A DEAL IN DIAMONDS.
A Bucketful of the Brilliant Gems tho
Subject of n Bit of Trade.


Subject of n Bit of Trade.
Now that Mr.. Cecil Rhodes has be-
come one of the men of the hour, it
will be of interest to relate a smart
transaction he had with his financial
colleague, Mr.. Barnato, another of the
diamond magnates of Kimberly, and
as widely known in South Africa as
Rhodes himself. Mr.. Rhodes, as
chairman of the De Beers company,
has often had the disposing of the
output of diamonds within his control,
while Mr.. Barnato, on behalf of his
firm, Messrs. Barnato Bros, has been
one of the heaviest purchasers of the
glittering gems. He had made Mr..
Rhodes an offer for the whole De
Beers stock which practically meant
all the diamonds in the market. Mr..
Rhodes replied that he would let him
have them on one condition. which
was, that they should pour the whole
lot, 100000 carats, into bucket, and
thus be able to gaze upon what no hui
man eye had ever previously seen,
viz, a buchetful of diamonds. Done"
replied Mr.. Barnato in his charac-
teristic phraseology, "I'll take them"
So the bargain was completed, and
they poured the mass of gems into
one bucket.
1t is said they gazed long at the
unique sight, and after the bucket had
been photographed the goods--dia-
monds are termed goods at Kim
berly-were duly delivered to the pur-
chaser. Then the acuteness Of Mr..
Rhodes showed resplendently. Dia-
monds take very careful sorting and
classifying, and in this bucketful there
were 100 kinds. Messrs. Barnato Bros.
were six weeks in completing the re-
sorting. and the gems were kept off
the market all that period; and, Of
course, Mr.. Rhodes had the market to
himself all the while, and scored one
in diplomatic tact over the deal.

something sho win outgrow.

A bridal couple started out from the
National hotel one morning recently
to do the city of Washington. They
first visited the depot where Garfield
fell, then walked through the Botan-
zeal gardens, and climbed Capitol hill.
1t was nearly noon when they passed
the statue of Chief Justice John Mar
shall. The sun was doing an honest
days work, and it is safe to say there
were no flies on that sun. The stall
wart groom held an umbrella over his
wilted but buoyant bride. They en-
tered the capitol, walked through the
rotunda, into the marble room, and,
in fact, all over the main floor of the
great edifice. One of the guides asked
Groomie why he didn't lower his UNI
brella, and he said: Because I'm
afraid Oracle will take cold. She is
very delicate" IL is possible that
next winter Oracle will be hardened
to this life, and be able to get out of
bed before daylight, to go and gather
chips and make the kitchen fire while

But He Did Not Sustain the Part for a

II had an experience playing ghost

r. c. West of Louisville the other
evening, ''that completely cured me
of that sort of thing. 1t happened in
this way: was about l6 years old at
the time, and was en- q visit to my
uncle, who resided in little town in
the mining regions of Pennsylvania.
One night two of my cousins and my
be great sport to dress ourselves like
ghosts and scare some miners who had
to pass by the graveyard about mid
night on their way to work. We ac-
cordingly procured some sheets, ETC.,
and about IL o'clock started forth.
There was a big arched gateway at
the entrance to the graveyard, and on
the top of this we took our position.
1--WE wound the sheets around us,
tied white cloths over our faces and
endeavored TO make ourselves appear
as ghostly as possible. Our intended
victims appeared on the scene shortly
after we had taken up our position.
When they were directly abreast of
us, |, in as sepulchral tone as could
muster, cried, Il cannot rest in my
grave The men stopped at once and
looked around, seeming at loss to
know where the voice came from. l
again repeated the words, when sud-
denly one of the miners looked up and
saw us. He Immediately whipped out
a pistol and, saying III be id if
you. rest there, either fred point
blank at us. The bullet flew wide of
its mark, but it served to make us
tumble off that gate in hurry and
never stop running until we reached
home, good deal more frightened
ourselves than we had even dared to
hope we would scare the miners"

