AN OLD coy,

Want ter dos Tused ter do, be's l used

Amt no chicken as ter years-no, but what
of that?
Looks won't tell how fur she'll jump when

Rair's thnnin on my head, teeth are
gettin' skurce,
But my heart an soul, guess, amt mite
the worse
They're as young's they ever was, so there
amt no sin
In my wishin' could be jest boy ag'in.
When 1 woke this mornin', land, want
the airth sight!
Like a painted picter, all blue an silver
white,
Snow a-sparklin' everywhere, flashin' low
an high,
Like the stars had tumbled down from
the eveniFs sky,
Every tree and bush an twig on the field
or hill
Heaped with shnin' drmon' dust fresh
from Natur's mill
Histin' up the sash to let all the glory in,
"Gosh!" l seq. 1.-The worlds re-born-I'm
boy a'g'in."
Through the pastur' brush see little rab-
bit run,
Twinklin heels a-tossin up spangles to the
sun,
From the barnyard, high and shrill, come
ROSTERS crow,
Sayin: Wake up. lazy folks; time ter

From the neighbor's chimbly tops smoke

Like a ransomed sperit bound fer the

An as fur as feelin's go, boy was, guess,

An, to emphasize the fact, rheumatic took

So. I'll say. s 1 said before, seems to me

Odd Features Of BOudOir for "Sweet
Sixteen

SlXteen.
A charming room fitted up recently
by clever mother for her 16-year-old
daughter has several odd features. One
of these is an alcove where big BATH
tub, regiment of sponges, crash
towels and brushes are drawn up in
battle array. In one corner is gym
nastic apparatus and on the floor stand
pair of Indian clubs. This is the
health corner" In narrow gold
frame, hung near the dainty dressing
table, are the following "Rules for
Beauty" in fancifully illuminated text:
Beauty is only skin deep. Don't use
patent creams and washes.
'Never sleep on high pillow unless
you admire a double chin.
Breathe from the diaphragm, inhale
deeply, keep the mouth closed and hold
the chest we'll up, if you would secure a
high chest, broad shoulders and slim
waist.
walk from the hips, and bear in
mind that the American woman's
greatest sins are wobbling walk and
shrill voice.
Beauty does not come in day.
1.-The secret of beauty is good blood,
excellent digestion and clear con-
science"
These wise and quaint precepts were
laid down by the family physician, who

Thames Bridge Tolls,

Windsor bridge across the Thames
has just been freed from its twopenny
toll through the greed of the corpora
ton. This had an undoubted right to
collect tolls from prescription, as they
had been taken since the reign of Henry
VI. 1t asked parliament in 1874. and
again in 1919, for power to charge ad-
ditional tolls, and obtained it for linn
tied number of years. The privilege ex-
pired about ten years ago. but the cor
poration continued to collect money
till litigious Briton refused to pay,
thus bringing the matter to the atten.
ton of the courts.

Hardin'S Lucky Thirteen.
HOW THE OLD MAN STRUCK IT RICH
IN TWO-BIT GULCH.

TFERYBODY who knows the mining
camps of South Dakota knows Two
Bit Gulch. 1t is in the head of the
Black Hills, about 21s miles southeast
of Deadwood. Near it are mines that
have made that country famous and
their owners rich beyond the telling.
Two and half miles west of the Gulch
is the Homestead, the richest gold mine
In the world. About the same distance
to the south of it are the Wasp, Two
Bear and Golden Crest mines, and a
little more than three miles to the north
are the Polo Creek mines. Each of
these mines has its story, told so often
by the argonauts of the Hills that the
tales have become part of history's me-
mortal of the gold fields.
In all the fact and fiction of Ameri-
can mining comps, however, there is
nothing more romantic than the history
OF Two-Blt 'Gulch. And there is no
better illustration of what tenaciously
sticking to one thing will do for man
than is to be found in the life of old
jim Hardin, who is as much a part of
Two-Bt asSTwo-Bit is part of the
Eiack Hills. The history of the Gulch
aud the man shows, moreover, that 13
is not always a hoodoo. Had it not
been for the wonderful happenings in
the Gulch during the past few months,
little, perchance, would have been
known of Two-Bit's history or of the
history of Hardin, who for 20 years has
seen miners stake out claims near his
own, only to abandon them for other
and richer ones, leaving the pioneer of
the Gulch undisturbed in his faith that
If he waited long enough he would find
riches where he and others had all but
starved. Very few know the story even
new, for those who know it best are
dlslnclined to say much about it, and
II now finds its way into print for the
first time.
twenty years ago, when the news
OF rich finds of gold were attracting
men to the Black Hills, James d. Hardin
followed the trail that others had beat

