One of the old residents of California Is Jeremiah Van Horn, who 19 now a retired merchant and spends his tlmp !n traveling. He la full of tales of the state tad but night told one of an old mining camp near Marysville, "hear the town of Marysville," said he. "there is an old mining camp, now deserted. On a hillside lie the bodies of 50 miners. Their resting places are fenced In and a few hardy flowers bloom in the spring, cnly to dry' and wither In the summer. No name is to Rut be seen on the rudo headboards. one man himself as unknown to the people of the region as the dead men below knowa the secret of the graves. About Eastertide of each year this BU now aged and somewhat bent, but with vigor still in his walk appears from out of the mysterious east. He arrives at Marysville, hires a conveyance, and visits the gravel of three of the There is nothing of the miner about him. He Is prosperous and perhaps wealthy. His clothing is of the city cut. His gray beard Is well trimmed and his gold rimmed glasses hide a pair of shrewd blue eyes. His business is to look after the graves. He straightens up the fence, waters the thirsty plants and when everything is shipshape spends a half hour in looking over the valley and the hills. Then, Jumping into his carriage, he returns to Marysville. takes the train to San Francisco, and is lost for another year In the solitude of civilization. "Who Is he? What tie binds him to the three men whose bodies long ago crumbled Into dust? Was he himself one of the Argonauts, bound by ties closer than tbose of blood to the trio upon whom the winter rains have fallen for half a century? Great is the curiosity of the people of Marysville. They watch him narrowly on his annual pilgrimages, and some of the forward ones have been made bold to ouestion him. He has always turned them away with courtesy and strict reserve. They do not even know his name or station, but they marvel much over what they believe to be an example of brotherly love and affection that stretches over many decades and never forgets the past." TOOK COLD PLUNGE Cote Banking Company, Tremonton, Utah. PRESIDENT ADAMS WAS FOND OF WINTER BATHING. That He Would Break the Ice in the Potomac to Get His Uusal Swim Is a Fact. Well-Atteste- Before the cheerful glow of a latrobe stove one evening last winter in a Washington residence several gentlemen were having a symposium. They were talking over all sous of matters, including, of course, the topic of the weather. "1 expeci." remarked one of the party, a man from Bottom, "If that rugged old gentleman from my state, John Quiucy Adams, was with us now he would have a chance to indulge in w'hat we have often been told was one of his favorite habits that Is, going down to the river on cold winter mornings and breaking the ice preparatory to a plunge In the Potomac. I have never believed that yarn, however," continued the New England man, "but have always looked upon it as one of the usual fables that crop out in this city every now and then." "Weil, you might as well believe It," said a Washington man, who Is pretty well advanced la years, "for It is a fact. knew in my younger days a gentleman of this city, one of the most prominent physicians of days, and later on a distinguished officer in the confederate army, who has assured me and others as well that when he was a mere lad he has seen President John Quincy Adams break the thin Ice in the Potomac on a winter morning and take a plunge into the water. "In my younger days," further remarked the Washington man, "1 have seen a number of people baptized la the Potomac when the mercury in the thermometer was below the freezing point. But don't you make any mistake," he said to the gentleman from Boston, "about John Quincy Adams swimming in the icy Potomac. There are men living in Washington whose fathers and grandfathers have seen him in the act. Maybe that accounted for his long life, for he was 80 years of age when he had his fatal stroke of apoplexy in the house of representatives, of whioh he was a member at the time of his death." well-fille- well-atteste- derby hat to his patent leather shoes he was dressed in the tiptop of fashion.

There were a number of promotions there last week. I heard a newspaper man ask for the changes for publication. He was told they would not be given out. Knowing that such was contrary to the practice of other executive departments, I asked one of the officials the reason fur secrecy, and what do you think was the Why, simply that some explanation? of the clerks were In debt to local merchants and did not want them to know that their salaries had beeu increased for fear that they would be called upon to settle. Some people may think that a good reason for secrecy, but to my mind it was a good reason for publicity. The heads of the departments have been frequently urged to compel delinquent clerks to settle their just debts, and while, as a rule, they have declined to interfere. I never before heard of an Instance where the department thought It necessary to assist the employee in the evasion of their financial obligations." " No Occasion for Display. congressman was addressing a large audience a few days ago and told the following story on Representative Longworth: "One day this winter Representative Longworth, of the president, met Speaker Cannon and Invited him to dinner a couple of nights from that time. Speaker Cannon had heard from another source that President and Mrs. Roosevelt were to be at the dinner, and he heal tated for a minute. "As the house is meeting late these days, I am afraid I will not have time to get home after adjournment and get my clothes changed In time for your dinner," he tald. "Oh, well, that's all right." replied Representative Long worth. "You need not worry about your clothes. There's just going to be some of my wife's folks around lo dinner."
