Speaking about mascot money"
said Henry Il Gillespie. of Aspen, Colo,
reminds me Of how poor Kit Carson,
otherwise J. 9. Carson, once treasured
a silver half crown given him by a sue
cessful Colorado miner. Kit is dead,
but the story lives in the centennial
state along with the pleasant memo
ries Of the well known man. Luck
seemed against Kit, and he was forced
to suffer the spectacle of a number Of
his confreres striking rich mines. One
day he asked one Of his more fortunate
friends for a mascot or fetish. so TO
speak. He wanted something that
would bring him good luck. The
friend gave him an old English half
crown piece that he had carried for
years and speedily forgot the occur
renee.
Some time later the giver while in
Denver was accosted on the street by
his tailor. who told him TO come down
and try on the elegant broadcloth suit
Just finished for him.
But. my dear sir. 1 never ordered
a broadcloth suit, said the now excited
man.
Yes you did, and you are coming
down TO try it on and pay for it, or I'll
you, said the tailor with a well
feigned display Of anger.
1t ended in the miner going 10 the
shop He tried on the suit. made after
the measurements OF the last nit he
had ordered, and he pronounced il a
perfect CT. But. look here, Mr.. Tailor,
! didn't order a SIPS suit Of broad
cloth.
The tailor thought the fun had pro-
ceeded far enough. He informed the
miner that a man who would not give
his name, and who simply displayed an
old, worn half crown had ordered the
suit for his friend and had paid for it,
Kit Cafson' was all the miner
could say as he took the parcel which
the tailor handed him and walked
home as in "A dream. Mr.. Carson had
found the good luck, and as he reli-
giously stuck TO the idea that the mascot
coin brought it he adopted this plan Of
showing his gratitude" Chicago

A curious effect OF the wear and tear
10 which the earth's crust is ever being
subjected is exhibited in the singularly
capped pinnacles existing on South
river. In the Wahsatch mountains.
There are hundreds Of these slender
pillars, ranging in height from 40 to
400 feet. most Of them crowned by
large caps Of stones. They are not
works Of human art, as might be i'm
agined. but are the memorial mOnu-
ments Of the hill from which they have
been cut by the action of air and water.
Those pinnacles alone remain Of many
square miles Of solid rocks. which have
been washed away to a depth of some
400 feet.
The greater hardness of the surface
has caused il 10 resist corrosion more
than the underlying rock. thus leaving
