ENTERTAINMENT FOR MAN
AND BEAST.

There are not many persons liv-
ing who recall these places and signs
in the far west 40 years ago, because
the new country which was opened
up in later times wiped out old GUS
toms and manners, whereas in New
and Old England the same customs
and manners still exist in many
places.
The landlord of the western tavern
was always a man of influence and
pretension. He usually wore high
hat, carried a cane and took snuff.
The latter was generally offered to
the weary traveller who halted for
the hour. In exchange for the latest
news from "down the river" the
landlord told the traveller something
of the next town and the people
whom the traveller was journeying to
see.
If the stage came to the tavern at
a late hour in the night, as it often
did, the driver called out his long
"hellow" until 1t awoke the help in
the tavern. This was always a
darky, who came out with a lighted
tallow candle in q tin lantern.
When the traveller left the stage
and entered the tavern the landlord
was on, hand to greet him, and II the
traveller was "inclined" the landlord
invariably produced q bottle Of ap
plsjack or peach brandy from the
sideboard. This was the landlords
cheer, and the guest could offer nc
insult greater than a proffer to pay
II there were any LADY travellers
they were shown to the room of thu
wife of the tavern keeper. who, in
stead of offering tea, ordered thu
maid to bring in hot rum, spiced.
After this hospitality the traveller
resumed their journey. The dark!
with the tin lantern stood in thu
doorway until the stage rumblet
away in the night, and then the tav
ern lights were out.
Some of these taverns stood on tn
river wharf.-the steamboat landing
II the stage arrived in the night tn
travellers were quickly informed. q
nearly as the landlord could reckon
about the time when the next packe
was due, bound up or down.
The tavern by the riverside in tn
western town 40 years ago wa
known to every boatman and trav
eler. What the tavern lacked in thos
modern conveniences now require
by travellers was made up for b
hospitality on the part Of the lane
lord and his wife, which. like tn
taverns themselves. long since pei
ished from that part Of the earth.
The names of some Of these wes'
ern taverns, a. recalled by the ma
who tells the story, were the o.
leans, the Oriental, the Raleigh, th
Travellers Rest and, most frequentl.
the Mansion house.

IN OLD-TIME CARDLAND.
Gambling in England Two Hum
dred Years Ago.

After the advent of the house OF
Hanover. the favorite games at court
were "quadrille," an improvement OF
"ombre," and commerce" The gains
and losses of the kings and queens
were as q rule restricted to 100
guineas. but on twelfth night it
was customary for thousands to
change hands, says Longman's Maga-
zine. On one occasion Lady Cowper, a
lady in waiting. refused, for the sake
of her children, to take part in the
game, as none sat down to the table
with less than 200. About the year
174O, a rage of "whisk," or whist, set
in, but at first it was considered too
wise a game for ladies to join in.
Hume, the historian, never went to
bed without his whist, and even the
great johnson regretted that he had
not learned to play cards. In 1742
"Horry" Walpole finds it absolutely
necessary to learn "whisk," shaving

rAvI4x r1xss m rnI WEST,


There were stage coaches and tav.
ern days in the western states 40
years ago. But while these still ex-
ist in some parts Of the country. and
in England, one would look in vain
to find either now in the states where
they used to be frequent and numer-
Gus, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Here and there 40 years ago the
traveller found men and women Of
dignity and stateliness who seemed
to belong to an older country. They
were people who stood upon the
heights of honor. A mans word was
his bond, and the stranger who
passed over the threshold of the
home far removed from what was
then the center Of population was
entitled to the confidence and protec-
ton of the owner until he proved
himself unworthy.
AS the new country filed up later
from immigration, and the popula-
ton became more diversified, the old
types gradually passed away. They
moved out into the greater west, and
were finally lost.
But to return to the times and
places when and where they lived
when Indiana and Missouri were
called western states. Pleasure
travel then was confined to steam
boats. When a man left the river
and travelled inland he went by stage

