THOUGHT HE WAS clloRoFoRMsoL

What Came of the Use Uf Moth Pre-
 ventive by Washington Woman.
 There is one lady in Washington who when she puts away her winter furs at the end of the season will probably not use moth balls to pro tect them. The pungent odor of this detergent has 8 peculiar effect on some organisms, as she has learned by a most disagreeable experience during her Christmas shopping.
 The lady in question is the wife of government official of high standing. Just before Christmas she took from . clothes press fur trimmed cloak which had been laid away since last winter, and forgot to remove from its secret recesses the moth balls with which it was powerfully charged. At tired in. the garment she entered jeweler's establishment recently opened on Pennsylvania avenue and asked to be shown some diamond rings.
 The proprietor was alone in his store. As the lady leaned over the tray to ex- anime the rings whiff of the odor of moth balls struck him. With hur- ried motion he thrust the tray of rings back in the case and rushed to the door, where he stood for some time in dating his lungs with the crisp, wintry air. Then, returning, he ran to his telephone All this time the lady GUS toner was standing in wide eyed won- der1nent. AS soon as an opportunity ~H ,1> I,s l. IL and he gasped out that he had been overcome by sudden sense of sufooa- ton, but was better now.
 The lady resumed her purchasing, and selected costly ring with a re- quest that it be sent to her husbands address. AS she left the store she mo- ticed that sonic one was apparently following her. In an hours time she reached her residence, and was aston ished to find her husband closeted with detective, who had informed him that it had been reported at police headquarters that genteelly dressed diamond thief had attempted to spray chloroform in the face of 8 jeweler, and when detected had given her address as his house. The detective had just completed a description of the lady and her address as furnished to the police when the lady herself entered and was at once greeted by the official as hin wife.
 The explanations that followed made the situation scarcely less embarrassing. The ring was returned to the jeweler with an admonition to be more careful in future" in noting the difference in sodor between chloroform and moth balls. -st. Louis s1aspohlia

Farewell! God speed thee on thy way ,s Acr~ss the waste of waters blue; From dangers guard thee night and day. And keep thee gentle, kind and true.

Tho Dead Sea.

One of the most interesting lakes or inland seas in the world is the Dead sea, which has no visible outlet. It is not mere fancy which has .plothed the Dead sea in perpetual gloom. The desolate shores, with scarcely green thing in sight, scattered over with black stones and ragged driftwood, forms fitting frame for the dark, sluggish waters, overhung with a con- tinual mist, and breaking in slow, heavy sepulchral toned waves upon tho beach. It almost seems as if the smoke from the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, which lie at it's bottom, was yet ascending up to heaven, and as if the moan of their fearful sorrow would never leave the death smitten valley.
 It is strange thing to see those waves, not dancing along and spark ling in the sun as other waves do, but moving with measured melancholy and breaking upon the shore with scarcely a sound-a fact due to the great heavi- ness of the liquid, which has more salt and bitumen in it than water Fish cannot live in such solution. It has even been said that birds cannot fly over, an absurdity often disproved.- St. Louis Republic.

ovERsToCKED RANGES.
AS We approached the home camp it
became apparent to me that since left it
few months ago that the grass had fallen
off greatly in quality and quantity. The
more vigorous of the range stock was met
out ten miles from water, where they
found good grass. From thence in, how
ever, the feed became less by degrees and
the stock generally thinnerin flesh near
ing water the grass was cropped to the
roots, with an occasional weak animal in
sight that would soon become food for
the buzzards and coyotes.
PROSPECTING FOR FRESH RANGE.
Between the absence of sufficient rain
during the past summer and fall and the
encroachment Of cattle from over stocked
ranges adjacent, grass had disappeared
where only a short time since it had been
ample, hence found under discussion, on
arrival at the old COW camp, a prospect
ing trip for new water and fresh grass.

mount and accompanied my friend upon
his prospecting trip.
The forenoon was spent in rounding up
the horses from the grazing ground now
some three or four miles away we'll up in
the hills. Blankets and grub packed, we
pulled out of camp near the middle of the
afternoon our immediate destiny being a
mixers cabin eight miles out and which
was convenient to grass water and wood,
thus insuring an early start for our OBJ
jective point the following day.

hills, which were disposed to be quiet and
accommodating. Our party at once came

mean time the balance of the party had

a hot supper before blazing fire.

the leader, they were turned up the hill
side. Without ceremony we proceeded to

ratory for our early start the next day.

special from Mason City, Iowa, says: o.

interests in Illinois, and a wholesale deal

said there was not weeks supply of coal
in the hands of the dealers in Iowa, the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Kansas or Nebras-
ka. Miners are working on half time be-
cause of scarcity of cars.
The situation is not due to the negli-
gence of the railroads, but the develop
ment of the west and the sudden demand
for coal caused by cold weather at time
when cars are loaded with grain. All
that part of the country is in immediate
danger of serious coal famine.

DEMING TOWN SITE.
Secretary Noble Renders a Decision in
the Case Against 1t.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Secretary Noble
has rendered a decision in the case of the
heirs of William Bond and others against
the Deming, New Mexico, new town site.
The secretary sustans the decision of the
commissioner of the general land office,
allowing the probate judge of Grant ccun-
ty to enter all the land in question as the
town site of Deming in trust for the sew
eral use and benefits of its occupants &C.
cording to their respective interests.
Secretay Noble holds that Bond and
kidder have no rights, and that the only
question is between the town site claim
ants and the government; that the only
way to protect persons having improve
ments on the tract is by entering the
same for town site purposes.
