) LOVE IN SLEEPY CAMP. \
It was too hot for work in "Sleepy
Camp," so nearly all the men had
given it up for the day and lounged
into Zeb's saloon to have a smoke and
a drink.
Though it was getting well on in the
afternoon the sun was still blazing hot
and there wasn't a breath of air to
move the red dust. In a little shanty,
not far from the saloon, sat two young
diggers, both tall, well-built men, but
one handsome, the other ugly—hence
their nicknames, Cob the Beauty and
Ugly Sam. Sam sat in the corner near
the window, through which could be
faintly heard the laughing and sing
ing at Zeb's; Bob sat on the table,
swinging his legs.
"It's a treat to git out o' that scorch
in' sun," said Ugly, pulling a pipe out
of his pocket, and knocking the ash
on the floor.
"Yes," agreed Beauty, stretching
his arms and yawning fearfully.
"We've had a grand day, haven't
we, Beauty?" asked Sam, striking a
match on his boot.
"Yes." Answered Bob, shutting his
big mouth with a snap.
"You seem to take it awful quiet—
you don't seem to grasp that we—we
two pards—have found the biggest
nugget ever dug up in 'Sleepy Camp.' "
"Oh, yes, I do," replied Bob, kicking
so hard at the table leg that it seemed
more than likely the rickety old thing
would give away.
"Let's have another look at it!"
So saying, Sam jumped to his feet
and took a key out of his pocket,
crossed to a large chest that was
standing up against the wall, fitted
it in the lock and threw back the lid
with a bank.
It was a nugget—goodness knows
how much it was worth.
"Isn't it grand," cried Sam, falling
on his knees and patting it affection
ately with his hand.
"I suould just say it was," said Bob,
slipping off the table to have a look
over Ugly's head.
"Another find half as big as that,
and we're made fer life," and Sam
closed the lid and locked it, putting
the key carefully back into his pocket.
Bob crossed to the table and took
up his former position.
"Ours has turned out a trump of
'er claim," he said.
Sam nodded his head and replied:
"Rather!"
"What'll yer do when yer have
enough—give up work?" asked Bob.
"I mi"ht think o' doin so," answered
Sam, relighting his pipe.
"Might git marriea, eh?"
"Maybe."
Bob slipped down off the table onco
more and went to the door —opened
it and looked out. Two or three mi
ners were passing on their way to
their shanties; they greeted him with
"Good evening, Beauty," and walked
on. Bob kicked the Joor to and strode
across to Sam, who was still puffing
at his pipe.
"Look here, 'Ugly,'" said Bob; "it's
no good us two goin' on like this, is
it?"
"No," replied Sam, rising from his
seat.
"What's ter be done?"
Sam shook his head.
" 'Bout Lil, I mean," explained Bob.
"I know what yer mean, 'Beauty,' "
and Gam looked intently at the floor
as if thinking.
"Who does she like the best o' us
two?" asked Bob.
"Can't say—the one she's takin* to
at the time, I guess."
"Look here, Ugly," said Eob, "we've
always been good pals, we've not had
rows like Hackett and Black George,
and it's a pity we should start now,
especially 'bout a woman."
"Yer right enough there!" agreed
Sam.
"Now, we both love Lil," continued
Bob, and there was a perceptible catch
In his voice at the word "love," "and
we think she cares fer us both jist
the same."
"Yes."
"Well, if one wore togo, the one left
would most probably have 'er —eh?"
"Yes," from Sam, with a nod of the
head.
"Who's togo?" asked Bob.
The two men looked at each other—
there was silence for a moment except
for the distant laughing—then Sam
felt in his pocket for something and
said:
"Yer see this dollar piece? Well,
It may sound a bit wrong to spin for
her, but listen, Beauty, one of us two
has ter go. I'll throw this coin up,
you call, and if yer right I'll pack,
but if yer wrong I'll stay."
Bob bit his lips.
"Is it a go?" asked Sam.
"And the one that goes, does he
take his share?" Bob asked.
"He takes that," answered Sara,
pointing to the chest. "If yer call
right yer have Lil—and I take the
nugget, but if wrong yer go with the
nugget and I stay with the gal."
