HIS Ancestors were raiIors.

A young professional man who hrs
habit of swinging around in his chair
and curling his feet up like tailor
was told that he must have come from
a family Of tailors. That's just what
I did," he quickly replied, somewhat
TO the surprise of his interrogator.
"On my fathers side my grandfather
was a tailor, as were two of his broth
ers, one an importer in New York.
Two of his sons, who were, of course,
my uncles, were also tailors. Then, on
my mothers side, my great-grand-
father and my grandfather were tailors
and three of my mothers brothers
were tailors. They have children who
are merchant tailors, two of my cous-
ms being In the tailoring business In
nlinois." q

 Last week R II. Cameron Of Flag staG. received assay futufns from some Orc sent to Denver It was from the Last Chance mine in the Grand Canon. The assays were from six samples and ranged in value from 800 to Sls6 per ton. The returns show fair percen: : age in silver and gold The greatest value of the ore is in copper, ranging from 5O 10 Si per cent of that metal.
 A petition has been circulated In the northern part of the territory ask lng congress to exempt the mineral lands within the boundaries of the urnnd Canon forest reserve from Inc provisions of the reservation so that they may be worked.

among travellers for the beauty Of its
women. They are graceful as young
deer, with velvet skin and eyes that
could give brilliancy to the stars. One
of the regal beauties of Caracas is
Sonora Mercedes Tovar de Painting.
She is tall, of queenly bearing and eyes
and hair of Il shade of blackness that is
said by returned travellers to make the
ravens plumage yellow by comparison.
The Sonora Mercedes, like all wealthy
Venezuelan women, is highly educated
and further polished by travel. 1t is the
practice of the South American fami-
lies to send their children To Europe or
Spain for educational training. or i'm
