One Of the first men to reach San

gold was an Irishman named Finne-
gan, who had been very poor before he
struck it rich, and who consequently
was unfamiliar with many ordinary
usages of life of luxury.
''Oi say, yez kin bring me two dozen
eyesters," he said, airily, as he took a
seat in one of the finest restaurants in
Frisco.
The oysters were soon set before
him, and Finnegan, looking about him
for something to put on them, and
hardly knowing what the something
should be, spied a bottle of Tobasco
and proceeded to season the bivalves
not wisely but too well.
Impaling an oyster upon his fork, he
thrust it into his mouth, then leaped
TO his feet with terrific roar of pain
and began dancing about and yelling
like mailman.