"It seems a bit funny "
"But," interrupted the other, "it's a
way out of the wood; if we both stay
there'll be shootin'."
"All right, Ugly, it's a bargain."
Bob drew a long breath. "We'll stick
by the spin of that tnere dollar."
"We will. Shall I throw?" asked
Sam quietly.
"Yes," came from Bob in the same
tone.
"Call while it's high," said Sam, and
up it went—spinning round and round
in the air.
"Women!" cried Bob.
Down it came with a ring on the
floor and rolled into a corner of the
room.
"See what it is," said Sam.
Bob crossed hesitatingly and peered
down into the corner.
"It's heads," he cried, "I've lost."
"And I've won," cried Sam, rushing
over to the place and picking up the
dollar, my dear old lucky coin," and
ne put it to his lips and kissed it—
then went to Bob who was looking
out of the window.
"Shake!" he said, holding out his
hand.
Bob turned and took It, gripping
hard.
"Here's the key of the chest —you've
got the nugget," said Ugly Sam.
"Yes —that's right enough," replied
Bob the Beauty with a choke; "I'll be
off in the morning."
*******
It was early when Bob got up next
morning—so early that there was
only a very faint tinge of light in the
east—but he hadn't slept a wink, so
n was as good as tossing about for
another hour or so.
He unlatched the door of the shanty
as noiselessly as he could, for fear of
wakening Sam. who was snoring away
on his back, and slipped out into the
open. He wanted to have a last look
around, and straighten things up for
his going—he'd have to make some ex
cuse to the boys, he thought, they'd
think it strange, and so he walked
down to the claim.
Although he had gone out so quietly,
the click of the latch had been enough
lor Sam, who woke to find himself
laughing, positively laughing, he was
so happy.
He didn't get up immediately, but
lay there planning out his future hap
piness. He was sorry, very sorry, for
Beauty, but perhaps the nugget would
be some consolation to him; besides,
he didn't think Bob liked the girl as
much as he did.
Quite an hour passed before he
dressed himself, a bit smarter than
usual, and went out. He even picked
a little yellow flower that was grow
ing among the grass by the side of the
track and put it into his buttonhole.
He had been walking for some time,
now and then breaking into song in
his deep, rough voice, and hardly no
ticing where he went—till he looked
up and found himself by Peep Hollow,
some way out of the camp; so he
sat down with his back against a
big pine and lit his pipe.
"As happy as a king I'd bo," he
started to sing between the puffs of
smoke, when he stopped suddenly, for
convng along the path toward him he
saw a slight figure in a big straw hat.
His heart gave a bound. It was Lil!
Ugly sat very still as she ap
proached, and she didn't see him, be
ing very interested !n something she
was talking to—he strained his ears
to listen.
"You dear, dear, old fellow —how I
love you—better than all the world —
Sleepy Camp thrown in."
It was a photo-picture she addressed
these remarks to, Sam could make
that much out.
"There, back to your little hiding
place and nobody knows nothing about
yer." So saying she kissed it and
slipped it into the front of her blouse,
then, turning from the path, cut off
through the pines.
Sam had stopped his song to listen,
and it was some moments before he
thought of getting up to follow her,
but he did after a time, and tried to
make out the way she had gone.
He had been breaking through the
undergrowth for a few minutes when
he saw something on the ground a few
yards ahead.
"It's the picture she had," said Sam
to himself, so he forced his way
through the spot where it lay. It was
face downward—he picked it up and
turned it over—it was the Beauty's.
Sam let it fall with a half stifled cry
and put his hand to his throat, then
kicked his way out to the track again
and made for the shanty.
He met two or three of the boys
who were off to work, but never raised
his head to their greetings. Reaching
the hut he pushed the door open and
stumbled in. Bob hadn't returned (lii.s
things were still unpacked); he took
a long time to say goodby to his
friends.
Sam dropped into a chair, and
stared hard at the door —then he
jumped up and rummaged in the lock
er for something and returned to the
table with a dirty piece of paper and
a little stump of a pencil.
He sat do\\'n and then, with his
great heart like a lump of lead, wrote,
in a very illegible hand:
Dear Beauty—Your sure ter be
knocked when yer see this, but you'll
be glad. We tossed fair and square
for the gal, and I won, well —I were
a fool ter think that a gal would like
me in pref. ter you. Anyway, I soon
found out my mistake, so I'm goin'
instead of you.