than an ordinary house, but before

The
Reporters Story
7 AM a newspaper man-that is, ! IN
,0ao8cNDoe1.to3o8.n:n

Il
employed on morning newspaper
to write news, not love stories.
In my assignments" meet many
men and hear many strange tales
some true, but the majority not. Bu,
surely the strangest of all is that l am
about to relate.
1t is customary for newspaper men
to buy almost every afternoon paper
in order to familiarize themselves with
events that have taken place in the
time intervening between the previous
issue of the morning paper on which
they are employed and the following
one. Not that this has anything to
do with the story-except that it
serves to introduce one of the char
acters. I always bought my paper
from one boy-"Jim" Taylor by name
and thus formed rather liking for
him, for he was always courteous
and dirty.
"Jim," I had learned from him, was
an orphan and lived at the Newsboys'
lodging house. He had no care beyond
earning enough to feed and clothe
himself, and, of course, sufficient
amount left over for ticket for ''de
gallery in the teayter," accompanied
by the traditional pint of peanuts.
In the two or three years I had
known Aim" he had never been abb
sent from his post of duty at the cor
nsr. But about two months ago he
was missing from his accustomed
"place of business" and although l
made inquiries, l could get no informa
tion concerning him beyond the fact
that his companions hadn't heard
narthin' of him." So, after pondering
as to whether the little fellow had
committed criminal act and had been
sent to some institution or had been
run over by some vehicle and was per
haps lying in hospital without rela
tives or friends to care as to the result
of his injuries. and further inquiries
proving fruitless. the name of Jim
passed temporarily from my mind.
A week ago. upon going to the ofic,
to get my assignment" for the day
! found that opposite my name on th'
book were these instructions: "Se,

The Gold Of the 'DeaA Rivsrs."
: Among the remarkable geological
features of California are the gravel
ly channels Of ancient streams,
known to miners as dead rivers,
which often contain gold in paying
quantities. The rivers ran generally
from north to south, and some have
left beds more than two miles in
width. Some Of them, after their wa
ters had disappeared, served as chan
nels for lava, which hardened over
and concealed the gold-bearing
gravel. Particular attention IL 4
present being paid to mining these
deposits. In prospecting them
"Inelon-seeds'' of gold, varying in
size from minute grains to particles
a quarter of an inch in diameter, are
found. The gold was brought down
by the vanished rivers from the noun
tain ledges.-Youth's Companion.

TUCSON IN OIL
The Prospector Has Quit Looking and
 Gone to Smelling.

Tucson. Ariz.. June S.-(Special corre- spondence of The Republican.)-The ancient and honorable pueblo is con- siderably excited over the oil question. It has been the chief topic of conver- sation about the streets and hotels for a considerable period. Many of the leading citizens have been organized into companies. and the search for oil has begun in earnest. Parties have been out in every direction and the dis covery q. the oleaginous is confidently predicted.
 About six distinct companies have been incorporated in this vicinity, and the mining p:ospector has suddenly dropped his pick and shovel and started of on a new kind of tramp. Instead of vigilantly looking for color he is smelling for oil If the discoveries of oil in the immediate future in Arizona shall be commensurate with the zeal and expectation of the numerous pros pectors we will soon have an abund- ance of fuel in Arizona, and our great resources will be rapidly developed.

 Yes, England did treat us shabbily then, but she promptly paid the Ala bama caim., and has made the "amende honorable" in many ways. She stood by us in the Spanish war firmly and unalterably. while every European nation was either against us. or was neutral. France. who assisted us in the revolution, was against us in the spanish war. Her entire press al- most without exception violently as- sailed us, and ridiculed our Yankee pretensions' as displayed in the Mon roe doctrine. This abuse continued until the patriotic American ladies or ganized and decided to withdraw their immense patronage from the mercan- tile emporiums of Paris. When this shot was aimed at the French pocket the French sentiment immediately changed.
