Appropos of the
Sunday Rest Law
The Lid a.t Bugville.
(By James Barton Adams in Good win's Weekly).
We had seen the storm a-brewin', an'
we felt that it would break
In a mauner that was goiu' fur to give
our hearts an ache,
But the co uncil was determined, an' the
wimmen folks eu masse
Was around'em an' a-howlin' fur the
ordinance to pass.
'Twas a measure we had battled in a
most heroic way
Fur a closin' up the gin mills on the
holy Sabbath day,
An' its passage seemed to knock us
helter-skelter off our base
As we stood around an' stared the situ
ation in the face!
How the female hens did cackle when
they seed they'd gaiued their p'iut
An' had knocked the ripened noses of
us fellers out of j'iut.
An' they said the day was dawnin'
the moral sun'd rise
O'er the rescued camp o' Bugville in a
way t'd scorch our eyes!
Fur the gentle power o' wimmen that
was hallowed from above
Was behind the ear o' Progress an' was
givin' it a shove,
Au' they'd keep the wheels a rollin' till
they pulied it from the mire
An' the camp was fumigated—purified
as if with fir.-.
an'
We had alius heltour lawyer an uneces
sary scamp,
To be tolerated only at the pleasure o'
the camp,
But iu cornin' to our rescue iu that sore
dilemma we
Sung his praises as an angel in a mighty
joyous key.
He explained that a prescription from
a doctor for our booze
Was a legal sort o' paper that no drug
gist dare refuse,
An' the medico had told him that his
Suuüay hours was plum
From the breakin' o' the daylight till
his patieuts ceased to come.
Talk about yer epidemics! Every feller
iu the camp
Rdu the gamut o' diseases from con
sumptiou dow n to cramp,
An' the doctor w rit prescriptions, au'
the druggist done the rest,
An' a w ilder jag was never placed on
record in the west.
Now us fellers is rejoicin' an' the wiui
men are iu tet,rs
An' are beggiu' o' the council fur to
alienate their fears
By repealin' o' the measure, far the drug
store booze they And
Carries more red lire o' slieol than the
regular 01 ' kind.

The Local Editor of Toda-y.
The country editor of toduv is com
ing into his ow n. He asks fewer favois
aud brings more into the store of com
mon good. He lines uot as* eulogies,
nor does he reseut fair criticisms. He
is content to be judged by what he is
and what he has accomplished. As the
leader of the hosts must hold his place
by the conseut of his followers, so must
the town's spokesman prove his worih.
Closest to the people, nearest to their
home life, its hopes end its aspiratious,
the country editor is at the foundation
of journalism. Here and there is a
weak and inefficient example, but in
the maiu he measures up to as high a
staudarc. as does auy class of business
men in the nation, and it is a busiuess
man that he prefers to be classed.
The cuuntry editor of today assumes j
no particular virtue because his capital
is invested iu printing presses, paper
and a few thousand pieces of metal
called type. He does realize that be
cause uf his vocation he is enabled to do
much tor good government, for progress
aud for the betterment of bis Commun- j
ity. Unselfishly aud freely be does 1
this. He starts movements that bring
scoundrels to terms, that place flowers
where weeds grew before, that banish
sorrow and add to the world's 6tore of
joy
Ttie country editor is doing verv well,
aud the trend of his business affairs is
in the direction of better financial re
turns aud wider influence.
fie is a
greater power now than ever before in
his history, aud he will become more
influential as the years go by. He will
not be controlled by a syndicate or mo
deled after a machine made pattern,
but will exert his individuality where
ever he may be.
It was Edmund Hammond Hargraves
who discovered gold in Australia in
1851—3 years after Maushall made 1,is
celebrated find in California.
Har
graves had tieeu inspired by the Cali
fornia discovery, and after studying tiie
go ! d deposits and their formation, the
soil and other conditions that might in
fluence their development, he returned
to New South Wales where he had
learned of a district that w as a counter
part to the regiou iu California. With
out hesitation, in 1851, he went to a
spot on the banks of a small stream
known as Lewes Pond creek, a tribu
tary of bummer Hill creek, itself a
tributary of the Macquarie river, aud
found auriferous dirt. Ou February
12, 1851, he reeoguized the colors in his
pan, and soou after determining the
value of the ground, lie proposed to sell
Lie secret to the government for £500
($2,500), but later concluded to trusr to
the liberality of the government officials
to whom he had made his find known.
Immediately emigration to the diggings
began, Hargraves doing no work ex
cepting to point out to others the best
spots of ground which iu Lis opinion
contained the most gold. He also in
structed the pioneers tu the process of
washing and cleaning gravel. Subse
queutly, Hargraves was made commis
sioner of crown lauds, aud received a
reward of £10,000 (850,000).—Mining