Tb"'rangements were that if one
had ijil, the other had the nugget—
so being, it belongs ter me, but I ain't
goin't ter take it —you'd 'ave ter wait
a time 'fore yer found another —p'raps
never—l don't want it. Yer stay—l
go.
Still always yer mate and pard,
Ugly Sajn.
Leaving this scrawl upon the table
Sam put a few belongings into a
bundle and went out —slamming the
door.
As he threw the bundle over his
shoulder he noticed the little yellow
flower in his buttonhole. He took it
out and threw it away, lit his pipe
and turned his back on Sleepy Camp.

LUXURIOUS DYINC FOR sls.
How an Italian Street Vender Played 1(
nn Villi Compatriots.
The Italian colony of New York sup
plies this anecdote to a paper in the
Century, entitled "Humor and Pathos
of the Savings Bank."
An old Italian street vender, a con
sumptive, feeling that his end was
drawing near, prepared a scheme for
ending his days in comfort. Observe
the originality and delicacy of the
scheme that he successfully worked on
Little Italy. He had only $75 in the
bank ana of this he drew S7O and re
deposited it in a few days. He drew
it again and again redeposited it, con
tinuing the operation at brief inter
vals, until on the credit of his pass
book he had entries of all those vari
ous sums looting up SBOO, and on the
opposite page drafts to the amount ot
about S7B5 —balance sls. After care
fully cutting out the page showing
the amounts drawn and leaving the
long line of deposits, he took to his
bed and called in his friends. He was
dying; they could see that, the old
man told them. They were good fel
lows, and he loved them all, and he
wished Pedro the banana peddler, and
good Giovanni the boot black, and Ar
turo the wine seller, to know how af
fectionately he regarded them. What
he had to leave them was not much
—would Edgardo, good old Edgardo,
kindly find, between the mattress and
what used to be the springs, his bank
book? Yes; that was it. Take it to
uie window and tell him how much
was there. Eight hundred? Ah, well,
thanks to God that it was so much;
but oh that it were more, for such good
fellows as they.
Dottore Bartollo had told him that
he might live three months, till spring;
would his good friends put back his
book under the mattress, and when
he was gone—no, they mustn't cry
would they take it up to the bank,
draw the amount and divide it be
tween them? Meanwhile, as his lov
ing friends of the present, his heirs
in the future, would they kindly at
tend to his little wants?
Would they? Did they? That old
fellow was fed on the fat of the land
while he lay there in bed. He drank
more Chianti in a week than he had
swallowed in five years. It was even
hinted by some that Arturo the wine
seller was hastening the end by the
vile Chianti that he constantly pro
duced from his stock, while the push
cart man was so generous of unripe
bananas for the sick room that there
was a division of opinion in Mulberry
street as to whether he was cheering
his friend's finale with fruit, or en
deavoring to complicate consumption
with other ills.
At last he swallowed his last flagon
of Chianti and through Little Italy made
F. decent pretense of sorrow, it was
really en fete —at last the SBOO was to
be drawn. I was in the bank when
the principals in their holiday clothes
and with a few chosen friends, arrived.
They stated the case, and asked for the
amount, from which the push cart rntin
was to receive some S4O for fruit, the
wine seller SIOO, and the others vari
ous sums invested for the invalid and
his funeral, leaving some $350 as the
"dividend." ! need not describe :ho
small sized riot that followed when the
abstraction of the pa?<*s fr<'m on? side
of the book was explained to the swear
ing laourners, and a tender was made
to them of the sls. ali that the de
ceased hat' in baiiK.
Flr« Among the Keel wood*.
