The old order passes in California. as everywhere. There was recently observed at Sacramento the Sand am niversary of the organization there of the California Pioneers.

This was granted. and the pioneers, their wives and the widows of pioneers, were entertained at q reception and banquet given by the sons and daugh- ters of pioneers. The custom thus es- tablished will undoubtedly be followed in tte future

LUCK FOR A eRue-sTAKER,

Prospectors Occasionally Realize

Up in the Black Hills in South Da.
kota are a number of those queer in
dividuals, the prospector or grub
stalker. whose prospect holes dot the
hillside for miles like a great rabbit
warren. Their little log cabins are
usually far from the haunts of man
in the Businesses of the mountains,
and their lonely labors are only occa'
~sionally rewarded by discoveries OF
the hidden riches of the earth. One
of these strange characteristic fact,
the most eccentric in the hills-was
a big red-headed Irishman.
For twenty years he had tunneled
and blasted without a strike reward
ing his toll. Last summer Dame For.
tune smiled upon him. He opened
up a rich hole, which he quickly dis
posed of for a good round sum. With
the money in his pocket he fastened
to Deadwood, where he announced his
intention of taking a trip to the en-
erald isle. In arranging the itinerary
of his journey the ticket agent asked
him if he wanted a cabin or saloon
passage. The son of Erin very indig-
nantly responded: "A cabin, is it?

Heard a SmeII.

She was a bright little girl of about
three years, and kept a crowded
Broadway car laughing from the time
she got on with her mother at Thirty
fourth street until the car neared
Fifty-ninth street. She kept up d
continual chatter about passengers in
the car, sometimes embarrassing to
the mother, but always amusing to
those who were not the butt of this
little ones conversation.
Presently a fashionably gowned
young lady arose from her seat and
ordered the conductor to let her OFF
at the next corner. AS she swept by
there was a swish of silken skirts and
the odor of violets in the air. The
little girl looked at her mother and
then at the retreating figure of the
young woman, and remarked:
ooh, mamma, did you hear how that
woman smells?"
This caused such a ripple of laugh
ter in the car that the mother threat
| ened to punish the child if she did not
keep still, and for half a minute she
said not a word.-New York Herald
