LUCK IN THE MINES.
The Joke That Did Not Have the Seque
- which Was Intended.

The Joke That Did Not Have the sequel
which Was Intended.
Not many miles from Shasta City, in
California, is gulch Of which a
strange story is told. 1t IS deep ra-
vine, with rocks showing all the way
up the sides. Gold in paying quauti-
ties has been found along the stream,
but it seemed to disappear few feet
from the channel. One day, says the
Youths Companion, while a gang of
men were toiling in the stream,
stranger, evidently ignorant Of min
ing, came along and leaned on his
ragged elbows 70 watch the results Of
their labor
The miner near him took out FIVE
dollar nugget. and anxiety overcame
the ignorant stranger
Say, he asked where can go to
diggin' t. find it like that?'"
The hardy miner stopped his work,
and giving the wink to all the boys so
that the joke should not be lost, pointed
up to the barren rocks where no gold
had ever been found.
You see that rough-lookin' placer"
Yes. said the new hand.
Well. thar il is rich. Jes' you stake
out claim an go to work, an when
we finish here we'll come up, too"
The new hand thanked the miner
and the boys all grinned their appre-
citation Of the joke. That afternoon a
solitary figure was seen picking on the
hillside, and every time the miners
looked mp they roared with laughter.
But the next day the new miner
struck pocket, and took out several
thousands Of dollars in gold. Then he
came and thanked the miner who had
sent him up there, and went down into
the valley and bought farm, while
the other miners dotted that same
rocky hillside for days without finding
pocket. They agreed that it was a
Joke, but not exactly OF the kind they
had intended.

FISHING WITH DOGS.
Unique Method of Capturing Salmon UseC
by the Aims


by the Anus
The savages of Saghalin island have
a unique methoa of fishing for salmon
trout with their dogs, description Of
which is given in "Trans-Siberian Saw
ages" The water around the island
is wonderfully clear. The author, who
went out in a canoe, says the bottom
was distinctly visible, while from
under the canoe the frightened salmon
trout were swimming seward in such
numbers it seemed as if it would be
difficult 20 drop stone into the water
without striking one.
From the time we started I was
puzzled to guess what the Anus could
be taking thirty dogs with them for.
l was soon TO find out. At certain
point all the men and dogs came 70
halt. Half the men and dogs then
moved farther along the waters edge
about two hundred yards.
At concerted signal the dogs were
and swan straight out seward in
single file in two columns. At wild,
sharp cry from all the Anus the right
column wheeled left and the left col
umn wheeled right until the head of
each column met. Then at another
signal all of them swan in line toward
the shore, advancing more and more in
crescentic formation.
As the dogs neared the shore in
creasing numbers of fish appeared in
the shallow water, frightened forward
by the splashing Of the advancing col
umn of dogs, which, as soon as their
feet touched bottom, pounced upon
the fishes as quick as a flash.
The animals promptly brought the
fish which they had seized 70 their
masters, who cut off their heads and
gave each dog the head which be-
longed to him as his share of the catch.
The dog who caught nothing got moth
ing
believe this dog drill Of the Anus
is entirely unique. 1t is all the more
remarkable. too, as the dogs, many of
which have been captured from the
forest, are still half wild.

A good workman likes good tools,

cites striking example,
A well was 10 be cleaned, but the
man who had undertaken the job was
afraid to go down until he had tested
the quality Of the air at the bottom.
He let down lighted candle and when
il was about six feet from the bottom it
went out as suddenly as il Whit of
wind had struck il.
That told the man all he needed 10

The Vast Damage which These Enemies

There are more ants to the square

small that they can hardly be seen to

BOB LOST HIS GEESE.
How an Alligator Occupied His Spare
Time During the Summer.

Time During the Summer.
Six or eight years ago Bob Vorus
started a goose farm on his mill pond
He knew the value of feathers, and
thought the people would appreciate
the opportunity of obtaining them
near home for making pillows and beds.
His big mill pond was such a fine place
for them to swim and live and raise in.
So he got up five or six hundred pairs
of geese, and put them on his pond.
They were in their glory, and the
water was dotted from morning till
night as they gracefully glided along
over the placid expanse of the pond.
Their nests were built IN the rushes
along its sides, and their melodious
voices reverberated along its banks
from end TO end. But they did not in
crease according TO Bob's notion-their
numbers were diminishing pereeptibly.
A dead one could be seen occasionally
drifting along the edge of the border
ing rushes. At first Bob thought it
might be minks, offers skunks, pos
sums, or what. not that y ere destroy
ing them, hut soon found ou that it
was alligators, for he actually saw one
day one of the ugly reptiles catch a
goose and pull it under the water.
Partly-eaten geese would sometimes be
found. In the course of a few months
Bob had the same big pond of water,
but not single goose.
Bob hates an alligator, and he and
his ten boys have been occupying the
duh summer months in killing them.
They bring into town two or three
every week for the children TO get
frightened at. The other day they
brought up the biggest one yet. II
measured nine feet and a half in
length and weighed somewhat under
four hundred pounds. It was forty
seven years old by the rings on its tail.
1t had already begun to stow away pine
knots for the winters supply. Itsoap-
petite seemed not to be confined to
geese and light wood knots, for an au-
topsy discovered in its capacious cold
storage reservoir pair of brogans and
pipe.
