N THEW! it was certainly warm. NV Any doubts on the subject " would have been removed by a mere glance at Samuel Clapstone as he toiled in Lawyer Grabley's garden. The sun beat fiercely upon Samuers pate, smooth and shiny as 1t was. without sign of hair thereon.
 Looking out through the open case- ment. Lawyer Grabley paused in the reading of his paper to watch the refiec. ton of the sun on SamueTs head. Tho longer he watched the sunlight on the smooth surface the more 1t fascinated him.

 Samuel ceased from labor and turned his head in the direction from which the call had come.
 Lawyer Grabley leaned out the win dow and beckoned to the gardener to approach.

 Without waiting for a reply, he con- Hnued, So I'm going to give you one of my wigs

 But there IS such a farm. New speci- mems of the animals are brought from Australia and kangaroos are reared on these English farms. From here they are sent to zoos and private persons.
 The kangaroo is a delightful pet. He becomes very tame. and is always do- cile and amiabIe. In the picture you see a kangaroo eating from his masters hand.
 In summer he lives out of doors nearly all of the time. eating grass and other greenstuffs. As you know. the kanga- roo can readily leap as high as six feet. so that 1t is necessary to have the walls of his inclosilre good height.

Through the long lane of courtiers Don and Flora made their way to the throne. Don, remembering wha6 the gnome had said about looking irnpor- tant. threw his chest out. and, instead of lowing. looked the king steadily in the eye. |
 The king was instantly impressed. "You must have been very important persons in your own country. sup poser" he asked.
 "oh. yes." replied Don. haughtily, i've had one whole playroom to our selves.''
 "Indeed!" murmured the king. Then he respectfully asked Don. and Flora. to bow their heads. Tapping them gently with his scepter. he announced. loudly:

 Immediately the courtiers formed two long lines in front of Don and Flora. The little boy and girl were gazing on this scene in amazement. when the gnome pushed them gently forward.

MINES And MINING NEWS

loon in Blackhorse n. Clays is
also interested in mining, and has
some valuable prospects. 1t is he-
yond my comprehension to tell what
there is in the future for Blackhorse,
but will give it as my .'pinio1 that
the camp has a very brlgAt future.
It matters but little whe Lpr " oolcy
"makes good" on all the prrperty he
nas bonded or not. On tho thenry
that you can't keep a good mandOwn,
| think 1t is equally trro Of a good
mining camp. Just at present Black
horse is somewhat under a shadow.
but the shadow will be lifted in Il few
weeks. Capital is bou.lG to seek
investment, but just nov the great
money centers of the country are
timid, securities having fslen within
the last three months nearly inc
half, and, indeed, some have COM
pletely gone off the DO ards where
they once attracted much attention
Blackhorse. I Think, ha, prospects
that cannot go a great I-l.I.e- unno-
ticed.
Two points l see by referring to
my notes | have overlooked. One is
that Blackhorse supports three sa-
looms, one barber shop, two restau-
rants, two mercantile establishments,
a feed tent and town pump. The
other is the Lucky Boy, owned by
Dan Clays. The Lucky Boy pro-
duces the color when a test is made.
1t is true fissure vein in a grant
formation, and can be traced on the
the surface for g distance of $500
feet. The ledge at the point of dis
covery is wide, five feet having been
exposed and only one wall reached.
Mr.. Clays places much confidence in
the outcome of the Lucky Boy.
