A LAW OF THE DESERT.
kllk Water Fo4 lore. B
trean MrMim At Wikrrat4, ,
It was th the camp of J)uUfro that
Mitchell, the blf brick red mtnlnf
man of Nevada, told me his view of
law on the desert:
"If you are prospecting with an un
reasonable hog of a partner who wants
to eat three slices of bacon and half a
loaf of bread for breakfast and lets
the canteen pirgle down his throat
while you get along with a strip of
bacon and Just moisten your lips when
you take a drink, then you're all right
If you kill him. I'd kill hta If there
wasn't anything etee to do. It's a
tough game, and It's your life or his
when you're lost or your grub stake
and water are giving out"
These observations are suggested by
the arrival In camp two days before
of the bones of a prospector who had
died of thirst some forty miles from
Bullfrog during the previous summer.
He had beeu a carpenter, earning
wages of $8 a day In the new camps
during the "boom," but the gokl fever
led him away from this safe and
profitable toil. lie picked up a part
Her, they loaded their burros and
trailed off south toward the Death val
ley country to prospect In the Funeral
range.
Three weeks after the desert awal
lowed them up the partner wandered
Into a freighters' camp, half erased
with thirst and exhaustion. He was
able to tell the freighters that toe car
penter was somewhere out beyond,
lost and without water, too helpless to
move. The partner was too weak and
fevered to go back with the rescue
party of freighters, so they left him
In camp. He directed them as well as
lie could, but the search was bootless,
and Griffin, the carpenter of Bullfrog,
was added to the long list of desert
victims. Several months later a party
of prospectors tumbled by chance
across what was left of him. There
were no traces of his outfit He bad
thrown away his gun, his canteen and
his hat One shoe was found thirty
feet from his body, and he had torn off
and dung away most of his clothing.
These were the ghastly evidences of
the last great fight he had made to
struggle on.
"When they're dying for water," said
Mitchell, who knows the "desert
game,' "they throw away everything
until all their clothes are gone, and
you generally find them without a
stitch on."-Ralph D. Paine la Outing.

When Hiram fcassett went down on
Cape Cod to pay a visit bis friends
provided him with every sort of fish
they could muster, and for five days
he was treated to mackerel, halibut,
oysters, cuuns, scanops na many
other varieties In the best possible
condition.
"Well, Hiram." said his host on the
day of Mr. Bassett's return to his
home, I'd like to see what youll get
Hannah to cook for you first thing
when you reach home. I reckon you've
bad fish enough to last you for one
while."
"Pooh!" said Mr. Bassett "I guess
you don't know anything about it
Ton haven't lived In Massachusetts
long enough. Hannah '11 get me the
same thing she always does when I've
been away from home for a spell a
real good mess o' codfish an' potato
hash. Thai's what Hannah '11 get me."
Zigzag Sew Yorker.
"Nobody in New York walks straight,"
said the fault finder. "Watch a score1
of pedestrians on the sidewalk, and not
one of them sticks to a straight path.
Those deviations are not always due to
the crowded condition of the pavement
either. During the rush hours a man
'is supposed to dodge this way and
that in his efforts to make progress,
but when given a clear road there Is
no excuse for so much sidetracking.
Yet, no matter how favorable the con
ditions, the New Yorker zigzags just
the same. He might have a stretch of
sidewalk a block long all to himself
and be perfectly sober, yet in that dis
tance he would veer from curb to stoop,
line and buck again several times."

COLONIAL CARELESSNESS.
Cains; a School as a Storehouse For
Gunponder.
Distressing accidents, such as we find
chronicled in the newspapers of our
colonial era, bring home vividly to
posterity the fact that dangers to life
and limb existed before the day of the
dynamite cracker and the automobile.
Children, rambling outdoors, and
grown persons besides, says the author
of "Americans of 1770," would pick
and eat strange berries, roots and veg
etables that turned out poisonous, and
In vain did newspripers warn against
mushrooms, hemlock. Ivy tinrl other
growing things.

mischief. A man dropped from bis
ladder or scaffolding while repairing a
house or was scalded to death by nn
overturned kettle of potash or maple
sap. We read of a father and three
sons who were killed by suffocation,
one after another, while descending
Into a pit without first testing for car
bonic acid.
People were careless, moreover, In
the use of powder and firearms when
the Revolutionary era began. At Ilart
ford the legislature voted joyfully to
the townsfolk two barrels of powder
for volleys In honor of the repeal of the
stamp act. The powder was kept In
a schoolhouse, and the militiamen,
when filling their horns with It, left
some spilled on the floor.
The school children, playing with
the black grains, set them on fire and
the train led to a powder barrel, which
exploded with tremendous concussion.
The schoolhouse was Mown up and
many children were killed.
A fire In Andover In 1770 burned to
the ground an old bouse next the meet
ing house, and its three lonely and
aged Inmates perished In the flames.
But "providentially," as one newspaper
remarked, the church escaped un
harmed. Two old maiden sisters, It seems,
ere in the habit of smoking their
pipes after they got Into bed. whence,
probably, the disaster. "Therefore,"
adds the chronicler, "it may not be
amiss to caution people against such a
practice."
