LLOYD'S LUCK.
F'Whcin Lloyd’s fnther told him that he
Sind sold tbo farm, and that they were
.-going to spend the summer camping
•ant, Lloyd was very much delighted.
His fnther and two other wen had
formed n partnership and were going
to-spend the summer In mining. They
bought their, provisions arnd mining
outtit, and loading them in two wag
ons, they started. Lloyd’s father and
mother, with Lloyd and the provisions,
•were in one wagon; In the other were
it he two partners, with the picks, shov
els, gold pans nnd the lumber for sluice
boxes and rockers.
When, after several days* traveling,
1hey arrived at the place where they
•intended to mine, the men cut dowp
;some trees, and in the course of a week
built a log cabin. They had planned
to work.a ‘'placer claim.” It had been
mined lorig ago, when gold was first
discovered in California, but not very
hopper, be lifted it off to throw ftWaJ
the coarser'gravel nnd rocks that would
not pass through the holes in the sheet
iron beiYoih of thO hopper. As h6 did
so he noticed a pretty rock lie had
thrown out. It was white, with yeilow
streaks in it. He found several more
pieces, and put them In his pocket to
nag his father what they were. He
did not know that he had found tome
very rich gold quarts, but when he lift*
ed up the hopper and saw a line of yel
low along both of the riffles on the up
per ppron, he was enough of a miner
to know that he lmd found rich pay
dirt. The gold dust was coarse, some
of it being as large ns grain* bf rice.
He went to tho camp and got a gold
pan so that he could clean up the
rocker.
That night, when the men come to
supper, Lloyd’s mother said to her
husband:
.‘‘Well, how did you do to-day V Did
you have n good clean-up?”
Lloyd’s father sighed and said: “No,
little woman; I am sorry to soy that
our pay dirt is running out 1 am
afraid we made a mistake In not
sticking to the farm.”
“Well, Lloyd, how did your clean-up
turn out?” his father asked.
Lloyd brought out the gold pan nnd
tho pretty rocks, and handed them
to his father. When the men caught
sight of the coarse gold dust and nug*
gets In the pan, and the pieces of rich
gold quartz, you should have heard
them shout.
“Where did you find that?” they ex
citedly asked. “Come and show us!**

thoroughly. Lloyd liked to watch the
men shovel the dirt into the sluice
boxes and see the swift muddy water
wash, the rocks nnd coarse gravel out
u 4 . file other end. They found the
Sllrt” was not very rich, and some
■days when they made a “clean-up”
they would find a very small quantity
of gold dust In tlielr riffles, loss than
half an ounce for a whole day’s run.
\ Lloyd soon grew tired of watching
tho men work; he wished to do some
mining all by himself; ro his fnther,
one evening after his own work, made
him a little rocker out of the thin light
boards of a dry goods box, and every
day Lloyd would play he was a miner.
Finally he carried his rocker up the
stream nearly a quarter of a mile
above where his father was working.’
One of the men had called to him,
“Hello, locker, where are you going
with that boy?”
Lloyd looked back and said, “We’re
going up the creek to find a claim of
our own.”
“Well, go ahead, and good luck to
you!” they called after him.
Lloyd did not find much “color”
along the creek, so he carried his
rockor up a dry gulch that led into
that stream.
Next day Lloyd dug till his hands
were blistered and his back ached,
lie had been digging a hole where tho
ground was wet and soggy, so that he
could get water to rock with. When
ho went back next morning he found
that the hole was nearly full of muddy
water that had seeped In from the
spring. There was enough water to
run the rocker for some time.
In one place at the lowest part of
the gulch, near where his rocker was
set, a rock cropped out a few inches.
He did not know it at the time, but he
had gone to the best place possible.
A few inches below the surface he
struck bedrock. It was quite irregu
lar. He took his shovel and scraped
the roc!:, piling the grave! beside his
rocker. He threw a shovelful of dirt
into the hopper, dipped up some water
and started to rock. When the dirt
and crave’ had washed through the
And without waiting for supper they
started for the place. Lloyd could
hardly keep up with them, they walked
so fast.
When they got to his rocker Lloyd
showed them where he had shoveled
up his dirt. Taking hJs pick, his father
struck the rock that cropped up in the
bottom of the gulch. He picked up a
fragment that was broken off and
looked at it. It was quartz heavily
veined with gold. He handed it to his
partners, and caught Lloyd up, tossed
him in the air, and said:
“Our fortune is made! You’ve found
the ledge from which all the placer
gold on the creek has come.” .
The men broke off several pieces of
quartz and then covered up the out
cropping ledge.
It was pretty late before any one
went to sleep in camp that night.
Next day one of the men drove over
to the nearest town with a wagon, to-
buy picks and shovels, fuse and blast
ing powder. They called the mine
“Lloyd’s Luck,” though bis papa said
It ought to be called "Lloyd’s Pluck,”
because he had worked so bard. Sev
eral mining experts for big companies
had assays made, and it proved a very
valuable claim. Indeed, so valuable
was it that In the course of a month
Lloyd’s father, who had all along fel
that the life of a mining camp was
too rough for his wife, sold out bis
share to bis two partners, and, with
Lloyd and his mother, returned to
their farm, which they were now able
to keep up as it never had been before,
and to send Lloyd to college as soon as
he became old enough to enter.—Fred

