PICNIC  ON  WALNUT  CREEK

A pleasant  picnic  party  enjoyed  themselves
last  Sunday  at  the  Peerless  mine,  on  Walnut
creek.  After  doing  justice  to  a sumptuous  lunch
in  which  “Ma’s”  pickles  were  not  forgotten,  the
party  were  amused  by  the  pleasant  prediction
of  a beautiful  veiled  prophetess,  who  appeared
upon  the  scene  and  told  the  good  fortune  await-
ing her  credulous  patrons,  who  were  only  too
glad  to  believe  the  priestess  of  fortune  infallible.
