: ROSE OF WASHOE, t
| BY M. QUAD.
0 corntiGHT, WOO, nv c. N J.EWIK A
IFL«>SC»ASOSPSSOSOSGSBSF OI
One day in the early spring a pio
neer's wagon approached within a mile
of Black Illli diggings, and t rough
looking man got out and Krai :ed to
climb the trail. He was yet half a.
mile away when h<* fell down exhaust
ed, and half a dozen miners hurried
down to succor him. lie struggled up
before they reached him, and, waving
them back, he shouted:
"lion't come near me. for I've got
smallpox, but for Ood's sake bring me
some provisions! Me and my gal hev
not had a bite to eat fur these two
days'"
Smallpox was the dread of the
camps. Wncn a miner was taken
down with the loathsome disi-ase, he
was a good as dead. The miners stop
ped dead in their tracks ai they heard
the pioneer's words, and after a brief
consultation he was warned to remain
where he was while they returned and
gathered up a liberal lot of provisions.
These were placed on the trail, and
when lie bad picked them up they
threatened him with their pistols to
hurry him'away. The man neither re
turned thanks nor berated them fur
their seeming harshness. They saw
him reach his wagon, they saw him
feebly climb up beside n child on the
seat, and when the vehicle slowly roll
ed on they heaved sighs of relief. That
night Joe of Washoe arrived at Black
Hill. It wgs dark, with a cold rain fall
ing, when he heard of the incident of
the day. His face went stern and his
eyes grew hard as the story was told,
and when It was finished he rose up
and asked:
"Did the man say thar was a gal
with him
"Yes."
"And you saw her In the v.-agon?"
"Yes."
"And you drlv 'em off to die when
you could hev 'lowed 'em to camp at
the foot of the hill! If that's the kind
o' men you ar' at Black Ilill. I want to
git out quick."
"But it is smallpox," persisted one
of the men.
"More's the pity. Think o' that sick
man drivin away with that leetle gal
alongside o' him—drivin away to his
death! There may hev bin a wife and
mother—other children. Mebbe they
was dead In the wagon. Men, you did
a cruel, wicked tiling!"
"But think of the i) 0 men the small
pox took out o' the camp at Bed Rock
last fall!"
"But I ain't thlnkln <>' that I'm
tlilnkin o' a man drivin off to die, with
a leetle gul slttln up alongside <>' him!"
He packed up some provisions, rolled
up ids blankets,* and, picking up n wa
ter Jug and ills rifle, he said:
"I'm golfi to overhaul 'em and stand
by 'em unless I find lioth dead!"
A score of protests were hurled at
him, but the man stepped forth Into
the black night without a word In re
ply and almost instantly disappeared
from sight. At noon next day the wag
on reappeared. Joe of Washoe was
driving, nnd on the scat beside him was
a child. When the wagon halted, he
unharnessed and turned loose the
horses, made a lire, and then, climbing
half way up the hill, he called to the
men 20 rods above him:
"When I found the wagon last night,
the man was dead and the leetle gal
was prayln to Ood. Thar was a moth
er and two more children, but they ar'
dead. lion't come a nigh us. The leetle
gal's touched, and I'm sure to coroe
down I"
That night the fever came to the
child, and men who crept down the
trail heard her crying out and heard
Joe talking and singing to her. The
next day he reported her as dreadfully
sick, and so It went on for days and
days. It was time for him to develop
the disease, and each morning as the
men crept down the trail to leave pro
visions on the flat rock they feared he
would not show up. But, strangely
enough, the danger passed him by.
One morning, when he stood up on the
wagon with the girl In his arms, it was
taken as a sign that the crisis had
passed, and '■'•>»> men gathered on the
hill above and cheered the pair. It
was a week after that when he set (Ire
to the wagon, called for fresh clothes
mid came up the trail Into camp with
the girl wrappvd in a blanket. No
body was permitted even to see the tip
of her nose until she had been dressed
up as a boy from old garments cut
over. Then she was placed on the
head of a barrel in the center of camp,
and half the men cheered and the other
half wept. She was a girl of about 7,
pale and wan from her sickness, but
there was never a pit or a scar to show
how she had suffered. Ity that we
knew that Joe of Washoe had watched
over her with more than a father's
care. She was fatherless and mother
lew among strangers. Krlght and 111
tiess had HO benumbed her brain that
she could remember nothing, not even
the family nainc. She mid that they
had traveled for days and days, but
