Mine Dividends for Waits

Operating gold mine to secure
funds for the juvenile court of the city
of Denyer is the latest fad of Mrs.
J. J. Brown, one of the society lead
ers of Colorados capital, according
to the Cleveland Leader. The funds
of the treasury upon which the judge
of the juvenile court in Denver has
drawn to reclaim boys from their
wicked ways have been fearfully low
of late. Judge Ben B. Lindsey, father
of the juvenile court movement in the
west, appealed to a Mrs. Brown,
whose wealth and social position have
made her the patron o. all the chart
ties of the day.
eff you could only insure us an in
come of $4,000 a year. said the judge
to this resourceful woman.
Mrs. Brown was lost in thought for
a brief space and then said: Il will
insure you twice that sum; the boys
of Denver deserve attention from so
ciety. 1 will lease a claim in Cripple
Creek and give them the proceeds
The next day Mrs. Brown penned re-
grets to a round of fashionable func-
tons and was off to the great mining

Fierce Tigers Of China

Annoy is an island city on the China
coast, near Formosa. There are
mountains west of Annoy and accord
ing to a correspondent there are tigers
III them. These tigers lead an easy
and Independent life in the caves and
dens which abound. They come out
of these every evening just as the
shadows creep over the land and the
blue mists rise from the lower ground
and hide the hills. Then the inhabi-
tants get within their houses and keep
the door between them and these
savage brutes. Many a poor woman,
coming with water from the well, or
farmer, delayed too long in the fields,
has fallen victim to them. The nights
are spent by the tigers in foraging,
and the foxes and wild cats that roam
the hills and the dogs in the villages
become their prey.
There is nothing, however, that
gives the tigers such supreme delight
as the capture of good-sized pig

The pier was deserted when Barlow
and Miss Grant came strolling up the
beach from the automobile races,
which had proved to be a decidedly
tame diversion. Barlow had many
things he wanted to say to the girl,
and he wanted to say them in place
where he could be sure they would be
alone and uninterrupted. The pier
looked promising.
'Shall we go out?" he said, halt
ing at the pier and addressing the
girl.

watch. 'Sti1l, it does look quiet and

go out for a few minutes"
1--WE need a few minutes rest" he
laughed as they walked down the pier.
They went to the end and sat down
on a stringer that made a comfortable
seat. The sun had gone down, and the
trees of the orange grove were shapely
black silhouettes against the flaming
sky. Beneath them lay a tranquil.

They are truly Chinese in their tastes

will go at a steady trot with a dead
pig thrown over its back up the sides
of steep hills, jumping over huge
powders and taking cross cuts over
the most inaccessible ground. The
physical strength of a tiger is some
thing enormous, and it's capacity for
devouring large quantities of food is
scarcely less amazing"
"A Chinaman asleep in a tiger-trap
is something of a novelty, even for
Perak," says Penang writer. "a
coolie was discovered one morning
near a Kinta mine, having apparently
passed the night in the trap. When
reused he said that sleep had over
taken him and so he chose the one
spot least likely for the tiger to visit
the trap that had been set for a
year without result. He thought that
the tiger knew a thing or two about
traps"

ing among it's fellows. Every now and
then we could hear a plaintive cry,
as the eagle followed it up The others
did not seem to take the least notice.
When the creature was fairly out of
the crowd the eagle bounced on it and
sailed away. l have never tackled
flying fox myself, but by the natives it
is considered a great delicacy, and
only old men are allowed to eat it.
To convey some idea of the numbers
which congregate together, when near

to be flying foxes"

the native speared a rock cod every

fish in rockholes under water. 1t is
done with a plant which they secure

1t makes all the difference in the
world, in results, whether you come
to your work every day with all your
powers intact, with all your faculties
up to the standard; whether you come
with the entire man, so that you can
fling your whole life into your task or
with only a part of yourself; whether
you do your work as giant or as
pigmy. Most people bring only
small part of themselves to their
tasks. They cripple much of their
ability by irregular living, bad habits
in eating and injurious food lack of
sleep, dissipation of some other folly.
They do not come to their tasks ev-

Personally she inspected the ores
of the claims from which she hoped to

went down into the mines often in

ments from the hanging wall with a
miners pick and took them to an
assayer to determine the value of the

dozen claims in the four days she
spent in Cripple Creek and out of this
number she selected one that was
rich enough to pass muster.
Since the mine was opened six
weeks ago the smelter receipts, be
sides paying expenses of operation,
have added over $1,000 to the juvenile
court fund in Denver.

