pice I was confronted by fat rock five
minutes climb farther down. 1t seemed
to be set in the face Of the crater and to
iut out, cutting off farther progress in
that direction. The rock was Of Pc
culiar reddish yellow color and, on look
ing more intently, it seemed to take
upon itself the shape of a monstrous
hand. 1t flashed over me all at once
this was the golden hand of the Indian
legend. I called to Tom, but he was far
below me. "Tom, the rock!" I cried
hoarse1y, and my own voice sounded
strangely in my ears. But Tom had al
ready reached it. Suddenly scream of
anguish shall never forget rose in that
awful Stiffness, and in another instant I
saw that ponderous hand of golden stone
sink lower, still lower. Another scream,
wilder than before, and Toms form
could be seen striving vainly to clutch
with his hands the smooth surface as it
sank downward with increasing rapid
ity. shut my eyes and listened. The
sight was too awful to bear. When I
opened them, the rock that had turned
on pivot with poor Tom s weight was
upright and was moving back to its
original place. Of that frightful fall in
to the crater I never dared to think. Old
Zapetl and had weary days of toll in
our return to the plantation, and my life
was nearly forfeited by fever in which
I could hear Tom s last despairing shrek
and see him sliding to his awful death.

The Ottoman Empire.

In the beginning of the thirteenth CEN
fury the annual revenue Of the Byzantine
empire amounted to 9130, O00,0 Yet
at that time not only was the eastern
empire greatly impoverished by the
ravages of the crusades, but the chief
part of Asia Minor, with its fiourishing
cities, had been wrested from her by the
arms of Islam. Today the revenue of the
Ottoman empire is less than e1S,00O,-
900. The silence of desolatiOn now
broods over vast regions which were once
thickly peopled. we'll cultivated, abound
ing in fourishing cities and rejoicing in
an advanced civilization. Territories
which formerly supported the capitals of
ancient ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Sardis,
Cyzicus, Prusium, Troy, Nicomedia and
many more-have been reduced under
Islam to cherries solitudes, broken at
intervals by Kurds or wandering Turko-
mans.
According to Ubicini, who spent 20
years in the civil administration Of the
porte and wrote in defense Of Turkey 40
years ago, the annual produce Of corn in
Asia Minor was then estimated at 49,
OOO,O Turkish kiles, which, he thinks,
might easily be increased tenfold eff the
great productiveness of the soil were
turned to account "The same re-
mark" he adds, "applies to all other
productions which serve for local con-
sumption or for expectation. But in
stead of increasing during the last 40
years there has been an accelerated de-
crease. The decay Of every kind of man
ufacture has kept pace with the decline
of agriculture. Diarbekir and Broussa,.
once so famous for their velvets, satins
and silk stuffs, have been ruined. So
have Aleppo and Bagdad. Turkey
abounds also in mineral wealth. 1t pos
sesses copper mines which yield 80 per
cent Of ore, while the best British mines
yield only about 10 per cent. And there
is coal in abundance within easy access.

The wisest of my scholars is a gentle little

She has an answer ready, with deal of logic

And solves ali knotty questions and problems

asked the little class

But the wisest little scholar couldn't let a
question pass.
eff you please, SIR said she joyously-wlth
pride her cheeks were burning
To think that she could answer when the
others couldn It do it

And you're awful tired of it, and you're so
glad to get tn 90 it. :"

never before this has her memory been

THE GOLDEN HAND.

