original date seed was planted and the tree
grew where the Temple of Mecca now stands.

The Norfolk Dramatic Club.
 Norfolk has probably the best anna teur dramatic association in the state and this year the club have surpassed all previous efforts. The club has been drilled this season by Mir W. W. Bittner, a professional, who has rehearsed them on far more difficult play than they formerly attempted. viz: Queens Evidence" very strong English drama. The people Tn the cast were all first class and gave splendid renditions of the play in the different towns they played. Miss Matte Stevens was ex- oeptlonally good as the blind woman, and Miss Shea also played the emotion ale role finely. Miss Mary O'Connor did splendidly in the part of pretty. romantic young lady; and little Miss Cecile Shea as Arthur Sidney was as natural little boy as her little brother could have been and she played her part A I. Among the gentlemen there is no better actor than Wm. O'Connor in his part of the old baronet. Harry Stevens played the lead very creditably; and MT Delano as the villain played the part so we'll that he was heartily disliked by the audience. MT Cliff Perkins was very good in the manly young magistrate, and D. L.. Scoville as old Joe gave a good character representation. Bittner, as the Jew, was of course all right
 The club have played the following dates: Canaan May 24, Winsted 27th. Norfolk 28th, Winsted June l. closing last night at Norfolk. June 9th. We hope to see them next season.

FAIR AND HIS WoRkMEN.

The Millionaire Miners Free and Easy

 Senator Fair was rarely known to dis charge miner. A parent could not have been kinder to them. Smoking was forbidden in the mines. Fair had a free and easy way of dropping down the shafts at unexpected hours and making himself agreeable. One night hs smelled tobacco smoke in orosscut Smiling and paternal, the senator seated himself Cn chunk of ore and chatted with his boys Dear me-" he said presently, tits really a treat to get down here among ye an away from all the business bothors on the surface. Dye know, I'd list like to have a smokef Do any O you chaps happen to have pipe wi you?"

 A body of rich ore was struck in 8 drift. and speculative reasons made it necessary to hide the news from the public for few daya The senator, in his flannel shirt and oilskin hat, sai down with the resting miners in the drift, and picking piece of rock from [ nacSiny roraarkod.
 That's pretty good stuff. Don't you think so. boys?"
 There was a murmur of respectful as sent from 0 few.

 Miner Johnson, who was acquainted with Fairs ways, examined the rock critically, shook his head and said il looked barren to him. Several others did the same. Miner Murphy. comparative tenderfoot, saw an opportunity to dis tinguish himself. "That rock, sir, will go all the way from $1 90 to $500 a ton. '
 "Ah, murmured the senator admir- ingly, you're miner. Murphy. Yor understand your business Then to ths superintendent in the office presently Brown. discharge Murphy from tha drift. He knows too much. "-Chicagt Inter Ocean.

A Ghastly Find.

While making excavations near his new house last Monday, Salmon Bar low unearthed two human skeletons. One skeleton is that of Q medium sized person and the other is much larger. The skulls are both we'll formed and we'll developed and appear to us to be skulls of white persons. The bones are much discolored. as though they had lain in the ground many years, but the skeletons were pretty we'll preserved and complete, with the exception of some of the very smallest bones, which were misIing. One of tho skeletons when found was lying on its side with the legs doubled up, and the other wss lying face down with one hand on the head. The nature of the soil is a dry gravel in which bones would be likely to be preserved a long time, probably 100 years. The skeletons were little more than foot below the surface.
 Some think them the bones of per- sons who were killed in some fight be- tween whites and Indians, and others that they are the bones of small pox victims, who in old times were buried quite unceremoniously.
