All His Good Luck Came on Friday.
Colonel Joe Bowling, who was ex-
Governor CampbelPs Oil inspector,
has secured the Cincinnati collector
ship. In a conversation he reviewed
his career 10, politics, and. as it oc-
cured to him for the first time, he
maryeled at the number Of times
Friday came in it. Said he: II was
married on Friday. My first appoint
ment, Deputy Sheriff Of Montgomery
County, was on Friday, and on that
day Gov. Campbell made me OH In
spector. L came years ago to work
for the appointment Of a friend to
the coIlectorship, which was an
nounced on Friday, and I was made
his deputy on Friday I became an
applicant and was appointed Collector
on Friday. I will assume the duties
of my Office on Friday, and as Dec. 1
falls on Friday I will draw my first
pay on that day. Next Friday will
leave for home; and well, ! expect to
die on Friday. Who says Friday is
an unlucky day?' No, wasn't born
on Friday, but believe that is the
only missing link in the entire COM
bination. -Indianapolis Sentinel

A Curious House.

It is a grand house, and to build
one like it would cost millions or
dollars, if it could be done at all
And yet the man who lived in it had
hardly a dollar to mis- name. But
then he didn't buy the house. because
it was made by nature on the rocky
walls of Cabine Canyon, in Arizona,
thousands of years ago, and has been
ready for an occupant ever since.
The man who lives in it is a pros
pector known as Mike. What other
name he has is not known, and beside
it doesn't matter. He says he was
going up the canyon one day when he
first saw the place, and thought 1t
was a house built by man. When he
saw his mistake he simply took pos
session. Mixes house is truly most
deceptive piece of natures handl-
work and a very useful one. 1t is Oh
the canyon walls, probably 100 feet
above the bottom, and a fight OF
natural stones steps leads up to it.
1t is hard to convince ones self
that it is not the work of man until

enormous size alone would make
person know differently. 1t is only
one story, but the outside wall is
over 100 feet high. The door, which
is in good proportion, is over twenty
five feet high, and the room on. the
inside reaches up and ends in black
vault that there is NO telling how far
away it is
When Mike wants a fire he just
makes it on the floor and the smoke
cur.s up to the top and disappears
somewhere. This is somewhat queer,
as NO water comes into the place and
the smoke cannot be seen coming out
anywhere. But it very likely goes
through some assure into a cave be-
yond. But Mike doesn't care where
it goes. He is satisfied with the con
venience, and thinks he is the best
fixed prospector in the mountains
This house of rock is most strongly
suggestive of Egyptian architecture,
and also bears a great resemblance to
some. of the cave dwellings in the
Salt River Valley. The thing is an
interesting curiosity, and although 1T
is the house Of prospector now
there is strong possibility that 1t
may in the past have done duty as
home for some members of the lost
races of this strange country.

His Victims. .

His Victims.
Judge Stevens Of Ironwood, is q
good story teller and, one evening,
when the thermometer was below
zero at Ironwood and the wind was
whistling outside Of coy room
where was burning cheerful fire, he
related tale of Yankees shrewd-
ness The Judge is an Cid miner and
went out West with the rush for
gold. Near claim where the Judge
was working was thin, angular New
Engiander, who just kept shoveling
ore and paid no attention 20 anyone
else. One day some CAPITALISTS came
along and casually p cked up a few
chunks from the Yankees output.
When they got back to town they
had them assayed ard they yielded
wonderful results. The capitalists
jumped in the air for Joy. Then they
went back and there was the old fell
low shoveling the same as ever and
not saying word.
you'll never do anything this
way" remarked one of the capital
lists
"Well, I'll get on" returned the
Yankee, 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, 1 guess.
said the Yankee.
Think you've got anything?"
''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 capt.
talists were wild with excitement.
They went back the following day to
see the old man, who gaZed upon
them with unconcern as they ap-
preached. He wasa. taciturn indi-
vidual, with an honest face, and he
looked as though he would rather die
than wrong anyone.
"My friend" said one of the capt.
talists, "what will you sell out fer?"
"Wouldn't sell out"
''But we want to buy"
"What you want to buy for? There
is nothing here yet. Maybe some
day, but this hole amt worth any
thing"
"We want to buy it, though. and
will give you $40, 000."
sit amt worth ten cents"
"Will you sell it,"
''Nope."
''Give you 500, OOO."
'Nope."
Finally $50, 900 was offered.
"Well." said the Yankee you
can have it, ii you want, but 1 tell
you it's nothing but hole in the
ground. May be worth lot some
day, but now it amt worth sixty
cents"
But the money was paid and the
capitalists received the hole. The
Yankees assertions were correct
The hole was not worth sixty cents,
but the taciturn Yankee had spread
a few rich samples around, and then
waited for some fish to bite. He had
an honest face, but human nature is
sometimes deceptive.-Free Press.

DRAMA AMONG TIE MoNGoLs.
Chinese WomaD's Pathetic Tale of He
Fafthless Hushandss Desertion.

A pathetic scene occurred on the water
front yesterday which tends to disprove
the popular belief that the Chinese char
seter is devoid of any idea of morality
and is Impervious TO the sentiments which
fill the life OF the ordinary human being
Among batch of Cinnamon, which arrived
from Portland during the day on their
way 10 their native home by steamer via
VIctoris. was plain looking young China
woman. Inspector Schuyler was on hand
to see what the new arrivals were intend
ing to do and to examine their certificates.
The woman said she had no certificate,
and then he proceeded to examine her
baggage. as he had that of the others.
While 30 engaged his attention was at
tracted TO the woman by sob. and. look
ing up. he asked in pigeon English;
"Nhassa malta your"
The woman brushed aside big tear from
each eye. aud replied disconsolately:
''Me no happy: me veily sad. Ny hus-
band no like me an he Iun away to San
Francisco. ] no sabe wnassa malta he lun

To prove her story she produced letter
written by an educated Chinamsn in As
toria and addressed TO the customs officers,
stating that the woman had been deserted
by hsr husband and that at her own re-
quest the Chinese there had circulated q
donation slip and gave her enough money
to pay her fare home and have q little on
hand when she arrived. The letter also
requested that the woman be molested as
little as possible and be aided in reaching
her destination.
