The late sultan of Turkey Abdul Aziz

AT one time the sultan absolutely refused
to grant an audience to any member of the
diplomatic body, and spent the greater part
of his time in cock fighting, an amusement
which he greatly relshed.
Ignatieff learned that his imperial males.

place of those killed in fight.
Thereupon Ignatieff procured fine look

it trimmed and spurred to resemble game
cock, and sent it in a richly decorated cage
to the sultan.
The ruse WAS successful, but the sultan
at first delighted with the gift, soon sent
for the ambassador to present himself at

went, examined the bird in the presence of
the sultan and, with great establishment

The strike of three inch vein of native
silver in the mines at Caribou recalls an
old story of the discovery of the mines, as
told by Sam Cushmau, an old time resi-
dent of Gilpn county, and at one time
superintendent of the Caribou property.
Some twenty-five years ago there lived at
Black Hawk prospector who never
ieemed capable of getting ahead in the
world He prospected on grub stakes" in
the summer. sawed wood and did chores in
the winter, but was at all times happy
go-lucky sort of a fellow, well liked by all
who knew him.
When the Union Pacific was completed
to Cheyenne he was seized with desire to
20 east and see the old folks. BY one
means or another he managed to acrape
money enough together and started for
Cheyenne. Arriving there, he wandered
down to the depot and not having seen an
engine or "A railroad for many years he was
greatly interested in the movements of
trains in the yard. AT last something
particular attracted his attention. He
climbed on the car and critically examined
its contents, putting Il specimen or two in
his pocket.
"Stop that" yelled a brakeman.
why, it's not good for much is it?" re-
piled the astonished prospector.
THAT'S Nevada ore, and it's worth 81 900
ton"
well, know where there are tons of
it," replied the Coloradoan, as he jumped
from the train and started for the leading
corral to engage passage with the next OK
train for the mountains Quitting him
self he started for the Boulder mountain
and located the Caribou lode. The truth
was he had often walked over the float
that indicated the mine, but never sup
posed that it was good for anything until
he learned its value in the manner related.
The prospector disposed of his claim for a
song, but the late ex-senator Chatfee sold
it to Holland syndicate for round mil
lion dollars. -Denver News.

a dealer in pictures who makes it his
business to find as many new painters rs
possible, both in this country and abroad,
was asked in regard to his methods OF Sc
lecting pictures to buy. He WAS very
frank in his talk, and one thing which he
said is shrewd enough to be worth quoting.
"Ot course,' he said, with my expert.
ence am able to judge whether there is
promise in painters work. but ! never
buy with any idea of putting the painter
on my list until have seen the man and
talked with him myself. | always watch
him closely, and never buy hi, pictures
unless his eye lights up when talk to him
about hi, work and about his profession. "
The artist whose heart wa, really in his
work could not discuss it without kiuiIng.
and the man who did not paint from The
heart was not the one whose pictures the
dealer wanted.
The remark was not only one which
showed insight and shrewdue,S on the part
of the dealer, but it is one of a good deal of
Significance in regard 10 all work. The

In country lanes the robins sing,
Clear throated, joyous, swift of wing,
From misty dawn to dewy eve
Though cares of nesting vex and grieve
Their little heart bells ring and ring.

Tie scent of spray that lovers weave
In country lanes,

His music forth; and he will cling

In years, but in continuous service On
Sept. H. 1913, he joined the militia and
has missed fewer drills and encampments
since than many miitiamen do in five

from Scott's tactics and the old lintocks

tactics
On reaching his eighty third year he de-
cded to resign, alleging that he was no
longer able to do the duties of quarter
master sergeant, but Colonel George ID.
Scott, of the Eighth, fatty refused to re-
ceve his resignation on such grounds, as
signing younger man to do the work and
giving the old sergeant exemption from
drill whenever he felt iudisposed. Mr..
Connor was born Jan. 16 lSOS, in Newark,
y. j., and felt his first prOmptings to mi

as much. The bank had an ADVERTISED paid

high dividends and herein is the secret Of

one dollar Of visible money is made to do

ruplcies in the nine months of this year.

aggregating $13s, 8ll $40, being greater in
number and amount than any other nine
months previous.
The republican party is welded to this
infamous financial system ard its leaders
are proclaiming from the very house tops
and publishing it in the steets that they
mean to continue it, that as financial policy
it is the bes. 10 the world. The leaders OF
the democrat party. (which party showed
signs ofrebelIion against it and sy mptoms Of
returning to the policy Of Jefferson and
Jackson, whom they are always quoting but
never obeying), are being bn.ldozed and
frightened into the defense of continuance
ofthe same policy. The lying daily papers

great progress and unparalleled prosperity
