Is it reasonable to expect this sort of thing to please the general public? We think not. Surely something should be done im- mediately to remedy this and instead of allowing telegraphic messages to remain in the OC, P. R. station during the day for six or eight hours or more before being delivered to parties living within two or three blocks of the station they should be delivered at least within one hour after they are received.

We hope that a long suffering public will soon be relieved of this inconvenience.

RED HEADED MEN,

Arizona’s Editor Wants to Know All About Them.

“SENDS OUT A_ CIRCULAR.

And Some Racy Replies to His Perti- ment Query Are Received in Return. The Opinion of the Hon. Quincy Davis, DD. L. b.

(Copyright, 1907.]

Three weeks ago we sent out a cir- cular from the Kicker office containing the following queries, and we hereby publish a number of the answers re- ceived:

Dear Sir—Do you think that red headed men have been Mstrumental in the up- building of Arizona?

Do you believe that more red headed men should be encouraged to settle in this territory?

Is there among your acquaintances a red headed man who has humped himself more vigorously than any other sort?

If you believe that with 1,000 more red

men added to her population Ari- Zona would soon take her place among

the sisterhood of states, how shal) we get them here? !

{ know three red headed men who have started three graveyards in this territory and are still on the bustle. It is the red heads who keep things moving. We can’t have too many of them.—Judge O. M: Clark.

,

Your queries at hand, and in an- swer I would ask what about red head- poh women? eS > believe we have

a score em in the territory. While a red headed man is shooting some poor cuss in the leg a red headed woman can raise a fuss extending over haif the territory. It has long been my opinion that we should bring on at least 500 from Connecticut, where they are thicker than grasshoppers. If they can’t boost old Arizona into line, we might as well quit trying.—Hon. Caleb Johnson.

Do If think red headed men haw. veen instrumental in the upbuilding of Ari- zona? You bet your bottom dollar! If it wasn’t for the red heads among us we'd sleep till noon and waste our Sup. days shooting at coyotes instead of playing poker. Get a thousand more of ‘em here as soon as possible, and let there be a law passed making it a pris- on offense for any one of them to use

hair dye after his arrival.—Hon. James Carson.

fast as they are brought in. There isn’t a town in the territory with three red headed men, in it but what’ has passed resolutions to the effect that

“r AM IN JAIL, CHARGED WITH HORSE STEALING.” the United States ought to annex Can- ada, Mexico or some other blamed old thing. They always want to be annex- ing something, and whenrthere is noth- ing to annex they find fault with a tenderfoot’s coattails as an excuse for shooting him. In fact, it was a red headed son of a gun that worked me in on this horse deal, and the red head- ed prosecuting attorney has just prom- ised that I shal! get at least ten years for it!-Hon. Quincy Davis, DD., L. D.

The Tribune has no use for red bead- ed men. We have had three on the staff, and al! have been failures. We believe that if this territory is to ever become a state it will be after we have encouraged four or five thousand bald-

of the telephone poles for a distance of thrée miles. The Recorder wouldn't have ten lines of local news per week if it wasn't for our red headed man. Yes, bring on more. There is said to be 250 of them in one wommunity in | Rhode Island, and all are named | Green. Arizona is the climate in which | they can ripen. She can promise them | mountain apiece. Lord, but what an opening there is for us!i—Lone Jack Recorder.

Although we had a narrow escape |} ourself from training with the red heads and therefore have a fellow feel- ing for them, it is not on that account that we would go in for bringing 5,000 | into the territory at once. A red head- ed man is on the hump and bustle. He is never quiet. He is always plan- ning. Something has got to happen every day in the week. If we had | 7,000 or 8,000 with us, Arizona would be one of the United States within a year or on her way to that country of flame and brimstone. Promise ‘em

then lasso ‘every man and tie him up to something that will hold him.—Blue | Hill Howler.

Arizona would have still been an In- dian hunting ground but for red head- ed men. What we want is 10,000 more of them. The editor of this pa- per is personally acquainted with no less than seven red headed men, and, while they haven’t made any of the rivers run upstream, they have kept the American eagle shrieking for twen- ty-four hours a day. What’s the mat- ter with promising every one who will settle here a bucking broncho?—Wolf Creek Gazette.

Great Men’s Opinion.

Jim Hellso wants to know what we think of red headed men. What did Caesar think of them? What did Alex- ander ‘the Great say of them? What did Napoleon do with an army of them? We have long known that the crying need of this territory was more red headed men, thousands more, but Wwe are a humble and modest weekly editor and have kept still about it. When we went back home to Indiana last summer, we saw hundreds of the right sort, and we believe they could be secured with very little trouble. In fact, every Indiana farmer with a red headed son or daughter feels aggrieved and wants to get them off his hands. Come on, ye red heads—come to the only country on earth where the color is appreciated.—Colone! John Sinclair.

