there were any queens buried in this

an outlying place as this.
No more there amt as knows on, =
replied the old fellow, scarcely looking
up from his work.
"WelI, then in that case.' queried
the still surprised tourist how comes
it that the names of Several well
known British queens are to be read
on that stone yonder?.
"Ah, + see now!' quoth the old grave
digger as he raised himself up and
glanced for moment in the direction
referred to. Lots of your sort make

Thin Lips Better Than Thick.

In order to articulate well one must
be able to move the lips with the great
est facility. A person with thick lips
cannot move them quickly; there is too
much Of them, and the muscles which
move them are clogged and have no
fair chance of performing their work.
Thin lips are easily worked, so as to
allow the mouth to be quite free for
the emission of the sounds that make
words, and consequently the possessor
Of them can speak huently. A mustache
and beard which covers the under
lip to the mouth are both a hindrance
to clear speaking. They impede the
articulation in the same way as thick
lips, and the words get partly lost.

The story of the Rise and baH OF q

Sandy Bowers was teamster, his
wife d buxom and not uncomely Scotch
woman who took in washing and kept
a miners boarding house. 1t was in
the early days of Virginia City. before
men had grasped the full value of the
discovery. and the teamster, in COM
pany with others of his kind, came
into possession of several hundred feet
on the lode at Gold Hill.
His claim became one of the bonan-
zas of the region, and Sandy found
himself richer than he had ever thought
any one could be. Neither he nor his
wife ever rose to the level Of their for
tune. They remained the teamster and
the washerwoman to the end There
is story that neither could read nor
write. After giving an entertainment
at the International hotel such as that
hostelry of many grandeurs had never

two years.
When they came back they were still
the teamster and the washerwoman.
Europe had added no veneer But the
money was still in plenty. Money to
throw to the birds, as the old man
was wont to say Nevada was more to
their taste than anywhere else, 81 they
elected 10 remain there. and that
strange monument Of wealth. which IS
known all through Nevada and Cali

built on the shore of Washoe lake.
The site was one of extraordinary
beauty, with the wall of snow capped
Sierra behind it, the sapphire sweep of

sidered in its construction 1t was

getting old-settled and dispensed a
lavish hospitality. Here an adopted

named Persia died. Here. too, later on

hard. The shaved side of his face

lathered other side.

face still lathered, he loped down the
street.
