persons he interviewed was the leader

played too well. 1t isn't profitable
not to me, at any rate-to play too
well in place of this kind. Extraor-

course, something bright and catchy,

Bunyan's Sharp Answer.

John Bunyan wrote "The Pilgrims
Progress" in Bedford Jail, where he
was confined for his religion. A
Quaker came to the prison and thus
addressed him:
Friend Bunyan, the Lord hath sent
me to seek for thee, and l have been
through several countries in search Of
thee, and now am glad l have found
thee"
Bunyan replied: Friend, thou
dost not speak truth in saying the
Lord sent thee to seek for me, for
the Lord we'll knows that l have been
in this Jail for some years, and If He
had sent thee He would have sent thee
directly."-Scrap Book.

CALLABOOSES NEEDED
so SAY POLICEMEN

In discussing the question of calla-
booses with the Chief of Police Carl
bee he says they are very much
needed as long as the city. has no
Patrol wagon or police headquarters.
He says that during the past year
they put in at least 200 men in the
callaboose over night or temporarily,
say nothing of the 100 or more that
they committed to the county Jail.
He said it was just impossible for
them to drag men from one side of
the river to the other when they are
drunk or diSorderly. Suitable places
must be provided on either side of
the river and therefore two cement
block callaboOSeS are to be provided.
They say they are absolutely neces-
sary as the old ones have been con-
demned as unsuitable for II years.
In March last they handled and got
rid Of So tramps in one month and
some time the callaboose over the
river was full to OVERLOOKING.

RARE SIGHT IN '49
WOMAN'S- VISIT TO CALIFORNIA
MINING CAMP.
Gold Seekers Showed Practical Appre.
citation Of the Presence of
Female-Mace Up Large
Purse of Gold.

There were few women in the Cali.
forn1a mining camps in the old DAYS.
as is proved by the following incident
from the "reminiscences of former Sen.
ator William NJ. Stewart: Women
were SO scarce in California at that
time that this was sufficient to arouse
the whole camp. The boys as we
were called, were scattered along the
Coyote diggings for distance of about
four miles, and when anything unusual
happened the words oh, Joe,' would
be passed along the whole line. When
l saw the feminine raiment l raised
the usual alarm, oh, Joei' and this
called the attention of the miners on
Buckeye hills, where 1 was, to the
clothesline which had attracted my
notice. They gathered around on the
hill, nearly surrounding the covered
wagon and its contents. The rush of
the boys in the immediate vicinity to
see the wonderful sight attracted
those farther away, and in less than
ten minutes 1000 or 5000 young men
were anxiously watching the wagon.
~~oN~1OoAAAAS
In alarm the man that belonged to the
woman inside stuck his head out of a
small tent beside the wagon. l as
sured him that no harm vas intended,
but that we were very anxious to see
the lady who was the owner of the
clothes. This aroused her curiosity
sufficiently to induce her to pull the
nIJrfQ in <Nf he - 4,
face could be discovered, but not fully
seen.
Il then proposed that we make a
donation to the first lady that had hon.
ored our camp with a visit. l took
from my camp a buckskin bag, used
Tor the purpose of carrying gold, and
invited the boys to contribute. They
came forward with great eagerness,
and poured out Of their sacks gold
dust, amounting to between $4,000 and
$4,000. | then proposed to appoint a
committee to wait on the lady and
present it. The motion was ,unanf
mously carried, and one of the gentle
men appointed on the committee sug-
gested myself as chairman. 1 took
the sack of gold and went within about
80 feet of the tent, and made as good
speech as l could to induce the lady
to come out, assuring her that all the
men about her were gentlemen, that
they had seen no ladies for so many
months and that the presence of one
reminded them Of their mothers and
sweethearts at home. 1 told her that
the bag of gold was hers on condition
that she would come out and claim It,
Her husband urged her to be brave
but when she finally ventured out
about half way, the cheers were so
vociferous that she was scared and
ran back.
She repeated this performance sew
eral times, and l kept moving slowly
back far enough to get her away from
the little tent SO the boys could have
a good view of her. 1 suppose half an
hour was occupied with her running
back and forth whilst the boys looked
on In admiration, when l finally gave
her the bag, with all the good wishes
of the camp. She grabbed it and ran
into the tent like rabbit. The next
morning the wagon, oxen, man and
owner of the inspiring apparel were
gone, and we never heard of them in
after life"