Jim Hellso ought to be kicked for leaving the red headed women out of his circular. Catherine of Russia, Joan of Arc, Queen Elizabeth, the mother of Washington—why, we could tring ‘the list out a rod long. It was

e fired Fert Faba! red headed dame who fired the last shot at Bunker Hill. Who but a red headed woman rang the old bell for liberty? How many poets, statesmen and warriors owe their success to red headed wives? Get red headed men here—get them in droves—but don’t skip the red headed females. Talk to them softly and bring them along. If Arizona can be saved, they will do it. ~—Big Cave Reporter.

As to that circular, Mr. Hellso, we want to say: Hurrah for the red heads! Get ’em here by the million. Get the long haired ones in particular. Get two red headed women for every one red headed man. Get droves of red headed young uns and let them grow up among us. Let every official of the present government who is not a red headed man resign and give place to a hustler. Put them in official posi- tions in every town in the territory and give 'em room to get hold with | both feet. Arizona is on the wabble. We have tried all else, and now let us turn to the red heads, Let the rich

| brick red color flaunt itself from every | hilltop and be found in every valley

and let it be a crime equal to that of murder for a barber to clip off any of the capillary substance or for a drug- gist to be found with a bottle of hair dye on his shelves.—Red Rock Sun.

The editor of the Kicker thanks the above persons and papers for their ex- pressions and stands ready to work with any commission appointed to bring about the red headed influx. He also returns thanks that none of them have mentioned the fact that his own

TEE MINER,

WHERE BURGLARS GET TOOLS.

COLEMAN,

ALBERTA. BASUTOS IN LONDON.

London Housebreakers Use Devious | Deputation to King See the Sights of

Mearis to Get Instruments.

Every lithe while, said a London detective recently, the police arrest a man with a set of burglars’ tools in his possession, and one naturally wonders where they all come from.

It is easy to buy a gun of any de- seription, and the most reputable person would not be ashamed to be seen purchasing the most wicked. looking knife ever made; but who would know where to get a “jimmy,” or a device for drilling into a safe, or any of the many tools used by the professional burglar in thé pursuit of his calling?

large cities wheré these things are made and sold to the users, but such places are exceedingly scarce. It may seem a littie strange to learn that most of the tools used jn bvr- glaries are made by mechanics who are looked upon as respectable men in the community.

When‘a burglar wants any particn- lar tool made he goes to a mechanic who ean do the job and pays him perhaps five times what it is eetually worth for making the tool and keep- ing aviet about it. can reeall enses of this kind that have come to light in London.

One in particular occurred some years ago, when an escaped convict named Williams went to a blacksmith in the Fast end and got him to make a lot of drills to be used in safe- cracking. He personally superintend- ed the temnering of the steel, but when the job was nearly completed it lesked out and Williams was ar- rested. In this instance the black- smith knew nothing of the use to which the tools were to be put. Most of the tools used bv burglars are se- cured in the same way.

The onlv reeular establishment ever discovered where thev were made was in the East end. This was years ago, and the place was soon pounced down upon.

Four Basuto chiefs reached Lon- don recently as a deputation from the Basuto tribes to pay their respects to the King, and to disouss their position under the new regime in the event of the unification of South Africa.

The dusky warriors were accom- panied by the Hon. T. Murray, of the Colonial .Officé, who met them at

SIR ROBERT HART. to take charge of the administration

of the customs. Before this appoint- ment he had been in the British con- sular service in China. He remained inspector-general of customs from 1863 to 1907. and was also inspector- general of posts from 1896,

Meany honors were conferred. on him by the Chinese as well as by Great Britain, Norway, Italy and other countries.

It is difficult, nay impossible, for anyone in this country adequately w realize how great a personage Sir Robert, Hart is in China, how greatly he is revered by all classes, and how vast an influence he has exercised. Practically he has governed China, and this must be said, that, despite all the conflict of international in- terests at Pekin during a period when the Great Powers were ceaselessly in- triguing for supremacy, he: has made the well-being and advantage of the Chinese Government and people, whose servant he was, the supreme consideration in his policy.

