Mistakes of Drug Clerks.

"There is one loss sustained by drug
gists that very few people know
about" said the experienced clerk.
"That is in the prescriptions that have
to be made over, the same as clerks,
stenographers, writers and artists, no
matter how painstaking, frequently
have to do their work over. The most
careful drug clerk in existence is
bound to make mistakes sometimes in
measuring and mixing.
HE may pour in too much Of some
kind of liquid or sift in too much of a
certain powder. In most cases the
overdose would not really affect the
value of the medicine, but the consei-
entious clerk isn't going to take any
chances of numbering anybody, so he
throws away the whole mixture and
makes up another prescription"

Couldn't Stick Him AGAIN.

A bishop. accosted in Fifth avenue,
New York, by neat but hungry stran-
ger, took the needy one to a hotel and
shared a gorgeous dinner with him,
yet, having left his episcopal wallet in
the pocket of different episcopal jack
ct, suddenly faced the embarrassment
of not possessing the wherewithal to
pony up. Never mind" exclaimed his
guest; Il have enjoyed dining with you
and shall be charmed to shoulder the
cost. Permit me-" Whereupon the
stranger paid for two. This worried
the prelate. who insisted. "Just let me
call cab and We'll run up to my hotel,
where 1 shall have the pleasure of re-
imbursing you" But the stranger met
the suggestion with, "See here, old
man, you've stuck me for bully good
dinner, but hanged if I'm going to let
you stick me for car farer'

Some time ago man at Ypsilanti
Mich, became crazed ON the subject
of hypnotism and was sent on a Mich
igan Central train to an asylum. When
the conductor asked for tickets the
crazy man began telling of his hyp-
motto powers.
I'll hypnotic YOU" he said.
Sire away" replied the conductor.
The man made several passes before
the conductors face.
Now you are hypnotized," he said.
The conductor looked the part as
best he could
You're a conductor" the hypnotist
said.
That's right" replied his victim.
you're good conductor" went on
the hypnotist
Right again." said the conductor
you don't smoke, drink or swear at
passengers. You are honest. You turn
in all tickets and money you collect
from passengers. In fact. you do not
steal cent
That's right" assented the con-
ductor.
The hypnotist eyed him a moment,
then said:

From Nearby Counties
Fights DueI With BURGLAR

The little town of Campo Seco,
Calaveras county, was the scene of
pistol duel early last Saturday
morning between Nicholas Tongetta.
the proprietor of saloon, and a
burglar who had just emerged from
the saloon mans place of business
with buckskin sack containing
about s6l0. The robber escaped with
the money and none of the shots fred
during the fusillade did any harm to
either participant. During the night
the three saloons of the town were
entered and ransacked. In two of
the saloons nothing of value was
taken, with the exception of a 81 bill.
just before daybreak a man who
had been enjoyed about the saloon
as helper visited the place for the
purpose of getting drink. While he
was in the barroom he heard someone
moving about the storeroom in the
rear of the saloon, but thinking it
was the Chinaman who is EMPLOYED
"
as a cook at the saloon, he paid no
attention to the incident. After
taking drink he went out the
main door, and as he was leaving the
premises he saw stranger emerging
from the storeroom with the sack of
coin in one hand and lighted candle
in the other. The porter rushed to
the home of the proprietor and notiti-
ed him of the theft. Quickly dress
ing, the proprietor ran to the saloon
and as he was about to enter, noticed
man standing against nearby tree.
Upon scanning the object a little
closer, he observed the sack of coin.
Rushing toward The robber, he com
menced shooting. The burglar took
to his heels, but hesitated every few
feet long enough to turn and take a
deliberate aim and fire at his pursuer.
The saloon man kept up the chase
till his ammunition gave out, then
returned to his place of business.
The robber is described as a short
man with a gray moustache. He
wore black coat and black SLOUGH
hat, which he kept we'll pulled down
over his eyes. Independent.

Beer For Breakfast.

Sixteenth century children in Eng

consumed by modern American young
sters. The following dietary is taken
from the Northumberland Household
Book. showing the nursery breakfasts
at the beginning of the sixteenth CEN

Commits Suicide.

Early Friday afternoon Nov. %.
Edward L. Kane, the we'll known
engineer in a moment of despond-
ency, ended his life by means of a
bullet. At the time of the act he was
sitting in chair at the Angels hotel.
No one was present when he fired the
pistol shot, as Paul Gambs, the hotel
clerk, had Immediately before stepped
out on the sidewalk. As Gambs left
the room he heard Kane sobbing, and
a moment afterwards, he and others
standing outside we're startled by the
sound of pistol shots inside the room.
On entering they found Ed. lying on
the table, with the pistol on the floor
at his feet. His death was instant
anoous, the bullet having entered
his brain from the right side of the
head.
Ed. Kane was we'll known in most
of the mining communities of Cali
foInia. He was born about fifty
years ago near the Kentucky House,
about three miles from San Andreas.
lie was foreman at the old Union
mine on the Kathgeb ranch during
the period that mine was being oper
ated and thereafter came to Angels
camp and for many years held a re-
sponsible positions in the mines
here. He has had charge of mum.
Der of mining properties operated by
G. D. Lane in different parts of this
state. As result of his industry be
had accumulated sufficient money to
make him independent.
A few years ago he went to Aus
tralia, and then to Nome, Alaska.
On his return, about a year ago. he
went to the mining regions of Nevada.
Here he lost heavily in mining VEN
lures, and returned to Calaveras
county, about month ago, practical
ly penniless.
His financial losses seemed to prey
upon him and he began to drink
somewhat heavily. His close acuuaint-
ances lately observed that his manner
was not entirely rational and several
times he stated that he would kill
himself, bnt his remarks were not
. taken seriously.

TALK THE DELTA
FAIR AND PARK

The Delta Fair and City Park
should be the subject for our people
to discuss around the Preside, at the
cubs. on the streets, or in their diff
ferent places OF business until the
day of the meeting in this city on
March 4th It is live issue and one
in which Greenyille and the entire
Delta are interested-even its good
women.
The Times feels justified in saying
that it truely believes now, the Fair
is a certainty and the only question
left for the coming meeting to de-
eide is how big it is to be made and
the amount of stock to be raised.
On this point we feel the Fair
should be a big one SO that it will
attract worldwide advertising and
draw to the city people from North,
South, East and West For putting
on such a Fair, we feel that the
agricultural, 1--we stock, poultry and
other interests in the Delta can COM
pare tavOrably with any other IN the
world and when seen, will draw from
them both admiration and praise.
The committee appointed by the
| last meeting has in their possession
| bids on diff erent sites adjoining the
| city which arr considered reasonable
| and accessible both to railroad and
street car services, and this hereto
! fore, has been the greatest drawback
to the enterprise.
| If Jackson can successfully run an
Agricultural Fair, Natchez a Mardi
Gras, then the rich and fertile Delta
can, in a progressive city as Green
vile, successfully put on Fair that
will not only be success but one
that every citizen can feel proud Of
/
