The Dime,

That neat and lovable little coin, the
dime. has had a most useful history.
As far as we are aware, 1t Is unique
among the worlds coins, having NO
nearer equivalent than the English six
pence, which is worth cents more. Ii
Is one of the handiest OF coins, being
about as small as silver piece can
conveniently be. Being less In size and
weight than the nickel, which Is wort!
only half as much, 1t Is vastly more
convenient to keep and hoard, and that
is one reason why 1t is becoming eX-
traordinarily scarce In spite of thu
fact that more dimes are now turned
out Of the mints than lever before IN
the country's history. There Is a rage
for "dime banks" and some Of these
mechanical coutrivances are so pretty
90 ingenious and so alluring that they
force people to save dimes who have
no earthly occasion to do so.-Nsw
York Mail.

DIVORCE CONGRESS
HITS At FRAUDS
Action Against the Migratory Di-
vorcee Is Also Urged on
States.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Before finally
adjourning last night the congress on
uniform divorce laws for the several
states adopted the following resolution
which seeks to make even more string
ent the laws pertaining to the "migra-
tory character of divorces.
Each state should adopt statute
embodylng = the principle contained in
the Massachusetts,, act, which is as fol
lows:
IF an inhabitant of this common
wealth goes into another state or coun-
try. to obtain divorce for a cause
which occurred here while the parties
resided here or for cause which would
not authorize a divorce by the laws of
this commonwealth, divorce so OBJ
tanned shall be Of no force or effect in
this commonwealth. -
IN reporting this resolution, Chairman
Smith OF the resolutions committee
explained that it's purpose was to guard
against migratory divorce, which would
still obtain, providing some state or
states declined to adopt the uniform di-
vorce code to be prepared
resolution was also adopted, pro-
vldlng that fraud or collision in OBJ
tanning or attemptingsto obtain divorces
should be made statutory crimes by the
criminal code" - ~ -.
The report Of the committee on reso-
buttons on marriage licenses and mar
riages was covered by resolution
which declared, "That while the con-
gress does not regard the consideration
OF the marriage laws as within the pur-
view of the~call under which it as
sembles, it desires to express it's earnest
hope that some suitable effort will be
made by some other body to secure uni
form marriage laws and especially a.
uniform marriage license law; and it
would respectfully recommend the mat
ter to- the consideration Of the commits
sioners on uniform state laws.''
1t was further recommended that the
necessity for annual collection and pub
LEGATION Of statistics on divorce would
greatly assist him in, combating the di-
vorce evil. At present but eleven states
compile such statistics. -

As a result of recent scientific inves

our ideas of the barrenness of the
Sahara Desert, since it has been found
by boring that there are numerous
springs which rise to the surface and
make possible system of irrigation.
IN the territory to the south of Algeria

test Dorings. some of which are as
oeep 2,O0O feet. In this way considera-

HIS DOGS DEVOTION.
Master Goes From Colorado to Vir-
ginia for His Canine Friend.

For weeks, "Shep," a blooded Scotch
collie dog, waited at lonely station in
Augusta county, Virginia, for the re-
turn of his absent master. The master,
c. f. Dorian of 104S West Eighth ave
nue., Denver, when he heard that his
devoted pet was homeless, took rail
road trip to Virginia to get possession
of the dog and bring him to Colorado.
The two have never been separated
since.
Mr.. Dorian was at the Union depat
last night, says the Denver Republican,
waiting for train to take him to
South Platte, Nebraska, where he is to
do some contract work for the Union
Pacific railroad. With him, was the
dog, "Shep."
Il left Augusta county, Virginia,
where l had a farm several months
ago. l gave 'Shep' to neighbor, be-
lieving that he would be better off
than with me. Shortly after l left he
broke his chain and returned TO my
farm, which was in the hands of
strangers, He took up the scent at the
farm and followed my footsteps to the
railroad station. There he waited for
me for three weeks, taking but little
nourishment.
"The station agent, knowing the dog
and knowing me, wrote to me, describ
ing the dogs actions, about the end of
the second week. l Immediately left
