Leyds himself, are engaged perpetually
in striving to create a public opinion
against the waging Of the war.
Through the Liberal newspapers facts
and figures are circulated tending to
discourage the mass Of the-people or to
make them ashamed Of the methods or
subjugation. The lecture platform Is
largely used also for the same purpose.
Several leaders Of the Irish revolution
ary movement have lent effective aid in
this way, as also by the more indirect
device Of proclaiming in Ireland itself
kind of boycott Of the English army;
the recruiting sergeants that used to
make such liberal hauls Of good fight
ing flesh and blood in the Green Isle
are beginning to find their efforts ana
eloquence wasted as a direct result or
this move. The numerous Pro-Boer
meetings organized among the Irish IN
America have received their first I'M
pulse from the cabinet in Europe, which
takes good care to be in close toucn
with the born enemies Of the English
wherever they are to be found.
This efficient secret service bureau
presents outwardly a very simply ap-
pearance. It's daily deliberations take
place in plainly furnished office room
at Hilversum, communicating with me
presidents private study. EverytEing'
in fact, Is arranged on the simplest
scale round the president. He IS a
sworn foe to all pomp and pretension,
and this characteristic Is shown clear
ly in the furnishings Of the apartments
occupied by himself and his STAFF. as
we'll as in the details Of his daily lie
He is, of course, treated with the ut
most reverence by all who come IN
contact with him; but there is no more
outward show around him than Is seen
in the case of any ordinary Dutch pa
terfamilias in the neighborhood.
The house he lives in with his suite
is a plain, comfortable Dutch home and
apart from his own personal peculiar
tiles, the daily course Of life Is abso-
lutely ordinary. When he Is not en-
gagged in directing business directly
with his cabinet he passes his time IN
his study or in the garden summer
house, in company with his pipe and
his Bible, smoking, reading, meditating.
He goes to bed in the Transvaal fash
ion, very soon after sundown. He rises
two or three times at regular fixed In
tervals during the night and remains
up smoking and reading for half an
hour or an hour, walking about his
bed room in a dressing gown.
Although they have the greatest res
pect and sympathy for President Kru-
ger, the people of Hilversum are not
overwhelmed by the honor Of his pres
ence among them. They take of their
hats as he passes; but they have con-
formed to his wishes In the matter OF
refraining from any demonstrations
since the first reception was extended to
him. In their sympathy for him they
find themselves in harmony with all
their fellow countrymen. A feeling to-
ward the English people which Is evil
dent in Holland is remarkably bitter.
Unfortunately, as all Americans speak
the English language, this bitterness
extends among the ordinary classes to
ourselves as well.

six mules on the gallop could keep

said:

Ledge of Quartz In the ROCKIES
Whose Location no Other Persons

Ledge of Quartz In the Rockies
whoxe Location no Other Persons
Know.
Way up in the Medicine Bow Noun
tains, not far from the wyoming line,
there is a hidden mine for which gen.
Grafton of men have searched In vain.
And it is owned, operated and its 10
cation kept secret by two young women,
who have kept their secret since one
was 1S and the other but IA years old.
The lode was discovered 16 years ago
by a tenderfoot named Smithers. He
was ordered west by the doctors and
came to Colorado. Leaving his wife
and two little girls at Fort Collins, he
went up into the mountains to pros
tpect. In some unexplained way he dis
covered an enormously rich ledge OF
quartz and recognized it's value.
Then he returned to Fort Collins for
his family, having been absent about a
year. His wife had died during his
stay in the mountains; but he found
his children in care Of a ranchman.
He took them up into the mountain
with him, and they have lived ever
since In the cabin he built for them.
Smithers cleared off a ranch and did
little farming, got a little stock and
raised his own milk and butter and
eggs, and lived outwardly like thou
sands of small mountain ranchmen all
over the Rocky Mountain region. But
secretly he worked on the ledge of gold
quartz he had discovered. He broke
pieces from the vein. ground them up
| in a mortar, panned them, and got gold
enough to keep him and his children
without other work than caring for
their little farm.
This life began when the children
We're but and years old. respective
| ly. When the older one was IS and her
sister IA, Smithers died. He had taught
them the secret of the hidden mine,
and when he was gone the two orphans
lived alone in the same manner. They
looked after their little stock, tended
their little farm, and in secret ground
up pieces of quartz and panned the gold
from it.
The ledge must be of fabulous rich
ness. for these two girls, neither OF
them very robust and the younger lit
tie more than child when they began,
have taken out all the gold they wanted
in the four years they have led this
lonely existence. At rare intervals they
take their horses and pack saddle,
and go down to the nearest town for
provisions. They always have gold
dust and nuggets to pay for whatever
they choose to buy.
H. A. Wells, a timber appraiser for
the state land board, was in that Sec
ton recently and secured 500 worth
Of nuggets the young women had saved
up. One he is wearing as watch
charm. 1t is a great chunk of native
gold, not melted into a button; but
just as it fell from a crushed rock. Ac-
cording to weight it's value would not
exceed $50, or perhaps s25. But as a
fine specimen of native gold and as a
memento of the lonely mountain ranch
and hidden mine, hundreds Of dollars
would not buy it.-Kansas City Jour-
nal

REMEMBER THE DEAD
THE LIVING CARE For
THEMSELVES.

wv HEN you remember the dead Of
w your family, you show to the
world that your love for them is not
buried with the body. 1t Is duty you
owe yourself and to the one that Is
gone. to place a neat Monument or
Tombstone over the last resting place
of departed loved ones. To do this the
expense is not great, and 1t shows to
the world that your love for the dead Is
as lasting as stone. If you have rela-
tives buried in unmarked graves do not
let it remain so, when the expense Of
marking the grave properly Is so small.
Get my prices and see the styles of
work have to offer you.

 The heat compelled the adjournment of the meeting. A force of police from the Velodrome induced the spectators to disperse quietly.
 The duel was resumed this morning. M. Regis was seriously wounded in the forearm, copious flow of blood resulting and the duel was thereupon stopped.
