why Franklin Did Not Write It.
.sIt has always been a curious
puzzle why Franklin. the man of
ripe age, Of commanding distinction
and of approved literary skill. was
not selected to write this decla ration
instead of Thomas Jeff-. son, then
only thirty tn rec years ola aud COM
paratively unknown" says John
Gilmer Speed, in the Saturday
Evening Post. ..It could no, be
that Franklin was passed by be-
cause he had done every thing within
his power to avert the war and re
concile the differences between the
Colonies and the Mother Country,
for all wise men in the Colonies did
all tina, honor permitted in that
direction until the die was cast No,
it was not a fear Of Franklin's
earnestness in the cause of the
Colonies-it was probably the fear
of Franklin's humor.
''He was not only the greatest
man of his time, but he was one of
the greatest humorists of any time
And 50 his associates were possibly
afraid that he would put joke in
the Declaration, and passed him BY
and selected the lank young Vir-
ginian with the freckled face.
Gas it was, Franklin did have his
joke, for when the members of Con-
gress were about to sign the Decla-
ration, Hancock. whose earnestness
is expressed in the bold signature
which comes first, said in his own
earnest way: we must be unani-
nous; there must be no pulling diff
ferent ways; we must all hang to-
gether.'
eyes, repiled Franklin, we must.
hang together or we snail he pretty

tion OF the farmer in answering the
questions. If the presumption is
strongly against his meaning
what the schedule says, the
office will try to learn by correspond
ence with the Supervisor, or the
Enumerator, or the farmer himself,
what the real facts were.
If the farming public will continue
to cooperate with the heartiness
already displayed, this effort will re-
suit in q more trustworthy census
of farms than has ever been taken.
Farmers, as a class, are less able to
cooperate than the representatives
of any other great industry. Hence
the Census Office can do more for
them than il can for centralized lines
of business, which can and do make
their own investigations, and it will
do its best to present a full and ac-
curate photograph of this lead
ing occupation. The Director
of the Census urges every one inter-
ested to aid the work.

SAGE BRUSH.

When Thomas Edison visited Ne
vada years ago he remarked as he
rode over the sagebrush plains:
God never put SO much of any,
thing in one place unless he intended
it for the use of man. Some day
some one will discover qualities in
this sagebrush which will make it a
valuable commercial proposition"
Hon. Thomas Wren has made a
good many experiments with sage
brush as factor in tanning. He
finds that ii contains the best and
most powerful tanning in existence.
He insists that some day it will be
used exclusively in tanning the finer
grades of leather.
Experiments have also been made
with it proving its great value as a
hair renovator, and it has medicinal
properties which are invaluable in
the treatment of colds and fevers.
The Indians insist that it cures all
ailments known to them. Some day
sagebrush will be sagebrush and a
few acres of it will be worth consid-
erable as a money proposition.-Car-
son Appeal.

Attempted suicide.

The Silver State says Mrs. Ellen
Wilkins attempted suicide at Battle
Mountain Monday night. She took
a dose of poison, but her life was
saved by the efforts of a physician
and his stomach pump.
Mrs. Wilkins was the central
figure of San Francisco sensation
about nine months ago. 1t will be
remembered that she applied for q
divorce from bird tanner, whom
she claimed to have married while
under the influence Of hypnotism.
She went to San Francisco for the
purpose of answering the mans
advertisement for a wife, and married
him, but tired of her bargain in 6
few days.

The Salt Lake Tribune says: The
local copper market recorded another
advance yesterday and ruled at l5fs
cents, with many premonitions, ac-
cording to Eastern authorities, of still
further gains. A report from Boston
is that all copper mining interests
are bullish, and that II cents is freely
bid. which is equivalent to IN cents
for all rail copper. The Boston News
Bureau quotes a prominent operator
as follows: 81 confess cannot COM
prehend the apparent apathy mani
tested toward copper shares under the
existing conditions OF the market for
the metal. sold today at II cents
for May delivery by boat. My obser-
vation OF the copper share market
shows me that it is subject to extremes
OF excitement and OF depression.

Claimants Will be Compelled TO
Perfect Their Applications.

Claimants Will be Compelled to
Perfect Their Applications.
The United States General Land
Office has issued circular to all
district land offices. requiring them
to make out and transmit a list of all
mining claims upon which patents
we're applied for prior to January 1.
1899, but which applications we're
not pushed to final entry.
This is the preliminary step to the
formulation of law that will re-
quire claimants to perfect their ap-
plications within one year after the
enactment of the law, on penalty of
forfeiting their claims.
1t is estimated that less than one
half OF one per cent of the mining
claims located are ever patented
and that less than five per cent OF
the locations are ever improved 500
worth annually, as required by
existing statutes. Some hangers-on
make business of swindling claim
owners by swearing to do the neces-
sary work on their claims, while one
twentieth of 500 would more than
pay for all the work done in a series
of years. Some of these men make
proofs of labor" upon 20, 80, or
more claims. who are never known to
take shovel in hand or dig a pick
in the ground.
The aim of the new law will be to
stop all of this.
