THE OOORBELL.
IL Tells what Manner of Man You
Are by Your Ring.

~ '""i
Doorbclls are pretty fair Indicators
of character Probably you have not
been conscious of it, but every time
you pull Il doorbell you register what
manner of man you are. Your ring will
not tell everything about you, from
the color of your eyes to your taste in
flowers, but to those who know the
signs the doorbell is as good as a title
page. Any one who has had occasion
to answer bell pulls knows how much
difference there is in them. One per-
sons method varies little from time to
time, though the difference between
that method and somebody else's,
while slight, will be sufficiently we'll
marked. 1t is seldom that two rings
are exactly alike.
The housewife recognizes each, the
impatient man, who pulls the bell
twice in quick succession and does not
wait long before trying it again; the
one Of more phlegmatic temperament,
whose ring is slower and more sub
stantial; til" hcSitating woman, who
draws the knob out in Il succession Of
nervous jerks; the seedy individual
with matches to sell, who stretches
the wire carefully to its full length
and then allows it to relax with a
faint, apologctic tinklc, and the jolly
friend, who knows he is welcome, and
therefore graSps the knob with hear
ty swing that is fairly eloquent with
good nature, and sets the bell to Shall
ing its sides with such pcals Of echo
ing laughter that it positively cannot
stop at once, but subsidies gradually
with Il merry, irrepressible little litter.

BY MARY {. LEONARD.

The wife of loom Paul. Kruger is n
plain, mothcrly looking Old woman,
who is as vigorous at 80 as most wOm-
en- are at 40. As wife of the president
of the TranSvaal republic she lives as
simply as any burghcr's wife in the
country. Although her husband is said
to have a fortune of from S2J.O0O.OOO
to $4,000. .OOO, she lives as economical
ly as she would if they had not pen

What would we think of the wife Of
an American multimillionaire who did
her own homework, cooked ner own
meals. made her own dresses and darn
ed her husbands socks? Yet Mrs.
Kruger does all these things. She hes
none of the airs of the fine lady. The

For many years the Krugcrs lived in
a modest little cottage on one of Pre-

generally covered with morning glory
vines. and there was big tree in the
front yard. Under this tree Mrs. Kru-

her lord and master sat near smoking.

The attempt to utilize compressed air

ago the venture was not attended with
reasonable success. Certain difficulties
peculiar to that class of work were
overcome only after prolonged expert

1t is stated that the AZurite mine has
thus far shipped upwards of ,00C
worth of copper bullion and the ground
has scarcely yet been scratched. This
mine will some day become one of Ari-
zona's great bullion producers.-Tucson
| Citizen.
The prediction of Governor Murphy S
enemies that direful results would be-
fall Arizona on account of his procla-
nation of warning against fraudulent
mining schemes has not yet been real
lied, and just when this calamity is to
come upon us these prognosticators of
evil fail to enlighten the public, says
the Tucson Citizen. So far the proph-
ecy is a rank failure, and no signs are
visible that our mining interests have
been materially damaged in the least
by the famous proclamation; but on
the contrary there is abundant reason
to assume that the confidence of in
vestors in our mines has increased.
That proclamation came to strangers
as a friendly warning, and as such it
had no application to mines of merit,
honestly conducted. From every good
mining district in the territory comes
the cheering reports of increased activ-
ity, so that at no time in the history of
the territory has the output of precious
metals been so large, and the future
prospects so bright as in this last
month of the last year of the nine
teenth century.

AN ExTRAvAGANr wooER.
A Prince Would Pay Quarter of a Mil

Paris.-The gOssips who said Mrs.
Stewart Taylor, a popular member of
the American colony, was offered a
quarter of million dollars as COM
mission for arranging a marriage be-
tween Miss Daily and an Italian prince
got the story wrong. The first report
was that Marcus Daily, the Anaconda
copper king, had made the offer, eth
er in fun or in earnest Investigation
proves that it was the Italian prince
a man with a long record of queer gal
lantries-who made the offer to Mrs.
Taylor. and not Marcus Daily, who is
violently opposed to foreign fortune
hunters. however noble in rank It
does not appear that Mrs. Taylor took
the offer seriously. although she told
of it.
Miss Madge DAILY was educated in
Paris, and is an accomplished young
woman. Her mother has been with
her, but Marcus Daily has been too
busy with his numerous enterprises in
America to spend much time in Euro
pean travel. Like all American girls
with ulti-millionaire fathers, Miss
Daily has been pursued by innumerable
foreign noblemen with splendid mort
gagged titles, but neither Mrs. Daily nor
her daughter would have any of them.

COLLECTOR OF CUSTOMS.
The Chenoweth Side of the Nogales
Difficulty.

