Josiah the Claim Jumper.
BY RUFUS M. STEELE.

7 OSIAH GODBOLT was new to the
u Shasta hills. He was new to any
hills, and, of course, he was new to the
mines. He was new to everything
western, and new to almost everything
not relating directly or indirectly to
the swamp lands Of the Mississippi,
where boys grow so fast into human
saplings that by the time they are
stubbly of chin their legs are long
enough for them to stride away, or to
the locomotion of St Louis street car.
Godbolt had been conductor on
street car until that eventful day
when his car collided while he was en-
gagged in helping small girl with her
basket, and he was discharged. He
b ad had wages due him sufficient to
pay his fare to California, which
seemed the place most distant from
the scene of his yielding to a weak
ness. Hither he had come in a hurry.
But Josiah knew, or, to be precise, he
ALLOWED" that he wanted a copper
mine. AS he had no snug fortune with
which to buy one, his recourse was to
discover a new ledge and plaster his
notice of location upon it. These are
sidelights upon the trail along which
fate led Josiah to Pete Barclay.
Barclay was a tenderfoot-nearly
20 years before Josiah was born. Four
decades he had spent in getting into
such close fortune-hunting communion
with the "likely spots" of the Sierra
Nevadas and the Coast Range, that he
had really become part of the noun
tains. He was so gray and weathered,
and so perfectly attuned to the sur
roundings, that he could squat among
the little powders on Shasta hillside
and jack rabbit might hop over and
scratch its back against corner of
him without noting the difference.
Fortune had not always been mean to
him, and If he was forever at the ebb
1t was mainly because, like all chronic
prospectors, he knew a good deal more
about hunting for mineral than about
using it after he found it. Once, at
Cherokee, he took out nuggets as large
as buzzards' eggs; at Oak Bar he piped
down bank which washed 10000 In
ten days. and week later, in a gam
bling house-but that is not this story.
Josiah Godbolt. tired Of mucking at
the Iron mountain. and resolved to
make a find for himself, drew his sti-
pend and went to Redding. Pete Bar
clay. driven away from the high alti-
tudes of Coffee Creek by the flying
snow. was in town with the price of

What Was Lacking.

In the smoking compartment Of the
Montreal express the other day two
British tourists were talking with a
New York travelling man about their
impressions of Canada, from which
country they were returning evidently
after a long journey over it. Eyes"
one of them was saying, Canada is a
delightful place. The country is Won
derful, the people are charming and
hospitable to degree, the clubs are
ripping, and the Niagara Falls are all
my fancy painted them to be. And
when l get home 1 mean to tell every
one I know that they must really come
out and see it all. But, if you will al
low me to make one criticism, must
say there is one thing lacking. They
haven't a good bit of cheese in the
whole blooming place. Tit

GOOD SPIRITS.

Good spirits don't all come from Ken
lucky. Their main source is the liver
and all the fine spirits ever made in the
Blue Grass State could not remedy bad
liver or the hundred-and-one i'll effects it
produces. You can't have good spirits
and a bad liver at the same time. Your
liver must be in fine condition if you
would feel buoyant, happy and hopeful,
bright of eye, light of step, vigorous and
successful in your pursuits. You can put
your liver in fine condition by using
Green's August Flower-the greatest OF
all medicines for the liver and stomach
and certain cure for dyspepsia or in

Upon the strained gaze of Josiah
there burst two balls as of yellow fire.
They dazzled him even as his senses
told him what they must be. Such
eyes as those burning out of the dark
ness there into his own, Josiah Cod
bolt had never dreamed existed, and
he knew negro superstitions like
book The hellish eyes were growing
into the size of full moons, and they
seemed to be coming, coming
Silence, awful, ominous; then pis-
tol shot rang out. Two screams sue
ceeded almost on the instant. One
shrill cry from Josiah, who had fired,
the other from the spot where the
eyes had vanished, and the brush
cracked as with heavy body plunged
back into it.
When, just as daylight was chas-
ing away the last shadow, Pete Bar
clay stepped from the trail into the
clearing where he had left his part
ner, the spectacle which met him
caused him to stop and utter a char
acteristic exclamation. In heap upon
the ground by the tree was Josiah.
His face was white and drawn almost
past. recognition. His eyes were
bleared and teary. In both hands his
pistol was clutched, and it was cid
ready for instant use. Barclay moved
up to him and gently wrenched away
the weapon. What in the name of all
the ghosts has happened to you, Jo?"
he asked, with a tenderness of which
no one would have suspected him.
"Over there" whispered Josiah,
pointing.
Whats over there, the ghosts?"
"The half-breed," piped Josiah.
Lord Gawd l had to kill him" He
sank his head upon his knees.
Pete Barclay went over to where the
brush was beaten down, and peered
into the thicket. There, lifeless, lay
gaunt, ugly form. Josiah had shot
the panther squarely between the now
half-closed eyes.-San Francisco Argo-
naut.

