BEGINNINGS in what was then a country of hardship
and peril where such as hc tcamscrs and packers
were the only means of communication between lso-
lated mining camps in the tortuous, twisted, rugged
mountains. In time, by bout or brawl, drought or
drink they, the ralmcn, disappeared, and only Death
made note OF their cndngs. Yet, forever CHEEKY for
ever frugal forever indomitablc and forever honest
Joe Barnes lived on.
There were still few Of those who had mined back
there in the hills. who could remember when Joe made
his first essay into commercial ventures; could remem
bcr the rambling log structure he built in a camp al
ready well established and the somewhat mcagcr stock
h which ne started his General Store. Almost
legendary was the tale Of that heroic struggle between
the cx-packcr and the big commercial company that
had regarded the field as peculiarly its own, whose
manager promised TO send Joe back 70 his burro trln
broke within a sxmonth; but by frank honesty, an
indcfatigablc cndcavor please, and tirccs patience
under vicissitudc the latter kept on.
Il was in the time Of his and the camps prosperity
that Joe Barnes married. No one ever understood
why, unless it was possible that the simple candid
man with the searching eyes something IN the
woman Of his choice that others might not see, some
attribute of soul to which others blind; for his
bride was the last that would have been selected for
physical beauty OF face or form. Her birthplace
the West her parcntage obscure and her one command
ing attribute an unfatcring fidelity TO the man who
had found her struggling for an honest living as
mcnia in the old adobe city where he bought his sup
plies Childcss though they remained, he seemed
somehow to dignity her when he addressed her as
"Maw,' and the camp too came to express something
respect and affection when it spoke of her Mary
Ann. Ugly OF face, squat Of body, heavy handed,
though she was, there died in many quarters of the
earth in later years those who remembered her
angel Of kindness who unosentatiously devoted her

THE camp climbed to its apex and heyday Of activ-

then slipped gently 20 the other side and the IN
evitablc decline Prosperous and vcnturcsomc spirits
with scarcely less means than Joe Barnes racd away
with their winnings 10 enter other fields. Some came
10 grief others 10 millions; some inflated and burst;
Others expanded to become prominent characters IN
the great money marts-domnant, austcrc, torgctul,
and lonely. Some Of them departing from that camp
high up the Scrras, tried 20 induce Honest joe TO
seek other fields: but his answer characteristic:

anything but a golden glow; but his splendid, kindly

CLEANED THE DOCS BUGG.
Which Was Not What Boys Intended
to Do, but That Was the End
of the Adventure.

Il remember" said Uncle Josh, who
had just finished hearty dinner and
was in the humor for telling yarn.
Il remember one balmy day in July
when the other boys and / decided to
steal old Doc Hoffum's horse and
buggy and drive to the river to go
swimming. Doc was visiting at our
house that day, and it looked easy to
us to drive two miles over to the
river and get cooled OF and then
bring the horse and buggy back before
the old man missed them.
There were a good many of us
and we were not dressed very fine
Slim, for example, was attired in a
long linen buster that Topped out be-
hind. The springs allowed us to bump
pretty hard, there being so many pas
sengers, but we got to the river safe
iy.
Eve had bully swim, but Slick
said he thought we ought to wash the
buggy while We were there. The way
to do it, he said was to run the buggy
into the river.
1--WE unhitched the horse and pro-
ceeded to back the buggy into the
water. But the buggy got away from
us, and away it went, much further
than we expected. We couldn't hold
it and SO it disappeared entirely. A
couple of bubbles came up and that
was all!
buggy the horse got away, and we all
took after him. We chased hin,
around a clump of trees, half of us
on one side and half on the other to
head him off. Both parties rounded
the clump of trees at the same time
and ran plump into camp meeting
mostly women!
Eve let the horse go then end by
that time we had forgotten where we
left the buggy"
Il suppose some one stole all your
clothes while you were gone" sug
gested the man from Topeka.
NO." said Uncle Josh, I'VE found
our clothes, and from their position
on the bank we figured out where the
buggy ought to be. One of the caml
meeting people brought the horse
back and we got a rope from him ant
dived around until. we got the rope
tied to the buggy. Then we got il
out on the bank. That is the only
| time Doc Hoffum's buggy was evel
clean!"
Didn't it hurt the buggy" asked
the man from Topeka.
Didn't harm a thing but tn,
| squeak. The bath utterly destroyed
| that. Old Doc Hoffum often wonder
| ed what had become Of the squeak
for he missed it badly. The hors,
/ missed it, too. 1t was good, soothing
| sound that the two Of them were &C
customed to doze by as they Joyce,

