copper fame, seems to be having a
hard run Of luck. His great United
Verde mine at jerome, which was sup
posed to be netting him 81, 100000 per
month, is now on fire, and is shut down
and dramatically sealed up. 1t is al
most impossible to subdue a fire in a
sulphide mine in fact the United
Verde has been on fire for many years,
but the flames were confined to one
section of the workings md were
thought to be under control. A fire
recently occurred in Clark's converter
plant at Butte, and the plant is now
shut down, and will not produce cop
per for five or six months. The stop
page of these two plants will have the
effect of materially reducing the out
put of copper for some time in the flu
ture.

year or more. This new gague road
will greatly facilitate, as well as cheap

Ant Hypnotists,

That ants doctor their sick by hyp-
notism and magnetism is proved by
observation. An ardent student tells
how he witnessed what may be termed
seance in medical science among
ants. He saw several of these little
creatures emerge from the hills and
noticed that there We're some among
them which were weak and emaciated
--invalids, in fact. They We're accom-
panied by healthy members of the COM
munity, and all made their way toward
a distant mound.
On following theirmovementst through
glass the observer saw ON this mound
a big and sturdy ant which made
some motions in the direction of the
advancing invalids. The latter went
up the mound, one by one, and sub
mitted themselves to treatment. This
consisted in the physician ant passing
his feelers over the head and body
Of the patient in manner distinctly
suggestive Of the hypnotizing of nerves
and muscles practiced by human doc.
tors. Every one went through the
treatment, then the patients went back,
and the doctor marched off in the op-
poste direction.

Fighting For Life in n Net.

Tangled in a big fishing seine after
the capsizing Of their boat one mile

Lost Life Rather Than Retreat.

Among the interesting figures at the
recent naval maneuvres at New Lon
don was a signal corps sergeant named
Ackers, who lay claim to one of the
most remarkable war records in the
Army. At Manila, in China and in the
West he has seen service. At the time
of the Chinese campaign he was chief
telegraph operator OF the American
forces. During the battle before Tien-
Tsin Ackers was sent with a message
to Colonel Liscum of the Ninth In
fantry, whose regiment was under
heavy fire. The orders were to re-
treat.
II brought the word to Liscum," said
Ackers, in telling the story. "Liscum's
fighting blood was up and he was mad
at the idea of retreating. Turning to
ME he gave me the worst wigging I

Griffin shaped his course for the near
est clump Of bush, and put his last
atom of strength into leap that land
ed him fair in its centre. He spread
himself fiat and clung close to the
ground. Yelling like mad, to lead his
mates away, the young Sioux kept on
into the woods.
1t was so contrary to the trapper's s
training to trust an Indian that his
first movement was to slip out his
knife. He meant to be prepared in
case the Siuox should pounce on top
OF him.
But the Indians tore on into the fer
est, and after him went the others.
They passed so near the place where
Griffin lay that they might have heard
his hard breathing had they not been
running so fast and yelling so Justify.
But a fat old fellow who brought up
the rear gave over the chase at the
edge of the forest. He leaned against
a tree not twenty feet from Griffin's
bush, evidently intending to wait until
the others came back with the white
mans scalp.
The young braves kept up the search
until after dark. All that time the old
fellow fingered by his tree, and Griffin
dared not even stretch for fear of
being heard.
He hardly knew what action to take.
1t seemed that the young brave had
meant him to get away as soon as the
crowd passed; and it would be easy
enough to shoot the old Indian, and
then make his escape in the darkness.
But the trapper finally decided that
the right thing to do was to lie still.
The old fellow might be his friends
father for all he knew. To kill him
there might throw suspicion upon the
young man. And Griffin knew that if
the Indians discovered the trick that
had been played upon them they would
kill the perpetrator.
II won't do itp' said Griffin to him
self. mot if l lose my scalp for it."
By the time the band returned from
'hc IL thc tldppcl SOl
his breath. He wasted none of it, we
may be certain, in the course of the
impromptu council that the Indians
held before they left the timber. Prob
ably the talk lasted less than five min
utes. But that seems a long time to
man who feels enemies crowd around
his hiding-place and breads that any
instant they may fairly fall over him.
But finally they did leave, and Griffin
crept out Of the bush and fetched a
wide circuit to reach his camp. He
did not feel any appetite for supper
just then. What he would do, and did,
was TO load his belongings into his
canoe and, heading down stream, put a
wide stretch of river between himself
and the redskins.
Griffin never saw or heard OF the
young Sioux again; but the trapper
had better opinion of the tribe and
the race from that time forward.

he told the story, most of 'em are bad,

Bull Tripped Up the Tents.

A new rendering of the old story Of
the bull in the china shop is told by
p. J. McCook, nephew of General An
son G. McCook, and himself a veteran
Of the Spanish-American War.
During the Porto Rico campaign"
said Mr. McCook, my company was
camping in a field not far from the
town of Adjuntas. A barbed wire
fence separated the camp from another
field, in which We're a number of cat
tie. The fence was taken as guard line,
and sentries were posted along it. Dur
ing the night frisky bull in the ad-
joining field took it into his head to
charge the fence, with the idea Of get
ting at the sentry ON the other side.
The sentry naturally resented the IN
, trusion, and when the bull got within
range prodded him sharply in the nose
with his sword bayonet. The bull re-
treated with an angry roar.
Evidently the injured nose troubled
the animal, for presently he made an
other rush for the fence. Again he met
vicious stab. By this time the in
furiated animal was reused. He upset
the sentry, snapped the wire fence and
was in the midst Of the camp in a
second. The scene that followed beg.
gars description. The company was
sleeping in the little pup tents used
in the field. AS the angry animal rolled
through the field he tripped and
stumbled over the tent ropes, and in a
few minutes dozens of men We're strug-
Cling to get loose from the canvas and
bowling in pain as the feet of the
animal landed on them. A strike in
in bowling alley is not more complete
than the way in which the indignant
bull demolished the company street of
tents. There was little sleep that night
in Company A."

The pleasures that we dearly bought,
The wealth we risked our souls to gain,
The honors won through toll and pain,
The titles coveted and sought.
No world wide fame availeth aught,
No name, no marvels science taught,
When earth and earthly objects wane.
When life is done.

The patient word, the generous thought,
The effort made by hand or brain
'Gainst might for right, though made in

Saved From an Alligator.

While a number of passengers were
waiting for the morning train at Pablo
Beach, Fla, they heard the wall of a
child. Jerry Delaney, Deputy Sheriff
and a former Cincinnati policeman,
headed those who FASTENED to search
for the cause of the cry. A short dis
tance away they saw a big alligator
dragging a child away, having secured
hold of its dress in its mouth. The
child was shrieking. The posse rushed
to the rescue, and the gator redoubled
its efforts to get to its bayou nearby.
A big dog Nbelonging to the child came
running along and dashed at the
gators head. The gator whaclled its
tail around with great force, dashed
the dog into its mouth which it opened
with gulp, taking in the dog and
swallowing him with ease. The gator
dropped hold OF the child's dress in the
struggle. The posse at once killed the
gator. 1t was fifteen feet long. 1t
is thought to have been made fierce
by hunger, as it is seldom that they
will attack human beings and espe-
cially so near habitation. The child
was uninjured.
