America Is second to France In the
annual value of its silk production. In
1900 40 per cent of the silk used in this
country was manufactured here-an
increase of 81 per cent since 1860 and
or 10 per cent since 1890. America
now produces 80 per cent OF the silk
| ribbons annually sold here. The goods
now principally imported from Enrope
are high-class novelties, handmade silk

There Is very little competition from
abroad with domestic manufactures of
sewing silk and machine twist. In
fact, the United States product Is uni
yersally acknowledged as superior in
finnish OF purity and dye to that Of any
other country, Because only the best
Japan and China failures. dyed I'M
weighted, are used. 1t is noteworthy
that at the Paris exposition OF 1900
the grand prix d'honneur, the highest
award given, was awarded to an Amer
lean exhibitor OF this class OF silks.
More raw silk is sold annually In
New York than is consumed In France,
which is the largest raw-sllk consum-
Ing country of Europe. As to the sell
ing value Of the product, the United
States ranks second, being surpassed
by France, which still dominates,

The character In fiction who bought
a door plate on which was engraved
the name OF Thompson" with a 'p."
because there might be daughter who
would grow up and marry man of
that name, has a parallel In real life,
says the New York Post. This worthy
lives on Long Island, where. besides a
coy home, he has vast barn filed
with bargains from a thousand auction
sales. No one knows how many objects
he possesses In his treasure house. Ac-
cording to rumor there were more than
10000 a decade ago. and the list has
been growing steadily ever since.
On one occasion he secured some an
Client circus horses, which were SO &C.
complished that they could do every.
thing but talk, and for many months
he tried to persuade his friends and
nelghbors to start a hlppodrome in or
der to utilize his purchases. On an
other occasion he notified party OF ac-
quaintances that he had just secured
three misfit tombstones al great bar
gain. By cutting out letters they would
be just as good as new. and would cost
only one-quarter the price of frst-hand-
ed ones.
One evening when he was canvassing
for orders a friend who had become
wearied of his opportunities said:
Look here, my good man, I'm sorry
that you never have anything | want.
or that don't want what you are al.
ways offering; but l would like to do
business with you"
The bargain hunter and museum
owner responded: "If there is any
thing you want am sure must have

The other unwarlly replied: There
Is only one thing | need. and of course
can't get that in this part of the
country. It's steel windmill. like
those they use out In Kansas"

his hand energetically. remarklng: Il

Charley" Montgomery. famous all
over Arizona as hunter and who was
chief OF scouts under Gen. Crook dur
ing the trouble with the Apaches, was
engaged to extermlnate the animals
which have been raiding the herds.
Montgomery engaged 100 men of the
Pima tribe and held big roundup of

a score of the cowboys surrounded q

ually closed In toward the center. with
300 dogs In the rodeo. As they reached
the center of the circle catamounts,
black bears, coyotes and an occasional
grizzly bear tried to break through The
line, but were met by shower Of bull
lets. Dozens Of animals persisted in
the attempt to escape, but 200 others
were finally cornered In a box canyon.
While redskins and cowpanehers pick
ed them of from the rocks above.
There were scores OF close conflicts
with the enraged and frightened brutes
and in one melee four Indians were
fearfully mangled by grizzly before
their shots finally finished the bear.
One OF the reds, Antonio Hermo a for
mer chief OF the tribe. received fatal
wounds from the claws OF big fellow.
The dogs closed in on the victims and
dozens OF them were killed before the
slaughter was complete. The final
count showed nineteen dead mountain
lions, five grizzlies. two lynxes and
over 100 coyotes-doubtless the biggest
roundup OF wild animals that has ever
occurred In Arizona.-Chicago Sunday