The gold is there, that's certain, and
I'm determined to make trial for it. -
"You're counting too much Oh the
word of an Indian. Old Zapetl lisa noted
liar-like all these Spanish speaking
aborigines "
"Ah, Jack. You do him injustice.
He's deeper liar than you gave him
credit for. Don It you remember that he
told US of the legend in his tribe that
there was a treasure hidden by the an
Gent keeper Of the mint on the first
news of the coming of the Spaniards to
Central America? Oh, yes. You re-
member that Of course. But don't you
remember that he afterWard trotted cut
that ridiculous yarn about the mysteri-
Gus golden hand that guarded the hid
ing place and struck down the venture
some seeker for the wealth? It's ridicu-
lous to believe that the ancients had
enough mechanical knowledge to con-
trive a machine that could prevent one
from getting at the gold. Ten to one its
out of order anyway. Old Zapetl simply
invented the wives tale Of the golden
hand because he didn't want to go on
the trip that might mean death Or pri
walton. I'm resolved to go if have to
start without you"
This was long speech for my old
comrade, Tom French. We were in the
interior of Central America when the
foregoing conversation took place. It
was the end Of many long debate we
had had on the subject of a search for a
treasure. From love Of adventure had
left comfortable home in the states.
Tom French and had met as rustlers
on the cattle ranch in Montana and we
became firm friends. When the dearth
struck the cattle ranch business, we
took herd across the country south Of
Texas, where they could feed on the
deep alfalfa. Then we drifted into Mex
leo and into the employ of a railroad
company in the capacity of surveyors.
For want of capital the company sus-
pended operations, and Tom and I found
ourselves stranded in the City Of Mex
leo. We had saved some money, and
when there came a proposition to join
some pioneers who thought they saw a
fortune in building up coffee planta-
ton in the unexplored lands far to the
south in the state Of Chiapas we accept
ed the offer.
Life was pleasant in Mexico, though,
and would have willingly remained,
but Tom was eager, as always, to grasp
the first opportunity that seemed to pre-
sent itself for new adventures Tom had
but one object in life-to make for
tune quickly. Poor fellow, he had
heavy heart most of the time. He was
in love, in love with heartless coQuette,
so far as could learn, and had been re-
jected. She could never have been worthy
of him, yet he blindly believed that the
girl would marry him if he could lay
fortune at her feet AS remember his
buoyancy and courage in the face of oh
stacles that would have discouraged 9TH

eyes but this is anticipating my story.

SATURDAY SALAD.

One of the most charming social events
of the year occurred at st. Vincent SAM.
tarium on Thursday afternoon when the
guests of that popular institution enter
tanned some eighty or more callers at a
"pink tea"-and chocolate. Miss Helen
Drew drew the former and made lovely
picture of beauty, and with character.
istic grace Mrs. e. A. Carver presided
over the chocolate table. A bevy of
lovely women were on hand to make it
interesting for the scores of gentlemen
who "just dropped in" between the
hours of and 6 to pay their respects.
The guests we're received by Mrs. Carl
Ernst, of st. Louis, and Mrs. Schaaf, of
Peoria, ILL.,, assisted by Mesdames j. L.
Bulls, Margaret j. Church and j. D.
Hughes. Pink was the predominant
color, of course. Sister Victoria was not
visible, but her splendid hsndiwork and
genuine hospitality we're everywhere in
evidence. The members of the U. 8.
court of private land claims attended in
a body. Music was furnished by Baine's
mandolin orchestra. All who we're pres.
emit declare the occasion one of rare So
cial enjoyment.
The Fifteen club met at the home OF
Mrs. Sherrard Coleman on Thursday after
noon. All the members responded at
roll call with suitable quotations from
celebrated authors OF the 18th century.
Mrs. George Marsh then read paper on
"The Religious and Moral Atmos phere
from the Revolution in England to the
Reign of George VI" This was followed
by discussion of the subject of the paper
in which all the members partici pated.
Criticisms closed very pleasant and
profitable afternoon.

SOUTH SANTA FE MINES.
Bob Carley's Great Gold strike at
Golden Causing Much Excitement
-FabulOusly Rich Quartz
Other Mines.

