Eve got dead burro out yonher, he
remarked, gazing to the west, land I
want to bury it.
The shovel was given him and away
he started He came back some time
after and said he had buried the car

was considered strange at the time,
as no one here ever thinks CT burying

hung about the section house for d few
hours and then left for Durmid, where
he mentioned his loss There he STAYED,
refusing all offers of food, but picking
up his subsistence from such food as he
could find about the place-dry bits of
bread, which even a coyote would have
seorned, he ate greediiJ. Then he
asked for a shovel and announced his
intention TO dig up his donkey, as he
had found a sovereign remedy against
death. The shovel was given him, and,
though the beast had been inferred
three or four days. the crazy man dis
inferred the remains He came back.
saying that the donkey refused TO get
mp and live. The section men sent
word that they had an insane man on
tflair hands and feared he would die,
as he refused food The conductor of
freight train was ordered to take him
into Yuma, and essayed the task. The
wretehed man would run Ike a deer
from his eaptors, offering violence to
anyone who came near him. Finally
one man r9are asCute than the rest said:
Lock here, the superintendent
wants to ses you IN Los Angeles and
pay you for the donkey You lost"

FATE OF GOLD HUNTERS

Driven Insane by Thirst While Seeking
Fortunes on the Colorado Desert
Misfortunes that have overtal1en so
many wretched desert gold hunters
seems TO have no effect on other seek
ers after fortune. says the Palm Springs
Coll correspondent of the New York
Telegram. Perhaps no fate has been
SO sad as that of the unknown pros
pector who was carried into Yuma re-
Gently insane for the want of water
ma food. The unhappy man put in
II appearance with his nurse at the
romantic village of Durmid on the
Southern Pacific track. Durmid Is il
the heart of the desert, and few miles
from Salton This and Volcano are the
dreariest spots IN the world For many
miles in the vicinity Of Volcano Springs
nothing grows. The ground Is treach-
erous. for under Its seemingly firm ex-
serior are boiling mnd wells There

Evan the miserable sage brush gets no
hospitality from the lean soil. a pitt
Hess sun by day and hot wind by
night greet tbc travellers who cross the
desert in their hunt for gold deposits
Here the prospeetor first brought him

Too Good a Joke.

Lord Bowen, an English judge, was
once tempted TO sum up ironically. It
was the case OF burglar who had
been caught, having entered from the
roof and taken the precaution to leave
his boots on top. His defense was that
he was in the habit of taking midnight
stroIls on the roofs of houses, and that
,he w0s tempted by curiosity to have a
look at one of the interiors. Lord
Bowen said, sarcastically: II, gentle
men of the jury, you think it probable
that the prisoner considered the roofs
of the houses a salubrious place for al
evening walk; IF you suppose that the
temptation to inspect the interior of
the houses beneath him was the out
come of natural and pardona BILE curl
ositV, In that case, of course, you will
acquit him. and regard him as &
thoughtful and considerate man, who
would naturally remove his boots be-
fore entering the house, and take
every prccaUtion not to disturb his
neighbors." To the judges amazement,
the Jury took him at his werd and ac-
quilted the prisoner. Lord Bowen
never attempted TO joke with jury
again.

Year TO tine Liquidation Of Debts-
Nobody in Germany has felt the evil
effects of the agricultural depression
more leenly than has Bismarck To
persons who have read of the magnii-
cent presents given to Bismarck by the
old emperor is has been q surprise to
learn recently that his estates are
heavily mortgeged. His present from
the old emperor after the Austro-Prus-
sian war of 1866 was 5000, 900, and with
this sum he bought his palace at Var
gin After the Franco-Prussian war
ne received from the same hands the
Saxon forest at Friedrichsruhe. valued
ut $3.50, 900. He inherited the ancestral
estate at Sehoenhausen. On April l,
1885, Rismarcks SEVENTEEN birthday,
his admirers throughout the world
gave him that portion of the Schoen-
hansen property which his father had
been obliged &c sell when times were
hard. The money value of the gift
was some $500, 600. Bismarck is also
distiller, forester and the owner of
large brick yard. Despite all these adj
vantages, however, says a writer in the
Home Journal, he has found it impossi-
bic 70 lift the mortgages, amounting to
about $3.50, 900, which have incumbered
his estates for many years. OF his
gross income more than $40, 600 must
be devoted every year to paying the in
tePest on his debts The burden is not
agreeable to the old chancellor, and he
has often remarked to his friends re-
Gently that his ambition to leave an
unincumbered property 10 his children
would never be gratifieC.