Regarding the resignation of H. K.
Chenoweth as collector of customs at
Nogales the Vidette prints the follow
ing telegram:

November IA, after Secretary Gage had
gone over the evidence and made no
findings against him, Collector of Gus

take effect December 10. He was ten

ton, but refused on account of i'm
portant mining business.
1t then comments on the situation in
these words:
Hon. H. K. Chenoweth, notwith
standing that he is no longer collector
of customs at the port of Nogales, has
more personal friends than any man

Of the vile charges made against him.
accepted Mr.. Chenoweth's resignation
a month ago to take effect today, is
evidence sufficient that the grave
charges were not sustained. If the
charges were true and Mr.. Chenoweth
guilty of a crime against the govern
ment the government would not have
permitted him to resign, but would
have incarcerated him in the state
oh Nv
Chenoweth were found to be true,
would the government against whom
he had sinned offer him better posi-
ton than the one from which he has
just resigned?"
The Vidette extends the following
greeting to the new collector:
William H. Hoey of Muncie, Ind,
accompanied by his handsome and ac-
compIished wife, arrived in the city
Tuesday. They registered at the Hotel
Montezuma. Today Mr.. HOey will take
charge of the United States custom
house at the port of Nogales. The vi
dette takes off it's hat to Collector
of Customs Hoey of Indiana. We had
hoped to the last that Mr.. Chenoweths
enemies lacked the strength to accom-
plish the gentleman's undoing. The
methods used will ever be obnoxious to
US and all fair minded and honor loving
people must feel as we do, but the vi
dette does not believe that Mr.. Hoey
was in any way responsible for the re-
suit. Hence we bear the gentleman no
i'll will and hope that he will conduct
the office to which he has been appoint
ed with credit to himself and the gov
eminent he represents"

AMERICAS GREAT LOCOMOTIVES.

The American locomotive engineer
deems it advisable to design his engine
with a large margin of power. If an
express engine is designed to take a
200-ton load at fifty miles an hour, and
if that load should happen to be in
creased to 500 tons. the locomotive is
still expected to be able to take it and
at any rate. is the experience of such
an impartial and level headed observer
as Mr.. w. NJ. Acworth. If an Ameri-
can express be late at one point of it's
journey the engine is expected to make
up the lost time even if the load be
generally done.
But if an English engine is given a
single coach above it's prescribed load
the driver at once insists upon having
pilot" and commonly he gets one.
Or should the weather be bad, with
strong side wind or a slippery rail, he
demands an assisting engine and is ac-
corded one. as a matter of course. OBJ
viously this applies especially to the
case of single wheelers, which are 50
largely used on some English railways
because their range of power is much
more sharply limited by adverse condi-
lions than is the case with coupled en-
gines. But in either case, it seems in
disputable that smaller range of pow
er is given to an English locomotive
than to an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A DESERT GROUP

colored carbonates above the surface
for a few feet and then taking refuge
in a ledge of the desert. While the
veins follow a general course of north
west and southeast, they appear at
slight diversion from parallel and pitch
into the earth as if they were striking
for a common point somewhere in the
suIphide wealth below. On this prom
Use is based the most eXtTavaGant
hopes of the owners of the desert group.
The surface only indicates. The fur
Their development of the claims must
confirm what the surface promises. If
it does not do this then surely the des-
ert group is one of natures freaks.
Thus far there is only enough work
done to explore the outcrop of mineral.
The owners of the claims have sensibly
confined their endeavors to prospecting
the zone. They wanted first to learn
its characteristics, for mines are like
human beings-no two are alike. They
prosecuted this work with good results,
and a casual visit to the claims, with
the surface development that has been
done, makes it possible for the visitor
to make an intelligent measurement of
the mineral and it's strike. Now that
this much has been done, and there is
such rich promise for the opening of a
vast storehouse of mineral, the owners
propose to sink to the water level and
penetrate the zone of enrichment which
the experts say always exists where
there are such unmistakable signs Of
teaching as the veins of the desert
group disclose.
The owners of these new claims are
Phoenix gentlemen, the properties are
located in Maricopa county, fifty miles
north of Phoenix, and there should be a
local interest in the honest effort that
is being made to open up a copper mine
here. If it is to be mine at all it will
be a big one.
The desert group is located six miles
west of Hot Springs Junction on the
Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix rail-
road. 1 am informed that a company
has been formed by the owners of the
desert group which is known as the
Aztec Mining company. The officials
are Captain j. G. Evens, president;
Thomas E. Dalton, secretary and treas
urer; James G. Granville, vice presi-
dent. GEOGE H. SMALLEY.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

B. r. Leighton of Philadelphia, who
is in the city attending the horse show,
told at the Fifth Avenue hotel yester-
day of an exciting experience he had
had in hunting big horn in the Rocky
mountains: 81 started out from Van
couver, B. c. said Mr.. Leighton, land
when 1 arrived at the little town to
which 1 had been directed I found the
guides asked the modest price of SIS a
day and their food. This was too much
for me. and 1 was in despair, until an
Englishman who lived there volun-
teered to go along for the fun of the
trip. So together we started The
Englishulan had only a shot gun and
a rife. We had tramped it for days
without sighting anything, until one
morning we espied a eve and two
lambs at distance of some four hun
bred yards. 1t was idiotic to make the
try, but did but with the shot herd
of big horn came out OF an adjacent
ravine. At the time we were on
ledge not more than three feet wide on
the side of the mountain, but pumped
lead into them at a great rate and Sc
cured two fine bucks and eve. 1 had
emptied my rifle and was starting to
reload when 1 heard my companion
yelling, Shoot him! Shoot him. For
heavens sake, Leighton, shoot him.
and, looking around, I saw a gigantic
big horn charging full tilt down the
narrow trail upon US. Luckily a tree
was growing just beyond the ledge.
and we got into that just in time TO
escape being knocked over the preci-
pice. My companion emptied his shot
gun into the big horn as he passed
but it apparently did him no harm. 1t
was a nasty squeeze, though, and one
that shouldn't care to repeat."-New
