shall first present the sketch of "old
lack Taylor" California miner of the
early days. Whether that was his real
name nobody knew. When he made his
advent into one of the struggling mining
camps his hair was already silvered; he
must have been then at least 30 years Of
age, No one knew anything OF his ante
eedents. In the excitement and free.
heartedness of those times, not many
questions were asked.
About him was an air of perfect con-
tentment. Besides his rapidly blanchinR
hair, there we're deep lines upon his face
an alphabet from which could be spelled
out stories OF past excitements and trials
but il rorrows were included the firm Lip
gave no sign, and the bright, black eyes
were ever kindly. He had the moods,
the gestures, and the dialect Of the from
tier. He liked wild game cooked before
a camp fire, and, In western parlance, he
could "punish heap OF whisky"
He was at home everywhere; in the
saloons ,hIs coming was always welcome
when he met lady on the street, no
matter whether young or old, fair or ugly
he always dofTed his hat, and the few
children of those early days lookedanpon
him as father, or an angel. He had a
CHEEKY, hearty, winning way,which drew
all hearts to him.
When hungry, he went where he pleas
ed and got food; when be needed cloth
co, they were forthcoming in any store
ne applied for them.
Three or four years before Old lacks
death courier announced to the people
of the place that short time previously,
out near Deep Hole, on the desert, 50
miles ava y man had been killed BY the
Indians. Tne news made very little Inn
preston upon the inhabitants, for such
tragedies were OF common occurrence.

We know we could carry the debt
We drawed up the papers an mortgaged the

An bought what we'd wanted to get.
An II isn't the money the enterprise cost
Whose memory rRnkles an stings,
But the brains we wore out an the time that

We agreed that economy was our main
chance;

A book that " as ruled OF to show at g ance
Each item of grain or expense.
We might have learnt dancin' or grammer,
or Greek,
Or to play on the mandolin strings
In the time we KEEP fggerin', week after

over debts an credits an things.
These business they're simple
at nrst,
But they're never jes' what you intend;
An there's no one seems able to tell you the
worst,
Or when youll arrive at the end.
It's no use to kick though 1t does seem a
shame,
Whose remembrance resentlully clings,
To pay half dollar for signin' your name
To debts an credits an things.
My friend. you kin bet when we git out @
debt
We viii never git In any more,
But the future has comforts. It's pleasant TO
let
Our thoughts seek that beautiful shore
Where there's gold In the street. An what
makes IL complete
Is the tact that your wanderin' wings,
wherever they lead you. won't cause you to
meet
With debts an credits an things.

There was another old fellow by the
name of Baxter in Amador county, CAL,
in the days Of 40, who worked in a mine
at % 90 3 day. He came there in the
fall and worked eight months. His
clothes were always poor. He lived In q
cabin by himself, and such miners as hap
pened In his cabin at meal time declared
their belief that lis food did not cost so
cents day. He never joined the miners
down town; was never known to treat
to as much as glass OF beer. He was
hated, cordially hated, by all, as he was
looked upon as miser so avarlcious that
he was denying himself the comforts of
life. He was the talk Of the mine, and
many were the scornful words which he
was made to bear and to know that they
were uttered at his expense. Still he was
quiet and resented nothing that was said,
and there was no dispute about his being
most capable and faithful miner. AT
last one morning as the daily shift were
waiting at the shaft.sto be lowered into
the mine Baxter appeared, and, after
begging the attention Of the men for
moment, said:
There Is the dead body of an old man
up In the cabin across from the trail. Ii
will cost $50 to bury it In decent coffin.
The undertaken will not trust me, but If
20 of you will put In 50 each [ will pay
you all when pay day comes.'
Then he was questioned, and it came
out at last that Baxter had found the old
man sick few days after he came to
work st the mine, and of his So 80 day
had spent $3 in food and medicine and
medical attendance upon the old man all
through the long winter, and had, n ore

the 21st birthday of Harry Steele, a

had been asked to present the young
man with a beautiful gold watch,
sent by his parents from Keystone.
DR.. Raymond made little presenta-
tion speech, remarking that it is always
well to be present when invited to the
presidents house, as one never knows
what may happen. Mr. Steele re-
sponded in a happy manner. The
watch is a gem, and Mr.. Steele is dis
playing it with pride, as it is re-
ward fer not using tobacco or liquor,
in accordance with promise rsade
eight years ago.

A Commendable Move.

There has heen considerable CON-
plant about the fact that the electric
lights have not been run very long
during the morning hours when they
are badly needed. The custom has
been to turn off the current at eight
o'clock and these dark days that is toe
early. After they go off business men
must rig up the best substitutes they
can find and that has necessitated the
putting j n of gas and electricity both.
This makes very heavy expense on
everybody and, as they feel, an un-
necessary one. We are glad to state
that the electric light company, see
ing this drawback, has begun to keep
the current on until nine O'Clock when
it is needed. This will please all who
use the lights and increase the popu-
larity OF the company.

Fenton Rice's aouse Damaged BY Fire.

Morgantown had the first fire of
the year on Thursday. The damage
done was slight but was greater
than it would have been had it been
in such shape that the firemen could
not get at the fire to fight it. Fen
ton Rice was the sufferer by the
blaze.
The alarm came just as the mass
meeting to consider tie glass house
matter had adjourned and the fire
men were on the ground quickly.
When first discovered it was thought
that the fire could be put out by the
bucket brigade and the effort was
made to fight it that way. The light
ers thought that they had put the
blaze out and had ceased their labors
but it broke out again. The alarm
was then given
Within few minutes after the
water was turned on the fire was put
out although 1t was very difficult to
get at the blaze The fire was in the
walls and between the two parts of
the house and accordingly was pro-
tected from the effects of the water
in great measure.
The fire started from a coal of fire
dropping Fl ON a CRATE in one of the
upstairs rooms. 1t fell on the fl, or
and burned hole through the floor.
Then it ran along under the floor
until it got into the wall and from
there it went to the corniee. The
whole wall was ON fire inside when
the tiremen began to fight it.
The los swas about seventy five
dollars with full insurance. The
greatest damage came from the wa
ter.
