WILLIAM. THE
INCORRIGIBLE

copyright, 1904, by X. NJ. Whitehead
William had said he would come at
half past 2 sharp. The races at the
Country club course began at 3, and
it would take good half hour to make
the drive.
Beatrice Hanscom, fidgeting impa-
tiently on the broad veranda, glanced
at the clock on the tower Of st. Marks.
1t was half past 3. An hour late al
ready! 1t was so like William!
She would wait no longer. She would
60 over to the links and take it out Of
one of the caddies. Some one must
feel as out of sorts as did she. She
rose angrily, and as she did so there
was great clatter Of hoofs on the
winding driveway. A pair of cobs,
pulling a smart trap, were drawn up
before the stoop, and William, very
shamefaced and apologize, sprang
from the seat.
'Oh, l say" he began.
''Well, what have you to say?" said
Beatrice, turning on him wrathfully.
William coughed in embarrassment

"Out where?" she said coldly.
"Why, out to the track, of course"

Beatrice shrugged her shoulders.
''If it won't take too long," she said.
william hitched the cobs and came
up the veranda steps.
Look here" he said contritely, "I'm
horribly sorry about this, but-but"-
But you forgot, as usual" said
Beatrice.

A Small Boys Invention.

Sir Hiram Maxim began to invent al
most as soon as he could lisp. When
but small! boy he invented sort of
sextant made Of wood, with sights, a
piece of thread with a bullet at the
end, and an indicator for the thread
to swing along. On a dark night he
took his instrument outside, and while
he sighted it to the north star his lit

Fish Not a Brain Food.

The idea that fish nourishes the
brain is a popular fallacy. says the
London Lancet. 1t is doubtful wheth-
er any given food in common use con-
tains constituents which have a select
i've action, or the property of minister
ing to any one part of the body more
than another. 1t is often said that
fish is food which ministers particu-
larly to the needs of the brain because
it contains phosphorus AS matter
of fact, fish does not contain it in the
free state. The notion that fish con-
tains phosphorus had, no doubt, its ori-
gin in the glowing or phosphorescence
in the lark. This phosphorescence is
due not to phosphorus at all, but to
micro-organisms.

Paper Car Wheels.

In making paper car wheels 120 to
$50 layers are put together with flour
paste and subjected to pressure of
500 tons while at a temperature of 120
degrees Fahrenheit. The blocks are
then turned in lathe, slightly larger
than the tire, and the hole is bored for
the castiron center. In turning, the
paper blocks make shaving that re-
semble strips of leather The average
life of the tire of paper wheel is
about 100000 miles. That represents
about one and one-quarter inch wear.
The centers do not seem to be affect
ed by service. and they are always
good for renewal OF tires unless some
accident happens to them

LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TONOPAH
ROOSEVELT NOMINATED.

The Republican national convention
in session at Chicago, oil June 22d,
nominated Theodore Roosevelt as
candidate for president and Senator
Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana as
candidate for vice president; both
nominations were made by unanimous
vote. The election was preceded by
several fine speeches, of which that
of Elihu Root was a most powerful
review Of the Republican adminlstra-
ton under which the country has
reached a state Of extraordinary
prosperity unparalleled in the history
of the world. 1t seemed almost
superfluous to review the record of
our President, and Mr.. Fairbanks is
so well known and generally appre-
ciated, not only in the middle west
but on the Pacific coast, that it was
hardly necessary to refer to his ster-
mug qudlllleS.
If we mistake not this is only the
second time that a President has
been nominated in convention by ac-
clamation, the first occasion being
that of George Washington, and now
as on that occasion the nomination
is tantamount to election. 1t may
be almost said that this is inevitable
as the American people are wise
enough to see that the continuance
of their past great prosperity can
only be maintained and increased
under the wise and careful admins
tration Of the Republican party.

Fully twenty teams have left To
nopah this week for a new discovery,
the secret of which had been well
kept and only leaked out through the
prospectors returning to Tonopah for
supplies. The discovery was made
about seven weeks ago by Jack Clark
and w. Fl. Redfeld who were grub
staked by H. D. Fulton, until re-
Gently foreman at the Halifax mine.
These men have located ten claims
known as the Minnie Healy group,
about nine miles north of west Of
Stone Cabin, thirty.six miles east of
Tonopah. The locations are made on
the course of IN eight foot ledge Of
rose quartz occurring in a contact of
lime and porphyry and having a gen
eral north and south trend with cross
stringers. The surface assays showed
values of So 80 gold per ton, and a
shaft has been sunk to a depth of
nineteen feet, the assays as depth
was reached going SO SO, $17 26 and
SAC, the last assay from the bottom
being SAG gold and 50 so silver.
Several other shallow holes have been
sunk over a length of $500 feet on
the vein and yielded assays from S12
to $50 per ton.
In a quiet way more than twenty
locations have been made on cross
leads which assay as high as SO on
the surface, among the locators be-
ing w. D. Walsh, the ubiquitous Billy
Sinclair and others. The country is
slightly billy with very little wash,
the solid formation outcropping on
the surface and is well furnished with
wood and water. Stone Cabin being
a ranch where alfalfa and garden
truck are grown, and its future as a
good milling camp is very promising.

The discovery Of so.called placer
gold" close to the Jumbo ledge is
most gratifying, but only indicates
that at one time the outcrop of the
vein was as rich as it is at depth, but
erosion through countless centuries
carried the gold into the gravel be-
low the outcrop of the vein. The
circumstance is not at all uncommon
but has no bearing upon the perman-
ence OF the vein at depth.
