well Preserved old sc,,,.m.,

Some Of these elderly persons will wink
and look wise and boast Of their unim-

taste for such vigorous exercise"

from a punt hid in a tule blind; they
dc not dance, nor ride horseback, nor

gentlemen get out Of a buggy or walk
up hill; hear him pant and wheeze 4;
see him avoid a draft from a crack in
a door or window see him throw his
handkerchief over his bald head when
he goes to sleep in church.
This elderly gentleman carries a
substantial cane, wears thick under

corsets il too fat and a liver pad. His
hair gets thin. his legs get weak, he
gets irritable, thinks this generation is

world is growing dishonest and the
country is going TO the devil.
II he is a lawyer, he has become an
old fogy, and the boys worry him with
sharp practice. If he is q doctor, he
regards all young men as quacks and
progress in medicine as empiricism.

continues to look wiser, till at the age
Of fifty the c~ountenance is rigid with

The gold strikes have been numerous

fact that the gold belt extends at least
three miles, the discoveries being that

A miner operating on Sabe creek,
Idaho, for some time past has missed
a great deal OF amalgam from bis sluice
boxes. He determined to keep watch
for the thief, and several nights ago he
saw a calf nibbling grass near the
boxes. often reaching over the rim and
drinking the water that flowed over
the rifles. He, however, paid no at
tention to the animal. The theft Of
amalgam still continued, and a few
nights ago when the calf appeared he
shot it. He ran to where the calf was
lying and saw a human leg with the
foot wrapped in sacks ~protruding from
the animals stomach. II took him
but a second to realize that he had
shot the thief, who had been cleverly
disguised as a calf. The miner took
the culprit to camp, and much to his
surprise he discovered the thief was q
