chanfee In the types of the wit and humor
of tninlna; camp life. but. many ot the
original charactarietlcs reanaln, (or the
American fold differ at heart la (till more
than half child; ha still retain his serious'
nesa of purpose, hta contempt for eooTeiM
tionallty, hie reckleaa brarery, hla tender
sympathy and hla reverence for the female
of his species. His sentimental regard for
womankind might lead him even at thta
late date to repeat the Incident cf Eugene
Field's . "Three-Fingered" Hoover, Who
pulled iua gun in the theater and .ordered
Armand to desist In hla struggle' with
Camilla. A search of latuiday mining
camps would reveal more than om "Casey

There la less perhaps of the grim type
of humor depicted in the story of the
miners "who lynched the wrong man amd
apologised to his widow by saying, 'the
laugh is on ua," but it haa not been enany
years since a miner from Leadvllla, where
Chinamen are not allowed, on trip to
the Black Hills of Bouth Dakota, ahot
a Chinaman to gratify hia curiosity to see
Chinese funeral.
That there are few. if any. latter-day i
examplea of mining camp humor, worthy
of comparison with the earlier ork of
Harte. Twain and Field may be due rather
to a lack of humorists among western
writers than to a lack of material There
was one mining cafp Incident of com
paratively recent date that needed but the
pea of a true humorist to produce another
masterpiece. It happened on the night tf
the national election of U9 In little
camp tucked away In the mountains of
eour"M.eetern Colorado, where the only
mrQ kt communication with the world
waa a single, uncertain telegraph wire and
a single, more uncertain telegraph operator.
Naturally, only the merest scrap ot elec
tion news reached the camp, but before
the certain news of McKinley"s election
could have been got the uncertain operator
had fallen a victhn to hia favorite vice,
and. further, had fallen beneath the table,
with a muttered cheer for Bryan. '
Uolmsr Off at Ha4(-Cek.
The only other person ' who knew any
thing about telegraphy was the local wit
and humorist, who volunteered his eerr
lces. Political sentiment was aflame for
Bryan. News of hla election waa not only
sought, but demanded, for the average
- American miner is aa sanguine concerning
the uncertainties ot politic as he is eon
earning the uncertainties of mining. More
over, there was a general belief that the
triumph of the free coinage of silver wonM
trareform evry mother'e son of them into

was the ' genial-' of the camp. The "boys''
had placed stores of giant powder at va
rious points; they hd ctsntd and oiled
their slx shooiers and refilled their car

lighted uu the hiilaides. and natural en

shorty" waa not the man to neglect an
opportunity like that. The fret bulletin
he handed t the waiting crowd stated
that New York and Indiana were In doubU
. and it Ux.ked like a close election, with the
chances favoring Bryan. That whetted the
crowd's keen appetite for returns to iJr
edge. The arcond bulletin sent their spir
its UP with a heap: "Bryaa haa carried
Kauaas and the deinucraia tut claiming
Iowa."
Whoopee!" from the crowd.
"Shoity" bent hla ear to the clicking
sounder and luscrloed -nuileiia. No. I:

Wbea the deafenlna chorus bad died

be too conservative In a caAe like this."
After a long pause. In which the crowd
displayed much Impatience, the Imper
turbable and conservative "Shorty" tran
scribed Bulletin No. i, but before' passins
it out, said:
"Now, boys, don't do anything raah; wait
for the actual returns."
Bulletin. No. 4 read: "Senator Jones
claims Ohio and Pennsylvania for Bryan."
Cpder ordinary clrcumstanoea a doubt
might have been expressed concerning the
probability of such states reversing their
political records; but 'the crowd was con
vinced of an Impeding landslide for their
favorite and yelled with delight. "Now
we are beginning to get the news," re
marked "Shorty" when the cheering
ceased, and he began to write bulletin No.
E, as follows:
"New Tork gfVee Bryan 100.000 plurality;
Indiana. 40.000. Returns from Wisconsin
and Minnesota Indicate large democratic
tains.! , " ; ..

