An Interview with Kruger.

fate that many interviewers have had
with the former president of the

How to Obtain sleep.

If you fear a sleepless night undress
in the dark. Light stimulates and
arouses the activities. Darkness is
supposed to produce drowsiness. Put
some chopped ice in a rubber bag and
place it at the lower extremity of the
spine. This is particularly quieting
to the nerves. Do not use anything
but a rubber bag or you will merely
have a damp cloth and rheumatism
by morning. Do not use a pillow. Re
lax every muscle so far as possible.
Sprawl over the bed with arms and
legs stretched out. Take a sponge
bath with tepid water just before
going to bed. Lie on your face in.
stead of your back. That is the way
babies sleep and their methods are
scarcely to be improved upon in this
particular. All pressure is removed
from the spine by this means and
delicious feeling of restfulness en-
sues. Make up your mind that you
won't keep awake long enough to hear
someone come in to outline the next
days work. You will drop asleep i'm.
mediately.

Well" said he, the financial risk
is good. for the property is worth
three times the amount of the loan.

LAND LOST TO TEXAS.
Result of Recent Surveys of the Lone
Star States Boundary.


Three portions Of the boundary
lines of the state of Texas are under
dispute. and in each instance the ter
ritory of the Lone Star State is cut
into" said Marshall T. Golden to a
Washington Star man. There was re
Gently filed in the land office of the
state a report of the work under the
act of Congress requiring the Secre-
tary of the Interior to establish the
Tooth meridian. which forms part OF
the eastern boundary Of Texas. 1t
was at first believed that Texas would
gain an eight-mile strip from Indian
Territory. but on the contrary. accord
ing to the report, Texas will probably
loose a strip three-quarters of a mile
wide. Should this report be consid-
cred as final people holding property
on what was always considered the
Texas side will lose their title. as
Texas deed to the land will not be
legal.
The same condition prevails along
the entire panhandle on the western
end of the state. Surveyors have fixed
the 103d meridian so as to cut off a
strip three miles wide, embracing 300.-
900 acres, from the Lone Star state
and 1t has recently been brought to
light that New Mexico disputes the
boundary line extending from the
westernmost point of Texas, and the
Lone Star state is about to lose more
land to New Mexico"

having spent many thousands of dol

wealth as it goes down. A fine vein
of carbonate of iron. within our own
lines, parallels it below and an ex-
cellent measure of lime above. These
are the oily fluxes needed to reduce
this ore. Plenty of water power
near at hand and an abundance of
fuel. The only impediment to the
successful operation of these mines,
even when their products are very
low, was the lack of transportation.
decided to part with limited amount
of treasury stock, for the purpose of
constructing ore roads and putting
in the necessary machinery.
one-third of all the stock was
placed In the treasury so that we Will

bridge any necessary expense. but
only small block is offered at this
time. as we are confideRt that as soon
as we have transportation facilities
that the mines will Immediately place
themselves on paying basis, now
that the price of their products have
nearly doubled.

We will be glad to have our property
inspected at any time, as it will much
more than bear out any of these
statements. But don't neglect to
come in and reap with us, as there
are thousands of tons of high grade
ore ready to ship as soon as this road
can be completed, and the harvest
win be great.
Treasury stock is now offered at
l5cents per STARE. owing to the great
necessity for this road. When we
have accomplished that the stock

to decorate them with initials. A man
likes an umbrella that he can pick out
at sight from "A bunch of others at

simple apparatus for dispensing with
the postage stamp and enabling any
one to get his letter franked after
office hours. The apparatus can be
affixed to any pillar box; n coin is
dropped into a slot, the corner of the
letter is inserted, and the machine
stamps the envelope with the amount
paid. All you have to do, then. is to
drop the letter into the pillar box for
collection.
