TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.
Merchants Will Form Local Protective
Association.


A meeting of the merchants of the
city was held at the Grant house par
lors Tuesday evening for the purpose
of forming local protective association.
The merchants are all enthusiastic over
the formation of such a society, but at
the meeting the attendance was only
nominal.
The object of the association is to
protect the members against dead beats
and similar things. A committee was
appointed to secure full attendance
at a meeting to be held July 80 at the
same place. The organization, how
ever, will not be perfected unless there
is better representation of merchants
present than there were at the last
meeting.

Gold seems to be as uncertain, orlgi- nal, unexpected and persuasive in it's ways as human nature, observes John Habberton, in Golfers Weekly. Mn. eralogists have long been agreed as to the nature of the rocky country in which gold can and cannot be found, yet ex perts among them continue to tramp over the precious stuff without suspect ing it's existence, and recently the entire fraternity of rock sharps has been star tied by rich discoveries in limestone, which has always been regarded as en- tirely unacquainted with gold. The dis covery was made in South Dakota, and while the experts are wondering how to reconstruct their theories the miners are taking out rock which is very rich in gold. This recalls the fact that the Wit watersrand reef in South Africa, the largest known gold deposit in the world, was ignored by expert prospectors for years, the rock being mere conglomer- ate of sandstone and quartz pebbles, the latter showing no "color," the sand hay ing through some one of nature's mys- terious processes robbed the quartz of the precious metal Evidently the ways of gold are warning that science canno afford to put on airs.-Western Mining World

The queerest homestead entry ever re corded was a filing made upon the sum init of Pike's Peak in Colorado, by an old soldier, who actually lived three years upon the mountain. which IS near ly l5 900 feet high and cappe1 by etern- al snow. He is now in Washington, accompanied by several prominent citi- zens of Colorado, for the purpose of prov ing up on his claim, which has met with considerable opposition, as the land in question has been two or three times transferred ha k and forth between the war and interior departments, and also set aside as timber reserve.
 The settler claims the land embracing Pike's peak was transferred by procla nation of President Cleveland from the war to the interior department, shortly after the abandonment of the signal service station on the peak, and thus be came subject to homestead entry. The same view is held by several good land lawyers.
 If this claim is sustained he gets very valuable piece of land, or rather rock,

She Dash1qs Mid6O.

William Shaw, of Big randy, Mont, has appealed to the authorities of Lans- ing. Mich., for assis tance in an affair of the heart, which has already cost him heavily, and has brought no substantial dividends.
 MT. Shaw explains that he answered an advertisement of 'dashing young widow of 26'', who used the columns of a Chicago paper to make her loneliness known. He received a letter from "Septs," and with request tor sos to enable the "dashing young widow" to join him in Montana. The money was forwarded promptly, but the widow that he has asked the Lansing police to in. yestigate and find out just what IS de- tainlng that lonely mourner of 26 who longed to be comforted.
 The police have made certain inquir- ies and have learned that Mir. Shaw's "widow" has for several years been sup porting her husband and several inter. esting children by her literary labors. From letters which they found in the "widow's' room it is apparent that those literary labors extended to all parts of the United States and that Mir. Shaw's contribution of sos was about the aver. age remittance. The "widow" herself is spending a vacation in Canada. And yet it is often asserted that literary work nowadays doesn't pay!-Chicago Times Herald.

Ancient Relies.

Frank Phillips is in possession of several interesting relics which he un- earthed recently in an old Aztec ruin on the Verde river. He was digging in one of the rooms of the ruins and at a depth of nine feet he fund several ollas, some of which contained wheat chaff black ened with age. In one olla was found a perfectly carved quail in mallapai rock and ball of woolen yarn. He has the relics still in his possession and is will ing to take oath that he found tine yarn in the olla. If such is the case then the Aztecs were race of people who were not only intelligent but were familiar with the art of spinning. The relics bear every evidence of antiquity and that they were not placed there in recent years was manifest by the condition of the cement flooring of the room. The cement was four inches through, and then it was comparatively easy work to excavate. Human bones were also found, and one of the ollas unearthed
 was fully three feet in diameter-Gazette.

companies organized to work Yukon mines" There is fine field here for breezy speculations. The Yukon mines cover an immense extent of country, and it will be impossible to prove that a com pany has no mine nor a claim to mine. An opportunity will be held out to men and women who could not go to the mines in person to reap some of the golden harvest while remaining at home. People who would not risk the money for an outfit may be induced to buy a hundred shares or so in some company with high-sounding name at a dollar a share. The promoter who organize these companies and sell their stock have struck mine the value of which is Jim Ited only by circumstances. The stock company system of working mines may be productive of much good if it is con- fined 10 locations of known value and is conducted by men of character and ex perience. It enables men with limited means to share in the profits ot sub- stantial development. The past exper fence of California has been that if the mine proved rich the promoters would freeze the small stockholders out; If the mine did not prove rich, the small stock holders would be ruined to the extent of his ability to stand assessments. It is perhaps pity that'a go SC that laid so many golden eggs has heen killed, but the pity of the thing does not change the fact. There are hundreds of locations in California that might be developed into valuable properties if confidence Tn the stock company of corporation method had not been destroyed.-S Francisco Bulletin.

