THE DEATH VALLEY BORAx.
Lucky Discovery Changed Lives OF .
Settler and His wife.

Lucky Discovery Changed Lives OF .
Settler and His wife.
In 1880 Aaron Winters lived with
his wife, Rosie, in gulch known as
Ash Meadows, not far from the mouth
of Death Valley. He was SO fond Of
his wife that he would not allow her
to be long absent from him. although
their little hut on the side Of the
mountain was 100 mics from the near
est neighbor, in a Wild rugged, for
saken country. ~.s :
One day desert tramp came along
and spent the night at the Winters
home. He told the hunter about the
borax deposits Of Nevada. When he
went away Winters thought that he
had seen deposits of the same kind on
his explorations into Death Valley
. Accordingly he and his wife went
together to make the search, having
previously provided themselves with
certain test chemicals, which, when
combined with borax and ignited,
would produce green flame.
Having procured a piece of the SUBJ
stance which he believed to be borax
Winters and his wife waited for night
fall to make the test How would 1t
burn?
For years they had lived like Piutes
on the desert, entirely without luxu-
ries and often wanting for the very
necessaries of life. Would the match
change all that?
Winters held the blaze to the sub
stance with a trembling hand, then
shouted at the top of his voice: She
burns green, Rosie! We're rich!
We're rich!"
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for $4,000, and Winters took
his Rosie to a ranch in Nevada.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

Nurses Experience.

Nurses Experience.
Medical men say that good nurse
in difficult case is better than med.
icine, but when we can get a good
nurse and good medicine, the patient
stands much better chance of re-
covery. The few words of advice
given below by nurse Eliza King, arc
well worthy the attention Of all
readers:
II have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in
the various situations I have occupied as
nurse, and have invariably found it excellent
in all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affections,
neuralgia, etc. In cases of pleurisy it is an
excellent remedy-well rubbed in. can
strongly recommend it after several years.

household" 20.
Sister CAROLINA, St. Andrews Hospital,
writes: II have found St. Jacobs Oil most
eficacious remedy in govt also in sprains and
bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much
in its praise, and our doctor is ordering it
constantly"

Caution.

This is not gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase for 15 cents the only remedy
universally known and a remedy that
has had the largest sale of any medi-
cine in the world since 1865 for the
cure and treatment of consumption
and throat and lung troubles without
losing its great popularity all these
years, you will be thankful we called
your attention to Boschce's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for
light colds perhaps, but for severe
coughs, bronchitis, croup--and espec-
tally for consumption, where there is
difficult expectoration and coughing
during the nights and mornings, there
is nothing like German Syrup. Sold

since the adjournment of congress has
been the announcement of Senator
Platt of New York that his state and
Pennsylvania will support Mr.. Roose-
welt in the next national convention.
Senator Platt seldom speaks for publ
cation but when he does he speaks to
some purpose and there is no one in
congress whose predictions are receiv-
ed with greater respect From the
fact that he includes Pennsylvania in
his prediction it is safe to assume that

adding these assurances to the num-
Der of states which have already en-
dorSed not only the present admins

there is no doubt in the minds of the
leaders of political thought in Wash

idential candidate of the republican
party.
With the unbounded energy which
has characterized this administration,
work on the prelminaries fer the Pan
anna canal is being pushed rapidly
both in the state department and the
department of justice. The original
plans for this work provided that the

the bill the price to be paid for the de-

which price will include rental for the
first fourteen years and that. thereaf-

OF course it will require the action of
the United States senate and of the

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Breezy Gossip on Various Topics
From the Nations Capita.

President Roosevelt's utterance at
Pittsburg. in regard to the necessity
for solving the trust problem, has at,
tracted widespread attention and has
been the chief subject of discussion in
political circles in Washington this
week. The presidents manly declara
ton was quickly followed by the an
nouncement that Representative Lit.
tleiieid of Maine, successor to the late
Nelson Dingley, had been selected to
draft a bill which would conform to
the views of the President and Attor.
ney General Knox. Whether Mr.. Lit.
tletield will do this at the presidents
request or on his own initiative is not
known, but that the measure will be
so drawn as to meet with the approval
of the president and his attorney gen.
eral is certain. Mr.. Littletied is as
decessOr and the country has no ground
to fear that any measure which meets
with the approval of these three will
have any prejud.cial effect upon the
industries of the country; neither is
there any ground for questioning the
sincerity with which they will attack
the problem. AIR RooSevelt's state.
ment in regard to trusts, in his first
message to congress, was conservative
and logical and the bill introduced by
Mr.. Littletield during the early hours
of the ffty-seventh congress, but
which was never reported by the ju
dietary committee, scarcely less so
therefore the people will look for q
conservative, practical and effective
measure as result of the combined
efforts of Messrs. Roosevelt, LittlefielG
and Knox.
As was to have been expected, mum
erOus sensational stories have beer
given to the public as a result of the
presidents determination to deal with
the trust problem, the most promi
nent among them being to the effect
that Mr.. Roosevelt would endeavor tt
organize "a Roosevelt party" in con
gress during the coming session anC
through it to >helve the recognized
leaders of the republican party. ThaI
the PRESIDENT would contemplate OF
even countenance any movement whicl
must inevitably result in separating
the party into factions is regarded a:
absolutely unworthy of credence by
those who know ever so little about
him. Mr.. Roosevelt is a man of great
tirmness of purpose and of strong con
victions and his public utterances have
left no room for doubt that he will
during the next session of congress
firmly and persistently advocate recip
rocity with Cuba and some measure
that will enable the federal govern
ment to curtail the power of the trusts
but that he will attempt to build up ;
faction of personal supporters is re
garded as preposterous. In fact, there
is every Indication that his views vii
receive the warm support, not only o
the people, but of the majority of his
party in the national Legislature and i
there arise any factiOnal divisions tht
blame can not be laid at his door.

Athletics For Women.

The subject Of physical culture is
attracting more general attention at
the present time than ever before.
Men and women are beginning to see
that through it not only is the power
for work and, therefore, for earning
money increased, sickness avoided and
life heightened by exercise, but that
physical development and strength
are to be desired for their own sakes.
While women are benefited in much
the same way and by the same exer-
cises as men, there are certain essen
tial differences between the. sexes
which must be considered ia order to
attain the highest degree Of physical
and mental development. The Feb
ruary Delineator contains the opening
article of valuable series on athletics
for women, under the heading, Physi-
cal Culture at Home.
