HAD THE EVIDENCE
BLACK EYE coRRosoRATEp Aus.
BANDS STATEMENT.
Proof Positive That His Enumeration
Of "Sarah's" Good Qualities Had
Lot of Foundation
In Fact.

He stood In front OF the laundry
with q far-away look In his eyes and
appeared to be deciding some mo.
mentous question. Finally he entered
the place and said to the young man
behind the counter:
i see, son, you need Laundry
hands"
Yep" was the reply. Want q JOB
pushing the iatiron?"
"Ferget 1t! I'm tryin' to git Sarah
place. She's my wife"
Had any experienced?
Sarah has had experience In all
kinds OF work, he said proudly. Why,
I've seen that woman make pancakes,
fry eggs, cook beefsteak, iron socks,
gossip with the neighbors, and lick
couple of the kids, all at the same
time. That's woman for you, my
boy! What's the wages?
She will get four dollars per If
she's any good"
Any good? Say, you ought to be
around some Monday mornin' when
Sarah is cookin' breakfast, tacklin'
the weeks wash, an gittin' six chill
aren ready for school. Can't no one
beat her. II do say it myself. But
there's one thing l want to warn you
about"
"weur
Don't cross her"
Don't cross herr"
mo. Don't cross her, or any other
yed-headed woman weighin' 200
pounds, fer that matter. Bout ten In
the mornin' Sarah will want to sit
down ar smoke her corncob fer q
spell That's dangerous time to
cross her-a dangerous time"
Smoke her corncob?" repeated the
laundry clerk in establishment. Il
guess not. No smoking allowed here"
Sarah will do 1t. She claims that
what's good fer man is good fer wom-
an, an she knows good tobacco a mile
of. What time tomorrow viii | send
her around?"
I'VE can't use her here. She's prob
ably all you say she Ia, but we can't
have smoking here. Why don't you
try that blacksmith shop on the next
corner? He needs a helper, / under
stand, and she could smoke herself to
death there"
No; / guess not" he said after
thinking over the suggestion. IT'S
hardly a woman's work, but I'm bet
tin Sarah would shoe boss inside of
week or know the reason why. An
I'd be sorry fer the boss what kicked
her. Well, SO long"
Say" called the laundry clerk as
the man was leaving, how did you get
that black eyer"
That's what comes Of crossiR' q
good woman like Sarah" he replied.

May Revive eIOrIes Of Mukdsn.

Mukden, the chief city OF central
Manchuria and the old capital of the
Chinese empire. is a characteristic
Tartar-Chinese city of about 100000
Inhabitants. Its glory has largely de,
parted. There are some reports, how
ever. that 1t is the intention of the
Chinese government to try to restore
something OF its lost Importance. 1t
is the headquarters of viceroy. The
temples, tombs. gateways and other
buildings, all venerable with age, at
once stamp the place as one Of the an.
cient seats of Tartar civilization. The
commercial Importance of Mukden lies
almost entirely In the future. There
are hardly any foreigners in the
place; probably not over eight or ten.

Young Women ard Old.

Perhaps ii ia the fault of us older
women that the young people are SO
careful OF our feelings, says q writer
in Harper's Bazaar 1t must be that we
have ourselves put SO much distance
between us and them. There are some
OF us who are too eager to tell how
well behaved we were when We were
young, who have too much to saw
about the slovenly ways young people
have OF standing and sitting, and of
their slangy ways of speaking, for us
to meet them often on a comfortable
footing. We older women have less
criticism for the younger ones than
older women had formerly, | think. /
fancy that to-day our attitude Is one
easier to get on with. ! don't believe

"siddy" as | used to when | was a
young girl. So perhaps by the time
Gertrude Is an old woman the young
people OF hsr day won't be as afraid
of saying something she will disap-
prove of as she Is. Still. II she Is one
OF those of rs who do not take every
thing for z 7nted. she viii find the
way back to her girlhood a long one.

Early Day Happenings
-.. In Phoebe ..--
April 1872

Property Dispute - A small
tent was erected during Tuesday
night on q lot nearly opposite the
store of Wheeler & Co. on Main
street, and on Wednesday morn
ing quite a crowd congregated in
the neighborhood. Madame Ru-
NOR was in her element, and the
town was rife with wild rumors
of lot jumpers, etc. The lot in
question is claimed by M. Nico-
Itch, but was vacant, the build
ing having been burned at the
large fire last fall, anG was not
fenced. 1t has, until recently
been leased, and only a couple of
weeks since a house was removed
from the center of the same. 1t
seems, however, that there has
been trouble about the title for
some time. Now comes on the
scene Jack Harris and Nick Rod
riguez. who set up their possess
DRY title backed by six shooters
and double barreled shot guns.
For one whole day and night
they have stood guard. This af-
ternoon they caused to be erected
in front a large board fence and
claim that their lot runs back
one hundred feet. The question
will be settled in the courts. In
the meantime the property will
be likely to change hands for a
valuable consideration.
Wonderful 1T is astonishing
with what alacrity some of our
town property holders fenced in
their lots this week. All day
long could be seen parties set
Ting disputed lines and planting
the corner posts. Lumber that
could not be obtained at any
price the day before was found,
and now forms complete barriers
to jumpers.
Chief of the Hill This claim,
situated midway between the
Burke shaft of the Raymond &
Ely and the American Flag, is
one of which little has heretofore
been known or made public. Al
personal inspection of the claim
was, however, made by us this
week, and such investigation
was, as will hereafter be shown,
perfectly satisfactory. A tunnel
has been run into the hill a dis
lance of fifty feet, at the end of
which the ledge was first encoun-
tered. At the end of this tunnel
a shaft was at once commenced. |
and has been sunk to a depth of
forty feet, and here the first
drift was started. This drift has
been run a distance of $50 feet

REUNIONS.
Reunion Of the 18th N. Y.

Editor National Tribune: l often scan
the pages of The National Tribune to
find word concerning the 18TH N. Y,
but if such ever appeared 1 have failed
to find it. Having attended the Annual
Reunion last month, submit the fol-
lowing: A remnant of the 18th n. Y.
held their Annual Reunion at the Ar
mory, Auburn, N. Y, June II; only a
few of those who in the early eos went
down the Atlantic to Florida on the
old steamship Baltic, fought Johnnies
at Port Hudson and sand f1eas on Santa
Rosa Island. The date for the Reunion
was intended for the 18th of June, but
as that was Sunday the date was
changed to the 18th. Many speeches
were made, songs sung and a general
good time was had, such as few know
how TO enjoy like the old veterans. Let
ters were read from comrades far away,
among which were these: George
Little. Beatrice, Neb.; Geo. Knapp
Washington, ID. c.; S. Dewey, Portland
