That intrusive coffin plate, however
slipped out Of the legal paper. and had to
be seen.

THE "BoNE-cABIN QUARRY"
Greatest Find of Extinct Animals
Ever Made in Single
Locality.

In central Wyoming, at the head Of
draw" or small valley, not far from
the Medicine Bow river, lies the ruin
of . small and unique building, which
marks the site Of the greatest "fni" Of
extinct animals made in single local
ity in any part of the world. The for
tunate fossil hunter who stumbled on
this site, says Henry Fairfield Osborn,
in Fossil Wonders of the West" in
Century, was Mr.. Walter Granger, Of
the American museum expedition Of
1897.
In the spring Of 1898. as l ap-
preached the hillock on which the ruin
stands, l observed, among the beautl-
full flowers, the blooming cacti and the
dwarf bushes of the desert, what were
apparently numbers Of dark-b brown
boulders. On closer examination, Il
proved that there is really not single
rock. hardly even pebble, on this hill
lock; all these apparent boulders are
ponderous fossils which have slowly
accumulated or washed out on the sur
face from a. great dinosaur bed be-
meath. A Mexican sheep herder had
collected some Of these petrifled bones
for the foundations Of his cabin, the
nrst ever built Of such stranss mate
rails. The excavation Of promising
outcrop was almost Immediately re-
warded BY finding . thigh bone nearly
six feet in length which sloped down
ward into the earth, running into the
lower leg and finally into the foot, with
all the respective parts lying in the
natural positions a. In life. This
proved to be the previously unknown
hind limb Of the great dinosaur Diplo-
docus. In this manner the Bone
Cabin Quarry" was discovered and
christsned.

New Naval Base,

An expedition under charge OF the
navy department has been busy all this
summer at Kyska island. one Of the most
remote Of the Aleutians, making the
preliminary surveys and other arrange
ments for the establishment of a naval
coaling station at Kyska harbor. This
harbor is excellent. and it is said that It
can be easily fortified. II is proposed
to make It base for the operations Of
the Pacific feet. Kyska. which Is in
longitude 1T east, is much nearer Japan
and Siberia than It is to our mainland
south Of Alaska. No foreign military
officers have been allowed to visit the
place, and Americans know little Of the
detailed plans Of the government The
island will contain one Of the wireless
telegraph stations Of the navy depart
ment. to which reference was made in
this column on July 2S.-Youth's Com
panion.

Long Drive for Team.

r. Seymour Smith, Of Franklin, KY,
is probably the only man In the world
who can boast Of having driven the
same team Of horses $4,000 miles. Mr..
Smith was In business for seven years,
and was required to drive over the en-
tire United States. He figures that
every day he worked &c drove the team
20 miles, making total In seven years
Of $4,000 miles. He started at Boston
and drove through New England, the
middle and southern states and the
west When he completed his seven
years trip he got 1888 for the team.
which he says was better than the day
he started.-Louisville Courier-Jour-

MEN OF THE GRAND ARMY
Their Annual Eneampments and Les

Once every year the soldiers of the
civil war who still survive are accus-
toned to gather somewhere for their
national encampment Three days are
given to reunions and business meet.
ings and a parade. This practice. says
Youths Companion, has continued 30
long that 1t has become an old story
In all the northern half Of the coun-
try; for the grand army has eneamped
both in Maine and In California.
II Is an old story In one sense. but
q perennially new one In other senses.
This year. for the third time, the
grand army held Its encampment In
Boston. The city was decorated, Of
course. and unusually crowded. There
were blue uniforms and black soft
hats everywhere. The same white
haired men marched In the parade. .
little sitter in the knees and somewhat
fewer In number. and they were
cheered from end to end Of the routs.
But there was nothing new about any
OF these tnings.
Yet the encampment as Q whole did
produce-it always produces-some-
thing new and fresh; q rebirth Of pa
triotism. . acknowledgment Of the
debt due to these men, q new percep-
ton Of what the war cost them.
No one can watch the parade of the
veterans without seeing that the vast
majority Of those In line are men In
moderate circumstances. They con-
slider themselves fortunate indeed that
they are able to be present at all.
Thousands Of their old comrades, they
will tell you, could not come because
Of the expense.
Here is the new lesson which the en-
campment teaches, or the old lesson
which It constantly repeats-the life.
long sacrifice Of the men who fought
and lived, as well as the short but coin.
plete sacrifice Of those who died.
The war ruined the chances Of finap.
cial success for tens Of thousands Of
soldiers. who. II they had been more
selfish and less patriotic, would be
richer to-day in the goods of this
world; but how infinitely poorer both
they and we should be In things which
wealth cannot measure or money buy!

