F0R1Y-NINF JIMMIE
I.AVI HER THE GUITAR'
Tlie recent death of Forty-Nine
limmii) recall tn the memory nf n
I inly now residing Iu Siunpter an in
cident connected with Unit historic
chutactcr, that causes her expressive
lace to soften into Hues of pleasant
retrospection. She says:
"It was over at I'raiiio City iu the
early days, when 1 was a little ulrl,
i. or siiveu years of aye. No, I will
not tell you just how many yeaio nun
that was it would add nothiuK to
the Interest of this story. If you
liuve not bine more to say, 1 will re
sume. Well, as I Mild, I was a little
ulrl, uud that is why 1 happened to
bo atteudiutt au auction sale of a
merchant who wua closing out to
move with the stHUipede of argonauts
somewhere over Into Idaho.
"Among the articles being sold wua
a guitar. A store canted everything
iu those duya. We hud a lirnkeu In
strument iu the bouse; the sounding
I' hoard was ciucked mid only two
strings remained ; hut it was the joy
of my youthful life. I would pick
nu that pulr of strings hy the hour,
(Imagining thnt 1 was produelug
sweetest music.
"When this guitar, bright wilb
varnish, wua olfered tor pale, 1 longed
for it with mi intensity Unit you men
do fur sonie gundy hriind nf alleged
fmne. We, my little companion and
myself, spoke of its heimty, admired
it extravagantly iu out childish wiiy.
However, no hope entered my beurt
tbut ho superb a thing could ever he
mine.
"A rough miner standing near be
gan tn hid on it against someone iu
another part of the room, whom I
could not see. The bidding waa
lively, hut the old miner never
wavered and it was finally knocked
down to him at an nhaurrtly high
price, lie pulled out his lmcknkin
buu, poured Hold dual into the tculea
until they balanced wcIkIiIh placed
in the opposite pan, picked up the
Instrument iu its ahiuiiiK black
wooden case and handed it to me,
with tlie remark: 'Here little Kill,
this is for you,' and walked out of
the store.
"Never since hiive I been so over
whelmed with i-iii price, Kriititude and
lmppiuess. The first thought that
entered my bewildered mind waa
that I had uever read of any fairies
iu that roiiRli milae. That uuitur is
still oue of the sacred souveuirs of
childhood iu my old home iu another
state, aud will coutluue to lie one of
my must valued treasures. "

A load of concentrates from the
Uolcnnda, drawn by four horses, waa