A special study of hereditary drunken ness has been made by Professor Pell- man, of Bonn university, Germany. His method was to take certain individual cases, a generation or two back. He thus traced the careers of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in all parts of the present German em

Notable among the persons described by Professor Pellman ia Frau Ada Jurke, who was born in TAO, and was drunk ard, thief and a tramp for the last forty years of her life, which ended in 1900 Her descendants numbered 834, of whom 709 were traced in local records from youth to death.

Dies at Forty-fve.
G. w. Reynolds of Los Angeles, CAL,
one of the oldest travelling men in the
United States, is II years of age. Mr..
Reynolds has a ranch, of which he en-
joys telling even more than he does
of the experiences through which he
has passed during his half century up
on the road. The ranch is near San
Diego, Cal. The chief product is
honey. This product is gained from
two apiaries, which Mr.. Reynolds vis-
it's every time his business permits
him to go to Southern California.
'In my apiaries, which are cared for
by my son." said he, there are 140
stand of bees. The honey season lasts
from April to July. This season my
bees yielded 10000 pounds of honey,
which sells in that country in bulk
lots at cents a pound Two of the
hives gave over 500 pounds each. For
ten years / have been interested in
bees in small way, and l take great
er interest in them every year. A hive
or stand of bees issworth $3.50. In it
are the queen, the drones, and the
workers, total population of from
10000 to $4,000 bees.
"This very good-sized colony" he
continued, resides in a hive or wood
en- box. In the hive are dozen
frames 13x7 inches In these the bees
make or deposit the honey founda-
ton of wax having been first placed in
each frame by the beekeeper, so that
the bees may have something to build
upon. The honey is taken out of the
frames every other week during the
honey season. While doing SO there is
little need of protecting the hands.
The bees seem to be most inclined to
sting one in the face. So, as a precau-
ton, the man who is removing the
honey from the hives wears a straw
hat, from the brim of which is hung
a silk veil, like they have to do up in
the KlOndike country to ward Off the
summer mosquitoes.
THE queen is an absolute mon
arch within her dominions. She Is
the undisputed boss of the job. An
ordinary bee lives during the working
season only forty-fve days. Young
ones are being hatched out all the
time. A bee goes to work at the ten
der age of three days, and hustles like
a veteran for forty-two days. Then it
is just naturally all tired out, l sup
pose, for it dies. The queen lives
longer, and when a young queen comes
into existence in the hive she drives
the old queen out. Her loyal subjects
follow her in her Punishment, and that
is what makes the swarm.

The original Thanksgiving Day
was day just as the original Fast

of the other. The first Thanks

harvest was collected the Massa-
chusetts Bay Colonists 'solemnized
a day of Thanksgiving unto the
Lord In 1851 the Governor of
Massachusetts Bay Colony, to cele-
brate the relief of the colony
from approaching famine, pro-
claimed thanksgiving. In 1914
the Governor of New Netherlands
proclaimed thanksgiving for a
victory. The Continental Con,
gress recommended eight thanks
givings during the Revolution.
Washington twice ordered thanks

President proclaimed two. Nov. 26,

about 184I, in G0aey's Laay's Book,
and in 1864 President Lincoln
issued the first regular proclama-
tion for Thanksgiving Day. Be-
fore that time the holiday had
been strictly local-general in
New England and observed in some
other states
The observance of Thanksgiv-
ing day in Passaic is about the
same as in other parts of the land
The war on turkey is vigorously
prosecuted, and family gatherings
are a pleasing feature OF the day.
There is something about these
gatherings that appeal to the
better impulses of all. Hearts
are warmed, spirits are frightened,
and everyone feels thankful for the
opportunity afforded to feast with
those of nearest kin.

Practical Thanksgiving.

The other day I gave up my
seat in car to woman who in
return gave me a look which
seemed to say: What right bad
you to my seat, slr?' Of course,
she did not mean that-she prob
ably did not mean anything; but
that is what | have against her
she did not mean anything. An
other Woman-a mere slip of a
girl-snapped curt "Thanks!' at
me as much as to say she could not
afford to say "Thank you" for such
a trif1e. And | noticed that the
man opposite me who gave up his
seat to tall thin creature with
narrow sleeves and an aversion to
drafts, was rewarded with a plain,
firmlyworded order to close the
window at her back. On the other
hand there was given me yester,
day, in return for a trife courtesy,
a sweet, grateful smile, which sank
into my heart like the maternal
kiss which rewards a little chi1d's
first effort to help his mother, and
throws him in futter of desire to
do thousand other things for her
all at once.
Now and then ladies call at the
RECORD office for information or
business;some of them go out with a
''Thank you" and a smile that
makes one wish to see more of them,
while others carry themselves as
though they owned the earth and
all the men on it, and of such a
second call is not looked forward
to with anything like feelings OF
delight.

consists of two small pneumatic tired
wheels, exactly like very small bicycle
wheels. These are fastened at each
end of the skate. Being much larger
than the ordinary wheels of a roller
skate, they are fitted for outdoor
work, and they will pass readily and
easily over fairly smooth pavements
and at speed many times as fast as
a boy could run When the messen-
ger reaches his destination he can slip
the skates off, put them under his
arm and carry them with him until
he is ready to return. In this respect
the skates are far better than the bicy-