“Out of One Hole Into Another.” A good story is just now going the

rounds concerning Mr. Augustine Birrell, M.P., who, simultaneously with his fifty-ninth birthday, has

been lecturing on journalism, The Chief Secretary is by way of being a golfer, but as regards his play. if his intention is good, his execution is often faulty. Concerning a point in his department Dr. Macnamara once made a suggestion to which Mr. Birrell agreed and did not act upon. Thereupon Dr. Macnamara sent him a spirited reminder. To this Mr. Bir- rell replied: ‘‘Dear Macnaniara, per- haps you are right, Out of one hole into another. If my department were only a golf course, I should be a scratch player in no time.” As Dr Macnamara tells the story himseli. its veracity cannot be doubted. An- ether story which iUlustrates Mr. Birrell’s kindliness of heart refers to the day when he practiced at the Bar, and took up the case of a poor client for nothing. When the case had been won, the client gratefully sent Mr. Birrell the sum of 1l5s., which he accepted in order not ‘to give of- fence. And when a colleague re- proached the future Chief Secretary for “‘unprofessional conduct” in tak- ing less than gold, Mr. Birrell prompt ly replied, “But I teok all the poor beggar

had, and I consider that is not ional.”

At their own special reanest. the Basuto chiefs were taken to the Tower of London. Thev exnlained that they were much interested in English his- tory. having heard a good deal abont it from English commissioners in their. own country. and thev reeard the Tower as the home of the Fne- lish kings. They were much struck by the armor, which they thoueht would be very hot to wear in warm weather. and. their eyes rolled at the sight of the Crown jewels.—Lloyd’s Weekly.

And speaking of teeth reminds me

that the country doctor had to draw

them when they ached. The dentist's

plane it occupies today, when every- body’s mouth shines like the inside of a communion cup. I honestly believe the modern dentist has more different kinds of tools than even a sanitary

plumber, and that’s a whole lot when | you come to count them up. The mod- |

ern dentist hates the worst way to draw a tooth. Nevertheless if the modern dentist must draw the tooth

| he has a particular forceps for a par-

Uncle Doc had one implement that did for every tooth, big and little. front and back. It wasn't a forceps; it was a turnkey. The real old folks know what that is and will say so with the cold chills running over them. But you've neyer seen one, and many a man that you would call old bas never seen one. It's something like a canthook. The loosely riveted piece that curves slips over the tooth and catches on the inside; the solid cam bears on the outside gum; the operator turns the handle. Let’s not talk about it. Sométhing has got to give. Maybe the tooth will come out; maybe it will break off; maybe the jaw will frac- ture. All those are details. The main point is that if the operator twists the handle something has got to give, and that’s all there is about it.—Kugene Wood in Success Magazine.

‘’here is a certain young woman whv is beautiful, with that childish, wistful, innocent looking, violet eyed beauty which reduces one-half the feminine world to tears, the other half to utter- ly helpless rage.

She arrived look- ing so lovely that there was little said among the guests for a few moments after her entry into the room, Perhaps she felt the silence. At all events, she turned to the woman standing nearest her and said in a childish voice, with ever such a little lisp and pretty south- ern accent: .

“How well yo’ are lookin’ today!”

It was a well meant civility from a young woman to an older one, who seemingly was unable to accept it as such and put up her lorgnette, sweep- ing the speaker from top to toe. What she saw was enough to disconcert a younger and prettier woman than her- self, but even so one finds it difficult to justify her next move.

“Wish I could say the same for you,” she returned, closing her lorguette with a snap.

One or two of the guests were friends of the pretty woman and al- most stopped breathing in order not to miss what they felt sure would come—and it came,.. "The pretty one raised her eyebrows slightly, then said, with an air of gentle reproach:

TRAGIC LEGEND OF VENICE.

Unique Weapon With Which the Man of Mystery and Murder Sought to Slay His Way to the Hand of the Woman He Loved,

The chronicles of Venice tell that In the earlier part of the seventeenth cen- tury a certain stranger, a man of dark and sinister aspect, arrived in the city. His nathe was Tebaldo. He appears to have been a man of unruly passions, of -great intellectual power, but one whose talents found their chief outlet in crime.

One day he observed a beautiful girt leaving church, attended in a manner which showed she belonged to a family of high degree. She was, in fact, the

| daughter of an ancient and noble

| house.

He fell violently in love witb her. Though far removed from him in station, his blind passion took no count of this fact, and he determined to sue for her hand.

There proved to be, however, a more insuperable obstacle to his suit. The girl was already betrothed to another, a young nobleman of almost equal rank and fortune, The knowledge did not deter Tebaldo, who boldly present- ed himself before the girl’s parents in the capacity of a suitor for her hand. As might have been expected, he met with a curt and unceremonious rebuff.

