T
Daniel W. Dougherty was the pro
prietor of a hardware store in a Middle
[ Western town, and had worked up a
good business in spite of the fact that
he wasn’t much of a band with a pen.
Whenever he signed a check he was
obliged to take off his coat so as to give
his arms scope for taokliog the three
flourishing capital D’s.
Nevertheless, although he bad the
utmost difficulty not only in writing
letters but in reading them himself
after he had written them, he was quite
sensitive about his lack of education.
He believed that people professed out
of sheer perversity not to be able to
make out his written orders, and hence
the following story about a salesman
for a wholesale hardware -house of
which Mr. Dougherty was an old and
valued customer.
The salesman had called around the
first of the month as usual, prepared to
book Mr. Dougherty’s order, but Mr.
Dougherty told him that because of a
luncheon engagement he bad written
down the items of his order to save his
own and the salesman’s time, and
handed the salesman a sheet of paper
which contained hieroglyphics as cryp
tic as any on the Egyptian obelisk in
Central Park.
The salesman thanked him profusely
and went immediately to the hotel,
w-here for the- rest of the forenoon he
tried in vain to decipher Mr, Dough
erty’s handwriting. At last he gave it
up and went downstairs to the clerk.
“You hotel clerks have to read all
kinds of writing.” he said. “Be a good
fellow and translate this for me ” He
banded the clerk the cryptic scrawl.
The clerk puzzled over it for more
than half an huur and at last gave
it up.
"You’ve got me,” he confeesed final
ly, "but there’s one man in this town

'I am the principal owner of a block of ‘ground

Pay ha# been located all aloof; for a dwtanee of

The average depth of the ground lis fromiseven
to twenty-feet. The top is ail black muck, that can
be moved freel v. No rock bigger than one’s fist.
The width of the pay. for a- distance of about
three miles, is from 160 to 200 feet.- Crosscuting
mark indicates that ebe ground will ;go from *15
cents‘tor-gl per square foot of bedrock. My belief
is-that the pay will average 50 centsiper foot.
Phave a ditch on tbe ground. three miles long,
together -with water rights. The ground Is prettv
well Cleared. There-is also a drain, three- miles
lsng, with the water right. I also have a water
right on Ready-Bullion -creek, -from - which water
can be brought to Yankee creek* with a ditch less
than a mile long (*900 feet), ■ which will give four
sluicebeads of water, I with-a pressure-or fall of ;12Q
feet, being 1600 feet to the work from the ditch.I""
After doing away with the muok, there will -be
