BOSTON GIRL LEARNS.

Miss Susie Dodge. who is visiting in
camp, is getting along first rate. She
got a frightful ducking two weeks
back. 1t seems that Sue is from a
town named Brookline. which is q
suburb of the Baked Bean metrop-
oils. She tried to throw on dog when
she reached this camp, and she re-
ferred to the graveyard shift in the
Wild Bill mine as Indians. They took
Susie down in the bucket soon after
and there was about six feet of water
in the sump. After Sue had got
soaked good and right, she changed
her ideas and agreed that the bunch
was made up Of Puritan Baptists. Sue

in diameter may be gathered from the
fact that in one pound of the metal
there are over six miles of such wire.
The weight of the diamonds used
for this work is from four to five
karats and they are uncut except as
to the die. The value of these dies
which are not, of course, of the first
water, varies from SIS to $50 a karat
and several hundred thousand dollars
worth of diamonds are utilized as
dies in the various wire factories of
this country alone.
Skillful, however, as must be the
artisans who sink these small dies and
attenuated as the wires drawn
through them may be- yet neither will
stand comparison with the output of
the spinneret of the common spider,

THE HALL OF FAME.

Senator Hale, of Maine, is one of
the most dignified and austere of the
statesmen. but when he was in the
house they called him "Bub' Hale.
Julius Kahn, the representative
from San Francisco, was an actor for
10 years. He was a tragedian and
played with Booth, Barrett and Sal
vini.
Augustus Octavius Bacon. of Geor-

Michigan, are the only senator's whose
parents loaded them down with clas-
sical names.

PECULIAR USE FOR DIAMONDS.

A fact not generally known is that
diamonds are quite extensively used
as dies for drawing wire of the small
est sizes For instance, the size less
than, say, 0.025-inch diameter. The
hardest steel dies are not suitable for
this work, for the reason that the
wear upon them so enlarges the die
that the diameter of the wire is not
uniform within the required percen-
tage of variation at the beginning and
end of a drawing.
Sapphires are also used sometimes
for this work. Copper, silver and
platinum are the metals usually
drawn to the very smallest sizes. With
diamond dies it is practicable to draw
platinum to a diameter of five-thous-
andths of an inch. An idea of the
flneness of copper wire drawn to
only three one-thousandths of an inch

SOME DARK STATISTICS.

The number of homicides and
deaths by violence in the United
States in 1905 was 9212, as against
SiS2 in 1904 Suicides, 90S2, as
against 924O in 1904. Killed on steam
railroads in 1905. 3140; injured, 15,
904. Killed on electric and elevated
railroads, 464; injured, 1922. Thesa
statistics, collected by the Chicago
Tribune, are unofficial, but perhaps
they are none the less trustworthy on
that account. We murder and man
slaughter nine times as many as the
Germans, four times as many as the
English. Scotch ana Welsh. America
seems to be a little careless, to put
it mildly.-"With the Procession" in

DON'T LIKE LA TOILETTE.


The Kansas City Journal says:
THE announcement OF Senator La
Toilette that he will bolt if Fairbanks
is nominated will cause many voters
who have not thought much about
Fairbanks to wonder if he isn't a
mighty good man for president, after
ALL"
What has senator La Toilette done
to make his presence in the repubn-
can party obnoxious to republican ed
itors? asks Bryan's Commoner.
He seems to stand very high among
men of all political parties in all sec
tons of the country. The republican
national convention undertook to read
him out of the party and refused his
delegation Il seat in the convention;
but, appealing to the people of Wis
consin, he was vindicated by an enor-
nous majority, reelected to the office
of governor, and then erected to the
United states senate, since which time
he has steadily grown in public favor.
Senator La Toilette seems depend
able when it comes to a question be-
tween right and wrong, to a contest
between special interests and public
interests; yet some republican editors
and leaders seem very anxious to read
La Toilette out of their party.
The extreme anxiety of the Kansas
City Journal on this point is shown
by its willingness to go so far as to
nominate Mr.. Fairbanks in 1908.

Mitchell been present Chattanooga would

Gen. Fry, Gen. Buell's Chief Of Stan
