The True Poker Flat.

In 1852 Poker Flat produced 100000
In gold bullion in single month and
celebrated the event with a triple hang
ing. Then came the public spasm Of
virtue which caused the John Oak
bursts and the "OutcaSts Of Poker Flat
to depart from thence and die of cold
and starvation on the snow bC'und road
to Sandy Bar. There are no Oak
hursts' nor Uncle Billys" in Poker
Flat today. and when the stranger
makes the slow descent and suddenly
by sharp turn in the trail comes upon
the famous camp he finds in that hud-
die of cabins little to remind him Of the
Poker Flat of 1852.
The famous slope presents almost a
picture of utter ruin. There are but
eight persons living in the old town,
| while hundred dead ones sleep in the
cemetery. Some of the graves are
marked with wooden headboardS. some
with stakes, but many have nothing
above them. Nearly all of them were
laid to rest without religious rites save
a Bible reading by old Charlie Pond,
who, though professional gambler,
was selected for the religious office
| owing to his excellent voice and ora
torical ability.
In 1853 and 1854 there We're 1000
souls in Poker Flat and II stores, ) ho.

houses. There is but one man left to-
day of that original company. He is an

sion at $50 each.-W. NJ. Clemens III

COACHING IN FAVOR.

In spite of the threatened extinction
of the horse through the introduction
of the automobile. the ancient and hon
cradle sport Of coaching is holding it's
own among those who have the time
and money to indulge in it. There
seems to be something tl.at makes

that underneath the fair tinted skin OF
their hands and wrists lay muscles pos

ribbons over the backs of four or even
more powerful steeds. Besides afford

or course coaching can be INDUCED
in only where there are good roads. and
therefore those interested in it are to

The paradise of coachers in America is
New York. Stretching to the north and
northeast of the eastern metropolis are
a number of splendid hard macadam
highways that are especially suited to
coaching. Up into Westchester county
to the pretty towns along the Hudson
is a favorite route. All along the east
ern bank of the river, amid beautiful
scenery, are located the summer homes
of many millionaires. while country
clubs abound Another well liked

BATTLES OF NATURE.
Unccnsing Struggles which End In
Survival of Eittest.


We read the tablets of long ago
which the geologst has dcciphered for
us. anu we find them an endless story
OF battles. The successful species
which occupy the great geological
horizons have come out OF great tribu-
lation. The trilobites and stone lilies
OF the Siluri:n period. the gigantic club
moss and hut9i sigillarians OF the coal
age. the enormous ummonites OF the
jurassic and chalk epochs, the mighty
elephants and ma jestic deer forms OF
the tertiary era are magnatcs of the
times and masterpieces Of the struggle.
They have been redeemed ut great
price even of II thousand species and
tens of thousands OF individuals who
fell short of the typical fitness and
were killed out. These magnatcs, each
in it's turn. were pioneers OF progress,
like the scouts of II great army and
were caught in Il physiological am
bush
The pedigree Of the horse In the most
recent past has been made out, traced
| shall we say. for a hundred thousand
| years before man came on the scene
! QOr Lord Kelvin asked the geOlOgiSt
to hurry UP aud not be too lavish with
time or we should have said 100000
years before mani. The tieetness, grace
and strength OF the horse are owing to
his ability to walk Oh one toe, to which
| have been correlated the wonderful
instincts by which he has become the
partner of man in his industries and
struggles. He has been derived In
almost Il strict graduation from the two
tocd, three tocd. four tocd and five
tOed ancestors which fOurishcd in the
ages which preceded man. Myriads OF
individuals and all the species and
varieties died out to make room for the
one toed selection to enable this favor
lite to occupy the ground unthwarted
by crossing or by recurrence to average
forms. lie was redeemed at Il great
price and has come through Il great
