His Great Work.

A Chicago man who has written a
book was telling about it the other
day to friend who had once done him
service.
SPY the way" said the author, II
would be delighted to give you copy
of my work, if you care for it. -
81 should be more than pleased to
have it, was the reply especially if
you will write your name in it,
"All right. There's book store
just around the corner. II you will
accompany me we will go there and
get it. l don't happen to have copy
in my Office just now."
After they had stopped to glance at
some of the new things in the book
store the author hailed a clerk, and
pushing his chest out very far asked
for the novel that he had written.
eyes, SIR" the clerk said, 1--WE
have it around here somewhere, 1 be-
lieve, but you are the first one who has
ever asked for copy, and it may take
me some time to find it. Wouldn' It
something else do just as well? We
have great many better books at the
same price. Chicago Times-Herald.

which has been swept away by erasion
and other elementary action, leaving
the table-lands, as it is called, in isolat-
ed patches.
Either the whole mountain and
plateau formation must have existed
in their present form before the up
lift of our continent and the subsistence
of the waters, or my conclusions are
correct. to wit:
The great mountain chain was ice
capped to height almost impossible
of conceiving at the present time;
again, almost every step we took in
the hills and on the mountain sides,
the evidence of great pressure is en-
countered, let alone any secondary for
nations, but in the primary rocks.
What the primitive rocks were, has
always been debatable question
amongst geOlogists. For our present
purpose we will assume that granite is
a primitive rock, although this rock,
must have stood, assuming that the
globe is cooled off from fiery vapor
holding in its heated center cauldron
7490 miles in diameter.

HAVE TO GIVE 1T UP.
No More Good Times in Country School
Houses.

houses,
For years it has been the custom in
country school districts, where the
schoolhouse was the only available
building in which dances and other
social events could be had, to obtain
the use of the schoolroom from the
trustees for all such gatherings, but
that is all past now, and the trustees
must henceforth deny the usual ap-
peal of the pretty school ma m to al
low q dance in their institution of
learning so that teacher and parents,
not to say anything of the "big broth
ers, may understand each other bet
ter; that they may greet one another
and become better acquainted, and
many other things which are sure to
be presented by the petitioner to con-
vince the trustees that her views are
correct.
This has all resulted from the follow
ing sentence which has been issued by
State Superintendent of Public In
struction Thomas J. Kirk: "a public
schoolhouse cannot be used for any
purpose which necessitates the removal
of seats, desks or other school furni-
ture.
This will probably induce the young
men of each school district to make an
effort to have building erected suit
ments. OF course the young people
cannot give up their good times for a

To Clean Old Coins and Medals.

The following process is recon-
mended by the Jewellers Circular for
cleaning coins or medals of silver or
bronze without impairing their numis-
matte value: Prepare bath COM
posed of nine parts of rain water and
one part of sulphuric acid. Place the
coins in this bath for the time re-
quired to dissolve the sulphide which
has blackened them. Five to ten min
utes are usually sufficient. After re-
moving them, plunge them into clear
water; next. wash them with soap,
using soft brush. When they are
clean move them about once in the
water dry them with soft cloth and
finally give them another treatment
with chamois cloth without rubbing

LOVE AND MONEY CLASH.
A scheming Young Widow Uses the
Influence of Amador.

A scheming Young Widow Uses the
Influence of Amador.
1t seems that the fame of Amador
county mining acts as a charm to the
unwary in the schemes of the swindler,
even when sweet young widow is the
perpetrator.
A case of this kind has been dis
covered in San Francisco, James
Leeper, the victim, falling into the
meshes of the net held by Mrs. Martha
E. Browhard. Some weeks ago Mrs.
Browhard, who is known to the police
through her financial schemes, adver-
tised through a matrimonial journal
that young widow of considerable
property wished TO meet laboring
man with matrimonial intentions.
James Leeper responded, and she sug-
gested that he go to Amador county
and look after her interests. Before his
departure she requested that he make a
cash deposit to assure her of his good
faith. A lodging-house owned by
Leeper was sold by Mrs. Browhard for
$500 and the fair widow retained the
amount Leeper came to Amador
county on what proved to be "fool's
errand."
He returned to San Francisco, told
her he would forgive all if she would
consent to their marriage, but his re-
ception was of an arctic temperature.
She refused to refund the coin and he
swore to a complaint charging her
with "felony, obtaining money under
false pretense, but when the arresting
officer arrived the bird had flown.
Detectives Ryan and O'Dea followed
her to Sacramento and brought her
back to San Francisco Tuesday. She
says she is a real estate agent, and was
released on $1,000 cash bail.
Mrs. Browhard was instructed and
arraigned in Judge Conlan's court
on Thursday of last week. At the re-
quest of her attorney the case was con-
tinued for week, as a number of wit
nesses had to be brought from Amador
county.
Another man was in court who said
Mrs. BrOwhard had swindled him out
of $1,000 in the same way, but he re-
fused to give his name or swear out a
warrant for her arrest.
