THE OLD MAN sUCCUMBED

The old gentleman didn't want the
young gentleman to marry the young
lady, the young lady being the old
gentleman's daughter.
So when the young gentleman came
on the all important mission, the old
gentleman set his face against the
young gentleman.
''No, sir said he, with angry en-
phasis, you can not have my daugh-
ter. -
''But I want her." urged the young
gentleman, land, what is of some con-
sideration in the count, she wants
me-
"That makes no difference, sir, you
can't have her,
''That means, l presume, that you
want me to give her ups
Exactly"
The young gentleman took a hitch
in himself.
"Do you think 1 am going to do
it?n he asked, in tone which did not
strike the old gentleman as altogether
submissive.
81 do"
"Well, no wonder you don't want
me for son-in-law if you think I'm
that kind of fellow. | don't blame
you at all L wouldn't have that kind
of a son-in-law myself, even if sons
in-law were going at premium. But
my dear sir, I'm not that kind. 1
want your daughter for my wife, and
I'm going to have her; she wants .me
for husband, L: have no objection to
you as a father-in-law, and she rather
admires you as a father. Therefore,
am warranted in joining the com
bination, and if you want to act ugly,
why, we will as dutiful children,
humOr your within, and spatch it up
somehow with the friends of the fam
lily who will be wanting to know what
is the matter with you anyhow. See ~
And the old gentleman had wisdom
enough to understand the situation
exactly and as result young rail
road man will soon return to Mexico
with as sweet a bride as man could

CHILDREN IN THE WHITE HOUSE
The west likes a candid man, and it
loves a brave man-and it sees enough
of the qualities of candor and bravery
in the youngest of all the presidents
to warm its heart toward him might
ily. 1t believes in the broad Ameri
canism of his politics, and in the sin
certify of his public and private pro-
fessions. Also, it likes the spectacle
of children playing in the White
House yard. Grover Cleveland was
never before so close to the hearts of
the westerners as he was Immediately
after the family doctors announced
the safe arrival of Baby Ruth. Baby
Ruth is now, no doubt, tall girl-al-
most a young woman. The country as
a whole and the west in particular,
likes to see the White House reflect
average normal family life. The logic
of the feeling seems to be that man
who fulfills the conditions of average
healthy American family life is a safe
man to trust in charge of public bust
ness. He understands better than q
bachelor-like Dave Hill, say-possi-
bly, could understand, the hopes and
motives of average Americans. Bryan
in the White House would have been
stronger with the plain people because
of his troop of sturdy children. Joe

DECLINE THE
NEW WAGE SCALE
Three Mining Camps
Close Down Work.
Various RumOrs Concerning Pro
posed Action at a Number
of Other Camps.

As far as heard from only three
camps have been closed down on ac-
count OF the eight hour law. Those
are the Oriental at Big Bug, the
Yaeger Canyon Copper company at
Yaeger Canyon and the Model com
pany's camp at Kirkland. When no
titled by the managers of the respect
i've camps that the scale of wages
adopted by the mine operators would
be strictly adhered to the men quit
work, without the formality of declar-
ing strike. 1t is rumored however
today that at least two of the above
camps will be bulletined by the min
ers as having a strike on. 1t was even
reported that notices to that effect
have been printed but the Journal
Miner has not seen any such printed
notices and the rumor is given for
what it is worth.
Another miner in discussing this
rumor said that the unions here have
no authority to declare a strike, but
orders for such a proceeding must be
issued from headquarters of the feder-
alton, after due notice of the grievance
had been presented to 1t, and consid-
cred. This is also given as received,
as the Journal Miner is not in posi-
ton to either affirm or deny the cor
rectness of it.
\ number of miners have quit other
camps, but no general strike has &C.
CURED. In one or two instances agi-
tators who were attempting to create
dissatisfaction among miners have
been discharged.
The usual periodical rumors con
corning a strike at jerome was also in
circulation but it could not be traced
to any reliable source, and it is only
a short time since that the secretary
of the union there issued public no.
tice that no strike would occur.
In conversation with the superin-
tendent of a mining company the
Journal Miner representative was in
formed that so far as his company was
concerned the scale of the operators
would be strictly adhered to, and that
if miners cannot be secured at the
wages adopted the property will be
closed down indefinitely. This scale
which has already been published is
as follows:
Stopping, s..
Trammers, 3. 50.
Muckers. 3.
Machine men. 81. 30.
Sinking. -. 30.
Timbermen. s.. 30.

