SEE YUP.
By BRET HARTE
cf ;
niinued
When 8% Yup was not persecutions of the more
subject to the
ignorant and
brutal, he was always a urce of amusement to all, and I cannot recall an instance when he was ever taken seriously. The miners found diversions
even in his alleged frauds and tri A whether innocent or retaliatory, and were fond of relating with great gusto his evasion of the miners’ tax.’ This was an oppressive measure aimed principally at the Chinese, who humbly worked the wornout ‘‘tailings’’ of their Christian fellow miners. It was stated that See Yup, knowing the diffi- culty—already alluded to—of identify- ing any particular Chinaman by name, conceived the additional idea of confus- ing recognition by intensifying their monotonous facial expression. Having paid his tax himself to the collector, he at once passed the receipt to his fellows, 80 that the collector found himself con- fronted in different parts of the setile- ment with the receipt and the aimless laugh of apparently See Yup himself. Although we all knew that there were a dozen Chinamen or more at work at the mines the collector never was able to collect the tax from more than two— See Yup and one See Yin—and so great was their facial resemblance that the unfortunate official fora long time hug- ged himself with the conviction that he had made See Yup pay twice and with- held the money from the government. It is very probable that the Californian’s recognition of the sanctity of a joke and his belief that ‘‘cheating the govern- ment was only cheating bimself’’ large- ly accounted for the sympathies of the rest of the miners.
But these sympathies were not always unanimous.
Ouse evening I strolled into the bar- roow of the principal saloon, which, as
sie ’ ioreign
far as mere upholstery and comfort went, was also the principal house in the settlement. The first rains had com- menced. The windows were open, for the influence of the southwest trades penetrated even this faroff mountain mining settlement, but oddly enough there was a fire in the large central stove, around which the miners had collected, with their steaming boots elevated on a projecting iron railing that encircled it. They were not at- tracted by the warmth, but the stove formed a social pivot for gossip and suggested that mystic circle dear to the gregarious instinct. Yet they were de- cidedly a despondent group. For some moments the silence was only brokea by a gasp, a sigh, a muttered oath or an impatient change of position. There was nothing in the fortunes of the set- tlement nor in their own individual affairs to suggest this gioom. The sin- gular truth was that they were one and all from the pangs of dys- pepsia.
Incongruous as such a complaint mizht seem to their healthy environ- ment—-their outdoor life, their daily exercise, the balsam of - the mountain air, theirenfcreed temperance in diet and the all enervat- ing pleasures—it was nevertheless tke

incontestible fact. Whether it w result ot the nervous, excitable ten ment which had brought them fous
in this feverish hunt for gold; whether it was the auality of the tinued meats
A man may stand 4 under the running slip- Saya noose of death and not ie Ep realize it. Diseases, fa- tal to both body and brain, like nervous pros- tration and exhaustion, creep upon a man slow- iy. A man overworks. Then he neglects his meals, and pays no attention to his di gestion. His liver gets sluggish. His ap petite falls off. The blood is improperly nourished and becomes impure. The brain and nerve tissues do not receive proper nu- triment and are befogged with the poisons in the blood. The man cannot sleep or eat.
Then comes nervous prostration, and ex haustion. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery makes the appetite hearty, the di- gestion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure, the brain clear and the nerves steady. It makes pure blood and healthy flesh, mus- cle. brain and nerve tissue. It cures nerv- ous diseases. No honest dealer will urge an inferior substitute for the little extra profit there is in it.
“ About fourteen years ago,” writes C. P. Wil liams, Esq., of Ferrows, Campbell Co., Va., ‘‘1 had a severe attack of sickness. I became very despondent about my situation. I thought I was going to starve todeath. I could not rest at might and could not describe my feelings. I epi played three or four doctors and they pronounced my disease to be Nervous Prostration. I was weak- ened down almost to a skeleton. and every body thought I was going to die. i two bot- tles of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery and they made a perfect cure of me. My System built up rapidly. From a living skeleton ; be- came robust and healthy. I am 67 years of age and am enjoying good health.”

