The Best Dog.

Yes, I went to see the bowwows, and 7
looked at every one,
Proud dogs of every breed and strain
that's underneath the sun;
But not one could compare with-you may
hear 1t with surprise
A little yellow dog / know that never took
prize
Not that they would have skipped him
when they gave the ribbons out,
Had there been a. class to fit him-though
his lineage is in doubt.
No judge Of dogs could e'er resist the hon
est, faithful eyes
Of that plain little yellow dog that never
took prize.
Suppose he wasn't trained to hunt, and
never killed d rat,
And isn't much On tricks or looks or birth
well. what of that?
That might be said of lots of folks whom
men call great and wise,
AS we'll as of that yellow dog that never
took prize.
1t isn't what dog can do or who a dog
maye be,
That hits man. It's simply this-does he
believe in me?
And by that test l know there's not the
compeer meath the skies
OF that plain little yellow pup that never
took prize.
Oh, he's the finest little pup that ever
wagged a tail.
And followed man with equal joy to Con-
gress or to jail
m going to start a special show-'twill
beat the world for size
For faithful little yellow dogs, and each
shall have a prize.

NEVER UP A NIGHT.

A man in Grand Rapids, Michigan,
F. ]. Hill, druggist. discovered that
one of the most perfect and safe ways
to wean a babe was to begin feeding
Grape Nuts, the famous breakfast food
His letter states: "If there is a baby
food that is better than Grape-Nuts, it
must be a dandy. We began feeding
our little Garcia Grape Nuts before
weaving, and for a few months after
1t was her only food, and a fatter, more
healthy child could not be found We
were never up a night, nor did she
have a days sickness. We didn't realize
when she gave up the nurse Conse-
quently we feel grateful for the pro-
duct called Grape-Nuts, and wish you
success"
This coming from a druggist who
has access to all the well-known baby
foods is somewhat remarkable. but
when one realizes that Grape Nuts are
composed of the most nourishing parts
of the cereals, treated by heat, time and
moisture, without any drugs whatso-
ever, and thereby with scientific pro-
cesses actually pre-digested, in the
same manner that the human body
changes the starch Of the cereals into
delicate grape sugar, it is easy to
understand why the food can be han
died by even a very young baby
1t is not only the most powerful
nutritive food for athletes and strong
men, but as seen, it is applicable to
the most delicate stomachs This fact
has been proven over and over again
by use with invalids and weak babies
Add to these nutritious features, the
fact that Grape-Nuts is of most de-
licious flavor, the grape sugar to
be seen glistening on the little gran
ules, and reason is discovered for the
universal and enormous sale of the new
food product
Grape-Nuts are made by the Postum
Cereal Co., Ltd, at Battle Greek, and
sold by all first-class grocers.

for sinking 1000 feet has been added,
and steam power drills will be used.
The shaft is now down 100 feet below
water. or creek level. There are some
1,4GO feet of tunnels run on the ledge
above the mouth of the shaft Mr..
oHbridge proposes to sink the staff
100 feet deeper at once and to DRIFT on
each l00-foot level and to open up and
develop the mine according to the most
approved mining methods.
The car track from the shaft some
800 feet to the mill down Frazier Creek
Canyon, is being overhauled and re-
built in places.
The twenty-stamp mill has been con-
verted into a new mill and ten stamps
will be kept running continually on ore
from the mines. A new Tuthill water
wheel has just been put in place, which
will furnish, it is expected about 5C
per cent. more power than did the old
knight wheel, which has been taken
out
About twenty men are now employed
and more will be added as needed. Mr.
TroWbridge expects to commence mill
ing not later than the first of next
month. E. c. Robinson, who came ur
from Oakland about ten days ago, will
return home in a few days.
See & Jolly have not mined any this
year, their mill being kept busy on
ore taken out last year. Their mines
have been bonded, with fair hopes that
a sale may be consummated.
J. H. McCauley has been developing
a quartz ledge, having a continuous
pay chute of over 700 feet. Although
the ledge at and near the surface is
small, yet it shows evidence of widen
ing. The ledge matter and filling is
between walls from three to four feet
apart.
E. c. Robinson is extending his tun-
mel to cross-cut the Little Bear hedge
He has two shifts working, and ex-
poets to strike the ledge this week
Mr.. Robinson thinks he has a good ten
foot ledge of So free milling ore. The
Little Bear mine is about four miles
from the Robinson mines in Granite
Basin.

