For man who spent good money
for q colonels uniform, Mr.. Bryan's
opposition to militarism can only be
explained by the poor fit his tailor
must have given him.
The boy, Coin Harvey, will find
the present campaign can get along
without a new edition of his great
work of how to get rich by multiple
cation.
The Supreme Court of the United
States is still doing business at the
same old stand.
1t may be assumed with a good de-
gree of confidence that this campaign
will not be as profitable for Mr.. Bry-
an as was the last. The people will
be slow TO part with their good mon
ey to hear hard luck stories.
When the returns are counted next
November the Democrats would do

Hon. John Fl. Reagan, made a
stirring expansion speech to the
Texas Democrats, but Bub Bailey

The issue on the shipping question

LIQUOR DRINKING IN FRANCE.

The extent to which the oonsump-
ton of liquor enters into the prob
lem of the social life of France may
be seen from the the statement that
member of the French commission
for the study of questions affecting
the working classes declared short
time ago that he and his colleagues.
in the econscientiousd discharge of their
duties, took a number of meals at
different restaurants in Paris and
other cities frequented by laboring
men and they noticed that fully two
thirds of the money paid for meals
by the customers of these establish
ments was paid for liquor Paris
has now a least twice as many houses
as before the war of 1870 and prob
ably the same proportionate increase
holds with reference to other Sec
tions of France.

A Wild, Wild Gold story.

Norman MacAuley returned from
the Klondike recently and was exhib-
iting to his friends a large golden mug
get valued at $6445, which was taken
from the rich property he owns on
Gay Gulch. Mr.. MacAuley tells of the
riches of Claim AS, on the Sulphur,
which is known to be the richest min
ing claim in the world. The owner,
whose name Mr. MacAuley could not
recall, is a German, and he will before
long be the richest of all the rich
Klondike mining kings.
The claim is now producing at the
rate of $4,000 each day, or, if the
mine was worked 300 days a year
$10,S00000 in gold every year. The
claim is a wonderfully rich one; It has
a pay streak 10 feet thick, which ex-
tends the full width of the creek, or
over 100 feet. The average per bucket
runs as high as SO day and the ever
age output of the mine is 5000 buck
cts every day.
The output for this year is figured
by many, says Mr.. MacAuley, at $780,

FooLING WITH THE CoNsCIENoE.

FoOLING WITH THE CONSCIENCE.
Sin does not usual y march up to
the fortress it would capture with
flags flying and drums beating, but
it burrows underground, and comes
up to the citadel before the garrison
knows it is near. Most of as, VIII en-
we do go wrong, do it ignoring alto
gether the right or wrong of the
thing we are going to do, and some
timos we go so far that we persuade
ourselves there is no reason why we
should not do this. All, yes 1.-THE
arrow that flieth in darkness" is the
arrow to be afraid of "rhe pestil-
ence that walketh in darkness" is
the pestilence which slays it's tens
of thousands. The first lie that sin
tells me is: "Come along, there is
not bit of harm I'M it. You may do
it quit safely. 1 will not say it is
right, but certainly it is not wrong.
Come ~
You can do almost anything you
like with your consciences in the
way of getting them to condone or
to sanction evil, except this one
thing which nobody can do-you can
never get conscience to say: "It is
right to do wrong"

The English government has recent
ly prohibited in India the peculiar
hazard game called "Barsa ka satta."
This game cannot be played except
when it rains, for, in fact 1t consists
of betting on the date of rain and the
quantity that may descend from the
skies.
On all the porticos, or "altans," as
they are called in India, there are GER
tain tubs introduced which have per-
pendicular pipe in their centres, the
pipe being provided with equal divi-
sion marks or notches.
The point of the game is to deter
mine in advance just at what time
certain height will be reached by the
water.
The natives have pursued this meth
cd of gambling with such passion that
quarrels, and dangerous ones, often
resulted, and hence the ruling of the
English government to make the play

COPPER MINES.
Some That Were Worked Thousands
Of Years Before the Christian Era.

Some That Were Worked Thousands
Of Years Before the Christian Era.
The copper mines of Sinai, on the
northwest of Arabia. were worked
thousands of years before the Chris
tian era. 1t Is stated in "Comptes Rem
dus' that those copper mines are the
most ancient of which history makes
mention. According to authentic docu-
ments they were worked from about
5000 years b. c. until about 1900 or
1,200 B. G. Their possession have been
the object of several wars, but they
had been abandoned for 1900 years on
account of the poverty of the ores. 1t
was from these mines that was OBJ
tanned a scepter Of Pepi l., King Of
the Sixth Dynasty. This scepter, made
of pure copper, is preserved in the
British Museum. The adlts still exist
as well as the ruins of the furnaces,
the crucibles, the huts of the miners
and some fragments of their tools. In
some of the specimens obtained there
occur three ores-turquoise, copper
hydrosillcate and sandstones, impreg-
mated with copper. Among the debris
have been found slags and cinders,
but there is no evidence of the use Of
fluxes Some Of the fragments of tools
contain arsenic which was used by
the Greek and Egyptian alchemists
for hardening copper.

AN ExoELLENT RULE.

John Wesley's mother once wrote
to him when he was in college (;
"Would you judge by the lawfulness
or the unlawfulness of pleasure,
take this rulo: Whatever weakens
your reason, impairs the tenderness
OF yOnr conscience, obscures your
sense Of God. or takes off the relish
Of spiritual things; whatever increas-
es the authority of your body over
your mind, that thing to you is sin. ="

drives when he closely escaped death.

the small boy when he drove into the
wIter, Deeper and deeper the wagon
went into the stream when the driver
was suddenly shocked to hear "a lusty
yell from the rear of the wagon and
looking back saw small head visible
above the wagon bed. The boy was
clinging for dear life to the wagon
and his feet were curled up benea h
the floor. He was in water up to his
shoulders The driver went back and
helped the lad into the wagon, but u
few yards farther and there would
have been nothing lett of him.

The REGISTER is sorry to learn that
the Citizens State Bank, of Yates
Center, was closed last week on the
finding of the bank examiner. 1t Is
reported that he found the accounts
several thousand dollars short and
ordered the closing, which was the
first intimation the people of the town
had that anything was wrong, The
bank was the depository for the coun-
ty, which had about $l4 900 in its
vaults. Twenty business men and
farmers are on the BANKS bond as
security to the county, but 1t is not
known as yet that they will have to
make up any deficit. The individual
deposits were in small sums and ag-
gregate about $4,000 This leaves
one bank, the Yates Center Bank,
alone in the field.
The Citlzens' State Bank was organ
lied few years ago by local citizens
and by the Buffalo bank directors
who moved their bank to the Center
and reorganized the old National Bank
which failed in the hard times of 1893
Its president was w. IL. Waymire,
and its cashier was Il. A. Runyan. 1t
was considered the old, substantial
bank of the county.
