Feels like snow. Juno offered to bet
an obllus and half that I would lay
down on this journal business before
the month was up. This doesn't look

Three hundred stone huts shelter
800 mills used in pulverizing the ore;
Immense cisterns once caught the
scanty water supply from the upper
slopes; and near them stand the slop-
ing tables on which pulverized ore was
washed. Records show that these
mines We're worked with little inter
ruption for twenty centuries by the
Egyptians, and there is no means of
knowing how long they were worked
by the Nubians before them.
In the Inscriptions of the New EN-
pire various kinds or grades of gold
are mentioned; and in one of the Tell
el-Amarna letters, written during the
eighteenth dynasty, the king of Baby
lon accuses Amenophis III. of Egypt of
sending him mass Of base metal for
gold. He says: The twenty minas
OF gold you sent me contained, when
melted down, only five minas of pure
gold" So that the gold brick even
then was not unknown.

sion OF Requisite Qualities.
Some years ago, when the West was
wilder than it is to-day, a young man,
since grown rich and now famous as
a fnancier and capitalist, was regu-
lar boarder at a hotel in a frontier
town. He and number of his
friends were wont, to resort every
evening to the smoking room of the
hotel, which they used as a sort of
club, and their wants were attended to
by fair waitress who may be called
Miss White.
She was nice, quiet girl, and at
tended to the wants of her patrons
with regularity and promptitude.
One evening after she had retired
for the night the landlord informed
the company that this was the last
time she would wait upon them, as she
was going to be married next day.
When the landlord had gone out jim
ME Hughes, the young man referred
to, got up and said he thought it only
right that they should show their ap-
probation of her services by making
her a little present on this suspicious
occasion.
He took a sheet of paper, and
wrote his name down for 5000 and
passed it around. The girl was popu-
lar and the idea caught on, and when
it came round again to generous Jim
mic the total amounted to something
over $4,000. They summoned the land
lord, handed over the amount to him
and asked him to give it to Miss
White next morning with their hearty
good wishes for her happiness.
Next day she was married, and the
happy bridegroom was-Jimmie

WING HAD GOOD nEM0Ry

In the decade of 1S4O-50 Col. w. A.
Bryant was a young attorney in Barre,
Mass, and also editor of the Barre
Gazette and an ardent Democrat, the
leading parties in the country then
being Wings and Democrats.
In the campaign Of the fall of 1871
Col. Bryant was to make an address
in Hubbardston and drove over dur
ing the afternoon, the distance being
about eight miles. In the course of
his trade against the Wings he said:
Their case is lost, and they will get
lost themselves if they stay out after
dark"
4 After rousing meeting he started
home, and as it was dark, with no
moon and the sky cloudy he got off
the road. Noticing light in a farm
house, he stopped and knocked at the
door. The farmer came to the door
The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1906-03-24

with a lantern and asked what was
wanted. The colonel politely asked to
be directed to the straight road to
Barre.
At glance the farmer discovered
who the caller was, having attended
the meeting. and said: "Aitl't you
the young Teller that was making the
address at Hubbardston this even
ing?'
Yes" said Col. Bryant, "and have
lost my way
Well said the farmer, I'm Wing
and have found my way home, and,
by gosh, you can find yours, if you
can. and slammed the door in the
colonel's face.
The colonel finally found his way
home, and related the incident to his
friends with great glee.
