We all heard that there was gold in a certain section not far from our camp, and accord ingly there was a prompt exodus, man.; It was a case of first come first serv- was j ed, and soon we all had our claims staked out. Two fellows who were chums had tried to get claims side by side, but another man got be tween them. They proposed an ex change to him. “ ‘It’s all luck/ they said, ‘and we want to work our claims togeth er. How, you take either one of ours. It won’t' make any differ ence to you and will help us out.’ “The other man said it was all a gamble anyway,, so he chose the right hand claim in exchange for his own. That was a year ago. The two men who are working their claims together haven’t made a thing, while the other has already A REBUKE TO THE PARVENU. Not long ago the present king of Great Britain and his consort were entertaining in their usual charm ing manner a large number of guests at Sandringham, relates a London correspondent. Among them was a certain millionaire, whose ways and manners were far from agreeable to his royal host. One evening after dinner the of millions minus. manners ; talking very slowly about his re cently purchased estates and all that he intended to do to his “palace.” “Your royal highness must really pay me a visit,” he drawled in a somewhat familiar way to the prince. “I can promise you some grand shooting. And I assure you that my'wine is excellent.” The prince looked very steadily at his wealthy guest and answered, so politely: “Thank you, Mr. > for your invitation. I am afraid not. You say that your shooting is grand and your wine excellent. Well, with your permission, I might some day send one of my keepers down for ; taken over a million dollars out of the shooting and one of my butlers j his. Queer, isn’t it, but that’s the for the wine. It would be quite a j Klondike.”—New York Mail. holiday for them, I am sure, and I know they would both appreciate your ‘good things.’ ” THE ENGAGING WIDOW. There is a story going the rounds of the eastern press that, following the introduction in the Minnesota legislature of the measure prohibit ing the marriage of women past the age of 45, a widow’s protective league has been formed. Nonsense! There are no widows over 45, and if there were they would not need protection from so gallant a body of men as the Minne sota legislature. Of course, the silly measure will not be made into law. And if it were it would be promptly killed by the courts. There is no disposition on the part"of the public to prevent the widow or any other lady from seeking her natural prey at any season of the year in this state. The only possible modification that would have a chance of passage would be a bill making “a closed season” On man—i. e., that it would not be lawful for ladies over 45 to hunt for their natural prey from Oc tober to May. This would give man a fair chance and would not be con sidered tyrannous or unreasonable by any fair minded person.—Minne apolis Journal. FENCE MADE FROM SAWS. “Fencing a farm with steel is somewhat of a novelty,” said a Washington woman, “but during a recent trip to Nelson county, Va., I saw a 15 acre farm which was thoroughly fenced with steel bands. At Schuyler the finest soapstone which is found in the country is very extensively mined, the owners of the quarries being, I am inform ed, residents of this city. The stone is not only quarried, but is cut there into all kinds of shapes, in which form it is shipped to all parts of the United States. A large number of saws are kept constantly going, sawing out the stone. These saws WHERE ONE DARE NOT SMOKE. Members of the Antitobacco league should send their congratu lations to a worthy magistrate of Seoul, the capital of Korea. Here is a translation of a proclamation recently issued by him: “Behold! Smoking grass (Kore an for tobacco) is a species of food, but in smoking one has to hold up a long pipe obliquely and swallow fire—how can it be without injury to his hygiene? Furthermore one generally drops live ashes on the roadside. Should they be taken up by the god of wind grass roofed, low huts will, in the twinkle of an eye, be a prey to flames. That is the reason why an inferior official like myself issues herewith an order strictly forbidding you, the people, to fool with long pipes and to swal low fire. Should any of you dare to violate this prohibition I shall show no hesitation in confiscating the pipe and pouch of offending person. When your offense deserves to be further dealt with, you shall re ceive 300 lashes.” * THE SUPERLATIVE DEGREE. “Am I henpecked?” The harassed husband was com muning with himself. “Henpecked ?” His voice took on a tone of min gled humiliation and desperation. “I am henbusheled; that’s what I am.”—Baltimore American.

It would be out of the question to put up such fences as an original investment, hut it is 1 found to be much cheaper to use the wornout saws for fence rails than to ship them hack to the steel ; mills ”—Washington Star. r NOT THE SAME. “Jimmy,” exclaimed the first boy, “teacher jumped on yon pretty quick; yanked you up and walloped you like lightning, didn’t he?” “No,” replied the other hoy rue fully, “not like lightning.
