TABOR'S GREAT STRIKE.
He Took 81,3OO,oOO Out of the Little

He Took s1,3OO,0OO Out of the Little
Pittsburgh within Four Mouths.
Ex-senator Tabor, of Colorado was
In Washington few days ago and
during his stay here he said he was
going to make a big fortune out OF his
Mexican mines, his suits concerning
(which have just been settled in his
favor These are old mines which are
being reworked, and Tabor paid, am
told, 800, 900 for his interest in them,
and he contracted at the same time to
put up stamp mills and build such ma
chipery as would enable them to go in
at the side of the mountain and get
right at the great vein of ore In. that
way. Tabor became millionaire in
month once, but it is said he made ST.
300, 900 out of the Little Pittsburgh in
four months. s.-.r --. rss8 s.s.s
Senator Tabor might have had fair
reputation as business man and as a
practical millionaire had he kept out of
politics. But he lost his head when he
made his millions in less than a month,
and nothing but a spicl1-span new wife
and famous position would satisfy
him. The story of his divorce from the
woman with whom he had lived and
worked all his life. of his marriage in
justice of the peace's Office in St. Louis
to a divorced woman, and the joke
which he perpetrated upon President
Arthur and Washington society when
he brought this woman to Washington
and here married her, as it was sup
posed, for the first time, would make
one of the most interesting plays that
could be based on American history.
And what has become OF the first
Mrs. Tabor? In the suit for alimony
which she entered against Tabor she
was granted with her divorce some
thing like 100000 worth of Denver real
estate. This was decided over to her,
and with the growth of the city it has
SO increased in value that she is now
worth more than 81, 900, 900. She is a
4 woman of high character and she inn
presses you as being kind, intelligent
and motherly. She moves about in the
best society in Denver. l understane

Quarrel About q Nose.

The statue of Paul Veronese at the
.ity of Verona was mutilated by the
nose being broken off. The city council
asked the sculptor Cristain, who made
the statue, to repair the nose. He said
he could not make good job of it with
out making new head to replace the
mutilated head, which he offered to do
for two hundred dollars. The council
decided that the city could not afford
so much money for broken stone nose,
and called upon a number of other
artists to mend the nose. Cristain sent
out declaration protesting against
any attempt to deface his work of art
by putting on a nose because itcould
mot. possibly be well done. All the
sculptors to whom the council applied
refused to undertake the job. For the
present, therefore, Paul Veronese wiz

HOW Men Fail when shot.

The manner in which men fall de
pends also upon the nature Of the
action in which they are engaged.
Nearly every one is familiar with the
traditional stage fail, where the victim
of a supposed dead-shot strikes an atti-
tude, clasps his hand to his heart, stiff
fens every Joint and muscle, breathes
historically, and goes down like log
toppled over from one end. Another
popular yet erroneous notion is that
men shot through the vitals leap into
the air and go down ins a dramatic atti-
tude. Sometimes men are found on the
field in striking positions, but often an
examination shows that the position
was taken after the fall. Asa rule,
man who is hit abovesthe hips goes
down. The. s1ighter the wound the
more eommotion, for the body instinct
lively resists, just as it does when one
slips or is pushed or collfdes with some
| object But wound in vital spot
weakens the resistance, and men sink
at once. or reel and tumble with very
little self-control. : Popular Sciencs

JUST WHAT A coRKER is.
A Pointer About Much-Used Word Well

A Pointer About q Much-Used Woru wen
Taken. t.--
The word 'tcorlxer'' is a much-abused
one. for the reason that its real mean
ing is unknown to the vast majority OF
those who use the word. 1t is derived
from the French word "corquer," and
that comes from, the Latin ''coreare,
which in turn was born of the Greek
word ''korka, . ssignifyings 'incompara-
BILE one" ...--..
J Throughout the Homerian epics the
goddess whom we call Venus is referred
to as Venus the corker, and the epithet
as originally applied seemed to imply
not only natural and inherent quail
ties, but also shining and distinguished
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and intel
lectual. beauty, attractions. charms,
gifts and arts. >4s+ e-~~ sas ~ Fl
Our word, perverted by the ribald
usage of the profanely needless, has
come to imply a, certain disregard of
consequences, so that. when one speaks
of another as corker the multitude
gathers therefrom that he who is des-
ipnated as a corker must necessarily be
wcll-neaning but-heedless pyrotech-
mist in speech and action. The word
Thoroughbred" corrupted by the bru-
| tai Familiarity of idle tongues, has come
to have a similar meaning. Chicago
