Many We're employed by Noah in the build

they had regard 10 his direction in the work
assigned them. They felt the force of his ex-
ceptional character as he superintended their
labor, and also preached to them OF duty and
of danger
1t is easy to believe he selected those not in
the fullest sympathy with the corruption and
violence OF the times. Possibly their smplo,
ment gave them some measure Of welcome

words of warning doubtless awakened clear
convictions OF responsibility and interest. but
they failed to heed his teachings yielded to
the multitude Of evil doors, and when the
door was shut they were without and not

and eloquent tales Of sudden riches that
comos from those diggings are to be believed.
He started out as carpenter at Cripple
Creek few years ago. and he was the first
man to discover gold in that vicinity. a
sample of this lucky miners generosity is
furnished by the story Of his treatment of the
widow Of one Of his men who died recently.
They say that Mr.. Stratton called his coach

sorrowing widow: pardon my intrusion at

undertaker's bill to me, and he handed her

How Hoof Beats Are Initiated.

In these days Of war plays and stage
realism tho sound of hoof beats Is worked
into pretty nearly every melodrama Very
few people know how tho effect is pro-
duced, and very few, too, could make the
noise right even il they had tho apparatus.
1t takes quite lot of practice TO bc good
"horsc,' rs it is called. The necessary
outfit consists " q table, on which is q
long marble slab covered with rul.bcr
graduated from an iuchthiok down TO the
thinness of piece of paper. The opera
tor has strapped TO each hand half cocoa
nut shell, on tho edge of which Is fastened
horseshoe. He starts in pounding them
on tho thick rubber, To initiate hoof heats
in the distance, and gradually works along
to the thin part as they arc supposed TO
come nearer, and finally ends up with a
clatter on the barc stone rs the horse Is
pulled up just outside the scene.

TO OFERCONJ; GHOST SPiCES."
when the sound stsamer Puritan went
ashore recently we called attention TO
TIE !eet that tho fog signals that her
COMMANDER did net hear were undoubt-
edly sounded, but owing to the demon
by cir currents the signals failed TO reach
the listening ears OF tho PuritRn's officeN.
The fact is that fog horns sound that
may he heard close in shore and again sew
eral miles away IL often absent in circles
between the shore and a distant point
50 that mariners often find themselves
among the reefs before their ears catch
the signal, and controversy then arises.
Under such circumstances the sailor will
claim that the fog horn was not sound
ed, while the signal station master will
protest that the sailor didn't have his
ears open. As matter of fact the sig
nal is only heard in spots, and while this
has been scientifically explained on the
theory that currents of air carry the
sound over the ships head and beyond
reach of her skipper's ears and, so 10
speak, deposit it at remote point, such
ecconricity is beyond the control OF
science and there has been no help for it.
Now, it appears, Baltimore inventor
has becn at work on something to make
up for this queer difficulty and that he
hopes may be depended upon to ensure a
warning to nsyigators in a fog He has
built what he calls an eophone. The dc
vice mas not yet demonstrated its
efficiency, but ii offers hope that il can
overcome the dangerous uncertainties
of the fog horn signal. The inventor has
been at work on the eophone for a
quarter OF century, for the need OF some
means by which the navigator in fog
can determine Just where the fog sig
nails, for which he listens so anxiously,
lie, and just how to steer to take advan.
tantage OF their warning, is as old as fog
signals themselves. The eophone is a
device that concentrates and intensities
sound, so that ii can be heard at a greater
distance than with the naked ear, and its
source located more quickly and moro
exactly. 1t gathers sounds into sort of
funnel and brings 1t directly to the ears.
II it is what the inventor claims it to
be, il viii save not only vast amount Of
valuable time to steamers and sailing
ships, but much property and many lives
as well. The officers OF a steamer ap-
preaching port in fog, If equipped with
the eophone, it is expected will be able to
bear the fog signal, determine their ex-
act bearings and come boldly on, sure OF
being in the channel instead OF being
lost in "ghost spaces, the areas which
the sound from the fog horn skips in its
travel through the air.

Senator Miller has introduced bill
to loan the permanent school funds
of the state to individuals upon real
estate security. That is one good
stroke in the interest of the farmers
of Minnesota, and Senator Miller is
entitled to much credit even if the
bill does not become law. We be-
lieve, however, that it will pass. OF
course bankers and private money
loaners will oppose the bill, but it is
hardly presumable that they can
muster opposition enough to defeat it.
The voters of this district made no
mistake when they elected Bert Miller
to represent them at st. Paul. He is
alive to their interests. Senator Mil
Ter has also introduced bill for the
destruction of the Russian thistle;
and Hon. Dan. Shell has introduced
a similar bill in the House.

Jens K. Grondahl of Red Wing,
representative from that district, has
returned all passes sent him by the
railroad companies. That calls to
mind little incident that happened
eight years ago. A gentleman from
up the road a short distance, was
elected to the House, and about the
first thing he did was to return all
passes sent him, informing the
companies that he wasn't for sale.
He managed to get this into the
newspapers Of his district SO the peo-
pie would know what an honest fell
low they had at st. Paul to look after
their interests. His constituents
thought so we'll of him that they re-
turned him two years later. Two

fellow his colleagues sguyed' him
and he felt sore, particularly at him
self. He straightway went to the
headquarters Of the various compan-

passes to him, and all his relatives
and friends. One of two things is
certain; either the gentleman CON
cluded that man can be honest and

to the number Of almost 200, for the pur-
pose of forming permanent state league,
were in session all day at Century Hall,
and succeeded in drafting and adopting .
constitution and electing officers, 81.
The first business was the appointment
of committee to draft constitution,
after which adjournment was taken.
At the opening Of the afternoon session
the committee on constitution presented
its report in full, which was acted upon
section by section. The first section max.
ing the name The Peoples Party Stats
League" was adopted after some discus
sion, the understanding being that the
old organization should merge into the
new one. y8sl
J.. M. Bowler was elected president,
Swan Nelson vice president, and L NJ

Resolutions wero passed to the effect
that the present senatorial contest was
not Populist affair; that the league was
opposed to any Republican because they
all represented the money power, and that
the Populist members Of the Legislature
should put up some good Peoples party

A dispatch from Washington says
Congressman Tawney was surround
cd by a group of members on his re-
turn here, all being anxious to hear
the latest from the Minnesota sena-
torial contest. Among the older re-
publican members who served in con-
gress when Gov. Nelson was here, his
candidacy is not at all popular. In
fact, men like Tom Reed, Cannon, of
Illinois. and Haugen, of Wisconsin,
are very free to admit that Nelson
made trouble on the republican side
by affiliating with the champions Of
the Mills bill. Asked to give his
opinion of the strength of the can,
