pay for a dozen designs and await their
time for getting one out.
As soon as the news OF the nomination
is wired over the country the buttons are
turned off by the thousands night and day
and started in boxes on their way 10 the
different cities. Others arc turned off,
and still others. thousands upon thousands
and thousands more. 1t seems as though
there might be enough buttons to supply
the whole country with lapel ornaments,
even If every woman and paby were TO
wear one. and if the country be Enanimous
for one man.
For two weeks after the nomination the
express cars are full OF boxes OF campaign
buttons. and inside a month every shop,
every wire-pulIer is stuffed with the little
button for use at the right time.
Then the manufacture OF the buttons
stops and the campaign button industry
is dull again for four years. But in that
months time enough buttons have been
made 10 bring a very large and profitable
sum into the pockets of the maker.

The saitincss OF the SEA has much
to do with the ocean currents, which
distribute the heat of the tropics over

Thus when rain falls on a certain part
OF the ocean the effort of the heavier
salt water of the ocean to establish an
equilibrium causes a current.

THREE TINES ThREE.
California Woman Who Never Condo

California Woman Who Never Conde-
seended to- Anything Short of Triplets.
In an almost inaccessible mountain
fastness in Mendocino county. Is miles
northeast of Ckiah. is the home of nine
children, all triplets. The mother of
this remarkable family is Mrs. George
Walters. All the children are well and
happy. and the last trio are as healthy
a set of youngsters as can be found
anywhere.
The Walters home is in an out-of-the
way part OF the Mendocino forest dis
trict. Two of the sets of triplets were
by Mrs. Walters first husband. Orville
Orrin Gates. Missourian. Three years
elapsed between the birth of the first
and second triplets, and II years be-
tween the birth of the second and third
sets.
Mrs. Walters maiden name was
Ellen Elaine Emmery. She was born
in Quebec about 1855. She met her
first husband during the Centennial ex-
position at Philadelphia. After their
marriage they moved to Alton. No. 1t
was at Alton IN 1897 the first triplets
were born. They were named Wheeler
Henry. James Rutherford, and Martha
Christine, being two boys and one girl.
The family moved to California in the
fall of 1850, and settled at first in Inyo
county. From there they moved To the
Little Bear valley, San Bernardino
county. There. in October, 1852, the
second trinlets were born. They were
all girls, and were named Matilda Ann.
Rebecca Elizabeth, and Marie Louise.
While out ON prospecting tour, SEEN
ing fortune for his fast-growing
family, Mr.. Oates became lost in the
vast deserts of western Arizona, and
was never again heard from.
The widow then determined TO move
To the upper part of the state with her
six children. They travelled north by
easy stages. and on the way she met Mr..
Walters. lie helped her and her chill
dren along the way. proposed marriage,
and was promptly accepted. They
kept on their iourney north. seeking
for some far-away valley. where they
could set up their home. They found
it in the location already described.
There in June. 1894. the last triplets
were born. They were named Grover
Eldord, Jasper Otis. and Ruth Ellen.
The children of the first two sets of
triplets do not resemble one another at
all, but the last. the babies. look SO
much alike that they cannot be told
apart. The only way to distinguish
them is To dress them differently, and
when put 20 bed they wear different
kinds of night dresses. so that the
mother can tell which is which.-San

which is novel and interesting. 1t oc-
CURED about 100 miles from Fort Walsh.
\ hand of Cree Indians woke up one
snowy morning to find that about one
dozen Of their choicest ponies had been
run of during the night. Pursuit was
soon organized. and within few hours
fresh trail was found in the snow.
After following the trail some 30 miles
it entered a river bottom and headed for
a wooded island in the middle of the
river.
Smoke was seen rising from the
trees, and an opening, which seemed to
bc the mouth of a cave, appeared in plain
view. Presently a single Indian, a
Piegan. showed up in front of the open
inc. lie was N war paint, and there
was q dog at his heels. Pretty soon the
doc scented the Crccs and began growl-
ing and barking. The Piegan looked
up. glanced a moment about him, and
then instantly entered the cave. In
abolt ten seconds another Piegan came
around the rocks and also went in; then
another and another and another, there
being but q few seconds between them.
The Crees lay silently in the bushes
watching and counting, until upward of
~ Pieeans had come around the rocks
and gone into the cave. and still they
kept coming. What seemed remark
able was the fact that all these Indians
we're. to all appearances, exactly the
same size. were dressed and painted
alike. each carried a Winchester rifle,
and. most remarkable of all, each one
seemed a little lame in the left foot,
lhmpirg slightly.
They were a Gaudy crowd. and the
Crccy counted 40 of them. The super
stitious Crccs naturally concluded that
the evil spirit had something to do with
IL. tor there was no doubt that there
were ~ Piegan Indians on the island,
who were exactly alike.
$50 thoroughly were they filed with
the idea that the devil was mixed up
with the mystery that even when the
rernforccments arrived. which was in a
few hours. they were reluctant to attack
tine island. That night one Cree. less
siIpcrstitious than the rest, crossed
over the ice to investigate. On approach
ing the supposed cave he was surprised
to find it was no cave at all. but simply
an opening leading some ten feet into
the rock. where il made turn and came
out OF the other side. Ii required but
anIance to understand what had seemed
SO mysterious before. There was but
the remnant of single camp fire the
ponies were gone, and not an Indian

of GO other warriors was sharp trick

AN IDEAL MATE.
Clever Description OF the National hus-
band Of America.


There Is a theory that the patient,
unexacting financial agent who is sup
posed TO typify the genus husband in
America-who, like charity, suffereth
long and is kind, thinleth no evil, and
giveth all his goods-is woman's ideal
of a mate. but this is a slander. The
dun submission of the overladen ass is
rot the quality which ordinarily eN-
cites feminine respect.

social car. laying the goad upon the
rcwed shoulders of the humble, over
worked married slave who draws her
chariot. Is purely a tigment, evolved

In reality the American husband Is
the most exacting of his kind. He de-
mands gayety, physical and mental
charm. n high cultivation of all her
powers. and an infinity of careful per-
formed duties from his wife.
If the American woman is brilliant
and ornamental it is because the Amer
lean husband viii put up with nothing
less. In older civilizations woman finds
in married life all the conditions pre-
pared for her; rules made which she
has only TO obey; careful code OF
INGREDIENTS which she has only to fol