Another fragment broke front, the crow
and Tttn down the street, shouting the
news. The new operator's pencil was
traveling rapidly over the paper while his
friends and fellow citizens crowded- closely
upon him and read as be wrote bulletin
No. 7: "Mark Hanna had locked up re
publican headquarters and gone home."
The roar of the crowd was drowned by
the roax of exploding giant powder. Build
ings shook, windows rattled, accompanied
by the crash of broken giaja. The celebra
tion waa on, and "Shorty" Mclntyre was
alone with hia thoughts.
The celebration . lasted for two days.
The morning after election - the regular
operator had recovered sufficiently - to
transcribe ' messages announcing Mc Kin
ley's victory- Those who were sober
enough -to understand them didn't believe
them. After reveral warnings of what
would happen to him "if be didn't quit
tryinff to fool people," the operator de
sisted and Joined in the general jubilation.
Not until the arrival of the Denver papers
on the second day did that ramp awake
to a realization of the outcome of the elec
tion, and then there was not sufficient
energy left to vent even indignation upon
"Shorty," much less to take revenge. On
the third day the volunteer operator waa
more popular than ever, for all admitted
he had given them the time of their lives.
Doira la tbe Mlar.
These Incidents are equally modern In
point of time, although less characteristic
of early day mining camp wit and humor.
The directors of a mining company with
headquarters in New York, upon whose
property a "shoot" of milling ore waa dis
covered, decided to build a large and ex
pensive mill against the protest of the
tdperintendent. When the mill waa com
pleted the ore shoot had come to an end
A new superintendent was employed and
exploration work soon disclosed another
body of mineral. Anxious to make a record
and also to revive the early enthusiasm of
the directors, the new superintendent se
lected a soap-boxful of the choicest sam
ples and sent them by express to the
board.
The day after their arrival In New York
he received the following telegram: "Start
the mill at once."
The second ore body proved to be bat
a small "pocket," and that very morning
It had completely played out. Explanations
by telegraph were out of the question.
The new superintendent waa. In a quandary,
He was noted, however, for readiness in
an emergency. His native talent did not
desert him. He suddenly got a bright idea,
and hurrying down to the telegraph office
dispatched this reply:
"Send bark the mine and I will start the
mill."
- The superintendent of the mine. In driv
ing a tunnel, struck a body of ore; the
vein was vertical and had a sharp dip. To
develop it and get ready to mine tbe ore it

was necessary to put down a winze; that
is to say, to sink a shaft In this instance
an Incline.
Elated over the discovery, he telegraphed
the board that be had struck the rich
shipping ore, and received the laconic re
ply to begin shipping at once.
He wired that he could not ahip any ore
until he had a wlnse on the vein.
"How much will the winze cost?" was tbe
telegraphic query.
"One thousand dollars," he replied,
promptly.
The next query floored him. It read:
"Can't you buy a secondhand winze

on a portrait of Shakespeare in the pros

there?" 'he inquired.
"Shakeepeare'a," was the answer.
"Shakespeare," mused the magnate, evi
dently falling to Identify the subject of
the portrait. "What did be ever do for
Leadvllle? Paint him out and paint me

for his view on tbe new tariff bill.
"I don't know much about It," he said,
"but you can say in your paper that If
the government can't afford It I'll pay it
myself." ' '
The wit, humor, pathoa and poetry of
the miner's nature Is often expressed In
the namea he gives to his claims and In
the notneclature he fastens upon hia
environment.
"The Broken Tall Torn Cat," "Iron Dol
lar," "Miner's Dream." "Nigger Baby."
"Solid Muldoom." "Jack Pot," "Holy

"Buckskin Joe" are mining camps, past or
present.
"Why do they call this stream "Thirty-Nine-Mile

You can't smoke humans away from deviltry with Hreand-brimstone threats.
But we'll willingly gallop to salvation along a rosy path. We balk at health,
foods which taste like bran or hay, and shy at "hygiene" shoes because they
are usually as beautiful as a busted crutch.
"Must my feet look ugly like that to be comfortable?" aski the woman, and the decides to suffer.
"Squeeze mine," decides the man, "if ease means spreading my toes like a rooster's.
Dut give us shoes which look well even though they are healthful, and we'll line
up with both feet and cheer the word along. '
The Gotzian Health & Walk Easy Shoe for Men and
Women does not cinch nerves and bloodvessels with
'devilish persistency and torment the helpless toes.
This shoe does not bind like a vise. It supports
like a stay.
The linings are smooth as a glove.
The sole, made of leather, cork, canvas and finest
lamb's wool and felt, is a non-conductor of heat, cold
and dampness, and is as soft as a cushion to the weary.
But the Gotzian Health & Walk Easy Shoe differs
from every other health and comfort shoe in this:
There is nothing clumsy, peculiar or eccentric about
its appearance. It does not, like most health and
comfort shoes, snggest a shovel,' a flatiron or a hos
pital. It is made in all the fashionable shapes and in
all kinds of leather.
The Only Fashionable Health and Comfort Shoe
for Men and Women on.the Market.

Made in St. Paul; it is sold everywhere in most
styles at $5 or $6 and outwears several pairs of