RETIRED BUSINESS MEN.
Many Find Themselves at Loss for
Something to Do and Take
to Reading.

Successful American business ana
professional men usually die In the
harness. Most of them do not, mere
ly from motives of avarice, continue
to pile up moneys after they have
made fortunes. The ingrained habits
formed by lifetime's work in one
field are exceedingly hardin many
cases impos3ible-to break, says the
Chicago Tribune. Most men also find
1t difficult to imagine what they should
do with themselves after they retired.
They fear they would be q burden to
themselves and a bore to everybody
else.
There are, however, many things
which business or professional men
who retire while still vigorous can do
to make the latter end OF their lives
pleasant and to render themselves use
full to themselves and to their com.
munities. They can read. The av.
erage man, during his busy years,
hardly takes glimpse into the better
books. II he should reserve some Of
his later years to get acquainted with
the great kingdom Of the intellect he
might add much to the pleasure of his
life. The retired business or profess
sional man can travel. Like Diocle.
tian, after Ne quit the throne of the
Roman empire, he can grow cabbages.
He can contribute needed wisdom to
philanthropic and charitable enter
prises.
But the man who counts on retiring
when he has secured substantial
competency and leading thereafter q
life agreeable to others should make
preparation for the change. He must
keep at least on speaking acquain-.
lance throughout youth and middle
life with the great world outside his
avocation. The money grubber who
has not lifted his nose from his ledger
for 40 years will get little pleasure at
go from Hawthorne, or Macaulay, or
Tennyson, or Shakespeare, or Herbert
Spencer or Plato. He will get equally
little satisfaction from travel for, as
George William Curtis has said, those
who would see Greece and Italy must
take them in their hearts.

commands has the good of the other
in view. While obedience should be
yielded by the pupil as a matter of
course, he is helped by feeling sure
the teacher intends his welfare.
"The thoughtful teacher sees that
the will must be trained. Morality
in the child is quite another form
from morality in the adult; the form
er knows nothing Of absolute truth,
justice or virtues. His notion of
right is what is habitual. Right acts
repeated over and over, even me-

which we fall back in any emergency;

little girls, born up there, never in
their lives saw an apple growing on

Miscellaneous Sunny Suggestions from

Dear Sunshiners Here am I
again in St. Louis and the great Fair
is nearing it's close. 1t is a very
great pity that it could not be CON
tinued another year, and that rail
road rates might be within reach of
all, for it should be within the power
of every intelligent person to profit
by the educational advantages nre-
sented here. However, I must tell
you that l came very near not profit
ing by this trip, for we we're wise
and foolish enough to take a flying
trip to the ocean and just a little
ways on it before starting for ST.
Louis. We were wise, for a glimpse
of grand old ocean is an u1lfailing
tonic for the nerves, but sometimes
he has his own fun with tired bodies
when they are bold enough to mount
his capacious bosom. He did with us.
Therein we were foolish, for it deiny-

those who are living in the coun-
try, as most of us are, can make
such nice Christmas gifts out of the
things found at our doors. Those
who live where there are nuts, can
make little bags of scraps of cloth,
left-overs, and fill them with nuts.
which will make a nice little gift for
a child who lives somewhere where
nuts do not grow. Of course Won
wouldn't think of handing them to
your next-door neighbor who has
more nuts than you have, but a little