from whence she could not tell. The
one thing that she did remember was
thai her name was Rose, and she had
Insisted from the Unit Joe was
her uncle. |f wax queer to see this
pro. pector find miner, ibis man who
had fought I M and renegades and
kmc Iced iilioui through a hundred ad
ventures and was not supposed to have
a eoft spot about li 1111 I say It was
queer to see liotv he was knocked out
when the little girl kissed him and
called 111>11 her dear llliele Joe. He
looked MI sheepish and shamefaced
that we bad to turn onr fares away,
and I tell you In the same breath that
we also felt ashamed of ourselves I lint
we had left tluit father an I child to
drive away from our camp as we did.
In the mining camps a rase of small
pox meant Isolation, neglect and death.
The partner with whom you Imd work
ed and hungered and MIIITI 'or years
would lice from you In at the
flr>,t sign, and If a patient gol up and
walked about In ids delirium 110 band
was outstretched to prevent him from
stumbling over a clllf.
In our shame we gave Joe all the re
sped nnd admiration lie could ib-muml,
(iml It did us good to see the little one
take to >lllll ri III I realize that sis- owed
her young life to his heroic sacrifice
and fatherly care. As we crowded
around the pair llic child kuult down
on the barrel unil clasped her hands
nnd prayed:
"Mother is dead, and father is dead,
but Ood bless Uncle Joe and everybody
else!"
A good many of us turned our heads
away at that, and, to our surprise, we
found that years In the camps hadn't
turned our hearts quite as hard as the
quartz among which we labored. I
caught a glimpse of Joe of Washoe
shutting his teeth hard together and
looking up at the clouds, and 1 won
dered if he was more strongly affected
when he charged a camp of five out
laws single handed and left three of
them lying dead for the sheriff to bury.
That evening we had a public meet
ing on the public square, and Judge
Watkins hushed the crowd to silence
and said:
"Thar will be fustly, secondly and
thirdly in these remarks o' mine. The
fustly is that if Joe Washoe will ac
cept this yere airth we'll gladly buy it
fur him; secondly, the gal has got to
hev another name, and I'm fur callin
her Rose o' Washoe; thirdly, she's an
orphan, and Black Hill diggin's is goin
to adopt her and provide fur her and
be the biggest kind o' father to her.
Now, then, let every critter give three
cheers and yell his loudest!"
A mouih later, when Kose of Washoe
was sent to the states to be properly
cared for, the sum of SI,OOO went with
her. She was brought out and stood
on the same barrel again, and 300 men
filed before her and shook hands nnd
said goodby. Joe of Washoe came
last. He lifted her up in his artns and
kissed her and patted her bead, and
her voice was broken with sobs as she
said:
"Cod bless all, but God bless Uncle
Joe most of anybody!"
When she was lifted to the saddle to
ride away, Joe turned his back and
seemed to be gazing off over the foot
hills. The crowd cheered and cheered,
but he was mute. As the girl disap
peared from sight down the trail some
one asked:
"What the blazes Is the matter with
Joe that he don't yell with us?"
"Hush, you fool!" cautioned Big Jim.
"Fall back, all of you! He'll be turnln
purty soon to catch a last glimpse o'
the gal, and it might shame him if we
saw the tears in his eyes and knowed
that his heart was swelled to bustin
over her goin away!"
lioiv Frozen Mini DetvriurnlM.
Meats frozen and kept iu cold storage
for long periods do not undergo organic
changes In the ordinary sense—that is,
they do not putrefy, soften or smell
bad—but they certainly do deteriorate
In some intangible way. After a cer
tain time frozen meat loses some life
principle essential to its nourishing
quality. Such meat lacks flavor; It is
not well digested or assimilated. Its
savorless condition cannot be remedied
or successfully disguised by the use of
sauces and condiments.
Those who cat cold storage food for
any length of time develop diarrheal
disorders, lose iu weight and would
eventually starve to death unless a
change of diet was made. The same
reasoning applies to tinned fruits nnd
vegetables. They should not be used
after a certain period has elapsed.
Especially should people be warned
against using stale eggs and old milk
and cream. Milk and cream are kept
for days, rancid butter is washed and
treated chemically, but all food, and
especially cold storage food, Is dam
aged by long keeping, anil will not
nourish the body properly. There Is
the greatest abundance of food, but It
does not satisfy.—Sanitary Record.

