such a m~eritorious production as The

HAVE A DIFFICULT TASK.
Spies in the British Army Run Many
Risks and Are Ever known
to Each Other.

One Of the most difficult tasks of the
British commanders in South Africa
is to secure the services of Trustworthy
spies who can furnish reliable informa-
ton of the situation and movements of
the enemy. Out of every ten spies en-
ployed by the British officer command
ing a war district he is fortunate If
one gives him truthful information.
It Is most important thing that spies
should not be known to each other.
Great care is ttVsen by officers that
each one shall imagine that he is the
only one which is employed. It is very
necessary that all genuine spies should
have about their person some means Of
proving themselves really to be what
they represent. For this purpose coin
OF q certain date, Bible of certain
edition, Testament with the ninth or
twentieth leaf torn out are generally
employed
By this means q spy who was en-
ployed by an officer in q neutral state,
making his way to the headquarters
OF the army in the field, could at once
make himself known to the intelli-
gence department there. In some In
stances it is considered that pass
word or sign should be employed. as it
is less compromising.

WOMEN AND MINING
Z Number OF instances Which sA0v
That Sex Is No Bar to Prac-
tical Prospecting.

Practically mining does not seem to
suggest itself as field In which women
can achieve distinction, but the con-
stantly increasing number of woman
mine owners In Colorado and other
mining states, proves that there is no
reason why the women of the future
ground In this important department
of industry, says the Denver Repub-
ican. Many mines in Colorado are
owned by women and some are even
directed by their feminine owners, who
have quickly adapted themselves to
the work.
Two or three years ago school
teacher, while spending her vacation
in Arizona, located some promising
claims through her knowledge of ge.
ology. She secured some good speci
mems, sold her locations in Denver, and
then turned professional prospector
She has followed the business with
persistence and intelligence, and is nov
making most excellent livelihood
with good prospects of securing for

district. The location had been made
by the woman and she had stood BY
them for seven years until she finally
negotiated sale. She secured $125, OOt
as her share, the buyers being English
and French capitalists.
Such instances prove that sex is ne
bar TO practical prospecting, and in {
few years the report of the labor com
missioner may show the army of WON
en- workers materially increased by {
large number Of feminine mineralo
gists, chemists, prospectors and mine
owners.

ENGLAND'S POSTAL WORK.
United States Agent Says It Fa1
6uFDasses That Of
America.

George W. Beavers, chief Of the sal
aries and allowance division of the
United States post Office department,
has completed his inves; IN ton Of the
English postal system, and Aas gone
to Paris, where he Is to institute the
American postal station at the ex-
position.
'England's postal SERVICE" he said,
lis better than that of the United
States, in so far as London is con-
cerned. The delivery of mail In this
city, find, is more expeditions than
In Chicago or New York, fact due
to the larger number Of clerks and
carriers employed here. We need
about 25 per cent. more employees to
make the American service in the
large centers of population what il
ought to be.
"Our rural delivery, on the other
hand, Is much better than that In
England. The post Office department
here concentrates its resources for
London's benefits, while ell the mali
for the small towns is sent to the dis
trict distributing office; whereas, in
the United States we send ell mail
direct to its destination. I am COM
ipelled to say that, judging from what
have seen, some American post Office
employees do as n9uch before nine
o'clock in the morning as British en-
ployes Of the same grade do all day"

Some of the bright young men OF
Hoisington. on whose upper lip is
Just forming hirsute accumulation
which looks like streak of dirt on
white door knob, are reminded that
it is no. at all gentlemanly to hang
around the out side of church en-
frances on Sunday evenings and
when services are over and the con-
gregation passing out, sneak up to the
side of young lady, like sick kitten
to a hot brick, and ask permission to
escort her home, or perhaps grab her
arm and walk off without asking.
The manly way to do is to 60 to the
young lady>s home, obtain her consent
to attend church with her, go there
and sit inside during the services and
escort her home in a gentlemanly and
respectable manner.

turned home on Wednesday.
We understand that John Wood.

About twenty car loads of eggs,
wheat and livestock were shipped
from this point last week by local
dealers, which we think is pretty
good showing for this time of year.
Last week was movers week in

THE plan suggested, that the
matter of choice between Mr..
Duval and Mr.. Cambell in the
18th and Mr.. Dykes and Mr..
Scott in the 9Th district, be
submitted to a primary election,
is not a bad one. If the voters
of the two districts who are
earnest in their desire for success
at the polls in November would
turn out to a primary and
designate their choice of a
candidate between the men now
nominated there certainly would
be no reason why the other
candidates should stay in the
race.
