40+o+o+o*o^o4*o*o+o*o+o4>c4) 0 o 1 A Desert Mystery | ? ????????o4o*e>o?>o^o*o^o?>oj Colonel Whitehead, is a story tell er from way back and has a reputa tion as a raconteur that spreads over a dozen western states and terri tories and from the waters of tho :A? lani ic io those of the Faei?c. He "has had innumerable thrilling adven tures both in war and in peace, and when in thc proper humor he will spin yarns of tho most absorbing interest by the hour. One story that he related as we were jogging along behind the mules on a recent trip to the undoubted gateway of sheol-j. e., the sulphur hanks of Kern county-is so uncan ny and strange that I will venture to repeat it. "Some three years ago/' said thc .colonel, "I was engaged in making a survey from Roger.*, on the Mo jave desert, to Antioch. Wo made rapid progress toward Fort Tejon pass, and it became necessary to ?check up thc line, measuring dis tances from government corners, that the road might be accurately located upon the filing map. This work wa s assigned to an odd genius ivhom I will call Buck, a man past Fi^ty-five, tough as a knot aa? as wicked as a pirate. Frequently he would set his rickety old transit ?with the lena wrong end to, and af ti er trying to locate the flag for fif teen or twenty minutes he would discover his error, and then such swearing as ho indulged in is rarely .heard outside the forecastle of a man-of-war. I sometimes think the strange manifestation which I am jihmi'' to r-plfttp to von miirht h a VA -- ?- -- ?,-----o-- - - bein due to Buck's profanity. Cer tainly if man can ever have power to summon spirits, evil or good, from the nether world, Buck ought to have had that power in no small measure. "I began the inspection of the survey preparatory to the right of way work, starting at Bogers, a des olate station on the A. and P. road, on the borders of an immense dry lake. We made our first camp some fifteen miles west of that point. The regular survey camp was at this timo near Gorman's Station, under the shadows of Mount Frazier. Our camp was a rude settler's cabin, and near it was a shack barn with a lit tle hay' stored in it. A well of fair ly good water close by made a com iortablc camp a possibility. It was late in October, and the water had risen near the surface in tho bed of the dry lake. We had eaten our ?upper the first night out and were having a quiet smoke, looking out over the desolate expanse of desert . toward Lancaster, a station on thc Southern Pacific road, 6ome twenty five or thirty mile3 to the southwest. Buck had been entertaining us with varna about ghosts tbV- he insisted 'haunted an old. mining camp neai Owens lake and was inclined to feel hurt because I laughed at his tales. "When darkness came on and onlj the outlines of the gaunt mountain* across tho desert were discernible ir the starlight Buck of a sudden said 'Colonel, I never thought an engine headlight could be seen so plainly ai .Lancaster/ "'Nor did 1/ was my reply as 3 saw close to the ground at a distance difficult to estimate a round, strang? colored ljght or ball of fire, verj like a locomotive headlight. A mo ment's watching, however, soon con vinc?d me that the light was er retie in its movements and wat nothing more or less than a grant display of the ignis fatuus, or will o'-the-wisp, something I had eeei many times at the ends of the spar or mastheads of a ship at sea, bu never on land or in such magnitude J said to Buck: 'It's no headlight Ifs one of your ghosts come to con vince me of the truth of your sto ries/ He turned white as a shee ?md grasped me by the arm, saying lt's coming dead for us, sure aa w live/ "And BO it was. Dancing up an' down, it came nearer and nearer, most confess it. made even me trifle nervous, while, aa for Buck, h .evidently took my joke about th ?ho?t in dead earnest and was core pleteiy panic stricken. Tor God' sake/ he cried, 'let ns. get out o .this V and was on the point of junu: ing up and ruining off into the de* crt when all of a sudden the Ugh disappeared and was seen no mox that night. "Buck finally quieted dowi though I could eee by his nervous ness and frequent, quick glances i the direction in which the light ha appeared that he was still in drea of its. reappearance. "I discussed tho matter with hil for; hours, trying to explain the rei nature of the phenomenon and a: suring him no harm could come of i But he wopld not hayo it that wa; and all that I could gay did .not ii fluence his superstitious dread < the strange appearance.. . v ?' . . " 'Colonel/ he said, 'it's a hoodo This railroad Boheme and its pr moters will die suddenly. - Surer "I laughed at his fears, ?nd v lay. down to rather a restless nigh (Tho work* in thia section was n completed next day in time to i -tom tb the main camp, and half dozen times in the course of tl work -Buck spoke about the 'ghost ! en he persisted in calling ?tho ph nom en On, and he was even; mo muddled, than usual in his manip .lattin 'of the transit. : Finally 1 slowness caused night to como < before our task was completed, ai wo therefore returned at dusk to t . --?ame camping place as the night I "fore. _i ' -fe -'. 