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!** COULDN'T LIFT TEN POUNDS.

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 Lockley, Jr., Jn St Nicholas * Biggest Carving Knife. The biggest carving knife ever manu factured may be seen at the World’s Fair. This monster blade is thirty feet in length, and has an edge as sharp as a razor.

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. Blew Taps at Grant's Burial. The Fourth Cavalry Band at Fort Riley claims the oldest enlisted man In the United States Army.

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.
