A ReaI nex,i.

A beast more ferocious, more fiendish,
or one more likely to be tanned than the
Tasnanian "devil" is not to be found.
''Devil' is the terse and appropriate
name by which it is known In It's habitat.
The "devil' is about the size Of large
bulldog. Its head is one-third the length
Of its body, and is fat, broad and hid
eous. Its feet resemble those OF the
badger, with big claws, while its tail
sticks out stiffiy. Its coat looks like wool
rubbed the wrong way, and the general
appearance OF the beast 10 OF kind that
makes avoidance appear the wisest
policy.
The creature becomes veritsble fiend
when disturbed ever 80 slightly. He at
lacks everything before him. dead or
living, and in his mad rage flies at mas
tiff or a door with equal ferocity. He al
ways fights to finish, knowing neither
truce nor quarter. So long as there 10
shred Of flesh to tear or bone to shatter,
he elings to his foe, and, unmindful Of
the injury he may receive, he plies his
powerful jaws until his strength fails.
A "deviP' that was captured when
quite young and kept solely as curiosi-
ty never changed bit when in cap
tivity. He was surly and ferocious
throughout, and ultimately killed him
self in mad struggle with the bars Of
his cage. He has been known to rush at
solid stone wall in a paroxyism Of fury,
altering growls and barks, and beating
the air the while.

added 10000, 900 pulled wool, making .
total Of 272.474, 70s pounds wool. Fleece
wool will show shrinkage Of co., per

Cost ora mine.

There are no hard and fast rules 10 re-
gard to making mine from the time It
passed into the prospectors hands until
1t becomes dividend payer, says the
Spokane Spokesman Rerie,U. Many mines
are such, as the miners say, "from the
grass roots" and turn out large quanti-
ties Of ore from the beginning.
J. b. Haggin, the millionaire mine
owner, took $3,0O0.000 from the Custer
mine, in Lemhi county, Idaho, before it
became necessary to use candle. This
mine was known as the Mineral noun
tain. A man came along one day, and,
after looking at it, remarked: "Why,
the hanging wall lie gone" This was
true. Nature had assisted the miner in
this case; the mountain side had been
eroded, leaving the mineral standing
there. Mr.. Haggin also spent So ,000, 900
in developing the Anaconda mine befose
it was on paying basis.
Mines have been disc overed containing
fabulous wealth, although q prospector
would starve to death in trying to work
them. This was true in regard to the
Homestake mine, in the Black hills. The
prospectors who made thediscovery could
do nothing with it. and it passed into the
hands Of Senator Hearst and other Cali
fornia capitalists. They concluded that
unless it was worked on large scale it
could not be made profitable. An eighty
stamp mill was ordered and shipped in
from Cheyenne at cost Of $4,000 ~
an experiment. The mine has paid in
dividends s37 800 month for seventeen
years.

your depressed state, your discouraged

to survive, you still have the other,

where to get your money to pay your taxes

Kinley infamy and the demonstration
OF silver has gone along the increase OF
mortgages and the decrease OF price for
your wheat and corn. Truly as the late
speaker of the house has said, Mr.. Carl

cutting down your silver money and
hacking at it after it was down was the
monumental crime OF ages. There should
be no rest, no peace, no sleep until we

and demand its unlimited coinage at the
fixed, secured and tried ratio Of l6 to l

especially don't like the course, let them
as Patrick Henry said, make the most OF
it. We are running our own business

Mrs. l. N. N. Stevens. State President OF W
CT. IT,. on Saloon Licenses in Maine.

Dear Union Signal:-Will you kindly
permit me through your columns. to
give my reply made to a statement
which recently appeared in the
Courier Journal of Louisville, KY, to
the effect that in Maine there Were
nine hundred and ninety saloon
licenses taken out last year?
First, let me say. no saloon licenses
are ever given out in Maine, that is
no license to sell intoxicating liquors in
a saloon or in any other place. The
only place in Maine where liquor car
be legally sold is in the town or city
agencies. and then only for medicinal
and mechanical purposes, with heavy
penalties attached if sold for any other
use. There are comparatively few Of
the four hundred towns and cities of
Maine which have seen fit to establish
such places.
Very likely the mine hundred and
ninety saloon licenses has reference to
the payment of the United States rev.
enue tax by those who propose to en-
gage in liquor selling in any form. in.
Guiding the authorized agencies above
mentioned. All druggists who keeo
alcoholic liquors for compromising their
medicines. as well as all those who in
tend to sell liquor in violation of the
prohibitory law. are pretty sure to pro
tect themselves from the fine imposed
by the United states if they do not pay
the United States tax.
Allowing that there are in Maine
nine hundred and ninety who pay this
tax, with intent to sell liquor in viola
ton of state law, and that they do sell.
the number would average less than
three places to each town and city,
which would be a better showing on the
side of temperance than we find out
side of prohibitory states.
But again, many VINO pay the United
