THE LuNAcY OF LOVE.
Bulvver Lytton's Letters to His Own
"AdOred Poodle"

"AdOred Poodle"
To Miss Louise Dewey, the former
friend and the executrix Of Lady Lyt-
ton, had been confided packet of 299
letters, representing the correspond
once of Bulwer LyttOn with Miss
Wheeler in the days of their early
courtship. Miss Dewey published these
with preface stating that she took
this action in order to vindicate the
manner the letters could be regarded
as a vindication it Is difficult to see,
though they serve as remarkable con-
tribution to the literature Of epistolary
lovemaking. The extravagant absurdi-
ty of some of them is almost beyond
belief, and two passages may be quot
ed as illustrative of many others. In
the letters Bulwer Lytton addresses
Miss Wheeler as Poodle" and signs
himself Puppy" or "Puppo."

thanks for 90 darling letter. Me is SO
happy, me is wagging my tail and put

PENGUINs FEEDING.
The Change That Takes Place When
They Enter the Water.

The Change That Takes Place When
They Enter the Water.
The appearance of the keeper of the
penguins at the zoo, with his pail Of
live gudgeon, is the signal for sudden
and intense excitement In the cages.
The penguins wave their little hippers
and waddle to the door, whence they
peer eagerly down the wooden steps
leading to the pool. The cormorant
croaks and sways from side to side,
and the darters poise their snaky heads
and spread their batlike wings. At the
waters edge the penguins do not
launch themselves upon the surface
like other water fowl, but instantly
plunge beneath.
Once below water an astounding
change takes place. The slow, ungain-
" bird is transferred into a swift and
brilliant creature, beaded with globules
of quicksilver, where the air clings to
the close feathers, and flying through
the clear and waveless depths with az
rowy speed and powers Of turning far
greater than in any known form Of
aerial flight. The rapid and steady
strokes of the wings are exactly SIM
liar to those of the air birds, while Its
feet float straight out level with the
body, unused for propulsion or even as
rudders and as little needed in its prog
ress as those of wild duck when on
the wing.
The twists and turns necessary to
follow the active little fish are made
wholly by the strokes Of one wing and
the cessation of movement In the other,
and the fish are chased, caught and
swallowed without the slightest relax
alton of speed In a submarine flight
which is quite as rapid as that of most
birds which take their prey In midair.
In less than two minutes some thirty
gudgeon are caught and swallowed be-
low water, the only appearance Of the
birds on the surface being made by one
or two bounds from the depths, when
the head and shoulders leap above the
surface for a second and then disap-
pear.
Any attempt to remain on the sur
face leads to ludicrous splashing and
confusion, for the submarine bird can
not float. 1t can only fly below the
surface. Immediately the meal Is fin
ished both penguins scramble out of
the water and shuttle with round backs
and dropping wings back to their cage
to dry and digest.-London Spectator.

Goodrich enclosed the following statement by Chairman Hamilton of the committee setting the Arizonians right in this natter

 My Dear Mir Morrison In relation to the report that feeling hostile to New Mexico was expressed and that statements derogatory to the people of New Mexico were made in the hearing before the committee on the territories by the recent delegation from Arizona, take pleasure in saying that no un- iN4iitA AO0AA's7 " eA' e4s-tiiASN AilN people of New Mexico as a whole.

A BOYS BREAKFAST. There's a Natural Food That Makes It's
 Own Way.

There's a boy up in Hoosick Falls, \. Y, who is growing into sturdy man hood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts IL might have been different with him, as his mother explains:
 My 11-year-old boy Is large, well developed and active. and has been made so by his fondness for Grape Nuts food. At five years he was a very nervous child and was subject to ire quent attacks of indigestion which used to rob him of his strength and were very troublesome to deal with. He nc yer seemed to care for anything for his breakfast untu I tried Grape Nuts, and I have never had to change from that. He makes his entire breakfast oS Grape Nuts foods. It is always relish ed by him and he says that it satisfies him better than the ordinary kind of a meal.
 Better than all he is no longer troubled with indigestion or nervous ness. and has got to be a splendidly developed fellow since he began to use Grape-N Nuts food" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

GENIAL GENTLEMAN
 PRESIDENT PLUMB
The Urbane Head of the Yeager Cam on Copper Co in the City Yesterday.

| Robert F. Plumb of Detroit. Mich. arrived in the city on the late train yesterday afternoon from the north and spent last evening here a guest of the Hotel Adams, leaving for the north this morning He will travel directly
 to his home for he nas been in the ter ritory for several days past Most of this time he spent at Prescott in con sultation with Hon. R. F. Sloan. with whom he is interested in the Yaeger Canon Copper company. MT. Plumb IS the president and is most enthusias- l tic over the prospects of the company and for that matter the whole mining future of Yavapai county. Last even-
 ing at the Hotel Adams AIr Plumb
 very freely discussed the affairs of the company.
 We have a large force of men now at work" said MT. Plumb. and I have not the least doubt that the pres ent force will have to be increased
 when some of our future plans are put in operation. In all we have twenty six claims under the control of the company wnich gives us an area of
 572 acres in what is known as the Black Hills district The formation we have encountered in our work is diorite and slate showing three prin- cipaI ore bodies occurring as Assures in diorite of which one averaging four teen feet is developed by two shafts.
 My engineer has estimated that
 there are now some S0.O00 tons of ore in sight with about 10000 tons of ore blocked out for stoping. The ore aver ages about per cent copper and car ries in addition gold and silver values. l think before a great while we will build some line of road that will inn prove our present shipping facilities. For some three months now We have been shipping ore from our concen- trating mill to the shelter Some of this ore has been worth as high as S6O ton. We are now working at the bottom of a 900 foot shaft and here we have encountered ore bearing born ite and chalcopyrite."
 According to MT. Plumb he makes the trip west twice a year for he is very fond of travel and above all loves the sights of the west. He has an ac- quaintance along the entire line of the Santa Fe road where all the trainmen and the attaches of the Harvey house welcome him for his happy disposition and the many pleasant moments of conversation they have with him. His great personal likeness to Hon. Chaun- cey Nj. Depew often leads to his being taken for that man of prominence and Er.
