Gold Digging,

Perhaps it was not an old Forty
miner" who gave the following descrip-
ton, but it was a man who knew the
work in question. Like most enthusi-
asts, however, he undertakes the trial
and disappointment involved.
It's the prettiest work l ever did.
It's the fascination of it; when you've
struck it pretty rich and see your gold
right in front Of you, when you're
piling it up every half hour of the day,
with a nugget now and again as big as
bullet to cheer you.
And then when the evening comes
and you count it up and find it a hun
dred odd dollars, just picked out O. the
earth that day, well, there's nothing
like it!
Then, when you don't strike it, you
always think you're going to next day;
and it's just as exciting hearing other
men tell in the evening what they've
pulled out, rs it is counting your own.
Why, I've been three months at a
time without making a dollar and with
out a cent in my pocket, but, gee-whit-
taker! the excitement of it don't give
a man time to think how hard up he is!

"Pawnbroking Is a habit" said Il

patent medicine habit is nothing to it.
After anybody has hung up something
with me a few times he's pretty sure
to become regular customer. He does
business with me just like clock work
after that; always goes broke just so
long before pay day. Two of the best
people / have are husband and wife,
and neither knows that the other ever
heard Of such q thing as hooking a
watch. l know that from the way they
acted, and / was pretty much surprised
one day when the woman brought in
the pawn ticket for her husband s
watch. She didn't look as if anything
unusual had happened, and l sized up
watch instead That was what she
wanted. Next day the husband came
in with the ticket for his wife's watch.
1 gave him his own watch and he never
knew the difference. You see, they had
hidden their tickets in the same place.
They have brought their watches
around ever since, which they wouldn't
have done by any manner of means if
hadn't had my wits about me. Now,
one of those church pawnbrokers down
in New York wouldn't have known
enough to do that, and would have
lost two good customers as well as
made trouble in an estimable family,

Of mint essence. The results were good,
not only in the early stages, but even
after large cavities had formed and
when the sputa were loaded with

peared in a few days, the cough and
expectoration were notably diminished,
the night sweats ceased and the bodily
weight increased. The bacilli diSap-
peared entirely from the sputum i'll
periods varying in the different cases
from two weeks to two months. The
physical signs in the lungs also i'm
proved and became perfectly normal

In an address before the students Of
the school of agriculture, Ohio State
university, ex+GOV. Hoard said: Il
want to say something along the line of
study in dairy work.
In the first place want to speak
of the importance Of special training
in dealing with the forces marshaled
before us. We have first to understand
the subject of maternity, the life which
lies in the COW. We depend on ma
ternity-the functuiOn of milk giving
is maternal function. The laws that
control it are the laws of maternity
and the man who has to do with it
needs to study the laws of maternity.
He needs to study the treatment that
is successful with maternity and invar-
iably he takes the max vf science for
his guidance. If he is successful he
needs to study it in it's every action.
He can only promote the flow of the
tactical if he provides for the comfort
of the cow. Anything that disturbs
the COW, or anything that produces
nervousness in her, takes away the
flow and restricts the milk giving, and
as a natural consequence touches the
mans pocket nerve. l want to make
this lecture intensely selfish but wise
ly so. want it to be practical. 1
want you to see the profit in doing
this.
Now he must understand that he
has based his whole work on this ques-
tion Of maternity and he needs his best
study along this line. He can study
the laws which govern it, he can study
other forms of life and then he will be
fitted to study this question of materni-
fy. He must understand that it means
first warmth. If he is shrewd he will
see that that mother is insured O stlf.
ficient degree of warmth to secure q
flow of the iacteals.
Then there is q constant need of his
best study along the line of the prOduc
ton of food for the COW on the farm
There are to-day fortunes awaiting
farmers ii they would study how tC
produce the finer kinds of food for the
COW on the farm. It is settled that the
cow must be fed and tho question of the
kind Of food is an important one
Milk is 2 perfectly balanced com

he must feed a balanced ration to Sc

Relics of Race who Lived ON an
Island Or the French Coast.
A lady whose home is in the south of
France writes to Goldthwaite's Maya
zine of visit she made recently to an
island ON the coast Of Brittany. Those
who have read the story of King
Arthur and his knights will remember
that they started out over the sea in
pursuit of the dragon. In this, the
MARKHAM sea, is little island which
can be reached from the mainland only
when the water is smr h. The sole
inhabitant is a Breton epherd, who
lives in little hut and spends his
time in caring for his sheep. The party
landed and were met by this kind
faced old man, who led them over the
grassy slope where his flock was feed
ing, and showed them the way around
hill, on the east side of which they
found the entrance to tunnel. This
extended some distance, and its floor,
sides and roof We're made of immense
fiat pieces of stone, covered with hero
glyphs and figures Cooking somewhat
like wreathes and again like coiled
was n hall, also f1Oored, rooted and
walled with the same curious stones,
and in the center was an altar and
stone upon which it is thought that
human sacrifices have been offered. The
strangest part of all is that no stones
or rocks like those used in this tunnel
can be found on the island, and at no
place nearer than 100 miles inland.
Who brought them? How did they
come? There is no record left-at least
none has been found-to tell who these
people were, or anything about them.
They must have lived many centuries
ago. but have vanished entirely, yet
their work is as perfect apparently as
when first built. 1t is thought that they
may have been Druids, who came here
when they left Great Britain; others,
again think that they were worshipers
of the serpent god called HOa. But 1t
is conjecture All we know is that the
stones are there, strangely carved, skill
fully put together, but of their builders
there Is no trace.

ROMANCE OF A MEXICAN
COURT

MedicaI Experts Called Upon to De-
eide N Strange Question OF Ma
ternity.
A queer case has just been decided
by Second Criminal Judge Manuel f.
de Las Hose of the City of Mexico,
says n writer in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. March % of last year, Mi
guel Navarro, a wealthy Mexican, and
his wife went out walking, leaving in
their house n twO-months' old boy in
care of the nurse one Matilde Murillo.
When they returned the woman and
child had disappeared. The woman
Murillo was found and arrested April
"a At the police station she made the
declaration that the child was her own,
born Feb. "a, and that it's father was
her lover, Jose Ramos. who has since
disappeared. She stated on crOsS-ex-
animation that one day coming out of
the founding hospital, where she had
given birth to the baby, she met Sen
ara Navarro, who said to her that she
was in great trouble. She had just
been taken i'll, fhd she feared that her
husband would kill her, as he had
threatened to do, if she did not bear
MIN 4 son. She accordingly proposed
TO the Murillo woman that the latter
should bring her baby to Senior NAvar-
ro'S house, and that when he returned,
hi being at the time absent from the
city, they would tell him that it had
just been born to his wife and that
Matilde had been called in as nurse
The latter, being In need, accepted the
offer. Afterward, seeing that the re-
puted PARENTS loved the child rs dearly
as if it were their own, her mothers
instincts were aroused and she repentcd
the role she had taken. She therefore
told Sonora Navarro that she could
Tot carry on the fraud any longer, and
the latter, kpOwing her determination,
arranged with her the abduction dec
lara ton before the police court. Sc
nor Navarro had not the slightest kUs-
piciOn Of the facts. Sonora Navarro,
on her part. strenuOuSly protested be-
fore the court that she was the real
mother of the child and that the nurse
had become so jealous of her by the
lCye she had formed for the child that
she was trying to take it away. The
court puzzled over the matter for many
days, and finally. being at a loss to
come to a decision, called in medical
experts. After q close examination
these came to the decision that the
nurse is the mother, and the decision
was rendered accordingly.
