LENGTH OF fMpRoMpTU FIGHTS
They are Always of Less Duration
 Than They Seem.

A group of men were standing on a street corner yesterday talking on the subject of fighting. It was remarked that physical encounter between men of average muscle and mind is gener- ally d brief affair. To the combatants it seems that they have been fighting for hours. ByStanders might estimate the fight to have lasted anywhere from five to fifteen minutes. when mat ter Of fact the average encounter sell dom lasts more than minute. Even if the fighters are well matched one or the other withdraws at the end of d minute. not because he has been more severely punished than his antas- onist or because he is more of cow ard. He is simply out of wind. So is the other fighter. and that is why when one of the fighters quits the oth r never presses him to resume.
 This discussion led up to a story of a recent fight in which a well. known Phoenix capitalist participated. He .s not lacking in nerve or conbativens ss, nor is he lacking in adipose tissue. He is engaged ia mining near Morristowr. On his last return from the mine one side of his face was covered with an abrasion. He told how r. got it. He said one of his employees mad for long time been trying to organ:ze . disturb ance with him. The capitalist avoided his approaches until one cay his temper obse ured his judgment and he led for him with his right Then the conflict between lator and capital which you read about ensued. They mixed. punched and gouged. The capitals: Geftly inserted a thumb between the miners teeth and undsftly left il there. The miner was rbusily engaged in re moving cuticle from the face of cap ital. and capital was trying to locate with his left the solar pleNus of labor or some good substitute therefor. The capitalist kept wondering if the fight would be over by supper time. It was then noon and the conflict had been raging for almost fun minute. The miner opened his mouth. released the thumb of the capitalist. stepped back and said. I've got enough" The ca D. italist afterward said in telling the story; If the miner had stayed just three seconds longer I would have had the honor of submitting peace pr1- posal ! was wanting to give in. but couldn't get enough breath together t2 say so.''

EXPLORATION IN rHIBEr.
Seeing the Miehs,..s Group of Mo..-

Interesting details of Sven Hedin's
researches in Central Asia are con-
tanned in letter from the explorer
to friend in Copenhagen. The writer
declares that the last summer has
proved the most fruitful period Of his
journey I'VE broke up from Til

explore the unknown regions Of the
north of Thibet. The journey there
and back to our headquarters occupied
ninety-three days. We covered 1853
kilometers (about as far as from
Stockholm to Paris). The way led
through completely unknown districts.
We preserved our surveys Of 1t in 173
maps. The caravan consisted at the
start of six servants, seven camels,
twelve horses, sixteen sheep and one
mule. During the journey we lost one
man, an Afghan explorer, who died
after an illness of thirteen days, and
whose body we were obliged to carry
across the desert; three camels, nine
horses and the mule. The animals died
from overexertion. Almost all the

parallel chains of mountains. We fl

were obliged to turn back" The scien-
tific results of the expedition are very
valuable, and embrace the provinces
of topography, curtography, astrono-
my, meteorology observations taken
twice daily, hypsometry, geology and
photography. Hedin states that the
caravan met with none of the dangers
that are usual in a hostile land, but it
had many enemies. The worst of these
were the storms from the west, these
being always accompanied by snow and
hail. The cold at our level-that of
seventeen Eiffel towers piled one on
another-was," he said, "20 degrees
centigrade, and we could at times
scarcely get our breath. We felt as
though we were about to tumble to

MILLIONAIRE IN SENATE.
Twelve Years Ago He Was Down to His
Last Cent.

Thomas Kearns, sworn In lately as
senator from Utah, has had remarka-
BILE career. Twelve years ago he was a
poor farmer in Nebraska, near the
town of Fremont. His neighbor was
a man named Keith. They sold their
farms, and with the money started for
Utah to become miners. For several
years they prospected without any re-
turn whatever. They knew what it
was to be down to the last cent in their
pockets and the last cracker in the
rich streak. There was gold, silver,
lead and copper. He secured enough
money to run a shaft and then COM
menced operations. To-day the mine
is known as the Silver King, the larg-
est silver mine in the world. Mr..
Kearns has been offered and refused
$12.0000 900 for it. 1t has paid $780,
900 in dividends. Keith has shared
equally in the profits. Senator Kearns
is, therefore, another millionaire in
the senate. 1t is said. to his credit,
however, that with all his good fortune
he is the same Tom Kearns who used
to farm in Nebraska. Deprived OF the
advantages of an early education, he
has done his best to make up the def
cit, and what he learned he remem-
bered. He is said to be a man OF many
interesting and admirable traits. his
generosity being illustrated by tho
fact that he donated twenty acres of
land and a building costing $780, 900
for an asylum for the orphans OF min
ers. Although Senator Kearns is IA
Catholic, the institution is non-sectari-
an, and every form OF religion is pre-
sented among the little ones who find
home within its walls.-Washington

had become a parsonage In that un-
certain domain. There was but one
drop of gall in her chalice OF
happiness as she sat in her hall bed
room one winter evening and lovingly
fingered some half dozen small envel-
opes. Her brown face was puckered
unpleasantly, as it was wont TO be
over the clearinghouse coffee, and she
was indulging in monologue. habit
most helpful to an amateur story
teller.

gable; tea and talk" she murmured
jerkily, slowly telling over the small
blue and white missives. Nov, small
talk is my Waterloo. They expect me
to be fluent. All, II could only write
It down first! But how do know what
they will speak to me about?" She
pondered deeply and dejectedly and
