mother with Lloyd and the provisions
were in one wagon in the other were
the two partner with the picks shov-
els gold pans and the lumber for sluice
boxes and rockers
When after several days traveling
they arrived at the place where they
intended to mine the men cut down
some trees anil In the course of si week
built a log cabin They hail planned
to work a placer claim It hail heeil
mined long ago when gold was first
discovered in California but not very

the coarser gravel ami roek that would
not pass through the holes lu the sheet
iron bottom of the hopper As he did
so he noticed a pretty rock ho had
thrown out It was white with yellow
streaks lu It He found several more
pieces and put them in his pocket to
Tk his father what they were He
did not know that he had found sonic
very rich gold quartz but when he lift-
ed up the hopper and saw a line of yel-
low along both of the rilllo on the up-
per apron he was enough of a miner
to know that he had found rich pay
dirt The gold dust was conrcc some
of it being as large as grains of rice
He went to the camp anil got a gold
pan so that he could clean up the
rocker
That night when the men came to
supper Lloyd mother Mid lo her
husband
Well how did you do today Did
yon have a good cleanup
Lloyds father sighed am said No
little woman I am sorry to say that
our pay dirt is running out I am
afraid we made a mistake In not
sticking to the farm
Well Lloyd how did your cleanup
turn outV his fathcrvnked
Lloyd brought out the gold pan and
the pretty rocks and handed them
to his father When the men caught
sight of the coarse gold dust and nug-
gets In the pan ami the pieces of rich
gold quartz you should have heard

From the lirooklyn Eagle
thoroughly Lloyd liked to watch the
men shovel the dirt Into the sluice
boxes and see the swift muddy water
wash the roeks and coarse gravel out
at thy other end They found the
dirt was not very rich and sdieo
ilayn when they made a cleanup
they would lind 11 very small quantity
of gold dust in their rlilies less than
half an ounce for a whole days rui
Lloyd soon grew t red of watching
the mea work he wished to o soue
milling all by hlm elf so his father
one evening after ills own work nade
him a little rocker out of the t Jin Ilg it
boards or a dry geeds has and every-
day Lloyd would pla > lie was a nluer
Finally he carried his rocker up Vas
stream nearly a quarter of a mile
above whers his father was working
One of the men and called to him
Hello rocker whir ars you going
with that boy
Lloyd looked back Tit raid Were
going up tbs creel lo find a claim of
our own
Well g > ahead rrd good luck to
you the called after him
Lloyd did iiot Cad much color
along the creek so lis cairiiil his
rocker up a ir gulr 1 that led into
that stream
Next day Lbyd Tug till his hands
wets blistered and bin back ached

that the hole was nearly full or tntiddy

In cae place at the lowest part of
the gulch uar when his rocker was
set a rock cropped out 11 few Indies
lie did not knew It at the time but he
had gone to the best place possible
A few Inches below the surface he
struck beiliock It was quite irregu-

And without waiting for supper they
started fcr the place Lloyd could
hardly keep up with them they walked
S3 fast
When they got to his rocker Lloyd
showed them whore he had shoveled
up his dirt Taking his pick his father
struck the rock that cropped up In the
bottom cf the gulch lit picked up a
fragment that was broken off and
looked at It It was quartz heavily
veined with gold He bunded It to hi
partners and caught Lloyd up tossed
hiri in the air and said
Cur fortune Is made Youve found

gold on the creek has come
The men broke off several pieces of

was it that in tin course of a mouth
Lloyd s father who had all along felt
that tin life of ti mining camp was

