CALIFORNIA JOE'S JOKE ON THE
 SOLDIER BOYS

California Joe was a man of mys' tery. His real name is unknown, some saying it was Joseph Milmer, and oth- CTS asserting it was Hawkins. What ever it may have been made little diff ference in his fame, for his title of California Joe was known from Can ada to Mexico, and from the Missouri river to the Pacific coast. One of the traits of this quaint old scout was his fondnesS for practical joke, and many q long days march in the Indian campaigns was made lighter for the officers he served by one of his pranks.
 One time during the Sioux war of 1876, while he was scouting for Col. AnsOn Mills. he discovered an old grave along the trail. Joe stopped, took off his hat and bowed his head reverently. The soldiers immediately did the same and asked him the req son for his act.
 This here is the grave of poor Amos Billings" said Joe. "He was with mo back in 1886 when we dug gold in the Black Hills. We got so much that we had all our pockets full, and even our mules wuz loaded to tn las pound. One night we camped right on this spot, and thet night poor Amos took the cramps Lordy! how he did suffer is awful for me to think on now. We done all We could but the poor feller died thet night.
 We all had all tn gold we could carry, so we jest buried Billings dust with him, includin' what his mule wu7 carryin', fer we didn't think we haC any right to take it. Poor Amos Bill lings! Here's one more tear to moist en your grave"
 That night the soldiers took spades and rushed to "poor Amos Billings " grave. They dug and dug. After go ing down 10 feet they found some ole bones but no gold. Poor Amos Bil lings" never existed except in the i'm agination of California Joe, and when the tired soldiers came struggling into camp, his only comment was: What 'fernal fools these fellers be-"
 He next became 8 trapper and worked for Old Jim Bridger until 1851, when he went to Oregon on q hunting expedition. At the outbreak of the Civil war he joined the Unior army as scout and was one of Der dams sharpshooters in Virginia. He drifted West again and became the favorite scout of General Custer who made him chief of scouts in the Wash ita campaign in 1867.
 After scouting for Crook in the campaign of 1876, Joe became min CT in the Black Hills and was killed there by an unknown assassin Decem' Der 5, 1876.

pite the fact Of the snow and freez-
ing weather Of the early spring dam
aging the vines, packers this week
predicted one OF the largest pea
crops per acre that Delaware has
ever produced. Early in the spring
when the young pea shoots we're just
breaking through the ground, the
frigid temperature turned the vines
yellow, and many thought the crop
stunted or ruined. but the wet
weather OF the past few weeks has
been Just to their liking and the
vines now are in the best condition
with a large yield assured.
The Stetson- Ellison factory at
Houston. anticipating a large crop
has placed hullers through the coun-
try which VIII take a great deal OF
the rush away from the factory and
prevent long hauls for the farmers.
The peas will be transported from
the hullers to the factory in trucks
