JOYOUS DREAM SHATTERED

Mishawaka, Ind.-The dream of we'd
ded bliss of David Hogenboom, aged
67 years, of this place, who took as
his bride Miss Clara Van Voight, aged
35. OF Kalamazoo, has been shattered
after but two weeks of the honeymoon
had passed.
Because her husband would not con-
cede to her certain property and
money Mrs. Hogenboom has returned
to her home In Kalamazoo. When she
married Hogenboom. she says, a pre-
nuptial agreement was entered into
whereby HogenbOom assigned to the
young bride much of his property. Aft
er the marriage had been performed
she discovered that she could control
none of the property until after the
old mans demise and she consequently
said that unless he would consent to
rearrange matters she would leave
him. He had new papers drawn up and
gave her $500, but she left for her
home with the remark, 1t is alleged:

POOR; STRIKES GOLD IN PIT
Assay Proves Ore to Be Worth 500
Ton-Was Once a Gravel
Deposit.

Los Angeles, Cal.-From the owner
of gravel pit on a small piece Of land
yielding scant income to suddenly
become the possessor of a paying gold
mine is the transformation In the for
tunes of NJ. NJ. Eshelman, of Tropico.
Near the intersection of Glendale
avenue and Cypress street is the Esh-
Gilman house, situated on about two
and one-half acres of land. A wash
passes through the rear end and just
beyond the wash the land runs into a
low hill of decomposed red granite.
The face of this hill has been blasted
and pit has been scooped out; across
the property teams have hauled hun
dreds of loads of gravel. There was
more pay in the gravel business than
the returns from the soil
Suddenly the teams ceased coming to
the little lot, and the word went out
that the gravel pit was exhausted. The
neighbors did not believe tnls, but ac-
cepted the story and awaited develop
ments.
Soon the truth leaked out, and the
report of the final blast that opened
yellow pocket Of pure gold was
spread with wide-eyed wonder.
The new mine owner was suspicious
and beyond acknowledging that he had
made a strike he would say nothing.

Earthquakes in China,

Very curious were some OF the ex-

The Hongkong Daily Press tells about
them: "The famous dragon whose
privilege It has been to give an occa-
sional shock to the earth's crust is not
held responsible for the recent scare
in Macao and elsewhere. Some Chi
nese attribute the last shocks TO the
water-dragon OF Canton. whose anger

works. Coolies are dumping daily
boatloads of sand and stone on the
poor dragons back, and the beast nat.

WOMEN IN HARVEST FIELDS
They Save Farmers of South Dakota
from Heavy Loss and Can
Hold Office.

Scotland. S. DIT is not generally
known that women played an important
part in the gathering of the vast crops Of
the prosperous South Dakota farmer,
but 1t is a fact that large part of the
manual labor on the Bonhomme coun-
ty farms was performed by women and
girls.
When the farmer saw the vast fields
of wheat and oats and other grains wav-
ing yellow and loaded with rich yielding
heads. he was perplexed to find sufii-
cient help to garner In the grain. Men
were scarce and many times could not be
had at the best of wages. The alterna-
tive was to call on the women. They
responded nobly and to see women and
girls driving six horses hitched to a
binder or header in this part of the state
was no unusual sight Those who could
not be used as drivers worked as ordi-
nary men in the fields or at other menial
labor.
Among the Russians in this country,
women did most of the work this year.
They all went at their tasks with light

saw his fields reaped and the grain
gathered in stacks or thrashed. There
were no fancy dresses worn in the fields,
nor we're there any fancy dishes on the
tables of these thrifty people There
were no trees to shade the weary ones
on the edges of the fields. nor did the
fair ones carry umbrellas They did not
even think of these things, for 1t was
the gathering Of the crops that they were
intent on.
Women and girls, when they worked
away from home this summer. were paid
as high as $3.50 day, with their board.
Farmers say that in many cases they
are preferable to men, as they can be
trusted.
Women in this state are also playing
very important part in the handling
of political affairs. There Is no law that
says a woman cannot hold office. In fact,
several are now holding the Office OF
county superintendent of schools.
Other Offices have been filled with great
honor by bright. pretty women. At the
same time, the women of South Dakota
make the very best wives to be found in
the land.

When in action, unless at exceedingly

The numerous advantages of this

1t affords to the enemy. The gun can
be instantaneously adapted for either
deliberate or automatic firing. The
maximum speed of firing is about 10
rounds second, and the changing of
the clips, each of which holds 20
rounds, occupies only about the same

New York.-The total gold production
of the world during the year 9O4 was

the largest on record, exceeding that OF
1903 by Sl7 .697 2SS. or 81 per cent; that
of 1902 by s4S,9l2,65l. or ll.l per cent.
and that of 1901 by $50 44S 2l5. or 24.9

Australasia retained the first rank,
the United States second, the Transvaal
third. The FIVE great producers--Aus-
tralasia, the United States, the Trans

output Of S2s7 .432. Ill or S2.8 per cent. OF
the total.
Not all this great increase has been
