A WOMAN MINER 8 PLUCK.
Works Herself at the Hard and Dam
gerous Toll.

RcrOue OIL.
A story comes from Arizona which
shows what can be accomplished by
the energy and determination which
often lies beneath the fair exterior of
a woman's frame. Mrs. John Kay lives
near kingman, Ariz. She has hus.
band aud family of children. Her
husband is hard working man, but
his earnings barely suffice for the daily
necessities of the family, and several
years ago she decided that she would
engage In mining for herself.
She had no money 10 pay for the
development of her claim. but she had
a pair OF tender, but willing, hands and
arms, and did not hesitate TO sacrifice
their beauty and mar their fair proper
tlons in the effort to provide future
for her family. She took the drill and
hammer In her own hands, and, with
infinite patience, wrought the holes In
the rock, says Ores and Metals. She
cut the fuse, bit the cap, tamped the
charge, went back into the smoke to
look for results, and wheeled out the
muck and kept up this work for years.
Progress was slow, for she washed
and baked and made and hemmed for
her children, but there was no thought
of failure In her mind, and no dream of
rest until 1t had been earned.
A few weeks since her reward came
As she went into the tunnel after a
round of shots she found big chunks
of ore literally plastered with horn and
native silver. assays running at high as
$4,000 to the ton. The vein is opened
and is rich, and now she Is superin-
tending with force of men taking out
wealth for her.-Washington Times.

Its denomlnatio is ID cents: Benja-
min Harrison occupies the center of

This will be the first 13-cent stamp
ever issued by the United States; up
to 1879 a stamp of the value of cents
had been in use ten years, but was
discontinued when the rate of foreign
postage was reduced to cents. The
new Harrison stamp will be little used
in domestic mails. Its issuance is the
outgrowth of the increased foreign
registration service; it will cover the
postage and registration fee upon a let

within the limits of the Postal Union,

organized nations of the world

MODERN SLANG PHRASE is OLD.
"Nothing Doing" Is an Anciant Ex-
preston Used In the Classics.

Some of those who affect the pictur-

their speech with what they suppose
to be the latest slang phrases, eschew-
ing accepted and approved English for
what they think Is the latest up-to-date
coinage of the purlieus, may be shock
ed to learn that one of the latest and
most frequently used phrases Is at
least fifty years old, and possibly elias
sic. writes the Brooklyn Eagle. This
phrase is nothing doing" Thomas De
Quincy, in writing his paper on the

crimson of his, and, as an amateur
once said to me In a querulous tone:

is used in precisely the same form and
in the same meaning that 1t is by the
professor of slang in this day.
Shakespeare uses 1t as nothing done"
but In the same sense. in Measure for

Enough Is shown to prove that the
latest slang is, after all, old and Of

This Oroya Railway Is n very won

higher than any other railway In the

road in the world which man on

his own momentum and practically at
any pace TO which the fiend of reck-

REGISTRATION DAYS

Under our system Of elections the
primary is a most important factor A
man has not done his full duty unless
he has participated in It, helping to se-
lect THE best possible candidates to be
voted for at the ensuing election.
To this end it is well to remind our
voters that they can take no part in
the primaries unless they shall have
been duly registered. There are three
registration days August ., 9, and
l6. The prudent man will register
on the first OF these il possible. It is
not wise to postpone it, as sickness, alb
sence from the city, or other cause
might prevent him from attending to
this important duty.
Persons in planning their vacations
should not forget these registration
days, as the ballot is a precious privi'
lege worth little sacrifice.
1t Is well to remember, too, that VIII
mington will hold an important muni
cipal election next spring, and that 4

antecedent to that election must regis

having served but two years, but he
expressed himself as favoring rotation
in office. and declined to stand for "a
second nomination.
II seems to me-and I believe to a
majority OF Republicans-tha anyone
who has served in the Legislature for
four consecutive years should retire
and give others a chance at legisla-
tion. This is especially true when we
remember that during the last four
years these men have not performed
their most important duties, that of
electing senators. Without blaming
them individually, the voters may well
ask for a new deal which may result
more satisfactorily.
In the first senatorial district Mr.
Robertson is a candidate for the Sen
ate. He is rounding out his second
term in the House. and whatever opin.
ion men may have OF his personal At
ness, it seems to me that he can wei
afford TO allow some worthy man thu
chance to represent his party Surely

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
About ThemistocIes

no the Editor OF the Evening Journal.
Sir: In Mr. Byrnes recent letter, in
which he bids farewell TO his Republi-
canism before embracing Addicksiem,
there are many historical Illusions, and
/ wonder why he did not use recent ex-
amples TO justify his remarkable
course His allusion TO Themistocles
started a chord of memory to yibrat-
ng. l seemed 90 remember the gentle
man as occupying a certain space in
my ancient history book, when / was
a school-boy, but an active business
life has Jared many things out Of my
consciousness. and among them the
mistocles had disappeared.
However / turned TO my encyclopedia
mot Appleton's) and there quenched
my thirst anew from the same stream
that had 80 recently refreshed Mr..
Byrne. This gentleman long since de-
ceased. with whom j. Ed Addicks is
compared, became a leader in Atnens
only by shrewdness and trickery and
by the expulsion OF Aristides, who is
regarded by historians as "incor-
ruptible a patriot and a good citizen" 4"
Themistocles was shrewd and un-
scrupulous, and my encyclopedia is re-
spOn9ible for this. HE bribed the
spartans, deluded the assembly OF the
elders. by lies and dissimulation, and
deceived the whole country" He wns
accused of reasonable conduct towards
his country and with trying to sell her
out to the Persians, and finally he was
exiled. Then he fed to the Persians
and championed their cause against the
Athenians. and was deeply concerned
in the plans for the subjugation OF the
country which had honored him."
This sounds something like the threat
or sinking the party ten thousand faith
oms deep If it does not prove suff-
ciently accommodating. The parallel
is complete with the exception that
Themistocles was smarter than Ad-
dicks. but in all other particulars we
recognize the likeness. 1t continues to
the end. since we are told that the
Athenian sold out his own country
men when they would not yield to his
dictation. We are forced to believe
that had Mr. Byrne lived in Athens at
that time, he would have gone over to
the Persians with Themistocies.
