But camps they still seem to be, with the camp atmosphere of genial rough ness, the camp lingo, and the camp character there is about half of com pliment and half ot derogation in that statement. To compare the cities is hazardous, for I imagine they are about aB kindly affectioned one to the other as twin cities commonly are. Dead wood is the terminus of the main line. Lead is side tracked on a little narrow- guage line up a canyon. The nobby baby engine goes puffing with its one light car up to Lead and down to Dead wood about every hour.

It does not sa that a man should not covot his neighbor's wheel. I see that poor Gruett has been taken to an insane asylum. Well, he always was peculiar. - How so? He never was photographed in even ing dress. The man who believes that made up ot disappointments is disappointed in his belief. life is never WOMAN'S WIT.

Definition Applied to Himself by au In active Army Offloer. "At a recent reception at which tho fashion and beauty of Denver were assembled one of the ladles found her self seated next to Gen. Sumner," says the Denver Times. "He had been pre sented to her earlier In the evening, but she had not quite caught bis name certainly not his title. Beamingly, she asked: 'May I ask what Is your occupation? Don't think me rude, for I have made a study of determining such matters without asking questions, but I must confess that you puzzle me. I am at a complete loss to place you.' 'Madam,' replied the commander of tho department of tho Colorado, with his most serious countenance, 'I am a squaw man.' A a what?' she man aged to gasp. 'A squaw man, madam.' 'I am afraid I don't quite understand yet,' said the fair interlocutor after a few minutes' cogitation, in which she took In the general's whole appearance, and decided that there must be another meaning to the term beside that to which she had been nccustomed. 'Why, that is easy enouch to cumlaln in cities to the coming census, for the Lead people say Lead haB a greater popula tion, and Deadwood also claims au" premacy in sisterly fashion. Just from appearances one would take Lead to be the larger town, because you can see it all in a bird's-eye view, with the business houses cramped along one narrow street in the bottom of the canyon and the residence portions climbing the bills around. Deadwood seems to have more room in the hollow of the canyon and it strings out interminably to the smelters two miles or so below. Many fine residences are half hidden up among the pines. You would imagine V that a wealthy man would build some sort of elevator so that he might reach hid Lares and Penates at night with strength and ambition enough to enjoy them. Deadwood is really a very pretty city, though it would be more attractive if it could escape from the ugly trick Lead plays that awful gray water which comes down from the roaring stamps of the Homestake mills! Spear fish river would make Deadwood all that could be wished, but instead it has that hideous gray stream good for nothing and a plague on the sight. It can not be used to put out fires, and I seriously doubt if it would make an end of even the ninth life of a superfluous kitten. All the way down the canyon from Lead it comes, stopped in its course occasionally by men searching for the last dregs of gold, run through a straining process in one place so that the clear water may be used in the mill again-despite the Dutchman's "Der mill it vffl not grind some more, Mit der vater dot is bast." V- It is not a filthy stream, the color comes from the ground ore which the water washee in the mill.
