1.-THE Woman and the Prospector," by
Packsaddle Bill, is the title of a little
book whose page-measurement is less
than that of a mans hand, while its
bulk would not noticeably bulge
waistcoat pocket. But packed between
the paper covers of this naive little
love story lies a priceless store of vi
tai truth, dug by our prospector-author
from the mine Of sound common sense,
and presented with all the directness
and acumen of a past-student of thera-
peutics and sanative philosophy.
The author tells-and tells with a
convincing air born of evident expert
ence-the story of young woman
smitten with that dread disease-tuber-
culosis. She is "given up" by the fam
lily physician-literally condemned to
death. Travelling in the vain and
rather listless hope Of prolonging her
life by at most a few months, she qult3
casually falls in with 1.-THE prospector."
His communings with nature in the
rough have taught him some salutary,
if hard, lessons undreamed of in the
medical colleges, or at best, only pc
ginning to be family apprehended
therein; and he imparts of his knowl-
edge to the consumptive girl.
The upshot is that she accompanies
him into the hills, where she under
goes a course of simple, healthy living,
with which is combined somewhat
rigorous regimen Of fasting, water
drinking and moderately hard work.
Her health is completly-and speedily
restored: and there are developments
which I will not give away but
leave the author himself to disclose.
suffice it to say that the booklet is a
useful one, written to benefit humanity
and not for profit. as the price of one
small dime bears witness.

pretty easy, he started in with extravagant living
until the wife seeing that money was being spent
in channels showing return, and realizing that
in time, they would have neither home nor money,
she persuaded the husband to give her part OF
what was left She Immediately invested this with
the Los Angeles Investment Company in her name,
and gave orders to have all the quarterly cash dlvl-
dends reinveSted in additional stock. The husband
did not know how the money had been invested,
as he was too busy spending what he had left. FL
nally he awoke to the realization that his money
was about gone, he was without home, except a
rented one, and without work
The foresight of the wife saved them from want,

bull might kill a good horse. (This
bull fighting is one of the biggest
farces anyone ever spent money to
see,) Well they kept this up until
they had killed three bulls, then came
in the fourth and four bull dogs and
they turned them loose on him, they
went after him chewed him for awhile,
then the bull would get mad and the
air would be full Of dogs for about
minute. They kept this up until the
dogs were about worried to death then
they called or pnlled them off and
chased the bull out of the ring Then
came a wrestling match and the crowd
was SO disguised that they commenced
to leave the building. Thus ended the
great bull fight. They announced be-
fore the entertainment commenced,
that on next Sunday they would match
q grizzly bear and Bengal tiger
against two bulls. The audience was
composed of we'll dressed ladies and
gentlemen, mean those from the
U. S. and all the grand stand was all
occupied by the Americans and the
Greasers occupied the cheap seats.

Sometimes the train runs along the

could learn its source is out of a
spring out OF the solid rock. When
you make this trip no matter at what
season of the year the weather is al

ride on the observation car you will
witness sights that you will never for

twelve Pulimans and pulled by two
