BIJAH’N ELIXIR
The Old Han’s Rtrelpe fur Taming a
Natali Buy,
A woman aud boy slowly approached
the station.
They were mother and son.
The boy looked serious aud the moth
er was doing a great deal of talking
She said she heard that they had opened
a museum at the station, and. she asked
John Henry if he'd like to go aud see
the auimala.
“ 'Spnee they've got any snakes?” he
asked.
“/-ota of ’em.”
“Aud baboons?”
“Mure’u a duteo.”
“Aud stuffed bridegrooms?”
“Yes, heaps of ’em.”
The boy had his suspicions, but curi
osity oretcame them, and be Anally con
sented to go in. As he entered the par
lor the mother winked at Bijah over his
head, whispered the oue word ’‘eliiir,”
and she was gnue before John Henry
could realize the situation.
“I am glad to see you, my boy.” re
marked Bijah, by way of breaking the
ice.
“Where’s them baboons?” demanded
the boy, aa he looked around.
*‘My sou, the way of the transgressor
is hard, no matter whether the spelliug
book says so or not.”
“Where's that stuffed bridegroom?”
shouted the boy.
“(Je has gone out for a walk in the
mellow sunlight, Juhjuy. buy cone up
stairs and I’ll shnw you the enzir."
“You can’t fool me! ’
“There's no fooling about this. Ou
the coutrary, this is the very solemn oc
cation. Come ou.”
The boy suspected the worst, and mu
king a dive to get under the table he up
set it and came near gettiug nut doors.
He was Busily secured and elevated to
the second story, the door locked, and as
he was placed in the big chair labeled
“Meditation,” he had made up his tuiud
to die in the last ditch.
“Your mother didn’t have time to ez-
plain your oonduct nor detail your histo
ry,” remarked Bijah in a fatherly toue,
“but 1 thiuk she wants the elixir applied
on general principles.”
‘Murder.’ shouted the boy as he
tried to get out of the ehair.
‘I should like to sit here and study
your disposition,’ mused Bijah, but
time dies, and I'm a leetle bn auxious
to try this new spanker.”
'Don’t you dare!' shouted the boy,
having a dim idea of what was coming.
â– You observe, my son, that I fasten
this sheet-iron pad around my left leg as
• protection. If you feel like biting
bite away.
Then I place the el xir handy, bring
you out of the chair, so, bend you over
in this shape, and oow we are ready for
business. Let me remark at this stage
of the proceedings that my heart aches
for you.'

The Coarse of True Lave.
Lovers iu the mining country have a
plain aud bluuv way of getting married
in spits ofthe old fulka. A young man
iu Gold Hill wishing to wed a certain
girle in Virginia City, the parents op
posed the match. In spite of this a few

Gold Hill, and many people hearing ut
(heir determination, followed them in.
The ceremony waa soon over, and in s
voice that could bo heard all over the

minister, aside, “I'll make that right
tomorrow or uext day.” Entering a
carriage the happy pair were driven to
the homo of the groom’s parents. About
dark the mother of the bride knocked at
the door of the dwelling aud demanded
of the groom: “Where's my daughter?”
“She a here.” Was the reply. “1 want
her.” “You're just a little too late.
She a my wile, aud I waul her myself.”
To this rejuiuer the mother ventured to

Many of our readers, says the Reoo

last Sunday. It ia situated just west of
the Pyramid lake Indian reservation,

of laud sometbiog over half a mile in
width. They have no connection with
each other uoleie subterranean, and pan*

but it splits, one part going into Pyrs

water two miles wide end^five in length.
It derives its name from (he ducks, which
make it their headquarters. Iu surface