actually suffered more from indigvstion than tke pampered dwellers of the cities. The quantity of ee j
patent medicines,’’ ‘‘bitters.’’ pills,’’ **panaceas’’ and ‘‘lozenges’’ cold in the settlement almost exceeded the amount of the regular provisions whose effects they were supposed to correct. The suf- ferers eagerly scanned advertisements aud placards. There were ‘occasional ‘‘runs’’ on new ‘‘specifics,’? and gen- eral conversation eventually turned in- to a discussion of their respective mer- its. <A certain childlike faith and trust in each new remedy was not the least distressing and pathetic of the symp- toms of these grown up bearded men.
**Well, gentlemen,’’ said Cyrus Par- ker, glancing around at his fellow suf- ferers, ‘‘you kin talk of your patent medicines, and I’ve tackled ’em all, but only the other day I struck suthin that I'm Min to hang on to, you bet!’’
Every eye was turned moodily to the speaker, but no one said anything.
‘‘And I didn’t get it outer advertise- ments, nor off of circulars! I got it outer my head, just by solid thinkin,”’’ continued Parker.
‘*What was it, Cy?’’ said one unso- phisticated and inexperienced sufferer.
Instead of replying, Parker, like a true artist, knowing he had the ear of his audience, dramatically flashed a question upon them:
**Did you ever hear of a Chinaman havin dyspepsy?’’
‘*Never heard he had sabe enough to hev anything,’’ said a scorner.
**No, but did you?’ insisted Parker.
‘*Well, no!’’ chorused the group. They were evidently struck with the fact.
‘*Of course you didn’t!’’ said Parker triumphantly. ‘‘Cos they ain’t. Well, gentlemen, it didn’t seem to me the square thing that a pesky lot of yellow skinuved beathens should be built differ-

Yet it gave me an idea!’’
‘“‘What was it?’ they asked eagerly.
*“‘f went down to his shop the next day, when he was alone, andI was feelin mighty bad, and I got hold of his pig- tail, and I allowed I’d stuff it down his throat if be didn’t tell me what he meant. Then he took a piece of punk and Jit it, and put it under my nose, an darn my skin, gentlemen, you migh’n’t believe me, butina minute I felt bet-
ter, and after a whiff or two I was all right.’’
‘‘Was it pow’ful strong, Cy?’ asked the inexnerienced one.
‘‘No,’’ said Parker, ‘‘and that’s just what’s got me. It was a sort of dreamy, spicy smell, like a hot night. But asI couldn’t go round ’mong you boys with a lighted piece of punk in my hand, as if I was settin off Fourth of July fire- crackers, I aeked him if he conldn’t fix me up somethin in another shape that would be handier to use when I was took bad, and I’d reckon to pay him for
it like as I’d pay for any other patent medicine. So he fixed me up this.”’ He put his hand in his pocket and drew out a small red paper, which when opened disclosed a pink powder. It was gravely passed around the group.
‘“Why, it smells and tastes like gin- |
ger,’’ said one.
“Tt is only ginger,’’ said another ecornfully.
‘*Mebbe it is and mebbe it isn’t,’’ re- turned Oy Parker stoutly. ‘‘Mebbe it’s only my fancy. Butif it’s the sort of stuff to bring on that fancy and that fancy cures me it’s all the same. I’ve got about $2 worth of that fancy, or that ginger, and I’m goin to stick to it. You hear me.’’ And he carefully put it back in his pocket.
At which criticisms and gibes broke forth. If he (Cy Parker), a white man, was going to ‘‘demean himself’’ by con- sulting a Chinese quack, he’d better buy up a lot of idols and stand them up around his cabin. If he had that sort of confidences with See Yup, he ought to go to work with him on his cheap tail- ings and be fumigated al] at the same time. If he’d been smoking an onium
| pipe instead of smelling punk, be ou:rkt | to be man enough to confess it. Yet it | W4S noticeable that they were all very | anxious to examine the packet again, | but Cy Parker was alike indifferent to demand or entreaty. A few days later I saw Abe Wyn- | ford, one of the party, coming out of See | Yup’s washhouse. He muttered some- thing in passing about the infamous delay in sending home his washing, but did not linger long in conversation. The next day I met another miner at the washhouse, but he lingered so long on come trifling details that I finally lefs him there alone with See Yup. When I called up Poker Jack of Shasta, there was a singular smel] of incensein his cabin, which he attributed to the very resinous quality of the fir logs he was burning. I did not attempt to probe these mysteries by any direct appeal to | See Yup himself. I respected hig reti- cence. Indeed if I had not I was quite ratisfied that he would have lied to me. Enough that bis washhouse was well patronized, and he was decidedly ‘‘get- Ng on,”’ (To be Continned.)