Perhaps the most startling pheno
menon of the fire was the quick death
of childlike Sequoias only a century
or two ago, says John Muir
in the Atlantic. In the midst
of the other comparatively slow
and steady fire-work, one of
these tall beautiful saplings, leafy
and branchy, would be seen blazing
up suddenly all in one heaving, boom
ing, passionate flame reaching from
the ground to the top of the tree, and
fifty to a hundred feet or more above
it, with a smoke column bending for
ward and streaming away on the up
per free-flowing wind. To burn these
green trees a strong flre of dry wood
beneath them is required to send up
a current of air hot enough to distill
Inflammable gases from the leaves
and sprays; then, instead of the lower
limbs gradually catching fire and ig
niting the next and next in succession,
the whole tree seems to explode al
most simultaneously, and with awful
roaring and throbbing a round taper
ing flame shoots up two or three hun
dred feet, and in a second or two
is quenched, leaving the green spire
a black dead mast bristled and rough
ened with down-curling boughs.
ICntftla a Lund of Uniform*.
If anything Russia excels even Ger
many in the matter of uniforms, writes
a correspondent in the Chicago Tri
bune On the sidewalks of any of the
large cities and more especially at
railway stations, it is safe to assert
that a least 25 percent of all male
adults are in uniform. It is a puzzle to
the tourist to identify the bearers of
such distinctive garbs, consequently
th» different branches of the govern
ment service are often wrongly inter
preted. The gaudy uniform does not
always indicate a high official, as an
officer of high rank may appear in a
plain uniform and one of low rank not
infrequently parades the streets with
more fuss and feathers than his com
ma.nrlAr

Put the article, if possible, in a dish

Varn!Kiting Wood.
When varnishing wood the work
must be done in a warm room at a
temperature of at least 75 degrees Fah
renheit. At a lower temperature the
moisture in the air will give the var
nish a milky and cloudy appearance.
At the higher temperature on the
other hand the moisture is not precipi
tated until the alcohol of the varnish
has sufficiently evaporated to leave a
thin and smooth film of shellac. The
gloss and durability of the varnish
are entirely dependent upon this. Wa
ter should never be applied to var
nished furniture, but oil should be
used in all attempts at cleaning. Kero
sene oil may be put to good account in
cleaning unvarnished woods, but. like
water, it should be avoided with var
nish.
Jupanoae Boudoir Ornnment.
A quaint ornament for a boudoir, up
right piano or bracket is the follow
ing: Take a small Japanese cat bas
ket and a Japanese doll's head, with
hair arranged in the quaint oriental
fashion. Arms are included in the up
per part of this Japanese girl and
shoulders. A puff of pale blue silk
goes over these, simulating a low
necked waist. The sleeves are also
puffs of the silk. This upper part of
the doll sets upon the basket and a
pair of legs, each slipped into a puff
of the silk, are fastened to the top of
the basket so that when the head is
on it, the effect is that of a pretty lit
tle miniature Japanese girl placed upon
the piano or shelf, with her feet hang
ing over it. Pink silk or cardinal can
be used for dressing the doll, but blue
seems to accord well with the general
tone of boudoir furnishings.
ISr«>nkfHst Cream Cake*.
These delicious little cakes are of
such fairy like lightness and so deli
cious that it is difficult to realize that
they are so simple in the materials
used. It is difficult for a tyro in cook
ing, who has never seen them served
with the accompaniment of fragrant
coffee, to realize how excellent these
cakes may be.
Take a cup of sour cream, which is
well loppered but not old enough to
have any suspicion of mould about it;
stir in a scant half teaspoonful of
scda, or just enough to make the cream
sweet to the taste; aod a little salt and
enough sifted flour to make a dough
as stiff as a pie crust. Roll the cream
cakes out as thin as a pie crust and cut
the crust into long oblong strips about
an inch and a half wide by three inches
leng. Bake the cakes in a hot oven
until they are a rich brown. They
should be baked quickly, like a pie
crust, and hue a pie crust they will
increase many times in size. This rule
gives an excellent crust for a chicken
or a game pie.

The Government's Mall Ponrhoi.
The life of an average leather mail
poueii is about twenty years, and it
■will receive many repairs during its
official existence. Leather, however,
is too heavy for the purpose, though
most durable. The Government pays
letter postage transportation rates to
the railroads on the bag as well as
on its contents, so the department Is
gradually retiring leather pouches and
substituting those made of canvas.
These last about seven years and are
three times as light as leather. Even
the weight on these pouches lias been
lessened two pounds by a device for
fastening them at the top and locking
them securely, doing away with the
strap and steel staples of familiar
sight.