Messrs. MCGEE, Weir and Fleming, of
Chicago, arrived last Saturday night,
since which time they have been looking
over mining properties with probable
view of investing. Mr.. MCGEE is the in
ventor of the MCGEE system of reducing
ores, and it is likely mill will be erected
in this vicinity.
The Ortiz mine at Dolores has been
obliged to close down on account of
water at the bottom of the shaft, which
comes in too fast to permit further sink
ing until pump and steam holster can
be put in place. The water question has
always been a serious problem with this
company, but with considerable vol
ume of water in the shaft it would seem
the matter had been brought to a favora-
BILE settlement.
What is known as the "Bob Carley
strike" near Golden is attracting wide
spread attention, and, contrary to the
usual rule, the nearer one approaches it
the more he hears of it. From all &C.
counts a small streak of fabulously rich
ore has been uncovered, which, when
pounded up, yields as high as SIS to the
pan. Considerable work has been done
on the lead, and so far it fully holds up
to its first promises, but of course no one
can tell what it will develop into as work
advances.
Intelligent work has made the G. & G.
mine at San Pedro one of the best prop
critics in that camp, and one which will
compare favorably with any in Colorado
or elsewhere. tunnel has been driven
several hundred feet in the mine inter
secting shaft seventy.ive feet deep.
The shaft is thoroughly timbered in the
most substantial manner and will be sunk
200 or $50 feet further atonce. The
mine shows up we'll in fine fuxing ore
carrying good values and there is no
doubt that under the efficient superin-
tendency of Mr.. j. T. Mclaughlin the
G. & G. will develop within a very short
time into big paying property.--Cer-
rillos Rustler.

charming part of our climatic attrac-
tions.
Mr.. @. E. Edwards, special correspond
emit of the New York Herald, accom- panied
by his handsome and talented wife, drop
ped into town last evening and are domi-
ciled at the Claire hotel. They travel in
an up-to-date overland outfit and are en-
route from Denver to the City of Mexico,
going over the route which Baron Won
Humboldt said could be easily traversed
in carriage. Mr.. Edwards hopes the
trail between Santa Fe and the Mexican
capital is somewhat smoother that that
between Denver and Santa Fe via Las
Vegas. These interesting people will re-
main hereabouts for ten days or more,
doing all the historic sights in this To-
cality before departing for the south.
In the Mora county, Doherty and Rael

Harry Kinsel is up from Cerrillos to-
day. This is Mr.. Kinsell's first visit to
the county seat since his election as sher-
if, and it goes without saying that he is
being generally congratulated over his
success by all classes of people without
regard to race, color or previous condi-
tion of servitude, for no man will deny
that Harry Kinsell is christian gentle
man and always "a man among men"
Perhaps it is not generally known, even
TO those who voted for him earliest and |
often, but it is nevertheless fact, that |
Sheriff-elect Kinsell neither uses tobacco |
in any form nor drinks any sort Of liquor.
He said to day that he had not as yet
named his chief deputy.
Fischer & Co. have received fresh |
Plow's candies. They will receive
fresh shipments every week.

COUNTY DEMOCRATS.
They Meet in Convention and
Have a Long Fight on
Auditor.

The Democrats OF Morrison county
assembled at the court house to
nominate Il county ticket at noon
on Monday. Chairman FOrtier read
the call. Leon Houde, DR.. Fortier,
Chas. Mcmillan and Geo. Geissel
were named for chairman. but all
excepting Houde declinde, and he
was elected by reclamation. Leon
made short speech. in which he
expressed regret for his past error in
opposing the mocratic ticket. He
said the Republicans had promised
him a "portfolio," but that all he
got was wind and gas. The fact
was that Houde fought the DEM
ocratic ticket two years ago for
revenge, but If he had rather have 1t
appear that the horrible Republicans
had brlbed him by promises, he
should have his right to give that
excuse. Houde promised to be in
line this year. Chas. Mcmillan, OF
Motley, was elected secretary.
The usual committees were ap-
pointed, and the temporary organi-
cation made permanent, and the
convention took a recess to
