HOW Katy Made
Thanksgiving
for Her Father
and Uncle NM8Dl

Although vain, bronze turkey
rustled his gorgeous feathers in a
corral, and there was box of cram
berries and some raisins and other
"iiXings" which showed preparation
for Thanksgiving dinner, Katy Holt
grew thoughtful every time that
Thanksgiving was mentioned. She had
a large scheme on hand that needed
tact, courage and good luck to carry
il through.
Tom Holt, her father, was a genor
Gus man, hospitable, friendly and
square, but his temper was violent
and flashy. One year ago, when
Thanksgiving was drawing near, viii

From the creek below Uncle Billy

Tom Holt smiled. the first time in

by Indian Jack. It was addressed to

gave orders that no one was to open

read with beating heart. 1t was from
her Uncle viii. AS she turned the
pages-there were many OF them-a
was pinned slip of paper with the
words, For Katy"
A sudden light came into her eyes.
She called her father and told him

was soon under way, galloping over

Uncle Wills mining camp was. She
turned her horse sharply and rode In
that direction, Indian Jack following
close after, ....'
Hello, Uncle Billy" she cried, as
she reached the camp. When she was
particularly fond she always called

and liked the nickname when she
spoke it.
She leaped from her horse, fairly
dragged Uncle win into his cabin and
there talked with him for long time.
He shook his head repeatedly, stamp
ed two or three times and would have
said some hard words but that Katy
each time covered his mouth with
kisses and then she Rugged him and
said:

Arthur concluded that he had better
get outside, and started out, but the
drunken fellow decided that he dill
not want anyone to leave, so he told
Arthur to come back, and when he
did not come back he pulled out his
gun and shot twice. Arthur says
that he does not think that the fell
low intended to hit him, but he could
hear the music Of the bullets as they
whistled by his head. The marshal
then came along and put the young
fellow in the jug. The laughable
part of 1t is that one of SunHyside's
most enterprising business men, or
women, telephoned to one of our citi-
zens on Monday and said that the
young fellow was not drunk, but was
subject to fits, and this fit was cdus-
ed by drinking a little sweet cider.

the Sunnyside young men that has
fits, either from sweet cider or some
thing stronger, and we think the
Sunnyside official would do we'll to
keep such young men behind the

ter the correspondence necessary to
supply the desired information.
The invention has passed the theo-
retical state, If so simple and sure
machine can be said to have such
a stage, and is accepted by mining
men in full for all claims made for
it. The letters of inquiry, CON-
mendation and praise come from
California, Nevada, Alaska and all
over the west. Many fiattering Of
fers have been made the inventor
to erect and operate plants. It's OBJ
ject is to save the fine gold that has
hitherto been wasted, and therefore
it's value in working over tailings
will readily be seen. Prof. Chas
Mason, mining and consulting en-
gineer of Seattle, writes: "It will
save the finest flour or fake gold; 1t
is simple-can be taken anywhere,
and excels anything of the kind. It
is money maker and labor saver"
Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada,
Utah and other gold producing
states gave up last year $685..
100000 in golden treasure. The
loss for want of suitable machinery
for saving fine gold was not less than
20 per cent, or the enormous sum
of $17,600,000. The amalgamator
will save this. For this reason stock
in the company making and market
ing the machines will be as valuable
as stock in "a first-class gold mine.
The stock is being sought after,
and while 1t is to be obtained all
seeking a safe investment, with large
returns assured, should lose no time
in communicating with the secre-
tary, Will Everett, who will give
upon request any information de-
sired.

many and Dangers to the
Throne of Alfonso.

PARIS, Jan. 29.-The woman
known as Nine. de Thebes, who
makes a practice Of casting the hor-
oscope of every year, has issued her
almanac for 1907. Her predictions
concerning some European countries
are qnite alarming.
First as to Great Britain, Nine.
de Thebes predicts a bitter class
war and a struggle between the
House Of Lords and the people. But
the King will bring it to an en- i.
That is the worst she has to say
about England.
There is bad time in store for
Germany If the clairvoyants pre-
dictions are realized. The Father
land is becoming more and more dis
turbed, she says. Risings are limited
at; the Kaiser, we are told, has seen
his best days, and will leave to his
less skillful successors an ineXplica-
able situation. The year will re-
veal German weakness. There will
be mourning in several princely fam
lilies, and court affairs will be fruit
full in astonishing surprises. The
Emperor is to give more coups de
theatre.
In Austria there will be great
commotion; the old Emperor is not
sure whether he will leave the crown
to the archduke, whom he has de-
signed to succeed to it.
The greatest dangers of his reign
confront King Alfonso, but he will
escape them, and If he pulls through
1907 and 1908 he is assured of liv-
ing a royal. original, exciting and
prosperous life.
Italy is in state of renascence.
For the rest, Nine. de Thebes be-
lieves that the Latin races are des-
tind NOR than ever to lead the
world.
There is nothing reassuring for
America. Disaster by fire and water
are predicted and the same predic-
| tion holds good for South America,
In almost every state politics will
bring about ravages in 1907 and
! grave conflicts.
