a YANKEES SHREWDNESS
Sailed His Claim and Quietly Waited for
His Victims.

Sailed His Claim and Quietly Waited for
His Victims.
Judge Stevens, of Ironwood, is good
story teller and, one evening, when the
thermometer was below zero at Iron
wood and the wind was whistling out
side of a coy room where was burning
cheerful fire, he related a tale of a
Yankees shrewdness. The Judge is an
old miner and went out west with the
rush for gold. Near claim where
the judge was working was thin, an
gular New Englander, who just kept
shoveling ore and paid no attention to
any one else. One day some capitalists
came along and casually picked up n
few chunks from the Yankees output.
When they got back to town they had
them assayed and they yielded wonder
full results. The capitalists jumped in
the air for joy. Then they went back
and there was the old fellow shoveling
the same as ever and not saying Il
word.
you'll never do anything this way, -
remarked one of the capitalists.
"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, / 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 capital
lists were wild with excitement. They
went back the following day to see the
old man who gazed upon them with
unconcern as they approached. He
was n tacturn individual, with an hon
est face, and he looked as though he
would rather die than wrong anyone.
MY friend" said one of the capital
lists, what will you sell out for?"
Wouldn't sell out"
but we want to buy"
What You want to buy for? There
is nothing here We. Maybe some day,
but the hole amt worth anything"
I'VE want to buy it. though. and will
give you ten thousand dollars for II
st amt worth ten cints.
evil you sell it?''
Nope"
Give you twenty thousand dollars"
Nope"
Finally sixty thousand dollars was
offered
WELL" said the Yankee. you can
have it, if you want, but l tell you it's
nothing but a hole in the ground. May
be worth a lot some day, but now it
amt worth sixty cents"
But the money was paid and the cap
italists received the hole Tt" Yankees
assertions were correct The hole was
not worth sixty cents, but the taciturn
Yankee had spread few rich samples
around, and then waited for some fish
to bite. He had an honest face, but
human nature is sometimes deceptive.

OCCUPATIONS AND HEALTH.
Gardeners Live a Long Time. Liquor Sell
ers and Butchers Do Not.

Gardeners Live a Long Time, Liquor Sell
ers and Butchers Do Not.
The influence of occupation on health
has long been a subject of interested
observation. But the results of observa-
tions of this kind in different countries
have not always agreed, probably for
the reason that they were made under
different conditions. Climate, for eX-
ample, will make an outdoor occupa-
ton more deadly in one country than
in another. And working indoors at
certain trades may be pursued without
serious menace to health in properly
ventilated premises, where without
such ventilation the work may prove
very injurious.
1t is interesting to trace for series
of years the effect of occupation on a
large number of people in a great vari-
ETY. of employments. The official fig
ures of the United Kingdom show that
between 5000. 600 and 1900, 900 of fe-
males, young and old, are classified as
having a definite ,25S, 600
are engaged at domestic service; 600, 900
each at dressmaking and the manu-
lauldrying; 125, 900 nursing; So, 900 lodg-
ing-house keeping. And besides these
occupations there are many others at
which the women employed outnum Der
the men; for example, boOkbinding,
confectionery-malxin straw-plaiting.

worsted manufacture. And, indeed,

most recent information on this sub

and Health" in which many curious
facts are presented, concerning the re-
lation of occupations to mortality
rates.
The largest mortality rate in the in
door occupations considered is found
among the liquor sellers, fact which
explains the reluctance of life insur-
ance companies to write insurance on

liquor sellers into three classes
licensed grocers hotel keepers and bar
lleepers-and shows the respective NOR
tally rates to be, from % years of age
upward, 1919, %. s and 2S. respectively,
which shows that the life risk of the
average harkeeper is an extremely
hazardous quantity.
Among the 1000 gardeners the death
rate is found to be 1915: carpenters,
