The Queens VIII.

The will of Queen Victoria will not
be proved, for the probate court has
no power over the testament of the
sovereign, and there exists no ma
chinery by which probate can be
granted. The exact contents of the
will will, therefore, not be made
known to the public. though doubtless
some information will be forthcom-
ing as to the general tenor of the
document. The only royal will which
has been published since that of
Henry VIII. is, we believe, that of
George I.-London Globe.

"My father died in delirium
tremens, and 1 have a brother in
prison for drinking and gambling, so
that 1 am doing my best to help sup
port my mother. L go to 6unday
school, where l have made promise
never to taste, touch nor handle
strong drink of any sort"
''Well, don't believe you ever will,
my boy" replied the senator, en-
couragingly, IF you always exhibit
the sort of courage you are showing
now. 1t is unusual, and to be honest
with you, haven't anything like ami
mostly toward you for taking such a
manly stand. I'm always glad to
meet such a boy, but 1 certainly
never expected to meet one here.
Someone ought to have told you that
you would be called upon to order
drinks for guests, because most peo-
pie would not be likely to take your
refusal too easily. Still, l am always
willing to learn from anyone, and by
the way, you have suddenly reminded
me of something that once took place
in my own life that 1 had very nearly
forgotten. l do not drink myself, but
when my friends call they generally
expect liquor of some sort. They
must do without to-day. So, if you
will just order some water and
glasses you may consider yourself
the winner"
To say the winner" was overcome
would be putting it rather mildly.
He calculated: ''Oh, thank you,
Senator Robinson" and was moving
away, when
Hold on called the senator.
"You won't be able to stay here, you
know, with the principles you hold.
I know just where such a boy as
yourself is badly needed. Give me
your address, and I'll not forget"
When the little rebel who had won
so startling victory went to the Of
fee and surrendered his position it
was only to accept, later on, an en-
viable position of trust in hospital
of the senator's own founding. The
senator looked out for him, and

Fierce Fight of BuhnIoes

Four large buffalo bulls at Golden
Gate park engaged in fierce fight
early one morning recently, which
resulted in the death of one of the
finest buffaloes, which had been born
and reared in the park The fight
lasted more than an hour. The angry
bulls paired off and fought by twos
until one showed signs of WEAKNESS,
when all three jumped on this unfor-
tunate and soon gored it to death

came forth from his tent He had
been fasting for three days and was
very weak. He called in a loud voice
that all YVES in readiness to declare
the new cnieftain elected.
The camp was soon astir. Suuaws
and bucks commenced to paint and
sing songs. Everything was in a
state of excitement. AS the night
grew older the other medicine men
made their way to the tent of the
chief-to-be and sang weird songs.
At daylight the whole tribe of 300
Indians had painted and was ready to
greet the new queen.
Big Snake lifted the flap of her
tepee at sunrise and cried:
Woman, come forth"
Then Mary Big Buffalo stepped
forth. She wore only breechcloth.
Her brown skin was nearly white
from fasting. Her limbs were pale
from exhaustion. She smiled at the
reds as she marched forth between
the big medicine men and took her
seat on the grass while they gath
cred around her.
The medicine men also were clad in
naught except a white sheet which
girded them. Big Snake wore a
straw hat and linen buster which
some white man had given him. He
looked more like a Quaker than an
Indian, for his skin is nearly white.
At given signal they all COM
menced blowing on their medicine
whistles and. the other Indians, who
were interested spectators, sang
weird songs. This lasted fully two
hours, while the women sat on the
grass and performed such feats as
catching snakes apparently out of
the air ana eating them, and calling
aloud and receiving answers, which
the Indians said were entirely audible
to them, but which the white people
who witnessed the ceremony said
they could not hear at all.
Finally the dancing broke up and
the whole tribe sat down on the
grass and partook of repast of dog
meat, furnished by their new chief.
After this he went through the cere-
mony of blessing all the people of
the tribe by rubbing them on the
head, and the Inauguration was over.
The new chief will have power to
make treaties, power to Danish any
member from the tribe if he does
something which does not suit her,
and power, with the consent of ma
jority of the medicine council, to, al
lot and sell the lands.
She is 80 years old and her hus-
bang was noted warrior. She has
one child, which at the tender age
of five is said to be possessed of
much power to commune with I'M
seen powers. Spiritualism plays a
leading role among the Cheyennes
and the greater the power to see
things the higher is ones standing
in the tribe.
Because of her feats of jugglery
and claims of supernatural power,
Mary Big Buffalo was chosen chief.

REBELLION OF "FRoNT NO. a."
loyalty to a Principle Proved the
Open Door of Opportunity to
Hotel Bell Boy.

