DISRUPTION OF FRIENDSHIP.
how On Intimacy OF Years was Brought
TO Nh End.

EiOw On Intimacy Of Years VIA Brought
70 an END.
Two women uptown. who havo tecn
dear friends for years, arc at laggers'
points. says The New YORK Evening Sun,
and the friends of both arc ranged on
one side or tho other of the controversy.
Tho cause Of it all is a cook. Mrs. A.
had u cook of superior skill. One day
she appeared before her mistress and
quietly announced that she should go
into Mrs. BIS service the next month
because Mrs. Il. had offered her larger
wages. Mrs. a. was thundcrstruck.
Her dearest friend ccmc into her homo
and steal away her chief dependence in
this way? Impossible! She put on. her
wraps and drove to Mrs. BIS home. 1t
was only too true. Her w familiar
friend in whom She had trusted had
lifted up her heel against her and hired
her cook out Of hand. Moreover, when
charged with her treachery she coolly
insisted that she hal every right in the
world to hire another woman's cook
away from her il she could, NJ matter if
that woman was her best friend.
Mrs. A. fairly gaspcd at tho hcresy.
Women had occasionally been known to
do this dark and dishonoraLlc uced, but
there had never been one found SO hard
encd in iniqnity as to offend 1T. rcr-
haps Mrs. Is. would be capable of q like
defense if she had cstrangcd tho Affect
ions of Mrs. AS husband or children
from her. Mrs. Is. had tho grace given
her to rcjoin that there was no parallel
in the cases. This was an affair purely
of business. The cooks services were
worth S much a month to Mrs. a. If
they were worth moro to another IN
that woman had q perfect right to make
the fact known to the cook and the cook
to profit by it. This was the business
method. and no man accused another of
d%isllonorabl, methods because he had
offered his most competent assistant
better pay for his services. Mrs. a. re-
fused to look at the matter in that light
and they pa.ted-Mrs. A. in tears, Mrs.
Is. III the cool consciousness of business
sagacity and Of unsullicd rcctitudc.
The matter was speedily brought into
an open parliament of their common
women friends, there to be tho subject
of an intellectual game of %battlcdorc
and s%huttlc-cock that is still at its
hrickncf.

Too Much Government.

One of the results of the blizzard
like election Of last Noyember has been
to give a number of states too much
government. In Connecticut there
are two Governors, in Nebraska
three. The legislature of Montana and
Colorado are each engaged in an IN
tense struggle to ascertain .'who is
who' and what is what The legis-
lature Of New Hampshire could not
organize until the Supreme Court
had been called upon to settle
questions Of disputed law, and the
legislature ssof South Dakota, Kansas
and Illinois are SO mixed in their three
sided political compilations that they
cannot agree on United States Senators
The peopl. are governing themselvc,
with a vengeance this year and on
mistake.-New York Press.

Black Hills Tin.

Henry c. Wicker, general man.
ager of Harvey Peak Consolidated
Tin Company of Hill City, has re-
Gently returned from a meeting of
the company in New York. The
company has made arrangements
for a large amount of machinery,t to
be put in operation this coming
summer.
"The mineral of our mines,"
said Mr.. Wicker, els the black
oxide of tin, and it will average
100 pounds to the ton. 1t is in
true assure veins, with slate walls
and when thus found the product
is never known to give out. The
farther down we get the better is
the ore, and the veins probably ex-
tend for miles in the earth. The
Black oxide is the finest quality
ever discovered; it melts easily and
can be used for plating. No such
tin was ever produced in the cele-
brated mine at Cornwall, England;
so you see | do not exaggerate
when l say the tin of the South
Dakota mines is the finest in the
world. This fact is known in Lon
don and New York, where there
are specimens, and specimens, too
can be seen by any one who doubts
my statements in the offices of
Clay & Forrest, in the Illinois Ma
%tional Bank building in Chicago.
"The trouble with the Americans
is they are too impatient. They
think we can go out to the Hills,
dig a hole in the ground, and pro-
ducc tin right away. But it takes
time to developc a mine, and that
part now has been accomplished.
Just as soon as the frost is out of
the gruond, the mill that we have
gone to the expense of several
hundred thousand dollars to have
sent to Hill City will be put in
operation, and l ann as certain as
| am living that before many
months have passed we will be
able to furnish the mill with 500
tons of ore to crush. Then the i'm
patient Americans will know posi-
lively that the new tariff bill is
not protecting an industry not yet
born. 1t was born long ago and
at present is a large-sized adult.
1t takes time to develope mine
when it is to be run on an econom-
ical plan. There is s15,ooo,oo o
invested in this enterprise, and the
men interested don't propose to
spoil their prospects by being
hasty. They know as we'll as l
what the goo claims we have can
produce, as an assayer is working
on the ore all the time making
models, such as small anvils, pa
per weights, etc. Our workmen
have gone down 900 feet in some
of the shafts.
eyes, the quantity oftin in the
Black Hills is unlimited. Our
mine arc scattered around Hill City
in horseshoe shape for thirty miles.
We will soon have 1900 men at
work-two in each of the claims
and if l were not certain that the
ore is all l claim it tie be you can
wager all you have that l wouldn't
be spending so much money for
labor. 1t is going to be one Of the
greatest industries in the world,
and before June the people will
Thoroughly realize it,"

A woman who knows Anna Dickinson
we'll says that she seems to possess tho
secret of eternal youth. If you did not
know her you would find it impossible
to tell her age. In figure she is below
medium height and slender, though she
gives you tho impression Of being
strongly made. Her eyes arc gray and
large, her complexion is clear and dark,
her raouth is set in firm lines and hcr
hair is short, brown and curling. IIcr

How an Ir,sh-Indian Got Ahead Of Gov.

is in favor Of prohibition. Tho law Of
the United States is that no shall

the Cherokee legislators go further aud
prohibit tho bringing of it into tho Tor.

In Tahlequah, when Dushyhcad was
Governor, there was on Irish black
Smith named Mike Delaney. Now,
Mike had been received into the tribe
because ho had married o squaw, and,
strange as 1t may seem, was more an
Indian than any native. lie used to
orata by tho hour over his forge at the
wrongs OF the rcd men, and enc of his
f~avoritc pcrorations was:
"VNc have boon pairsecuted by the

Mike frequently delivered himself of
this and the moro iirc-watcr he h:.l in

when the Governor was at the court

Tho Governor gave tho money and,
half al hour later, dcputixing somc one

Ac,,on Of Hot and Cold water.


Il is somewhat surprising that cold

that beer is fattening, but 1t owes such
action almost entirely, If not absolutely
TO the water. Here it is interesting 70

stefan. For four years he drank two
gallons Of peer daily. and increased his

in seven days. In corpulent people the
fattening effect Of cold water s always
greater il it is INDUCED in freely with
the meals OF shortly after them.
A probable explanation Is that by
distending the stomach and dilutng
the digestive fluids il retards digestion,
which process, as already said, is sci