gram of sports is being arranged and
a number of features viii be added
this time which it was impossible to
give before, among them being a
fencing bout in which two gentlemen
from the great dueling nation of

gentlemen has fought two real duels
and bears the scars of sword wounds
upon his body, and he is said to be
very expert with the fOils While his
opponent has not had the same realis-
tic experience he is nevertheless an
expert with the foiIs and very eX-
citing combat is expected.
Another interesting feature will be
a slack wire exhibition that will sur
prise some of the natives.
The orchestra will furnish the music
and altogether the entertainment will
be one which will be we'll worth at

An Eskimo Love Story.

The duke of the Abruzzi has brought
back with him from his polar expedi-
tion number of Eskimo stories. One
of these concerns a young Eskimo
who loved the daughter of an enemy.
The two huts of these persons were
close together, but one night the ter
rfc cold ripped a great crevasse in the
ice, and the young mans house was
left isolated. A gorge 100 feet deep
and 20 feet wide separated it from the
igloo, or hut, containing the girl /;
but there was narrow bridge of ice
left across the crevasse, and this, the
young man fonnd would bear his
weight.
Eskimos sleep in bags. The lover
decided that he would that night
cross the ice bridge, steal the maiden
he loved, bear her to his hut, and then
break down the bridge, SO thas he eud
she together might enjoy their honey
moon unmolested. He planned very
successfully. He crept, in the dead
of night into his enemy's hut; he
snatched up the maiden in her sack
without awaking any enc; he bore her
over che ice bridge safely, and when
he opened the sack to embrace his
bride. But, beholding its contents,
he gave loud cry. He had bagged
the old man London Society.

| WORD TO FARM TOlLERS.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend Of the
Farmer and His Family.

After the labors and tolls of the summer time,
and harvesting of crops in the early autumn,
many of our farmers, their wives, daughters,
and sons, find themselves in condition OF
health demanding careful attention if suffering
is to be avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble in some form; with some the
liver is torpid; there is biiousness, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss of appetite and depression
of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
to cold, damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields, now feel the twinges oi
terrible rheumatism; others run down by
worry, overwork, and irregular dieting, are
tormented with the pangs of dyspepsia.
To the thousands of run down, sickly, and
half dead men and women in fam homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend, Paine's Celery Compound.
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength to the weak body and vigor tc
the muscles. Paine's Celery Compound tones
the stomach; it removes poisonous acids from
the blood which cause rheumatism; it FEEDS
the weak and diseased nerves and baaishes
neuralgic tortures; it purifes the blood ard
gives true vitality andife The use of Fa;ne:s
Celery Compound in autumn means the estab-
fishing of a perfect physical vigor 10 Withstand

KENTUCKY REPUBLICANS MEET.
RooseyeIt's Candidacy Endorsed
With Enthusiasm.

Louisville, KY, July 15.-Spectacu-
lar in the extreme was the opening
session of the Kentucky Republican
convention at the auditorium this
afternoon and the situation is full OF
Possibilities for more interesting
events. The two salient features OF
the afternoon session we're first, an en-
dorsement of President Roosevelt's S
candidacy in 1904, and second almost
a stampede to former Gov. VIM. o;
Bradley, who is not an announced
candidate, for governor.
The endorsement of President Roose-
velt's candidacy in 1904 upset the cal
culation of several shrewd leaders,
who it is alleged we're figuring on lg-
noring that point.
Chairman Barnet announced That
the State central committee would
waive its right arbitrarily to name a
temporary chairman and called for
nominations. Maj. Wm. G. Owens
was named by the Belknap forces,
while Charles Blanford received a
large part of the combined strength OF
the Wilson and Pratt forces. The re-
suit was vote of !, 1,571 to.675 in favor
of Owens. This vote cast in the con-
test for governor would enable Belk-
nap to win even should he lose the
contested Louisville delegations S 249
votes.

SeIf-Defense.

