SiEllan Bolivar.

One hundred years ago away down
 in South America WAS born a man
 destined to free the oppressed of his
 land from the rule of the tyrant, and
 to raise them, If not morally at least
 governmentally. Simon Bolivar was not an adventurer, a restless wander ing buccaneer, but wealthy native, with no other motive to impel him than love of country. He believed his people ttampled upon, pulled by
 a comprny that employed the tor lures of the ipquislliOns to force from the lips of traitors the secrets of the rebellion or revOits; but as a means of enjoyment. Bolivar saw all this and his Ji 1t was onsed
 An extensive travelel in Europe and the United States, he learned much. Other nations were happy. Why not his? Other people free. Why not his? These questions caused him to act. A revolution commenced. Bolivar was at the head. Spain re
 solved to crush it and him. Men and money were freely used, The position of the liberty loving Bolivar and his companions was afttimes a critical one; destruction stared them in the face; Spain placed q premium upon deserters from their ranks, and 1t seemed as though tine canse for which they fought was destined to die. But 1t is ofttimes true that the improbable is the most probable. Bolivar, after years of starvation and danger, after the completion Of deeds as daring as those of Napoleon, after exhibiting generalship as great as that of Hannibal. was rejoiced with success, his country was free. Then came the working of It's laws, the regulating of its systems of national life. In all this he was successful but with him as with all men of that character came the penalty Other men were jealous because overshad-

An tent Filming.

Centuries ago the ancient Greeks operated lead mines in Northern Greece by methods so imperfect as to leave a large quantity of metal still in the residuum of the working. i number of years ago French mining engineer made an analysis of 5he debris of these old mines, with results so satisfactory that the busi- ness of re-working the enormous heaps Cf scori@ was at once begun and successfully carried on. These operations for a considerable length of time furnished the greater part of the lead supply ofthe Mediterranean coast. Explorations have recently
 leen made by some enterprising per ,ons in some old Phenician mines of Cypress, which discloses the exist ence of rich placers of mineral
 wealth in the old workings of the extinct mines of that island.-Chi- cago Mining Review.

Wonderful Presence of Kind.

Right here in Milwaukee Bay about 30 years ago, a friend and my self had started out fer a fish on the pier, and had taken our guns along to shoot ducks. Well, we hadn't been there long before l in some way lest my powder-horn overboard' aod sank in 30 feet of water. There u lav on the bottom in plain sight. My friend said he would dive for 1t. l noticed he didn't take off his powder morn. and before I could call atten- tiop to it he was in the water. l waited about twenty minutes"
 Twenty minutes p they all ex- claimed.
 That's the exact time, my friends I held my watch in my hand and imed him. After twenty minutes ] began to get a little nervous, and looked over the side of the boat, ano what do you think I saw?"

 No you are wrong. Here IS where 0e showed his presence of mind ano lhieving disposition. There he Sd Jn the bottom of the lake pourins powder out of my horn into his owl md whistling. That's what l con sider a remarkable incident of mans presence of mind."

History Ofa Famous Diamond

The "Orlov" diamond adorning tht imperial scepter of Russla has a TO mantle history. It Erst formed Ii its rough state the eye of an ldoi and was stolen bp Frenchman, Wh' sold if to 2 Hebrew merchant in Per sia for S10.CCO. The Sbah, having learned of the robbery and that tho thief was trying to sell the gem, de termined to arrest the thief anC seize the diamond, probably for th, purpose of keeping it himself, possl bly for the purpose of restoring It to its owner. The Jewish merchant, becoming alarmed, transferred the diamond to an Armenian for S6U, 900, who knew that If he could get to St. Petersburg 1he rich aud famous Catharine would buy 1t of hlm at handsome adv.uce.

Wbel the cut had healed sufficiently to al low tle renewal cf tie wIre, he bt gan hls travels toward Russia. l. the meantime the stone had beei traced to the Jewlsh merchant aD, from h1m to an Armenian. So wbel be boldly proclaimed himse i au Ar menian to the Shah's front CT off cials, he was at once arrested anC imprisoned. Strong emeucs wer administered, but no diamonds can ( to light.

What Wives are fer.

What the true man most wants of a wife is her con panionship, sympa
 thy and love. The way of life has many dreary places in 1t, and mar needs companion with him. A man IS sometimes overtaken with misfor- tune, he meets with failure and de
 feat; trials and temptations beset him and ho needs one to stand by and syInpathize- He has some stern battles to fight with poverty, with enimies and with sin, and he needs a woman that. us he puts bis arm around her, feels that he has some thing to fight for, will help him fight; who will put her lips to his ear and whisper words of counsel, and her hands to his heart ard impart new inspiration All through life; through storm and sunshine, con- fiict and victory; thr ough adverse and favorable winds, man needs a woman's love. The heart yearns for It. A sisters and mothers love will hardly supply the need. Yet many seek nothing farther than homework. Justly enough, half of these get
