led TO believe that man s life was
not worth a cent III the mining coun-
try; that the men usually amused
themselves between the acts by shoot

went lovely until the finish of the
first act, when burly miner, who
was seated on the back of a bench,
accidentally discharged his six shoot

making an immense hit in his part.
Baker, becoming frightened, took this
as his cue for disappearing. When
the next act was called no one could
find head nor hair of Baker. After

s.Dead Hand, of the Rich Father.

The dead hand of the rich father is
still apt to keep a firm hold of the sur
viving daughter. as appears from the
will of the late r. +. Crawshay, the
wealthy Cyfarthfa ironmaster, who
provided that if any of his daughters
married any but an English subject or
an American citizen her share of his
fortune of 100000 should be divided
among her brothers and sisters. Such
conditions, however, are hardly more
stringent than those imposed by an
Irish judge, Sir Jerome Alexander, in
the reign of Charles Il. on his daughter
Elizabeth, for she was to forfeit all the
great estates he bequeathed her in the
event of her marrying ANY lord of Ire
land or any archbishop, bishop, prelate,
baronet, knight, esquire or gentleman
that had come of Irish extraction or
been born and bred in Ireland. Lon
