STORY OF CLIFF bWELLERs.


DIR. George l. Cole, arfhaeOlogist OF
the University Of Southern California,

Along the Mancos river land to the
northwest rises in three terraces. The
first is a barren waste covered with
sage brush. Rising 1,O0q feet above
this is a second terrace. icovered with
heavy timber, mostly pins. From this
= cliff rears itself from 1b0 to 400 feet
in the air. This is Of volcanic ashes
or tufa, and in the side ofit are cut the
abodes of the cliff dwelie%s.
DR.. Cole. speaking Of Mis- explora-

"The ruins OF what apptars 10 be the

was found the bones Of 4 woman, who
must have been from 7Hssto 8 feet tall.
In the rooms were cooking utensils

EFFECT OF GOOD CLOTHES.
The Effect of q Tailor Made Suit Is
Magnetic.

The Effect of q Tailor Made Suit Is
Magnetic.
Perhaps only a woman knows the
pleasure afforded by the consciousness
of being we'll dressed; but most public
men are aware of the magnetic effect
of a tailor made suit. Fernando
Wood, who represented the lower
wards of New York in congress al
ways addressed his ragged, coatless,
low-tailed coat, white tie and kid
gloves. Daniel Webster, knowing that
the eloquence of even Demosthenes
was aided by the folds of his toga, al
ways wore his best clothes when he
appeared on the public platform or
addressed the senate. Once, upon be-
ing asked why he wore such an elab
crate dress when making a speech, he
reproachfully turned upon the ques-
toner and asked if he should not pre-
sent his best thoughts, his best man
ner, his best garb when he addressed
his fellow men. But in truth Web
ster's garb was simply that of the
Fox-blue swallow-tailed coat with
gilt buttons, buff vest, brown trousers
and white cravat. Charles Sumner
once cited it as an answer to unfrierd-
ly critics who complained that he was
too fastidious and dogmatic when ad-
dressing the senate on matters of mere
routine. Mr. Sumner" says Mr..
Brooks, affected a picturesque style
of dress, wearing colors brighter than
those which predominated in the SEN
atorial togas of the period. His favor
lite costume was a brown coat and
light waistcoat, lavender colored or
checkered trousers, and shoes with
English CATERS. His appearance in his
seat in the senate chamber was studi-
ously dignified. He once told me that
he had never allowed himself, even in
the privacy of his own chamber to fall
into a position which he would not
take in his chair in the senate. Habit
is everything he said."-Century
Magazine.

The Girl of Lamy.



Downright 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
Just a handful of wooden houses in
Lamy, thrown together as if by the
haphazard hand of a careless God into
the little pocket of the mountains that
stand like priests around the city OF
Santa Fe. Here it is that the dust
gray coaches which thunder in from
Arizona on the west, meet their broth
ers from the east and exchange for
few brief moments the greetings of the
way.
OF course, the red clap-board eating
house and station are the main attrac-
tions during these arrivals and present
scenes of unwonted activity to those
accustomed to the aching solitude OF
the place by day or its blinking dream
mess beneath the stars at night.
No one distinctly remembers Just
when or how the Girl became an insti-
tuition at Lamy. However, they do re-
member that one September morning
some years back there was new tace
behind the counter in the eating-house;
a face framed in dull gold hair and
lighted by two blue-gray eyes, which
seemed forever on the brink of laugh
ter. The boys who made their home
in the little clap-board affair used to
call her Mollie; but it was name of
their own devising and she accepted

with an inscrutable smile that puzzled,

down on the still air the Girl would
walk over to German Joe's in a bust
ness-like way and scatter the drunkest
of them with quiet word and an adj
monnitory jerk of the sleeve that sent
them sneaking out like coyotes. Then,
perhaps, she would stand and smile in
the doorway with her hair blowing in
the wind, her eyes speaking more plain
ly than words that a new era had be-

LABOR AND CAPITAL UNION.
Plans Conceived Before The Strike
Was Thought of.
4 PROFIT SHARING SCHEME.

