A WYOMING BAD MAN
"The Virginian" as it was not Written

To Owen Mister:
 As the following pages stand nobody will perhaps think that you wrote them, and such is indeed the case Some of them you might have not praised, others you have been unable to read at all, and most of them you might have had rewritten had you supposed that they would have been attributed to your pen. Nevertheless, to you the author wishes to say that. poor though he may be, after having read The Virginian" he cannot with hold from you his changeless admira- ton.

THE RIVAL SAFE MAKERS
A German Mechanic Broke Up a
 Monopoly and Its Safe Door.

For several years there has been
 fierce warfare among the manufactur-
 CTS of bank safes. Bank safes cost
 from $1 800 to $10,000 each and there is
 big money in the business. The aim
 of the manufacturer is to get them as
 nearly burglar proof as possible. Two
 or three years ago a new company ap-
 peared in the business to manufacture
 what may be called the salt rising
 steel safe. They said it could not be
 blown open with dynamite, nitro-g -gly- cerin or any other high explosive, and challenged the makers of other safes to competition. The rules were that
 the Salt Rising company would furnish one of the Sa1eS for the operations of the rival company, while the rival company's safe was to be blown up by | the Salt Rising people. For while | all the safe companies were afraid to
 meet the offer, for it was believed the | dynamite proof safe was not made At ! last one company accepted the offer: l The safes were shipped to country | town and unioaded in a field. At the | appointed hour the agents of the com | panies appeared and with them several
 men in burglary insurance business. ! The rival safe was blown after twenty
 shots of nitro- -glycerin, while the Salt | Rising safe withstood the tests and $lOO
 would repair all the damage done to | it. The Salt Rising people began a very heavy campaign of advertising, telling of the test and they sold many | of the safes. So sure were they that | they had the burglar proof safe that , they published broadcast the list of purchasers of their safes. Other safe
 men were blue. They were losing their | trade and there seemed no way to check it. The Yeast Safe company-a good enough name-had banker in | Sudbury. O., purchase Salt Rising | safe. This was reconsigned to the | Yeast company. When it arrived at
 their shops the foreman was called into the front office and was told by the

NEW STYLES IN DINNER CARDS
See Moss Painting on Delicateiy
 Tinted Paper.

Dinner cards painted in sea moss will grace many Back Bay table this season, and in consequence cer- tain clever young artist will be more plentifully supplied with the coin of the realm, says the Boston Transcript
 The idea came to the girl while at a quaint Cape Cod resort this summer. Morning after morning as she walked along the beach she noticed the eX- quisite sea moss spreading itself in lit tie pools of water caught up in the hollows of the rocks. Idly she slipped her hand under the fragile fernlike design and then an idea come to her. "A photograph frame!" she exclaimed. II wonder if it would hold it's color. And so she made the experiment.. It was something of disappointment, that first frame, but it was pleasing enough to make a second trial well worth while.
 Three or four experimental frames were sent to friends in the mountains and brought forth not only letters of enthusiastic appreciation, but orders for more.
 Last season this young artist raked her brain for new designs for name cards for the dinners which her cap tious society patrons were always Siv- ing.
 The sea moss painting came as an in- spiration. She made a dozen cards and sent them to some of the women on her list. t] HfRX
 Orders came in by the wholesale. and the girl realized that one morning of idle wandering mad resulted in d busy summer.
 Now, in a studio, there are boxes filled with beautifully painted cards and there are jars of sea water stand ing all along the mantel. each filled with floating moss.
 The process is not difficult, but re- quires patience.
 To begin with. the cardboard used must have q mat surface.
 The moss is kept in water and the card is submerged while the moss is spread upon it.
 Alter arranging the moss in the proper place. take the card from the water and with the point of a needle fix each little tendril in exact relatio to the neighbor and each twig sepa- rate. Some moss may need some ad- hesive, but much of it possesses a gela- tinous quality which renders glue un- necessary.
 After arranging the moss perfectly place thin cloth over the card and press under heavy weights until quite dry.
 Some of the cards are delicately tint ed, as for example q soft gray which | has a charming mass design in pale | green, or light green card with the moss in dull pink. Others have bevel- | ed or torn edges. Yet others have { | cleverly 1ettered quotation from some well known sea song, which makes { | pleasing change.
 | One set has painted in pale pink ; 1 sea shell from the heart of which th' 1 moss appears to grow. | Another set has in the corner, sur rounded on three sides by the moss, 2 | tiny, ocean view done in water colors

ROOT IS A SPHINX.