The DoIeful Tale of q Telegram He
Did Not Get.
A New York city broker, whose
home is in New Jersey, obliged to lose
a day from his business, so he sent
word to his clerk at the Office to let
him know by cipher telegram some
thing of the days transactions. The
hours worn on, but no telegram ap-
peared, and the broker began to be
mystified at the unaccountable
negligence Of his faithful clerk.
The telegraph Office was mile
from his home, and there was
nothing to be done but to wait for the
messenger, who did not come. Next
morning the unhappy suburbanite
stopped on his way to the station to
make inquiries at the telegraph Office
for his missing telegram. The operator
was an old town gossip, with an inter-
est in everybody's affairs, and greeted
his visitor in neighborly fashion.
"Good morning, sir; all well, hope?"
Eyes, all right. l say, didn't you get
a telegram for me yesterday" "Tele-
gram for you? Well, let me see. Why,

WITH HER HAIR.
The Young Lady Stole Gold Dust and
Diamonds.

Diamonds.
Ayoung lady employed by gold and
silversmith in New York has only her
good looks to thank for the fact that
she was allowed to resign without
being prosecuted for theft. She has
an extraordinary fine head of hair,
which she allows to hang loosely over
her shoulders and nearly down to her
waist. From time to time it was
noticed that the gold used in the room
in which she worked did not go as far
as it ought in making jewelry and
gem settings, and that even allowing
for the filings, which are most care
fully preserved, there was a distinct
leakage.
Steps were taken to subject the
employees to more rigid search, but
no discovery was made until the young
lady with the long hair quarreled with
her roommate over love affair, and
in fit of jealousy her rival gave
away the most interesting story. The
young lady had kept her hair well
creased, and then while at work would
frequently pass her fingers through it
casually, as though it were mere
matter of habit. BY the process she
accumulated good deal of gold dust
in her hair and sometimes dropped
some diamond chips as well. Every
night she combed out her locks with
the smallest of tooth combs, carefully
collected the peculiarly purloined
treasure-trove and sold il without any
difficulty. She broke down complete
ly when taxed with the offense, made
restitution as far as she was able, and
her tears and promises were so pro-
fuse that she was then allowed to de-
part in peace, although her employers
somewhat inconsistency took meas
ures to prevent her obtaining further
employment in the business in which
she was an expert.

n Mint Mystery.

According to late report of the
director/of the mint, 1850 silver dol
lars with the date 1904 were coined
during that year. To-day less than a
dozen of them are known to be in ex-
istence and each is worth a small for
tune. There were $50, 900 half dollars
coined in the same year; at present
but one is known. What ever became
of the silver coinage of that year is
one of the unsolved governmental
mysteries. Thirty-two years later
there were only 1000 of the 1856 dol
lar pieces coined. Yet anyone who
has IS to invest can get one of them
for pocket piece. A cool $1,000
would not buy an 1904.

ONE WOMAN'S WAY.

She Masks as Meek Widow When She
Goes Forth Alone.
When a woman lives alone in the
city, as great many of the clerks in
the departments at Washington do,
there is one problem above all others
with which she is confronted, namely,
that of going about at night. 1t is
not always that there are fellow clerks
in the same boarding house who feel
inclined to go to the theater or go
calling at the same time, though "hen
parties" as the exclusive female thea
ter expeditions are facetiously termed,
are frequent makeshift. OF course,
there are a good many nice young
men who would gladly serve asescorts,
but they are not always wanted, and
sometimes when they are wanted
they are not to be had.
There is one woman, at least, who
has solved the problem for herself in
a way that is somewhat novel. A wo-
man alone on the street at night in
stylish clothes, such as most of the

the average girl does not want to wear
all her old clothes for the sake of
being inconspicuous, and the young
lady in question has provided herself
with long, plain, black cloak and a
little close-fitting widows cap, with a
bewitching white ruching inside it.
Thus armed and equipped she can
sally forth with all her best finery
protected beneath the Quakerish
cloak, and there is not one man in 500
who would not respectfully give her
the whole width of the sidewalk as
she walks meekly forth to some merry

Great Men Are often Disagreeable.

There is story of Carlyle in his old
age having taken the following fare
well, in his broadcast Scotch, of
young friend who had had him in
charge for weeks, and who, while al
most always adapting himself to
Carlyle's mood, had on single occas-
ion ventured to disagree with him. II
would have you to know, young man,
that you have the capacity of being
the greatest bore in Christendom."
The boredom had consisted solely in
the rather negative sin of not having
been convinced of the truth of one Of
Carlyle's dogmas.