Our mail bags average 250 trips a
year, and a single bap will tlnd its way
to the shop on C s\ 'eet for repairs
many times before its 'fe is officially
declared to be ended. vst year 110,-
000 were condemned. 1 .iere were also
repaired 1,384,200 and 10,000 made In
the shop. Quite a local industry, as
you perceive. The department also
purchased 170,000 pouches.
The Government owns all told 1,050,-
000 mail pouches. To meet an emer
gency several years ago the shop on
C street turned out 60,000 bags in two
months. We keep two-thirds of tiie
stock in use, and one-tliird is held In
Washington and at various postofflces
as a reserve. The Government pays
out about $275,000 annually for the
mail equipment of this character.—

Peltinj; Bride* With Flower®!"
The custom of showering bridal cou
ples with rice is as old as the monu
mental hills. It is sometimes attend
ed with disagreeable results, but is
still persisted in at most matrimonial
functions. An improvement upon this
custom which seems likely and ought
to become popular, was observed at a
pretty wedding celebrated at Lake
Geneva, Wis., just before the close of
the outing season. The piazzas and
lawns of the bride's home were beau
tifully decorated with hydrangeas,
which the extensive gardens furnished
in unusual profusion. The altar ar
ranged at one end of the parlor was
beautifully decorated and bowered
with the same blooms, mingled with
ferns and evergreens. Hunches of the
blossoms stood in large jars and vases
in the spacious hall and banked tiie
great fireplace. When the newly wed
ded pair started away in the late af
ternoon the guests lined the way from
the house to the entrance gate of the
grounds, every one provided with
hygrandeas, and through this lane of
pelting flowers the bridal carriage was
driven. It was a poetic and pictur
esque change from the usual rice
shower.—Chicago Itecord-Herald.
The Chinese Kmpcror'n Talisman.
Xo Chinese potentate has ever been
without his precious amulet. It is
recorded of a former "sou of heaven"
that his talisman was a bracelet which
he wore upon his forearm.
The result was that when his celes
tial majesty was stricken with
paralysis, tiie use of that particular
arm was preserved to him and ho was
able to issue his decrees as usual.
But tiie full extent of tiie amulet's
mystic power was only revealed at the
Emperor's death.
Three days after that event, when
the priests were viewing the body, the
removal of the bracelet was suggested.
Instantly the hand was lifted up in
deprecation of tiie proposal, which was
thereupon abandoned. At least, so
runs tiie story.
Indians Won't Goto Mexico.
"Standing Yellow, a war chief of tiie
Cheyenne Indians, has recently re
turned from a trip to old Mexico,"
says tiie Los Angeles Times, "where
he was sent as a delegate for a num
ber of tribes in Oklahoma, aggregat
ing about ten thousand Indians. The
purpose of tiie old chief's trip was to
6elec- a new home for the reservation
Indians, who had always considered
Mexico nothing short of another hap
py hunting ground, where they eouid
all live a life of prosperity and ease;
but the report of the old chief lias
upset the fancy notion these Indians
held about Mexico, and will be the
means of retaining the ten thousand

St. Jacob* Oil For Clmt-Coldi, Itrnn.
ehltis, Croup, ami Pleurln.v.
An outward application for bronchial diffi
culties is many times far more effective than
isyrups, cou?h mixture, cod liver oil, Ac.,
simply because it penetrates through to the
direct cause, which is, as a rule, an accumula
tion of matter or growth tightly adhered to
the bronchial tubes.
St. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does those
wonderful penetrating powers, enables it to
loosen these adhesions and to induce free ex
pectoration. Cases have been known where
expectorations have been examined after St.
Jacobs Oil has been applied, and the exact
formation was clearly shown, whero the ad
hesions had been removed or pulled off the
bronchial tubes. All irritation of the del
icate mucous membrane of the bronchm ie
quickly removed by the healing and soothing
properties of St. Jacobs Oil. In casesof croup
and whooping cough in children St. Jacobs
Oil will be found superior to any other
remedy.
St. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout the
world. It if clean to use—not at all greasy ot
oily, as its name might imply. For rheu
matism. gout, sciatica, neuralgia, cramp,
