One Too Many Lodgers.

In the days when Colonel Charles
Edwards, former secretary of the
Democratic Congressional Campaign
Committee, was travelling for the
Onespoon Baking Powder company,
he reached a little Southern town on
one occasion when the only hotel
there was crowded. Edwards insist
ed he had to have a room for the
night, and the clerk finally told him
that there was m room he could
share with another man.
But" he concluded, you'll have
to sleep in the same bed with him"
Edwards agreed to this. and. as 1t
was late at night, went to the room
he thought had peer assigned to him.
He hastily prepared for bed and
quietly lay down beside his bed fell
low. Later in the night he awoke
and saw a man sitting at the foot of
the bed reading by the light of a can
die.

wards, sitting UT. "Are they going
to put a third fellow into this bed? p

Five months they have been pursu-

for 1t has brought them no practical
results. With them has returend the
faithful but ever melancholy compan-
ion of their wanderings, towit, their
pack mule. Unfortunately, the re-
cords in our news omits his name,
and omission is ~regretable because
the mule showed himself superior,
better man, better %prospector. Foot

ing men, even more deservedly foot
sore our fellow citiben this mule,
but not empty-hoofed. In safe though
inconvenient lodgment between coro-
net and pastern he has brought back
from the gold trail the proof of
wealth.
He developed a limp, the chroni-
clers of Gan Bernardino tell us. and
thus 1t was discovered that in his
hoof he had conceded a nugget "esti-
mated to be worth $500" Let us es-
innate also. With gold at $40 the
troy, that nugget must weigh 2
pounds and / ounce of value, with
out allowing a p~ennyweight to the
quartz gangue which must hold 1t.
No wonder the mule limped. Ii only
he had done as well with the other
hoofs, Fancy the pride of owner

How like a mule this is. IL 1t had
been a pebble of barren country rock

his woe and have taken no step until
the intrusive geology had been ex-
tracted. But when he stepped on
float and kicked up gold at the grass
roots he says a word until he
reaches such civilization as San Ber-
nardino affords. Then he reveals
his auiferous deposit and sets the
bipeds mad in the sacred famish of
Of gold. Somewhere there is gold
like pebbles, but 1t may be any part
Of five months back track on the trail
OF this mule who concealed his limp.
The wisdom of this mule has given
the desert one more lure of gold.

The Troubles of Adam.

The Rev. DR.. Charles Townsend of
Orange was one of the speakers at
the Park Presbyterian Church Mems
club banquet last week and told this
story of one of the troubles of the
original ancestor:
Adam had eaten the elaborate re-
past furnished by his helpmeet with
every indication that he relished
every morsel. He complimented her
upon the dainty manner in which the
bluepoints were served, the flavor Of
the PURGE of pea, the seasoning of the
fish and entree, and finally reached
a delicious salad. Adam paused, and
with a worried look on his face he
demanded of Eve where she found
the ingredients. She enumerated all
except the lettuce.
Where did you get those
leaves?' he demanded.
"'Why, they were lying on a bush
In the back yard she replied sweet
