the rounds. 1t seems that tramp
was indicted for stealing watch. He
was arraigned and pleaded not guilty.
Having no money and being without
funds and total stranger, the court
assigned his defense to the attorney IN
question. The tramp was as guilty as
a man ever was, but as the attorney
was young in practice and desirous OF
grinding off some of his wire edges
against the district attorney he accept
ed the task.
Nothing daunted, the young attor-
ney rose before the jury to sum up bis
case. Providence had endowed him
with tongue capable of almost any
thing. He had his address at his
tongues end, and the manner in which
he reeled it off established his name in
the community in characters as inef-
faceable as the rock ribs on Gibralter.
He held the twelve men tried and
true" spellbound They gazed at him
in open-mouthed wonder. Alternate
ly they laughed and cried, and people
in the audience followed their example,
It is said that it took the jury just
eight minutes to whitewash the tramp
and provide him with wings and halo
The verdict was for acquittal.
The tramp, SO thoroughly surprised
and overcome with emotion that he
could hardly speak, rose from his seat
the tears streaming down his cheeks
There was stiffness in the courtroom
"Mr. Lawyer" he exclaimed, broken
ly, "you don't know me-an' l don
know you. I-I-want to thank you
Liant got no money, but-but-
here's that watch.

A Queen Of Outlaws.

There accompanies the Cook gang OF
outlaws, who are now terrorizing In
dian Territory by their deeds Of pillage
and robbery, young woman who Is
Justly entitled to the title after which
she aspires-"tbe Queen of Outlaws
She is handsome, dashing, and pos
sessed of daredevil bravery rivallng
that of the notorious Belle Star, whom
she is said to resemble IN several ways.
She is a dead-sure shot with rifle or
six-shooter, cool and collected in time
of danger, fond of adventure, and even
more daring and reckless than male
members of the band. Her wearing
apparel is of silk and the finest Of other
materials, but made in common-sense
style, so not as to interfere with physi-
cal movements. She carries a six
shooter and large knife, and Is pre-
pared 10 use both to the best advantage
in case of an emergency, rides a horse
man fashion, and goes with the gang
everywhere, often leading in their acts
of deviltry.
A few days ago while they were all
in camp in the mountains north OF
Muldrow she went to that town, ac-
companied as far as the outskirts by
two Of the boys, who remained there
on guard. Attired in short silk
dress, close-ftting jacket and felt hat,
with the handles Of two revolyers
always conspicuous, she walked boldly
into the town, went to the postofice,
and inquired for mail for different mem
bers of the gang, after which she visit
ed several stores and made number
of purchases. In one Of the stores she
picked up large onion, reached her
hand into the bosom Of her dress, and
whipped out large knife; with IT she
peeled and sliced the fruit and ate it
with apparent relish, being the object
Of much curiosity by the bystanders.
AS she was leaving town two men
who stared at her were compelled to
hold up their hands and turn oveI
watches and money for their lmperti-
nence, after which she walked to where
the two men had tEe horses and coolly
rode of. This woman is twenty-two
years old, well educated, and comes o.
good family. She says she had
trouble and resorted to her present lif'
! for excitement to make her forget ths
past. Her name she viii divulgs to
no one. She is known only as doll
by her companions, and Is fairly Idol
lied by every one Of the outlaws

What the Chinese Eat.

A member of the British Parlia-
ment, Florence O O'Driscoll, has a pa
per in the November number of the
Century describing lie and street
scenes in Canton. Mr.. ODnscoll
says:
The food purveyors made a most
striking display. The fruiterers ex-
posed on fiat trays bananas, pineaP-
pies, melons, figs, pears (the latter
beautiful to the sight, but hard and
tasteless), together with many Chinese
fruits whose shapes and tastes were
familiar to me, but whose names |
knew not. Some of these fruits were
most artistically peeled, pineapple peel
ing being quite an art. A great va
riety of vegetables was offered for sale.
Among them were the white shoots OF
the bamboo, which seemed to be Ia
yorable article of diet. But to what
use. indeed, may not this wonderful
grass be put From it Cinnamon make
almost everything conceivable-hats'
cloaks, sheets, carpets, roofs, buildings
baskets, chairs, carrying-poles, fishing
tools-the list might be prolonged ad
infnitum. And they eat 1t as well.
Preserving ginger in many forms
was a noticeable trade. The roots
were washed and left in water as an
English cook treats potatoes before
boiling them. A number Of men and
women holding a two-pronged fork IN
each hand sat around a table with the
tubs of peeled ginger beside them
They picked ginger roots out OF the
water, and, laying them on the table,
pierced them all over very rapidly
with both forks until quite soft. The
pierced roots were then put into an
other tub, where they were boiled In
syrup. The ginger went through va
rious other minor processes until event
ually it was packed IN the earthenware
Jars in which it is sold in the European
shops. The whole process was certain
ly a clean one and the smell of the
aromatic root in preparation was both
grateful and pleasant.
In the bakers shops | saw nothing
corresponding to our European loaf
solid-looking little yellow patties, slabs
of habby brown cakes, emblematlc OF
concentrated dyspepsia; scones, or an
equivalent, apparently of fried batter
and great flakes of milk-white slippery
looking paste not an inch thick-to be
rolled up and deftly sliced with a
cleaver-shaped tool into long strings
like macaroni. These foods were to
be seen everywhere in the city, but
nothing light and open. To my eyes
the breadstuffs seemed sad, solemn, sod
dened and bilious.

For Men to Read.


Women are always being told how
they should behave when the man Of
the house comes home, they are advised
TO be cheerful and well dressed, no
matter how tired they feel, and in all
ways to make the homecoming bright
and pleasing, putting the annoyances
out of sight and presenting to the view
of the lord and master only the best
side, when in reality there has been
much TO vex and worry, and which if
told to a sympathizing husband or
father would not seem half 20 burden
some.
This advice is hackneyed, aud sell
dom, if ever, is there word said about
the behavior Of the self-same men,
whom women are supposed to please
even at the expense Of their own feel
ings. How many men, even though
they do find their wives looking sweet
and pretty to welcome them, ever tell
them so2 They take the good looks.

courtesy as their right and never think
that it would please their life partners
to have some pleasant little compli-
mentsry speech made TO them, as in
the olden days before my lord, the
head Of the house, was quite 30 sure Of
them.
Then again woman is told 10 keep
herself well informed 70 that she may
be able to enter into mental ccmpan-
ionship with her husband. Some men,
perhaps, do sit up and talk or keep
awake long enough to read aloud few
chapters from some widely-a;scused
novel, but too many find il imPossible

a man will argue in refutation 'f
these statements that the wage-earner
is tired and needs rest. Granted that
he does, then let him be just and not

day is far more wearing and yexatious
than bic own. II be likes to see his
wife dressed up let him pay particular