he had not concluded hastily to fol-
low the fortunes of miner, and when
he did start out, therefore, he burned
a! his bridges behind him. He was not
young man then, and he had wife

with him. Once in the hills, Hardin

they resolved to go ahead, come what

That was in the early part of the pres
ent.year. Soon after that the machinery
necessary to carry on quartz mimi s
was ordered and shipped to TwoBit.
! When the first machinery arrived old
mai Hardin nearly did go crazy with
| joy. That for which he had waited and
worked and stuck to the Gulch all
through the years was about to become
| fact instead of an old mans dream.
When the machinery was all on the
| spot, the question to be determined
was where the first shaft should be
sunk. Old Jim knew, he said, exactly
where to begin, but before he would
| tell he wanted to have look at every
man who was to engage in the work.
When asked what that was for, he said:
1--WE stood guard over this property
for 20 years. Men have come and gone,
but I've stayed on, and now that some
things going to happen, want to
know that everybody around here is or
the square. l can tell the men want
| as soon as see them"
Accordingly all the miners and all
the bosses had to be inspected by Old
jim. AH but two passed muster, and
they had been employed to superintend
parts of the work. The old man would
not have them under any consider
alton, and two others of his own
selection. were substituted. The wis
| dom of his judgment may have been
proved by the fact that one of these
! cast-offs is now in western peniten-
tiary serving term for robbery.
When the mining crew was finally Sc
ected Old Man Hardin indicated the
place where the work was to be begun
and the first shaft was sunk on April 13a,
1897. Some one recalled that work had
been begun on the thirteenth of the
usual luck would follow the develop
ment of the mine. To this Hardin's only
reply was:
There never was fine field of corn
that crows didn't croak over. Never
mind the day of the month. Two-Bit
teen yet"
Two months later, on June 13, "pea-
nut" rock was struck and the first pos
itive indication of ore was found. On
September 13 the following dispatch
was sent by James D. Hardin, Jr., to
Mr.. Delaney in Chicago:
Rich ore struck. Assay, 81 to ton.
Vein now more than 20 feet thick"
On October 13 samples of the ore
taken from the mine were sent to Tor
rey & Eaton, assayers and metallur-
gists, of Sterling, N. j., whose New
York office is at "a Cortlandt street
Two days later they sent back the re.
suit of their assay, as follows:
sample of ore marked No. 1 pyrites,
contains $50 ounces of gold, which as
sayed $31 per ton. OF silver there was
trace"
Two-Bit Gulch is no longer despised
by the miners of the Black Hills. Two
of those who left their claims there
years ago for others are no richer to-
day than they were then. The man who
stuck there is a millionaire now, and
his holdings could not be purchased
for love or money. He has already pai!
back those who advanced him the mon
ey to develop his properties, and
Lucky Thirteen" as the mine is
called, is yielding up its wealth to make
easy the last years of old Jim Hardin's
journey down the slope.-N. Y. Sun.

Tho s,rtA Il the .e.este," Nov york.

With the dawn of the new year the
"Greater" New York is ushered into the
world a full grown giant. The problem
of municipal government is to be put to
the supremest test. Within its limits is
contained a population equal to that of
thirteen of our our sovereign states at
at our last census, and as numerous as
that Of the original thirteen states. Pro-
visions for the life and health of. this vast
multitude of all nations and chimes is an
unsolved enigma. Thousands of suffer-
erers in New York and elsewhere are
wrested from the grasp of that agonizing
complaint, rheumatism, by the timely
use Of Hostetter'sStomach Bitters, which
is a preventative of malaria and kidney
complaint, and a curative of liver com.
plant, constipation and nervousness.

1t cost ,t5' the he county $4,000. The old
bridge, has. been taken to Green river
and is known al; the Fisher bridge. The
expense Of moving, etc, was $3.50.
Thus it will be seer that the county
has three new bridges and two old bridges
placed on new sites, all at an expense
of $7,785. .,
Some one has asked why were these
bridges built?* The people had forded
these rivers for many years and why
could they not continue to do SO? The
commissioners had been repeatedly pc.
titioned to erect bridges in different
parts of the COUNTY, and they decided to
take an expression of the people on the
proposition of building. This was done
at the last general election, and a ma
jority of the voters expressed themselves
in favor Of the proposition. Those who
have taken the. pains to look into the
matter are satisfied that the county has
good value for the money expended.

Wolf Certificate Levy insufficient.

Speaking Of the state wolf bounty levy,
the Bismarck Tribune has this to say: 1t
is probable that the amount of money
collected by the state for this purpose
will be insufficient to pay all of the certi-
fcates this yearN The total amount that
will be raised BY the levy of tax is only
about $4,000, and while it is not def
nitely known how many of the certificates
have been issued, it is believed it will
run from $4,000 to $4,000.
