Mexican Don's silver Mine, Which lie
Taps when lie Needs Cash.

\ Mcxicun erandcc whose name is Don
Alcazar dc Chiiic0Iorow, owns II famous
mine of incxhaustible riches in the state
of Chihuahua 1t contains a high grade
silver orc and is SO rich that whenever the
don and his sonora run short of money they
simply direct the head pcon to gather to-
gcthcr his delegation of IL or 10 scrfs and
their equally patient and accomplishing
fellow serfs, the burros Then the don
mounts the head burro, and the procession
takes the trail for the family mine, as it
is called. The mine has been in the pos
session of the don and his ancestors for
the past three centuries. 1t is nothing but
a rude tunnel in the mountain side. The
entrance to the tunnel is securely barri-
cadcd with heavy timber DOORS which are
securely locked with three old Spanish
locks, the keys to which are always in the
possession of the don. When the mine is
reached, the don unlocks the doors. He
then directs his body servant to swing his
hammock beneath the branches Of mass
i've tree standing ut the entrance to the
mine, which was n well grown sapling
when the first don of the family discovered
the mine 300 years ago
The poems are then set to wa getting
out the rich silver ore, which they put
into baskets slung upon the backs of the
hurros. 1t is but the work of five or six
hours to get out ore that will be worth
several thousands of dollars The ore is
free milling ore, and it is no trouble to
work it. While tie ore is being taken out
of the mine and put into the baskets, the
don is lying in his hammock lcisurcly
smoking cigarettes When the baskets
are full, the don manages to pull himself
together long enough to lock up the mine
and seal the entrances, and the cavalcadc
then starts back and goes straight to
Chihuahua, II miles away. As soon as
they arrive there the don sells the contents
of the baskets, for which he receives from
81, 900 to $4,000 in cash in Mexican
money. He gives his poems a liberal tip
besides their mcager wages, which they
divide, like the conscientious poems they
are between the church and the pulQuc
merchant and reserve mOdicum to keep
themselves and their families partly cloth
ed and fed until the don holds the next Of
his grand rallies which occur four OF
five times year. The don owns II mag
niliccnt hacienda, has lovely wife and
two beautiful daughters, who have all the
pride Of the true Castilians. The hacienda
contains over 5000 acres and is on one Of
the principal highways leading out of
chihuahua, upon which, like most of the
landowners of the country, he pays little
or no massachusetts City Journal.

The So Called Pepper Tree.

For many years in the garden of the Gu
rious "A plant was frequently grown called
Schinus mollc Its chief interest to the
public mind was the fact that when the
leaflets were broken in little pieces and
placed on the surface of vessel of water
they would dart and shoot like living crca-
lures in every direction This was believed
to be caused by the propulsion of gas
from the veins and mid ribs. This tree
has now been introduced into California
for the purpose of shade and is widely
known as the pepper tree. II eXudes IL
Eummy matter from the foliage which is
Iaid to cover the tops of carriages driving
Under it with spots. The gum forms a
good dentifrice, and it is said that IA lotion
made from the bark is good for reducing
innammations. 1t was supposed to be a
tree that would be distastefui to all in
sects but the California papers tell us
that in that country it is subject to the
ravagcs of "A scale insect, and this is about
the only defect to its general use as first
class shade tree. -Meohan's Monthly.

A COMMERCIAL HERO.


