All Through Billiards.

This queer incident comes from
Paris. While playing at billiards one
evening recently in his house in Paris
M. Reichart hit a ball SO hard that 1t
bounded from the table and out of an
open window, falling through the glass
roof of drawing room in the next
house and smashing valuable Sevres
vase. The crash so alarmed an An.
CORA cat sleeping on the table close
by that the animal sprang UP and
knocked over lamp, which set fire to
some tapestry and necessitated the
calling out Of the brigade. M. Reich
art was engaged to the niece Of the
invalid lady occupying the house in
which the damage was caused. The
commotion, however, had SO disas-
trous effect on the old lady's nerves
that she died shortly afterwards On
learning the indirect ccuse of her
aunt's death the young lady refused
to marry M. Reichart and the heirs
are now suing him for the damage

On Nov. II the newspapers printed a
dispatch from the City Of Mexico stat

ness had been uncovered BY W. H.
Roy and son on Cottonwood Greek.
about eighteen miles northwest of
Canon City. and . number of them
left at once to investigate for them
selves the extent and value Of the find,
which is believed in some quarters to
be an important one
M Kay Was in town on Friday and
exhibited some free milling ore. whi IN
assayed at the rate of $IIau a ton. He
said it was taken from q lead which
showed an immense quantity of mineral
and that the gold was easily obtainabie
by even the crude processes in vogue
among prosp~ctors The discovery
was made in the vicinity Of Don G.
Cramptons ranch and the day follow
ing Mr.. Rays visit here several men
from this city and South Canon left for
the new diggins" with the intention
of stalking Oh mining claims in what
they hoped would prove to be a new
Ell Dorado.
Among others from this place that
visited the scene of Mr. Rays discovery
last week was Icilius Mann, who staked
off . claim about 500 fret distance from
the original prospect hole. He returned
home last Saturday, but wa> not very
enthusiastic over the outlook. although
he does not go SO far as to assert that
there is no mineral there.
Mr. Mann brought home a number
of samples of ore taken from his claim,
but on having them assayed was only
able To + nd a trace of gold, the assay
showing only about forty cents ton.
he did not visit the claim of the RAYS
ard says he does not know from
personal observation whether they
have anything of value or not,
Undaunted however, by Mr.. Msnps
experience, dozen or more men left
here yesterday and day before and
have stsked off claims in the vicinity
of the reputed discovery, which they
will thoroughly prospect in the hope
of finding an ore body that viii pay
them for its development.
1t is known that Mr.. Rays find is in
the mineral belt which extends in .
northwesterly direction from the Grip
Pile Greek fields and the belief is ex-
pressed that the discovery there may
become one of much Importance.
Among those who left on q prospects

covery day before yesterday were H.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
Others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
If food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
nd gives the child growing
,trength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 10 6nd
it and ,et the matter right.