FOR ENGLANDS HONORED DEAD
Proposition that Chapel of the Pyx Be
Made Scpulcher

tively ljttle room there for the Increas-
ing roll of Englands illustrious dead
The honor cf burial In the famous ab-

perative that further room shall be af-

later times It was the national ircas

It is every way fitting then that this
ancient inclosurc should become the
depository of Englands distinguished
dead Its connection with Westmin-
ster its earlier use and its ample
space meet all the requirements Even
its name is acceptable since the Pyx
was used only for holding the most
precious things of church and state

sponding to Westminster abbey With

ALWAYS HAS READY MONEY
JJr m Waldorf Astor Never Vithout
Kipfjul Ooia
It Is said In London that although
William Waldorr Astor occasiqnally
Indulges in vast expenditures such
as the purchase of Cliveden ora
splendid steam yacht he has taken to
parsimonious ways in small matters
They declare that on a recent occa-
sion he even objected to paying C
cents each for cabbages denouncing
it as a monstrous imposition on the
part of his grocer In his offices on
the Thames embankment stands a
steel desk one of the curiosities of
which is the petty cash drawer al
ways filled with sovereigns Mr
Astor it is said likes to feel that he
Is always In command of sufficient
ready cash to buy anything that may
happen to catch his eye and thus
from the couple of thousand pounds In
his drawer he takes handfuls of gold
Just as necessity may require When
Mr Astor went to London he kept In
his vault at Coutfs bank 1000000 sov
creigns 3000000
Millinery Fad of Heiress
Miss May Van Alcn the New York
heiress Is a godsend to her milliner
for she never wears the same hat
twice this being one of the eccentri-
cities for whicli she has become fa-
mous Her headcovering is always as
large as fashions law will allow Miss
Van Alens hats arc characterized by
outlandish touches She has one fine
Charlotte Corday hat In Valenciennes
lace The lace bands overlap one an-
other and a woman estimated there
were eight yards of finest lace wrap-
ped about the wire frame Miss Van
Alcn has one of those hebe hats
with a curtain effect In front that
droops almost to her nose Another
that has caused a stir is a rose pink
tulle bonnet with black strings She
wears It with a pale pink gown
Millionaire a Useful Citizen
It is generally conceded that the
most noted amateur experimenter In
America Is Col John Jacob Astor sol-
dier traveler hotel proprietor bache-
lor of science inventor and patentee
His turbine engine is to be tried on a
fitly horsepower automobile and a
thirty horsepower automobile His bi
cycle brake Is n utility and his pneu-
matic road improver may be an Im
portant Implement when we get to
building good roads Many other
tilings Col Astor has batched in his
100000 machine shop but his mod-
esty keeps them from exploitation
King Prizes Childrens Gift
Of the many presents that the king
of Denmark has received during his
long life there Is not one which he
rrlzes more than a crown of gold
which was given to him on the occa-
sion of his golden wedding by the
vchool children of Denmark The
crown is composed or golden corn ears
s nil clover cars No child it Is in-
teresting to add was permitted to
subscribe more than a penny toward
its purchase
liistrious dead are buried far and wide
Washington Jefferson and Lincoln
Americas most noted dead are buried
near their old homes
In a republic this Is best It empha-
sizes the family tic the rights of the
fireside and the return home when
duties tc the state and the public have
been nobly performed Glorious as
Westminister abbey Is the tombs at
Mount Vernon at MontlccIIo and at
Springfield arc better fitted to express
true America J sentiment than a single
national shrine
SENATORS WERE CLOSE FRIENDS
Mutual Respect Bond of Unity
vtT esr1t iTid asvyT
One of the most remarkable friend-
ships ever formed in congress was
that between Vest and Quay of Penn-
sylvania They esteemedhighly each
others qualities of personal charac-
ter and between them there was a
strong intellectual sympathy Never-
theless Vest because of his conviction
as to constitutional law found that he
could not vote for the admission of
Quay to the Senate upon the appoint-
ment or Gov Stone of Pennsylvania
The single vote of Vest would have
seated Quay and would have saved
him the long severe struggle which
resulted in his election by the legisla-
ture Ilcrore the roll was called Vest
told Quay in the Senate cloakroom
that his vote would be adverse He
made the statement with tears In his
eyes Quay who knew the loss or this
one vote would bar him temporarily
from the Senate shook Vest warmly
by the hand and declared that he re-
spected and loved his Missouri Demo-
cratic friend as much as ever
