Mrs. Williams thought so, too. Some,
thing Of her girlish spirit suddenly re-
yived, and it bore fruit that evening
in an exploit which win not soon be
forgotten in that part Of the state.
The weather was still very cold.
Snow lay on the ground, and the two
feet or mor Of ice on the lake had not
as yet broken up, or thawed percep-
tibly. just across the lake from Links
Mills, a crew Of loggers with their
teams were brewing spruce logs. Al
sunset they were not a little surprised
to e the minister's wife approaching
on the ice. Her errand was soon made
known. She wished to hire them to
draw the new parsonage to Marston,
and she wanted to have the job done
before six o'clock on the following
morniEgl
The foreman of the crew laughed,
and returned an evasive answer. Find
ing that the men could not be induced
to attempt such a queer and doubtful
job, merely for hire, Mrs. Williams
then told the whole story, and appealed
to them to help her through with her
project. This appeal put a different
complexion on the affair. 1t tfckIed
the humoF and, no doubt, touched the
hearts of the Iumbermen.
Wen do it, ma'am!" exclaimed the
foreman grinning broadly. 'You get
your crocSery down of'n the shelves
and your stovepipe cool. Wen be over
by nine or ten, and fetch chains and
skids and a couple of logs for shoes to
haul it on.''

should ask the maitre d'hotel about the
American woman who spoke French with
the aid of a dictionary. Although there was
no need for it, as they all spoke English, she
persisted in firing off Ollendorfan French at
the walters every moment. One sad-eyed
knight of the apron came down one morning
and asked for leave of absence and the
maitre d'hotel himself went up to solve the
mystery. After a violent TRADE against the
inciVility of the gareon she declared that
his French was so frayed out at the edges
that he did not understand what "a bottle

GREAT BODY OF ORE.
The Greatest Discovery in Gras
Valley for Years.

The most important discovery in
Grass Valley during the past ten years
was made at the Coe mine on Sunday
evening last, 1t was the uncovering oil
an immense ledge over four feet in
width In virgin ground, Of solid forma7
ton. with gold sprinkled all over the
outer edges Of 1t Of great richness.
The ore Is Identical in character with
that OF the famous Eureka Idaho
Maryland vein. and there is no room
for questioning that a mine as great as
either Of these has been discovered in
the Coe. The specimens submitted
TO miners who work in these mines
elected this opinion.
Superintendent Turner had just fin
ished running thorough a crossing In the
500 stope and put In a blast. little
thinking 1t would expose a ledge OF
such great value. although he had
confidence that somewhere there lay
hidden a splendid body Of ore The
main ledge Is about three feet in size.
the rich part laying tn seams eight
inches in width on either side of It, the
ledge being found on the footwall.
The parties who formerly worked
the Coe within a foot Of this
handsome ledge, and the blast set off
opened up the old works. The same
ledge wa found In the 400 level, but
It has not been developed on that level
and its value has not yet been seer
tanned. The shaft Is down 700 feet.
and when the 500 and 700 drifts are
extended, the ledge Is certain to be
found. That 1t will continued down
as great depth Is obtained is sure, as
that is the history of every mine in
Grass Valley.-Union.

We publish an advertisement of Kedol
Dyspepsia Cure in our columns this issue,
and wish to say to our readers that we
believe this preparation is worthy Of
trial by any person suffering from that
agonizing disease. We honestly believe
it will do you all the manufacturers
claim for it. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is
prepared by the wellknown and reliable
firm of e. G. Dewitt 6 Co., Chicago, and
from our long experience in business
sense with that firm as advertisers, We
feel safe in saying, that they would not
place on the market preparation for
the cure of dyspepsia unless they had
remedy of the highest merit and con-
scientiously believed it would cure that
almost universal complaint. We further
add that il this preparation Is equal TO
the other well known remedies made by
them, viz: De Wits Little Early Risers,
DeWittsI Witch Hazel Salve and One
Minute Cough Cure, it will speedily win
it's way into public favor. We cheerfully
and heartily give our public endorsement
to this concern, and the reliability of the
goods they manufacture, which latter
has been largely the means of their sue
cess; and In writing this voluntary en-
dorsement on our part, we feel that we
are simply performing duty that we
owe our readers.

both of lessening the difficulty OF obtain

+ ENUMERAToRs.
Daring the month of June, 1900, the
i farmers Of this state will be visited by
the census enumeraeors. The schedule
OF questions which the enumerator is

some extent in advance. The following
explanation liz therefore promulgated by
| Census Supervisor Eddy to forestsll and
obviate the d dfflculties that may arise be-
tween the questioner and the questioned,
and it is earnestly hoped that every farm
| owner and manager who chances upon
| this article will read it carefully and
make some preparation TO facilitate the
| work Of the bureau. To begin with, we
can eliminate the few questions pertain

ties, telegraph and telephone poles, ma
terial for barrels ond other forest pro-