2. "After we hail eaten supper Buck paid: 'Colonel, I never want to see that infernal light again. Ghosts or no ghosts, it's no good, and no luck will come of it/ "The words were scarcely out of his mouth when, apparently not more than a hundred yards away, the huge ball of fro appeared like a flash, dancing up and down and Eecniingly corning dead toward us. Now Buck became almost beside himself with terror. 'Let's go. and the quicker the better!' shouted my now thoroughly alarmed companion, but suddenly, as on the previous night, the light vanished. Buck then recovered some portion of hia equanimity, and, though he was still anxious to return to camp, I finally persuaded him that there was danger that we would lose our way if we ventured out on the desert aft er dark, while if wc remained there was nothing to be afraid of. Nei ther of us slept much, however, for I must confess that I had a sort of creepy sensation myself, and "we were up early next morning, com pleted our work and got an early start back to camp. "While wc were on the road Buck said: 'Colonel, I don't want to dis courage you, but the people who are at the head of this scheme to build a competing railrpad will die sud denly, and this work will stop. In fact, J. wouldn't wonder if you and I both went over tho range with them to keep them, company. But they are going, sure.' "Howlittle you know/1 replied, and I could. say no more, as my 'backers were then unknown. "Now let mo tell you the strange sequel. Tho Very same week that Suck mads his prediction tue uur fetas failed. Early in November iSbry D. Minot, the leading spirit and financial head of the enterprise, was killed in a railroad accident while returning from Washington, where he had concluded the pur chase of General Beale's ranches in every detail save the passing of thc papera and paying the money, the intention having been to subdivide that immense estate of 264,000 acres. "On Thanksgiving day of the same month came orders to close thc work, discharge everybody and break camp. The following year Allan Manvel, president of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road, died after a brief illness, he having been the second backer of this great enterprise, and soon fol lowed the death of Mr. Magoun of the great banking house of Baring, Magoun & Co., the third and last of thc promoters of a rival railroad to the Southern pacific system." "What became of Buck?" I asked as the colonel paused. "Buck ? Just read that clipping," and the colonel took from his pock etbook a worn bit of newspaper and handed it to me. It read as fol lows: Bagdad, Colorado Desert. Jan. 16, 1889. An old Inspector and surveyor known as Buck Pomeroy disappeared mysteriously from, his camp at thia point three day a ajro, and no trace of him has been found. He was in company with two friends and was apparent!y in good health and spirits. They all retired, as customary, early In the evening*, but in the morning Buck was missing, and diligent search has failed to find him. He went away just aa he was rolled in his blankets-barefooted and half dressed. One of the men said ha thought ho heard Buck's voice in the night saying something about some ghosts being after him, but he thought it was a dream and so paid no attention to lt. Buck has evi dently joined that innumerable caravan Of men whose bones whiten the remo*' sections of the desert and wiU doutta s remain forever without burial. I folded up the clipping and re turned it to the colonel. He put it back in his pocketbook without a word.-San Francisco Call. Reassured. Sir Philip Currie relates the fol lowing of a well known London cafe: "I never .dined at Limmer'a before. It used to have the charac ter of being rather a, rendezvous of high livers. In fact, it was averred that so many of its habitues suffer ed from delirium tremens that wl^n some one who waa not of tba* per suasion wea dining' there a mouse cam-J on the tab! o and began to nib? ble a piece, of ? bread.

