The hrst men in the mines were q
sort OF madmen. writes Joaquin Miller
IN the Sunset Magazine. Like Corte7
and his men, they expected every day,
every hour, to come upon untold wealth.
Men really expected to find houses Of
gold, or at least nuggets as big as barns,
remember that l always. day aIIer day,
year after year. expected, some time
and In some strange and sudden way,
to stumble on a colossal fortune. Yet
II should receive rs cents a day for
what work did in the mines there
would to-day be quite a balanceSo my
credit, and hundred thousand miners
could say as much.
No, the mines never paid the men
who worked them greatly, whether in
this rich camp or elsewhere. But the
gold that was dug out contributed TO the
wealth Of the world and carried 1t on and
up, so that no one should now complain.
The great big Jumps Of gold, however,
were never found. You can search the
gold history Of all Australia through and
through, as well as California, and be
surprised to learn that there was never
yet single lump or nugget of gold found
too heavy to be handled by even a wom-
an. Many nuggets we're found, 1t Is
true, that we're very promising in weight
and size. but that was all. Yet they
were like alluring beacon lights, and
every new nugget, or new and rich de-
post OF dust, only excited men the more.
So, like the gold-hunting Spaniards,
they pierced every mountain pass, every
canyon and burrowed In the bed Of every
accessible river on the western slope
before they had been here year. 1t "a
a notable fact that all the placer mines
in California we're found during the first
three months.

Gr0n ObIiteratiOn.

One Of the most famous routes trav-
ersed by the early settlers OF the
southwest was known as the Santa Fe
trail. This has been almost wholly
'obliterated of late years. but the Kan
sas Daughters of the Revolution pro-
pose that 1t shall be marked for the
benefit Of future generations. They are
now seeking to mark 1t through the
state by stone monuments. 1t will not
matter how simple the monuments
may be, they are to be representative
Of the entire state Of Kansas In their
work they propose to interest the
school children Of the various counties
through which the trail runs. These
children will erect the monuments and
will be- aided in their work by the
children OF other counties
Mrs. W. K. Stanley, wife Of ex-Gov.
Stanley, explained the work in a short
talk before the meeting OF the Eliza
beth Benton chapter, held at the home
Of Mrs. Daniel Boone. at has always
been the plan Of the Kansas Daughters
" Saiiy Oh aS much lOCal "oIh dS pOS-
sible," said Mrs Stanley. 1--WE have
marked the spot where the first man
to enter Kansas stood, and now we in
tend to mark the old Santa Fe trail.
We are trying to interest the school
children throughout the state in this,
and especially the children Of the coun-
ties through which the trail passes. We
will make this our work for the COM
ing year, and at the end OF that time
we hope to have marked the entire
length Of the historic old road in our
state"

VALUE OF A GOOD YAwN.
Medical Men Declare II ReIaxsH Tense
Nerves and Contracted Muscles
RESTS the whole Body.

Yawning is not at all times an in
dication OF feeling Of laziness. More
frequently 1t is an evidence that GER
tain muscles have been overstrained
and require rest. Medical men aver
that a yawn is natures demand for
rest. Some people think they only
yawn because they are sleepy But
this is not so. You yawn because you
are tired. You may be sleepy, also. but
that is not the real cause OF your
yawning. You are sleepy because you
are tired, and you yawn because you
are tired
Whenever you feel like yawning, just
yawn. Don't try to suppress it. be-
cause you think It is impolite to
yawn, Put your hand over your
mouth. If you want to. but let the yawn
come. And II you are where you
yawn, just stretch and yawn. This is
natures way of stretching and relax
ing the muscles.
Don't be afraid to open your mouth
wide and yawn and stretch whenever
you feel like IT, Indeed. If you are
very tired, but do not feel like yawn-
ing. there is nothing that will rest you
so quickly as to sit on a straight
backed chair, and. lifting the feet from
the floor, push them out in front Of
you as far as possible stretch the
arms put the head back, open the
mouth wide. and make yourself yawn.
Those tense nerves will relax. the
contracted muscles will stretch, and the
whole body will be rested. Do this
two or three times when you are tired.
and see what 1t will do for you.

