Embarras de RichesSeS.


Ventimore had SO thoroughly con-
WINGED himself that the released jim
nee was purely a creation of his own
Imagination that he rubbed his eyes
with a start, hoping that they had
deceived him.
Stroke thy head o merciful and
merltorious one" said his visitor.

Horace, as cordially as he could. as

NAY, for hast thou not done me

bottle Is pleasant. And to thee owe
my deliverance."
1t was all true then; he had really
let an imprisoned Genius, or Jinnee,
or whatever it was, out Of that bottle!
"Oh that's all right, my dear sir"
he said; don't think any more about
it. II rather understood you to
say that you were starting on a jour-
ney in search of Solomon"
IT have been, and returned. For I
visited certain cities in his dominions,
hoping that by chance I might hear
news Of him. but 1 refrained from
asking directly lest thereby I should
attract suspicion, and so Suleyman
should learn of my escape before I
could obtain an audience of him and
implore justice"
ooh. I shouldn't think that was
likely" said Horace. "If were you.

travelling till I find Suleyman."

nee. 'Divinely gifted, truly. was he
who composed such a verse"
"He has a great reputation as q
sage" said Horace, land the maxim
is considered one of his happiest eff

east is rather thickly populated, the
less time you lose in following the
poets recommendation the better?

man is tolerably well off in these days

Fakrash smiled with indulgent
compassion. How excellent is the
saying of one Of old: He who adj

Horace next asked himself wheth-

the facts to Mr.. Wackerbath and give
him the opportunity of withdrawing
from the agreement If he thought fit.
On the whole. he saw no necessity
for telling him anything: the only
possible result would be to make his
client suspect his sanity.
Fakrash was gone. never to return.
So. on all these considerations, Hor-
ace decided that silence was his only
possible policy.

Locks Bigger
Than Ever

COLVILLE. Wash. Jan. 27.-c. II.
James of Spokane and Il. L. Danforth
of Minneapolis are here to start the
Old Dominion mine. For the past
three months the mine has been
closed. Last fall the Old Dominion
Mines company struck ore which went
as high as $4,000. A large amount
of machinery Is now on the ground
and the mine can be run. provided
funds can be raised. At one time this
mine was one of the richest in the
northwest and was worked at great
profit by Kearney- brothers. Then
the ore played out and tho people
who owned the property were unable
to locate the lead. the mine was
closed down and remained practically
abandoned for number of years.

SENATE COMMITTEES AGREES TO
REPORT CANAL TREATY IN
IT'S ORIGINAL FORM.
ASSURANCES COME FROM PANAMA
NEW REPUBLIC TO ALLOW HAR.
BoR IMPROVEMENTS AND
OTHER REGULATIONS.

Washington, Jan. 28-The senate
committee on foreign relations during
the day took action on the Panama
canal treaty, which, in effect, reseinds
its former adoption Of amendments
Senator Cullon, chairman Of the
committee, was authorized to report
a disagreement on the amendments
already reported, which action is
equivalent to reporting the treaty in
it's original form. This course of the
committee is in accordance with do.
cision reached by the Republican sen.
ators more than a week ago not to
permit any amendment of the conven.
ton. Assurances having been given
to the state department and communi-
Gated to the senate that the Panama
republic will permit the harbor i'm.
provcments and sanitary regulations
desired by the United States govern
ment the need for the amendments
to the treaty has been removed and
the alterations recommended by the
committee are held to 81 superfuous.
1t is believed by the administration
that the interests OF this government
are fully protected now and that 1t is
not advisable to change the conven.
ton and send 1t to Panama for ratifi.
cation of the amendments. Several
Republican members Of the commit.
tee referred to the suspicious nature
of the LaIin-American and the posi-.
bility of tying UP the treaty if it is
placed before the. Panama constitu
tional convention. The experience ol
this government in It's attempt to get
Colombia to ratify the Hay-Herran
treaty was cited as reason for not in.
curing similar danger Of the treaty
with Panama. 1t is believed the canal
treaty will be ratified by the senate
without amendment.
