FOR HEALTH AND GOLD.

just a word or two about pros
pecting. Prospecting is a bon
ANA in the shape of health, if
not in the golden treasure. The
prospector is the leader in all the
great mines discovered in the
history of the world.
With the arrival of spring, the
annual season for prospecting,
the sturdy prospector is looking
over and preparing his outfit to
have it in readiness for his trip
to the mountains to discover the
hidden treasures which lie silent
in the earth. He is lured on by
fond hopes and dreams, and
nothing can stop him. Austria
las burning sands and Alaska's
drifting SHOWS are all alike to
the seeker after gold. Prospect
ing is a pleasure as well as an
art. Get out and prospect awhile
taste the genuine freedom of
the mountaineer; breathe Nat-
ure's pure ozone of the outer
world; roll up in blanket and
sleep next to the earth; drink
pure mountain dew and black
coffee, and eat baked bread in a
frying pan. 1t will do any man
good, whether he strikes a bon
ANA in the nature of golden
treasure or not, for he is sure to
receive natures tan of health.
Prospecting, like many other
phases of gold getting is an art;
and, to be proficient it, requires
considerable experience. How
ever, the old time prospector
will tell you a fool can find
ledge where the wisest man of
the pan and rocker failed" Gold
is where you find it and does not
matter very much who looks for
it.
Now, my prospector friends,
Idaho's beautiful mountains have
millions of hidden wealth wait
ing for you. Get out and rustic;
you will find it.-Weiser Signal.

the famous surgeon Velpeau telling number of
years ago Of a similar instance which came under
his notice. He visited one day at his house at
Paris during the consultation hour by a marquis
bearing one OF the best known names Of the Fau-
bourg St. German, colossaily rich but renowned
for his closeness in money matters. After having
diagnosed the case, Velpeau informed the marquis
that an operation not only necessary, but
urgent, and in response inquiry added that 1t
would cost 1900 francs at which the nobleman
made wry face.
About a month later Velpeau while making his
daily rounds in the great hospital de la Charlie,
had his attention attracted by face that seemed
familiar. In answer TO his inquiry It stated
that the patient was footmap OF noSleman in
the Faubourg st. German, story which was ap-

man, and by the livery which hung the hook be-
side his cot. On examining the sick the sur

tlcular the somewhat unusual one for which the
marquis had consulted him some weeks previously.