The repulse rankled in his mind. En- raged beyond measure, he shut himself up in his own house and there secretly studied a means of revenge. Pro- foundly skilled in the mechanical arts, he allowed himself no rest until he had invented a most formidable and death dealing weapon. This was a large key, the handle of which was so construct- ed that it could be turned. at will. When it was thus turned a secret spring was disclosed, which, on being pressed, launched from the key head a

fine needle or lancet. The latter was.

of such delicate construction that it penetrated the body of the victim and buried itself deep in the’ flesh without leaving any external trace.

The marriage of the betrothed cou- ple was fixed to take place in the prin- cipal church in Venice on a certain day.- Before the ceremony Tebaldo. cunningly disguised, stationed himself at the church door armed with his dia- bolical weapon. As the bridegroom was about to enter the building the concealed watcher pressed the spring and sent the deadly steel lancet into of.his victim. The younc da no suspicion of injury at the moment. In- the midst of the ceremony, however, he was seized

with a sharp spasm of pain and sank-

fainting on the steps of the altar. He was hurriedly conveyed to his home, where the leading Venice physicians were summoned to attend him. In spite of their unremitting efforts he sank and died, nor were they able to discover the nature of the mysterious and fatal seizure. .

With the removal of his rival, Te- baldo once more presented himself be- fore the girl’s parents and renewed his request for her hand. Their refusal to listen to him sealed their doom. In what manner be accomplished it is not known, but within a few days both had been done to death in the same sudden and mysterious fashion.

The exalted rank of the victims cre- ate@ . profound sensation, and when, us xamination of the bodies, a fine steel instrument was found in the flesh terror became universal. The cit- izens feared for their lives. The ut- most vigilance was exercised on the part of the authorities, but as yet no suspicion fell upon Tebaldo.

The bereaved girl retired to a con- vent, where she passed the first months of mourning in sorrowful seclusion. Tebaldo, however, sought her out in her retreat and begged to speak to her through the grating,

His dark, evil face had always been displeasing to her, but since the death of her betrothed and parents it had be- come repulsive. When, therefore, lw the course of the interview he pressed her to fly with him he met with an in- stant and indignant refusal. Her scoru stung him to the quick. Beside him- self with rage, he brought his deadly weapon once more into play and suc- ceeded in wounding the girl through the grating, the obscurity of the place preventing bis action from being ob- served.

On her return to ber room the girt felt a sharp pain in her breast, Exami- nation of the spot showed that it was dotted ‘with a single drop of blood. Physicians were hastily summoned. Taught by past experience, they wast- ed no time in vain conjecture, but cut into the desh and extracted the slen- der Steel, thus saving the girl's life.

The dastardly attempt occasioned a public outery, The visit of Tebaido to the convent beeame known and caused suspicion to turn upon him. The em- issaries of the law descended suddenly upon him, bis house was searched, and there the abominable invention was discovered. Swift justice followed, and he ended his days upon the scaf-

In addition to their contracts for the mercantile marine in all parts of the world, Lord Pirrie’s firm have done extensive engineering work for the navy.

Of late years Lord Pirrie has differ- ed in politics from the m@fority. of his fellow-citizens, but this circum- stance has not altered their apprecia- tion of his services. He owes not a little of his social success to Lady Pirrie, whom he married in 1879.

EASTER

We are now on the eve of the an- niversary of the greatest tragedy in the world’s history. Many heads are bowed in sorrow as they think of the cruel death of the greatest Benefactor That the world has ever seen.

The time of the year has come when

we see in our. imagination | the agonizing Christ in the garden of Gethsemane, the betrayal by Judas, || Christ in the house of Annas, who had Him bound and sent to his son-in-law

Caiaphas, the high priest, Peter's de-

nial, the mocked trial, repentant Judas, Jesus accused before Pilate and sent to Herod who mocked Him, He is sent back to Pilate again who is wil- ling to scourge Him and let him go. Pilate exclaims ‘‘ Behold the man!” The veople demand His life and Pilate delivers Him to be crucified. He dies & shameful death. And the Christian world is bowed in sorrow as we ap- proach Good Friday.

While Good Friday is a day of

mourning a day of lamentation and

sorrow Easter (Sunday) follows it asa day of rejoicing and jollity, a day when all hearts are glad of Christ’s great victory over sin and death.

