THB MINER'S BEQUEST.

Of a (Mfirthl rvrtoa.
The other day we dm on Kearney
street an old-time Waahoe aequaint
ance called Jem Brlgzs, aavs the Son
Franstaeo Examiner, wboae uauaJly
well-worn miner's apparel wu on tbl
oooaaion replaced by a gorgeous dL-
pWy of velvet vest, check punta, red
scarf, and ponderous watch chain.
while his almple and boneat face ahone
above these evidences of prosperity
with the placid contentment of a full
harveat moon.
, "Hello, Jam," we said; "glad to see
you looking so prosperous. Must have
atruok It rich recently."
"So I have," said Jem, and then as
his tanned faoe saddened a little, he
continued, "but I bad a mighty tough
lots, though. My partner, Ned Bim
oei you rememoer ftedr nas gone
up the shaft."
"Dead.ehr
"Yes, I'll tell you how it wu. Ton
see Ned and I bad a quarrel about two
years ago. Don t matter now what It
wu all about, Mebbe Ned wu wrong
and mebbe I wu, but, all the aame,
neither of us would back down couple
er dam fools, you u say, and so we
were and the upshot wu that we
parted and agreed never to speak to
each other again."
"And didn't you?"
"No, sir; more shame for us, ea we
had been pard, thick and thin, for
fifteen years together. Well, about six
montha after that Ned got a good
gravel claim up on the Feather, where
they've been turning the river bed, and
he struck tt rich cleaned up nigh on
to r-'O.OOO in ten months'"
"And how were you getting onf"
"Oh, clean broke. Working up at
uold Jim lor W a duy. Well, I wu
kinder sneakin' glad to learn of Ned's
uck, for all we were outs, but the next
thing I beard was that he'd been killed
by the bank's caving in on blra. lie
ived Just long enough to raalte his
will. Well, the lawyers wrote u how
Ned wu worth Juat about $220,000,
and the will gave 19,000 apiece to each
of three distant cousins of hls'n they
tod all oome out from the Jaat when
they heard of Nod's And and the same
amount to me, mind you, Juat u
though we hadn't quarreled. But Ned
allers wu a 'centrlo sort of euss, and
the will provided that none of us should
get the money if we attended the
funeral. lie didn't want anybody at
tho funeral but Just the undertaker.
The will suld he bad 'lived lonely, and
he wonted to be burled lonely.' Them s
ust the words and I felt they were
intended for me, sure, The disposition
of the rest of the estate, about $200,000,
wu provided for in another codicil, to
be opened the day after the funeral,
but we all supposed it wu donated to a
charitable object, for Ned bad'nt any
kins 'ceptur the coualns."
"Of course you staid away from tho
funeralP" t
That's Just the point. Somehow I
foltso miserable and down-hearted
you see Ned wu the onllest partner I
ever had that I determined to go and
see him sent down on hlslaat cage any
waymoney or no money and I did."
And the couHlnsr" .
None of 'em went. Fact is that
they wore so dlsgunted at the 'dlvy'
that they clear out down to 'Frisco to
see about breaking the will. . Ho I wu
the only mourner at tha funoral. My
friends all thought that I was lit for the
crazy-house to throw away $.1,000 like
that well, I just couldn't help it. It
turned out, though, to be the best lead
ever struck.
"How wu thatf"
"Why the next dny when the main
will wu oponcd we found It reully gave
the entire balance of the clean-un to
which ever of us four disobeyed the
condition for tho $3,000 bequexts. So
you see I came In for tho whole lump
juHt like a knife. And do you know,"
continued the legatee, a aure ah

Ned put up the whole job a purpoo

hoehold duties, for John never thinks
of hiring a day's help for me, that I do
not go to church mora than once or
twice a year, and never think of taking
time to read, not even a chapter In the
Bible.
Wife second has eleven children and
has devoted so much of bar time to

AN INDIANA EXCHANGE,

lla Arraafad,
The great struggle for matrimonial
annulment goes on. The latest case
of lnterettt Is reported from that home
of easy matrimonial adjustment, tho
slate of Indiana, aud while not al
together a succohs u yet, will no doubt
end to the satisfaction of thoae in.
volved.
Frank Helms lives at Williamsburg
and Daniel Smith at Carlos City. They
mot recently In the farmers' Home
Itotel In Columbus. They wcro not
acquainted, but in tho evening, after
abuaing the government for an hour or
so and telling about the hardest winter
they over remembered, their conversa
tion drifted to the subject of wives.
Each announced, u a matter of courae,
that he was dissatinfiod with his wife.
Smith's grievance wu that his wife
lacked energy and decision of character.
She wu too meek and mild and not a
woman calculated to grapple with tho
stern realities of life in Indiana and
come out victorious. Of course, Smith
admired a woman of exaotly the op-
poaite temperament.
"What I like In a woman, said Smith
to Helms, "in life and got-up-and-get.
I want her to have a mind of her own,
and a tempor of her own, too, for that
matter, and to be able to bring a little
stir and pop Into ahoiiMohold. I admire
pop, but there la no pop iu my family.
What I want Is pop with two big P's
and anlzlble O." Helms looked at
Smith a moment and said he wu not a
worshiper of that kind of woman,
though he had one for a wife. What
he admired wo mildness and serenity
in a woman. Ho liked these clinging,
holpleaa, vlne-llko women. "But," he
said, looking at Smith cloaely. "If you
are hunting for pop, you want my wife.
She will bring pop Into your hottae with
circua-iwster lottera a foot high. She
Is all pop, and lost week ahe chased a
tramp out of the yard and hit him with
an old wheelbun-ow handle when he
jumped over the garden gate so you
could hear the crash a hundred yards.
Helms carried one of his anna In a
sling and m he nursod it he continued
eloquent on the aubject of hie wife's
groat force of character. She alwavs
got up, he suld, at 6 o'clock In the
morning and wus master of the situa
tion till 11 at night. It was all a
man's life wu worth to "track in"
mud on her kitchen floor, lie had
lived with her aevonteoit years and bad
never yet dared to tell her that her
cooking waa not so good as his
rooiher'a. though that wu his honeat
opinion. Her cooklr.g looked good,
but tt didn't have the tat that bis
mother's had. When Helms ftnlahed
Smith's fae glowed with SittUfactlon.