Secretary Root is the sphinx of this administration. It is known by every body who does business with him, es- pecially the newspaper men. that he never tells anything he doesn't want known or gives ever the slightest basis of d clue. The correspondent of a New York paper recently tried to draw him out in regard to the movement to make him the republican nominee for gover- nor of New York. After several in- effectual efforts to get MT Root to eX- press himself one way or the other on the subject, the scribe quietly remark ed: Well, you know, l suppose. MT. Secretary, that they are talking about you for governor" To this the war secretary replied with a smile. "Is that so? Well. it's better to be talked about as a candidate for governor than as a candidate for states prison." And the interview was closed.

MOLASSES CURE
FOR CANCER

Our Mackay correspondent telegraphs
hibited in connection with the alleged
cure for cancer discovered here some
months ago by man named Braun,
who cured himself with special treat
ment, in which a preparation of mo-
lasses formed an important part on
Wednesday last DR.. Henzell, medical
officer for the district, and resident
surgeon at the Mackay Hospital, in the
course of an interview stated the graft
flying news of two hospital patients,
both of whom We're suffering from
groWths i'm the stomach, being cured
by the molasses treatment. one case,
that of man named Conroy, was very
serious, and the patient was almost
beyond hope when the doctor began the
molasses treatment. Conroy had been
under one operation, and DR.. HenZell
had not the slightest doubt that ii
was case of true. cancer. Regarding
the second case, DR.. Henzeli is not
positive that il was true cancer, as II Is
difficult for a medical man to state
definitely that a growth is true cancer
without an operation disclosing the
fact. DR.. Henzell. however, stated that
the patient Wilmington suffered from
a serious growth, which is being eradi-
Gated by the molasses treatment. Con-
siderable local interest Is naturally be-
ing exhibited in the matter, as the dis
covery of a cure for so terrible a dis
ease as cancer is one which weuld be
welcomed throughout the world. The
present cases confirm the results of
previous experiments. and the discov-
cry Is regarded as sufficiently interest
ing To be circulated throughout the
world -Queenslandcr 7th Feb, 1908.

vertiser the above. personally vouches
for DR.. Henzell. who Is a personal
friend. Mr. Jordan has received clip |
pings about other cures.

When we stood beside the tamarind

Tho weary months have come and
gone, in changing restless scene,
Oh, brightest dreams have passed

I roam around this prison yard; l

The breeZes softly sing to me a sad,

The crested waves are sobbing, as they

And my heart is full of sorrow, and my

And in the silence of the night, / think

HILO.KOHALA
RAILROAD DEAL

Negotiations are under way looking
to the taking over of the Kohala- Hilo
Railroad Company and all of it's rights
and franchises, by Wilson, Lyons &
Company, the contractors, who have
recently concluded a deal with Jacob
Coerper. for the Kona- Kau road. Meet
ings were held yesterday at the offices
of the Warehouse Trust Company be-
tween Messrs. Peck and Gehr, repre-
senting the railroad, and Messrs. Will
son and Dimond for the contracting
corporation, but as yet no basis for the
transfer of the road has been reached.
The contractors intend, If successful in
their endeavors, to undertake the finan-
cling of the road. The plan will be SINH
lar to that which 1t is proposed to
follow In the matter of the Kona-
Kau railroad, and it is proba BILE that the
same company which will be organized
to exploit the latter road will take up
both propositions.
The general plan is to organize a
construction company, which will take
over bonds of the line which are to
be issued in the payment for its build
ing, and to this company will be given
not only the mere laying of the line,
but as we'll its operation until II has
become property which is worth while
for the stockholders.
The basis of operations is said to
be the partitioning of the stock, so that
the contracting firm will have a share
of 1t and the appraisement of the work
already done by the promoters, so that
1t may be compensated in the payment
for the line by the new owners.
1t is expected that there will be some
conclusion reached within the week. by
those who are engaged in the negotia-
tons.

Kaohi thought that the law should take
in young girls Hawaiian and white,

well be licensed as they are mostly
