PREACHER AND FIGHTER.
California Divine Teaches a EotorI-
GUS Bully Sunday Lesson.

NnhtOrnfn Divine Teaches a NOtOrf-
GUS Bully a. Sunday Lesson.
Rev. Stanley Wilson, of Ramona, Cal,
is perhaps the only clergyman in the
country who has a record Of preaching
sermon and thrashing a bully all in
the same Sunday forenoon, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Mr.. Wilson is an
athletic young man, being considered
the best boxer in the mountain region
of his county, and in addition to rid
ing the circuit embracing the various
hamlets in the hills is editor of the
Ramona Sentinel. He preached the
other morning in the little Baptist
church that stands among the pines
of the hills back of Julian. After his
sermon Mr.. Wilson was accosted on the
streets by Dave Putnam, a bully, who
has been in many scrapes, who demand
ed a retraction of a certain item that
lately appeared in the Ramona Sentinel
rejecting on himself.
ibid you write that article about
me?" asked Putnam.
Il am responsible for it, if I did not
write it," replied the preacher.
swell, if you are responsible for
It, take that" said Putnam, striking at
the eloquent young paraon.
The blow failed to land. The par
son sailed into the miner, and they
clinched. Then the dust Of the streets
arose in cloud. The miners gathered
around and oheered the preacher to the
echo Within five minutes Putnam was
knocked cut and the preacher wascalnl-
ly busting off his plug hat.
Even before this occurred Mr.. Will
son did not Lack popularity, but since
then his stock has gone up hundred
fold. Putnam has been laughed out OF
the county.

A BANQUET At SILVA.
Guests ProfuseIy sprfn1xIed with
Rose Wnter After the MenI.

Rose water After the Meal.
There were several round tables
placed down the middle of the room;
candles burned in candlesticks, all of
which had been imported from Cairo
at fabulous cost, says the Geogr@ phi
cal Journal. Lamps of olive oil were
also about the room. The food was
more than abundant. A whole sheep
stuffed with rice, raisins and pistachio
nuts; soup, chicken. vegetables sue
ceeded each other. Then came trays of
delicious fruit-the trays made of
woven date-fiber; the fruit, the de-
licious black grapes, figs, a small va
riety of watermelon, sweet lemons,
pomegranates and mandarins.
Our host did not sit down, but di-
rected the servants, who were most
likely slaves. There is still some traffic
in slaves from Kura, the price of these
being a small roll of blue and black
cloth, such as the natives wear. fancy
most Of the Swans dislike of admit
ting Christians to their town is the
dread that their slave trade will be in
terfered with. There was no conversa-
ton during the meal, for anyone TO
talk would have been disregard for
the other more important function of
eating.
After a long dinner VIC rose and
washed our hands in brass basins, with
water poured out of ewers. Then all
sat on divans round the room. A SER
want then walked round, showering
rose water over us so literally that an
other had to follow with towel and
wipe us dry, and while he did this a
third stuffed us with incense. This I'M
pleasant ceremony cost our host large
sum, for rose water imported from
Egypt becomes of fabulous value and
the servants were unpleasantly liberal
in dispensing it.

HOW BISMARCK BECAME RICH.
German Writer Says the Chancellor
SpccuInted on State Secrets.

German Writer Says the Chancellor
SpccuInted on State Secrets.
A pamphlet has recently appeared in
Germany entitled Bismarck and Blefch-
roeder." It's cuthor, says London. Truth,
is member of the old Junker party of
the name of Diebat Daher, and it pro-
fesses to give some curious details il,
regard to the present fortune OF the ex-
chancellor and how it was acquired.
After the German war of 1870 the prince
received from the country two estates
of no great value, which, coupled with
his own paternal estate, brought him
in fair revenue. He then left BIeich-
roeder to look after his private moneta-
ry affairs, with the result that he. now
has fortune amounting TO 150, COO 600
marks. This, the author estimates, can
only have been made by stock exchange
speculations, based on the knowledge
that prince derived from his position
at the head of the German government,
and which he confided to Bleichroed der.
That, with the cares Of empire on his
shoulders, he left his monetary affairs
in the hands of his banker is very nos
sible, and equally possible is it that his
banker did the best for his client. But
l should require a good deal more evil
dence than is afforded in this pamphlet
to believe that the prince speculated On
state secrets in partnership with a He
brew financier or that his fortune is
now anything like 150,000,000 marks

THE CHRYsANTHEmuM.
Its Development Since Its First In.
PRODUCTION.

