NJ. Mongeot, under secretary Of
state for posts and telegraphs il
France, has matured a plan for the ex
tension of the telephone service. Thil
plan contemplates the notification OF
any person, whether renting tele.
phone or not, that some one wishes to
talk with him at given public tele-
phone booth. Within a radius of
twenty-five kilometres the charge will
be five cents, and must be paid by the
sender of the message. The charge
will be increased for any distance over
twenty-five kilometers, but will in no
case exceed ten cents. The message
will be regular form, somewhat as
follows: "You are notified that Mr..
", ;4ving at -, requests that you
will come to the telephone booth No.
- at-o'c clock" Each message
will be nun bered in the order of its re-
ceipt, and the number will entitle the
recipient to the use of the booth at
the time specified. Paris letter to the

The X. I. 7. ranch, in the extreme

the calf crop branded in 1897 exceeded

A THIN DISGUISE.

The cutie fish has a tricky habit of
covering his tracks by exuding an inkv
fluid which discolors the water and keeps
him Out of view. There's good deal of
the cutie fish about some advertise
ments, notably those purporting TO offer
medical advice by woman to women.
An examination of the advertisement
will show that no offer Of Doctors ad-
vice is really made And all the clanor
about I" writing to woman" is merely
raised to divert attention from the fact
that doctors advice is not really offered
and cannot be given. The real question
is not of writing to a a0JRaH or man
but OF writing to doctor,
For the advice of an unqualified
woman is just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.
Every day adds to the number of woru-
en- who take advantage, of DR.. Pierce's
genuine offer of a consultation by letter

hdentlal, and all answers are mailed

SANTA FE PROSPECTS.
Mining Industry in New Mexico and
Arizona Takes a Boom.

In speaking of western prospects, In
dustrial Commissioner j. A Davis OF
the Santa F'e said in d recent interview:
L viii venture the assertion that
within the next eighteen months there
will be the greatest revival in mining
ever known in the history of the cOun-
try OF course. 1 am speaking of the
country along the lines of the santa he
in New Mexico, Arizona and California
1 picked up a bit of gold ore which as
sayed $4,000 to the ton Now, do not
mean to say that there is a prospect as
rich as that. but it shows coEclusively
that there are some excellent prospects
along the line, but their richness can
only be determined by hard work.
Great deposits of copper and man
ganeSe ores have been found and If the
present prospect develops, the greatest
copper mine the world ever knew will
be on the line of the Santa Fe. There
has been also great deposit of mag
nesia uncovered. 1t can be put down as
a fact that the richness of the country
along the lines of the Santa Fe has
not yet reached such a stage of de-
velOpment that it can be estimated; but
we are going along, and the work OF
the past eighteen months is just begin
ming to be realized. This is from a
mining standpoint.
There are also along the line of the
Santa Fe agricultural, lands. the pos
sibilities of which can hardly be con-
ceived. am arranging now for the
establishment of a sugar beet factory
in the Arkansas valley in southeastern
Colorado that will use 1000 tons of
beets per day. 1t has been demon
strated that the finest and most produc-
tive sugar beet in the world can be
raised in the Arkansas valley Tt has
also been demonstrated that the finest
celery in the country can be produced
in the same territory. There will be a
