EIGHT Valuable Gems.

The eight largest diamonds in the
world are what are known as crown
Jewels, and their weight is given be-
low. Some of them are in an uncut
state and others are carefully cut and
finished, so that there is wide differ
ence in their value. The Kohinoor, the
smallest in weight, has been thus re-
duced by cutting and is much the most
valuable of the lot and has been esti-
mated at $2,000,000. None of these
mentioned is estimated at less than
100000. The list is as follows: The
Braganza, part of the Portugal jew
els. weighs 1880 carats; Kohinoor,
belonging to the English crown, 1903
carats; Star of Brazil, 125 carats; Re-
gent of France, 1876 carats; Austrian
Kaiser, 1879 carats; Russian Gar, 1913
carats; Rajah of Borneo, 367 carats.

The Cost of Livinu,

Chronicle has discovered Mr.. Wrights
average man" does not exist, but that
"the standard of living is better" than
it was a few years ago. Since the
beef trust, the coal trust, and the
hundreds of other trusts have adj
vanced prices to the top notch, the
average man and woman have dis
covered that it cost great deal more
to keep up the standard of living and
that present wages and trust prices
arc an obstacle that everyone feels.
All the sophistry of the Republican
statisticians cannot gloss over the
fact that the limited income cannot
be stretched to meet the demands
that are made upon it. High trust
prices fostered by the protective tariff
may give a glamor of prosperity to
the protected industries, but the many
have to pay to the prosperous few.

Quaint Old Wine Glass.

Congressman Frank G. Wachter Is
the proud possessor of a cut glass
from which On more than one occasion,
so tradition says, Gen. George Wash
ington refreshed himself in the days
when he used to stop on his way from
Mount Vernon to the north to the
home of the late Michael Warner. on
the old Washington road.
The glass is an old fashioned one Of
comfortable size and weight, and Is
very much unlike anything in use
nowadays. Well authenticated tradi-
ton has it that Gen. Washington was
frequently a guest at the home of
of Michael Warner, who was well
known man in this section of the ccun-
try, and was acquainted with many
prominent men of those days. 1t is
known that Gen. Washington stopped
on more than one occasion at the War
ner house, as he did at the old Car
roll mansion, now in Carroll Park, and
partook of meals. The glasses were al
ways used at these meals and were
retained as mementos of these visits.

Motionless in twilight. gloom.

For they know, when night is creep

Nurse has told so oft about him,
And she says she's seen him, too,
Stalking with his hood about him
Gross the fields in early dew.
Over hill and dale and river
Twenty leagues at every bound,
When the pine trees sigh and culver
Giant Shut-Eye comes around.
Woe to tads that toss their pillows
When they go to bed at night,
Or ruck up the quilts i'll pillows
Frolicking by candle light.
Better not have blankets tumbling

When, with big red boots astounding,

Hank! It's time he came a-creeping,
For the meadow moon is red,
And the brown bats wings are sweep

Now the whippoorwill is calling
With lonely, plaintive sound;
Tads be still-when night is falling

SCIENCE NOTES.

Variations in magnitude have been

flashes brighter than radium.
A new Swiss watch contains a tiny

be added by having the words record

Large chimneys are usually felled
by cutting away the base and setting
fire to the temporary wooden props
placed in the cavity. A new method
has been successfully tried at Open
shaw, England, three large chimneys
being thrown down by dynamite

holes drilled in the brick-work.
The amount of albumen necessarily
in mans food has been proven by
French psychologists to be much less
than has been supposed. From three to
five ounces daily was once thought to
be required, but later investigators
found that IL and even / IL ounces
would suffice. In the new experiments,
continued for 38 days, the real need
was shown to be less than an ounce
per day.
How far radium is responsible for
the heat of the earth is one OF the
philosophical questions now interest
ing scientists. Prof. Rutherford. be-
fore a recent meeting of the Royal
Institute of London. stated that he be-
lieved the amount of radium present
and uniformly distributed throughout
the earth would be sufficient to &C
count for all the heat lost from that
body.

Major o. W. Coursey returned from
Aberdeen, to which place he had
been called, to attend a conference
OF the military officers Of the state.
The initial steps were taken toward

the urgent solicitation Of Major
Coursey, General Conklin agreed to
relieve Captain Briggs OF this city,
from duty as a line officer. and as
sign him to duty on Major Coursey's

of needing with three representa-
uives of bond houses OF Minneapolis.

the 1925, 900 six per cent bonds would
be refunded on that date. 1t was
the idea Of the board to refund them

Messrs. W. A. burst, Secretary of
the Minnesota Loan s. Trust Co.,
which company carries a block OF
city bonds, Anthony A. Kane, and
U. M. Stoddard, Of Minneapolis,
were present ready to bid on the
premium for the bonds. Three prop
ositions were received from Chicago,
the n attracting the attention of
the board the most being that Of N.
w. Harris s. Co., which offered, by
telegram, a premium OF Blob, with
accrued interest, on the ten.twenty
year plan. Mr.. burst, for the Min
nesota Loan s. Trust Co., offered a
premium of 5000 for the bonds and
agreed to put up a certified check for
$500 to take them, if all legal mat
tiers hau been complied with. Messrs.
Stoddard and Kane stood on the
bid of their competitor and later re-
tired from the field, not caring to go
above that figure.
The bid of N. W. Harris g. Co., of
Chicago was accepted by the board
and the firm was at once informed of
the acceptance of its proposition.

HIS father was a prosperous hard

resulting in a very successful ven

to South Dakota, locating at Column
bia, where, they engaged in the
loaning business for a period Of
two years. AT the end Of that time
they came to Mitchell. and in con-
nection with a cousin, Mr.. l.. n.
Seaman, row Of Elgin, ILL.,, they
organized the Mitchell National
Bank. The greater share of that
time the bank has been under the
direct management of Mr.. Dawson.
The eminence that the institution
has attained in banking circles i'm
the northwest is a tribute to the
ability Of Mr.. Dawson as a tinan-
cier. Its deposits have grown to an
immense sum. and its credit has
never wavered in the slightest de-
gree. Mr.. Dawson was also a mem

l.. Dawson, who passed away early
Saturday morning. While the room
accommodated but few they were
crowded To ehe utmost capacity by
those who desired to show their last
mark Of respect to the man in life
whom they honored and admired for
the many noble virtues which
crowned his existence.
The services were conducted by
Rev. t. J. Giblett, pastor of the
Baptist church. Of which the de-
ceased IA an attendant and literal
supporter. His remarks, while brief,
touched upon the noble qualities of
the deceased and referred feelingly
to his life among US as being helpful
to all with whom he came in con-
tact. The music was furnished by a
quartet composed of Misses Goody-
kontz and Til)otson and Messrs.
Warne and Kratz, with Mrs. II. G..
Nichols at the piano, the selections
being particularly appropriate. The
casket which contained all that was
mortal of N. L. Dawson was sur
rounded with many handsome flowers
which were the loving tributes of
friends, business associates and So
cieties. They were silent but beau
tiful messengers breathing the low
ing respect and admiration that was
borne for this mar who has gone
from us.
When the casket was tenderly
brought down stairs it came in view
Of fully 300 people who were stand

And among that great number was
noticed men who were bowed down
by their weight of sorrow over. Mr..

assisted during the trying years in
the earlier days of this country, who
had come at this last time to see
their departed friend. The hand Of

yet the publicity Of the same was
not sought by him. Those people
and others standing in the crowd
felt the loss of a friend, and their
eyes were dimmed with tears.
