MEN CAN'T UNDERSTAND.
The Slight Appreciation which Most
Men Have for the Woes OF Women

The Slight Appreciation which Most
Men Have for the Woes Of Women
prominent lady of New York City, who was
entertaining some friends at her home recently,
became considerably aroused at the remarks of
gentleman, who spoke of women as the
"weaker SEX" Strengthening herself up, she
said:
"You call us the weaker sexr Perhaps be-
cause we suffer. Do you not know, sir, that
women suffer in a manner that men cannot
understand? No man, unless he be doctor
and not always then, can fully understand a
woman's sufferings. She makes few COM
plants. Sometimes she will admit that she has
a headache, sometimes that her nerves are out
agony in silence, than acknowledge their suffer
ings, or make those miserable about them"
There is world of truth in the above re-
marks, ana they show how essential it is for
women in all stations of life to fortify them
selves by right living, good food, and gentle
stimulants The best physicians have declared,
and most women have learned, that pure
manner of relieving the weaknesses and de-
pressions to which they are subject. 1t is this
which has made Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey so
wonderfully popular with both men and
women. Perfectly pure, containing properties
possessed by no other known whiskey, and pro-
ducing effects upon the health and life which
no other means have ever been able to accom-
plish, 1t stands, as 1t deserves to stand I'M
rivalled among the common-sense remedies of
the present day. 1t should be borne in mind,
however, that only pure whiskey should under
any circumstances be used and that Duffys
Malt Is acknowledged by both physicians and
chemists to be absolutely the best

Monstrous Power OF Sea Breakers.
From experiments made last month at
Bell Rock and Skerryvole lighthouses, on
the coast Of Scotland, it was found that
while the force Of the breakers on the
side Of the German ocean may be taken
at about a ton and half to every square
foot of exposed surface, the Atlantic
side throws breakers with double that
force, or three tons to the square foot;
thus surface Of only two square yards
sustains blow from heavy Atlantic
breaker equal to fifty-four tons.
In March of this year heavy gale
blew for three days and nights at Sherry
vole, washing out blocks of limestone
and granite of three and five tons weight
as easily as if they had been empty egg
shells, in some cases throwing them en-
tirely over the breakwater at Plymouth.
Over 300 tons of such blocks were washed
300 feet up the inclined beach after being
thrown over the breakwater and scat
tered about in various directions.
One block Of limestone, estimated to
be Of fifteen tons weight, was moved
over 100 feet from a place in the surf
where it had been firmly grounded since
1897, it having first been rolled in sight
by the awful gale of the windy Christ
mas" Of that year. This is quite high
sea record for 1890, showing that the
gale of March 8 was the worst known on
the Scottish coast for 1913 years. Chicago

Black Hills Tin Mines.

Joseph Hare, editor of The Tin Miner,
of Hill City, s. D., in speaking of the tin
mines at that place, says: "Hill City is
situated exactly in the center of the tin
belt, which is in the shape of half
moon, and is about thirty miles in length
and three miles wide. We are twenty
eight miles from Rapid City, the near
est railroad point.
"The richness Of these mines is simply
wonderful, and one who has not been
there can hardly believe it, but l state a
fact when I tell you that there is enough
tin on the dumps and in sight now to
supply the United States for five years.
As soon as the big mill is started at Hill
City we shall then be able to ship the
tin out in bars. Some Of these mines
have been pushed down 240 feet, and the
deeper the richer.
"The vein is eight feet thick and dips
toward the east at an angle of about As
dogs. Some Of the mines average 274
per cent. Of metallic tin, and the whole
ledge averages 10 per cent. The capital
lists interested are mostly New York and
English men. The larger part Of the
capital is furnished by New York men,"

opinions, are aware of the battle that he

him by as able and independent jurist

party, unite in electing him. The in

WILL BE DUG UP.
THE BODY OF DANIEL J. HARRIS TO
BE ExHUMED.
Rich Man Dies-A Prospect of Lively
Fight Over His Fortune-Dr. A. s.
Shorb and His Wife Testify in the Case.

There are likely to be some very SEN
sational developments in the settlement
of the estate of Daniel j. Harris, a
wealthy citizen who died in Los Angeles,
in August last, not quite two months
ago. He was worth about $3.50, 900, and
died intestate, Public Administrator
Field securing letters of administration
on the estate.
1t soon developed that DR.. A. s. Shorb
and wife had secured quite good slice
of the wealth of the deceased. A GER
tificate of deposit for $4,000 in Mrs.
Shorb's name had been collected, a
check for over 5000, drawn to DIR.
Shorb, was presented at bank about an
hour after Mr.. Harris died, and they
have evidences of indebtedness in their
possession for money advanced by Mr..
Harris, which they claim he released.
The matter was brought to head by
the citation of DIR. Shorb before Judge
Clark, which was mentioned several
days ago. His testimony there was to
the effect that these amounts were gifts
to him and his wife by the deceased,
who felt grateful to them for services
done him in the past. Amongst these
services DR.. Shorb mentioned that
he had brought Mr.. Harris and
his wife together again after they
had separated. Mrs. Harris was
a domestic in DIR. Shorb's family
when the deceased married her. The
result of the examination of DR.. Shorb
was not satisfactory to the public ad-
ministrator, and the end is not yet In
the case. The testimony taken at the
citation proceedings was ordered tran
scribed, and will be filed today in Judge
sClark's court.
DR.. Shorb was the physician who at
tended Mr.. Harris during his last ill
ness, and was with him when he died.
An insurance policy for $1,000 has just
been allowed by the insurance company
on proofs made by DR.. Shorb, in which
he named heart disease as the cause OF
the death of Mr.. Harris. A brother OF
the deceased is here from the east, and
it has been learned that the exhumation
of the remains of the deceased is con-
templated for the purpose of making a
thorough investigation into the causes
of his death. There are other features
of the case which are expected to de-
velop in few days. The public admin
istrator does not hesitate to say that the
whole affair looks very queer, and that
it looks as if portion of the estate has
been made away with.
