Bnce some time ago, when he COM

you make him blacken the family

He was stunned at the suggestion.
"My son blacken boots" he walled,
throwing up his hands. do you think
I would disgrace my own boy? l give
him 10 cents every morning to have
his shoes shined at the corner where

I reminded him that he was teaching
that boy to be an upstart and that he
was giving him $3650 year which he
stole from his friends. Blackening
shoes is splendid exercise. Many a

It because of some fool father like the

Two widows anG Sailed Mine.
good story Is told about how two
prospectors had salted mine in the
Galera district in order to rob cou-
PIE OF rich widows, which resulted in
the aforesaid widows becoming much
wealthicr
The prospectors had spent their last
cent In digging hole in the ground to
the extent of 60 feet without striking
anything but yellow clay. But one or
them knew of two rich widows who
were Just spelling to have their money
sunk In 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 u nelghboring mine and hauled a
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 ono was talking about the in
ereasing value of the district the other
was dumping out all kinds of lead and
zinc ore before their astonished eyes,
Tho widows bought half interest 10
that hole in the ground for S1,50O. 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 depth of ten
additional feet struck the richest, vein
Of the whole belt, realizing $4,000 in
