The Poor Old Lady Was Dea.1

And then there is my side partner,
Andy Lucas-he is likewise also n Of
them quaint and precurious kind OF
men. He is a right tolerable good

that I galley don't think Andy knows

Oncsts--e a time he and Elcv
Scroggins and Andy Lucas went Up to
round about there till the mex Sun
day. To the general wonderment OF
me and Blew Andy went TO church
three times in three different places
that day-mornin, evenin AMI night.
And from the way he tells it, it we':Id
seem like he heard the same preacher
preach the same sermont every time.
which he took his text from along
there in the good Book where you read
about Simon Peters wjfc's mother be-
in sick abed with a fever.
On our return back home the next
day W. took a boz and come down to
the river. 1t also come to pass that
the same big preacher which Andy Lu-
cas- had beard preach the same ger
mont at three different places the day
before, was leavin town on the same
boat. About the time the vote was
fxin to pull of,t there was a tremen.

"What in creation are they ringin

to the general crowd.

funeral for Simon Peters wife's

and innocent a you please. II heard
three times yesterday that she was

time no doubt the poor old lady must

Over the Last Ditch.

Old mar Silas Gillum-Uncle Saas,
as most everybody was wont to call him
is dead and gone 10Y but how u
man that had some quaint and pc
curious ways of his own. In a gem
eral way he was a mighty good man.
good ne;ghbor and Il good citizen. He
had come down from a long line OF
God-fearin, debt-payin, dram-drinkln,
democratic people. He had lived and
moved and had his washin done in the
same settlement somethin better than
so years, and no man, livin or dead,
ever had anything serious to say
touchin Uncle Silas, eNceptin that he
was ruther prccurious and dead sot on
his ways.
But there was one particlar pint in
that good old mans life which l put
in to tell you about Every year thu
Lord sent for more than GO years Uncle
Silas had dug ii ditch and cleared up II
new ground. That was always the
first thing with him right after Christ
mas. They tell me that when he was
young and in his prime he use to some
times pitch in and clear up whole acres
of land, and maybe dig a ditch half a
mile long at one spell. But in his old
days he got so he would white his
work down considerable. Sometimes
lie would take in just a little skirt of
new ground and dig a little ditch some
where's about the place. He always had
more open land than he needed or the
farm, you understand. But that was
only one of them pecurious ways that
Uncle Silas had. He had went on clear
in a little and ditchin a little every yea:
for sixty odd years, and consequential
after Christmas he use to say he never
could feel plum natural and right till
he tended to his reglar business.
Two or three weeks ago it so came to
las that I went by the Gillum place,
and 1 took notice that Uncle Silas was
still dom business at the old stand.
Down in the woods paster he had
cleared up a little new ground not
much bigger than a garden spot, and
out in the orchard he had dug a
little ditch to dreene the water into the
big road.
1t wouldn't be no ways strange to me
if that good old man has made his last
clearin and dug his last ditch, says
to myself as I rid on towards home.
And then about the next news we got
from Uncle Silas a funeral was goin
on over to his house. He had crossed
over the last ditch and went to the
other land of light and sunshine and
flowers.

Two Dollars for a Fly,

Andy Lucas never did wade in very

he has told me a heap of things "jest

come durn nigh gittin forever weancd
off from tendin church." says Andy to
me, in tellin of the story 1T was in the
deat and burden of summer time and
She weather was scandlous hot. A big
attracted meetin was goin on over at
Bark Log, and on Sunday I climbed
into my storebought clothes and went
0 church with Miss Pinky Ann New
ton. Well, Miss Pnky she was dressed
clean out of sight that day, and | was
putin on a whole passle of dog my.
self. After the sermont the preacher
he called for money.
"All them that will give five dollars
for the good work raise up your hands,
a v he, and he pulled three or four Of
the amen corner brethren to that ex.
tent.
"Now, all of them that are willin to
put two dollars out at interest on tho
Lords side, please raise your hands,"
says he.
"Now, mind you, Rufe, me and Miss
Pinky Ann had waded in tolerable clost
to the amen corner in orderment to see
and be seen. And about that time a
blamed old fly lit on my nose and
tickled SO I couldn't stand it. Somethin
jest naturally had to be did, and when
I raised my hand to bresh off the fly the
preacher thanked the Lord and slapped
me down for two.dollars.
"And do you know, Rufe, he sized my
pile to a mats heel? Ihad two dollars,
smooth and even, in halves and quar-.
tiers, and / had put it down there in my
tanks where it would rattle as I walked,
and by gatlins he cleaned me up. You
know good and well I didn't have no
money to put out at interest, but there
I was, weedin of a wide roy with Miss
Pinky Ann, and everybody lookin at us,
and / couldn't see no way to snake out.
So I went down into my pocket, rich
and reckless like, and settled up like n
man, which at the same time it was like
payin taxes or sheddin eye teeth.
H~enceforwards after that I have al
ways took a back seat in church, where

SOUP FROM NATURES CALDROn
Spring Twelve Hundrc Feet Deep Which
Tastes ii Chicken Broth.

Spring Twelve Hundred Feet Deep Which
Tastes Like Chicken Broth.
The free soup houses might have
been dispensed with during the hard
times if the people Of Nevada had only
put up barrels of the chicken soup
that bubbles from the foothills Of the
Sierra Nevadas in Elko county, Neva-
da, and had dispatched it to the poor
i'll our great cities.
Incredible as it may seem, it is never
tlleless a fact soup is a natural prod
act; and l have often satisfied my hun
ger from this boiling hot sprirg.
which, judging by the palate, is simply
natures hot soup tureen.
The pool, scarcely 100 yards in diam
etcr. lies just off the stage road among
the foothills of the Sierra Nevada
mountains. The traveller comes upon
1T just after crossing the toll bridge
over the Humboldt river, which PUSHES
like a cataract through the Humboldt
valley far below, making Chicken
Soup spring seem rather insignificant
but in reality this wonderful little
body of water has been sounded to the
depth of 1900 feet, while the turbulent
waters bt .ow are shallow in compar..
son.
Tie south sik of the pool is deepest,
and seems to be the source from which
the peculiar solution flows, for the bub.
bling, boiling water on that side will
cook a goose egg in two minutes. 1t is
a common sight to see tourists wend.
ing their way with bags of crackerf
ind cups in their hands.
The neighboring roadbed is ballastea
ON one side by what appears to be +
covering of hardened lime, but it is in
reality pure crushed lava of unmistak"
ably volcanic origin, for lying in close
proximity are evidences OF volcanic
e%ruptions.
The pool has been dragged many
times, but nothing has ever been taken
from it's depths but cedar. Cedar trees
once abounded in this locality, and the
bark, which bears marks of consider
able age, was probably thrown in by
the Indians while building their RATS
and canoes.
, This wonderful freak, lying about
5h miles from the rough little mining
town Of Elko, is never visited by the in
habitants unless they are passing that
way and feel hungry. The miners and
the rest of the matter-of-fact popula-
lion have long ceased to wonder at ma
lures Partially, and accept the exist
cnce of this boiling soup'caldron as q
convenient fact. Whether it is due to
the mineral properties of the soil Or
to the close proxility of lava beds
Or is itself a volcano in a mid state OF
aqueous eruption l know not. But
there it is, and anyone who will come
10 Elko can easily find the spring and
sample the soup to c~orroborate my
