Feast a kings banquet would not be
in It, not for q minute. l met at the
clambake Mr.. Frank Stevens, whom
i had known intimately in Sacran1en-
TO as president of the California Stage
company. while I was the conductor
on the Sacramento Valley railroad,
and as we had not seen each other
for a quarter OF a century, you'd bet
ter believe our coming together so
unexpectedly created quite an excite
ment for since his return to his ma
tive state he had become a power in
the land by reason of his great wealth
and his warm, open-heerted genlality.
The successor Of Mr. Stevens as
president OF the stage company was
Mr.. James Heyworth. and 1t was dur
ing Mr.. HeywOrth's administration
that an agent who was familiarly
known as Blaze" was found to be
short eighteen hundred dollars in his
accounts with the company. Now,
Blaze" was a jolly, harum-
fellow, and weighed something over
three hundred pounds. When the de-
ficiency was discovered there was a
meeting of the directors called, and
after reviewing the case and discuss
dng the good qualities Of Blaze,
and the benefit he had been to the
company is keeping off opposition and
other ways it was decided TO let him off

Heyworth was delegated to visit him
at his Office in Nevada and inform
him Of this decision. He did 50, and
when they met and exchanged greet

books and find you are short eighteen

"Blaze," and with moistened eyes and

THE LONG AGO AND THE LATER ON.
An Experience Of Eighty Years of Life.
ssY GEORGE TrsDALE BRoMLEY,a,

Quite a while after this Blaze" was
running liquor saloon near the no.
tel at Grass Valley, when Artemus
Ward. the humorist, gave an enter
tainment in the town, and the morn
ing after the show, as he was about
getting on board the stage he was
accosted by Blaze" with the ques-
ton:
rs this Mr.. Ward %
Yes was the reply.
We'll, here is your BILL" said
4 have just settled my BILL" said
Ward.
'oh, that was you hotel bill" said
Blaze" This IL a bill for two and
half for drinks"
Il haven't had any," said Mr.. Ward
II can't help that" said Blaze"
That's my saloon next door, and the
drinks were there for you. and IL you
didn't drink them 1t wasn't my fault,
fore getting on the stage" And the
famous humorist, after gazing with
feelings of awe upon the ponderoua
proportions of the bill collector, paid
it without a murmur.
While on the stage the passengers
related so many anecdotes about
Blaze" that Mr.. Ward became quite
interested in him and related the
foregoing true aneodote In his his
tory. His comical way Of telling II
would invariably bring down the
house. My dear readers, please ex-
curse this depression, for l was I'M

Its Sunshines and Shadows
Sorrow is better than laughter: for
by the sadness of the countenance the
heart Is made better."-Eccles, 7:fh.
I hold not that sorrow than laughter
is better for man:
The storm-clouds that darken the
heavens
Than rainbovs that span
All, rather the skies IN their shining
Than dreary with rain.
And the heart that is hghfsome In
gladness
Than heavy with pain
There are thorns In the smoothest OF
pathways
Enough and to spare;
No wheatfieh 50 carefully tended
That knows not the tare,
But the harvester gathers the harvest
In the gold Of Its sheaves,
And the briar Is forgot of the branches
In the laugh Of their leaves.
AhI Welcome the face that Is shining
With kind thoughts of cheer;
The voice in its merriment ringing
The laughter bells clear.
May their melody linger about him,
And the seed he has sown,
OF joy in the heart fields Of others,
Find bloom In his own.

Some eight and forty years have gone
Since you-just home from sea-
Sat, dandling, on one summer morn
An infant on your knee;
And as the youngster danced with JOY
And babbled, babyiike,
They said, TN this uneasy boy
Behold your brother Ikel"
And now that almost fifty years
Have left on both their trace
I bring you, as 1t now appears,
That dimpled baby's face.
The ceaseless flow Of time and tide
Has touched US both alike

Behold your brother Ike!

Banks Pay
Much Cash
Banks ef Beach Disbufse Over Half
Million Dollars for Grain, and
Will Pay Out as Much More

Have you any idea Of the IMPORT
ance of Beach as a grain market?
When the Chronicle, a few weeks
ago, made the claim that Beach
this year would be the largest
primary grain receiving station in
the United States, there were many
who thought the statement a bold
one, to put it mildly.
Other places in this and other
states vigorously disputed the claim
but we still are confident that
Beach will make good our pre-
diction.
The disbursements of the three
banks Of this city on grain checks
exclusively this season up to last
Saturday night aggregated the tidy
sum of $776. .82l.00, and when it
is considered that a large amount
of grain is still unthreshed, and
that vast quantities of oats and
wheat are being held for better
prices, the Chronicles wild claim
doesn't appear 50 very wild, after
all.

