When a Iull came in the conversation
I arose and sauntered beyond earshot
of the camp. Juan, the Mexican,
seemed to have been waiting for
break in the circle and started in the
opposite direction. CHANGING over my
shoulder. l saw Metcalf standing alone,
throwing an arIaful of brush on the
fretful fire. Macpherson and Williams,
being old cronies and bit exclusive in
their tipple when towns We're far apart,
had gone off, I thought, to finish the
Randsburg bottle.
I was dimly conscious Of something
strange about the whole proceeding.
On the desert men never wander away
from camp, especially when stranger
IS left on guard. This Metcalf-here any
thing that was dim and uncertain IN

~ defined image-this Metcalf had been
picked up at the Needles, and, in the
prospectors' way. we asked 10 ques-
tons. None OF US knew him. Suppose,
l thought, he should put his heel on
that dancing bit OF fame? Suppose he
should pack everything of value on the
ponies and make bee line for civiliza-

I hesitated between two impulses.
The camp needed me. but since early
morning 1 had waited impatiently. for

John BROWN AS LOUIS XVI.
Amusing ErrOrS in "a French EncyclO-

The new Illustrated Larousse, the

upon men and things, contains some
curious errors about American affairs,
says the New York Journal.
In the article on Lincoln, for in

"sectarian," one j. Wilkes.
John Brown is represented pictor-

bridge is an accomplished fact.

PHILADELPHIA'S FLY-KILLER
Thousands Into n Room and
Exterminates Them with
Persian Powder.

Philadelphia has employed a man to
kill flies. He is an expert in the
slaughter of these pests and has no
computations concerning their exter-
mination. In common with the head
of the Philadelphia health department,
he believes that flies have no value
as scavengers, but that, like rats and
mosquitoes, they are active enemies of
the human race, spreading a variety
of dirt diseases and making epidemics
possible, says the New York Evening
World.
He regards the hole-in-a-piece-of-
bread-over-a-goblet -of-molasses trap
as a weak and ineffective device; fly
papers are to his mind expensive and
valueless, dishes of fly poison worse
than useless, screens merely a defen-
sive appliance. His method is to make
a chamber attractive to flies, gather
thousands there, burn a handful of
Persian powder in the chamber and eX-
terminate his guests.
The undertaking seems a task for
Hercules, but its profit promises to be
great.

ITALIAN WAY OF WORKING.
Leads an American Woman to Give
Genoa the Preference as
a

An American woman married the
captain of a steamship trading to
Mediterranean ports and was straight
way lost to her American friends, for
she went to live at Genoa, n of the
ports visited by her husbands ship,
reports the New York Sun.
She recently paid a visit to friends
in this country and many asked her
why she did not make her home in
New York. In each case she gave as
her reason her desire to see as much
rs possible of her husband.
Then the inquiries were pressed fur
Their. If the steamer sailed from both
ports at regular intervals, why was
not one as good for her purposes as
the other. The explanation was SIM
pie enough to anyone who knows the
difference between methods at New
York and Genoa.
The ship consumes five days in I'M
loading and reloading at New York,
and the captain could have only those
Eve days with his family, and a good
deal of each day would be taken up at
the wharf, perhaps several miles from
his home.
At Genoa the processes of loading
and unloading, by reason of old-fash-
Toned methods and slower workmen,
occupy nearly two weeks, and the dis
lance from the ships wharf to the cap
tain's home is not great. So Amer
lean business methods work to ex-
patriate one American woman.

WEALTH THROWN AWAY.
Much of Value Is Cast Into the Waste
Baskets of "a Large City
Every Day.

"In the waste baskets in st. Louis"
ports the Republic, there is wealth
enough to make any n man %independ-
emily rich for life" Come again. said
the doubling friend, Rich for life"
went on the other. you don't see
how? Of course, you don't. l do.
did you ever consider the thousands
and thousands of waste baskets that
are emptied by the j%anitors in offices
every night? Well, suppose you could
get all that paper. Your income every
day would be up in the hundreds of dol
lars. That is, if you simply sold the
paper to pulp mills.
But suppose you could add to that
tidy income by possessing yourself OF
the stamps that are dropped into the
waste baskets by mistake. There would
be another fine item in your income.
Suppose, then, if your conventional
mind will permit you to stray so far
afield, that a man could buy all the
business secrets that he could find lying
in waste baskets. He would have, | as
sure you, such a lever that he could pry
solid gold into his bank account.
why man, there is more money 60
ing to waste in the waste baskets in
this town every day than many men
make in a long life of hard work. l
wish I could buy the privilege of TAX
ing all the stuff. That's ALL"