The date of Easter was fixed at the council held at Nice (not by the way at Nice in Italy, but at Nice, in Asia Minor, now called Isnik), in the suim- mer of 325, by summons. of the Emperor Constantine, it was decreed that Easter should be celebrated on **the first Sunday after the full moon, which happens Gpde or next after the 2lst of March;” and that when the full moon happens upon a Sunday, Easter Sunday shall be the Sunday after. . In other words, as ‘* Chistian

Work” once versed it :

**When March the. twenty-first is past, Just watch the ative moon, And whén you see it full and round, Know Easter’ll be here soon,”

After the moon has réathed its full,

And this decree was promulgated for the purpose of putting an end to the dissension that had existed ever since the festival of Easter had been instituted (ubout A. D, 68), the Chris- tians in Jerusalem and the east generally holding it at the same time as the Jewish Passover, while the remainder of Christendom had & par- ticular objection to that date, due to its very association with that festival.

The only difference between this new regulation and the old one is that the applicant instead of being obliged to pay to Ottawa one dollar per acre, he expends that one dollar in pros- pecting for coal,

DR. BECHTEL RESTORED BY ORDER OF CHIEF JUSTICE

In the matter of the proceedings against Dy. Bechtel, by Medical Council at Blairmore, in July last and was followed by an appeal, We here give an extract of the decision of the Ohief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alberta as follows: “If the offence charged had been absolutely proved and the statute sufficiently wide to cover it the punishment would have been an outrage.” Again, “1 am of the opinion that the Judgment was not warranted either by the evidence or the law and therefore order the name of D.

THE MINER,

BLATRWORE T0. HAVE WATER WORKS |. Councitlors Failed. to Put in an

Appearance

The Blairmore Gounctl dalled a

‘| meeting of the ratepayers on Tuesday

evening, at which a discussion was to have taken place as to whether the town would put ina water system of its own or grant the privilege to a pri- vate company.

The secretary of the village, Capt. Beebe read a few estimates which the council obtained last year and these showed that a system could’ not be put in for less than $20,000, A: pri-

vate company, represented by Robert

Lake, of Calgary, laid a proposition before the meeting, setting forth the rates and agreeing to allow the village to purchase the system at the end of ten vears at its actual value,

. The rates and conditions offered by, Mr. Lake’s company are better aud lower than the village could. expect to get. even it, did own and operate the system as its own. In fact, it ishard to figure out just where the company is going to get off at and for this reason too much care cannot be ex- ercised in the drawing up of the agree- ments which the majority of the rate- payers present authorized the Council to enter into with Mr. Lake’s com- pany.

The strange part of the whole pro- ceedings was the fact that only one councillor, J, Moreno, was present and he came in late and was not prepared to express his views on the question. Some of the ratepayers, although seemingly in -accord with Mr, Lake's proposition, refused to be ‘ voted” owing to the fact that no time was given for discussion, and, worse still, the total lack of interest displayed by the village fathers who, aboye all others, should have attended . the meetings and expressed their views as well as hear those of the people they rrepresented. Thé question arises whether the village is safe in entrust- ing the making of a contract. of such vital importance to a set of men who are so utterly disinterested in the affairs of the village that a good cigar and an arm chair at one of the hotels have a greater charm for them that the question of waterworks and who should build them,

However, your correspondent hopes that he under estimates the ability of

| the council to care for the. interests | they represent, and that the men who

hold the fate of Blairmore in their hands at this particular time will be equal to the occasion, leaving no stone unturned to see that, the peoples’ in; terests are protected and safeguarded in every possible way. ' ' ‘CHRISTIAN. WORKERS:

The evangelistic campaign began on’ Sunday last. There were good con- gregations in the Institutional church morning and evening. Rev. A. E, Mitchell is the preacher. His ad- dresses are strong and rousing. W. McBretney, tenor svloist, sings with wonderful sweetness,

The- meetings go on every night at 8 o’clock in the Institutional church.

Lille will be visited on Saturday. A service will be held in the Mission hall, Blairmore, on Sunday next at 11 a. m. There will be a meeting-for men in the Institutional church on Sunday after- noon next when Mr. Mitchell will speak on ‘*Canada’s Chief Asset.” The meetings go on every evening next week. No one should miss hear- ing the messages in word and song.

Correspondence

(The editor of this paper does not hold him- self responsible for the opinions expressed by his correspondents,)

(To the editor of Coleman Miner) Dear Mr, Editor, —

I read, with great interest, the letter written by A. Cameron in your pre- ceeding number and I want him to understand thet I in no way wish to east any reflection on the village council but I do think it is their duty, if not under their jurisdiction, to notify the OC, P. R. officials whenever there is an existing puisance on their private property, and I expect that they would at once see to its remoyal for their own honor and welfare,

In regard to the suggestion as to the incorporation of Slav Town, I, for one, think it is quite high time that some- thing was doné to remedy a few things which at present exist here and concerning the road which is to con- pect Slav Town with Uoleman. In my opinion the road would not cost a vast amount of money and it would be a great benefit for both places, es- pecially for the business people of Coleman.