HOW SHE GOT EVEN. One Woman's Method of Humbling a Carole?? Conductor. She was one of those women with * righteous look and firm chin. Please stop at Thirty-ninth . rt A" she) said to the conductor *s the car whizzed past Thirty-sixth 6treet. At the nexi corner she rose, io be ready tc alight, but the ear did not slow up, the conductor being busy doing the hospitality of his car to a chanco acquaintance. Before site could catch his eye and stop the car she had gone a block past her des tination. She put her foot on the step, then drew it back and cn linly sat down, again. The conductor, his hand on the bell rope, waited, the picture of vigilant duty. She gazed straight ahead and made no sign. With a profano r?hiark he jerked the rope, and the car moved on. Two blocks farther she arose and caught his eye again. This timo ho managed to stop at the first corner. But she apparently, changed her mind and sank comfortably into her seat, while an appreciative smile' overspread the faces of the other passengers. At the end of another two blocks she once more signaled to him to stop, and, though ho' was bursting with wrath, a dozen pairs of eyes were upon him, and ne controlled himself. The car came to a oUind still, but oho did not move. AIt's the next corner I want,** she explained in a clear vo\ce as a 'titter went around the car. "When I ask ed you to stop at Tairty-ninth you carried me to Fortieth, so I sup posed if I signaled you for Forty third vou'd car rv rna to 1 Forty fourth/' And at the next come? she smiled graciously at the conductor as she stepped down and out.-Chicago Inter Ocean. Entitled to a Pardon. Many anecdotes of General Sam Houston are told which show that his tongue was by no means slow or his wit dull. As General B. had been financial agent to the peniten tiary for a number of years and warmly opposed General Houston's last election as governor of Texas ho feared ho would lose his debirable office. He therefore presented a pe tition in duo time asking that he might be retained, his "long and faithful services" being urged as a reason for granting the request of the petitioners. "It appears, from this' petition, general, said the governor, "that you have been in tho penitentiary eight years/' "Yes, sir." "And you say that you have per formed faithfully each and every duty imposed upon you during that time?" - . "Yes, sir." "Then, sir," said the governor, with a twinkle in his eye, "it seems to me I ought to pardon you out." Detecting . Thief.? I A gentleman living in the West I Indies had a large sugar plantation with a great number of native la* borers employed on it. He found that he was often robbed, and at length, after losing a considerable sum, he called his servants together. "My friends," said he, "I have had a wonderful dream in the night. I dreamed that the person who stole my monev should nave at thia in stant a leather on the tip of his noaa* The thief on hearing this imme diately put his hand to his nose to see if the feather was there. "It ia you,** cried the master, "who robbed mel** The Himple negro confessed the theft, and the master recovered his money. , ' Impudent. A certain aged banker in the course of conversation the other day made bitter complaint of the flip p?noy, not to say impudence, that pasees for wit among a certain class of youth. "I was talking with ? young man of my acquaintance," ho said, "and ow* ot ? desire to help him I gave him a few bita of advice, I told him that 'economizo' should bo his watchword and mentioned the tact that I had laid the' foundation of my fortune by saving street car fares. And what do you think the impu dent dog said?' Why, he grinned and remarked, 1 never knew you were a conductor/ "-Kansas City Independent. Mathematics and Money.

