the railroad comes.
The prospect for the range is
bright. The prospect for a rail-
road in the near future is causing
more interest in the mines. New
prospectors are coming in and
new men are looking up mining
properties. The indications are
that the Black Range is going tc

Hints for Women Doctors.

A well-known physician in New
York city, who during small lifetime
of work has accumulated a fortune,
attributes her success to "sick-room
manners" Her advice to young doc
tors is to maintain a cheerful and
sunny disposition, a hearty manner,
and bright, interesting conversation
when in the sick room. Also, that be-
fore she leaves she must not fail to
return to the subject of the patient S
illness. People who are half sick
and there are more of them than of
any other kind-are morbidly sensitive
about the condition of their ailment,
and the popularity of the physician de-
pends greatly on her manner. Another
successful physician claims that an
important phase of the doctors sick
room conduct is never to be in a hur-
ry. No matter how great the provo
cation might be to hurry, she must
never appear to do so. The tiniest
appearance Of neglect or indifference
will ruffle the patients temper, and
the physician is likely to lose.

Two Stories of Lawyers.

The logic of wit is the most destruc-
tive logic that is employed against err
ror. This was aptly illustrated at a
public reception given few nights
ago, at which learned lawyer, who
is slightly lame in his right foot, was
present. The advocate overheard a
lady say to her companion, "That is
Mr.. C, the lame lawyer"
Turning around he replied, "No,
madam, I am lame man, but not q
lame lawyer"
An amusing incident occurred in
one of the common pleas courts the
other day. The lawyer for the de-
tense was making a very lengthy cross
examination of an old lady, when he
was interrupted by the Judge with the
remark: 'I think you have exhausted
this witness"
"Yes, judge" she exclaimed, ST do
feel very much exhausted. ."-Philadel.

She the only sufferer? What could
she mean?
For a moment wild hope crossed
his mind, to be extinguished the next
as he glanced into the calm face and
the eyes whence all trace of tears had
fed, but at the hall door a moment
later he paused.
He would return to disabuse her
mind of this idle folly as to his en-
gagement. So, again crossing the hall
and mounting the stairs, he stood upon
the threshold of the room he had left
so short a time before. But, o. how
changed,
Down upon her face lay the figure OF
the girl who had haunted him all these
years, while sob after sob racked her
frame.
His revenge was in his hand at last
The moment had come to mock her as
she had Knocked him; but surely the
light growing in his eyes had no mock
ing ray, as he clasped the sobbing girl
close to his heart.
SIS this true, my darling?" he said.
"And has our game been cross-pur-
poses all this weary time? o, Nellie,
my pride would have kept me silent
had you not shown me your secret.
had meant, darling, to teach you, II
could, to love me, but 1 forgot had
learned the lesson long ago-a lesson
whose sweet teachings will guard all
my future life"
Thus, with lip pressed to lip, and
heart to heart, her sobs now sobs of
happiness, Thornton May wreaked his
revenge.-Spare Moments.

book, and small mirror. At the foot
of the bed is washstand, with two
bowls and few toilet articles. On
the transom of the alcove is each
cadets name, which must also appear
over his clothes press and pegs. Guns
have separate rack.
Two cadets occupy room. The
selection of room mates is left to the
cadets themselves, the authorities
claiming no jurisdiction.
Each cadet takes his turn as room
orderly weekly. The orderly is re-
sponsible for the general order and
cleanliness of the room. He must see
that the ventilation is perfect, that the
lights go out at taps. Upon him rests
the responsibility of dust appearing
on the shelves. He must not allow
his room mate or any visitor to stand
at the window in shirt sleeves, and
whatever is done in the room he
stands accountable for.
Formerly cadets were compelled to
scrub the floors of their rooms, but
civilians are now employed for that
purpose. This is the only evidence
OF luxury that has cropped up at West
Point during the century of its exist
ence.

ESmplCity Of Cadet Life
! at West Point Academy.

