at that time I bought about $2000 worth of gold from the natives for much less than it was worth anywhere else. It Is true that the natives are dangerous, but we will go heeled for them. The five of us together will be able to withstand any attacks that may be made.
 The island is unusually rich in min- erals. though statements have been made to the contrary. There is some where on the island q rich gold ledge, that will make the finder several times a millionaire. I intend to find it.
 Eleven years ago I went among the natives with nothing more than an In- dian guide. The natives were sullen and quarrelscme, but I got out with out losing any hide.
 Just what our plans will be we will not decide until after a conference at Guaymas or Hermosillo. If the gold ledge is found, it is probable that we will return to the United States and form a company to secure control Of it and take out the precious msta'.

WHY NOT ADD A cURIT OR TWO?

You can add a cubit to your intel lectual stature without a bit of trouble, according to the advocate of New Thought" if you only go about it right The June number of the New Psych- ology, a magazine devoted to the ex- position and support of the New Thought, has an article by pr. Parkyn, one of the chief new thinkers, on auto suggestion as a means to success. You should always suggest to yourself such thoughts as these: "I am becoming q strong man in every sense of the word
 II am filled to overflowing with con- fidence and aggressiveness" "I am d strong man. Il am d fearless man. T am an ambitious man." and so on. Keep thinking thus and suggesting strong and confident thoughts to your self. and the result will be, according to pr. Parkyn, that when I approach a person on business proposition. succeed because I know am right. and my strength. determination, aggressive ness and earnestness win the day for me-" We are not discussing the New Thought, but are wondering what in the world will happen to this or any other community if all the book agents. lie insurance solicitors, lightning rod men and "drummers" in general be- come possessed with the New Thought. and start out on their dominating, az gressive, invincible careers: the world will be overstocked with goods. or the people who have not developed their ego and their mentality, but remain rather shrinking and soft, will in- dupnaoiy be forced to take to the woods.-PhiladeIphi Ledger.

FIRST CLASS IN FLIRTING.
An Addition to be Made to Great Western Schools List of Electives?

Chicago may not be lovely, but it is nightly interesting. It keeps on doing and saying things that compel the worlds attention, because the world gets a jolt at every one of these dis closures, and jolts are wakening. There are thousands in the world who need to be ioited all the time, to keep them from l2psing into idle and back ward years. It is the University of Chicago from which the hardest and most unexpected of these stiEiuli are re- Ceived. The Ltterances that lave come from that center of industry and in- tellect concerning Shakespeare and Rockefeller, ethics and kerosene, music and manures, religion and gratis. mar tyrology and boraX-to instance but a, few Of the subjects that have been so astonishingly brought into opposition have thrilled through ever widening circles till they reached the confines of civilization and are received with grave astonishment in St. Petersburg.
 Hardly has calm been restored since the terrifying outbreak of the professor who called the young women in his class light minded. ere another teacher begins to make remarks: J. is Dean Tufts, and he says, Says he: ''Coquet- ry 6 a training of the abilities needed in serious life. It 's instinctive and not merely the outlet of surplus ener- gics" Whict, is true. But is a coed college the place where geologlsts would approve of saying it? For with the sane ton of the faculty upon flirting, is it to be suppo"ed that any student or studentess will bother much with cal culus and Greek? Those trifles are not eiucative of the abilities needed In the serious life. Nobody uses them after he has escaped from college. Every on@, on the contrary, practices his arts up- on the opposite sex. and he ought to learr them while this disposition is instinctivc. rather than induced, for the spectacle of an elderly bachelor train ing himself by dreary scholastic pro- cesses to master the arts or love is pathetic.
 Flirting. therefore, must b. recoS- nized as one of the electives in the Chi cago university because il is the pur- pose of our higher institutions of learn ing to train young men and young women for a serious life. If a few of them go into vaudeville. and a few others decide to remain in Chicago, the life is all the more serious and the need of a course in coquetry becomes the more imperative. No member of the faculty of Chicago university is looked up to by his pupils with more implicit confidence than is Dean Tufts, and tEe cause of co-education has received a push that will be felt to the confines of the nation.-Brooklyn Eagle.