ANCIENT IRISH FORTS. y'-cy Are Remnants of the Age of Cy clopean Masonry. Off the coast of Ireland, north, west and south, lies island behind island. FJW know them, and still fewer realize the wealth of anti quarian remains which have lain biddon there for more than a thou sand years. First in interest, as in age, come the defensive works of uncertain date, beginning in tho fourth century B. C. Of these the promontory forts are the simplest in construction, being defended, often on three sides, by thc high cliffs to ward the sea, necessitating only a single line of defense on thc land ward side. They belong to an ajro of cyclopean masonry, when tho stones were piled together, one above thc other, mortarless, but with a power of resistance which yields only to thc hand of man. Some of the forts are constructed in tho well known 'Ting wall" type to be found throughout the British isles, central Europe and in Mashon aland. At Fahan, near Bent ry, the fort was obviously residential instead of being merely used, as in many cases, for a place of short retreat during the hasty raids of Danish or earlier invaders. Here a "souterram" is to be found and a careful system of defense, for tho enemy, entering through the contracted passage, if ho escaped the first attack, found himself suddenly confronted by a wall and, the only exit being a trap door, was easily killed by the spear man above. It is rare to find a spring of water, within tho fort. There was, however, usually a spring som6 200 Or 30Q yarda awuy. Situated for the most part on cliffs or on great hillsides overlook ing the sea, these coast forts com mand a magnificent view. Hound them thc sea birds circle, calling. The huge waves of the Atlantic sweep up, beating against them in vain, and afar off the lines of a mountainous coast stand out blue in tho softened atmosphere, running down sheer into the sea, with the long line of white gray smoko telling of the burning kelp along their base. Evidence of Wealth. That wealth is one of the most comparative of terms, those in mod erate circumstances often being con sidered "rich" by persons of lesa means, was aptly illustrated by an old colored "mammy" in East Balti more several days ago. She had been doing the laundry work of a certain family for quite awhile, but deciding to leave the neighborhood she had come to tell them that she would no longer be able to perform these duties. The lady of the house, wishing to secure another good washerwoman, inquired of the faith ful "mammy" as to the reliability Xii another colored woman who she happened to know lived next door toner. "Law, missus," replied the old darky, "dat woman doan' do no wash in'! She's rich, she is. She's I got a doorbell to her house."-Bal ' timore Sun. . Business. "Say, old man, I want to talk business to you a few minutes." "Certainly; go ahead." "Could you lend me $25 without inconvenience?" "Tes, I think I could." "Thanks. I'll return it shortly." "What security will you give ?" '."Why-er-I-didn't > think any necessary." "Oh, probably I misunderstood yon! I thought you said you want ed to talk business." A Flattering Comparison. , "So you think you ore a neglect ed genius ?" "I'm sure of it," said the solemn citizen. .* . "Perhaps you have hidden your light under a bushel ?" r?o ; it isn't that. But you must bear in mind that the star Arcturus, which ia really many times as large as our sun? does not produce as mnch of a public impression as a bicycle lamp."--Washington Star. lit Carly Days. Captain Kidd had just lowered a oftest of treasure into the sea after carefully dmr ting the spot. "I suppose," ho mused as he watched the bubbles rise and float upon the water ; "I suppose that one of those corporation pirates would call that my sinking fund." Those who heard him afterward claimed that the captain was one of j the pioneers in the watered capital game.-Cleveland Leader. Might BevUeeful In the Family. Subbubs-What !

