THE BEAUTY OF JEWISH WOMEN.
Early Days in California The Philosophy
of a Tornsor I'artnar.
ElMTOU OtlKROX Scout:
I was up to linker City the other
tiny, and the most beautiful sight I
saw there was two Jewish ladies. It
set me to thinking of the reason why
the Jewish ladies arc so much hnnd
Eomcr than the men, I believe it is
because the Jewesses have escaped the
cureo which alighted on their
husbands, fathers and sons. Not a
Jewess was to be seen among the
crowd of priests and rabble who insul
ted the Son of God. The women in
Judea believe in the Savior, and as
sisted and soothed him under atllie
tion. A woman of liethany poured
on his head precious ointment. Christ
on his part extended mercy to the
Jewesses. He raised from the dead
tho son of the widow of Nain. Ho
oured Simon's mother-in-law, and tho
women who touched the hem of his
garment. The daughters of Jerusalem
wept over him. The holy women ac
companied him to Calvary. His first
appearance after tho resurection was
to Mary Magdalene. The reflection of
some beautiful ray must have rested
on the brow of .Tewcses.
Writing about Christ and the bible
brings to recollection a mining part
ner of mine years ago at Cerro Gordo,
Inyo county, California Fairfax by
name. He was an Englishman, an
Oxford scholar, and for some trouble
or other at home had strayed to the
mines of Southern California. He
was a tall, good looking man about
my age, a'grcat ladies' man and very
polite. I remember once in San Ber
nardino wo noticed a very handsome
lady approaching us on tho street.
Just as she passed us by a gust of
wind took her parasol out of her hand.
Fairfax jumped and caught it and
presented it to her with a low bow,
saying, "Madam, if you were as strong
as you arc handsome, this would not
have happened." The lady looked at
him smilingly and said, "Which shall
I thank you for lirst, the service or
the compliment?" "Neither, madam,"
said Fairfax, "for that look from your
beautiful eye is thanks enough." Tho
only fault he had, as a companion,
was that he was an infidel, and always
quoting tciiptmc. He was a great
bible scholar and hard to answer, lie
knew more in a niinulo about the bi
ble than 1 did in a mouth, but 1 thut
him up once and he did not spout
scripture to mo again for some
time. In an argument one day ho
denied the truth or all revelations;
allowed llicro was such a man once as
Jesus Christ, but believed that ho was
an impostor. I said, either Christ
was an impostor or he was not.
If ho was an impostor wo havo the
inconceivable phenomenon of a base
man practicing virtue, self denial,
charity, forgiveness of injuries
through his whole life, in spito of
contumely and even crucifixion. Is it
philosophical to suppose that a bad
man would tako such pains to make
men good? But if ho was not an im
postor then he has told tho truth, and
wo must believe him.
Fairfax located a spring on tho Mo
have desert and sold the water to team
sters and travelers at "two bits" per
barrel. I saw him about six months
after that in San Francisco. Ho had
eold his spriug for $1,000 and was
"flying high." He was "dressed up to
kill," and had a girl on each arm. Ho
was very glad to sco me, and intro
duced mo to the ladies. Nothing
would do but that I should go to tho
theatre with thorn ; so I borrowed ono
of his girls and we went to tho old
Metropolitan theater. It was tho last
performance ovor hold in that, tho
oldest theater in San Francisco, for tho
carpenters were to cominqnco pulling
it down in tho morning to mako way
for New Montgomery avenue. Tho
theater was packed from lloor to coil
ing. Tho audionco was mostly old
timers who had turned out in foreo to
give their favorite old thoator a good
send oil'. Tho galleries woro packed
with hoodlums and tho rill'-raH'of San
Frniicis-co. who came to huvo a good
tVnio.and they owrtuinly had it if a good
time coniiu in raising thu dovil.
The Chapman sifitn were tho start.
Harold, thu Australian ventriloquist
and the grand bnllett were feature of
tho tnUrtaniuient. Such running out
bctwun tli' aeU to see a friend, I iw
cr saw lu iiTu or Mwe. Hy the time
I the last ai t Was on. tho neonlo woro !
ripe for anything. Tho ventriloquist I
started in to kis ono of tho Chapman
sisters. She didn't like to bo kissed, or
at any rate not in public, and raised a
fuss about it. Two or three of her
dude admirers, down on tho front seats,
jumped on (he tairo and went for the
VentrilmilUf. :iiil tln fun nnmninnnml
It would not havo amounted to much
if it had not been for tl.o hoodlums.
They commenctd to lire down apples,
oranges, parasols and anything they
cound get hold of. Some chairs and
stools fell or were thrown down, and
it caiifcd a panic. It was an awful
crash for a time. Everybody got out
alive, but many were badly hurt. Our
party managed to get out all right with
thu exception of our clothes being
badly torn. My coat was in rags and
Fairfax had lost his plug hat. On the
way home his partner was complain
ing about the loss of her new silk dress
and Fairfax wae grumbling about the
loss of his hat. I wondered at him
growling so about a hat, but he told
mo later, that when a woman has a
crcvinucc you must havo ono also, and
I believe he was right, for L noticed
that his companion soon stopped com
plaining about the ruin or" her forty
dollar silk dress and went to sympa
thising and consoling Fairfax about
tho lo?s of his fivo dollar hat.
Fairfax's money commencing to run
short after awhile, lie took it into his
head that there was money in going
down to I'animint, a deserted mining
camp on the edge of tho Mohavo des
ert, and collecting bottles and ship
ping them to tho Philadelphia brewery
at San Fraiicisco. Ho was acquainted
with the proprietor and, by the way
ho seemed to know everybody, lie
could get several cents apiece for all
tho bottles he would send. Ho wanted
no to go with him, bad, but I was in
love with a girl, or thought I was,
which amounts to tho same thing, and
wouldn't go. 1 tried to talk him out
of the notion, but ho allowed he ought
to know something about bottles, for
was ho not raised on a bottle when a
baby. And go ho did and made a suc
cess of it, clearing several hundred dol
lars in a short time. Fairfax after
wards went to Arizona, and when
Tombstone was booming ho went to
that camp and was doing well, but
ono Christmas eve ho tried to get
away witli all the whiskey in town. Ho
overrated his capabilities, however, and
was seen late at night going for home,
singing,
"Down among the duail men,
Undcr.iuath ttic ground,"
and tho next day was found lying at
tho bottom of a sixty-foot shaft, dead.
lie had fallen 'in, in the darkness, and
that was the end of a man with ability
enough to have graced any walk in
life.

there is nothing strange about that
Mrs. Joe Yowell lias the smartest girl
in Union county. Sho runs tho mow

those plows of ours out there in the
tiold that had stood in tho furrow all

are as fair and true as any other in
patronizing tho homo merchants, yet
there aro many instances where they
go abroad and mako purchases when
there is no shadow of reason for it.
They do not get better goods as a rule
nor any cheaper than could bo had at
home, and if anything bo wrong with
tho deal it is not easily adjusted, while
with our merchants all this can bo
avoided. They can buy better than
an individual and aro entitled to tho
patronage of all. If a Union mer
chant has carpets, cloaks, gloves, furni
ture, jewelry, carriages or harness or
anything else you need, buy of them
and keep the money at homo and thus
