sULLIVAN's SEC RET.
How He Could Tell whether It Was q
Boy or Girl

How He Could Tell whether It Was q
Boy or a Girl.
When John L. Sullivan was in Wash
ington less than year ago he amused
a crowd of listeners who happened to
be of a variety intellectually superior to
the average crowd Of hangers-on
who worship the great mans memory
for what he was, with an exhibition Of
attachments in which, according to
Johns ideas, brain instead Of Drawn
and fistic prowess plays the better
part, says Washington Post. He told
the age Of any man In the crowd
who was learned enough to add, sub
tract and divide a series Of compound
figures, which John furnished, and nine
times out Of ten hit the mark. But one
feat which he performed, and in which
he believed with the fervor Of an idola-
tor, goes into the marvellous. 1t involved
the telling whether the first born Of a
given couple was a boy or a girl. The
way that this feat was accomplished
was a profound secret with the pugilist,
but in a burst of confidence he disclosed
the method to the writer. To solve the
problem the only necessary data are
the full maiden name of the mother and
the full name Of the father According
to Mr.. Sullivan's formula, If, after
counting the letters in both names, the
sum is an even one, the first-born ia
a boy, II odd the issue Of the union is
a girl. For example, all the letters in
Mary Jane Brown and Hiram Smith
form a total Of twenty-three, an odd
number. Result, girl. If this formula
is reliable 1t will serve forecasting pur-
poses as well as the establishment Of
post-facto results; but no editorial
guaranty goes with the prescription.

toes and 300 varieties Of butterflies.

No Cure for inc QHarIz Craze,

"A man may recover from q
 crazy desire for gambling or give mp
 whiskey after he has been it's
 slave" said a Coloradoan to
 writer for the Washington Star, "but
 when he goes quartz crazy there is
 no further hope for him unless he
 strikes a bonanza. Then his in
 sanity will be none the less intense,
 but 1t will not be so pronounced
 because he will have the means to pursue his passion without under going discomfort or creating remark.
 What do mean by quartz crazy2
 Well, it's evident you have never
 been in the western country. Out where the mountains are piled on top of each other those qualities abound. A man who is squartz crazy is an individual who catches the mining fever and becomes convinced that his mission on earth is tc find the greatest mine ever discovered In pursuit of his quest he suffers hardships and overcomes more obstacles than did all the knighta who ever searched for the Holy Grail. He will leave home. family. friends and comfort, and all alone, with meagre supply of provisions and a few tools, he will plunge in to unknown wildernesses, and when he finds q place that holds out a prospect, he will burrow in the treacherous mountain side like a rabbit and dig from daylight till dark, anticipating with every stroke of his pick to uncover his fortune. Nearly every prOspector in the west, or in the rest of the world for that matter, is afflicted with the malady 1 have described. Some of them keep up their ceaseless search with every recurring season and sometimes strike a good thing. In such cases somebody else, the partyAwho has the money to develop the find, reaps the profits"

''FOrgerv and Fraud"

From an article of two and half
 columns in the Globe Democrat
 which gives a history of the various
 features of the fraud and exposes
 the crime in all it's hideousness, we
 clip the following excerpt from U :. s. Attorney in the Court of Probate
 Land Claims to Attorney General Olney, and which indicates with
 out going into the details what has
 been discovered by the investiga-
 tion of the Land Court:
 The Peralta claims has run its course. Forgery, perjury and subordination of perjury have been committed in almost every form,' says the attorney of the Court of Private Land Claims, MT. Matt G. Reynolds, in letter to Attorney General Olney. This claim has been hanging over the best part of Arizona for twenty-five years. It has clouded titles and forced inves- tors and residents to pay large sums for releases. It has delayed settle ment and development. And now the end of it has come. The case Is set for trial in the Private Land Claims Court in June. Mr. Rev. holds says he is prepared not only to defeat the right of the present claimants to the alleged grant and to go even farther and challenge the existence of any such grant to the alleged Baron Peralta. In other words, the Government in vestigation, just concluded by MT. Reynolds, discloses that thls claim to property, valued at s75,OOO,OOO, and rapidly growing in value, rests upon nothing but stupendous foundation of fraud. MT. Reynolds believes that the Government will be able to do more than this; he has collected the evidence which will show the parties responsible for the manufacture of the bogus title and of the false testimony and records"

 That work is worthy always when it is well done.
 That the value of money is just the good it will do in life, but that she ought to know and appreciate this value.
 That the man who wishes to marry her is tho one who tells her so and is willing to work for her, and not the one who whispers silly love speeches and forgets that men cease to he men when they have no object in life.
 That her best confident IS always her mother, and that no one sym pathizes with her n her pleasures and ioy9 as vou dc.
