A GENIUS OF FINANCE.
Young Man Bought . Typewriter and
Paid for 1t without Costing

DO you see that young man over

New York Times. Hes one of the
greatest financial geniuses in the
country, If little things are any indi.

+ The young mans appearance did
not seem to indicate that there was
anything out of the common about
him, and his admirers companion

without paying cent for it., and
without doing stroke of work foz
it, and he did it in a perfectly hon,

it by accident, and I've been wonder.
ing at the genius and simplicity Of
the scheme ever since. He was for.
merly employed in the same Office
with me, and we both had to do a
good deal of writing. One day he
came up to me and proposed that we
should hire typewriter together.
"'We can hire a typewriter for 81
month"; he said, and if we split il.
between us it will only cost US sc
cents a week each. We can do that
all right, because we wouldn't be
using it at the same time, anyway.

first payment learned that my

to pay him so cents week for the
use of it. I thought that this was
rather clever, but I didn't realize the

learned from man who had called to

agreed to buy the typewriter on the

A RACE FOR A MINE.
Brief Description of MidwinteE
Dash to Locate the La
Fleur Mine.

An exciting race for a mine took
place in February. 1896. For many years
it had been known that the Colville
Indian reservation was rich in min.
erals, and prospectors had slipped in.
'eluding the vigilance of the Indian
police, to explore the mountains in
northern Washington. But long be-
fore white men had entered the In
dams knew that the top of low
mountain near the nations border
line was covered with bright blue
stones, so gaudy that many were car
ried off and placed in the wigwams.
The prospectors knew that these gay
stones betokened the existence of cop
per veins, and many hungry eye was
cast at the rock-strewn patch of
ground before the government lifted
the ban that kept out paleface in
truders, says Eugene B. Palmer in
Ainslee's.
But congress passed law opening
part of the reservation to mineral To-
cation. ot
Waiting for the president to sign
the formal proclamation, two parties
quietly entered the forbidden terri
tory and camped alongside the prom
Using vein. At Marcus, the nearest
telegraph station, two young men
waited with tense nerves for the first
tick that would tell that the presi-
dent had signed the proclamation. 1t
was cold, gray, winter day, and the
snow was piled high. Late in the aft
ernoon the word came, and there was
a simultaneous dash for the horses
that were waiting outside. Then the
race began. Plunging through drifts.
tumbling down declines, toiling des-
perately up steep hills and bounding
at full speed over the level stretches,
these two horses bore their riders.
Somtimes one was ahead and some
times the other. The sun disappeared
and the hurrying pair Numbered along
through the, deepening twilight, and
then in the light of the, stars reflected
by the glistening snow. Spurs were
plunged SO deep that fecks of blood
stained the snow. Almost side by side
they scrambled up the mountain. The
yells of the riders were heard in the
distance by the rival watchers, who
did not wait further hint, but drove
the stakes that were to locate the
La Fleur mine. .---.
Then followed wordy disputes, fist
fights and the fiourishing of Win
chesters, but before the mine was
christened with blood one party con-
cluded to withdraw and fight it's bat
tie in the courts.

WHY HE PAINTS HIS FACE.
Reasons for Time-HOnored Custom
That L. Prevalent Among
the Indians.

Every paint mark on the Indian face
is sign with definite meaning which
other Indians may read. When an In
dian puts on his full war paint he decks
himself not only with his own individ.
ual honors and distinctions won by his
own bravery, but also with the spe.
cial honors of his family or tribe. He
may possess one mark of distinction
only or many; in fact, he may be SC
we'll off in this respect that, like some
English nobleman, he is able to don
a new distinction for every occasion.
Sometimes he will wear all his honors
at one time, says Parsons Magazine
Among the Indian tribes is one des.
ignated by the symbol of the dogfish
painted in red on the face. The vari.
Gus parts of the fish are scattered
heterogeneously on the surface of the
face; the peculiarly long snout is
painted on the forehead, the gills are
represented by two curved lines be-
low the eyes, while the tail is shown
as cut in two and hanging from either
nostril. When only one or two parts
of an animal are painted on a mans
face it is an indication of inferiority;
when the whole animal appears even
though in many oddly assorted parts.
the sign is one of great value and indi.

Marriage In Hindoo.tnn.

Marriages in Hindoostan are very
simple and ere usually arranged by
the parents of the principals. When
an alliance is agreed upon the bride
and groom are brought together and
perhaps see each other for the. first
time. The bride playfully skips to-
ward him and seats herself beside
him. The priest ties corner of the
brides veil to the groom's shawl and
this simple proceeding makes them
man and wife.-Chicago Chronicle.

The Secret OF Frying Potatoes.

Many people fail in cooking pota-
toes when they fry other things well.
The fat must be very hot, if not ac-
tually boiling, before the potatoes are
put in. Each piece of potato must
be quite dry, for if at all damp it will
not get crisp. Directly the potatoes
are sufficiently Drowned they must
be taken out and placed ON paper be-
fore the fire to dry. Scatter some
dried salt over and serve. The po-
tatoes must be raw and may be cut
in any shape liked. Ribbons are
very nice, and these may be cut with
an ingenious little continuance sold
for the purpose. If cooked potatoes
only are at hand, cut them in slices
and -four them thickly before frying
in deep Washington Star.

DR.. A. w. Olcott, health officer of Tue

characterized by pure, dry. invigorating
air; a small amount of rainfall, and an
ever-sh'ning sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut off the chilling
WINGS OF winter, and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives il a mild winter eli

an out-ofdoor life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and life

of numberless cures for consumption, ex-

profession as the best single means
