Magic Figure Nine.

A curious coincidence is noted in the
fact that nearly all the great mining
discoveries of recent times have been
made in years ending with the magic
figure nine. Thus the famous gold
find in California fell in the year
1S49. Ten years later, in 1859, remark
able discoveries of the same metal were
made simultaneously in Australia and
British Columbia, causing great rush
of fortune hunters to these points. In
1869 the famous Comstock lode find be-
came known to the world; in 1879 the
gold-bearing region around Leadville
and Tombstone, Ariz., began to attract
attention, and in 1889 the diggings at
Clover Creek and in Lower California
became the objective points of great
multitudes of excited and anxious
seekers after sudden wealth. And
now again, at the end of another de-
cade, history repeats itself once more.
The remarkable gold finds recently
made at Cape Nome, surprising in
richness and extent anything yet dis
covered in the Yukon district, bid fair
to make this year. 1899, as notable as
any in the annals of gold mining
Leslie's Weekly.

will smoke, and the islands will smoke.

will smoke, and the islands will smoke,
and the seas will smoke, and the cities
will smoke, and the five continents will
be five pillars of smoke. But the black
vapors will begin to lessen in height
and density, and then will become
hardly visible to those who look upon
1t from the sky galleries, and after a
while from just one point there will
curl up a thin, solitary vapor. and
then even that will vanish, and there
will be nothing left except the charred
ruins of a burned-out world, the corpse
of dead star, the ashes of an extin-
guished planet. a fallen pillar of smoke.
But that will not interfere with your
investments If you have taken Christ
as your Savior. Secure heaven as
your eternal home, and you can look
down upon dismantled, disrupted,
and demolished earth without any per-
turbation.
When wrapped in fire the realms of
ether glow,
And heavens last thunders shake the
earth below,
Thou, undismayed, shalt DER the ruins
smile,
And light thy torch at natures funeral
pile"

A story told me the other day-cer-

than that, the lady. shifting, easily
made out that the man had been eat
ing onions. Still more than that
she had the strongest kind of suspic:.
ion that he had been drinking beer.
The lady fused and wriggled. and
grew angrier, and looked at the man
scornfully. Presently she could en-
dure it no longer. She looked square.

How a Certain Duel Wa. STAYED on.


Lord March (afterward the Marquis
of Queensberry) was not accustomed
to view duel with unbecoming appre-
hension, and usually attended an affair
with an air of enjoyment that often
was decidedly displeasing and embar-
RAISING to his adversary. But he was
served at last with that sauce which
the proverb explains is for the gander
as we'll as for the goose. 1t was when
he was challenged to fight an Irish
sportsman. Lord March appeared on
the ground accompanied by second. a
surgeon and other witnesses. His OPP
ponent arrived soon afterward with a
similar retinue but added to by per-
son who staggered under the weight
OF polished oak coffin, which he de-
posted on the ground, end up, with
it's lid facing Lord March and his par
ty. Lord March became decidedly un-
comfortable when he read the inscrip-
ton plate, engraved with his own name
and title, and the date and year Of
death, and peace was patched up.

A Boston Man Pleased.

In conversation with some friends. q
prominent Boston man told of his suf-
ferings from rheumatism and nervous
ness, and one of his friends gave him
some advice, which will be mentioned
later, and which has proven to be of
incalculable value.
To successfully act on the advice, it
was necessary to make trip of over
2.009 miles, but he undertook it, and
now thanks his friend for the advice.
as he finds himself fully relieved of his
old trouble and has returned to his
home feeling able to cope with his
business demands, a new man.
The advice given was to go to Hot
Springs, South Dakota, and there take
the baths and enjoy the finest climate
of any health resort in America.
If this man was satisfied after making
a long trip, those residing within a
few hundred miles and similarly afflict-
ed can certainly afford to try it, or
rather can't afford to neglect to try it.
Ask any agent of the North Western
line for full particulars, or write

ramou. Indian Carried in Battle of tho

Famous Indian Carried in Battle of tho
Thames in 1912.
Sarah L. Russell. who lives with her
daughter, Mrs. E. H. Belts, at 1413
East Sixteenth street. Kansas City, has
the tomahawk carried by Tecumseh.
when he was killed at the battle OF the
Thames in October, 1912. Col. William
Russell, the founder of Russellville,
KY. who commanded the Kentucky
contingent OF that famous battle, was
permitted by Gen. Harrison to remove
the tomahawk from the dead body OF
Iecumseh and retain it, and it has been
In the possession OF the Russell family
ever since. 1t was made in England.
and presented to Tecumseh by the
British commander at Detroit. Sew
eral hundred towahawks were made in
england and sent to the British COM
manders at Detroit for use among the
Indians whom the British endeavored
to induce to drive out the white set
tiers Of Kentucky, Indiana and Michi
gan. With few exceptions these tom
ahaWks were made rather rudely Of
iron, with the handles bound with
bands Of the same metal. but the one
owned by Tecumseh was made of high
ly polished steel, with silver bands en-
circling the handle. 1t can also be
used as pipe for smoking, the blunt
end Of the blade being made like the
bowl OF pipe and the handle answer
Ing the purpose OF stem. The Brit
ish commander had several Of them
made after the pattern, which he pre-
sented to Tecumseh, the prophet "a
brother Of Tecumseh), Ketopah and
Iopanabee, celebrated Indian warrior
chiefs, who bore a conspicuous part in
the battles Of Tippecanoe. the siege OF
Fort Harrison, the battle of the Raisin.
and other noted battles which took
place In Indiana and Michigan and
along Lake Michigan while the British
held possession OF Detroit and were
using the Indians as their allies in the
endeavor to hold the west and north
west country. The Tecumseh toma-
hawk is the only one known to have
been preserved. Mrs. Russell has had
many offers to part with it, but the
relic will probably remain with her
descendants for many years to come.
Mrs. Egbert Russell. soon after it came
into the possession of her husband,
showed it to Blue Jacket, well-known
Shawnee chief. who was then over 80
years old. The old chief went into
ecstasies when told that the relic was
taken from the dead body of Tecumseh.
He kissed it and pressed it to his bosom
and told Mrs. Russell he was too young
to follow his grand chief. Tecumseh. in
the warpath, but he we'll remem bered
how proud Tecumseh was with that
tomahawk belted about his waist

Tho Queen as a Mother.

The queen, although kind, has been
despotic mother and grandmother,
and has concerned herself, says m. A.
p" more than the average parent with
the bringing up of her descendants. Be-
sides carefully supervising her chill
dren's education, selecting or approx
Ing their friends, and providing their
husbands and wives, she has vigorously
controlled their pin money, of which
there never has been any wasting in
the precincts of old Windsor. Toys
and gewgaws in the royal nursery were
limited, but there never was any lack
of books. Each child had its own min
1ature book case, and was responsible
for keeping it in order, as we'll as for
a periodical report showing just how
many and what books had been read.
The report was submitted to the queen
at the end of every month. The chill
dren frequently preferred to pass the
time playing, making out their list at
random, but were invariably caught.
In this respect Princess Louise is re-
ported to have proved the worst delin-
qIent, and it is said that on an aver
age her royal highness spent whole
day of each month in an empty room,
as punishment for this offense alone.
On one occasion, when child of 8, she
reported that her literary food for the
month had consisted OF few fairy
tales" THE Meditations of Marcus Au
relius" and THE Life Of Zwingli." The
queens suspicious being aroused she
questioned her daughter as to who
these personages were. Unhesitatingly
came the reply that Marcus Aurelius
had discovered America and Zwingli
was q famous German actor!