The following suggestive little
dialogue appears in the Home Com
panion. A touch of surprise tends to
fix the attention, and so to assist the
memory.
"Do you think it would be wrong
for me to learn the noble art of self
defence?' a religiously inclined young
man inquired of his pastor.
Certainly. not, !" answered the min
lister. 81 learned it in youth myself,
and l have found it of great value dur
ing my life. -
"Indeed, sir! Did you learn the old
English system or Sullivan's system?"
Neither. I learned Solomon's S
system
Yes; you will find it laid down in
the first verse Of the fifteenth chapter of
Proverbs. "A soft answer turneth
away wrath. It is the best system of
self-defence of which l have ever
heard?"

EBIs0A's FIRST INVENTION.
d Worked While He Slept Till He
Lost a Job by It.

Ia statement that has been going the
rnrnds OF sha press of late relative tc
She great number Of Inventions patent.
aa by Thomas A. Edison makes nc
mention OF his first labor-saying de,
Fice, which, though it cost him dear,
was never sent to the patent office
cr placed upon the market, though II
did the work perfectly for which II
was designed.
This Invention, forgotten by all
save few old telegraph operators and
ne wizard himself, was thought out
IA the DAYS when Mr.. Edison earned
his daily bread operating the Boston
New York night wire of what is now
he Western Union Telegraph Com
uanF. The pay was net particularly
large, but the work was llghtIso
light That New York, IN order TO make
sure shat the man on the Hub emo OF
slas wire was attending to business,
gsr.ranged for him to call up every
bur. after midnight, give his Official
call and sign, it being argued that
Iris would keep him awake. 1t old
keep Edison awake for a few weeks.
sraan he set about utilizing MS spare
sinae on e device which would beat the
sssmart ones who ruled the New York
ofsce.
Tue result was all that could be ex-
Dected from Mr. Edison successes IN
later life. It was an arrangemenS OF
battery with clock and a circuit
breaking instrument which. at the
ngoper tine, would give New York the
fooEed-for signals. For weeks, it
vas the marvel Of Mr.. Edison S friends
that he GOT along with SO little sleep.
Then the denouement came IN the
form Of a call for Boston from New
YORK with very Important message.
Though Boston had signa1led but 8
fey minutes before. it was found
i;YaDossibIe to g raise that city when
& WAS necessary to send she message.
Nearly an hour later, the New YORK
operator vas rounding away when the
cSrcs.is vas Saaned and the sounder
ssave off Bn. @. Z. Immediate
" the call for Boston was renewed.
f6us no answer caEa for an hour, when
Ehs magic signal was again repeated.
q II night long, the wire was watch
I'd, and, when morning came, the
. manager 3 as Boston was asked to ex-
plain the mystery.
The manager-a canny Sco-kneW a
hing or two, or at least he shought
he did, and, without saying word 30
ANYBODY, examined the clock and Edi-
sos,s locker, finding there the tell
aIa wires and mechanism. That night,
when the future Wizard showed up
for work, he found that the manager
rad decided to gSEe him 81. " which,
IA teiegraphic talk, SPELLS discharged.
Edison knew well enough what he
vas discharged for, and so left the
next day fol. New. Yorl. and the career
which has since made his name a
household word the world over. .-Phlla-

Prof. Jacobs found that, while
among Englishmen the number OF
insane is 3, 500 per million and among
Sccschmen 8, 400, the number among
the Jews equals 8, 800. servi found
one lunatie to every 291 Jews in Italy.
Nayr states that to each Il, 0co
Ehristiaas IN Germany there are Sc
insane, while among the Jews the
number reaches 16.1. In Eavaria the
proportion is still g-eater-9.S s among
Christians and 25.2araong Jews. Rjaz-
ansky gives his experience OF ten years
uracfics IN small own, Dagd, with q
population made up of LOLA Jews
and 32s Christians. Among the Jews
he observed Z cases CT nervous and
mental diseseas, while. on the other
hand, not a single case of mental TN
balance occurred among the Christians.
There is every reason to believe that
the nervous strain under which the
Jews have lived a2d still live IN Euro
pean countries aided by the intensi-
6cation of predisposition by close IN
5ermarriage, is accountable for the
prevalence Of insanity in this race.
