these five and fifty years without get
ting married, of even thinking of 1t
and Katie, at nineteen, is engaged!
Neighhor Jackson smiled. He
thought, judging from her pronuncia-
ton OF the last word, that Aunt Huldah
Pettibone would have made no con-
temptible actress. And as he mentally
contrasted Katie Fielding's blooming
cheeks and violet eyes with Aunt Hull
dsh's Roman nose and her sallow COM
plexion he didn't at all wonder that the
old lady had lived here five and fifty
years without an eligible offer of mat
rimony.
Young folks will be young folks"
said he, indulgently.
And fools will be FOOLS" sharply
supplemented Aunt Huldah. IT'S moth
ing against this man who is coming
philandering after Katie, but l dare
say he's a poor, miserable, shiftless
fellow, no better than the rest Of 'em.
I'd like TO see the one that could fool
mer
so sholld t. thought. but did not
say. Neighbor Jackson, as he took up
the basket Of peari-white, new-laid
eggs for which he had been waiting,
and departed across the winding
meadow path, while Aunt Huldah, re-
turning diligently to her dish-wash-
ing, pondered with renewed earnest
ness as to the general folly and senti-
mentality Of the present degenerate
ago.
All Of a sudden however, glancing
up. she saw nose fattened against the |
nose belonging to

why, Huldah Pettibone," uttered |
a mildly insInuating voice, have you
forgotten me? Me, Hiram Pearson,
that went to Californy twenty-odd
years ago?"
La sakes alive" said Aunt Huldah.
And here you're back again, like a
Dad penny, eh?"
I'm back agin, sartin," said Mr..
Pearson. About the bad penny bust
less, won't take it upon me to swear.
But / always was a truth-teller, and

La! said Aunt Huldah. And what
vas that?"
Cant you guess it, Huldah?" in
uired Mr.. Pearson, with a look of in
escribable languishment in his little
ray eyes.
Il never was no hand at conun-
runs" said Aunt Huldah, dryly.
Then 1 may as we'll speak it out

Interesting Faet. About Gold.

Gold is so very tenacious that
piece of it drawn into wire one-twen-
tfeth OF an inch in diameter will sus-
tain weight of 500 pounds without
breaking. It's malleability is so great
that a single grain may be divided into
1000 900 parts, and a cubic inch into
1923 ,809,523 parts, each of which may
be distinctly seen by the naked eye.
A grain and a half of gold may be
beaten into leaves of one inch square.
which if intersected by parallel lines
drawn at right angles to each other.
and distant only one-hundredth part of
an inch, will produce 25,000,000 little
squares, each OF which may be dis
tinctly seen without the aid of glass.
The surface of any given quantity of
gold. according to the best authorities,
may be extended by the hammer 310.-
S14 times. The thickness of the metal
thus extended appears to be no more
than the 566,020th part of an inch.
Eight ounces Of this wonderful metal
would gid a silver wire of sufficient
length to extend entirely around the
globe-

TROUBLE PREPARED FOR.
Suspicious of a Contemplated Hold-up
In Wyoming.

In Wyoming.
Rock Springs, Wyo., June 15.-It is
thought that daring robbery is con-
templated and the end of preventing
the success of such an undertaking the
Union Pacific has carried a heavy
armed guard on all its trains of late.
The company became aware that
party thought to be Butch" Cassidy
and his gang had located at Wamsut-
ter evidently bent on mischief to the
Union Pacific or to Superintendent
Gridley of the Sweetwater Coal COM
pany, who comes to Rock Springs on
Saturday to pay off the miners. Since
the robbery of Paymaster Carpenter
in Utah other companies have taken
measures to protect their officials from
a similar fate, and when Cassidy and
his gang located in the quiet little
town of Wamsutter suspicion was
aroused and word sent up and down
the line. Railroad as well as mine of
fcials have taken the initiative and
are prepared for an attack. The Wis
itors at WamSutter may be innocent
of any evil designs, but there pre-
sence there has caused the organiza-
ton of reception committees and in
case of an attack, Cassidy will be
warmly received.

ANENT ANNEXATION.
Draft of Treaty for Annexation of Hawai-
to United States Being Prepared.

to United States Being Prepared
treaty for the annexation of Hawaii Il
the United States is being prepared by
Judge Day, the assistant secretary o.
state, and Mr.. Hatch, the Hawaiian
minister in Washington.
1t will be presented to President Nc
Kinley for approval soon after he re.
turns to the city.
1t does not follow, however, that il
will be Immediately sent to the senate.
On the contrary, the president will ad.
here to his determination not to inn
peril the tariff situation by the intro
duction of any foreign questions.
The proposed new treaty will not
contain any provision for pension tc
the late queen or gift of money tc
the princess, but it will probably be
provided that the princess shall receive
pension out of the territorial reve-
nues.
1t is interesting to know that the
proposition to pension ex-Queen Liliuo-
kalani did not come from the Hawaiian
commissioners, but was suggested by
the then secretary of state, Foster.
A leading member of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations said that
two plans are under consideration by
the administration. One is to annex
the islands and admit into the Union
as the territory of Hawaii. The other
is to make them a county of California.
There is no doubt, it is said, of the
acquiescence in the terms
Of the treaty for the reason that he was
made fully aware of them before he
eft.
The United States will agree to as
'ume the debt of the present Hawaiian
government, but will come into pos
session of all the Hawaiian crown
ands and other possessions.

The Specifications for Furnishing Clothing
Supplies to be Cancelled.


Washington, June 15.-The specifca-
lions for furnishing clothing supplies
TO the entire Indian service have been
finally cancelled and new bids will be
called for by Commissioner of Indian
Affairs Jones, to be opened in New
York ON July IS or II.
The investigation of the way in which
The old specifications were framed, by
which one of the bidders, it is alleged,
would have secured the contract
through useless technical requirements
aas almost been concluded. Collision
IF certain employees has been charged,
and it is possible that several removals

examination made by Commissioner
Jones has been very careful and thor

n tracing the responsibility for the
condition of affairs to several en-
oloyes. The result of the investigation
will be reported in full to Secretary