occasion l obtained a magnificent tur-

is infested with hawk-bill turtles, from
which the article of commerce known
as tortoiseshell is taken. There is
also an unlimited supply of the green
back turtle, from which the famous
soup is made l have eaten the hawk
bill turtle, but the green-back is con-
sidered the proper one for edible pur-
poses. 1 have seen the natives kill the
turtles and, after cutting out the
meat, scoop out the rich green fat,
which lies between the meat and the
shell, and eat it hot and raw. The
turtles come up above high water mark
and scratch out a nest in the sand,
where they lay their eggs and then
cover them over. The eggs are

Silently they finished their walk
down the pier. Silently they crossed
the orange grove and mounted the
hotel steps. The orchestra at one
end of the piazza was playing lively
march. To Barlow it sounded like a
dirge. He was sick at heart and dis
gusted with himself.
He was aware of a vague sense o.
relief when the girl said goodnight
at the door. To his surprise, instead
of going in at once. she stood looking
at him with a queer light in her eyes

GAS AND WATER
IS ONE AS NECESSARY AS THE
OTHER?
Citizen. of Large Cities Say It '.-

New York, June 13.--In the recent
agitation here about the price OF gas,
the demand for lower rates was sup
ported by the argument that every
resident is as dependent upon sup
ply of gas as upon a supply OF good
water.
1t has come to pass that the day
iaborer uses gas as his only fuel for
cooking, because of economy, and the
rich man uses gas on account of its
convenience. Gas for lighting. with
modern improvements in burners, is
cheaper better aud more satisfactory
than any other kind of light Gas
sells at $1.O0 per thousand cubic feet
in large cities and from that to as
high as $500 in smaller towns.
The consumer of gas in the country
uses Acetylene pronounced a-set-a-
lene), and each user makes his own
gas and is independent of Gas and
Electric Companies Acetylene is
more perfect illuminant than the gas
sold by the big gas companies in the
cities, and the cost to the smallest
user is about the equivalent of city
gas at IS cents per thousand.
Acetylene is the modern artificial
light, the latest addition to the many
IAdl hdsS OS(o-IS OdiAy
necessities.
The light from an acetylene flame
is soft. steady and brilliant, and in
quality is only rivaled by the suns
rays. If water and a solid material
known as Calcium Carbide are
brought into contact, the immediate
result is the making of this wonder
full gas. The ge-eration of acetylene
is SO simple that experience or even
apparatus is not necessary to make
1T. If it is desired to make it for prac-
teal lighting, and to keep it for i'm
mediate use, then a small machine
called an "Acetylene Generator" is
employed. There are many RESPONSE
BILE concerns making acetylene gener-
ators. In practice, this gas is dis
tributed in small pipes throughout
buildings, grounds, or entire cities
| and towns, in the same manner as
| ordinary city gas. Acetyiene is the
| only satisfactory means of lighting
| isolated buildings located in the coun-
| try or suburbs at distance from city
gas or electric plants.

At the conference of the managers
of the New York Central Lines, held
in New York June 9Th, all lines be-
ing represented by their General
Managers and Passenger officials, IL
was decided, beginning with the regu
lar summer change, Sunday, June
18th, to quicken the speed of the
Twentieth Century Limited SO as
to make the time between New York
and Chicago eighteen hours instead OF
twenty hours, the New York Central
Lines having made the twenty hour
time during the past three years, and
having also made the run between
New York and Chicago in twenty
hours with their Exposition Flyer"
for the one hundred and eighty days
of the Columbian Exposition in Chi
cago in 1893, twelve years ago.
The New York Central Lines make
the point that the New York Central
has had in service the Empire State
Express" which has been the fastest
train in the world for its distance.
440 miles for fourteen years, having
held the worlds record for that time
and for three years and $50 days hav.
ing held the worlds record for
thousand mile train in twenty hours.
The proposed schedule of eighteen
hours is simply the extension of the
time of the Empire State Express"
through from Buffalo to Chicago, the
time having been made for fourteen
years between New York and Buffalo.
On this new schedule, the train will
leave Chicago at 2:30 p. m, arriving
Grand Central Station, New York.
at $50 next morning, and returning,
will leave New York 3: 80 p. M, reach
ing Chicago $3.50 a. m. following day.
At the same time, the Lake Shore
Limited" will be quickened up an
hour, and will make the time from
Chicago to New York in % hours in
stead of "a. leaving Chicago $50 p.
m, by the Lake Shore and arriving
New York $50 p. M, by the New
York Central
The Southwestern Limited train,
No. IL, which now leaves Grand Cen
trail station at 1 p. M, will, beginning
June 18th, leave at 2:04 p. M, saving
an hour to an hour and a half on the
present journey to st. Louis and Gin
