THE JOKER NUGGET.
An Incident Of the Early Australian
Gold Diaaines.

Among the rich finds In the Austria
lian gold diggings the Joker nugget
ranks among the chief. 1t turned the
scale at thirty ounces and was sold for
5000. In size and shape IL resembled
a mans hand, thick at the wrist part
and tapering off toward the fingers.
The claim had been good one from
the first, and the owner did not have
to work hard One day he was reclin-
ing full length idly searching for mug
gets when he caught sight Of the Joker.
He at once covered 1t with his hand
and sat up, rather wondering how he
would secure the treasure without be-
ing seen. If the find became known
every man In the field would tramp to
the spot and invade his claim and so
prevent him working. A man In an
adjoining claim looked up. Found
anythingY' he asked. "No. Seen the
color-that's all. Pitch my coat over
to me, will you? It's lying near there.
/ want a smoke" Here you are,
mate. But what's the matter? You
look pale. Don't you feel right?" I'm
all right, only the sun is bit hot" He
was struggling with an insane desire
to laugh, but he got his coat over the
nugget and seated himself on the top
Of It, Then laughter overpcwered him,
and he became hysterical. Those
about him wondered. but thought the
sun had affected him. In a little while
he gained his composure and decided
to go TO his tent. In lifting his coat
he managed to take up the lump OF
gold, and no one knew that he had
found anything. Ii was not until ten
days had passed that the fact was
noised abroad. and even then few
knew the claim whence the Joker
came.

An Interesting Record.

Our well-known townsman, Mr. J.
Shirley Smith. who. as did his worthy
sire before him, takes great interest in
recording events of local history. kindly
contributes TO our columns the following:
Mr.. Editorials you have requested. l
make few notes from from my private
diary. First. find that the year 1907
has been hard one on old people,
mean people who have attained the ripe
old age of three score and ten years and
over, and | also refer to people of
Charles Town and the near vicinity. So
have in this class recorded 81 deaths
for Ioo7-more than double any other
year of my record-I4 females and II
males. Fifteen of these deaths occurr-
ed in January, February and March.
This refers to white people. Seven old
colored people passed away during the
year. Now. an interesting item of my
diary is. as you may remember, at the
beginning of the 10TH century | made a
canvas IN our town of our old land
marks. and found we had in the city 90
males and 6o females who had reached
three score and ten years. Of this num-
Der | only have as living males and IL
females. All the others have passed
over the river. We have had six sudden
deaths this year, against eight in 1905.
and 10 for 1905. Accidents that resulted
IN death I6. against s in 1906. 70 people
We're killed by railroads in the county,
against S for 1906. Only suicide. and
only murder. during 1907. In 1908 the
early fruit trees doomed March ~, and
in 1909 they were one month later. In
1905 they bloomed April 2. in 1906 April
s. in 1907 March 20. But the peach trees
failed to bloom at all in 1907. In the
winter of 1906 7 there were only I6 day IS
of sleighing. and IA days in 1875 6. No
fires in Charles Town during 1907.
