his rights. 1t was a little recon-
pense to the man who had suffered
wrongly to know that he had behind
him such tried and true friends, for
he numbered among them the best
men in this community.
The district attorney addressed the
court and asked that the cas be dis
missed as he knew that he was doing
his duty by the people in SO doing,
for he was certain that he could not
secure a conviction, and it was not
fair to involve the peoples money.
He moved for the dismissal on the
grounds that the jury which had
brought the verdict against Hen
messy had petitioned the board of
pardons for his pardon; also that his
predecessor, who had prosecuted the
case, had sent a strong petition to the
same effect. Then Mr.. McCarran gave
his own reasons for asking for the
dismissal, which We're embodied il

GOIdfieId Consolidated
Pays First Dividend


GOLDFlELD, Sept 23.-The board OF directors of the Gold .
field Consolidated Mines Company met this afternoon in the Wing =
field building and voted the first of the regular dividends to be =
paid, distributing $360,00O among the shareholders. =
George Wingheld. the vice president, j. NJ. Fenwick, Charles S. .
Thomas, John S. Cook and John Wellington Finch, comprising a =
majority of the directorate, were present at the meeting. Wing .
field presided in the absence of Senator George S. Nixon. =
The reports of the officers had been compiled and were pre- =
scented formally to the directorate. The board decided that an as =
sured dividend, payable each month, would be far more preferable =
than the payment of a large amount occasionally. .
stockholders in all subsidiary companies OF the Consolidated =
will be given an opportunity to exchange the shares for Conohd- =
ated. The board by resolution set the limit for such exchange at =
October 9Th. Such exchanges will enable the holders of constit- =
uent company stocks to profit from the output of the Consoidat- =
ed, which is one of the greatest gold mines on earth. =
Before the meeting today Mr. Wingfeld said: THE directors =
will simply declare a dividend of 10 cents a share a month, ex- =
tend the time for the exchange of stock in subsidiary companies =
for Consolidated, and attend to a few minor matters" =
This afternoon the Mohawk company declareda dividend Of so =
cents a share on 100000 shares of stock, practically all OF which .

 He moved in on the morning of Christmas eve, and explored the house with kind of numb curiosity. He spent most of the morning in the shop parlor in the armchair in front of the fire. He did not even go out to the quick-lunch room for the beau tiful dinner that he had promised himself. He had taken lot of milk from the milkman, and he kept drink ing that. He did not seem to care about anything but milk, and every thing felt strange and uncanny. The figure on the mantelpiece-a white bearded old gentleman which he be- heved was called Santa Claus-was the strangest and uncanniest of all. The fire was almost out, so he put on some more coal. He saw that it was nearly four o'clock. "Lumme!" he muttered. 'Ive. let the day go, an 'aven't done no bus ness. This won't do. I'll take down the shutters, an open the shop"
 It had been hard autumn, and the people on whom Paxton alley preyed were short of money. So Pax ton alley was short of money, too.
 If few entered the shop, there were enough outside. A dozen cold, red blue noses flattened themselves against the glass; dozen shrill voices clamored; dozen little hands pointed with grimy, chilblainy fingers here and there
 Jimmy remembered when he was a kid" how he used to spend hours at the toy-shop window, and how the woman he lived with then had thrash ed him for spending on marbles a penny of the money he had taken for papers. It was his own money, he held. or he wouldn't have done it For, by some freak of nature, Jimmy was honest. But now he could hard ly sit up in a chair, and he didn't believe he could walk; but when a woman came in for ten-cent doll he managed to crawl to the window to serve her.

 By and by he began to feel tired. He determined to jump out on the steps again, but strange to say all his jumps turned to paddles. He couldn't seem to get over hard, brown object next to the steps. He decided to try no more but just to sit still, so he dou- bled his short legs up under him and floated. After a while he felt himself sinking, but he padded twice or thrice and got up again. Still it was pleas anter to drift, so he rested once more. Lower and lower he sank. Strange odors fioated up around him. Drowsi- ness besieged him. Not much except his head was now above surface, but somehow, as he rested his bill on that cool substance the gosling didn't care.

 "Peep!" replied the gosling placidly turning over on the grass in the warm sun with a deliciously filled feeling.

 - HERE is honor among the deni D, zens of Paxton alley, but MT - Smiths toy-shop stood at the very entrance, and they reckoned him out of bounds.
 From time to time evil-looking men muttered to one another about the long stocking that MT. Smith was supposed to have filled; but he had figured in the prize ring in his young CT days, and he was said to sleep with big knob stick beside him. So the matter ended at mutterings. A big, powerful man was MT. Smith; {; and he had powerful edge to his tongue. Every one in the alley feared him except Jimmy.
 MT. Smith knew him as the extra ordinary paper-boy who brought back dime given him in mistake for a penny, an event which was his- torical in the alley. At the time it gave rise to doubts as to Jimmy's sanity, but afterward it was held that he was playing up to the old man."
 Anyhow, MT. Smith took two pa pers regularly afterward; and the day after his funeral-which was the day before Christmas eve-a sleek man in shiny top hat invaded Paxton al- ley, escorted by policeman, and took evidence as to the identity of 'the boy called Jimmy who sold pa pers" to the public generally, and in particular to the late Mr. Smith When the sleek man was satisfied upon this point he proclaimed Jimmy the sole legatee of the estate, which comprised the little shop and house and all their contents.
 You'll find long stocking some where, l expect" the lawyer said, land you'd better bring it to me to take care of; and if I were you should take the name of Smith,"
 Under ordinary circumstances Jim my would have been elated by his good fortune, but somehow the world had not interested him lately. He had had terrible cough for weeks his business exposing him to the climate-and just now he felt tired,