mcnt That He Formerly Owned.
"Thcrc are some heroes besides those who
faced guns and Chicago has some strange,
unwrittcn stories, was the way retro
spective man about town expressed it. We
were out for Il morning walk and had
stopped in front of II great storehouse.
Il want you to 90 into this house with
me, " he continued, and we turned in. An
elderly man opened the door for us and
closed it. There was Il something in his
manner and face that attracted attention.
He was IA type of that school of statelincss
of which you have heard, but whose pu-
pills, it must be admitted, are becoming
fewer every day. This is not written from
any pessimstic point of view. There was
nothing in the elderly mans manner to
indicate that the whirligig of time had
played any pranks with him. His face
was full of content, and his voice was
CHEEKY enough to warm the cookies of the
heart.
Al one time, SO the story runs, he was
the president of this company. He was its
founder He gave it the scndotf which
had made it conspicuous in the commercial
world. Business rcvcrses, in spite of his
ability, crippled him, and he lost, not
metaphorically but literally, every dollar
he had He passed out of the concern. He
applied for the place of doorkceper of the
house he founded, and it was given him,
and there he stands every business day
during the business hours opening the
door to all corners as graciously as he used
to preside in the Office. No one has the
key to the side door of this mans thoughts,
but to all corners he faces his misfortune
with philosophy which prompts one to
lift ones hat to it.
The present manager of the house is a
young man who was employed in the con
Germ as I'M Office boy by the elderly gentle
man now at the door. And the young
manager always lifts his hat to his former
master rs he enters and leaves. An equi-
page that is noticeable brings the young
manager to the door every morning and
calls for him in the afternoon. The former
head Of the concern takes a cable car

OLD SOL KNOCKED OUT.
Photographs May BE Taken and Printed
without the Aid of the sun.

Photographs May BE Taken and Printed
without the Aid of the sun.
Old Sol has long been unnecessary in
the taking of photographs,
Up to the present time, however, he has
probably exultcd in thinking that his un-
certain services must be had to print the
photograph.
But again the old chap has been given
the go by, and he is not now necessity
at any stage of the game. He may sulk
and hide his face or pop out from Lchlnd
the clouds momcntarily as much as he
pleascs, but with photographers he no
longer cuts any ice.
Electricity has scored a victory over the
old chap, and it is practically Knockout
in this particular line.
Before pictures have been taken in the
daytime by the aid of electric light and ut
night by flashight, but to get proof
printed one had to wait until the next
afternoon anyway, and sometimes longer
all according to Old SOILS humCr.
Now one can 90 to the photographer
providing that gentleman has the proper
apparatus-at any time, even midnight,
and sit for his photograph. Not only that,
if he is willing to wait half an hour, he
may receive nice soft print from the neg
ative.
The apparatus consisted of an ordinary
camera, 4, 800 candle power arc light for
the taking and 5000 candle power arc
light for the printing.
/ Instead OF sitting in the open room, the
subject sits in n sort of canopy the sides
and top being white, and the back the or
binary background.
Instead of having the light shine direct
ly on the subject, it shines away and is
softly reflected back from the white sides
Watches were held for the test, and Il six
second exposure was made. The plate was
then developed and quickly dried, coming
out good and clear 1t was then taken TO
the printing room, and after 10 minutes
under the influence of the powerful arc
light the paper and negative were taken
from the box. The print vas remarkably
soft, clear and accurate,
All the time taken from the snap of the
camera until the print was finished was
81 minutes, and ordinary materials only
We're used.

TO OVERRIDE PuI.LN An.

The statement which COMES from Chi
cago that a coterie of Pullman stock
holders and the resident directors OF the
Pullman company are making a move
ment to override Sir George" and to
bring an influence to bear to compel him
to yield to the demand for arbitration,
will il true, prove gratifying 10 all the
people everywhere. whether they approve
the railroad boycott or not. Everybody
condemns Pullmans course throughout
the struggle. His seltishness has been
the cause Of the trouble. In saying this,
We do not admit that the A. X. L. had
any right to attempt To- tie up the husi-
ness of the country in order 10 get at
Pullman, but we do say that Mr. Pull.
man ought to have submitted to abirtra.
tion in the first place and that he ought
to do 1t now. We do not consider that
the railroads have ANYTHING to arbitrate.
as there is no declared grievance against
them; "a sympathetic" strike or boy
colt cannot be arbitrated The whole
community ought not to be punished for
the sins OF Pullman-but this is not say
ing that Pullman ought not to be pun
ished. The Tribune sincerely trusts
that his own stockholders will compel
him to come down from his high horse.
