clear one. Deed was made by Ward
to Nose Tannin, and by Nose to Mr..
Claypool, as Nose would not consent
to direct transfer from Ward to the
third party.
II will sell my right, but I give
everybody to understand that 1 re-
gard the claim as of little value" de-
clared Ward openly ere he signed the
paper. The un-heard-of honesty of
such statement ut such a moment
amazed the miners present. Mr.. Clay
pool with cold nod made no reply
but gave Nose fifteen hundred dol
lars. and the cash was passed by Nose
j into Wards hand.
At this point the transaction stopped,
albeit the documents We're all signed.
Mr.. Claypool overheard a remark from
a bystander which aroused his s,lspic-
ions. He left the deed III the survey
or's charge until morning, when he
agreed to pay the balance due.
Great was the hilarity in Horseshoe
camp the next day. Mr.. ClaypooJ hired
two experienced miners TO go with him
to the Pillar of Fire. where thorough
examination of the ledge was made,
the worthless quality of the claim dis
closed. and Nose Tannin's artifice un-
covered. Then ensued furious scene
| in the hotel bar-room, Ciaypool de
manding back his fifteen hundred dol
| lars on peril of arrest for cospIracy;
| and Nose fierceiy denying fraud, defy
| ing the law, and threatening to shoot
| the visitor if he did not pay the re-
| mainder due on their bargain. Stymer
| declared that he knew nothing of the
| rights of the matter, but one thing
! was clear-that ClaypoOl mad nothing
to do with Ward Talbot. who sold out
| fair and square to Nose and took his
money from Nose alone; therefore he
| must look to Nose only, and not tn
| Ward, for his redress. This declara
| ton the miners present hOarsely
cheered in the interests of fair play, to
| ClaypoOl's great alarm. 1t followed
| that Mr.. ClaypOol. overawed and az
frighted, profoundly chagrined to find
| himself SO easily deceived, left camp
at once, while Nose. the butt of merci
less jests, mounted his pinto and fled
over the trails to the Frazer river pla
| GERS.
The nightly camp fire roared bcfor.
| Ward Talbot's hut and shed It's genial
rays far into the receSses of the quak
| ing aSpS, while the youth spread before
| his partners in farewell banquet the
choicest viantls Obtainable. His com
rades passed the sooty coffee pot will
merry words, and their grizZled leader
said, as he whipped open a fresh cal
of potted ham:
I'm glad your going back to the
farm, Ward, with the stake you've got
It's better for you. I'd like to return
to civilization myself. but an old minel
like me can't change. You've had 8
queer piece of luck, and the best of il
is. you were square and true yourself
from first to last and those two greedy
sharps played their little game to youl
advantage. 1t isn't often that mining
tricks are such benefit to hones

he lamenting all the time that he had
sold the animal and devising schemes
by which he could get her back. When
he got to Goshen he telegraphed to the
Middleton bank, on which Jersey Bills
check was drawn, asking neither the
check was good for $500. The answer
was that it was good for only $500.
Then John III. was determined to drive
straight to New Hampton and take the
mare out of the stable and lead her
away. Being a lawyer I knew that he
would get himself into & peck Of trOu-
BILE if he undertook such a thing as
that, and 1 told him SO. But he was
bound to do it, and while he was get
ting the horse ready to start he was
handed a telegram. 1t was from the
bank and it said that Jersey Bill had
made his check good for $500. There
never was a more disappointed, dis
heartened man in the world, than Mr.
Decker was, and he never got over it.
well, Jersey Bill sold the mare, as
everybody knows, to Alden Goldsmith
for 5000, and Bill Bondine made her
the horse that carried the name of
Goldsmith Maid all over the world.
And that's the way 1 helped to buy
her."

HINDOOS HANDY WITH THEIR
FEET.

