near an Apache reservation. Five Of
us were camping on dry creek bed
when we heard a whoop across the
plain, and about 80 painted and feath-
cred Indians came gaIioplng down on
u.s.
1--WE thought it was all up with us,
and made a scramble for the big boul-
ders. But on the bank the Indians
came to an abrupt halt, and rolled in
their saddles with laughter
"'What matter?' their chief shouted
to us. Heap scare?'
Then they came down and fratern-
lied with us. Some of them had
scalDs at their belts that were still
wet with blood Then they told us
they had just had a glorious day.
"They were returning from raid on
neighboring Comanche camp. and
had taken seven scalps, only losing
three of their own party. They felt
SO good they built a fire and made us
eat supper with them, but they couldn't
get over laughing at the scare they had
given us.

best to fight cowboys. He admires
them, because they seem to enter into
the spirit of it. They have supreme
contempt for soldiers, because the mill

try they don't find trace of the joy

their farms to chuckle over the joke"

It was a blamy spring afternoon.
The foliage on the trees never looked
more beautiful, and truly the Wis

ness of the Sabbath pervaded the en-
tire atmosphere. All the environments
were conducive to quiet and rest. to
beauty and serenity.

London in Moscow.

The continued activity with which
the searching of refuse heaps in quest
of treasure is being prosecuted
makes it interesting to remember that
the sifters and sorts of London
were once wealthy and organized. A
case is on record of one woman who
in eight years was able to build house
property out of the profits of her grub
bling and cleaning. 1t seems scarce
ly credible that Moscow is built upon
London rubbish. Such, however, is
the case. An enormous heap Of refuse
at the Battle bridge end of what is
now Caledonian road. which was 'the
grand center of dustmen, scavengers,
horse and dog dealers, knackermen,
brick makers. and other low but ne
cessary professionalism" had lain in
that position since the great fire. AT
ter the destruction of Moscow upon
the visit of Napoleon, the Russians,
by some means, came to hear of this
dust heap. They bought it, bricks,
bones. rubbish and all, shipped it off
to Moscow, and upon it founded the re-
surrected city which travellers know
today.-St. James Gazette.

Wonderful Alarm Clock.
Telegraph

Surely laziness and not necessity Is
the mother of many present day in
ventions. A Pennsylvania inventor
has devised scheme for making his
alarm clock light the kitchen fire,
thus allowing MIN time for an extra
nap in the morning. The fire lighter
comprises a friction plate on which
a block is mounted. The block is Sc
cured to bracket, which Is fastened
to the stove. A slot is cut in the side
OF the block to receive a spring arm
extending from a coiled spring So
cured in the block. This arm, at its
outer end, is provided with holder
for match. The alarm clock q
mounted on the block with the legs
secured in socket pieces. A cord
from the alarm key of the clock
stretches to a pin, which acts as
stop for the spring arm. When at tho
set time the alarm is sounded, the
alarm key, as usual, rotates, winding
I'D the cord and withdrawing the pin
from engagement with the spring
arm. The latter then, under action
of the spring, lights the match by
sweeping it over the friction plate. At
the end of its course the match comes
into contact with and ignltes a fuse
leading to the kindlings, thus lighting

OPERATIONS
ARE SLACK
At the Various Coal Mines in This Sec
tiOn Owing to the Tying Up of the
Lake Trade BY Pilots and Others.

Coal mining operations are some
whatslacK in this and the Fairmont
region, some of the mines running only
part of the week. This Is on account
Of the lack of transportation facilities
and the tying up of the lake trade by
pilots and other employees along and
on the lakes, who are making demands
for more wages. The eastern trace.
however. is being held by the Clarksbdrg
Fuel Company and the Fairmont Coal
Company. The slack in operations, it is
believed, will not last long, as it is
expected that the lake conditions will
be satisfactorily adjusted in a few
weeks at most.
