Absurd and PeriIous.

Congressman Lands desired to IL
lustrate the absurd and perilous posi-
ton of a Doodle politician whose dis
honesty had been exposed.
There, before the crash came" he
said, "the man stood tottering and
swaying, pale and scared; and, though
I pitied him, had to laugh at him be-
cause his position was so ludicrous.
HE reminded me of the Indianap-
oils barber who got drunk one busy
Saturday afternoon.
"This barber. heavy with eighteen
large, cold glasses Of beer, lurched
into his shop at the end of the ball
game, put on his white coat, seized a
razor, and began to shave a patron
whom the apprentice had just lathered
up.
"As the barber shaved away he held
onto the patrons nose.
Hang it, the patron said. What
are you about, anyway? Let go of my
nose, will your

bit of it. If l did I'd fall down.

Reasons for Learning Greek.

the study of Greek. The first was that
it enabled you to read the words of the
Savior in the original tongue; the sec

it; and the third was that IL led to sit

The first reason is probably erroneous,
the second is un-Christian, and the
third is a gross motive which would

Just as he had done so, a commotion

added that this occurred at about one

PERIL IN PEANUT BUTTER.
One Mouthful Sufficient to Cause Split

The last case | will mention at this
time was on this wise: She returned
in the evening from a shopping foray
and casually mentioned that she had
some peanut butter She set it down
in the kitchen. Later in the evening
he slipped out in the kitchen in
sort of desultory. quiet, and unosten-
tatious way and cut a piece of bread
and set about spreading on some OF
the peanut butter. In the dim light
he did well and got plenty on. but I'M
fortunately she had not mentioned
that she had also bought some enam-
cline for polishing the stovepipe.
When the bread was spread he took
a mouthful of it, the kind of mouth
fnl man is apt to take when the re-
straints and formalities of effete So
ciety are far from him. Then he
placed some handsome but unpremed-
itated stucco work on the newly
painted walls of the kitchen, and
from that date things began to get
twisted, and there was not that de-
lightful camaraderie that there had
been. She got alimony two years
later, and it was charged that he had
spells of temper, and on one occasion
went into the kitchen just after it had
been newly painted and filed his
mouth with some black substance. and
then, like Chinaman wetting down
an ironing, spurted it seventy-two
ways from Sunday. That shows how

of late years he has declined to enter

From small beginning he has reached
the place where he is now considered
the largest individual landowner in the

For some years past he has been the

He has the greatest faith in the

as simply in its infancy. Aside from
the increasing mining interest of the

The lode will be carefully sampled
from end to end to fix the point for
sinking on the vein. Every miner
knows the advantage of a tunnel
proposition, and these claims have
two tunnel sites running on the ledge,
giving 400 and 900 feet of backs re-
spectively. which will be of immense
value in working the property.
By reference to the cut it will be
seen that our claims lie along the
range of hills on which the mines
above mentioned are located. all with
in a distance of three or four miles.
The general trend of the mineral lode
passes directly through all these
claims so that it is hardly possible
that we are not full sharers in the
general prosperity of the camp.

controlled by MesSrS. Ten Brock,
Acorn and Barnard, who have form

Bullfrog with nearly all the loca-
tions, the name originally given, it
is said, on account of the peculiar
green tint of the rich rock, to the
casual observer indicating the pres
ence of copper. but really owing. to a
bromide of silver present in these
ores.
Perhaps the most conspicuous sue
cess in Bullfrog to date is the Mont
gomery- Edwards property. IT is a
well authenticated fact that a bona
fide offer of $4,000 a day and 60 per
cent of the net output was made for
a lease of these claims for a year
and the offer was promptly declined.
To narrow gauge man the offer of
$3,650,000 for 75 per cent of the pro-
duct of his mine would cause heart
failure TO say the least IL he couldn't
jump quick enough to accept it. But
If. as is said TO be the case, they are

are well inside the money in keeping
the property in their own hands. One

The company has constructed a

to put in duplicate line. When COM

good-sized towns with an abundance

The men associated with Colonel
Hickey in this enterprise are all
wealthy mining men. who have invest

Probably as a banker, Colonel Hickey