In the native quarters of the towns
of India the strange spectacle may be
seen of butcher seizing piece of
meat in his hands and cutting it in
two with a stroke of his knife held
between the first and second toes Of
his foot. The shoemaker uses no last,
but turns the unfinished shoe with
his feet, while his hands are busy
shaping it. So the carpenter holds
with his great toe the board which he
is cutting, and the woodturner handles
his tools as well with his toes as with
his fingers.
This use of the feet to assist the
hands in their labor is not, however,
the result of practice, but is princi-
pally due to the fact that the HindOO
foot is quite different from ours in
it's anatomical conformation, says the
Chicago Dispatch. The ankle of the
Hindoo and the articulation of the
back of the foot permit considerable
lateral motion. Then the toes possess
Il surprising mobility. The great toe
can be moved freely in all directions,
and the first and second toes are sep
arated by wide space, sometimes as
much as five-cighths of an inch across
at the base of the toes and two inches
at their eXtremities. The use of the
hip is also peculiar, and this renders
it easier to use the toes in handling
the objects by enabling the Hindoo to
sit in a squatting position much more
easily than we can. A similar fOrma-
ton of the feet and toes is found
among the Annamese, but it is not,
as might be supposed, a common
thing among barbarous and savage
tribes.
One naturally thinks of the resem-
blance to a monkey which a human
being using both feet and hands in
the manner described above must
present and yet NJ Regnault is care
full to point out the fact that the
fIindoo foot is not at all like the foot
of an ape or a monkey. The great
toe is not opposed to the other toes
like thumb, rs occurs with the
monkey, and accordingly the pedal
dexterity of the Hindoos is not to be
taken as an indication of imian de-
Scaut

the mental horizon of youth color life
for all after years. They are the well
springs which water the thought gar
den of the soul.
The above story contains as good a
Sunday sermon as the most able Of
divines can preach. Ever since the
world began there has been certain
class of people, who, being governed
by their own selfish and grasping na-
lures. sneer at everything that is lofty
and high souled. They see nothing
that is worth anything in life except
the qualification of worldly desires.
They sneer at and rid rule the high
ideal life because they have no con-
ception of it's splendid compensations.
The youth who has been properly
reared by a loving mother and a grave
but indulgent father and who has been
taught to revere the beautiful and the
good, Is sent to college where the gild-
ed youth of the land are ready to laugh
at and ridicule his most cherished
ideals. There is no more powerful
WEAPON in the hands of persons who
desire to turn one from the proper
course than ridicuIe. The youth holds
out bravely at first, but the tide against
him is too strong and he gradually
turns from that which he had con-
stituted in his own mind his life work,
and joins the great throng of pleasure
seekers. He forgets the schemes of
hope and pride which his youthful
heart had first reveled in, and becomes
a calIous. selfish and blaze man of the
world, whose early ideals have been
trampled in the dust and whose glor-
ious and GOd-like inspirations have
departed from him never to return un
til the Judgment day. Will not the
youth of our country who are now
enjoying the gladness of life's spring
time listen to the teachings of those
who have passed through the fiery
ordeal of worldly experience and re-
solve to follow the dictates of their
own consciences and the teachings of
those who love them best, instead of
departing from the pathway of right
and rectitude to pursue that unreal
ignis fatuus called worldly pleasure?

INSTINCT OF BIRDS.

While British brig was gliding
smoothly along before a good breeze
in the South Pacific, flock of small
birds about the size, shape and color
of paroquets, settled down in the rig
ging and xassed an hour or more
resting. The second mate was so
anxious to find out the species to
which the visiting strangers belonged
that he tried to entrap a specimen,
but the birds were too shy to be thus
caught, and too spry to be seized by
the quick hands of the sailors. At
the end of about an hour the birds
took the briggs course, and disap-
peared. but towards nightfall they
came back and passed the night in
the maintop. The next morning the
birds few off again, and when they
returned at noon, the sailors scat
tered some food about the decks. BY
this time the birds had become so
tame that they hoped about the
decks picking up the crumbs. That
afternoon an astonishing thing hap
pened The flock came flying swiftly
toward the brig. Every bird seemed
to be piping as if pursued by some
little invisible enemy on wings. and
they at once huddled down behind a
deckhouse. The superstitiOus sailors
at once called the captain of the brig,
who rubbed his eyes and looked at
the barometer. A glance showed that
something was wrong with the ele-
ments, and the brig was put In shape
to outride a storm. The storm came
about twenty minutes after the
birds had reached the vessel. For a
few minutes the sky was like the
waterless bottom of lake-a vast
arch of yellowish midland torrents
of rain fell. Why it did not blow
very hard no one knows; but on reach
ing port two days later they learned
that a great tornado had swept across
that part of the sea.

CAPTAIN CROSBY FOUND.

Tacoma, Oct. IA special to the
Ledger from Occsta says an Indian
came in from North beach yesterday
and reported body as having washed
ashore. From the description Of the
clothing and the fact that a gold
watch was found on the body, the re-
mains are believed to be those of Cap
tain Crosby, Of the U. s. s. Macarthur,
who with four other was drowned a
month ago.
