His weakness was prevarication. Hil

him to mend his ways. One morning
she said: "Will, see if you can't be per

"Dear, did you keep your promise?
Il did,, he replied soberly.
Then he caught her i'll his arms.

Its symptoms are unusual nervousness,
great lrritability, and incapacity for
physical or mental labor, and it is
caused by errors in diet or hygiene.

RICHES IN TRIPLES.
Some Big Fortunes That Have Come From
Little Inventions.

Some Big Fortunes That Have Come From
Little Inventions.
It has become almost an axiom with
the majority that larger fortunes are to
be raised from some simple invention
than from difficult and expensive inven-
tions that involve great outlay Of
money to manufacture. This Is to a
certain extent true. A certain Ameri
can patent for fastening kid gloves has
yielded fortune of several hundred
thousand dollars for it's fortunate owner,
and the inventor of collar clasp enjoys
$40, 900 royalty year as the reward
for his endeavor. A new kind of sleeve
button has made $50, 900 In five years
for its patentee, and the simple twisting
of safety pins in such a way that there
is no possible danger of the point stick
ing in the child promises to enrich its
owner beyond any of his early dreams
of wealth. A man one day turned q
piece of wire so as to hold cork more
securely in bottle and forthwith some-
body saw brilliant idea and patented
the modern wire stopper holder, which
is now used annually on several million
bottles. The accidental bending of
hairpin by woman to prevent 1t from
sliding out of her hair so easily produc-
ed fortune for her husband, who i'm
mediately saw the possibilities of a
orinkled hairpin for women.
Instances could be multiplied indef-
nitely of large fortunes being made from
cppan inuontinnc h1f fo,sfy1ro+oIr for
those inventors who make life study
of intricate problems of mechanics and
disdain to waste their talents upon
trivial, popular articles Of the day
there IS cfien also ample reward held
in store for the products that take years
to produce and which revolutionize ex-
listing methods of industry and me-
ohanics.
Edison has reaped honors and riches
of princely character from his discov-
cries; Mccormick has realized in his
reaper the fortunes of millionaire the
Corliss engine brought honors and dec
orations to its inventor and enabled
him to amass great fortune in few
years; Professor Bell found in his tele-
phone not only the consummation of his
early hopes and ambitions, but sub
stantial peouniary reward; harveyized
steel armor has become synonymous
with the inventors S name, and it brings
an annual income of huge proportions
to its discoverer; Elias Howe, the in
ventor of the sewing machine, realized

SARCASM BY WHISTLER.
Word Sketch Which Scored a Member OF
the Hogarth Club.

Word Sketch Which Scored a Member OF
the Hogarth Club.
There is in London an institution
called the Hogarth club, the member
ship of which is restricted to artists and
litterateurs. It is something on the lines
of the old Bohemian club, and both
business men and American millionaires
are strictly interdicted. Whistler is a
member, and, Of course, shines by his
witticisms. The lines being strictly
drawn there is always an effort being
made by some outsider to force an en-
trance, and in the case Of Baron Grant
1t met with success. Grant was a treble
millionaire who had made his fortune
in Turkish contracts and had invested
in an Italian title on his way back to
London. He was particularly notori-
Gus person and quite the last man whom
the Hogarths should have admitted.
However, by dint of buying pictures he
got in and proceeded to make his friends
happy.
One night big dinner was organized
In his honor and Whistler invited.
Though the great artist had refused, he
happened into the club on the important
evening and deputation of his friends
finally persuaded him into the supper
room. He appeared, was wildly cheered
and was at once asked to make a speech.
Gentlemen" he said, cit is On the
subject of titles should like to speak,
There are several kinds Of titles. Some
men are born into them-these are in
herited titles; others are conferred by
the sovereign and have been earned by
distinguished service; a few are attrib-
utes of the government, Of the law or
of the church. All this you know,
most of you. But title which is not
inherited, nor yet bestowed for merit,
nor even the sign of a position, is but a
barren grant. San Francisco Wave.

When young man asks father for his
daughters hand in marriage, if the father
is wise one, he thinks of one thing equal
ly as important as the young mans morals,
social and business standing and intelli-
get1ce. A young man who suffers from ill
health has no right to marry until his health
is restored. To do SO is to commit a crime
against the human race. While all diseases
may not be directly inherited, the constitu-
tional tendency to acquire them is inher-
tied. If man is a consumptive, the
chances are that his children will have
weak, undersized lungs, and a predisposi-
ton to acquire the same disease

"TAE RIDDLE OF THINGS THAT ARE"

We walk in a world where no man reads
The riddle of things that are,
From a tiny fern in the valleys heart
To the light of the largest star,
Yet we know that the pressure of life Is
hard
And the silence of death is deep
As we fall and rise ON the tangled way
That leads to the gate of Sleep.
We know that the problems of sin and pain
And the passions that lead to crime
Are the mysteries locked from age to age
In the awful vault of Time,
Yet we lift our weary feet and strive
Through the mire and mist to grope
And find ledge on the mount of Faith
In the morning land Of Hope.

A correspondent of the Denver Post,
writing from Cisco, Utah, mentions the
copper regions of the La Sale noun
tains as follows:
Samuel N. King, who is just in from
the La Sale mountain country, says
quite an emigration is going in there
this season.
A new road is being built from Cisco,
on the Rio Grande Western to Moab.
distance of SO miles. From Grand
Junction to Cisco the distance is "a
miles, making the entire distance from
Grand Junction to Moab 80 miles by
the new route Ten miles from Cisco
the road crosses the Grand river, where
a good ferry has been established, and
from there the road follows the river
to near Moab.
The latter town is the county seat of
Grand county, Utah, and contains
population of 700 or 500. 1t is three
miles from the river, in a beautiful
valley dotted with farms orchards,
gardens and comfortable homes. The
valley is three by II miles in extent,
and is watered by the Grand river, to-
gether with several tributaries. IT is
one of the finest valleys in the world,
with soil of marvellous fertility
This new road follows a water grade
all the way to Moab, with an abund-
ance of grass, water, and convenient
stopping places. TwothirdS of it has
already been completed, and it is pro-
posed to finish the remainder this sea-
son. 1t will shorten the distance be-
tween Grand Junction and the La Sale
mountains, the Moab valley, and all
that isolated territory, by many miles,
and give the public an easy road to
travel over 1t is predicted that a rail-
road will follow this route at an early
day, and a preliminary survey has al
ready been made.
Nearly 800 tons of freight went into
Moab last year, and the country is
growing, business is increasing, and
the mountains are teeming with latent
mineral wealth.
The La Sale mines are "a miles cast
of Moab. In that district considerable
development is being done, and pros
pectors are strung out over a wide ex-
tent of it's territory.
The Big Indian vein, Mr.. King says.
has been traced for 60 or 20 miles. IT
is great mother vein, running in cop
per, gold, and showing silver in places
as high as $3.50 to $3.50 per ton. De-
velopment thus far has been SUPER
fetal. The district is remote and trans
portation facilities are inadeuuate.
But capital will soon put the great ore
measures on the road to profitable pro-
duction, reduction plants will be built.
and the country developed as it de-
serves.
On Mineral mountain Hepburn &
Fowler are working a group of proper
ties with promising results. They are
putting in an old-fashioned Mexican
and expect to grind out IS to
$40 a day to the man. With a good
stamp mill and the modern appliances
they should be turning out the euuiv- |
liant of ten times that many dollars. |
And there are scores of men in the La
Sale region who might be making
money if they had a little encourage