Again, I don’t see where it would cost very much to make a proper street—I mean one that would be safe

to drive a horse and waggon on with-

out fear of breaking our necks or the horses legs. Therefore, I think it is up to the people of Coleman to meet us in the matter of tion, when knowing full well the amount of taxes that are paid and the money = put into pen avery yearly in

man by the people of Male ape |)

x A spring medicine is an cessity to most people. Nature de- mands it as an aid in carrying off the impurities that» have eccumulated in the blood during the indoor life cf winter months. But unfortunately thousands of people who recognize the necessity of a spring medicine do not know.what is best to take and dose themselves with harsh, griping purgatives, This is a serious mistake Ask any doctor and he will tell you that the use of purgative mediciae weakens the system but does not car disease. In the spring the syste needs building up—-purgatives can not do this; they weaken you «tl more. The blood should be made

A certain minister was deeply im- pressed by an address on the evils cf smoking given at a recent synod. He rose from his seat, went over to a tel- low minister, and said: .

“Brother, this morning I received a present of 100 good cigars. I have smoked one of them, but now I’m go- ing home and burn the the fire.” _ The other minister arese and said) it was his intention to accompany his reverend brother.

“I mean to rescue the 90 and 9,’’. he added.—Philadelphia Ledger,

Man still carries the original num ber of ribs, but he is short of a | lobe. Where did he lose ad blo it. Man’s right lung to-day consists of two lobes. -Let us consider the missing lobe on the left. The lungs, mind you, are the life. Eve was mad out of Adam’s third lung lobe on the left, the lobe nearest the heart. She was constructed out of wind, mostly. That is—she took part of Adam's breath away. Adam’s posterity of the male persuasion in these latter days can count on only five lobes to bota lungs; while Eve’s daughters can count on seven; which accounts for woman having the last word in a cun- troversy.

But in Ceylon there is a shell-fish —t kind of mvussel—which positively sings. In still weather. when the water has ebbed away from the 3 -beds for a few hours, these muse can be heard producing a long, low fluting sound. How they do it no one' knows, but they certain- ly make a quite distinct attempts at singing, and as thev have no throats they mvst- produce the sound by some manipulation of their double shells. The sound is. low and not. at all un- pleasant. but rather sweet to the car on a still summer’s night.

Entombed Eight Days.

Twenty-four natives have been res- cued alive’and well ,from:the Wit- watersrand gold mine, which was flooded by the outbursting of dams a few days avo.

The condition of the natives who have been rescued is wonderful, con- sidering their eight days’ entombing without food.

The wives of Mr. Prout, the mana-

ger, Dr. Perkins, the mine doctor, and Mr. Matthews, the mine cap- tain, accompanied their husbands

with the rescne party below.

It is believed thatsthe constant sup- ply of compressed air saved the lives of those: rescued.

The greatest efforts are still being made to effect the rescue of any men who may still be live in the mine.

Explained to the Wrong Duchess.

That distinguished stateman Lord John Bussell once took the then Duchess of Inverness into dinner. When Lord John got to his place, he suddenly left his ducal partner, and walked round to the other side of the table and sat down beside the Duchess of St. Albans. Lady. Russell asked hér husband afterwards: ‘‘What on earth made you leave the Duchess of Inverness and go across to; the Duchess of St. Albams?’ “Well,” re- plied Lord John Russell, “I should have been sick if I had sat where they had placed me, for the fire was at my back.” ‘But I hope,” said Lady Russell, ‘“‘that you explained this to the Duchess of Inverness?” “Oh, no, I didn’t,” replied her hus- band, “but I did to the Duchess of St. Albans !”’

tonian who some ten years ago took up his residence in the United States, has won some attention through a new scheme of his own devising-— that of teaching people to tell funny stories. Mr,..Kleiser commenced ‘is career, in- Toronto in the early nine- ties as a concert elocutionist, and later became for a season private secretary to the late Richard Mans- field. Then he returned to Toronto and commenced the teaching of ex- pression and conducted an entertain- ment bureau. He is now established in New York, and among his activi- ties is that of “conductor” of the Public Speakers’ Club. ; |

The scheme which he put forward | a week or so ago is so whique that it has. engaged the attention of the press, whose humorists seems to be, sceptical as to the outcome, A report- | er went to hear Mr. Kleiser lecture | to his class in extempore humor, and says that ijt numbered at least eighty ' persons. It more than intimates that | if Mr. Kleiser succeeds in turning | them into humorous individuals he | will have performed a task greater | than the labors of Hercules. It is|

stated that they were of all ages,| s

nationalities, and previous occupd- | tions. After Mr. Kleiser ‘had told | sixty funny stories in the space of | an hour—charting them on a black- board as he did so to show that there were only twenty-three original stones in the world, the balance being varia- | tions therefrom—he invited his pupils to the platform one by one, each to tell a funny story of his own, and pencied. his method when it was ad.