The Sound of "Kikero.v

Those of us who were at school any
time during the second half of the
present century can remember the con-
troversy, which indeed still persists,
over the pronunciation of the Latin
&C. Boys have been cruelty chaffed
for calling the author of DE Senectute"
Kikero, and cudgeled for describing as
Kaesar the conqueror of ancient Bri-
tain. The fault in any case was not
theirs. but that CT their pastors and
masters in Latinity, and in the opin-
ion of many learned authorities it was
far from being a fault. Professor
Skeat, in THE Educational Review.
for the current month, is indeed sar-
castle at the expense of those who
maintain that the soft &C. was ever
employed by the hardy inhabitants of
Latium. He asserts that: AS a mat
ter Of fact, the doctrine that &c had
always the sound of k in early and
classical Latin is the only possible as
sumption that will explain the spelling
of Latin, Anglo-Saxon, Irish, Gaelic,
Welsh and other languages, and at the
same time suits all the manifold pro-
blems of modern languages wherever
'ce' and 'ci' happen to be involved.
Any other theory involves many dlft1-
culties of many kinds; and let it be re-
membered, in all fairness, that the only
objections to it depend upon prejudice,
ignorance and a reluctance to learn.
Many people actually hope that it can
not be true; yet it would puzzle, them
to give reason for their hope. The
fact is simply that they dislike what
they fancy to be new because it is new
to them; quite forgetting that the fact
| is 1000 years Old Indeed, it is quite
usual to hear people talk of the new
pronunciation when they really mean
the pronunciation of the time of Au-
gustus.''
Those who are unwilling to take even
so learned scholar as the professor
of Anglo-Saxon as an authority on
Latin pronunciation in the Augustan
age must turn to his article, where he
offers many reasons for his opinion, as
to which it may confidently be said
| that they are at least as convincing as
the arguments of those who support
the soft &c" before "e,' "i' and "ae"
diphthong. The matter is not exactly
burning one. Latin is more read than
talked nowadays, and we can enjoy
our Horace or our Catullus just as
much with or without a "crib" to aid
us) whether Professor Skeat's scorn for
the "old' pronunciation Aa justified or
not. But we may fairly assert that
to the majority Of cultivated ears the
sound of "Sisero' is as much more
agreeable than that of "Nikero" as the
perfume of a rose is more pleasing to
| their olfactory nerve than that Of a
tiger lily. Of course, it is 'all mat
ter of taste" But taste, after all, is
something more than prejudice, even
if there is no formula for its assay.
Therefore, even if Atticus did call his
friend Kikero, we in these days of free
dom may go on calling him Cicero with
out serious injury to him or to our
/ lselVes-London Morning Post.

THE BLACK OAK.
Sonora Union Democrat: In this
mine everything is moving smoothly,
as 1t does year in and out, with the
only difference that the always good
ore is yielding more gold than ever.
Sinking is being steadily prosecuted IN
the main shaft, which is now down 500
feet, and at this point, while miners
are driving for still greater depths,
others will cross-cut the vein, put in
a station and begin drifting on the vein.
The major portion of the ore at pres
ent being sent to the surface comes
from the north drift of the 500, though
much milling quartz is sent out from
the levels above. A new wo-compart-
ment shaft has also been started on
what is known as the Live Oak ground,
an extension of the Black Oak, which
is down about ten feet. AS in the case

El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1899-09-16

THE other day, in a letter to Chair
man Dick of the Ohio republican state
executive committee, Secretary of
State Hay made an emphatic statement
controverting the allegation made by
the democrats that the United State
and England are secretly allied. This
statement has been embodied recently
in platforms, notably that of the Ohio
democrats. OF course it is absur
to suppose that such an
alliance could exist without the
full knowledge of the American
people. Our government is 80 con-

structed that diplomatic secrets are
virtually impossible. It is probable
that even those who have reiterated
this charge do not believe what they
are saying. However, it is as we'll
that specific statement should come
from an official source, thus effectually
spiking the guns of the administra-
tion's enemies. The words of Mr..
Hays letter are so clear that they ad-
NIT OF only one inter
probation. He says: "Ihere
ia no alliance with England,
nor with any power under heaven, ex-
! cept those known and publishe to the
world, the treaties of ordinary inter
national friendship for the purpose OF
advancing commerce. No other treaty
than those existing now has been sug-
gested from the other side; none is in
contemplation. It has never entered
into theimind of the president nor any
OF the government to forsake. under
any inducement, the wise precept and
example of the fathers, which forbade
entaugling alliances with European
powers. "Americsns and Englishmenare
glad to see the growth of good feeling
between the two greatest nations OF
the world, and certain it is that mutual
regard has vastly increased during the
last two years. There exists no doubt
q disposition to work more in harmony
with each other in international az
fairs. This has been brought about by
the increase of good will and real
friendship. and also by the potent in
fuence exercised by the community of
our financial. trade, and diplomatic in
terests, which are frequent
in ways that could not
have been foreseen decade ago. But
so far as any real alliance or formal
agreement is concerned, there Is none,
and no responsible individual or po-
litical party in this country has ever
seriously advocated such thing. 1t is
likely that with the course of years our
relations with England will become
more friendly, and a true alliance may
eventually be formed, but the time is
not yet ripe and neither England nor
the United States is willing to take
the initiative. Certainly the United |
States has no desire to
itself with England or any
other foreign power, for we have much
to lose and little to gain by taking such |
q step. Thus it is clear that the charge |
brought up by the enemies of the sd-
is absolutely with founda-
ton and has been sdduced solely for |
the purpose of .prejudicing few ig-
norant people against the sdministra-
ton. tits an unworthy motive. it is
dishonest politics, and should react
upon its authors disastrously.