"Memory can play flic strangest of

"Probably you will recognize this ex
perience, which is common enough.
How many people, when reading or
listening to a conversation, become
vaguely conscious that they have read
the passage or heard the identical
words In 'the dim, long past!'
"It Is not a haunting mystery, but
Just a way that memory has. lu
numerable Impressions of the most
trivial things are stored In the brain
and will come out when called upon.
In the lady's case she had probably
seen a picture of the scene at some
time, and a view of the actual place
produced memory's feeble effort to re
call H."

IRRIGATION SUPPLIES.
Pnmplnic From Well* nnd Slrenrai.
Thp Vnrloni Motori In I HP.
Sinking wells into water bearing
strata to secure irrigation supplies is
being resorted to as never before.
Newer and broader conceptions of the
relation of subterranean water to irri
gation have recently prevailed, says
Professor E. J. Wlclcson of California.
This follows because it may be much
cheaper to raise water to adjacent tow
ers than to catch it in a remote ravin<»
and pipi' it for miles. However this
may lie. Irrigation undertakings have
been recently established very largely
upon wells and pumps or upon flowing
wells wherever they could be h"d.
In (,'aiifornla during the last three
years there have been perhaps ten
times :IH many pumping outfits set up
for irrigation us had been employed
during the whole earlier Irrigation de
velopment of the state. Large irriga
tion companies sank groups of wells
and pumped from them Into their dla
trlbutlng ditches and flumes when, for
lack nf rain, their immense reservoirs
went dry. Individual Irrigators sank
wells and bought pumping plnnts when
the ditch water failed and have now
learned the superiority of the home
supply, to be drawn upon Just when It
can lie used to the best advantage.
Large regions which had never se
cured Irrigation systems were forced
by drought to seek water, and, having
found It below ground In ample quan
tities, they will not fail In the future
to use Irrigation as a supplement to the
rainfall.
Over Inrge nrenn of (ho country wind
mills nre used 11 h motors for irrigation
pumps. They umluestlonalily serve an
excellent purpose, under favorable clr
cuinslaiieeH, ii]) to the limits of tlielr
capaeliy, litif irrigation for fruit ffrow
loc, except In the family garden or on
small areas of small fruits, Is proceed
lllK upon tin.' liasls of motors of higher
elllcleiicy. tlasollne- engines are being
used even up to n capacity of K.'SX)
gallons of water per minute, but the
ordinary plants are ICSH than one tenth
of that. Crude oil engines are also
us«d, and steam plants using small
stationary and portable engines are
pressed Into service, while electric mo
tors along long power circuits from
generators at waterfalls or other great
source" of power are heing fully em
ployed. Instances of the profitable em
ployment. of all these agencies are
abundant nil through the fruit growing
districts of the arid region.
Where large streams are adjacent to
fruit lands and diversion at a sulli
clently high level IN not practicable ele
vaHon !>y pump to a proper point for
gravity How or direct application from
tin- discharge pipe of 1 lie pllinp is lielug
largely resorted to. On the river hank
lauds In California very large steam
and gasoline pump* are used both for
drainage and irrigation at different
seasons of the year, as cither Is desir
able. Recently ■spacious pumping
plants Installed upon barges have been
used for custom pumping, delivering
water to riverside orchards.
Hydraulic rams are also used to a
limited extent where conditions favor
them.
A very interesting way for taking
water for Irrigation when the river Is
running high between levels which pro
tect reclaimed land Is the use of si
phons over the crowns of the levees.
To cut the levee would be dangerous,
and flood gates are few. but water can
lie delivered here and there by siphons
as desired Made of galvanized Iron
strong enough to resist the pressure,
the air Is exhausted by a pump, and
the water llows over. Home of the si
phons arc two feet In diameter and de
liver a large stream, though smaller
pipes are generally employed.
Hon to Suit fiina.
A supply of sail, available whenever
the cow wants It, Is necessary to main

