KipIing and the Bus Owner.

After leaving Vermont Rudyard Kip.
ling bought q place in the little Eng.
lish village of Nottingham, and in his
garden were some beautiful trees. One
Of these trees, branching over the
road, threatened daily injury to the
driver of the local bus. Therefore he
and his conductor waged destructive
war on all the vulnerable twigs within
reach from the bus roof Result: A
vigorous letter of complaint from Mr..
Kiplng to the bus owner, who is also
landlord of one of the local inns.
That evening the landlord laid the
letter before the select company of the
bar parlor. They advised an attitude
Of calm Indifference. Also a Cr9sus
among them offered $3.50 in cash fol-
the autograph letter. Both advice and
cash were accepted.
The nuisance continuing, in due
course a second and stronger letter
followed the first. The landlord >con.
vcned another bar parliament, and the
second letter also found a buyer, this
time at So, as befitted it's increased
violence. And Boniface again sat
tight" To him next day entered Mr..
Eiplng, briskly wrathful. "Why
didn't l answer your letters, sir? Why,
l was hoping you'd send me o fresh
one every day. They pay a deal better
than bus driving!"

(BenSon'S Plaster Is Pains MaStsr.)

These are days of records and of the beat
ing of records. Benson's Porous Plaster, for
quickness of action and thoroughness of
cure, has no records to beat except its own.
Benson's Plaster, always the best, always
the leader, is to-day better than eVer. 1t
sticks to the skin but never sticks in its
tracks. 1t marches on.
The people not only want to be cured
but cured Qaickly-and Benson's Plaster
does it, Coughs, colds, lumbago, asthma,
bronchitis, liver and kidney complaints,
and other ills approachable by an external
remedy, yield to Benson's as ice does to heat.
Neither Belladonna, Strengthening or
Capsicum plasters are to be compared with
Benson's. People who have once tested
the merits of Benson's Plaster have no use
for any other external remedy.
More than 5000 physicians and drug
gists land thousand times as many non
professional persons have called Benson's
Plasters one of the few O. home remedies
that can be trusted.
Fifty-ive highest awards have been made
to it in competition with the best known
plasters of Europe and America. Better
proof of its merits is inconceivable. BE
sure to get the genuine.

When, several years ago. New York's great

When, several years ago, New York's great
Presbyterian minister made the public state
ment that it was due to the use of Paine s
celery compound that, after a winter OF ex-
hausting work, he was able to carry on his
duties through the enervating springtime
with unusual ease and comfort
And whep, little later, the learned Bishop
of Huntington, Bishop Micbaud, published al
Endorsement of this great remedy, saying:
"Hoping that my words may Inspire those
readers who need health and strength with
faith to try Paine's celery compound and
prove to themselves its WORTH
When, about the same time, the public
statement was made by the superintendent of
the largest Woman's Christian association il
the country that "those who have been taking
Paine's celery compound are greatly benefited
and desire to lntinue its USE
When the Rev. j G. Laird OF London,
Ont, who wrote to the proprietors that if he
had only known Paine's celery compound
when he was first t fl ,cted with nervousness,
he would never have been placed on the list
of retired ministers
When these and hundreds Of other unsol CT
ted testimonials have come from ministers of
every denomination, there is no shadow OF
question of the sincere regard in which this
greatest OF all remedies for blood and nerves
is held by those who have used it.
Jealous work, with no thought OF their
health or nerves, causes the retirement OF
large number Of clergymen every year.

attention to the benefits to bs derived from

Eating Railway Iron.

Iron for the blood has evidently been
prescribed for the quails of Florida; al
least these birds are eating steel rails
on the tracks of the sugar belt neal
Runnymede. The report. which is well
authenticated, does not charge the
quails with actually swallowing the
rails, but it does say that they pick
away their particles wherever they find
a rusty spot where they are loOsened.
From several points in the state
comes the report of holes found in steel
rails, and in cases they are large
enough to seriously weaken the ma
terial Where a rusty spot starts and
is picked out, it naturally holds mois-
ture, continues to rust, to be again
picked out, and so the work Of destruc-
ton goes on.
Railway engineers really believe that
the duails take the iron tonic because
they are not well and find that it re-
lieves their distress.

Tried 10 Raise the Dead.

a man who had died in a hospital. The
experiment was measurably successful,
os resuscitation was effected several
hours after the man was pronounced
dead. DR.. Mag, who was in charge,
was unable to maintain life, however.
The patient had died from typhoid
fever, and DIR. Mag decided to try an
experiment. Respiration had ceased
completely and the body was cold. Di-
rect massage Of the heart was resorted

over the heart, and through the in
cision the physician passed his hand
md seized the heart. He commenced
series of compressions, and in short
time the heart commenced to work of
heart gradually became stronger, but
the man had not commenced to
breathe. Only after the heart had
heen acting half an hour did the first
gasp for air come.
The patient was then assisted in
this for about an hour until finally he
was able to breathe quite freely. At
the same time his cheeks began to as
sumo a natural color. He lay in this
condition another half hour, but with
out regaining consciousness or appear
inc to feel the effects of the incision.
Then there was a reaction and respi-
ration ceased, although the heart con-
tinued to act eight hours longer. A
second effort was made to induce heart
action, but without result.

ELYS NEW RAILROAD
Plans Being Discussed In the
East Which Were Suggested
by the "News."
Also the Organization of the bly

pany Is Uuder Way.
A Ready Market Found for the
Proposed Bonds of This
Corporation.

While the people of Ely are anxious
ly awaiting the advent of a railroad
into this camp, our friends in the East,
who are investing their money in
mining properties here, are by no
means idle, and steps are now being
taken, which, If they do not have the
effect OF inducing one or more of the
big roads to build in here, the result
will be the construction of road to
Ely next season by an independent
company.
1t transpires that one of the heaviest
operators here has been quietly negoti-
ating with one of the big companies to
extend their line to Ely, and was given
the assurance II guarantee of freight
amounting to 100 tons daily is assured,
the road will be built without delay.
Aside from this the organization Of
the Ely Railway and Mining Company
Is underway, and 1t is announced that
when the plan was broached on Wall
street there was no difficulty expert
enced In getting the bonds subscribed
for on the spot.
Dix w. Smith realizes the immediate
necessity for railroad to Ely, and on
his return East he will take the matter
up directly with the different railroad
companies and other parties interested.

PAID THE LAST 10000
Ely Mining and Milling Company
Receives Deed for Three Re-
maininp Claims.
D. G. Mcdonald Conveys the Prop.
ePty and Pockets the Final
Payment.
Which Shows That the Company
Is Perfec tly Satisfied with
It's Investment.

During the past week D. c. Mcdonald
received from the Ely Mining and Mil
ling Company the last payment OF sl0,-
600 on the three claims sold to them
q year ago, namely, the Dauntless,
Florida and Quadrant and the deed to
the properties was recorded In the
Office OF County Recorder Garaghan on
Monday.
The Ely company now owns thirteen
claims lying in compact form on the
north side OF the canyon about mile
and half west of town, and the value
OF the property may be safely said to
be several times greater than when 1t
was purchased. When the mill was
erected 1t was on what was considered
q distinctly gold proposition, but 1t Is
now known that the copper deposits
win yield many times the output Of
gold.
In the old workings, as well as in the
copper district, each day shows graft
flying results and when Spring comes
the mine will be steady producer.