New York, Aug. ID. Pierpont
Morgan has planned the greatest labor
union of the age, union of labor and
capital. According to his plans, stock
of the United States Steel corporation
valued at several millions of dollars at
par has been set aside for the purchase
at inside figures by the 165,OO men
employed by the companies that make
up the great steel trust. 1t is contem-
plated to form this co-partnership be-
tween the shareholders and the en-
ployes of the United Steel corporation.
The plan was conceived before the
strike was thought of and then it was
expected that it might be put in opera
ton in two years. 1t requires time to
formulate the details of such trem-
endous undertaking. For this reason
announcement was withheld.
At a recent conference, however, be-
tween the executive board of the Anal
gamated Association and Chas. Schwab,
the president of the United States Steel
corporation, it came out that Schwab
under the direction of Morgan, has
formulated a profit sharing scheme
whereby it was proposed to make every
employee of the Steel corporation CO.
operator in the business.
The plan contemplated by the United
States Steel corporation is nothing
more than the high development of the
scheme that has existed in the Carnegie
plants since 1892. After studying the
state attained by Carnegie, it is said
that Morgan and his associates in the
management of the United States Steel
corporation determined that it would
be wise to extend the scheme.

ADDITIONAL RULES.
Reference is Made to Contests Against
Wood.


Wood.
Washington, Aug. 16.-Acting Secrc-
tary of the Interior department Ryan
has prescribed an additional rule to the
Geographic regulations issued pro-
viding Tor a speedy disposition of
appeals from rejection of homestead
applications for the new Oklahoma
lands The new rule follows:
Applications to contest entries al
lowed for these lands filed during the
sixty days from date of opening will
also be Immediately forwarded to the
general land Office, where they will be
at once carefully examined and for
warded to the secretary of the interior
with proper recommendation when the
matter will be promptly decided"
In the opinion of officials there is but
one ground of contest thus far assigned
that is liable to cause Wood any annoy
ance. That is the claim that he took
his selection for speculative purposes
and not as homestead. If this charge
should be sustained his entry would be
cancelled. Asto the other contests they
are looked upon as frivilouS.

the great event occurred. A dispatch
had come over the wires saying that
a special was coming from the east and
that a double-header would be needed
to carry it over the grades. Dan
Boards No. 20 could climb a tree, and
the big fellow got his orders to make
the run. 1t was getting close to start

fire boy, was growing anxious. Dan
had not shown up all morning. He
was not at German Joe's, nor around
the station. The dispatcher was stand
ing in the sun looking at his watch and
swearing safely to himself He was
just on the point of putting another
man on No. 20, when something white
caught his eye on the hill-path that
runs above the cut. AS it came nearer
he saw it was Mollie, and right behind
was Dan, clumsily picking his way
over the stones. At the station Dan
called out: 'All ready" to the dis
patcher, looking rather sheepish and
strangely happy.
Remember, DAN" spoke Mollie, as
No. 20 began to move. Not another

A NEW FLORAL SURPRISE.
The Occasional Flower Which
Radiant In Its Beauty.

The Occasional Flower Which Il
Radiant In It's Beauty.
What must be considered as Won
derful curiosity of the floral kingdom
is the so-termed occasional flower" a
specimen of which has recently been
brought to this country. No mention
is made in botanical science of the ex-
istence of this marvellous flower. 1t
is mystery at present that is well
worth clearing up. When in a closed
condition the occasional flower is in
color and in form something like a
mature and dried poppy-head cut with
its stem to it. Submerged in a bowl of
water for a few minutes, and then
taken out and placed by its stem in
an empty bottle, the outer petals be-
gin. after several minutes, to open out
This process is slow. but distinctly
noticeable. The petals continue to
rise and to expand until they gradu
ally recede backward. When this ac
ton is complete it resembles in ap-
pearance the starry Sunflower, but as
regards the shape only. The occasional
flower remains thus open for about
two hours, during which time, the
state of humidity lessening by degrees,
the fibers begin to shrink and the
petals close up gradually in the same
way as they opened, until the flower
resumes its former position; but by
the same simple process it can be
made to unfold and to close up again
and again ad lib. 1t is also asserted
that, properly nursed with regard to
temperature and air, and carefully
handled, the occasional flower never
decays nor degenerates in its effect
of radiance and splendor.