Spartan simplicity is the predomin-
ant feature of cadet rooms at West
Point. They are furnished alike.
There are no decorations in one that
cannot be found in all the others. A
millionaire's son has no more privil-
eges than the poorest lad whose brains
and physical perfection secured his
appointment.
No furniture or ornaments are al
lowed in rooms except those called for
by the regulations. Everything in q
cadets room is purchased out of the
pay he receives from the government.
No ornaments are allowed on the
walls. but few photographs may be
placed on the top shelf of the clothes
press. Each cadet must make up his
bed after reveille. Mattresses and
blankets are folded neatly and piled
against the head. Shoes are lined
parallel on the floor by the side of the
bed. An alcove furnished with hooks
provides place for uniforms. The
hooks are numbered for each garment.
Nigh clothes and one clothes bag for
each cadet hang on pegs next to the
bed. A small clothes press, having
four shelves, stands against the wall
near the door. This rress holds the
remaining belongings of the occu-
pants.

Eness ran to the center of the square
and sung her challenge, which sound
ed very much like "Tobegontobegon-
tobegon," but when repeated slower
for my benefit it sounded like "to be
gone," thrice repeated.
The square in which the game was
played was something like the accom-
panying diagram, only it was in the
sand and the 'Iaha" lines were made
by bare foot. When the toe of the
shoe declared that Eness was SIT" the
rest gathered about her-Bitruana
and Bralsidis and Olihay and Vahedis.
Then Eness shouted "Tobegontobe-
gontobegon" and the other girls
darted away to their corners. The
game was for Eness to touch one of
the others as she passed over the
''laha" lines, and then that one should
be out of the game. The last one
caught should "stand' the next time.
And I want to say that it was just II
jolly play, and one out of which each
player got lots of exercise.
First Bitruana sidled mp to the line
and Eness made dash at her, and as
she did so Olihay skipped across on
her side, and when Eness darted back
that way, Vahedis and Bralsedis
crossed sidewise and Eness was where
she started. Each girl screamed with
excitement, but the hand of Eness did
not touch any one, and all Strengthened
up to catch breath.
Eness was probably the most sup
pie one there and she danced out to-
ward Olihay, crying detiantly, ITO
begontobegontobegon!" but Olihay
took backward step and was out of
harms way-in the part marSed
''safe" in the diagram. This gave
Bitruana chance, and she founced
her Bretty skirts across the line Just

The two thumbs represents 6, the
index fingers each represent 7, the
middle fingers s, the ring fingers 9,
and the little fingers 10.
To multiply any two of these num-
bers the fingers representing the
multiplier and the multiplicand are
placed together. Beginning with the
fingers placed together, one counts
the number of fingers, including these
two and moving toward and including
the thumb. The sum will be the num-
Der of tens, or the first numeral of thu

A certain number of fingers stils
remain below the fingers which have
been joined. The fingers remaining
on one hand multiplied by the num-
Der remaining on the other will give

The administration in Mexico Of
President Diaz has been marked by
an industrial and general progress
which can only be traced to his gen.
erous recognition of industries from
abroad. Under the influences which
he has set in motion, Mexico has
evolved from tsing land of feuds
and revolutions, to be a respected
government both on this continent
and in Europe. With the Mexicans
our relations should be of the kindli-
est and closest business character
fully recognizing all of their good
qualities, and feeling sure that we
will be so treated in turn.

bahia. FaVurits game
! Of Filipino Children.
How It is Played.

Children are a happy lot almost
anywhere, and the Filipino picka-
ninnies are no exception to the rule.
They laugh and shout just like other
children and play their games. Some
thing like tag is very popular, and
then there is a play called "laha" in
Tagalog, which is the language of the
country folk and the fishermen and
all the natives who are not living in
Spanish families.
Laha is the game some of my little
neighbors were playing Saturday after
school, writes Harry A. Armstrong,
the Manila correspondent of the Chi
cago Record. 1 went to take pict-
ure, and when they saw the camera
there was scattering, and 1t mp
peared as if L had broken up the
game. But this was not so, for pres
entity the lively troop came back. One
little girl, however, was very tardy
and the others waited for her. After
awhile she came, all dressed up in o
"husa" cloth gown, which trailed out
behind. Over her shoulders she had
thrown a pima shawl. She seemed
very proud OF her inery and her poses
appeared very self-conscious, but per-
haps that was due to the stiff gown,
which reached to the ground. The
accompanying picture shows her and
her gown as the children threw the
shoe to see who should "stand." The
toe of the shoe was to tell, and it fell
pointing to Eness, graceful girl of
eight years, and full of life and sport.