EXCITING CHAPTERS IN THE LIFE OF
A POLICE CAPTAIN.
A Hard Strtmifie For I.lie With a
Stnlivurt Murderer mud a Narrow
Eacnitr From Death at the llauds of

"Yes, we have to deal with some
queer people and some dangerous peo
ple," said a police captain, "and I must
say, but not boastfully, that we now

Is at once quick and reliable. I re
member several years ago wo had a
highwayman In the station house who
had shot a man and robbed him. lie
was a dangerous criminal and a
mighty powerful man, and ho was In
a good position to go down for life or
be executed, for his victim was at tho
point of death. One night he asked
that I be sent to his cell. I had arrest
ed him and had tried to get a confes
sion from him, but all my efforts had
been vain. He had taken a violent
dislike to me, and he had laughed at
all my endeavors. The deduction I
made when I heard he wished to see
me was that ho had changed his mind
and Intended to confess, so 1 went to
the cellroom and talked with him.
" 'Captain,' said he In a confiding
way, 'I want you to como In here and
sit down. This secret Is maklug a
wreck of me, and I want to tell you
everything.'
"He seemed quite penitent, and with
out nny hesitation I opened the cell
door and wit down on the bench besldo
him.
"'ls Mr. going to die?" was his
first question.
" Tlio doctor says he csnuot live,' I
replied.
" 'Then tlio chances for my going to
the chair are better than good?' asked
he.
"I replied that they were. The pris
oner lapsed apparently Into deep medi
tation, and whllo the spell was upon
him he paced up and down the cell.
Huddenly he slammed the door of the
cell, placed himself before me and said
In a rather fearsome voice:
" 'l've finished one, nnd If I do two I
enn get nothing worse than the chair.'
"Haying which, he leaped at me, lead
ing out a powerful blow as ho did so.
I was, of course, up and ready for
him and had a billy In my hand. Ho
had nothing but his big fists, feet and
teeth, any of which he was ready nnd
anxious to use, but ho was twice a
match for me even up. I don't know
how I did It If he had got the best of

been pounded to death; there Is no
doubt of that. I rapped him on tlio
head time and time IIKHIU with my
billy, felt his blood (lying over me,
beard him siutii and also felt the Im
print of Ills powerful fists. It took 1110
five minutes to lay him out, und I
must say that 1 never spent five busier
minutes In my life. Oh, he's In prison
now. He's doing 20 years.
"I remember unother little experi
ence I had that Is not easy to forget.
1 was sitting lu my private office one
afternoon when a well built, stylishly
clad young man entered, bowed pleas
antly and sat down on the edge of the
sofa.
" 'I never was down In this part of
the city before,' he said, 'and, being
here, I thought I'd stop lu nnd visit
with you.'

came down ho called out:
"Alas, that my friend the Ox should
have used me thus!"
"Hut 1 was trying to show my friend
ship by removing the lly," protested
tlio Ox.
"And In removing tbo Fly you have
telescoped my spine, broken ruy ribs
