jim FAIRS PRESENCE OF MIND.
Remarkable Story Told by the Son Of the
California Millionaire.

49, So-@ -
California Millionaire.
Charles Fair, the only male heir to the
late James G. Fair, sat in the billiard
room of the Palace hotel talking to
some pioneer friends of his father.
"Do you know, Charley, that book
of "reminiscences of your father would
sell like hot cakes? You ought to put
the data in the hands of some publisher
and let him issue the volume. What
do you think about it?"
The son smiled and looked up at the
talker, as he replied:
"Why don't you do it?"
"Me do It'll" exclaimed the man with
the publishing ideas. 81 didn't know
him."
"Neither did l." answered Charles.
"Nobody knew him. I don't think a
man ever lived who enjoyed his con-
fidence. I can assure you that he was
the same strange man to me that he
was to others, and his iron rule to keep
his own counsel was never broken.
Whenever he did fall into a con-
fidential and chatty mood it was to Jest
about something or to theorize. I re-
call story he once told Alfred E.
Davis, his old partner. The story
have in mind was woven into a serious
conversation, and he never cracked a
smile over it. Before proceeding, how
ever, I must tell you that in the Com
stock mines ladder goes down the
side of each shaft, and every twelfth
rung is iron, SO as to give the whole
additional strength. Well, father said
to him:
Davis, do you know was almost
killed once in the Crow Point mine?'
How was that, Jim?'
"This way. I was looking down
the shaft to see if everything was all
right and lost my balance. Being un-
able to recover myself, toppled over
and fell-yes, Davis, fell. must have
gone about a hundred feet when ii
suddenly struck me that if I didn't be-
gin doing something pretty quick I
would go clear through to hades. So
I reached out and grabbed rung OF
the ladder. 1t broke and grabbed the
next. That broke, too, but reached
for the third, which also gave way, and
the next, and the next, and so on, but
it broke my fall, and in about five min
utes I reached the bottom, little
Jared up, but perfectly sound
"Davis looked at him out of the cor.
ners of his eyes few seconds and said
"What did you do, Jim, when you
came to the twelfth rung? Did you
grasp at that, too?'
"Why, I missed it. Do you think ]
wanted to smash everything that was
in the mine?'"
When Charles finished his story he
was laughing more heartily than any.
one else in the crowd, and could not
be prevained upon to recall anything
more that had come from the lips OF
his famous financial father-San Fran
cisco Call.

Enthusiastic.

A wild see ne of religious frenzy was
Witnessed at a "Chrstian alliance camp
meeting near Boston the other day. Men
and women seemed bereft of their senses.
TO so high pitch were their feelings
worked that watches, diamonds, rings,
earrings and jewels of every description
were torn from the persons of their own
ers and flung with a shout of hallelujah
to the platform on which the eXhorter
stood. over $4,000 was contributed by
those in attendance. The jewelry when
picked up and put in a pile filled two
contribution boxes. Many who seemed
crazed with religion gave everything in
their possession, even offering to donate
their clothing. The money was raised
for missions.

The most lovely spot on Oahu is
Sans Souci. This favorite seaside
resort, which has been immortalized
by the pen OF Robert L. Stevenson,
who resided there for months, is
only four miles from Honolulu and
within easy reach of the tramcars.
The surroundings and bathing at
this famous resort are superior to
anything found in the Hawaiian
Islands. Cottages and board can
be obtained on easy terms. The
table set by the manager is better
than any offered here at other ho-
tells. For picnics, bathing parties
and outings the best accommodation
can be secured by giving notice to
the manager.
