Short and Sweet.

Perhaps one of the shortest court
ships was that of an eminent jurlst.
He was on his way to hold court in a
town, when he met a young woman
returning from market.
"How deep is the creek and what
did you get for your butter2' asked
the Judge.
up to the knee and ninepence, y
was the answer as the girl walked on.
The Judge pondered over the sensi-
BILE brevity of the reply, turned his
horse, rode back and overlook her.
Il liked your answer just now, he
said, "and l like you. | think you
would make a good wife. Will you
marry me?"
She looked him over and said,
ayes"
"Then get up behind me, and we
will ride to town and be married.
She did get up behind, and they
rode to the courthouse and were made
one. 1t isrecorded, that brief though
the courtship had been, the marriage
proved a pre-eminently happy one.

Biggest Tree on Earth.

What proves to be the hugest tr ee
yet found among the giant forest
throng of California, already famed
in song and story, has recently been
discovered in a wild, unfrequented
nook of the State. 1t was officially
measured for the first time on August
% by John Muir, the famous natural
list, discoverer and writer, who has
done so much to make known the
natural wonders of the Pacific slope
DR.. n. D. Kelley, of Fresno, a mem
Der of the celebrated Sierra club, was
Mr.. Muir's sole companion on the hunt
for the forest monster, the two travel
ing together through the woods and
sleeping in the open beside their
campfire at night.
The tree which thus suddenly goes
to the head of the list of CALIFORNIA; s
"big trees" measures 100 feet in cir
cumference, giving it diameter of 80
feet, surprising the giants General
Grant, in the General Grant National
Park, and General Sherman, in the
Sequoia National Park. The new
discovery is a Sequoia gigantea semper
virens-that's what the learned say.
For these untold centuries it has
reared its stately form in the region
men now call Fresno county-a hcti.
tious division of land that rough old
patriarchs of prehistoric forests know
nothing of-just back of Millwood,
three miles from Converse basin, ten
miles from the General Grant Nation
al Park.
1t is fortunately just within the line
of the United States forest reserve and
reigus over grove of other magnld-
cent examples of its kind, almost un-
known to fame. Itisa finer specimen
in every way. Mr.. Muir and Dr.
Kelley agree, than the great trees
which have so for carried off the
honors of hugeness. The fact that
this wonder of the world has gone so
long unmeasured and unsung speaks
for the rugged largeness of California
and the pathlessness even at this day
of some of it area.

Mr.. Nebeker Was Convinced.

An amusing story is told in the
Treasury of Hon. E, B. Nebeker, who
was treasurer under President Har-
rison. Mr.. Nebeker became greatly
alarmed over stories of the insecurity
of the vaults which held the vast
treasures for which he was response
bic, and one night determined to
satisfy himself that they were safely
guarded. de remained in his Office
until about midnight, then tiptoed
down stairs to where the great steel
chambers were located. Suddenly he
felt himself seized by the collar, ard,
looking up, saw two stalwart guards,
each of whom pressed an enormous re-
volver against his head. A whistle
sounded, and from every hole and
corner more guards appeared, each
heavily armed, Mr.. Nebeker indig-
nantly told who he was, but none Of
the guards believed him. He was
taken TO the main watch, where hap
PLY he was identified. Mr.. Nebeker
never felt any doubts thereafter. At
the present time the vaults are sur.
rounded by electric alarms. Any at
tempt to Otamper with the vaults would
set bells ringing all over the Treasury
Building, and would summon the 40
or more guards. Should the alarm
continue the police department of the
city would respond. aud then. if it
still continued, the marines at the
barracks and the cavalry at Fort Myer
would respond. Treasurer Roberts
says: can attempt to break into the
Treasury vaults can hardly be recon-
mended as profitable investment.

An October Party.
October gave a party ;

October gave party;
The leaves by hundreds came
The Ashes, Oaks and Naples,
And those Of every name.
The sunshine spread carpet,
And everything was grand.
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
The Chestnuts came in yellow,
The Oaks in crimson dressed;
The lovely Misses Maple
In scarlet looked their best.
And balanced all their partners,
And gayly futtered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
Now fallen Fl iom the sky.
Then, in the rustic hollows,
At "hide-and-seek" they played
The party closed at sundown,
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder;
They flew along the ground;
And then the party ended
In jolly hands around"
