BATTLE UNDER GROUND
Ore Thieves Make Desperate Fight In
Independence Mine.

Oro Inievos mako desperate Ffght In
Independence Mine.
A desperate battle four hundred feet
under ground between ore thieves and
officers and trusted employees occurred
in the Independence mine ON Battle
mountain, rear Victor, Col.
Between fifty and seventy-five shots
were exchanged between the opposing
parties. Lee Glockner, a member of
the company's force, was shot twice,
but not seriously injured.
The fight was most determined, but
the pirates finally gained the upper
hand and forced the company's men to
retreat toward the big shaft, giving
the thieves an opportunity to escape.
The management of STATIONS indie
%yendence company of London, Eng
land, which owns the Independence
mine, has been aware for a long time
that rich deposits of s~ylvanite in the
mine were being systematically robbed,
the stealings amounting to thousand S
of dollars "a month.
Detectives were employed and it is
said the thieves were detected in the
act of looting q rich seam Of ore. They
escaped through the underground
workings connected with an adjoining
building.

There was never an innocent and
improving pastime. suitable alike to
the learned and the laity, to compare
in genuine fun and literary profit with
the spelling bee" So general has
econ the vice OF bad photography
that signs multiply in favor OF a re-
vival OF the bee" There Will be q
little more difficulty than Of old in
agreeing upon a standard, but the
words spelled more ways than one are
comparatively few and not important.
Teachers OF spelling, the few that re-
main in the schools, should be the frs,
to encourage the jolly "bee" and are
liable not to be the last to be spelled
down.

uNoRowNED ENGLISH QUEENS.
No Less Than Seven Have Missed the
Hon or OF q Coronation.

No Less Than Seven Have Missed the
Honor OF q Coronation.
As a rule, most English queens have
been solemnly crowned, whether they
rcigned in their own right or as wives
Of royal husbands. To this rule. how
ever, there are seven exceptions.
The first was Margaret OF France,
the young. plain, amiable second wife
OF Edward 1. He had spent so much
money in c%onQuering Wales and In
trying to conquer Scotland that he
could not afford the expenses OF q
coronation for his girl bride, and she
had to do without the splendors OF the
pageant.
King Henry VIII took care that
Anne Boleyn should be crowned with
extreme magnifcence. He desired to
show the world how much he loved
her and how very much he defed the
bishop Of Rome.
The four wives who succeeded her
were never crowned at all. For one
thing, money ran short, and, for an
other, there may have lurked, even In
his masterful mind, a sense OF the
fitness Of things" which may have
caused him to shrink from publicly
browning so many ladies in such very
rapid succession.
At any rate the beloved Jane Sey-
mour. the despised Anne of Cleves,
the girlish Catherine Howard and the
wary Catherine Parr were never cor
secrated in public as queen-consorts OF
England.
Henrietta Maria, wife Of Charles I,
refused to be crowned. She was
young, she was pretty, she was a
French princess, and she declined to
take part in a state function, which
would compel her to partake Of the
sacrament according to church Of
England rites.
Sophia Dorothea of Zell cannot be
reckoned among the seven, because
she was never called queen of Eng
land at all. While George I was be-
Ing crowned, and Amounted, and
bored, the lady Of Ahlden was pining
In her long, monotonous captivity.
Caroline Of Brunswick is the last,
and most remarkable instance OF the
uncrowned English queens. Though
George w had been forced from popu-
lar indignation to give up the bill Of
pains and penalties against her, moth
ing would induce him to let her share
his coronation. She was not permitted
to be present in Westminster Abbey
at all.
Repulsed from all the entrances, she
returned to her house, to die within
three weeks Of a violent fever,
brought on by months OF fearful ex-
citement.-Lady's Pictorial.

bondsman, Frank Cafourek, to recover
Judgment on a $50 10 bond. Sebesta
was arrested several months q for
making a malicious assault upon a
young mar named William Warge, in

for several days it vas feared he would

found near the railroad depot shortly
after train No. % had left the station.
The body had been literally beheaded
and only fragments of the head and
cap could be found. The coroner's
jury found Garrietts was accidentally
run over by the train, generating the
railroad company. There were no
witnesses to the occurrence and the
public opinion rather defines it as pre-.