The New Government Printing ONCE

The New Government Printing ONCE.
The new Government Printing Of
fee will cost about 100000 and it
is said that even after it's completion
it will not be large enough to meet the
demands upon it. The new building
will be eight stories in height, and its
floor space will be about nine acres.
The floors will sustain load of 3d.
000, 200 pounds. The building will
be constructed in such substantial
manner that the entire space can be
filled with paper and books without
iniuring its stability in any degree.
Access to the various floors will be OBJ
tained by twelve electric elevators.
The building will be lighted with 1000
incandescent lights. A refrigerating
plant will furnish cold filtered water
on every floor for driking purposes.
A large crematory will destroy all the
refuse material, and this will aid in
heating water, etc. 1t is hoped in
time that Congress will appropriate
the money for modern typesetting ma
chimes, but it is probable that when
the census is complete and the reports
published, the equipment of the CEN
sus printing office will revert to the

There is a reality in the friendships
of families who for two or three gem
erations have lived in the quiet init
macy which has deepened by years of
helpful sympathy in varying Joys and
sorrows; each is to the other a certain

reavement, over-full homes overflow

CUPID'S REVENGE.

Your wife, Thornton? Why, It
seems only yesterday you were carry
ing my books to school. What do boys
know of love?"
And Nellie Rivers glanced innocently
up into the face of him she addressed
as innocently as though she had not
known for many month the question
Just put to her had been trembling on
his eager lips.
A hot flush dyed Thornton Mays
cheeks at her words. A flash of anger
leaped into the dark eyes, a moment
before so tenderly passionate.
"Flirt! Heartless!" burst in NUT
tered whisper from the young mans
white lips. Then he rose with a dig
nifty which seemed suddenly to have
sprung into life. Without even ex-
tending his hand, with simply low
bow of courtesy, he left her, she sitting
motionless, the echo of the closing of
the outside door ringing in her ears
strangely like a knell.
"They say Thornton May is engaged
What wonderful strides he has made
In his art!"
Wonderful, indeed. But who is the
fortunate winner of such a prize?"
"a Spanish girl whom he met abroad
His last picture, about which every one
is raving, is said to be her counter
part"
Such was the idle conversation at an
evening party which fell upon Nellie
Rivers listening ear.

atonement for the PASTOR the folly
of a girl, who did not know herself
and who had learned the lesson only
through four years of bitter suffering,
of which this was the end.
Dreaming, Miss Nellie, and alone?
What does this mean?"
1t was his voice which broke upon
her reyerie, his eyes resting on her,
from whom, at any cost, she mast hide
the truth.
II am growing DID," she answered,
lightly. Like yourself I have put
away childish thing, though, unlike
you, l have not assumed fresh re-
sponsibilties, upon which, by the way,
l believe you are to be congratulated,
although you hardly deserve it for
keeping such a secret from your
friends"
"You speak in enigmas. OF what do
you speak?"
''If SO, it is a Spanish enigma, and
painted in lovely characters, however
cabalistic they may be-"
"O,' sudden light breaking in upon
him, you speak of my picture. And
does rumor give her to me as my
bride? | am indeed, then, open 20 your
congratulations. But come, as l am
not yet Benedict, may l not have this
waltz"
'And this is my revenge?" thought
Thornton May, as a few hours later
he sat alone in his bachelor apart
ments moodily surveying the dying
embers in the CRATE. Il, who fancied
her voice could no longer thrill or her
beauty move me, have but riveted the
chains l thought struck off from me
forever. Tonight how indifferently
she congratulated me upon my sup
posed engagement! Had things been
different how chsrmingly my pretty
model might have helped out my plan!

my weakness, ! once more give her the
right to mock me-"
Going away Mr. May? Have you
tired so soon of your old friends that
you must desert them? But forget
some one is waiting for you"
Yes" he answered Il must once
more say good-by, but this time, Miss
Nellie, l hope you will add godspeed.
I have not forgotten our last parting,
| though l hope my folly has long
ceased to be remembered You were
right 1t was boys presumption, and
| l must thank you for my lesson"
This was almost more than she
could bear. For the moment tears
shimmered in the dark eyes, a sob rose
in her throat but she answered brave
ly:

to mark the numerals on the ends of
