American gamblers do when they are

the monte table in the great gambling
resort Of Mexico, situated in . suburb
Of the City Of Mexico. There were two
Americans whom l had seen around
the table on several occasions One
was a railroad mah and the other was
the most expert short-card manipula-

small stakes for several days Then
one day the railroad man came in, sat
down and began TO play. The short
card man followed him in about half
an hour and took seat FIVE or six
chairs away. ! saw him take large
silk handkerchief from his pocket and
spread il over his knees In Mexican
monte the dealer allows each player TO
cut the cards when he makesa bet. The
shOrt-card man brought with him
deck of cards exactly similar to those
used in the game Fact is. the backs
of these cards are all alike. When be

Are Nov SmeEted-
Among the greatest mines OF Arizona
was the Tulture. now the property Of
H. 4. v. Tabor. Il IS fifteen miles
southwest Of Wickenburg. whence the
ores were taken By wagons to be milled
On the hank Of the Hassayampa-
The mine produced over ten million
dollars IN gold, and the richest ore was
found OF ire surface Of course, IN the
eariy days nothing save the best was
IniIle5. and In the great waste dumps
around the mine was found the build
ing material f0-.the town OF Eulture.
The mine worked on for score Of
years without varying fortune, the
town maintaining large population
when the pipe line from the Hassayam-
pa was washed away by the food that
followed the breaking Of the Walnut
Grove dam, the one-hundred stamp
nil was closed down and the camp
was deserted
Three years ago 7. Z. Parish secured
a two-yea-s' lease Of the property, fit
ted I'd ten Of the stamps, put IN gas
oline engine, got his water ont Of the
mine and started 70 -'cayoting7 On the
lower levels Near the end OF his lease
he rzn ont OF really good ore.
In this extremity. says the Denver
Republican, he be1hought himself Of
the scores Of tenantless houses Every
one was constructed Of free milling
iron oxide gold ore, and specimens
clipped from the corners assayed an
average Of twenty dollars 70 the ton
The last three months his stamp mill
ran solely upon building material,
much 10 the profit Of its owner.

tleman. 1t used TO be said that a man
who carried cane every day was an
idler. dawdler-wOrthless for all prac-
teal purpOses-
If yOu let me see how q fellow han
dies cane. III tel you whether he is
worthless or not. It's not In the fact
Of carrying a cane, but how 1t Is car
ried. that the significance lies
When a man comes into my Office
with a cane in his hand | watch him
closely. II he sits and twirls it idly
and aimIessly about on his fingers he
Is a worthless idler. But Il he walks
IN. puts It up against the wall and pro
eeeds TO business, there Is something In
him YOu may hope for him If he
holds II firmly while he IS talking TO
ron and does not twirl it about, he's
al right The fellow who plays with
his cane. swings It around. marks fig
ures On the carpet with II, punches the
furniture with the tip, isn't ft for much
else.
Yes. a decent. hard-working. straight
forward fellow can carry cane al the
tine, and they do 50. many Of them.
and the act does not indicate that they
are idlers- But the fellow who goes

, A WALKING PEsTlLENcE.
The Person Who Speaks His or Her Mind
Always and Every where.

Always and Every where.
The man who speaks his mind always
and everywhere little realizes how
thankful many Of his hearers are that
they have not such an uncomfortable,
unhappy. malOdorous mind elamoring
for expression, as is evidenced By the
unkind judgments and uncharitable
words which are usually on the lips Of
this frank person. For have you never
noticed that this quality is rarely
claimed and insisted upon other than
apologetically? The Home Magazine
says:
Have you ever met the man who
prides himself on the fact that he al
ways says Just what he thinks? You
have? Then yOu viii agree with me
that he is a good deal Of walking,
talking pestilence. There is no truer
saying than this, that speech was given
to disguise ones thoughts. The refine
ments Of civilized life melt away before
the man or the woman who says what
he or she thinks MOrtals Of that kind
do not even observe the good old rule
about thinking several times before
speaking. No But, ignoring such
thing as tact, which is the fair offspring
of thoughtful speech, they betray the
fact that they speak what they have no
business to think in way that makeS
every one about them dismally uncom-
Portable and ready 70 vow that the man
who thinks and speaks not is incom-
parzbly preferable to the fellow who
thinks and speaks simultaneously.
Those who work their chins and their
brains spontaneously, those who blurt
out their thoughts, and pride them
selves on 50 doing, may be well-mean-
ing persons, but they are none the less
UNDESIRABLE They grossly abuse the
one gift which lifts them above the
plane Of animsls-the gift Of speech
when they 'say Just what they think. :"
