SHE BETRAYED HERSELF.
Dipped Her Spoon In the Milk Before
the Mush.

Dipped Her Spoon In the Milk Before
the Mush.
The woman mentioned in this little
story will be called Mrs Naughty, but
she is known in almost every commu-
nifty by other names. She is inclined to
do all she can TO make other people be-
lieve she is somebody and that she is
fitted for higher sphere than the ono
she is forced by adverse circumstances
to live in.
A short time ago Mrs. Naughty called
on neighbor and accepted an invitation
to stay to supper Mush and milk was
the principal supper dish, and Mrs.
Naughty declared with sundry ejacula-
tions that she had never eaten the de-
lightful compound. The steaming plat
ter of mush was set in the center of the
table and a bowl of milk placed before
Mrs. Naughty.
"Just help yourself. Mrs. Naughty, +"
remarked the hostess.
"Really, | do not know how to be-
gin, F." said Mrs. Naughty as she picked
up her spoon.
Mrs. Naughty made move, and one
of the children at the table leaned over
to her mother and whispered:
"She said she never ate mush and
milk, but she dipped her spoon in the
milk before she dipped it into the
mush.
That little movement gave Mrs.
Naughty away, for every lover Of mush
and milk knows that if the spoon is
first dipped into the milk the mush will
not stick to it.-Omaha World Herald.

DYING IN A DESERT.
william Joyce and His Five Children
Walked $50 Miles.


E. Adolph of Los Angeles, who has
returned from Mammoth Tank, a small
station on the Southern Pacific road 80
miles northwest of Yuma, reports that
l.. s. Putnam, agent of the Norton
Drake company, found a whole family
perishing on the desert few nights ago
and rescued them. The family consisted
of William Joyce of Prescott, A. T.,
and his five children, the eldest IL years
of age and the youngest years.
Joyce had tried to drive overland
from Prescott to Chino, Cal. His horses
died at Gila Bend, and the family tried
to walk across the desert. Their provi-
sions gave out, and when found the
whole six were on the verge of death.
Only the most careful nursing sue
ceeded in keeping them alive the first
night. They had walked $50 miles and
carried provisions and water on their
backs. Chicago Times Herald.

She vanished at the peer Of day,
Yet discern with clearer brow
A high indulgence in the blow,
Light in the storm that DER me broke.
A special kindness in the stroke,
A gentleness behind the law,
A sweetness following on the awe.

When as upon SONY favorite flower

A thrilling peace from overheadf

for roofs will last longest when made from

San Francisco, March 31.--A severe

causing people TO rush from their

earthquake was the most severe ever
experienced in this state. Buildings
were violently rocked and telephone
and telegraph circuits were broken. A
building on Clementaa street col
lapsed, killing six people.
Guests In downtown hotels and
boarding houses made rush for the
open air, and Market and Montgomery
streets 30 seconds after the earthquake
were lined with half-clad and wholly
frightened people. There were numer-
GUS fires caused by overturned lamps
II is reported al midnight that earth

We received $500 per month and board,
working for farmers, and The board was
the best we ever had-the beef and mutton
especially were excellent. The fine flavor is
owing TO the fine grasses which the cattle
and sheep feed upon. The people are very
hospitahle and treat their hired help with
much kindness.
The grain is much heavier than here,
wheat being 62 lbs. TO the bushel, Gate 4S
lbs and barley often So lbs.
Any man with good team and money
enough 10 buy provisions and seed for six
months can become rich there in five years
Many people who arrived there five years
ago with little or nothing are well Oft now
One man / met held his wheat from last
year and was offered $4,000 for this years
crop and what he had held over from last
year, and is holding il at $l.00 per bushel.
We are going back in the spring to work for
this same farmer until seeding, after which
we will homestead between seeding and
harvest We think we will settle on the
