Two widows and . Salted Nine.
A good story is told about how two
prospectors had salted a mine In the
Galena district In order to rob q cou-
pie Of rich widows, which resulted In
the Aforesaid widows becoming much
wealthier.
The prospectors had spent their last
cent In digging q hole In the ground to
the extent Of 90 feet without striking
anything but yellow clay. But one Of
them knew Of two rich widows who
were Just spelling to have their money
sunk In q mine. Accordingly they
spent two nights In sailing their mine.
They hadn't sufficient money to buy
some paying dirt, but they stole this
from q neighboring mine and hauled
lot Of 1t over to dump into their mine.
When several tons Of this paying dirt"
had accumulated In the bottom Of their
mine, the widows were sent for, and
while one was talking about the in
creasing value of the district the other
was dumping out oil kinds Of lead and
zinc ore before their astonished eyes.
The widows bought q half interest in
that hole In the ground for $500. The
next day there was no more ore In the
shaft, and the fellows declared they
would dig no longer. Then the widows
bought the other half interest at total
cost Of $1,000, and the men hiked out
for Missouri. laughing in their sleeves.
But the women, blindly believing that
there must be more ore, continued
with the digging and at a depth Of ten
additional feet struck the richest vein
Of the whole belt, realizing $4,000 In
less than one years time.-Kansas City

A Gentle RebuISe.

In the center of popular coffee
house main room in Italy was a large
marble slab, which covered the pipes
that heated the place. and the tables
were arranged around this.
There was always fine music there in
the evening, made by IL man and his
wife. She played on a stringed instru-
ment, and after several selections. she
carried around n little filigree silver
basket. in which she collected coins
from the guests.
One night. as the music began, a man
seated at one of the tables held up a
gold coin. The woman smiled, and the
man dropped it on the marble slab that
covered the hot pipes. When she made
her collection, she went last for the
gold coin. but as she picked it up, she
gave a cry and dropped it again. for
1t had become heated on the slab. The
husband glared at the man. but did not
say a word.
The next evening, when the musi-
clans appeared. the woman's hand was
Dandaged, and she had some difficulty
in managing her instrument. When
she made her collection, she avoided
the man who had played the practical
joke on her, and night after night she
did the same thing. In vain he Of
fered her apologies. and other coins,
but she merely bowed and smiled in
passing him, and never allowed him to
give her the slightest donation.