A Queer Fowl This.
A hybrid fowl—-th'e offspring of a
wild English pheasant cock and a gub
iwa hen, recently dioci at a farm near
Palatine, N. J. A hybrid of this kind;
while not unknown among scientific
inch* is quite rare, and very fevv-pir-
sohs have ever seen ono. The clr-
cumstancs of its birth and life arc
interesting.
Mr. William Harris, living near El
mer, had a flock of guineas In tho
spring of 1900. These guineas had
the range of tho farm, on which wag
A fringe of timber. Mr. Harris and
his men noticed an English pheasant
at times in this strip of wood's and
on a few occasions when the guineas
ranged near tho woods th'e pheasant
mingled with them, but never came
near the house.
After this flock of guineas had laid
a number of eggs a neighbor, Jacob
Du Bols, bought of Mr. Harris a
setting of tggs, which were duly
placed In a nest under a brooding
hen. New in all well-regulated gui
nea families the period of incubation
Is four wa&k3, but to the astonish
ment of Mr. Harris, ono of tho egga
hatched in three weeks.
The little chick was presented to
Mrs. Lizzlo Smith. It early exhibited
Its wild parentage, and its instinct
taught it .self-preservatlcn. When
quite young It showed surprising
alertness. After some of the family
would try to catch it, carefully plac
ing the hand over it until its hack
•was almost touched; then, quick as a
flash, it was away.
The fowl* fed and ranged with the
othvr farm fowls, and when fully
matured weighed sovon pounds. Its
appearance was act unlike a chicken,-
except that its legs reserabted those
of a turkey; It had remarkable
Strength, and in a few minutes could
scratch a holo deep enough to bury
itself in. It never met a snake with
out giving and winning battle.

shouldered, sloucliy-looklng man
moved along the dsck below, appar
ently grumbling at all sailors and ma
rines who got in hla way. His coat
sleeves were marked with gold braid
(service stripes) half Way to the
shoulder, “who is that?'* asked one
bf the party. “Wbjr," said dapUiti
Goodrich, laughing, “that is the real
commander of tho ship. At any fate;
I believe that he considers me as d
more or less superfluous figurehead.”
And then the captain explained that
the old fellow was a boatswain, the
highest non-commissioned officer In
the navy. “He is a type of the old
fecadog now almost extinct,” contin
ued the oirtcer. “He has the same
relation to a ship's CfeW that A first
sergeant has to a company in thd
army. He wa3 with Farragut At Mo*

by reason of his exceptional skill in
gun practice and his ability to train

China is me great slave country
of the world. Of a population cl
400,000,000 there are slaves to tho
number of 10,000,000. Evory family
of means keeps Its girl slaves, and a

the number he keeps. At any ag3
from three to fifteen girls aro sold,
seven or eight being the age at
which most change hands. The
girls are purchased to do house
work,-it being cheaper to buy than
to hire. Slaves vary In price. Ten

bring $20 or even $40.—Chicago