INDEX OF A MANS MIND.
Walt TIL He Crosses His Logs Before
You Disturb Him.

Walt TIL He Crosses His Legs Before
You Disturb Him.
There are many indexes to the mind.
but l learned a new one the other day
when l called to see a busy man at
his office down on Broad street.
When l entered the outer Office 1t
was quite evident that he was in, for
I could see him through an open door,
leaning over his desk, quite intent on
papers that lay in front Of him. l
spoke to the clerk in attendance,
whom l know well, and asked that he
announce me He glanced into the
other oom before speaking.
Wait a minute or two" he said,
lit will be better. for he will have
you come in the moment l say you
are here"
I didn't quite understand what he
meant, but / took a seat to wait a
minute or two. l waited five of them
and then spoke again.
Wait until he crosses his legs" an
swered the clerk.
What has that to do with it," I
asked.
Everything" he replied. "He
doesn't like to be disturbed when he
is busy, and 7 know he is very busy
because he has his legs out straight.
A man never thinks hard with his
legs crossed. AS soon as his mind
lets up a little, then he straightens,
crosses his legs and is ready for WIS.,
itors and a chat. When his legs go
down again 1t is time for the visitor
to take his leave. Just bear that In
mind and see II l am not right"
AS he finished speaking up went the
legs, and I was announced and re-
ceived at once.-New York Herald.

I%NCULCATING THRIFT
CHICAGO INSTITUTION THAT HAS
HAD SPLENDID RESULTS.
School Children Taught the Value of
Their Spare Pennies-Money Saved
Always with a View to q Definite
Purpose.

The recent report OF a penny savings
society, which has existed in Chicago
for four years, shows how successful
little side Issues in the educational
way often are. During four years the
boys and girls of that city have pur-
chased 2,574,O50 stamps, ranging in
denomination from one cent to fifty
cents and agregating 1851, 5SS.
The Chicago Penny Savings Society
is the outgrowth of a suggestion made
In 1896 by the Rev. r. A. White, then
a member Of a Civic Federation COM
mittee. Its friends started IL with
contributions amounting to $525, to
which $3.50 was added later, all to
provide equipment and money for run
ming expenses. In 1898 the board Of
education decided that teachers in the
public schools might act as agents for
the society and its mission since then
has been largely among school child
rem. Other stations have been opened,
however, in social settlements, charity
bureau offices, stores, missions, nurs-
cries, county schools and even in pri-
vdtC hOuScS. lHeI5 are dDOuL lou
such stations In Chicago at present,
where one may make deposits Of one
cent and upward.
The purpose Of the society Is to
teach habits of thrift and self-denial.
1t aims to show children how they
may help themselves by saving their
money instead Of wasting 1t on USE
less things. 1t distinctly disavows any
intention Of intoxicating misery hab-
its, for 1t advises its depositors to
save their money with a view to using
1t for a specific purpose. 1t teaches
the children that by saving pennies
wasted on sweets and popcorn and pea
nuts they may buy themselves books.
clothing and other useful things. One
vacation twelve children who had
never been outside OF Chicago were
able to spend two weeks in the country
on their savings. In one school in
a poor quarter the children saved $500
In six months. and the boys alone were
able to equip a school band with in
struments.

Her Intentions w ere Good.

She really intended paying her fare
when she boarded the street car, for
she had ten cents saved from the bar
gain day scrimmage, but the conductor
happened to be a gentleman, and, by
paying the fare himself, saved her a
weary walk to the family residence.
She had the ten cents with her when
she boarded the car. and she still had
the money when the conductor came
through on his trip for fares, but she
did not pay the conductor. 1t was all
the motorman's fault. With her arms
full of bundles she was compelled to
hold the ten-cent piece between her
teeth. The motorman turned on the
current, the car gave q jerk and she
gave a start. Fare, please" said the
conductor and she turned pale. II
can't pay YOU" she stammered. going
from white to red and from red back
to white. But I can't carry you for
nothing" demonstrated the conductor.
II know 1t. but I can't help 1t. I had
the money when l got on the car, but
but l swallowed It," A crouch on
the other side Of the a snorted a
rude laugh, but the conductor was a
gentleman, and without another word
he pulled the register rope for an
other fare and passed on.-St. Paul
