 The discovery of the great worth of the deposits of Mesa Grande was. after all, q mere accident.

Twelve Minutes to Write Popular Song

 Every one who saw Raymond Hitchcock in Easy Dawson" has hummed or whis- tied that catchy song, And the World Goes On" The way in which 1t was written is truly remarkable. It's author is Jean Lenox, 0 young lady of Charles ton, s. C. She was occupied one day with the tedious duty of comblng her hair, when, suddenly, the telephone bell rang.
 'Wel?" said Miss Lenox. "Who Is this? Oh, Harry Sutton? Yes. Good morning, MT. Sutton"
 Henry w. Savage wants song for MT. Hitchcock. Wants 1t bad. Doesn't care about the theme. Anything that will to set to music?"
 "Yes"
 "When?"
 Now"
 "When shall send for them?"
 Start your boy. By the time he gets here they will be written"
 Thank you"
 Goodbye"
 'Good-bye.'
 Miss Lenox resumed the combing of her hair, and out of the vast vacuum came the following
 Tt Is sad to contemplate,
 And it's sadder to relate.' iSITlblUB iO oOlhC hhCtlJ PiOO- lem in her haIr) How this good old world forgets you

 Then. completing the arrangement of her hair, she muttered to herself the chorus And the world goes on just the same, And the problem is to find out who is
 to blame, For there aint much sense in whining When you're forced to give up dining
 And the world goes on"
 The came the last stanza, scribbled on an envelope from her mornings mail, and the telephone bell rang again. "Well?'
 ''There's q boy here from music pub fishing house."
 Send him up."
 Just twelve minutes after the first tele- phone message, the words were on their way to the composer, MT. Sutton, who completed his part of the contract with like dispatch.

WASHINGTON HAS A HOTEL FOR INDIANS Red Men Exclusively Entertained

ARE TRACTABLE BOARDERS

Washington, Saturday.-"I have met ln- dians, more of them and of different tribes reckon than any man in the United States said Benjamin r. Beveridge this week. "and I've never been d hundred miles from Washington"
 Beveridge keeps a boarding house in Third street, northwest, in the shadow Of the eapitols dome, where he receives no guests but Indians. For twenty years he has conducted this house. Prior to that he, and before him his mother. ran the old Washington house. now the Hotel Belvi- dere, where they entertained all the ln- dians visiting Washington.
 It was in this hotel that Beyeridge lodged the famous embassy of Sioux that came to make treaty after the Custer massacre. Among the party were the eel ebrated chiefs Red Cloud and Spotted Tail. the aged Young-M g-Man-Afraid-of- f-Eis Horses and Crazy Horse.
 Speaking of that fight Beveridge said: Many of the warriors who were in that battle boarded here and some of them talked freely about it. Of course, every one knows how that old Sitting Bull, who was only a medicine man, and not in, command, got all the blame. But Crazy Horse who is now thought to have been the leader, was not in command. Few ex- cept the warriors themselves know that the whole plan to entrap Custer in an ambuscade was the work of John Gall. He was one of the ablest of the great chiefs.
 Tn my forty years of boarding Indians said Beveridge when asked if they ever made trouble, q have never had any difficulty with them. I have to be careful with some of them-about half, l should say-about whisky. They don't know how to take drink and quit; it means a dead drunk if they can get the liquor.

AMERICA THE OLDEST

Islands is found this paragraph about
Bos Latifrons:
THE precursor OF the buffalo in
Oregon was this broad-faced OK. His
horns were longer and stoutcr and his
bony forehead was wider than that OF
the buffalo. measuring 10 inches
across the line OF the eyes. His skull
was not only very wide. but unusual
ly thick. being two and a half inches
In midforehead.
The book contains the picture OF
skull that was found five or six
miles east OF the Dallas. Ore
Elsewhere In the book Prof Con
don speaks OF the probable age OF
this creature as follows:
The field intended by the term
surface beds includes all slight de
prcssions OF the surface producing
ponds with sediment enough to pre-
serve bones and teeth washed into
them. and also swamps and bcgs into
which large mammals often sink to
their death. leaving their bones to
such preserving agencies as might
occur there. And inasmuCh as the
latest great surfaCc-levelInG agency of
the north temperate zone was that OF
the glacial ice. most OF these surface
dcprcssions would date from glacial
times. and would. therefore. be prop
crly designated as Pleistocene. Fur
