When Mark Twain was Pocket Minin

ht was n Othtt 4FhttAfnz
With Steve ellis, a printer of whom
he was fond. Mark Twain went up
into CalaFefas county to a cabin on
Jackass hill, where Steve's brother
Jim, a loYeable, picturesque charac-
ter (the Truthful James of Bret
! Harte), owned mining claims. Mark
decided to spend his vacation IN
pocket mining and soon added that
science to his store of knowledge. 1t
was "a h%alycon, happy three months
that he fingered there. One day with
Jim ellis he was following the specks
of gold hat led to a pocket some
where up the hill when a chill, dreary
rain set in. Jim was washing and
Clemens was carrying water. The
color" became better and better as
they assembled, and ellis, possessed
with the mining passion. would have
gone on regardless of the rain. Glenn
ems, however protested and declar-
ed hal each pail of water was his
last. Finally he said in his deliber-
ate, drawing fashion:
Jim, l won't carry any more
water. This work Is too d~isagreeable.
Let's go to the house and wait till 1t
clears up"
ellis had just taken a pan of
earth.
Bring one more pail, SAM" he
pleaded.
u won't do 1t, Jim. Not a drop.
Not If | knew there was a million
dollars in that PAN"
They left the pan standing there
and went over TO Angels camp, which
was neare than their own cabin. The
rain kept on. and they sat around the
grocery and barroom smoking and
telling stories TO pass the time.
Meanwhile the rain had washed
away the top of the pan of earth left
standing on the slope of Jackass hill
and exposed a handful of nuggets
pure gold. Two strangers had come
along and, observing ii, had sat down
to wait until the thirty day claim
noticed posted by Jim ellis should
expire. They did not mind the rain
not with that gold in sight-and
the minute the thirty days were up
they followed the lead a few pans
further and took out $4,000 in all.
1t was a good pocket. Mark Twain
missed 1t by one pail of water.

Lady Constance Stewart Richard

danced W. here some time ago, has
offended Queen Mary" said a Wash

queen to stand out of the light at a
picture exhibition.
Lady Constance, you know, is
capable of anything. They are tell
ing an anecdote about her at the
Bath Club.
She was walking in Picadilly the
other day-so the anecdote runs
and a young mar attempted to pass
her on the right, when she also turn
ed that way. The young man then
veered to the left. and they stood for
a minute or more, overcome by that
ridiculous something which makes
two people. face to face on a wide
sidewalk, dodge simultaneously this
way and that without being able to
pass each other by.
Lady Constance, after nine or ten
of these awkward movements, smiled
demurely and said:
"'Well, I'm sure if you want to
dance, l don't MINDFUL what's il
to be, the turkey trot or the grizzly
bear?'"

The Evening Prayer.

In the twilight of my days,
In the evening of the years.
Life unto my s%addened gaze
Seems a vision yelled in tears.
All the knowledge fades away
That l yainly thought to keep;
AS a little child | pray;
Nov I lay me down to sleep"
/ have wandered far from Thee
Since that childish prayer / said,
And the lips that taught it me
Have been gathered to the dead;
Yet her face / seem to see
When the evening shadows creep,
And again, as at her knee,
Pray Thee. Lord. my soul to keep
Softly fades the lingering light;
Loi the last beam leaves the skies;
And | watch, amid the night,
For the evening star to rise.
Far beyond the bounds Of space ,
| may drift ere day shall break;
Let ME see my mothers face
If | die before | wake,
Darkness grows the gathering gloom
While my soul its vigil keeps
While the memories that loom
Up from Life's unsounded deeps.
When upon a sunless strand
! shall hear the surges break,
Ere near the Nameless Land.
Pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take,

The nervous strain under which the

when he preached TO women only,
tired him out and he announced dur.

preach long but would be in his old
time form for the evening sermon.
The flood scare did not effect the

Owing to the high water at Martins