MODEST NEEDS.

GIVE me a name, not great not bad;
Give me smile sincere and glad
A manner frank and free from care,
A large amount of saVoir-faire.
And all the beauty in the town
III envy not!
Give me a heart that's always true;
A spirit that can cause no pain,
A helpful word, thoughtful brain.
And all the riches in the world
I'd covet notl
Give me the strength to say: Il willr'
Give me love my life to fill,
Some little child to smile upon
Who'll do what good I've left undone.
And with the proudest in the land
I'd not exchange!
Give me the soul to feel ashamed
If for my fault another's blamed;
Let me for justice take a stand,
In friendship clasp my neighbours hand:
Then, at the closing of lifss dream,
I'll gladly die!
Give me thought when I am dead,
And sometimes say the words I've said:
A flower place upon my breast;
Forgive my faults. and all the rest,
And speak of me with charity!
IT'S all I ask!

This transaction leads many to be
lieve that II there is now a Eve years

Another statement Of interest Is,
that at the present time the top New
York price for chittim for delivery
the coming season is about 10 to II
cents, and that a small amount could
be contracted on that basis, which
would mean nine or ten cents in Cor

CHITIEM
PRICES
THIS YEAR

Chittim, and what its price will
be this season is a subject Of wide
conjecture now. Dealers figure on
it. peelers discuss it, and onlookers
wonder about It. It is said to be the
standard topic Of conversation over in
Alsea. It is almost a headquarters
for chittim, over there, Wade Malone
having bought 10000 pounds, or about
ten carloads of bark last season. The
amount represents only a part Of the
Alsea product, large quantities having
been hauled and sold to Monroe, and
Corvallis buyers. The average price
paid by Mr.. Malone, including the
low price of the earlier and fancy
figures Of the later season, was 81
cents, making the amount paid out
by him for the bark about SIT, 900. Mr..
Malone expects that as much bark
as was peeled last year will be avail
able in Alsea again this season.
II is generally believed that the
bark will never drop again to the low
figures OF former times Whether,
however, prices will soar again as
they did last year, is a question that
only the future can answer. No deal
er offers to contract at any figure,

year no peeler would be likely to con
tract II he could. Everything con
nected with the subject Of price is on.
lecture. It is said that there is enough
Of the bark in Eastern warehouses to
supply the worlds demand for Ave
years. Il is also related that when the
prices went skyward in the United
States last summer that large quanti-
ties Of the bark that had previously
been shipped from this country to
London were shipped to New York
and that immense profits we're real
ICED in the transaction, It is also
declared that a large San Francisco
firm which has been the chief Pacific
Coast operator in cascara In the past,
has purchased large areas Of chlttim
land in Clark county, Washington,
and with an army of employees is to
do its W peeling this season. All
these things are cited as signals that
show that sky prices are not likely TO
be in vogue again this season.
On the other hand, there are signs
that point in a different direction.
The well known Wilhelm firm at Mon
roe, which bought immense quaint
ties of bark at top figures in the latter
part Of last season closed out the re
mainder Of its holding a couple of
weeks ago at figures that are said to
have brought the firm out even II not
more than even On the seasons bust

body knows. They are placed by good
guessers at 16 cents. or more. The lot

Drank and chewed eoth.

Noah Ruby. who died last week In
a town poorhouse near New Bruins
wick, N. j., claimed to have been born
in North Carolina in 1872, which would
make him 1872 vars old at his death.
His age is as well authenticated APP
parently as that Of "old Parr" Of Eng
land, who claimed the age OF 1862 years.
This claim of Noah Ruby rests on
quite as solid ground for II has been
known that he was an inmate OF the
poorhouse for nearly fifty years, and
he was an old man when he went
there. He was born of an Indian
and a white mother, and
claimed TO have heard Washington
speak at a gathering in Norfolk, Va,
and to have served on the United
States frigate Constitution before the
war Of 1912. This remarkable case
of longevity, while confessing that
he had drunk all the whiskey he could