The. pupil. exhibition | seems. to have been rather a painful | episode, and Mr. Kleiser showed that he is not devoid of humor himoelf by closing the proceedings with the remark :

“Now, I think that you will’ be- |‘ lieve me when I maintain the anti-| ‘

SEESEEESEEEITI THEE

Alphonse set the coffeepot close to Sheldon’s hand and retired to the bar, there to indulge in a giass of beer. The dinner rush was over, and he was certain that no one would come now until after the theaters let out.

Meanwhile the two young people at the table would surely chat for half an hour or so, which time Alphonsé might spend with profit fn discussing with the fat bartender certain nice points in the mixing of cocktails.

Meanwhile. his two patrons sipped their coffee, and Sheldon lit the cigar that Alphonse had brought. When he dined alone the cigar came from the corner box on the five tent end, but when the young lady came Alphonse always brought a perfecto from the box in the ice chest with an elaborate- ly casual “The usual, monsieur.”

This was intended to impress the guest with the belief that Sheldon ha-

“Isn’t it funny that we always fall

back on Saturday night?’ commented Bess. “I don’t know when we have been out to dinher in the middle of the week.” . »-“Never,- 3 - guess,” agreed - Sheldon. “You see, Saturday is a sort of holi- day. 1 get my salary, and you get your check from the publishers, and we’re both happy and content, even if not in agreement.”

“We would be in agreement if’ you would only stop considering a proposal as an essential feature of the Satur- day celebration,” reminded Bess, with a show of severity. “You must go and spoil it all by proposing, Fred, when I’ve told you long ago that to marry would spoil my career. 1 am making a little name for myself in the art world, and I can’t keep house and paint too.”

“And I’ve told you,” retorted Fred, “that I would not stop asking you to marry me until you said ‘Yes.’ I guess I've proposed to you sixty times in

the last sixty weeks, Bess, and I’m |

good for sixty times sixty if I have to hold out that long.”

“Did you ask me out to dinner to propose to me?” demanded Bess,

“Not primarily,” he admitted, “What I wanted to tell you was that my big chance has come at last.

A slender hand was stretched across the table and grasped his own,

“Dear boy, I am so glad,” she said sincerely. “You have worked hard, and you are entitled to your reward.”

“Which is why 1 am going to ask for it,” retorted Sheldon, “l am go- ing to break my usual custom and propose on Thursday instead of Satur- day, Bess. I want you to work for, dear. It will be pretty hard camping out with the construction gang and working on the job with the field corps, I want to come back to camp every night and feel that | have done good day's work for you.”

Aren't there times when you want to give it all up and just stop worrying about checks that the publishers do not send and canvases that don’t sell, though you know that they are as good as some that bring big money? Don’t+you tire of your career some times, and don’t you feel as though it would be nice to let some one else do the worrying?”

“And if I do?” she asked, with an odd little note in her voice.

“Then let me carry the burden,” he pleaded. “Let me do the planning for you. In six months from now I shall be at the top of the heap and niaking money, but you can make those six months of tofl very. pleasant, dear, if you will only listen to your heart—and me.”

“I have listened to you,” she remind- ed, with a light langh. “Why, Freddy, there has not been a Saturday night in more than a year that you have not urged me .to marry you. I'd like to, dear, but there is my career.”

“Does it all pay?” he demanded. “Is it worth all the worry and the con- triving?’”’

“Perhaps,” she said uncertainly, and Sheldon pressed the advantage.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t.

It would be our own table, too,” he reminded, “and not a table d’hote.”

“Perhaps.”

It was spoken so low that Sheldon had to’ lean across the table to catch the whispered word. But he did catch it, and his face beamed satisfaction.

“And you will marry me?” he cried delightedly.

This time he did not hear, but he knew that the coveted answer had been spoken, and he caught the hand that toyed nervously with the cup.

He spoke no word, for none was needed. Their eyes told each other messages that never have been put into words, spoke a language that only lovers know—and Sheldon was con- tent.

It was Alphonse whose discreet but. suggestive cough from the doorway leading to the main room recalled them to more earthly matters and an unpaid check. Sheldon drew a bill from his pocket and laid it upon the tray. ni .

Alphonse’s thanks followed them even out upon the street; where Sheldon tucked Bess’ arm into his own with a new air of proprietorship that the girl found very comforting.

