Bill of Fare From
Days Of FOrty-Nine

n echo of the good old days
during the 40 gold excitement in
California was heard yesterday
when S. M. Callan received from a
friend in Calaveras county, his
home place, a well preserved copy
of a bill of fare of the Ell Dorado
Hotel at Placerville, showing what
the early miners had to eat, and
what they had to put up for it..
The scales mentioned were for
weighing gold dust. Some of the
prices would make even the stiff
rates in Goldfield's palmy days look
ashamed. The Ell Dorado was run
by NJ. Elstner. The menu follows:

and see the lamb and the girl dancing.
"Oh. what a silly girl!'' said the wo-
man, and, running iout of her mousse,
she cried: "Go home and behave your
self, you foolish girl. know you; you
are Neighbor Joachim's daughter ana
[ know we'll he would not have you
1ancing in the street with a foolish
lamb"
Nevertheless the lamb and the girl
kept right on dancing and this so an
gered the woman that she took the
bread dough which she had been about
to put in the oven and struck the glrl
over the shoulders with 1t.
Then strange thing happened. for
the dough stuck to the girl and the
woman to the dough and the lamb car
ried them all off.
After they had gone ON a little far
Their with this strange procession tney
came to a church. Here the lad began
to play, the lamb began to dance ana
on the lambs fleece the girl, and on the
girls back the dough. and al. the end
of the dough the woman. Then the
priest was coming from his house and,
seeing what was going on, began 10
scold them and bid them go home and
not be so foolish. AS words were OF
no avail he hit the woman a sound
whack on her back with his cane, when
to his surprise the cane stuck to the
woman and he to the end of the cane.
With this nice company the lad went
on and toward dark reached the royal
borough and took lodgings at the end
of the town for the night with an old
woman. what news Is there?" said
he The old woman told him they were
in very great sorrow, for the kings
daughter was very i'll and that no ply
stefan could heal her.
what can be the matter?" said the
lad.
''Well," said the old woman. 'if she
could be made to laugh she would be
better at once. but no one has been
able to make her smile.
Moreover" said the old woman, "the
king himself had issued that very day

The LAMB WITH GOLDEN
FLEECE HAS ODD POWER

n nee upon a time in the land of
~ Hungary there was poor man
" who had an only son who was
very good and very fond of doing an
that he could to help his father.
SO finally one spring day the father
said my boy, it is pretty hard trying
to make enough out of the woods to
care for two of us through the long
winter. Besides you are now growing
up and / do not want to think OF your
leading the same hard, sad existence
that | have. This wood is too far from
the great world for happiness, and so l
think YOU should go away from home
Los Angeles herald., 1909-04-11

and begin to look about you with the
hopes of getting a better time out OF
life than ever your father has done.
VERY well. father" said the boy,
whose name was Johann and who was
very obedient.
Bidding all his old friends of the
forest good by and Swapping his KNAPP
sack, containing a little meal and a
flask of water, upon his back he start
ed out upon his journey to look for
work.
At last one day he met man who
agreed to give him a years employ
ment as shepherd So he went home
with the man without making any bar
gain as to what he was to receive for
his years work. and that night he had
a very good supper and went happily to
bed. At the end of the first day, if he
proved to be a promising shepherd, it
was decided that he was to make a
bargain as to what wages he was to
get for the year.
Early the next day his master gave
him a flute and sent him. out with the
sheep to see whether he was fit for his
Los Angeles herald., 1909-04-11

work. The lad did not lie down all
day, very unlike many lazy fellows.
He drove his sheep from place to place
and played his flute all day long. There
was among the sheer O lamb with
golden fleece, which, whenever he
played his flute. began % dance. Inc
lad became very fond of this lamb and
made up his mind not to ask any
wages of his master, but only this little
lamb In the evening he returned home,
his master '~aited at the gate and
when he saw the sheep all there and
all we'll fed he was very pleased and
began to bargain with the lad, VINO
said he wished nothing but the lamb
with the golden fleece. The farmer was
WY fond of the lamb himself and 1t
was with great unwillingness he prom
ised it. But afterward when he saw
what good servant the lad made he
was satisfied with his bargain. the
year passed away, the lad received the
lamb for his wages and set off home
with 1t. AS they journeyed night set
in just as he reached village; so he
went to a farm house to ask for
nights lodging. There was daughter
in the house who when she saw the
Los Angeles herald., 1909-04-11

lamb with the golden fleece determined
she would get the lamb for herself.
About midnight she arose and went
to get the lamb, but to her surprise
the moment she touched 1t she stuck
hard and fast to its fleece. She pulled
and tugged and tugged and pulled, but
she couldn't get away; so that when
the lad got up he found her stuck to
the lamb. He could not separate them
and 50 he decided that as he wasn't
willing to lose the lamb the best thing
was for him to take them both with
him and to get away before anyone
raised a commotion about this strange
occurrence. So he started out, drag
ging the lamb after him, the lamb, in
turn, dragging the girl.
AS he passed the third door from the
house where he had spent the night he
took out his flute and began to play.
Then the lamb began to dance, and
since she could not free herself from
the lamb the girl had to dance, too.
Just around the corner a woman was
putting bread in the oven of her kitch-
en-. The door of the kitchen was open
and the woman happened to look up

made her laugh should have her for
his wife and share the royal power.
The lad with the lamb could scarcely
wait until daylight. so anxious was he
to try his fortune. for he was perfectly
sure that his golden lamb would help
the melancholy little princess back to
happiness. even If everything else had
failed her.
In the morning he presented himself
to the king and was graciously re-
ceived. The unhappy princess sat
there in her robes of state, but looking
so melancholy that even light-hearted
Johann could hardly keep from crying.
However, nothing daunted, the lad
began to play the flute the lamb to
dance, on the lambs fleece the girl on
the girls back the dough. at the end of
the dough the woman, on the woman's
back the cane and at the end of the
cane the priest. When the princess
saw this sight she burst out laughing,
which made the lamb so glad that II
shook everything off its back and the
lamb the girl, the woman and the
priest all danced for joy.

CHINA OR WAX?

Said the Wax Doll TO the China Doll:
II don't think much of you.
Your cheeks they are SO very hard.
Your eyes so pale blue;
And then you are so very stiff
But what else can you be,
Just made in China? Don't you wish
That you were wax like me?"
Said the China Doll to the Wax Doll:
mo doubt it's very true
That my cheeks are a little hard.
My eyes too pale blue;
At least I'm warranted TO wear,
And this you must have felt,
That when I'm placed before the fire,
At least shall not melt"