ERRORS OF COMPOSITION.

At literary dinner in New York C. ID. Gibson, the Illustrator. quoted a number of amusing misprints. MT. Gibson said he had been gathering mis- prints for several years, and already had in his collection 200 good speci- , mems.
 He first quoted a misprint about a bishop who was confined to the house with a violent cold. The newspapers that mentioned the prelate's illness said he was confined to the house with a violent scold'
 Another quotation concerned Brit ish nobleman who had joined party of friends in Hamshire for the pur- rose of shooting pheasants. This the compositor had made to read, He has joined a party of friends in Hampshire for the purpose of shooting peasants"

A TIBURON EXPEDITION
This One Is Headed by Professor
 Thomas F. Grindell.

There is to be another conquest of Tiburon island, which has been the graveyard of so many hopes and bones
 of adventurers, including those of the | late Lieutenant R. E. L. Robinson. | formerly of Phoenix. The next con ouistador was Arizona Charley, who
 was going to do what the, Spanish and
 Mexican governments for centuries failed to do. He, too. left the Ceres In- dians. the inhabitants of the island, free
 and unfettered.
 Now Thomas F. Grindell is fitting out an expedition against Tiburon. It is | described by the Bisbee Review: Thomas Grindell, principal of the Douglas schools. leaves Bisbee this ev- ening for Guaymas, where he will out fit for a trip to Tiburon island. At Guaymas Grindell will be joined by four others and together they will
 charter a small boat, which will take
 them to some point on the coast of the island, where a landing can be made. The purpose of the expedition Is to
 explore the island and to search for the mother lode in a great gold producing
 district. Grindell is of the opinion that this can be found, and the luck finders made immensely wealthy.
 Grindell's plans are much the same as those of Arizona Charley" Meadows who made an attempt about a year ago to outfit a big expedition to the island. After much hot air it fell through. The five men in this expedition VIII

The following incident occurred at the Brockport State Normal school. of which the late pr. Malcolm MacVicar was at one time principal. Rivalry between the junior and senior classes had been unusually active one year. At commencement the senior class chose this motto and placed it in letters of evergreen over the stage: Not to live. but to live we'll" On commencement morning the principal and other dig nitaries on the platform noticed a strange levity on the part of the audi ence.

The Element of Gunnerv.

So far in the war between Russia
and Japan there is not much to show
that the Russians are great marksmen
with big guns, but before the war be-
gan there seems to have been. an i'm
preston among naval experts that the
Russians were about as good gunners
as could be found. Writing in the Ma
White says: Until the naval officers
from admiral to sublieutenant learn
that the country is sternly intent upon
improving the standard Of the shoot
ing Of the British fleet until it reaches
the standard of the Russian fleet, and
even exceeds it, the electors will not
be satisfied with the admiralty"
In this same article Mr.. White
makes some statements which indicate
that in the event Of Britain being
drawn into the war; there might be
some startling surprises in store for
the British people. The battleship
Centurion, which was sent out to Chi
ma in November, was discovered to
have the sights Of her great guns
wrong. What this defect might mean
in war may be gathered from the fact
that the British battleship Formidable,
which in practice missed the target
twenty-six times out of twenty-seven,
was afterwards discovered to have de-
fective sights. An officer of the Cen
turion wrote from Malta:
En- route here (Malta) our 1O-inch guns
have been carefully examined by Captain
- and the gunnery lieutenant, and it
is found that the sights and elevating gear
are hopeiessly wrong, which means that
if we go into action our main armament is
practically of no use. The records show
that Capital Scott Of the Excellent pro-
nounced the ship as unfit to leave Ports
mouth. We shall now be blamed for bad
shooting, and perhaps held up to ridi-
cule as the Formidable was. Surely some
one ought to hang for sending ship to

a trifie thick, and he had hard work to
learn anything. One day, when it came
this boys turn to read, we were in the
third chapter of Daniel, and his verse was
the one in which ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in his
