FELL INTO MILLIONS.
The Slip by Which Rich Gold Mine |
Was Discovered.

One of the most productive mines
in California was discovered through
an accidental fall of the discovcrcr.
He was one of hunting party that
had gone out from San Francisco
during the Christmas holidays.
While passing along the side of a
steep hill on narrow trail his horse
suddenly slipped and with his rider
went down into the gulch.
Happening to be the last in the
line and some distance behind the
others. he was not missed for some
moments, but when his absence was
noticed the party turned back to
look for him, fearing some unto
ward accident. He was nowhere to
be seen, but the place where his
horse had slipped and fallen over
the bank. together with the traces
of the fall, was plainly visible. Fol
lowing the tracks made by the fall
ing horse and man. and when near
the bottom. the men suddenly came
upon an interesting spectacle. Just
behind clump of bushes which the
man and his steed had crashed
through on their way down stood
the horse, apparently miniured,
while near by. on slab of rock
projecting from the snow. the man
was capering like an Indian at a
ghost dance.
The first impression of the rcscu-
ing party was that the man had gone
suddenly crazy. but as he caught
sight of them he suddenly ceased
his gyrations and shouted for them
to approach. They came. when he
showed them several Jumps of al
most pure gold he had hastily
knocked from the edge with a stone
for hammer and announced his
discovery of a gold mine. The slid
ing horse had brought up against
the ledge. and the rcstivc animal,
kicking vigorously in the efforts to
rise, had struck. off the moss from
the stone and disclosed the fact that
it was a gold bearing ledge of un-
usual richness. The find wa, APP
propriately named "Thc Christmas
Gift" and a valuable gift it proved
to be.

A FAMILY AFFAIR.
Il Was Nice to Have the Children Of
the House Help Out.

The Friday Afternoon Whist club
had assembled at the home Of one
of its leading spirits on the upper
west side when it was discovered
that two members were absent, and
therefore there were two hands
short. The ladies were in a guam
dairy till the hostess announced that
her two children, Clarence. aged
eleven, and Gwendolinc, aged thir-
teen, had picked up little knowl-
edge of the game from watching
their elders, She suggested that as
it wouldn't do to call the game off
after so many had taken the trouble
TO come. and as she could think of
no other way TO get two substitute
hands, the two children would at
least help to fill out the tables-that
is. if every one was perfectly agree
able.
just the thing" declared all the
ladies in chorus. The hostess was
urged 10 bring them in at once.
Every ono would be just delighted.
Clarence and Gwendolinc were
duly summoned and introduced.
They took their seats modestly, the
ladies promised to assist them on
knotty points, and the game COM
menccd.
There were two prizes offered,
and both we're of considerable value.
Every woman present made up her
mind to have one of those prizes at
any cost. The game was entered
into with abandon, and no quarter
was shown to any one. So far from
needing any assistance Clarence and
Gwendoine seemed to hold their
own pretty well. In fact, they SEEM
ed so perfectly at home that when
in the stress of excitement men,
Der failed to adhere strictly to the
rules Clarence would call attention
to the error gravely and Gwcndo-
line with ladylike dignity. The up
shot of the game was that when the
afternoon was over and the final
count was made Gwendoline and
Clarence were in possession of both
prizes.
The ladies took leave of their
hostess in a body with profuse
thanks for the pleasant afternoon,
all declaring they had had ilst the
lovelicst time. and she had been so
sweet to them all they really must
thank her again.
But as the door closed after the
last smile and goodby there was an
ominous silence in the ranks of the
FRIDAY Afternoon Whist club.

can play whist so WE'LL said one la
dy swectly, with a small CLEAN in

yourself a barber, do you have your
hair so badly cut"

hair myself, but am obliged to have

Chinese People.


Chinese People.
Adjoining the Chjn2s@ prefecture
of Chienchang is rep . lily
barred by river whch no China
man is permitted TO pass until he
finds bail for his good conduct in
Lolodom.
The Lolos are a slim. well made,
muscular race, with oval reddish
brown faces, high cheek bones and
pointed chins, from which the beard
has been carefully pluckcd. They
are far taller than the Chinese and
indeed than any European race, bat
their marked popularity is the horn.
Every male adult gathers his hair in
a knot over his forehead and then
twists it up in cotton cloth so
that it resembles the horn of uni
corn.
The horn is considered sacred,
and even if Lolo settles in Chinese
territory and grows a pigtail he still
preserves his horn. The Lolo
mans principal garment is a wide
sleeveless mantle Of red or black
felt tied about the neck and de-
scending almost to the heels. The
trousers are Of Chinese cotton with
felt bandagcs. No shoes arc worn,
but a conical hat Of woven bamboo
covered with felt furnishes head
covering as well as an umbrella.
The Chinese divide the Lolos into
two classes, which they call rcspcc-
lively "black bones" and "white
bones" the first being the mobiles
and the latter their yassals and re-
taincrs. There is also a third class
of captive Chinese and their de-
scendants. called "watzu.' practical
~ slaves. who are tattoocd on the
forehead with the mark of their
tribe.
The LoloS never marry except in
their own tribes. captive Chinese
women being given to their bonds
men. The marriage of "black

and many banqucts. The bctrothal
is celebrated and ratified by the
present of the husband to the
brides family of a pig and three
vessels of wine.
On the wedding morn the bride is
richly dressed with many orna-
ments. She is expected to weep
profusely, whether she feels so in
clined or not. In the midst of her
tears the "room's relatives and
friends dash in. seize the bride, the
best man carries her out of doors

pie send clothes, ornaments and

ton among the Lolos, and a woman