Mexicans in Mexico City showed
their spite by overthrowing and
dragging through the streets a
statue of George Washington, which
was set up during the presidency of
their greatest man, Benito Juarez,
almost fifty years ago. There never
has been a Mexican big enough to
have a statue outside his own coun-
try-if there was statue of Juarez
in Washington, we can't imagine
Americans being childish enough to
modest it. During the American rev.
olution, statue of King George in
Philadelphia was pulled down, but
that was because it was made of.lead,
and the patriots wanted the metal
to run into bullets.

Another reason alleged for Mr.
Stockton's refusal to meet Senator
Fletcher on the stump is that Mr.
Stockton's managers know he can
control his temper, and if angered in
debate he would say things that
would damage his chances for cleo
ton. This is very bad reason, in
deed. If Mr.. Stockton can't control
his temper on the platform in Flor
ida, where his audiences would be
made up partly of his personal
friends and entirely of men who
would treat him with respect, he
would make a mighty poor show at
taking care of state or party inter-
ests in the United States Senate,
where his weakness would soon be-
come known and his opponents
would lose no opportunity to take
advantage of.

President Wilson sending troops

A tiny bouquet of sapphire blue for
get-me-nots and button roses is tucked
in at the waist by way of a finishing
touch, and a strand of pearls in the
length which fashion requires is worn
at the neck. There is plain fold Of
chiffon under the edges Of the bodice
where 1t opens at the front.
The hat is a gold-colored leghorn
draped with sapphire blue chiffon on
the underbrim. with trimming of pink
roses and grasses The blue chiffon
over the yellow braid gives greenish
tone which is repeated in the silk used
for the foundation of the muff. Over
this the blue chiffon is draped in full
puffs with twists Of darker blue vel
vet between them and a big pink rose
with its foliage mounted at the front.
This combination of color is very
unusual, is entirely new, and beautiful.
The hat is wide brimmed with a very
low round crown. The muff does away
with the necessity for flowers, and
would make a splendid gift if the bride
is disposed to remember her maids
so literally.

How would you like to have pussy

burst into my den with great fuzzy
wuzzy bunch Of "kitty-katkins." Just
the thing for this season, so hurry up
and tell your big and little readers"
she continued. So get ready right
away, but first you must find your pus-
sizes. l am sure the neighborhood chill
dren will be glad to supply you. am
taking it for granted that you live in
the country where they grow and in
the city the ever uptodate and
obliging florist will supply them.
Decorate brownish cards with water
color pussy willows, or they may be
done in pen and ink or sepia tints, just
stiff little spray at the top. few
branches in tall vases and jars will be
all the flowers required. with a wee
branch for each guest to take home
pinned to her coat.
If you should want to give this party
for children, try this pastime, which
they will enjoy and perhaps your
grown.up guests would like it, too.
Draw mammoth branch Of pussy
willow on sheet with charcoal or on
a large square of paper, then give each
one a tissue paper catkin or some bit
Of paper to be so called, blindfold one
at time and see who can pin the cat
kin nearest to the branch or right on

If you think it advisable real live kit

this idea with discretion, for some
mothers do not approve of cats. Serve

try an orange and Bermuda onion

Harmonious Baskets.

Scrap baskets are very often only a
Disagreement in a room, but there is
no reason why they should not be as
pretty as any other piece of furniture.
1t Is quite an easy matter to cover
one of the oblong scrap baskets, both
inside and out. with soft silk, lightly
plated to give suggestion of full.
ness. the color to be in harmony.
Over the upper portion of the out
side OF the basket should be draped
some very pretty fine lace, which
should also extend about one inch in
side the basket. Across this lace some
garlands Of tiny flowers can be hung,
caught up at each corner and at the
center Of the back and front with pref
ty tassels.
Some fine embroidery just at the top
of the stand, to keep the folds of the
silk In place, and very narrow edging
of lace right at the bottom, will give
the basket just the final touch that ia
required to finish a most useful and
decorative piece of furniture.
