The new mining discovery near
Canon City represents the annual
wildcat boom and is promptly on
time, only to fall down quite as
promptly and be laid away in the
archives labeled unfermented
hopes. We never could understand
why little piece OF rock no larger
than an Irishman's fist should
startle the world and send thous-
ands of people pell nell in mad
rush to the spot from whence
il was said to come. One chunk
of ore the size of goose egg
never made n mining town, as ii
does not sprout like an alfalfa
seed and make more mineral but
is too often n snare and a delusion.
1t is only to be regretted that the
new find at Dawson City is not
more encouraging, for Colorado
stands in need just now of the
benefits of real old-fashioned
mining boom with no strings tied
to it.-Denver Field and Farm.

Some Curious Watches.

With all our modern improvements
We rarely hear nowadays of watches
SO fancifully complex as used to be
made for great folks in the times when
all watches were expensive and com.
paratively novel. King George ILL.,, 10
the year 1869, received present of a
watch that was kind of mechanical
almanac; it pointed out the date and
also had a device to show the varying
lengths of the days, according to the
season. 1t was not bigger than other
watches of the time, but then they
were all what we should call turnips
now. The Emperor Napoleon |. had
watch which wound itself up by means
of weighted lever, which, at every
step his Majesty took, rose and fell
and having gathering click to It
wound up ratchet attached to the bar.
rel. Pedometers were afterward made
on the same principle. The Duke OF
Wellington had watch which was
given to him by the King of Spain from
which the time could be told by the
touch, the hours being marked by studs
In the back of the case was placed an
Index which, when moved forward
would stop at the portion of the hour
Indicated by the watch, and then by
means of these studs the time could be
approximately computed In the dark.
Catherine of Russia had a watch con.
structed by an ingenious peasant which
played chant, and had within 1t tiny
mechanical figures which, moving
about, were supposed to represent the
scene of the resurrection of the Savior,
the chant was then heard all over Rus.
sia at Eastertime. But this watch was
bigger than hens egg.-Manufaetur

Two Tramps with Talent.

A number of well-known theatrical
people were drinking and chatting In
North Sth street saloon a few nights
ago, when tough looking specimen
of the genus hobo blew into the place
and approached the group at the bar.
He was shaggy and unkempt, and the
effect of years of constant tippling was
apparent in the rich coloring of bis
nose. In very husky Weary Willy
voice he asked If he and his pal might
entertain the crowd. This permission
being granted, he went to the door and
called out: "Chang!" The crowd was
amazed to see disreputable looking
Chinaman come ambling in and stand
by the tramp's SIDE. With short In
PRODUCTION the oddly assorted pair went
to work and displayed some really re-
markable feats in legerdemain, one
feat in particular proving very mysu'
flying. This was to allow any person
to take his own penknife and plunge
the blade into the Celestals arm or lee
In any spot he pleased. After repeated
encores mindreading was resorted 10
and really fine exhibition was given
After this one of the audience, who
was recognized as nagaclan, drew
the pair aside and tried to bargain fot
the secret Of the knife trick. The men
wouldn't tell, however, and after about
So had been collected they departed

Gentle Courtesy.

Lady Camilla Gurdon, In her mem
cries of Suffolk, tells true story of
society woman who was sweet-natured
and generous enough to give the poor
of her very best. She used to visit the
large, dreary workh0use in the manu-
featuring town near her country home.
For this, she dressed herself carefully
In her best clothes, and wore all her
brightest jewels. For" said Gertrude.
simply, poor people care much more
to see one In ones best things than rich
people do. | wonder why everybody
generally puts on common, dull old
clothes to visit cottages!'
One night we went together to par
ty, my pretty Gertrude dressed In every
color OF the rainbow, with diamonds
sparkling on her wavy hair and shining
about her soft, round throat. As we
alighted from our carriage, the Prince
and Princess of Wales happened to ar
rive, and we stood aside on the steps
to let them pass.
AS usual, there was crowd of people
waiting to enter the house. poor
woman, just behind us, was vainly en-
deavorng to lift her child, n little Grip
pie, so that he might see the Princess;
but each time she pressed forward a
policeman pushed her back, The child
broke into wall:
"Oh, can't see her. | can't see her.
You promised l should see her,
mammy!"
Gertrude turned quickly. give me
your little boy she said, and she took
the astonished child In her arms. Il
will hold him up. He can have much
better view here"
With n queenly gesture, she waved
aside the bewildered policeman. The
little cripple put his tiny, wasted arms
trustfully about her neck, and leaned
eagerly forward to see all that was to
be seen; and when .he sight was over,
and Gertrude gently disentangled her
self from Ids poor little hands, to give
him back to his mother, the child put
his pale lips her rosy cheek and kissed
her
pretty ladyl pretty LADY," he said,
admirlngly.
His mother broke into a torrent of
thanks and apologies. while Gertrude
gathering up her brilliant train, passed

ACTING AFRAID OF DOGS.
It Is tho Surest Way In the World to
Provoke an Attack.

It Is tho surest Way In the World to
Provoke an Attack.
It Is curious, to me wonderful, how
we'll dogs understand people. They
seem at glance or very soon thereafter
to decide in their minds whether or not
it would be safe to assail one who en-
tiers their owners premises, says Lip
pincott's Magazine. My own opinion is
that every one of them, big or little, OF
high or low degree, would like to bite
every stranger that he sees. Their love
for their master makes them jealous or
makes them pretend to be jealous OF
everybody who approaches them, and
they debate momentarily whether or not
conner is afraid of them. If he is not,
they either extend friendly salute,
which always is deceitful, or assume to
be Indifferent. If he is they give him
bite, more or less deep, then stink
away from possible consequences.
For years and years l have followed
the rule, when visiting person resid-
ing out of town, unless know positive
ly that he keeps no dog of any size. to
halt at the gate, raise halloo and
await not only my hosts invita-
tion. but his approach and his &C.
compartment into his house. could
not tell the number of times wherein l
have been barked at furiously from the
inside by dogs whose owners declared
that in all their lives they had never
done such a thing before to man OF
genteel appearance.
The counsels and admonitions bestow-
ed upon me might have excited some
gratitude If they had not been wholly
useless. l have been asked SO many
times thatit makes me almost sick to
have the question repeated. why don I
you just go along without noticing
such things, not being or at least pre-
tending not to be afraid? Not one dog
in 10000 will try to bite gentleman
unless he is provoked or sees that he is
being avoided.