The big hotel swarmed with guests,
and Front No. certainly had enough
to keep him busy. At least, it seemed
to him as if the clerks bell was never
quiet. People were continually COM
ing and going, thronging the CORR
doris, and keeping everybody con-
nected with the house running and
hurrying about with trunks, valises,
bags, messages and errands of all
sorts. Front No. 3 had his share. He
was the new bell boy, but he prom
ised to be of the right sort, as he
proved to be alert and quick to learn.
Senator Robinson, the idol of the
district, was coming to town, and he
was booked for a banquet and
speechmaking in parlor A that very
night, and everybody from far and
near had been invited to attend and
meet the great man. 1t seemed as if
the big register would not hold all
the names of those who made appli-
cation for rooms. When the clerk
began reluctantly turning people
away, Front No. 3 knew that the only
vacant rooms left in the hotel were
those that had been reserved for the
occupancy of the senator and his
friends.
The morning had almost passed
when a cheer went up from the
crowd that had gathered outside the
doors, and as a large, genial-faced
man entered, everybody at once be-
rived. The new boy did not stare,
much as he would like to, but ran to
his side in an instant, to take charge
of the hand luggage, a privilege that
the other fellows would almost have

ENGLAND'S WOMEN.
The Difficulty They Experience in Obtaining Means of Earn
 ing Living.

One fact which stood prominently out in the statements made at the an- nuai meeting in London of the Society for Promoting the Employment of Women, because, perhaps, of the em- phasls given it by the chairman, Sir Owen Roberts, was that there were 2,0O0,u00 more women in this country than men, says the London News Ob- viously, therefore, the difficulty of ob- tainng work for such of them as had of necessity to earn thsir own living was greater even than when males had tobe dealt with. And this was increased by the comparative difficulty hitherto experienced in providing the necessary technical training for them. On this point, however, Sir Owen Robert point cd hopefully to the effort now being made by the county council in estab- fishing schools of domestic economy. he chairman also pleaded for special consideration for gentlewomen who had reached middle life without having acquired skill in work of a definite N'''' 'h's' p'ihH iHt Ni'iuthl tdstS that come under the notice of the society. Lady knightley, of Fawsley, who moved the adoption of the report which dealt with the work of the for tieth year of the society, pointed out that the market for women shorthand writers and typewriters was over stocked, and suggested that women should turn their attention to dairying and the direction of laundries

TOLD BY THE FACE.
tainty Tell a Mans Calling by His Features.

"A mans occupation or condition has more to do with making his face than most people think" observed a gentle m;rn who is somewhat of judge of character 10 a Washington Star writer. intellectual pursuits like the studies of the scholarly professions, when coupled with temperate and good moral habits of life, brighten the face and give the person a refined and superior look. Maguanimity of nature or the love Of study and art will make a bright. glad face, but, contrary tO this, man may have face that does not please anybody, because of a love of self to the exclusion of others, notwithstanding his learning and worldly shr,wdnesS. Soldiers get a hard severe look: over worked laborers constantly look tired: reporters look mquisiti,e; judges be- come grave, even when of the bench: the man who has had domestic trouble looks ali broken up.

WHERE MINES ARE DEEP.
Talk of Sinking Shaft Nearly Two Miles for
 Copper Ore.

II will require deep shaft to de- velop mine to the west of the Tamarick-a shaft of nearly two miles in depth-but in view of the wonder ful strides made III deep mining in the past decade it is not beyond the range of possibilities that such shaft may be started soon. Fifteen years ago the sinking Of No. l ramarack to vertical depth of 2,27o feet made a new worlds record, and the men who sunk it were denounced as lunatics until the phenomenal success closed the mouths of their detractors.
 The bottoming of the Red Jacket shaft only few years ago, at depth of 1900 feet, was regarded with won der, and held by many to be the ultimate limit in deep mining, yet today the No, , shaft of the Tamarack k lacks but months work of being a full 5,0C0 feet in depth, and the hoist ing plant just installed is built for service to a depth of 6, GOO feet-nearly three times the depth at which the original Tamarack shaft cut the lode, although then denounced as a crazy undertaking by some of the best min ing men in this district.
 If the planned limits of deep mining have been extended to almost three times their original bounds, within less than two decades, the jump from T,000 to 10, 900 feet is not such an i'm possible one as it now seems to many A shaft two miles in depth could be sunk in ten years at a cost, including equipment, of S, ,000,00O or 5000, coo. In other words, a two mile shaft could be sunk and equipped at about the same cost and in about the same time as the Red Jacket shaft, which lacks a little of a mile in depth.
 There is really but one serious drawback to the sinking of two-mile shaft, and that is the question of ven tilation. At such great depth the heat NOuiu Dc NStN Sitdbs hc uoNoipt- ments of the next two years in No. , Tamarack will settle the question of whether a two mile shaft could be operated to advantage. That it could be sunk is no longer open tO question. At the deep vertical shafts of the Calumet district powerful faus are used to re-enforce the natural system of ventilation obtaining in all deep mines that have more than a single shaft.
 h the case of the hypothetical two mile shaft the single opening could be made to serve the purpose uf two shafts by making the different com partmentS air-tight and using one of them for a down cast, and another for an up-cast, or chimney, to withdraw the heated air from the mine.
 The compressed air from the power drills is als, a powerful factor in mine operations at great depths, as air gives up much of it's heat under com pression, and when released quickly robs the surrounding rock and the free air in the mine of portion of their heat. Milwaukee Sentinel.