“Fred,” she whispered, “did you know that I was tired and depressed today?”

“I was only taking chances,” he ex- plained, with a happy laugh. “I thought it out last night when I was almost certain that Benny would put the deal through. I figured that you always felt as I did when you had money in your pocketbook on Satur- days—and that you'd ‘feel as I do two days before pay day. It was worth taking a chance by changing the day.” \

Bess patted his arm affectionately. “I wish you had found that out be- fore,” she whispered, “It ts only from Saturday to Tuesday that I cared about a career.”

| Cards and Their History.

Cards are square shaped pieces of pasteboard printed with various de- vices and employed as a business me- dium by money changers. They are usually made up in packs of fifty-two, one for each week of the year. A good many. people play cards for pleasure, in which case their opponents are said to be buying experience. In most card games the rule is that the cards may be cut, but not otherwise marked. This rule is not strictly observed in games in which only three cards are used. Indeed, the marking of cards has attained a high degree of perfection since the introduction of numerous card index systems. Fashions change in card games as in everything else, Old maid, for instance, is nowadays seldom played in the best clubs. Play- ing cards should not be confused with those sold on cricket grounds, which are rather larger, or with visiting ecards, which are smaller.—Fry’s Maga- zine. » .

What the Sailor Will Do to Obtain Shore Leave.

As illustrating bow men respond and adjust themselves to reward, or, what comes to the same thing, the maximum satisfaction for a given amount of ef- fort, two instances that came under my observation while in the navy are very interesting. One cruise was made oh a vessel whose executive officer was in most respects a very able man. Discipline in general was admirable.

acombination of two separate systems. The reason was that naval regulations compelled the giving of at least a cer- tain amount of shore leate to men in

the second grade, while the system he | was using actually allowed less to a |

Banks.

It was in the City of Brotherly Love that the first bank was established in 1781. It was incorporated by congress under the name of “The President, Di- rectors and Gompany of the Bank of North America.” Three years later the second bank in the country was opened in Boston and called the Massachu- setts bank,

In the same year the Bank of New York was founded.

MEN’S CLOTHES.

WONDERS OF VELOCITY.

A Piece of Thin Cardboard Will Cut Through Wood.

Velocity has a great deal to do with one substance’s ability to break through another, and it is remarkable what can be accomplished by a com- paratively soft substance against a much harder one when the former is given enough velocity. A bullet made of a tallow candle would smash flat if fired against a board from a toy gun,

The speaker, a physician, put his finger in his ear.

“I bear a muscle roaring now,” said he. “Try it, and you, too, will hear the sound. And to prove that it is the sound of a muscle, put a plug of wood in your ear instead, and you will hear nothing.

“Contracted muscles give out a roar- ing sound. Relaxed muscles are si- lent. This fact is of use in diagnos- ‘ing certain diseases. The stethoscope makes the mescular roars audible, and those strange voices proclaim the pres- ence of such diseases as tetanus, men-

It is Well.

It is well to carefully cultivate tastes. Ruskin says, “Tell me what you like and I will tell you what you are.”

It is well to study buman character. Bodenstedt says: “In the face of ev- ery human being his history stands plainly written; his innermost nature steps forth to the light. Yet they are the fewest who can read and under- stand.”

It is well to “brush up against the world.” Goethe says: “Talent forms itself in secret. Caaracter is the great current of the world.”

It is well to be never cast down. Elizabeth Barrett Browning says:

THE HONEYMOON PARADE. Wedding Custom In One Town When f the Train le Late.

A small city, which need not be lo cated more particularly than that it is somewhere east of Boston, has its own peculiar way of speeding the newly married on their honeymoon,

For one thing, every one goes to the station to see ‘the couple depart. This is done in many small places, The showering of rice or confetti and the throwing of the old shoe take place, not at the home of the bride, but at the station. To that extent the city re ferred to is not unusual.

But in this city train schedules fre- quently go awry, and when they do the unusual happens. The wedding, of course, has been celebrated on time, and the reception has taken as much time as such things usually take. The | departure from the bride’s home is made in due season to catch the train | if it is on time,

The wedding guests rush to the sta- | tion, where all other inhabitants hav-

ing nothing better to do have assem- | bled already. It is a free show which | no one would miss,

The crowd remains patiently at the station. Other curious persons station themselves at points along the route just to see the wedding coach pass,

Sometimes two or three carriages, drawn by white horses and decorated in white, swing steadily around this hymeneal circuit. It seems like an | endless procession. It is not. unsual | for a wedding pair to spend the first five hours of their honeymoon just rid- ing round and round waiting for the train.
