Our choice of vegetables, beans,

any in season.
Mr.. Hannah says he is short
of one hundred bushels of corn
of former years, but what he has
made is very fine and has been
housed. He has some very fine
hogs to kill and he is on the safe
side for living-'''plenty of hog

Illicit Sale Of Whisky.

The illicit sale OF whisky is
getting to be very common
throughout the state, it seems.
There are complaints on all
sides. 1t is a low calling, though
the venders are not so regarded
by some. Their patrons are as
low down and deDased as they
are, yet they NAV not be so re.
garded.
To sell whisky under a license
is a. calling that an ordinarily
refined man will not take to.
1T is said that a young man,
week before last, conducted the
peddling of whisky here most
successfully, and that he in
formed a ufriend and fellow
knight Of the traffic who came
and succeeded ingloriously; be
was trapped Saturday night,
placed in jail till Monday morn
ing, tried before the mayor on
two charges-for illicit selling of
whisky, and carrying con-
cealed weapon. 1t cost the,
young man between eighty and
ninety dollars. The imprison-
ment and fine are the most res
pectable features of the affair.
The idea of making money dis.
honestly and not being caught
and punished, stands with some,
perhaps, as being somewhat
proper, or, at any rate, passes
as respectable.
The other young man moved
on to Ackerman, where he piled
his avocation, and was danger
ously shot by the town marshal,
Saturday night while resisting
attempting to make good his es.
cape.
These young men, it is said,
came from the best of families,
and no doubt that is true. 1t is
too true that many of our worst
criminals come from the best of
families.
These two young men dressed
and bore themselves as real
gentlemen in their associations
on the streets and among the
lawabiding people.
It is not a safe rule for one to
measure their virtues by that Of
another, nor their vices. These
are young men and let those who
are strong in virtue and knowl-
edge help them. They may
make good strong and useful
men. 1t IS better for them to
have met with seeming reverses
now than later IN life.

Surroundings. In,no country have

the class OF natures nobility. This
rs particularly noticeable in the min

infant settlements, like Rawhide "a

standard

stared rudely or committed single
action in bad taste. I should say this
is their particular attributC-that
fine quality of good taste which in
England we associate with the thlgn-
est breeding.
Not a soul was drunk, and al
though they were splitting on the
floor in the saloon and the air was
thick with tobacco smoke, no one
was offensive; not an atom of the
smell that there would be among
English worlmen massed together
The types thrilled me- Infinitely
better bred looking than any / have
seen anywhere else in America, and
some extraordinarily good looking.
The Sheriff presented numbers to our
party at the dance hall They were
absolutely respectful, but more like
the homage of courtiers to a. queen
than any other form of subservience
they were mostly in the miner dress,
but with beautifully clean shirts AMI
hands, and they might all have been
princes and dukes by their manners
These camps are the only place n
America where | have yet found real
equality-that is, it is the man who
counts, not any position or anything
in the world but his personal merit
Their Dancing Poetry of Notion"
The floor of the dance hall was
crowded with every type of the min
ing community, two-third splendid
faces and figures, just glorious men:
the other third dwindling from an
ordinary assortment of Fasteners
to really low type Mexicans. In al
| this heat and exercise not the slight

tian," like there would be even in a
clean cottage in England, and among
the dozens who were presented, not
one had a trace of awkwardness.

premely vulgar way of ordinary peo-
pie at home, or even in New York.
One tail miner was the image Of
our Winston Churchill, and had all
the easy nonchalance of bearing of d
Beau Brummei. This quality is tue
most striking, the perfect ease Of
courtly gentlemen. It is difficult to
give a good description of the air
and atmosphere. Not the least bit

Seven Men. Seven RevoIvers--Why?
One scene impressed me deeply.
L was in private room Of "a saloon,
where seven men were playing very
high at poker; and when the bar
tender went to cupboard to get out
more checks, we saw seven revolyers
pointing from it. ! asked why this
was. and the proprietor explained
that on occasions when the play was
as high as that they often ended IN
shooting at each other. He had 10

guns up" before they began, 1t was
the grimmest sight one could sec.
Another interesting incident was lis
teninS to the preliminary trial of 4
man who had shot another for peep
ing into his tent. About fifty men
were collected in the tiny shack,
which served as courthouse, all more
or less in shirts and high boots and
corduroys, and most splendid crea-
lures most of them were! Three
among them were the most complete
specimens of what we call breeding
in England, that indescribable ball
ance of line and slenderness, exem-
plified in a race horse--lithe and lis
some, and their threats coming from
the unfettered blue flannel shirts,

Other types were like English sail

which was curious They behaved
with the usual courtly politeness, and
might have been the Elton eleven in

All this goes to prove that fighting
with nature to get rich does not de-
grade the type like fighting to Guido
some one else in Wall street. These
men are as much above the thickset.
