"a little more than three years

manager Of the War Eagle mine, near
Rolin, B. @. I had always had the
idea that there was plenty of gold in
the Oomavill reservation in Washing
ton state and one day I decided to
make an investigation. / gave two
Of my workmen $50 each and started
them out prospecting. A hundred
dollars was large sum with me then,
but it made me rich man and it
made the prospectors Fich, too. They
discovered gold in large quantities
and Immediately organized the Be
public Gold Mine Milling 90. There
were l,oop.O 900 shares of stock. The
two prospedtors and I had : fourth
interest each. The remainder Of the
shares we disposed OF at 10 cents a
share, although we had hard time
doing it. When operations were
finally begun Yg Yg bad splendid success.
Three months ago We sold the 100000
shares of the stock 20 a Montreal

The Los angeles Times, one Of the
leading Republican organs Of the
Pacific slope, advocates plank in the
national republican platform favorine
government storage reservoirs for the
irrigation of the arid lands of the
west, and opposing the cession Of
public lands to the states and terri
tories. For once the Times is right.
If the public domain were ceded to
the states and territories. it would
only be short time until some trust
or combination of politicians for
s.what there is in it" would own ell
the public domain. What we would
like to see c; would be a plank Of that
nature in the platform Of both the
national platforms. and the congress-
men Of both parties pledged to see
that Il; L; i. carried out. Such an enter
prise would be xorth more to the
general government than the Phillip
pine Islands will eyer be. and which
will cost the people Of this country
four times the amount necessary to
save the food waters of the entire

RUN BY SEVEN WOMEN.
A Texas Hotel That l. Ably Con.
dacted by .seven sa.cu-
ned Sisters.~

They say that the best. hotel in Texas
is to be found at Belton, town on the
Santa Fe road, and 1t is kept by .seven
sanctified sisters as the proprietors
are popularity called. Several years ago
q woman in that place and her husband
quarreled over the best way of ex-
pounding Scriptures to Sunday
school class, and were SO stubborn that
they separated and were finally di-
vorced. This family controversy was
taken up by the town, which was soon
distinctly divided between the adher-
ents of the husband and the adherents
of the wife. The result was large
crop of divorces, and seven husbandless
women, including the original cause Of
the commotion, joined together and
rented the town hotel One of them
did the cooking, another was parlor
maid, third made up the beds, and
so they divided the work among them
and ran the establishment upon the
cooperative plan. They would not en-
ploy a man about the place, although
the most of their patrons were men,
OF course. People say that women trav-
elers preferred to stop elsewhere, and
that would be woman's way. One of
the "seven sapctifed sisters used to
drive big carry-all down to the rail
way station three or four times day to
meet the trains, but she let the regular
transfer company handle the baggage.
The hotel prospered from the begin
ming, and there was no reason why it
should not, for everything was neat
and homelike and the cooking was the
best in Texas, which is not saying
much, perhaps, but is good reason
why it was appreciated. Every Sum
day it was crowded. The drummers
used to swarm there from all the north
central part of the state, and every pas.
senger on the Santa Fe trains was an
advertising agent. The "sanctified sis
ters' made money, as they deserved to
do; they enlarged their establishment
and started a big laundry in connection
with it, where the drummers left their
soiled clothes to be done up while they
were out during the week. Then the
sisters" bought hotel at Waco, and
started laundry there, with equal
success, and now they are talking OF
starting one in New York.-Chicago

THE UNHAPPY czARINA.
II Ii Reported That the Empress Of
Russia Does Not Enjoy Her
Splendor.

The evident beauty of the Russian
empress face is SO overshadowed by
an expression of patient, pathetic mel.
ancholy that she arouses sympathy and
curiosity in everyone. Undoubtedly the
czarina is not happy woman. Russian
empresses have little enough to inspire
content, and this pale, pretty creature
with the sad eyes and mouth endures
daily such tests of her physical
strength and moral courage as few
American women would care or con-
sent, for all the Russian state and
power, to undergo. Her husband, on
the whole, is a kindly young man who
is considerate, even affectionate, but
he can do very little to mitigate the Sc
we're, even cruel, Russian court etiquette
to which she must bow; with her he
shares the daily terror of assassina-
ton, and with his people he laments
the fact that the empress has not vet
given an heir to his throne,
In spite of her beauty and her vir-
tues, the empress is not loved by the
Russian people nor consulted and con-
fided in by her husband as her mother
in-law, Empress Dagmar, the dowager,
was. She has neither the robust
physique nor the ambitious interests
of the clever dowager, and court in
trigues, squabbles and etiquette dis
tress and fatigue her. 1t is fact well
known that up to the very day before
her betrothal she resisted the change
of her religion and Christian name that
every Russian empress consort must
yield to; again and again she has faint
I'd at the long receptions, balls and re-
views through which, in spite of her i'll
ness, she is obliged to stand. and the
only true comfort and solace she finds
in her dreary splendor is the personal
services and attentions she is allowed
to- lavish on her tiny girls.-Detroit

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, sunken-c checked, dis
tressed- looking people you so often meet
are afflicted with Kidney Complexion.
Their kidneys are turning to parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have Indigestion, or sui.
fer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neural.
gia, brain trouble, nervous exhaustion and
sometimes the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney dis.
ease does not find out what the trouble is
until it is almost too late, because the first
symptoms are so like mild sickness that
they do not think they need a medicine
or doctor until they find themselves
sick in bed.
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root will build IN
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, purity their diseased, kidney
poisoned blood, clear their complexion
and soon they will enjoy better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store at fifty cents and one dollar.
or you may first prove for yourself the
wonderful virtues OF this great discovery.
Swamp Root, by sending your address to
DIR. Kiimer & Co, Binghamton, n. V, for
sample bottle and a book that tells all
about it, both sent you absolutely free by
mail. When writing kindly mention that