Change Of Lyceum Number

The local management of the Lec-
ture Course has been informed
that, owing to the change in the
train schedule, it will be impos-
sible for DR.. Hedley to meet his
appointment in Beach on Nov.
9th. as announced. Instead the
Bureau has arranged to send Ellis
worth Plumstead, a noted char
acter delineator and impersonator.
to Beach Saturday evening, Dec.
18th.
The course, however, loses moth
ing by this change, as Mr.. Plum
stead is higher priced man and
appears regularly only in the
larger cities. He comes to Beach
direct from Bismarck, where he
has been called the second time by
the management Of the course in
that city.

Eight Contestants Already En-

Fine Field Of Workers Have Commenced to Dig |n" but There Is
You Want to Ride in that Auto Or Play that Piano

Interest is increasing in our big,
auto-piano contest and voting
coupons have commenced to come
in from all quarters. Up to the
time of going to press eight con-
testans have entered through their
own efforts or that of their friends,
and in another week we expect
that this number will be doubled.
The prizes are worth the effort,
and realizing this, there will be
some lively rivalry before many
weeks.
Fourteen firms have Joined hands
with the Chronicle to make this
contest success and help pay for
the great prizes which are being
given away. At all the stores
given below persons making cash
purchases are entitled to voting
coupons which can be placed to
the credit of anyone who is in the
contest, or anyone who would like
to enter Aside from the mer-
chants. the publisher gives voting
coupons on all money paid on sub
scription or new advertising. The
voting power of the coupons is
sued by the publisher is greater
than those issued by the merchants
and for this reason all the con-
testants should put forth their
efforts in securing subscriptions
to the paper and at the same
time they can tell their friends
to have the coupons placed to
their credit when making cash
purchases at the stores.
The contest is given for the sole
purpose of increasing our circula-
tion, and therefore we give a
bigger vote for subscriptions
than is given by the merchant.
It therefore stands to reason that

greatest effort toward increasing

Remarkable Record Of City Real Es.

there is no present sign of sur

owner Of the Beach townsitc, in
formed a Chronicle reporter this
morning that the above figures
represent the aggregate consider
alton for city real estate deals
made by her since the 18th day
of September.
The actual value Of the property
involved in the several deals is,
of course, much more than the
figures express, for prices are
going upward by leaps and bounds,
and we venture the assertion that
not one Of the lot purchasers
would dream Of selling at the
original price.
Mrs. Richards is a remarkable
business woman, possessing a
thorough knowledge of land values
in the Golden Valley. and of city
property in particular. No man
in this region is shrewder or better
posted on business methods. She
is the busiest woman in Beach-as
busy as any man dares be-and is
a firm believer in Beach and the
Golden Valley.

our number of subscribers will
have the best show of getting the
automobile. By working the sub
scription end, contestant can kill
two birds with one stone: as they
can solicit support through the
stores at the same time.
Contestants must remember that
the merchants take no part in the
contest, and they should never be
solicited for support, but instead
go to the people who do the buy
ing; they have the say as to whom
their votes should go to when maxi
ing purchases.
Those who have been thinking
of entering and have not done so,
should send in their names at once
or have someone nominate them
when making a purchase at one of
the stores. The contest will not
close until January and there is
plenty of time to give anyone who
has already entered a run for their
money. Remember, too, there
are two prizes, and they are just
what we say they area $3.50 tour
ing car and a $500 upright piano.
AS soon as the auto arrives it will
be placed on exhibition in the new
hall now under construction. and
the date of closing the contest an
nounced. The piano is now on
exhibition at the Beach Implement
Company's office.

Beach May Have Two Depots

Agent Cooper says that it is not
without the range of possibilities
for Beach to have two stations
when the change is made in the
spring. Supt. johnson has taken
up the matter with the general
Superintendent, and will use his
utmost endeavors to secure for
Beach a handsome, properly ar
ranged station for passengers and
baggage only, with another depot
for freight, capable Of being en-
larged as the business of the place
demands.
Supt. johnson is very much en-
Unused over the monthly showings
which the Beach station has made
this year, and feels that conces-
sions are due the town.
Should the project go through.
Beach will be the smallest town
on the N. P. system, probably,
to have separate depots. But
Beach is growing fast every minute
and will continue its growth for
several years to come.
