and made wealthy many Of them. for the
original intention of twenty poor men
who were seeking fortune was to buy a
mine called the Rensnek farm.
The prospeetors who examined this
farm found that it gave great promise
of rich mine, and they commissioned an
agent to buy it for $1,000. The agent
however. got mixed and made hopeless
blunder through not knowing the district
well. He bought another place called
Nersfontein for the prospectors, and the
money was paid over before the dismayed
gold seekers found they were let in for
a place they did not want.
They refused to accept the deal, but the
money had been paid and retraction was
impossible. Worst of all, some outside
people profited by the error and snapped
UP the coveted Rensnek-
Before going to law to repudiate the
transaction the little company had look

giving a trial to 1t they found it worth

ruined the company which had bought 1t,

THEIR LUNGS KEEP SOUND.
Butchers Are Immune From Con-

burcherS Are immune from Con-
Apmption in Any Form.
Butchers never die of consumption -
The big man with his sleeves rolled up
welding the cleaver at the block said this
as he threw a beefsteak on the scale.
1t sounded more like trade supersti-
ton than fact, but SO far as diilgent en-
quiry has been able to discover i is true,
although not generally known outside of
the meat chopping craft.
Butchers are no longer lived than men
in other walks of life. They are subjected
to all the other ills that human flesh is
heir to. but consumption they do not
have. So far as a reporter was able to
learn, not single case is on record CT
a butcher in this city being afflicted with
the incurable wasting of the lungs which
claims it's hundreds of thousands of vic
tins annually.
The fact is well known among butchers
and has been often the subject of their
comment, although none of them can give
a reason for it.
NO. said a man who has swung sides
and rounds in Washington market for the
last twenty years. 81 have had rheuma-
tism and typhoid fever and lots of other
things, but nothing has ever been out of
gear with my lungs and the sama is true
of every other butcher in this town. I
know nearly all of them and never heard
of one of them having consumption. They
don't drink blood or take any especially
good care of themselves either. I don't
know why 1t should be so. unless it's be-
cause the continual inhaling of an atmo-
sphere of fresh meat is Strengthening