TREATING A TOOTHACHE. ? ?flow tho Tantalizing Pains May Be Speedily Allayed. Toot linche is a little thing in tho dooks, hut many physicians would rather meet a burglar at the door 0:1 a dark night than a call to euro a bad toothache of several days' con ti nuance. A hypodermic ot* mor phine only postpones tho evil day, and usually tho patient ia respect fully referred to tho dentist. The tooth should not bo extracted while tho jaw and gums aro inflamed and tho latter swollen, and it is tho phy sician's duty to treat tho case until tho abo.v?) conditions are removed. Always keep a small vial containing thc following mixture: Chloroform, gtt. x.; glycerin, ?rtI. x.; sat. sol. ac. carbol., git. x.; morphine, gr. j., with a small wad of absorbent cot ton. If the ollending tooth has a cavity or decayed surface, saturate a small pellet of cotton with tho above mixture and put into the cavi ty or against thc decayed surface, ns tho case may bc. Never pack this cotton in or the moro is thc troub'o, but have tho pellet small enough to enter without crowding, in most cases this will end tho trouble. When tho gums arc fwollen and tender, paint two or three times, two min utes apart, with a 4 per cent solu tion of cocaine. The patient may have been eating a good deal of fruit. The tongue and mucous mem brane of tho mouth aro pale-sour stomach--and next day. the tooth ache will return. Givo ten grainB of subcarbonato of bismuth and ten grains of phe nacetin at onco and a similar dose beforo each of tho three following meals, .with a laxative, if needed, and stop ali fruit for a few days, and it will not return. Tho same powder every two hours with cessation of fruit rating will stop the persistent, tormenting neuralgias.-Exchange. They "Wanted to Know." A jeweler in a railroad town kept a large clock in his establishment a "regulator"-for tho benefit of the many employees of tho roads, and he took much pains to soe that it was always correct. This, howev er, did not prevent the frequent question : "Say, is that clock right ?" Tiring of this at last, he caused to be printed in large letters tho word "Yes," and this ho pasted across the front of the clock as con spicuously as possible without hid ing the dial. But there was where his real trouble began. Every mun and tioy who came and some of tho women asked him what that "Yes" meant. In desperation one day, aft er explaining to nineteen persons within an hour what that "Y/es" meant, he called his shop boy and said: "James, get a stepladder and wash that Tfes* off that clock before I go crazy and hurt somebody."-Chi cago Becord-Herald. Needed Another Doctor. 1 A Chicago doctor tells of a phy sician who administered such bitter doses of medicine that tho pain of disease was nothing compared to the agony caused by the doctor's reme dies. One evening this doctor dis covered a brother physician's buggy at the door of a residence in which rested a patient whom he had that morning declared convalescent and in no further need of medical at tention. The doctor hurried to tho house, and when he had questioned con cerning his patient's relapse, aa sug gested by the presence of a rival, he received this answer: "Mr. Blank is cured, but hsa had Dr. Brown come over to take that bad tasto out of his mouth." Working an Artiet. "Tn Chicago ono day," said Sir Philip Burne-Jones, "a reporter ask *d me to dra*v a few faces for him -one especially of a lady yawn? ing. Thoughtlessly and innocently enough I zeil into the trap and scribbled down some imaginary typical heads, to which I added a caricature of myself. The follow ing day these were reproduced in a journal, together with some words to the effect that some of the heads were intended to represent well known women in Chicago society/' Stopped Hie Laugh. A man bogan to laugh immoder ately over some amusing narrative and finally, to his dismay, was con scious that he could not stop. Tho doctor had given him up, and the family were gathering around in ex pectation of the end when a tele gram arrived saying that his wife's mother was coming to make a short visit. He was saved and has laugh ed no more.-London Tit-Bits. One Ho Didn't Want. "Barringer, have you a dollar you don't want?" "Why, certainly. Here it is." The next day : "I say, Barringer, that dollar you gave me waa a bad one." "Yes, Bromley. You asked me if I had a dollar that I didn't want." - Those quiekest to forgive an in jury are the slowest to forget a favor. - We oan listen with patience to everybody but the man with a griev ance.' - Tbe man who never had a tooth ache is. always quick .to recommend the dentist. - A dollar always looks bigger when yon pay it back than when yon borrow it. - There is the greatest demand for | cotton pickers in the cotton region of Texas known iq tweuty years, and in Diaoy cities and towns, draymen, de livery boys and cooks aud even hotel helpers have been induced by high prices paid for picking to go to tho fields. The hot weather of the past ten days has caused all the cotton not destroyed by insects to op.cn, thus creating an extraordinary demaud for pickers.