PRODUCTION.
When the plant was introduced, about
1910, it was only the small daisy-like
flower, now only seen as a rule in cot
tage gardens, which was highly priced
as a novelty. The taste for growing
and showing it began early, and before
1860 there were many chrysanthemum
societies in existence, among them the
Stoke Newington, which formed the
nucleus of the National society. Yet it
was not until 1859, when the plants suf-
fered severely from early frosts, that
there was any idea Of growing them
under glass. The japanese variety was
noticed in 1864 as a novelty, very Curl
GUS and interesting, but scarcely orna-
mental" How little did the author of
these remarks suspect that a future was
before the plant he so summarily set
asidel Three years later, however, we
find japanese varieties recommended
with pompom and incurved, and since
then they have increased in favor, says
Longman's Magazine.
The gorgeously colored mop-like
blooms now exhibited every autumn
would certainly astonish that writer
of 80 years ago. The golden and bronze
shades of the chrysanthemum suited
the taste of the promoters of the "high
art" aesthetic movement of a few years
ago, which, if it had no other merit,
helped to bring this flower more for
ward and revived the culture of sun
flowers, which were fast becoming ex-
tinct in our gardens.

ONE LIGHT THAT NEVER FAILS.
A Tiny Gas Jet whose Flame Is Con-
tinuOus Year In ard Year Ont.

A Tiny Gas Jet whose Flame Is Con-
tinuous Year In ard Year Out.
Everyone must recognize the beauty
and many advantages possessed by thl.
electric light, but, perhaps, few have
thought of the disccmforts to which a
large part of the population. would be
put if this most modern and perfect
illumiuant were TO supersede all the
older forms in use.
An excellent example of this is to be
found in the large worlZroom Of the re-
porters in the New York Sun office. In
this room, says the paper, are scores OF
incaldescent electric lamps, and no one
lacks light, but at an odd corner there
is always burning one little gas Jet,
whose light is insignificant, but dearer
to the men who work about il than all
the electric lights in the room. Day
and night, year in and year cut, this
gas jet burns with fame not more
than half an inch high, and quarter Of
an inch broad, and day and night it is
the Mecca Of every man who resorts to
tobacco smoking to socth his nerves or
XIII idle moments. Everybody knows
where to find q light for cigar, pipe, or
cigarette, but this was not true years
ago when the electric lights took the
pace of the old gas jets which lit the
room. With these open lights in PRO
fusion no one had ever found it neces-
sary to keep a stock of matches at baud
for starting a smoke. For many day
and night after the electric lights were
established there were great hunts
through the office for matches, and then
finally it became the fixed custom to
keep a gas light going at a corner near
the sporting desk to accommodate the
smokers

There are nervy men and nervy men.
One nervy man was on a Pythian street
car the other afternoon, says the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. He was rid
ing home with his wife. The car
wasn't very crowded. When he reached
the corner the conductor rang the
bell. The car stopped, and he start
ed out with his wife. On the way out
he saw n friend of his and halted mid
way down the aisle.
"AIr. Jones'" said the nervy man,
"this is my wife,
81 am glad to meet you, Mr.. Jones, -
said the wife.
81 am charmed" said Mr.. Jones.
Then everybody shook hands.
"Good-by, Jones" said the nervy man.
"Good-by," said Jones.
Then the nervy man left the car,
which had been standing still during
the ceremony of introduction, expires
sions Of delight and farewells.
well, I'll be burned" said the CON
duetor, and the passengers who had
been looking on wide-mouthed laughed.

When Virginia was settled auctions of
wives were held at jamestown. The
average price was e12o, or $500. The
only place on the continent row where
such price might prevail is the Klon-
dixie. There are $4,000 more women
than men in Massachusetts alone, which
is an Indication that the market is over
stocked.

who has been in Idaho for several
months in the interests of a syndicate,
has the following to say about the pos
sibilities of the great mineral belt of
that state:
The lodges are large and well-de-
hned, and lie between granite walls,
through assure veins. The groupings
indicate free milling quartz, but as
depth Is attained the ore runs into a base
proposition. carrying a large per cent of
copper and some lead. There is no
doubt in my mind but that this whole
mineral belt is smelling ore The trend
of the lodges is almost due north, and
the dip about so per cent to the east
This was a great placer region in the
sos, and I believe there are many OPP
portunities yet in a placer way. Cen
trail Idaho is a country of vast and
wonderful resources in manv wavs, and