From France comes the experiment OF
freezing" human beings as a cure for
some complaints. The original sub
ject" was placed in a steel fur-lined CYL
Under for a quarter of an hour at time,

grees below zero, being circulated
through the cylinders double walls. BY
eight such applications the man was
cured after suffering from dyspepsia for

THE LANGUAGE.
GrOwinK-SOurces from which
Most New Words Come.

The English language is no station
AIRY affair, fixed and limited In It's scope,
but few appreciate how fast It is grow
ing. A new dictionary, just issued, says
the Hartford Post, shows this; in fact,
every new dictionary OF importance
language in completeness does the same
The particular dictionary referred to
gives no less than 1900 new terms or
new meanings OF old words. A large
number OF new terms in the language hi-
ways come from scientific vocabularies.
There is also a considerable addition
through the adoption or modification OF
foreign words. AS maps are expanded,
changed or filled up through the labors
Of geographical explorers, so the in
vestigations Of the savants in astron-
Omy, chemistry, electricity and other
of the physical sciences, as well as In
psychology, economies and philosophy,
index widened mental horizons in terms
guage. The Spanish war brought many
new words into use in the English Ian
guage in this country.
Among the new words that the up-to-
date dictionary must consider are such
terms as DOGGY, a term in golf; border
eau, brlquet, chauffeur, expanslonist,
THEREON. immune. laverick, manywhere,
open door, osteopathist, ping-pong,
popover, radium, ragtime. roof garden,
rough rider, two-step, Zionism.

THREE YEARS LATE.
Has just Reached Its Destina-
ton rs Miles Away.

Persons who become fretful over the
delays of surface cars or the detention
of steam trains ought to sit up and be
cheerful when they read what the New
York Press has to say of Texas train.
The Press declares that recently Gulf
g. Interstate railway train arrived in
Beaumont nearly three years late, and
explains the matter as follows
The train left Bolivar, just across
Galveston bay from Galveston, on Sep
TENDER s, 1900, and was caught in the
great storm which so nearly destroyed
Galveston. Bolivar is rs miles from
Beaumont Before the train had trav-
eled far on its journey 1t was caught in
the storm. Thirty miles of the track
were washed away, and the train was
left stranded on a sandy waste
Dozens of persons who lived on Boil
var peninsula were saved from death
by taking refuge in the train. After
the storm subsidized they walked to
Boliyar with the passengers But the
abandoned train was left on the prairie.
The storm banltrupted the railroad.
and no effort to rescue the engine and
cars was made until recently Had the
road not suffered so seriously in that
storm the property would have proved
of great value few months later, when
oil was struck at Beaumont. The road
is now undergoing repairs and develop
ment, and little while ago the train
was drawn into Beaumont. where 1t was
greeted by cheering multitude.

THE TABARD INN LIBRARY.
Two Well Equipped Modern Libraries for
Westminster.

! A number Of our most enterprising citizens
are planning to equip Westminster and the
| smaller towns and country surrounding with
modern library, of the kind usually found IN
| the greater cities of the world only. This IS
a long felt need, and it is to he hoped that
! sufficient number will avail themselves of the
opportunity to make the proposed library an
| assured success. The library will be com
| plete one. suited to the wants of an educated
community. and will contain 4j0 different
books each month. and a sufficient number OF
duplicates to supply all demands. The books
will be as fresh. new and attractive as when
first taken from the booksellers shelves, and
ali the best books will be supplied as soon as
published.
Tits proposed to have books which will meet
the wants of clergymen, teachers, and all pro
tessional men, as well as books for children,
| aud the general public, including works OF
fiction, travel, history, poetry and along all
lines of literature The books are purchased
for these libraries IN unlimited quantities, as
fast as required, aud only in the best bindings,
each book being enclosed in neat case of its
own. The books will be placed in a hand
some revolving book stand, easy of access at
| any time, aud one will be stationed at each
end ct town.
Members have the privilege of taking books
out of either library and also from any OF the
thousands Of similar branches of the same
/ organization in operation throughout the civil
| zei world. The cost of membership Is only
81. 80 per year, or - for life Members have
the privilege of taking books out. by deposit
/ ing a ticket, which costs the small sum OF
cents. twenty five for 81. Books can be re
tanned as long AS wanted without extra charge,
| and these are the only expenses of membership
